In the garden under the moonlight, Roya Akate felt the warmth in his arms, and his heart was filled with the warmth that belonged to his family alone. The flowers in the garden were blooming in the moonlight, surrounding them in full bloom, as if with his own The way to celebrate the reunion after a lapse of many years.
Regaining the recognition of the child after losing all the looks and memories of the past is undoubtedly a miracle for the mother goddess, and it is also a happiness that could not be imagined in the past. On the other hand, the black-haired boy is because of the mother goddess. Happy and happy.
The birth date of the king is actually not very important to Roja, but if he always cares about his mother goddess being happy, then the black-haired boy doesn't mind having another birthday.
"Mother, is this also because of today's dinner?"
"Well, I think it would be better for you to appear on this day. It can be a surprise, and also... After you defeated the savior in the last war, the future direction has changed, and the ending is basically doomed. , It’s time to make some preparations."
"Hey?"
Hearing the words of the mother goddess, the black-haired boy blinked slightly, and for a moment he didn't know what the mother god was saying.
The ending of this war has basically been finalized, and Roja agrees with this point. After all, the mother god’s strength is above the savior. This time the latter was severely injured by Roja, plus the golden sign of choosing the king. , The victory of the mother god is actually a ten-year-old, but the so-called preparation is...
Thinking of this, the young man looked at the mother goddess with some doubts, and seemed to understand Luo Ya's confusion, and the silver-haired woman showed a petting smile on her face.
"Stupid boy, although the world will return to my rule after defeating the savior, isn't the mother's thing yours?"
"!" Remember m in one second. .
Looking at the mother goddess watching him lovingly, Luo Ya's eyes widened suddenly, and the next moment he couldn't help but ask back.
"Mother, do you mean..."
"Well, I will hand over the management of the world to you, if you do, it will be no problem."
"No, wait, this is a bit too sudden..."
"Suddenly? I don't think, after all, I never said that the inheritance plan will end. Just this time, in order to defeat that guy, your soul has been combined with the divine envoy. Although I don't know why there was no serious rejection, but That's perfect."
Stroking the cheek of her favorite child, the silver-haired woman smiled and said:
"You and Michelle are not acquainted with each other. If you are on the throne, he will definitely support it. However, people other than him are not familiar with you, so I chose to host the dinner at this time. Let you meet them more."
"Mother..."
"I told you before, in order to rebuild your body, I asked for a lot of secret treasures from various races. What do you think is my purpose?"
"The purpose? It's not to make my body recover more...Ah, can't it be said..."
Suddenly thinking of a possible Loya, he seemed to be aware of it, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at the mother god in front of him, and seeing this silver-haired woman with a rare sly smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, although the main purpose is to make your body recover better, I can think of other ways without their help. My real purpose is to get you in touch with them."
"Sure enough..."
Roja smiled bitterly when she heard the mother god’s answer, and felt the mother god’s careful thoughts and methods for the first time since the encounter.
Give Loya the treasure of race to help him better recover. This behavior is actually equivalent to investing in the teenager. With this cost expenditure, the nature of intelligent creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages is doomed Therefore, these people want this investment to appreciate rather than evaporate.
As for how to appreciate
That is naturally that Loya is stronger and has a higher status, even if it can take over the position of the mother god, and this is the result the mother god wants.
"With this kind of relationship, they will spontaneously support you to maximize the benefits of the relationship in exchange for the treasure of the race. Coupled with your original merits and reputation as the king, it is not imaginary to inherit my position. So difficult."
"..."
The silver-haired woman said so, carefully planning a route for Roja, her red eyes filled with hope for the future, but seeing such a mother goddess, the black-haired boy fell into silence. , I don’t know how to respond for a while.
The mother god’s imagination is undoubtedly beautiful. According to such a concept, both the mother god and the king will indeed get happiness, but it is a pity that it is different from here, the reality is cruel.
Recalling the situation outside the historical fragments, the black-haired boy suddenly became heavy, and the mother god who looked at Loya naturally noticed this, and his expression became tense.
"Roya, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Hey? No, no, I'm in good health."
"That's it, that's good."
The mother goddess who heard Roya's answer was relieved, and instead wanted to ask Roya the reason for his heavy expression, but before he could speak, the black-haired boy concealed something and opened his mouth in advance.
"Mother, you... seem to be looking forward to the future."
"Huh? Is that so?"
"Yes, with a happy expression."
"Hehe, it might be true, after all... I feel happy from the bottom of my heart when I think that this kind of life can go on forever."
"!"
Looking at the mother goddess who said this, the black-haired boy widened his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart. On the other side, the silver-haired woman who couldn't know Loya's thoughts recalled the past, with her face showing. A slightly sad smile.
