The folks of Waverith were now awake from the dream the festival had been, realizing that reality hadn’t disappeared and that routine was waiting for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was always hard to start again after a break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, no choice was given. So they pushed themselves up, cursing a few times, some complaining about a lack of money, others about aching backs, and others still wishing life was a never-ending festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, wishes didn’t make the gods move. And if they did, one would come to regret having obtained their attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added to these news was the departure of Inara. She went back, leaving behind a small letter for Kaden made of her own flesh, as a reminder of their promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden found it quite a sight. Touching the letter felt like touching Inara herself, and he shook his head wryly, realizing the deeper intention behind such an act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He accepted it gladly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden had also thought of something for Inara. He remembered that the Snake Princess had complained about urgently needing a staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had chuckled at the time, asking why she would need such a thing. Her answer made him bark an even more outrageous laugh, though he gave it to her nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why else? I need to correct these damn monsters. They are so fucking unruly!\" she spat with irritation, explaining to him how difficult it was to raise children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inara didn’t stop there. Taking the opportunity, she gave Kaden a snarky smile, approaching him openly under the eyes of passing pedestrians and whispering into his ear words Kaden would never forget,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, Hero, I am already well experienced in raising children,\" she had murmured, sounding like a succubus seeking to swallow his whole essence. \"So you can be sure I will raise our children perfectly. Don’t you want to try? You won’t regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden had coughed so hard that his breathing came out shallow and ragged, staring at Inara in absolute shock, his face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cackled like a madwoman, using an artifact to immortalize Kaden’s expression at that exact instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden saw it, blinked in confusion, and immediately tried to snatch it back. He failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mother of Monsters ran — no, she slithered like a hissing snake — then tucked the artifact between the swell of her breasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Kaden staring at her, eyes wide, her flesh ruptured outward grotesquely, swallowing the artifact inside her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, Kaden truly learned how much of a monster Inara was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to that night, Prometheus— now walking through the red corridors of his house — couldn’t help but purse his lips in silent disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Inara is truly something,’ he thought, sparing the soldiers and servants a curt smile and nod whenever they bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His black boots clacked softly against the crimson-shrouded floor, almost like a gentle whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She is different from Meris and Vaela. More unhinged. More crude.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being with Inara was different compared to being with Meris or Vaela.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris was a romantic at heart. Her every act was sweet and gentle, always intending to please him above all else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaela was somewhat similar, but she was shy despite being far older than him. Taking her role as a sugar mommy seriously, she never missed an opportunity to pamper him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inara...Inarawas different. She was the type to cuss at him, punch him if he said something she didn’t like, or openly banter and mock him without restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe that was why he had only ever looked at her as a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, each of them was unique in their own way, and Kaden found himself growing fond of them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked rapidly, sensing the difference in texture beneath his boots, which pulled him back into the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inara had gone back to Fokay, ready to face her own ordeals. Kaden hadn’t wished her good luck; for some reason, he felt he shouldn’t say such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he wished her courage in her endeavors. Inara seemed to like those words, nodding with a grin before blowing him a kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was his turn to go. Two years had passed, more than enough time for respite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris had been informed of his decision and was ready to leave today as well, though they would emerge in entirely different locations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prometheus suddenly halted, his boots scraping against cold, hard stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him was...nothing. Or rather, a whirling black void, oval in shape, deep and terrifying, sucking everything around it like a dozen hungry beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had walked in a haze all this time. Now Kaden stood in a deserted corner of the Red House. Nothing remained there except the black mass of the void, tendrils of shadow creeping from its edges like grasping tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kaden’s crimson eyes stared deep into it, he began to discern the outline of an ebony spear, pulsing and shivering ceaselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Origin of his mother,Nixie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oho! Isn’t this my favorite nephew! Have you come to meet your favorite aunt?\" Nixie’s voice echoed, causing the void to pulse even more violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden rolled his eyes. \"Move aside. I need to say my goodbye to Mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know the deal!\" she barked with ferocious laughter. \"And you also know I won’t settle for anything less than that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden’s lips twitched. \"Why?