For a long time.
Ryan finally managed to catch his breath after being squeezed in Soso's suffocating embrace. He let out a sigh and wiped the cold sweat from his head.
No way! The situation that was developing in an abnormal direction must be curbed immediately!
Although she was indeed 3005 years old!
But she was still a very young little loli after all!
One shouldn't, at least not!
And just as Ryan was thinking about solutions, a tentacle poked him from behind.
Ryan turned his head and immediately saw a terrifying face almost right in front of him. The breath coming from it was like a storm, blowing on him with a whooshing sound.
[Sanity value -1]
Ryan stared wide-eyed and swallowed before saying:
"Uncle... Is there something you need?"
The Titan's head narrowed his eyes, looking like the head of a mighty lion, and said gloomily:
"Since you - can temporarily turn my daughter - back to her original appearance - can you -"
His expression slowly started to look a bit unnatural.
"I mean -"
Ryan stared wide-eyed, his body stiff, not daring to move an inch.
"That -"
Smack -
Before he could finish his words, a tentacle from behind sent him rolling out more than ten meters.
Ryan stared in shock as the Titan's head rolled away like a ball with smoke coming out of its top, unable to say a word.
"Useless thing - So hesitant when asking for help - Arrogant - You've really lost all face!"
The Witch God's head closed her eyes, the veins on her temples twitching.
Ryan stared wide-eyed and swallowed.
This seemed to carry some personal grudges...
In an instant.
The face of the Witch God's head, which had replaced the Titan's head, instantly showed an extremely gentle and friendly smile like magic.
But because the whole face was really terrifying, it looked even more eerie when she smiled.
"Hehehhehehe -"
The Witch God's head covered her mouth with a tentacle, looking like a reserved noblewoman. Her eyes were full of praise and laughter as she looked at Ryan, making Ryan's hair stand on end and his sanity value drop.
"I knew it - I wasn't wrong about you - Our son-in-law - is unexpectedly excellent -"
Ryan's hair stood on end.
"Our daughter's taste - is really spot on - The more I look at you, the less I can dislike you - To have a good son-in-law like you in our family - I could really laugh out loud in my dreams -"
Ryan stared in shock.
The way she addressed him had changed!
[Sanity value -1]
Ryan stared wide-eyed and said: "Well, Auntie..."
The Witch God's head covered her mouth and said cheerfully: "What are you still calling Auntie - So rude - It's time to change your way of addressing me - Like Soso - Call me Mom - Calling Mom is so much more affectionate - Hehehhehe -"
[Ding! Ryan's sanity value -10]
[Ding! Ryan's sanity value -10]
Ryan sat on Soso's lap in a daze, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
The scene of him being thrown into the air and swung around repeatedly flashed through his mind again.
Could changes really happen this fast?
Ryan let out a sigh and rubbed his temples, saying:
"I'd better... still call you Auntie for now. Auntie, do you also want me to help you and reproduce your appearance like I did for Soso?"
As soon as he said this.
The Witch God's head's smile became even more enthusiastic as she covered her mouth and said:
"No - No - As a mother-in-law - how could I ask my son-in-law to do things for me - That would be really unreserved - Hehehhehe -"
Then she suddenly leaned closer, her huge eyes approaching to within less than a meter of Ryan, and said seriously:
"Can we do it now?"
Ryan said in a daze: "Well, I guess so..."
...
A dozen seconds later.
Ryan stood in Soso's palm, looking seriously at the slightly nervous and uneasy Witch God's head in the distance. He stretched out his hand and said seriously:
"Auntie, first of all, you have to understand that my ability has great limitations!"
"Although the mental energy consumption won't make me overdrawn, there's an important prerequisite, which is that you have to completely let down your guard against me. Otherwise, with your power, even the slightest resistance."
"This ability won't be able to activate successfully!"
The Witch God's head was a bit nervous and said: "I'm ready -"
Ryan nodded seriously.
[Ding! You are activating "Remnants of the Past". Do you want to immediately affect the target?]
"Yes!"
[Ding! Detected that the target's rejection level towards you is: 50%, resistance level towards you is: 12%, and trust level bonus towards you is: 0%]
Ryan: "..."
Looking at the slightly nervous Witch God's head, Ryan let out a sigh and put his hand down, saying:
"Auntie, you're still too rejecting of me. Relax a bit. Don't think of me as a bad person or a threatening creature to you. Otherwise, I really can't succeed..."