"In the past, I was always hindered by the belief that all people should be treated equally, and restrained my feelings from being alienated from you. The result was that reality and my heart were completely opposite. I was obviously my favorite child, but I was alienated. The person who knows me the least, you will be on the side of the savior at first, but in the final analysis it is actually my fault."
"No, my mother, all this happened because I was deceived..."
"Which way do you think is wrong for children who can't find their mothers, and mothers who make them recognize that they can't do it?"
"..."
Hearing the mother god's rhetorical question, the black-haired boy fell into silence for a while, and the silver-white-haired woman shook her head, and reached out her hand to hug Loya again.
"It was my mother who was wrong in the past. It is a miracle to me that you can come back to me again, but although the past cannot be changed, I am willing to make up for it with the future."
"future?"
"Well, I am not Shia anymore. I should pay back what I owed you in the past. I will not pretend to forget on your birthday in the future. I will spend time with you like this, when you are busy with work. I will not ignore it anymore, but will encourage you as I do now."
"Every year from now on, my mother will be by your side. After the war, we can go to the bottom of the deep sea together, where I stored my first life, or go to the top of the mountain. In the past, I liked the scenery there best. ... ... "
The red eyes of the silver-haired woman gradually lit up with the words, and as she portrayed, Luo Ya's eyes also vaguely revealed a dreamlike scene.
Deep sea fish, blue sky, white clouds flowing above the empty grassland, no betrayal, no grief, everything is as beautiful as a picture, that is the scene that black-haired teenagers yearn for, but unfortunately, this is also Incomprehensible bubbles, flashing dreams.
"...If it can be achieved, it will be great."
The black-haired boy muttered to himself like this, and suddenly felt sad like Idavia in his heart. Now thinking about it, the petite evil god might not want to do something for the mother god, but in fear and fear. The beauty, fearing the feelings of contact with the mother god, because for those who will eventually leave, it will be the pain of gain and loss.
For Roja, the reality is even more cruel.
The historical fragments cannot change the reality, and the guilt of the ancestors will eventually continue to fall on him. Now he embraces himself and regards himself as the only mother, but after leaving here, he will turn into a mortal enemy who hates him.
Thinking of this, Roya closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The distress in his heart was a bit unbearable for a while. When he made the right choice to help the mother goddess, Roya didn’t think it was wrong until now, but it is just like the normal state of this world. Generally, the right choice does not always bring good results.
Trying to suppress the sorrow in his heart, the black-haired boy tried his best to maintain a smile on his face. However, he seemed to have noticed Loya's abnormality. The mother goddess who was portraying a bright future suddenly spoke and looked at the boy and blinked. .
Don't you like this topic
The woman who didn't know the complex feelings in the teenager's heart thought so. After thinking for a while, she decided to put aside the future in advance, instead focusing on the present and doing what must be done in advance.
"Roja, actually I brought you here, there is one more thing besides your birthday."
"Huh? Is there one more thing?"
"Yes, you should feel it too, what is missing in your body."
"... You mean, source quality?"
The black-haired boy moved in his heart as he said this, and the mother god nodded slightly when he heard the words.
In the previous battle with the savior, Roja’s soul was completely integrated with the [Crown] source of matter, pulling himself to the same level as the savior, Shia’s split body, but the relative cost was also extremely serious, the most obvious one. It is the disappearance of the source quality.
Fusion is easy, but separation is difficult, just like pour the dye into the water and it is difficult to collect, and without the source material, Roja’s power will also be greatly affected, but fortunately the mother god is by his side, everything is not. Can't solve it.
"During this period of time to treat you, I have separated the [Crown] elemental quality again, and now your soul state should be barely acceptable, and it is time to return it to you, but... There are some things I have to say in advance."
"Um?"
Looking at the mother goddess whose face suddenly became more serious when he said this, the black-haired boy blinked, and the next moment his cheek was suddenly pinched.
"Mother, my mother?"
"It is absolutely forbidden to do this in the future. If I'm not by your side, this time you will probably..."
"!"
Looking at the terrified mother goddess who was choked with speech, Luo Ya stopped struggling for a while and opened his eyes slightly, and apologized honestly after a moment.
"sorry that I had you worried."
"No, this time you are to save me... Forget it, let's not talk about these things, please stretch out your hand first."
Shaking his head helplessly put an end to the topic of mutual apology, the silver-haired woman stretched out her hand to her chest as she said so, while Luo Ya obediently stretched out her hands and waited.
"Because [Crown] Origin is part of the soul of my past, so this time I can be separated smoothly. This half-month sharing of bed is for this purpose."
"I see."
Luo Ya, who answered in this way, showed a dazed expression on his face, and the next moment a little light suddenly separated from the mother god's body, shining a hazy color in the night sky.
