While running through the sky to his palace, Amon accidentally saw Ariel's carriage.
'She must have just met with the Patriarch and given me a mission.'
Amon immediately entered without seeing Ariel, who was still reading the Fire Storm Spell Book.
'It must be Alvis, as usual, entering without permission,' Ariel speculated wildly without looking at Amon, but she soon realized something was wrong when she remembered that Alvis was already dead.
"Amon!!! What are you doing here?" Ariel exclaimed, blushing in surprise, then backing away after seeing her fiancé.
"What's wrong with you?"
"None of your business!"
She suddenly recalled her visit to the hospital for a heart check-up. The doctor had said it wasn't arrhythmia, but because she was in love.
'That's impossible! How could I be in love with the man I hate the most?'
"Your face is red, you know? Are you sick?"
"I told you it's none of your business!"
"I've heard that when a woman blushes when a man approaches, it means she's in love with him," Amon said, grinning.
"That's impossible!"
"Hehehehehe."
"What are you laughing at?"
"None of your business."
Amon looked out the window at the city. After his conversation with Emillia, he had decided to set a new goal, to become a god.
But still, he didn't want to work too hard or expect too much. That way, if he failed, he wouldn't be too hurt.
"Why did you come into my carriage? Get out, now!"
"How dare you kick out your own fiancé. Come here, kiss me quickly."
"Amon, I actually like honest and non-manipulative men. So could you stop ordering me like that? I might actually fall for you if you did that for me."
Ariel said it in a cute voice, her innocent eyes gazing at Amon.
But Amon just raised his hand and pointed his middle finger. "You think you can manipulate me, little girl? Come here, or I'll drag you to my bed once we arrive."
"Tch!"
Ariel could only click her tongue in annoyance before approaching Amon.
To find a better position, Amon lifted Ariel onto his lap.
"You're so light. Have you been keeping your weight down for your fiancé? You're a smart woman."
"I didn't do it for you."
"Then for whom? Tell me so I can kill him."
"You're scary, you know that?"
"I just don't like doing troublesome things like competing for love. It's better if I kill my rivals."
Hearing this, an annoying man popped into Ariel's mind. She smiled mischievously and said,
"By the way, there's a man named Theodore Hampton who has been getting close to me lately. He even gives me gifts often. He's quite an extraordinary man; by the time he was a teenager, he had already become a Duke."
Ariel would be delighted if Amon killed Theodore. To her, that man was as annoying as a mosquito.
"Is that so? I'll kill him when I visit your kingdom," Amon said, as if killing a mosquito like Theodore was no big deal.
Amon then grabbed Ariel's head, pulling her in for a kiss.
Even though it was their third time, Ariel still felt embarrassed doing this.
As their tongues wrestled, the carriage stopped, and the coachman opened the door for Ariel, only to be greeted by a romantic scene of his mistress sitting on her lover's lap while kissing.
"S-sorry!" The coachman immediately closed the door again.
But that left Ariel in an awkward situation.
"Now I'll surely be seen as a perverted princess."
She said, lightly hitting Amon's chest with her small fists.
"You won't be seen as perverted just because of this. Besides, you already kissed me at the party yesterday."
"This is all your fault!"
Ariel then got out with her face blushing from embarrassment.
Seeing his fiancée's cute reaction, Amon just chuckled.
He then stepped out as well, being greeted by a maid.
"Welcome, young master. I have something to report to you."
"What is it? Tell me."
"Lady Mei has already left. She said there was an urgent matter in her empire."
Amon could only shake his head at his new, cold fiancée. He didn't expect she would leave even before they had a conversation. However, Amon wasn't disappointed; in fact, he didn't like Xie Mei at all and was trying to break off his engagement with her.
"By the way, why did you let her out?" Amon asked, pointing at Ariel. "I told you not to let her leave."
"My apologies, but Lady Ariel said she wanted to get her heart checked. Since I thought it was an emergency, I allowed it."
"All right, it's fine."
The maid sighed in relief, knowing she wouldn't be punished.
As a reader, Amon realized something.
'Ariel was never mentioned to have any heart disease. So, based on her reaction earlier, she must have already fallen in love with me. But she probably thinks it's arrhythmia. I know her ideal man is a genius. So of course, I'm in that category. But her love is still shallow, and she still hates me. If I make even the slightest mistake, I'm sure it will disappear.'
Amon then went to his room and started reading the Almighty Titan Formula Tome again.
By nightfall, he had already memorized and understood it.
[Almighty Titan Formula has been added to the archive]
"As I expected, this is truly a divine martial formula."
There are two types of Martial Formulas, based on their creators: Divine and Mortal.
Mortal ones only enhance the user's body by creating a cores, but also allow them to cultivate techniques.
However, Divine ones not only strengthen and create a cores, but also grant abilities, though they don't allow the user to cultivate techniques.
This is because gods are born with extraordinary attributes from the start, so they no longer need techniques like mortals do.
"Miracle Cube, will the techniques I've cultivated be unusable after cultivating the Almighty Titan Formula?"
[No, you can still use the techniques you've cultivated.]
"Then it's not a problem. I can still cultivate techniques. Miracle Cube, cultivate the Almighty Titan Formula for me."
[Beginning cultivation of Almighty Titan Formula]
Most people can only cultivate one Martial Formula because they only have one body.
However, specifically for Almighty Titan Formula users, he can cultivate eight additional Martial Formulas.
With just one, someone can become a manifestation of disaster when they are at the top. But what happens when using nine? Only unimaginable power can he gain.
Amon couldn't wait for the time when he would gain that power.
"In nine months, I'll reach the peak. Not a bad thing. The average ordinary person takes hundreds of years, geniuses take decades; but me, only one year. Isn't it with the Miracle Cube and Almighty Titan Formula that I can become invincible?"
In this world, a year consists of nine months, a month has six weeks, a week has ten days, and a day has twenty-four hours.
