Chapter 90: Chapter 90: A Celestial’s Birth

Maria woke as bright sunlight fell across her flawless face through the window.

Her eyelids fluttered open slowly.

The first thing she saw was an impossibly handsome man sitting beside her.

For a moment, she simply stared.

His face looked as though it had been sculpted by the hands of gods themselves. Perfectly symmetrical. Perfectly masculine. A faint, well-kept beard framed his jaw in just the right places.

His skin looked firm and powerful, while the muscles on his abdomen formed clear, defined eight packs.

His charm and masculinity were overwhelming.

Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

Her heart immediately began racing.

There was only one person in this world who could make her heart beat like this.

Adonis.

Her Adonis.

Yet something felt different.

He looked even more handsome than before.

His crimson eyes had turned golden, glowing faintly with a mysterious brilliance, as if they belonged to a higher being.

Under that gaze, she felt completely exposed.

As if nothing about her could ever be hidden from him.

Adonis noticed her staring and revealed the same familiar smirk he always showed when he was around his women.

But she could clearly sense it.

He had changed.

Not just on the outside, but deep within.

Even the way he breathed felt different. The air moving through his nostrils seemed almost visible, as though he was drawing in the very essence of the universe with each breath.

“Awake, are we?” he said softly, cupping her face.

His voice was mellow, deep, and irresistibly attractive to any woman who heard it.

Maria blinked several times, still trying to process what she was seeing.

Her fingers slowly reached out and touched Adonis’s cheek, as if she needed to confirm he was real.

“You…” she whispered softly. “Why do you look like this?”

Adonis raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Like what?”

“Like a god,” she said without hesitation.

Her voice carried both wonder and disbelief.

“I swear you were handsome before, but now…” she shook her head faintly. “Now you look unfair.”

Adonis chuckled quietly,

“So my wife is complaining about her husband being too handsome?”

Maria pouted slightly, though the faint blush on her cheeks betrayed her feelings.

“You know that’s not what I meant.”

Her eyes slowly drifted toward his golden pupils again.

“Your eyes changed,” she said quietly.

Adonis leaned slightly closer.

“A lot of things changed.”

Maria’s curiosity immediately deepened.

“What happened?”

Instead of answering immediately, Adonis reached toward the table beside the bed and picked up the remaining golden fruit.

Maria noticed it instantly.

The fruit looked strange. Its surface glowed faintly, almost like it was alive.

“What is that?” she asked.

Adonis gently placed the fruit in her hands.

“A gift.”

Maria froze.

“For me?”

Adonis nodded.

“You earned it.”

Her cheeks turned red instantly.

The memories from last night rushed into her mind all at once.

The long night.

The closeness they shared.

The way he held her.

Her ears burned in embarrassment.

“You…” she muttered shyly.

Adonis smiled faintly.

“This fruit is called the Evolution Fruit.”

Maria’s eyes widened.

“What does it do?”

“It evolves the consumer’s bloodline and race.”

Silence fell between them.

Maria looked down at the fruit again as if she was holding something far too precious.

“Something like this must be extremely rare… Why are giving it to me, hubby?”

Adonis shrugged casually.

“Because you deserve it.”

Maria slowly looked up at him again.

“Because of last night?”

Adonis smirked.

“No. Because you are mine.”

Those simple words struck her heart far harder than she expected.

Her eyes quickly became moist.

“You idiot…” she whispered, though her voice trembled with emotion.

Without hesitation, she lifted the fruit.

Adonis watched quietly as she took a bite.

The moment the fruit entered her mouth, it dissolved into pure energy.

Maria’s body suddenly stiffened.

“What…?”

A powerful surge of energy exploded inside her.

Her eyes widened in shock.

The transformation began immediately.

Her body started glowing with a soft silver light.

Her long hair began floating gently around her shoulders as if gravity had loosened its grip.

Adonis watched calmly.

System notifications began appearing before Maria’s eyes.

[ Evolution process initiated ]

[ Bloodline awakening detected ]

[ Energy compatibility confirmed ]

Her heart began beating faster as warmth spread through every inch of her body.

Her bones refined themselves.

Her veins carried a new kind of energy.

Her entire existence felt as if it was ascending.

More notifications appeared.

[ Evolution process completed ]

[ Bloodline successfully upgraded ]

[ Race changed ]

Maria stared as more information appeared.

Maria blinked in shock.

“Stars! Fate!”

“I… I became something else.”

Adonis nodded calmly.

“You evolved.”

Tears suddenly gathered in Maria’s eyes.

She rushed forward and hugged him tightly.

“Thank you, thank you~”

Her voice was filled with emotion.

But at that exact moment, something unexpected happened.

The Harem Overlord’s Link between them suddenly resonated.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Following the resonance, a very powerful wave of energy exploded outward.

It spread across the entire academy.

Across the capital.

Across the kingdom.

Then beyond.

The sky trembled, and Invisible currents surged across the world.

Across every major kingdom. Across distant nations. Across ancient hidden legacies buried deep within the world.

Powerful beings suddenly opened their eyes.

“What was that energy?”

Inside an ancient temple, a group of elders abruptly stood up.

“This presence…”

“It feels like the birth of a supreme powerhouse.”

Inside a distant empire, royal guardians suddenly looked toward the sky in alarm.

“The world energy just fluctuated.”

“Something extraordinary has awakened.”

Hidden organizations began activating ancient detection scrolls.

Everywhere across the world, powerful individuals felt the same thing.

Something dangerous had appeared.

Something extraordinary.

And far away, deep within a mountain range filled with ancient dragons, a pair of massive golden eyes slowly opened.

The creature resting there was the Dragon Queen.

The same ancient being who just lost their Progenitor’s Core.

She slowly raised her head with a dangerous grace.

“I smell it…”

Her voice echoed through the vast cavern.

“Superior dragon blood.”

Her enormous wings shifted slightly as she stood up.

Her eyes narrowed dangerously.

“Could it be those thieves?”

Thinking like that, a slow smile appeared on her draconic face.

“How interesting.”

The Dragon Queen spread her massive wings.

“I must find them.”

And somewhere far away, completely unaware of the storm they had just caused, Adonis and Maria were still embracing each other quietly inside the dormitory roBecauseN