It was a magical creature like crystal but not crystal clear and transparent. It exuded a dreamlike brilliance. When it appeared, the blood in Loya's body began to fluctuate violently, and the soul also felt like waves.
Under the moonlight, a woman with silver-white hair stretched out her hand, just like thousands of years ago, giving the [crown] that represents the supreme strength and power to its owner, and the wafting brilliance fell into the palm of the black-haired boy, the next moment Melted into his body and disappeared.
When the essence entered the body, a strong sense of relief emerged in Roja's heart. Since then, the blood has found the center and a part of the soul has been supplemented. However, what the young man did not expect was that he was familiar with it at this time. Suddenly sounded.
【Ding】
[Essential recovery has been completed, return to start again]
"!"
-------------------------------------------------- -------
Under the moonlit night, when he heard the system prompt, the black-haired boy was dumbfounded. The next moment he suddenly looked at the system and found that he did not know when the 【Return Countdown】 had appeared under 【Evaluation】, and with the source The qualitative reappearance, the numbers in it also began to change.
【30,29,28... ...】
30 seconds? Are you kidding me, this is too short? Wait, I haven't...
Roja, who was completely disrupted by the sudden countdown, panicked, and hurriedly raised his head to say something to the mother god in the last time, but what he didn't expect was that he saw the silver hair color. The woman covered her forehead with a distressed expression.
"My mother?"
"It's okay, it's just a little dizzy, and in a while..."
The mother goddess who said this frowned, but a moment later, the silver-haired woman stared at Loya and said something he never expected.
"Wait...who are you?"
"Hey?"
Looking at the young man in front of him, the silver-haired woman slowly widened her eyes and asked such a question. When she heard the mother god’s words, Roja's body froze suddenly, and immediately discovered the problem. .
My existence is replaced, weakening? !
The black-haired boy who discovered the truth of the matter suddenly widened his eyes, and stood there for a while, not knowing what to do. Without the skill of Existence Replacement, the fact that Roja was not the king would be exposed, and no matter how hard he struggles, he will not be able to recover. , And the mother goddess, obviously has found out.
Unexpectedly, couldn't even finish the final farewell
The young man who was thinking about this suddenly felt extremely sad, his hands clenched unwillingly, his eyes were a little bit astringent, but what he didn't expect was that the next moment the mother god's words greatly shook his mind.
"You are, the son of that betrayer, what have you done to me!"
"Hey?"
When he heard these words, Luo Ya suddenly raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. However, before the boy could say anything, a strong pressure suddenly came.
That was the second time in his life that Luo Ya faced the coercion of the Mother God. However, unlike the first time when he first saw it, this time he faced the oppression of the enemy, and it also made Roja clearly aware of it for the first time. The power of the mother goddess.
Different from facing the savior, when the mother god’s coercion came, the world in Roja’s senses seemed to change, the sun, moon and stars no longer flashed, the space was completely stagnant, Roja’s entire body seemed to be filled with water. Lead cannot move a single minute.
The irresistible pressure came, but this was not the end. The attack like a conditioned reflex followed. The mother god’s left hand that was shining with moonlight had already waved down at the young man at some unknown time, and the awe-inspiring murderous intent was blowing like a cold wind. .
【15,14,13... ...】
Facing such an attack, Roja was unprepared. With the sound of the countdown, he could only raise his hands with all his strength under the eruption of [Crown] Primal Quality, and the majestic frost burst instantly, turning into a frosty shield.
"Mother... ... "
"!"
During this moment of offense and defense, the frustrated teenager subconsciously issued a nearly silent call, but what he didn't expect was that the silver-haired woman suddenly stopped at the moment the sound came out. After the action, the scarlet pupils made waves.
"What am I doing... ... "
"Hey?"
Looking at the boy with red eyes, the mother god's body suddenly began to shake violently, and then murmured in a trembling voice.
"No, that's not right, you are my child, my favorite child..."
Staring at Loya in front of him, the chaotic mother goddess showed pain and retreated step by step, her emotions became more and more unstable, her red eyes shed tears, and the eyes looking at Loya seemed to be looking for something, and saw this. Mother god, the feelings in the heart of the black-haired boy couldn't help it anymore.
"Mother, it's me, I didn't betray, and I didn't have it till the end! So, so..."
The choked boy said so, and stretched out his hand to the mother goddess after taking off the defense he used. It seemed miraculous to see such a boy, and the mother goddess' emotions gradually stabilized.
"...You are, Roja."
After a moment of silence, the silver-haired woman whispered as if she had first awakened from a dream. She stepped forward and carefully stretched out her hand. The distance between the two quickly shortened, but just when the two hands were about to touch each other. At that moment, the cold system beep suddenly sounded again.
【2,1,0... ...】
[Countdown ends]
[Return to start]
