Villain of my own novel

After ten minutes of waiting, all the people took out their own pocket systems, together with the supplies and equipments, and understood a few basics of how to call upon the system and whatnot, but they didn't really learn about the inventory function that Isha learned with just a few glances.

"Haa...haa....haa...." Breathing heavily, Isha glared at Eshwar, who was licking his lips seductively as he stared at her with a playful smirk on his face.

'I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this! I mean, he is literally ki-ki-kissing me with every chance he gets! I like it, but still! I don't want to stop him, not that I can, but shouldn't he at least have some restraints? I know that we are officially in a relationship, but hasn't everything been moving too fast? I have read a few stories in which there is romance, not as passionately or intensely as I feel when I'm with Eshwar, but they take too much time....' Isha grumbled inwardly, but as her thoughts neared their end, she began to ponder about it a bit too seriously, with a solemn look on her face.

"Is there something wrong with us? Are we the odd ones?" Isha mumbled out involuntarily, gasping for air.

"Hahahahahaha!!" Eshwar couldn't help himself and laughed heartily at her words, making Isha pout.

"We definitely are the odd ones, but don't worry; whatever you are thinking, I know for sure that there is nothing wrong with us." Eshwar said and kissed Isha's left eye, gently. She didn't know why, but his gentle kisses would give her butterflies every single time. Thinking that she might be the only one, she decided to voice the question that popped into her mind,

"I get butterflies every time you kiss me; is it the same for you?" Isha asked quite bluntly.

"Of course." Hearing Eshwar answer without a second of hesitation, Isha felt butterflies again, but he wasn't done yet,

"I feel this warmth that I know wouldn't get enough of, whenever I'm with you, I feel like I would and will do anything for you, I feel like I want to protect you as if you were something precious that would break if I touched it, but yet I feel the urge to make love with you, I feel like confining you so that only I would be able to see you, yet I feel like I shouldn't, instead I feel like I should show you to the world and say that I love you and warn the world that it'll suffer if something happened to you, I feel like... mhp!"

(AN: OMNISCIENT POV)

Eshwar was going on, trying to express his feelings to the best of his abilities, but the confused frown on his face was showing that even he didn't know what he really wanted, except for being with her. All those overwhelming emotions coming from someone as strong as Eshwar would be terrifying, but Isha loved every bit of it, because she too was feeling the same. She couldn't understand what emotion she was feeling that was making her so confused, but one thing she knew was that Eshwar was at the centre of all of her thoughts, so she gave that feeling a name:

'Obsessive love.'

With that thought, she placed her hands on his jawline and behind his ears and pulled him into a passionate kiss before he could even complete all of his thoughts. Now that she knew that he too was feeling the same, she didn't feel like holding back her emotions and slightly began to loosen her grip on those obsessive feelings that she had so desperately been trying to hold back.

And both of them could feel that something in them was getting excited, and that was definitely not an emotion of lust. Both of their powers exploded out of their bodies, expanding their senses wide and beyond; Isha could sense what Eshwar could, as if she were the one sensing the things herself.

EVERY GRAIN, she could feel every goddamn grain of the mud, every fibre in a grass leaf, how many people were there, how they were breathing and at what rhythm, how the dense mana in the atmosphere moved and how it flowed, everything, she could feel everything in the box they were trapped in and felt like she would be able to know what's past them if she focused a bit more. While Isha was experiencing what Eshwar could at first hand, she was terrified at how absurdly strong he actually was, and while she was admiring the new world that opened up for her with his senses, Eshwar wasn't any better or too different.

He was now seeing a new dull world through her senses; he could feel all the emotions of the people there; he could see their emotions in the form of colours. Since he knew about that, he wasn't THAT surprised about it, but knowing how hurtful it was for Isha, who had been in this kind of world from the start, and knowing whatever they were feeling while speaking with you, was terrifying, even to him, who wanted to "throw away" all of his emotions. And that wasn't all; he could feel the gazes of the gods and goddesses surrounding them, gazing at their recipients, and a few glares upon himself, since he was the one that had killed their recipients. And because he hadn't "held" his God Hater skill when the system asked him to, and despite their glares, they hadn't realised he was the "supernatural abnormality" they couldn't feel before.

And even after feeling all of these absurd things, they had yet to stop kissing; instead, their kiss got more and more intense because they had stopped holding their emotions back, and due to their powers being on a level of their own, none of the people could feel Isha's and Eshwar's godly presences.

Isha's broken soul abruptly healed, completely, because of her connection with Eshwar, getting stronger, and a hint of divinity from her first godly form manifested back in her, and as if a dam had burst, the purity, density, and amount of her divinity rose sharply, up to a point that the divinity she held previously seemed like dirty water.

(AN: slight hint-like info about her soul is mentioned in chapter 47: The Artificial Dungeon (4))

As if their souls themselves were merging, tonnes and tonnes of strings shot out from their souls and fixed themselves on the each other's, and a few of Eshwar's unruly (?) strings of fate expanded out and cut off all the strings that manipulated Isha's divine soul, and they broke the kiss as soon as they felt that.

"Mhnmfpha!!! Haa....haa....haa..." Both of them breathed heavily in a strange rhythm, dazed. Eshwar snapped out of his daze and hugged her tightly, with his right hand on her waist and his left on the back of her head, as if she would disappear if he released his hug, and tears began to stream out of his eyes. Feeling his chaotic heartbeat, Isha's calmed down. She knew what had just happened and also knew that, now, her existence too would disappear if she died once, just like Eshwar, and even without Eshwar saying anything, she knew that he was blaming himself for it.

"I'm alright; it's alright; you don't need to worry. Though I am not strong enough to sever the strings of fate, I would have done that if I could. If you don't remember, let me remind you that I hate the divine realm because of what happened to you, so now I'm thankful for you because, even though my soul is completely healed, I don't really have to ascend to use all of my divinity now." Isha spoke out after calming down for a few minutes, and what she just said was true, and that was also the reason she was still on Earth even though she had already ascended into godhood, even when the rule of a "higher beings not being able to interfere with the worldly affairs," still existed.

"But..." Eshwar opened and closed his mouth a few times, unable to say anything, but when he finally spoke, he was cut short by Isha.

"Stop! Are you underestimating me already? Even though you got your a*s handed to you just a day ago?" Isha asked jokingly.

"I'm sorry." Eshwar apologised and kissed her neck, since no matter what she says, it was because of him that she became like him. Isha giggled lightly and comforted him.

CRA-CRACK

Soon after, cracks began to appear on the barrier that trapped them. Realizing that their powers were still oozing out, which was the cause of the barrier cracking, they hurriedly retracted and hid their powers in themselves.

'Oi.' Eshwar commanded "his" system inwardly, and

ZZZT-ZZT

[Yes?]

He was slightly relieved to know that his system was still working, and since he knew it still worked,

'Nothing.' He said and closed the system prompt.

[Understood.]

DING

As soon as "his" system window closed, another system's notification sound sounded around him. Glancing up, everybody noticed a massive system window up on the barrier.