The Witch God's head thought for a moment, then her gaze became serious as she said:
"—Now — It's okay —"
She looked full of confidence.
[Ding! The target's rejection level towards you is 60%, and the resistance level towards you is 21%.]
"..."
"Why did it even increase? I really can't help you like this!"
Ryan was getting anxious.
The Witch God's head thought for a moment and said seriously: "Wait a moment - I'll adjust my state -"
Then, under Ryan's watchful eyes, the Witch God's head turned around, muttered something to herself, and took a dozen deep breaths.
Then she turned her head, looking seriously at Ryan, and said:
"Now it's okay..."
But before she could finish her words, she covered her forehead with a tentacle, frowned, and turned her head, murmuring:
"No - I'm still not ready - As soon as I see you - I automatically equate you with "the bastard who lured my daughter" - I - I can't..."
Ryan: "..."
After a long time.
Until Ryan was so frustrated that he was about to give up.
The Witch God's head suddenly had a serious look in her eyes and said: "I've thought of - a way -"
Ryan made a "?" face.
Click -
Under Ryan's astonished gaze, the Witch God's head seriously stretched out a tentacle and then transformed the end of that tentacle into a watch-like disc shape.
She flicked it.
Then the "pocket watch" started swinging in front of her eyes.
"Could it be..." Ryan stood up in shock.
The Witch God's eyes followed the swinging "pocket watch" seriously and said: "I used to be - the most powerful witch of the Titan race - Hypnosis - was my specialty -"
"Wait a moment - I'll erase the prejudice against you in my heart - It'll be quick -"
Then Ryan heard the words she was muttering.
"He is my friendly and harmless son-in-law - He's not the bastard who abducted my daughter - Not a heartless and perverted lolicon - Not a jerk who likes driving big vehicles -"
"I haven't thought about dismembering him - Swallowing him alive - Skinning him - Draining his blood - Turning him into a doll -"
Ryan listened blankly to the various tortures aimed at him that came to his ears.
In total, he counted 121 different kinds.
This... was it really this vicious?
It seemed that if it weren't for Soso's sake.
It was really not easy for him to survive until now!
After several minutes.
"Activate."
The Witch God's head narrowed her eyes seriously, and a purple halo emitted from her eyes.
She immediately closed her eyes tightly, and all her tentacles drooped down.
"While I'm hypnotized..." came her sleepy voice.
"Hurry up and do it to me..."
Her voice got lower and lower until it was almost just a faint buzzing like a mosquito.
"Remember... The reproduction time is... 4500 years ago..."
"That was when I... was at my most glorious..."
She hypnotized herself.
[Ding! The target's rejection level towards you has dropped to 0, and the resistance level towards you has dropped to 0!]
Hearing the system prompt in his ears, Ryan's gaze immediately became serious.
Whether it would succeed or not depended on now!
"Reproduction time! 4500 years ago!"
[Do you want to immediately activate "Remnants of the Past"?]
"Yes!"
Ryan said deeply.
Buzz -
In an instant, blinding light surged out.
And this reproduction made Ryan immediately feel an unprecedented pressure.
Because although the rejection levels in all aspects had dropped to 0, firstly, there was no trust bonus, and secondly, this was after all a deceptive means, not like with Soso who truly believed in him from the bottom of her heart.
Ryan gritted his teeth and struggled to support the reproduction.
Hopefully it would succeed in one go...
Otherwise...
And in the next moment, Ryan suddenly let out a loud roar and forcefully poured all his mental energy into it.
Buzz -
The light instantly converged.
Ryan collapsed, panting, onto Soso's hand, looking at the surging curtain of light.
It should be...
Successful.
Slowly.
As the light dissipated.
The Witch God's head, who felt the changes in her body, immediately woke up from the hypnosis. She was almost impatient, looking downwards in a hurry.
Had she changed back?
Had she changed back to her most glorious appearance?
Before she married that useless guy, when she was still a noble witch period...
The Witch God!
In the next moment.
A pair of familiar small hands wearing black silk gloves came into her view.
She was stunned for a moment.
Then she immediately saw the small black swan-like dress she was wearing on her body, as well as her almost flat chest with hardly any weight...
She opened her mouth and tried to make a sound.
Immediately, a childish and somewhat villainous voice came out of her mouth.
Buzz -
Her gaze became empty in an instant.
Could it be...
