Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough?

After assisting the goddess Lilith in wiping out the twelve celestial beings and unifying the fragmented human divine kingdom, Rhode watched her ascend to godhood before uninstalling the game. "This isn't how dating games are! I chose the path of helping her ascend to godhood because I wanted to nurture her, max out her affection, and then we could be together." "But the problem is, even if becoming a god wasn't an issue, she not only wouldn't let me be with her, but she also wouldn't let me find anyone else. What is she trying to do?" When Rhode, unable to understand the proud and aloof girl, actually traveled to the game's alternate world, [Elchia], returning to the moment they were initially imprisoned by the demonic witch villain, he understood he had to make a better choice to change the future—[Outer God Seed]: As an extraterrestrial being, you possess the divine seed to devour all gods, hiding among your followers. Looking at his awakened power, Rhode declared: "I will strive to become a god alone! Slay everything!" —The proud and aloof girl's eternal inner thought, "Next time I'll definitely say 'I love you,'" remained unspoken until her beloved's death. Therefore, when she returned to the moment she first met the boy, her heart seemed to stop. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... This time, I can't let you down again because I'm too cowardly. Hmm, it's my turn to stand tall..." "Wait, something's not right, Rhodes, Rhodes... He's so calm, what's going on?" Lilith was lost in thought. Everything was rewritten. Lilith, who was not favored, and those "cats who were once turned away" all went to the battlefield with memories in their hearts.
