Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Goddess Zyraena landed in far away, her mind racing with confusion. The sofa and kitchen were gone, replaced by the deep blue sea that had been there before.

She saw Seojun standing nearby, wiping his cheek and body where she had touched him. His eyes, which had been a deep blue, were now a lighter shade. Zyraena's confusion grew.

"Impossible," she muttered. She remembered the tea she had added a powerful potion meant to hypnotize its drinker. It was supposed to influence even the strongest minds.

Zyraena understood that the potion had worked, making Seojun more influenced by her suggestions. There's no way this human can resist that!

Seojun watched Goddess Zyraena with a calm, almost amused expression. "You used the system function to summon me into the Abyss. You dangled the idea that I'd reunite with my mom if I just cleared your quest, like a carrot on a stick. I see how manipulative you are, Goddess. Twisting my desperation, pulling strings like I'm some pawn in your game."

The Goddess's smirk widened. "And yet, here you are, stronger than ever," she said with a mocking sweetness. "I merely gave you the motivation you needed. Isn't that what you've always wanted, Seojun? And yet, you're not even grateful to those who helped you along the way."

"If it weren't for the system and Cerberus, you would have died long ago. Don't pretend you did it all on your own." She added

"What you know about what i want? I guess you're not aware of what I went through in the Abyss," he said, his voice steady. "You thought you could make me submit to you so easily." He emphasized the last part, making it clear that he was not easily manipulated.

Goddess Zyraena's throat tightened as she gulped. She had underestimated him, and his words hit close to home. She realized he had experienced things she couldn't even fathom in the Abyss, a place beyond her realm of control.

She had no way to observe Seojun during his time in the Abyss. She hadn't been able to see how he had defeated Grimzark, her fallen god brother, and this left her with many unanswered questions. Despite her confusion, Goddess Zyraena tried to convince herself that Seojun's success was due to the help of Cerberus and the hydra.

They must have played a significant role in his achievements, allowing him to reclaim the realm.

Seojun's eyes narrowed as he faced Goddess Zyraena. "Why are you so eager to find Echidna and Typhon's children?" he asked, his voice calm but probing. "Could it be that—"

Before he could finish, Goddess Zyraena cut him off. With a flash of divine light, she elevated herself into the air, radiating brilliant god rays. Her presence was overwhelming as she declared, "You are just a mere tool, and you have no right to ask!"

Seojun watched her with a cool expression, undeterred by her display of power. "You think I wouldn't be angry after you forcefully summoned me and took me away from my mother?" he said, his tone sharp. "Aren't you underestimating a human, Goddess?"

Goddess Zyraena's annoyance flared. She spread her wings wide, glowing even more intensely to emphasize her divine authority. Her voice rang with authority as she said, "You dare question me? I am a goddess, and you are nothing but a pawn in my plans. Your anger changes nothing."

Seojun winced, rubbing his nape as he looked up at Goddess Zyraena. Despite the discomfort, his voice was calm and authoritative. "Get down here, Goddess. You're making my neck hurt."

Goddess Zyraena's eyes narrowed in irritation. "You dare speak to me like that?" she snapped, refusing to move from her elevated position. "You are in no position to give me orders!"

Seojun's expression grew serious. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and pointed a finger at her, speaking with firm authority. "I said, get down, Goddess."

As his finger made a downward gesture, an invisible force of gravity suddenly pulled at Zyraena. Her entire body was yanked downward, causing a massive wave to rise from the sea beneath her. She was shocked and struggled to maintain her divine composure, her radiant form plunging towards the water.

With a powerful splash, she landed on the sea's surface, creating a considerable wave. Water surged around her, and she struggled to regain her balance. Her divine glow flickered as she tried to process the unexpected turn of events.

Goddess Zyraena lay on the sea's surface, stunned and struggling to understand what had just happened. "How?" she thought, her mind racing. "How can a human be this strong?"

From her position, she saw Seojun's feet approaching slowly. He walked calmly, the waves around him settling as he moved. When he reached a dry patch of the sea, he sat down, floating just above the surface.

Seojun grabbed Zyraena's hair and pulled her head up to face him. "Are you going to listen to me now, Goddess?" he asked calmly.

Zyraena's eyes flashed with anger. "Why should a goddess like me listen to a mere human like yo—" She was abruptly cut off by a sharp slap from Seojun.

The sting on her cheek shocked her into silence, and she stared at him, wide-eyed and stunned by the sudden pain.

Seojun kept his grip firm on Goddess Zyraena's hair, his expression unyielding. "You better listen to me while I'm still patient," he said calmly.

Goddess Zyraena, still reeling from the slap, tried to muster her defiance. "I will not—" she began, but her protest was cut short as Seojun delivered another sharp slap to her cheek.

Goddess Zyraena's cheek stung with the unexpected impact, her eyes widening in both shock and outrage. How dare someone lay a hand on her—her, a goddess!

"How dare you slap a woman?" she hissed, eyes blazing as she took a step forward. "Is this how your mother raised you? To strike a woman? To disrespect a woman? You insolent—"

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes momentarily shifting to his open palm. Then, with a smooth, almost casual motion, he raised his hand once more and struck her again with the same unyielding force.

"My palm is unisex."

The sudden pain left Zyraena in shock. "T-this is impossible," she stammered, her eyes wide with disbelief. "A human can't hurt a god or goddess. So how?!"

Her mind raced as she struggled to reconcile the impossible reality before her. Seojun's presence, his power, and his ability to affect her were beyond anything she had ever encountered.

Seojun's eyes were cold and devoid of emotion. "Do you think I won't hurt you just because you're a woman?" he asked, his voice icy. "Well, you're wrong. Make yourself exempt from that idea, Goddess."

Zyraena felt a chill run down her spine as she met Seojun's lifeless gaze. "M-monster! You're a monst-"

Her words were cut off by another forceful slap. The sting of the blow left her reeling, her heart pounding with fear. She stared at Seojun, her mind racing as she tried to comprehend the magnitude of his power and the true nature of the being she was dealing with.

Goddess Zyraena's defiance did not waver even as she faced Seojun's cold, unfeeling gaze. "I will never—" she began, but the words were cut short as Seojun delivered another sharp slap to her face.

The force of the blow made her head snap to the side, and she winced in pain, but her stubbornness remained. "I refuse to—" she tried again, only to be interrupted by another resounding slap.

The repeated strikes left Zyraena stunned and disoriented, but her spirit was unbroken. Each slap was met with a mix of anger and shock.

Slap!

Slap!

Each resounding slap echoed in the silence, further shaking her resolve and leaving her in a state of painful bewilderment.
