Chapter 110: Linsley Confesses His Love Affairs To Evangeline, A Year Passed
Evangeline smiled, leaning into him. "That sounds like you—always aiming for the top."
"It's who I am," Linsley replied with a grin. "But don't worry, we'll still have time to enjoy ourselves. I've already sealed the Outer God, and now, I'll make sure Kania won't be a threat either."
Without another word, Linsley extended his divine perception across the Avatar World. His consciousness spread out like an invisible wave, reaching every corner of the world.
With just a simple thought, he summoned invisible purple tentacles, which appeared near Kania's forest dimension.
The tentacles silently moved through the forest, their purpose clear. They wrapped around Kania's body, binding him in a cocoon-like prison.
Linsley used the power of negation to seal his abilities, just like he had done with the Outer God. No matter how hard he tried, Kania couldn't break free—he was trapped.
"There," Linsley said, satisfied. "Kania is sealed. We're free to enjoy our time together."
Evangeline sighed with relief, leaning her head on his chest. "I feel safer knowing you've handled everything."
Linsley smiled, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer. "I'll always protect you, Evangeline. No matter what comes, I'll keep you safe."
They stayed like that for a few moments, enjoying the quiet closeness.
But then, something crossed Linsley's mind, and his expression grew more serious. Evangeline noticed the change, her brow furrowing slightly.
"Linsley?" she asked, curious. "What's wrong? You look like you have something to say."
Linsley hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "I do. I have a confession to make, something I should have told you earlier."
Evangeline tilted her head, intrigued but calm. "Go on, I'm listening."
"As I mentioned before, I'm a transmigrator," Linsley began, carefully choosing his words. "But it's not the usual kind you'd expect—where I died in my past world and was reborn here. No, I didn't die. I'm still alive in Terra, my original world.
I traveled to this world with a purpose, and I'll have to travel to others in the future—to become stronger and free worlds like yours from the oppression of the Outer God."
Evangeline blinked, processing what he said. But Linsley wasn't done.
"And this is only my second world," he continued, his tone softening. "There are more worlds I'll have to travel to in the future. And when that happens... well, there's a chance I might find others who are compatible with me, just like you and Seraphina. I'm not the type to reject those connections when they feel right."
He paused for a moment, watching her carefully. "I didn't come here alone in terms of my heart. I... have another lover in Terra. Her name is Seraphina Florentine, and she was my first. I should've told you sooner, and I'm sorry for hiding it from you."
He looked at her, his gaze full of guilt and concern. But to his surprise, Evangeline chuckled softly, shaking her head.
"So?" she replied, her tone light. "I'm actually glad to hear that you didn't die in Terra. I wouldn't want you to have gone through that. Though, let's be honest, we've both experienced death plenty of times in the simulation, haven't we?"
Linsley let out a relieved breath, but Evangeline wasn't finished.
"Anyway," she continued, "it's normal for a god to have multiple lovers—even countless affairs, if we're talking about degenerate gods like Zeus. As long as you love me and your other lovers, I don't really care how many you have. Just be honest, and don't hide them from me."
Linsley blinked, taken aback by her response. "You're really okay with this?"
Evangeline smiled, leaning in and placing a hand on his cheek. "Linsley, I'm not naive. I know the kind of power you wield, and I know how gods can be. As long as you treat us all with love and respect, that's all that matters."
He stared at her for a moment, then let out a small laugh. "You really are something, Evangeline."
"And don't you forget it," she teased, brushing her lips against his. "Now, no more confessions for today. Let's focus on the present, alright?"
Linsley nodded, his heart lighter than it had been moments ago. "Alright."
Linsley smiled, wrapping his arms around her, and they spent the next few moments in comfortable silence. But in his mind, plans were already beginning to form.
There was much to do—building their future, strengthening their power—but for now, it was time to enjoy each other's presence.
…
A year passed swiftly, filled with both moments of peace and intense work.
In that time, Linsley and Evangeline fully embraced their roles as rulers within the Avatar World.
They traveled together, not only to lay the foundation of their new order but to enjoy life as a couple. Their journey took them across major cities, coastal getaways, and picturesque countryside, blending vacation with purpose.
The year was marked by their honeymoon, where they took time for themselves in luxurious private resorts, hidden mansions, and scenic, remote locations. These moments were theirs alone, free from the responsibilities of power.
In these quiet times, they deepened their bond, not just as partners but as equals in the grand scheme Linsley envisioned.
During this year, they also got married in a beautiful yet intimate ceremony. The wedding was held in the heart of the Solstice Family's estate, attended by only their closest allies.
While small, the event was profound—a union of two powerful figures, now partners in life and destiny. With the Solstice Family's blessing, Linsley's status in the Avatar World was firmly established.
But alongside this personal journey, Linsley worked tirelessly on his larger goal: establishing the Avatar Syndicate within this world.
Tenzin and Kyle, two of his most trusted allies, trained rigorously under his guidance. Within months, they achieved the rank of Celestial Avatar Masters, and soon after, they rose to the heights of Ascendence Avatar Masters.
Linsley's influence spread quickly. The Avatar Syndicate expanded, recruiting and training powerful individuals from across the world.
Soon, the organization grew into a dominant force, protecting the world from unseen threats and preparing for the future. The seeds of Linsley's pantheon were planted, and several figures were on the path to becoming gods in their own right.