\" he said irritably. \"Don’t you have anything better to do than bother me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I?\" Nixie echoed, sounding as if she were tilting her head. \"I certainly don’t! That silent girl Daela is boring. That muscle-headed Dain is just like his father, I might be the one getting bullied if I poke him too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you admit you’re bullying me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t focus on useless details. The point is, my dear nephew, you are the only one left. So come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void fragmented, its pieces swirling mesmerizingly before gathering together again, forming the shape of a black-skinned woman clad in an ebony dress woven from condensed nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nixie smiled at Kaden, spreading her arms wide like an inviting mother, her full black eyes locked onto his crimson ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come give Auntie a hug and a kiss!\" she squealed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden sighed, exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He regretted every morning the day he had pestered his mother into showing him her Origin weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her understanding and power, Nixie was capable of manifesting in the physical world alongside her weapon form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Reditha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this void weapon, for some unfathomable reason, always wanted to hug him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing, knowing resistance was futile, Kaden stepped forward and hugged Nixie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter closed her eyes in euphoria, embracing Prometheus even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will miss you, nephew,\" she moaned. \"I will miss smelling such a pure scent of void on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes,\" Kaden said, cutting the hug short before stepping deeper into the Void Gate. \"I have heard this from you too many times. Now move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nixie grabbed his neck with hands tipped with sharp nails. Kaden halted and cursed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You forgot the kiss,\" she said, twisting his body so he faced her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, she lowered her head, pointing at her right cheek with a finger while smiling widely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want a smoochy kiss today, nephew.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The urge to land an uppercut on that cheek flashed through Kaden’s mind, but he suppressed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, far too reluctantly, he kissed her on the cheek. The Spear finally allowed him to pass, all while declaring how he was her favorite among all the Warborn offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden only clicked his tongue before passing through the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like slipping through a thin film of reality as he entered a space where only void existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, he saw his mother, standing in her battle dress, looking at him with a smile on her stunning face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mind her,\" Serena said with a chuckle. \"She truly loves you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" Kaden answered as he walked toward her. \"She’s just pushy and clingy. Just like a certain girl I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you don’t like those types of girls, my baby?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why are you smiling?\" Serena laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden paused, raising a hand to touch the corner of his lips, only now realizing that he was indeed smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face flushed red instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing such a scene, Serena appeared in front of him in a heartbeat, pulling his head against her chest in a warm embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so sudden that the breath was knocked out of his lungs for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My baby is so cute!\" she squealed. \"I will miss you so much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden tried to nod, but it was impossible with how tightly his mother was hugging him. Even speaking proved futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he projected his intent and spoke through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will miss you too, Mother,\" he said. \"I don’t know when I will come back...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice lowered, turning into a whisper of worry as he finished,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...will everything be fine for you?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena smiled gently. \"Are you worrying about us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She giggled. \"Don’t be, my baby. Your mother is not weak, and neither is your father. You can be assured that the Stronghold will stand firm no matter what.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only ask you one thing, Kaden,\" Serena continued, finally pulling back so they could face each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black void eyes met crimson, star-lit ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\" Kaden said, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come back,\" she smiled beautifully, her love unmistakable. \"No matter what, do everything you can to come back home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned forward, resting her forehead against his, closing her eyes tenderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you promise me that?\" she murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden exhaled softly, then smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" He closed his eyes as well. \"I can, Mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added with greater weight and determination,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will come back, Mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—End of Chapter 390—\u003C\u002Fp>",1661,"2026-06-03T10:53:47.503Z",1,"novelbin.me","8ad3036766eb06bfea30c5babbba2bef77d6c9754f22b2e5db8990a9ac560dca","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-391","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-389",481,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkilled-me-now-i-have-your-power-cover.jpg"]
