Surprise! I've Transmigrated Again

Chapter 292 - 292 ⤞ Seduction

Entertainment District, Belit Babili.

Revered as the queen of the Entertainment District, she resided at the highest level of an exceptionally tall palace.

Silver ornaments adorned her head, ears, neck, chest, and arms, their gleaming surfaces complementing her brown skin. Her scant clothing consisted only of a wrap around her waist and thin strips of fabric across her ample bosom.

Under the magic stone lamps, her exposed skin glowed enticingly, her body emanating a sweet fragrance that filled the empty room with endless allure.

She was a stunning beauty!

And this stunning beauty was none other than the Goddess of Beauty — Ishtar.

Though her chamber towered above all other buildings in the Entertainment District, she remained unsatisfied.

Her gaze fixed on the distant white tower that pierced the clouds, feeling the weight of that cold stare looking down upon her. Anger ignited in Ishtar's heart.

"Why are you the one who rules?! We're both Goddesses of Beauty, so why you and not me?"

"How irritating! So irritating! How dare you look down on me from up there!"

Ishtar glared viciously at the tower's highest floor, fantasizing about dragging her rival down from the clouds, making her kneel and beg for mercy.

As she contemplated the important plan her Familia would soon execute, her anger gradually subsided.

"Soon, very soon. I'll drag you down from there! Just you wait, Freya!"

With these thoughts, she reclined on the sofa and lifted her smoking pipe. Amid the curling smoke, she drifted into her fantasies.

But this pleasant moment lasted only minutes before being interrupted.

"Lady Ishtar, Aisha has something to report." A Familia member called from outside the door.

"Aisha?" Ishtar paused at the name.

Her previous musings had already brought to mind this Familia member who had destroyed the Killing Stone.

Though she had punished Aisha, ensuring she could never again disobey orders, Ishtar hadn't forgotten this popular member who had hindered her plans against Freya.

"Enter." Ishtar commanded coldly.

Like her Familia's "toad" Captain, Phryne Jamil, she held little fondness for Aisha. No deity favored members who acted independently and disobeyed orders — this held true across all Familias.

Aisha entered. Seeing Ishtar seated regally on the sofa, she dropped to one knee, keeping her head bowed to avoid meeting her deity's eyes.

"Why aren't you attending to guests? Has something happened?"

"Yes, Lady Ishtar, I have something to report."

"Speak."

"The Hero requests an audience."

Aisha was clever. She withheld Adam's reason for seeking the audience, deliberately creating an information gap while piquing the Goddess's interest.

Their daily interactions had given her perfect insight into the Goddess's thinking.

And just as she anticipated, Ishtar was stunned by this unexpected name.

"You mean The Hero Adam Carter?" Losing her queenly composure, Ishtar leaped from the sofa, "Are you certain? It's truly him?"

"Yes, Lady Ishtar, I'm certain it's him." Aisha maintained her kneeling position, head bowed in apparent respect — though truly to hide her triumphant expression.

"Where is he?"

"In the Familia hall."

"Take me to him!" Ishtar strode past Aisha, heading straight for the Familia's main hall without a backward glance.

"Yes, Lady Ishtar." Aisha's smile widened.

When Ishtar arrived at the hall, she found most of the Familia members enthusiastically clustered around a man.

"All of you, step aside!" With divine authority, Ishtar dispersed the crowd, revealing the man's features.

It really was the 『 Hero 』!

Not just for his distinctive white cloak — Adam's appearance had become well-known throughout Orario after he destroyed the Apollo Familia.

"So it really is you!"

"Pleased to meet you, Lady Ishtar."

When that authoritative voice rang from the high floor and dispersed the beautiful women around him, Adam knew Ishtar had arrived.

He looked at her. Her purple-black hair gleamed under the magic stone lamps.

She wore seductively thin garments that barely covered her alluring figure — just enough to conceal the essential parts. Full breasts, swaying hips, long slender legs. Vast expanses of skin lay exposed, adorned with glittering silver ornaments and a smoking pipe.

Her appearance evoked an ancient Egyptian queen. Her very being embodied Beauty itself. Her stance and contemptuous gaze alone held enough charm to overwhelm anyone's consciousness.

But it was useless. To Adam, her charms had no effect. Having drunk Ambrosia that greatly strengthened his will, he wouldn't succumb even to Freya's direct gaze — much less to Ishtar, who stood a tier below the other Goddess of Beauty.

"I am Adam—"

"I know!"

As he tried to introduce himself, Ishtar, with her queenly nature, cut him off forcefully, determined to maintain control.

"Hero Adam, I hear you wanted to see me. What, have you fallen for my beauty?" Her words dripped with narcissism.

But as a Goddess of Beauty, she had earned that right. When mortals of the lower world beheld her, they were almost always conquered, their very bones turning to jelly as they knelt at her feet, begging for a touch of her affection.

Sometimes, she would even grace the more appealing mortals with her attention.

At this moment, she thought: If the 『 Hero 』 were to fall at her feet, wouldn't that prove her triumph over that high-and-mighty Freya?

But she remained ignorant of the grave situation unfolding.

When Freya discovered Adam had gone to see Ishtar, she flew into a rage and dispatched her Familia's strongest members to destroy the entire Ishtar Familia, determined to erase that weak Goddess from the lower world forever.

"No, while Lady Ishtar is beautiful, I'm afraid I have no such intentions."

"Eh?" Hearing his straightforward rejection, Ishtar froze in stunned silence before rage consumed her.

She was humiliated! She — a Goddess of Beauty!

Adam's words had struck deep at her pride.

"What did you say—?!" As she spoke, Ishtar unleashed her magic eyes, attempting to enchant Adam by force.

She was a Goddess of Beauty!

It was impossible for anyone to resist her beauty! Or so she had always believed — until today, until Adam appeared.

"It's useless, Lady Ishtar. I cannot be charmed." Adam stated simply.

Never before had this happened! Even deities would submit completely to her charms!

Very well! Let's see if this 『 Hero 』 can resist a deity's seduction!

Then, Ishtar shed her garments, revealing her towering peaks, willowy waist, and long graceful legs.

With enchanting movements, her face flushed with desire as she approached Adam. She reached out with delicate fingers to caress his cheek, her sweet perfume filling the space between them with irresistible allure.

She would capture the 『 Hero 』!
