He realized he hadn't been able to help Elizabeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he was trying to save her, but she would be forced to live for Eternity. If he was to believe Ava, Elizabeth would never die after consuming the Everwitch Violet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could use his Concept to 'kill' her. Though that didn't change the fact that he had failed to find a no-risk method for Elizabeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo bit his lips. He never succeeded. Every time when it counted, he failed to make a change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you alright, Miss Guardian Fairy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth held Neo's hand and squeezed it lightly after sensing his downcast mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled, trying to put up a front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've never been better than now, child,\" he said. \"Now, do you want me to save you? Or would you rather that I do not do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth didn't answer immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed to be in deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo was a bit surprised when he didn't sense malicious emotions from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you not angry at me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I tricked you. I told you I would save you, but now, I came to tell you that there is a condition attached. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn't change how I feel. I'm happy that Miss Guardian Fairy came to meet me again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, Neo was surprised to see her—the Tyrant—talk so innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if she would act the same in real life after he revealed he had been the 'Miss Guardian Fairy', not that he was planning to do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What… is Eternity?\" she asked after thinking about it for a long time. \"Is it something scary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eternity isn't scary or comforting. It's All-Consuming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo could've sugar-coated his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should've sugar-coated his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wanted Elizabeth to know what Eternity was. Receiving a 'yes' from her to save her wouldn't matter if he had to trick her by lying about Eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All-Consuming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you have a desire, you will find Eternity beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you have nothing left, no goal, no aspiration, Eternity will become a cage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why Eternity is All-Consuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have to keep giving it your goals to devour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as your mountain of goals doesn't end, Eternity will be a peaceful voyage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when your mountain of goals is completely devoured, and Eternity has nothing left to eat, it will turn to you and feast on you instead,\" Neo explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if his explanation was hard to understand for Elizabeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to live for Eternity, child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth thought about the answer. She fiddled with Neo's hand and pondered over his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a goal,\" she said. \"I want to live. To see happiness. To see what lies beyond the world I've been forced to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to meet my daughter and hug her. I want to meet Neo and thank him. I want to meet Master and tell her I was happy to have someone like her in my life, and…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lump seemed to have formed in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo waited for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to meet Clara and Paul and apologize to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't do anything—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wronged them,\" Elizabeth said, not waiting for Neo to speak. \"I trusted my decisions and believed my choices were the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought I had seen the cruelty of the world, and only by returning cruelty to it would they let my children and I live in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought absolute violence was the answer to all questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I forced my choices on my children and my people. It was my fault. That's why I need to apologize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Elizabeth's choice, and she had clearly put a lot of thought into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And after everything, I want to travel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Travel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master used to tell me that the world is vast and there are a lot of things to see, things that would amaze me, and maybe make me happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I couldn't do that before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was no time for it. I was the Queen of my country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I think I can do it now,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo froze when he heard her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Elizabeth wanted to travel, why hadn't she done that after she left her country and instead came to the Academy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did that for Neo and Amelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the beginning, Elizabeth only lived for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now was she starting to live for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have heard your choice, child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo patted her head and decided to return to the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before he disappeared, Elizabeth held his hand tightly and stopped him from leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will we meet again?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will always watch over you and protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had, of course, no intention of revealing he was the Guardian Fairy. Nobody liked to expose their true selves. He doubted Elizabeth would want him to see her past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That wasn't what I asked—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure broke into countless fragments of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth tried to grab them and stop him, but he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo opened his eyes with a groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did she say?\" Zera asked from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can use the Everwitch Violet,\" Neo answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know how to use it?\" Zera questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Somewhat,\" he replied honestly. \"I need to pull out the flower's essence and insert it into her. I don't know what to do after that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" Zera nodded. \"I don't know how to use the flower either. If Ava was here, maybe that could've changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you are alone in this now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the flower in his hand, and pulled it's essence out with his Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flower started to wilt while a purple mass of misty energy condensed in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-05-30T08:00:57.452Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b2a5c018b6a81d85777959e21314b592a9a92ef745b423399cd82b944790c3b","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-431","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-429",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
