The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

"Brother Su, what are your wise thoughts?"

Lister was familiar with An Su's smile. Whenever Brother Su smiled like this, he was sure to come up with a plan that was both elegant and grand.

At the same time, such graceful plans often also required some kind of sacrificial awareness.

For instance, 'Nezha's Riotous Ocean Stream' required the resolution to urinate in public.

This kind of resolution was exactly the noble spirit that Lister had always pursued.

"Do you believe in me?"

An Su spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping past the two men, his tone serious and solemn, imbued with an indefinable aura, "Do you have that resolution?"

Just as expected.

Lister humphed disdainfully. After the battle of wetting his pants, his soul had been completely sublimated, and there was nothing that could make Lister waver anymore.

No matter how intense the pain, no matter how terrible the ordeal, Lister would not retreat. This was the very essence of his noble soul.

"A Knight of the Sun never lacks courage and resolution," Arthur revealed a confident and unworried smile, "Brother Su, don't underestimate us."

"Border people have no cowards," he declared loudly.

"...May I ask which three Holy Relics you are choosing?" the Celestial Messenger was somewhat unable to understand what these three were up to.

As one of the attendants of the starry sky, he had been guarding the Nether World for hundreds of years already.

He had seen plenty of righteous leaders and was no stranger to various leaders of the Esoteric Religion, but he had never encountered anyone as indecisive as these three.

"Are you truly without regret?" An Su fixed his gaze on them, "I'm asking one last time."

"Brother Su is underestimating me too much, we are teammates after all," Lister pushed up his glasses, his eyes now slightly angry.

"Then can you sacrifice for your teammate?" An Su asked slowly.

Lister snorted lightly.

An Su's repeated confirmations clearly showed his disdain for Lister's resolution, his disdain for Lister's noble honor — Lister had always prided himself on his noble spirit throughout his life and would defend it with his life.

Including the diaper advertisement in the newspaper, broadcasting Arthur's lost underwear, using Kavensis's name in the news, were all heroic deeds he silently contributed to.

He just disdained telling everyone about them.

"I refuse to accept such an insult, I will show you what true noble resolution is!"

An Su was moved by Lister's spirit. He applauded warmly, praised Lister's poignant resolution, and happily stated,

—"Since Brother Lister is so willing to make a sacrifice, then bear two."

What did 'bear two' mean... Lister was a bit confused, he hadn't reacted yet, but he saw An Su raising the Magic Wand toward him—

"God's Gift."

An Su whispered softly.

Lister had never heard of this magic, but judging by the situation, it was a Blessing Magic.

And God's Gift sounded like quite a decent spell.

If it was Blessing Magic, then there was nothing to worry about.

He stood there willingly, accepting the Blessing Magic willingly—Lister maintained the perfect gentleman's smile throughout; he wanted to prove to An Su that no matter the circumstances, a gentleman would never lose composure.

It was just a Blessing Magic after all.

Could it be more painful than holding urine all night long?

So with a smile, he smiled on... slowly savoring...

Hmm?

Lister noticed something was off.

An Su used the God-given title on Lister again.

Hmm?

Lister's pupils dilated slightly.

Hmm....

"How do you feel?" Arthur curiously asked, noting that An Su had cast a Blessing Magic on Lister.

He just didn't know why Brother Lister's stomach had suddenly grown so much.

"This humble one feels full of strength all over," Lister responded, turning his head with a perfect smile.

Now was the time to test a nobleman's self-control, his smile easy and relaxed, his head tilted slightly, even his eyebrows seemed curved with joy, cheeks trembling with delight.

"I've never felt so good in my life, every part of me brimming with the breath of life."

With apparent ease, Lister told Arthur, "Arthur, would you like to experience it too?"

Definitely can't let this humble one be the only one to take the plunge... Lister pushed up his glasses.

Brother Arthur,

A good brother should share weal and woe, fighting side by side, right!

"I thought it was something serious, it's just an ordinary Blessing Skill. Big Bro An Su sure knows how to scare people."

Arthur easily fell for Lister's performance, being the sunny, cheerful big boy he was, and said in a lively voice, "Come on, Big Bro An Su, give me one too, don't be stingy."

"Don't worry, you both will get your turn," An Su said with a grin as he cast the Blessing Skill "God's Blessing" on Arthur.

"Thank you..." Arthur couldn't finish his sentence before he felt a strange wriggling.

That sensation came from the depths of his soul.

Spreading upward from his lower abdomen.

It was a touch Arthur, in his more than a decade of manhood, had never felt, an experience he had never had, and even a sensation beyond comprehension.

The pain was definitely not from aching balls—

It wasn't the cold of aching balls but filled with the fervor of life; there was no sourness spreading to his organs but rather his whole being was suffused with this vigor of life,

"Hiss... Waah, uh, uh, uh!!"

Arthur clutched his belly in pain, cold sweat streaming down his cheeks like water, his eyes vacant and helpless, no longer sunny as before, but filled with the dead silence of a harsh winter.

"Brother Lister..." Arthur's pale gaze fixed on Lister, "why deceive me...."

At least Big Bro An Su had warned him to be prepared, but Lister had utterly hoodwinked him!

Lister couldn't hold back the pain either—his discomfort far exceeded Arthur's, his entire shoulder trembling.

He struggled to maintain his noble elegance, speaking in a solemn and serious voice,

"What friendship is, what teammates are... that is fighting together!"

"It seems..." Arthur gasped, "there is some reason to it?"

The Celestial Messenger watched these three fools with a hazy look, blinking his eyes.

Having observed their entire operation,

he was utterly, baffled.

In the several centuries he had lived, the Celestial Messenger had seen all kinds of people.

Life cultists sacrificing their lives, wild and unrestrained chaotic chosen ones, or those from the Painful Esoteric Sect who killed without blinking... he had seen them all.

But he had never encountered such an outrageous and shameless trio!

Speaking of bonds and friendship, then turning around and making your own teammate give birth to an alien creature!

Are these really from the Radiant Holy See?

"We now have six creatures in our squad," said An Su, showing him a pure and clean smile, "Please give us all six Holy Relics."

Huh?

The Celestial Messenger's gaze on An Su grew more bewildered.

...

In all the Nether Worlds of all saints and esoteric followers, the ethereal voice from the cosmos suddenly echoed, ancient and vast.

[New Nether Rule]

[From this day forth, pregnant individuals are forbidden from receiving multiple Holy Relics, regardless of gender]

"Huh?"

This was the confusion of everyone.
