Chapter 2711

"We cannot describe our guilt in words." Schiller looked at Yin Yin Lisha and said, "There is no doubt that Charles's actions deeply aggravated your pain, forcing you to face such a desperate fact for the second time. The damage to your spirit is irreparable."

"But I think perhaps we can compensate you for something. I'm not talking about money." Schiller looked at Yin Yin Lisha. His serious, even somewhat urgent gaze attracted Yin Yin Lisha's attention.

Yin Yin Lisha gradually stopped crying. She stared blankly at Schiller. Schiller took a deep breath and said, "Now, we have a child whose birth was not expected. He is very special, but perhaps he can compensate you."

Yin Yin Lisha appeared very confused, seemingly unable to understand what Schiller was saying at all. Schiller sighed gently, recalling a dream he had last night.

Schiller didn't usually dream. When he slept, he stayed in the Mind Tower. But there was no doubt that some existence that wanted to pull him into a dream had used a bit too much force, pulling the entire tower over.

The other party was clearly also startled by such a unique way of mental existence, but still politely invited Schiller out to talk. Fortunately, Greed hadn't gone to rest at the time, otherwise, there was no telling which Schiller would have been pulled over.

In the dream, Schiller saw a blurry figure. It was a female figure emitting a faint light. The moment one saw her, anyone would realize what the ultimate gentleness and maternal beauty in this world were like.

"Nice to meet you, Doctor." A soft voice came out. This figure floated in mid-air and said, "I'm sorry, I have to talk to you in this way because I cannot enter Peter Parker's dream. He is protected by a large web."

Schiller immediately realized what she was here to talk about, so he said, "The child in Gwen's belly is your doing?"

"I am not playing tricks." The other party didn't sound like she was defending herself. She just continued to use that deep, gentle tone, "This child must be born, and I hope there are parents strong enough to protect him, so I chose Spider-Man."

"Why must he be born?" Schiller asked.

"Because another child was born." The voice replied, "He might bring disaster to the Earth and the universe, so there must be a prophesied child of destiny to resolve this kind of disaster."

Schiller made a stop gesture. Although he had already guessed, he still said, "Tell me who you are first."

"My name is Gaea."

"Who is the child who might bring disaster?"

"Wanda the Scarlet Witch's eldest son, the little boy named Billy, as well as his brother. Both of them are."

"Why would they bring disaster?"

Gaea was uncharacteristically silent. She said, "I don't know if you have heard of the Lords of Chaos, but you must have heard of Chthon."

"You mean this child is Chthon's child?"

"No, Chthon failed to intervene. That is the only bad news." Gaea said, "If this were Chthon's child, then there would be a solution on its own, and I wouldn't need to take action. But they are not."

Schiller frowned. From Gaea's vague description, he realized something. He said, "So these two children must have something to do with Chaos Magic. It's just that the Wanda of our universe stopped Chthon, so someone else related to Chaos Magic intervened in the birth of these two children."

Gaea nodded gently and said, "Roughly so. What's worse is that this existence called the Lord of Chaos is even harder to deal with than Chthon. The gods on Earth cannot directly take action against him, so we can only use the laws."

Schiller pointed directly to the key to the problem, "Is the Lord of Chaos evil?"

"No, he is just one of the rules of the universe. You can understand it as the universe itself being a balance. The Lord of Chaos and the King of Order occupy one side each. No matter which side's weight is heavier, the other side must add weight."

"So now that an infant representing powerful Chaos power is born, there must be a child representing Order power born, right?"

Gaea nodded again and said, "It seems I found the right person. You can understand the rules of this universe's operation better than I imagined. The few I found before were either shouting to eliminate these gods or simply couldn't understand what I was saying."

Schiller actually thought deeper than he expressed. Before, he had discovered that the Scarlet Witch of their universe was much stronger than those in other universes, almost qualifying as the spokesperson for Chaos power in this universe. It was even possible that it wasn't entirely this single universe; Wanda very likely absorbed Chaos power from other universes in the multiverse, otherwise, it would be hard to explain why she was so powerful.

For such an existence, giving birth has a very special meaning. The children they give birth to cannot be ordinary people. And if the Chaos power Wanda possesses exceeds the limit that a single universe can accommodate, then the excess part might appear in her children.

But no matter where it is transferred, more is more. This imbalance of Yin and Yang is very likely to cause problems in the universe, making it gradually unstable. This instability is at the origin of the universe and is very difficult to solve. Even if Wanda sends the power back, it might leave hidden dangers.

Schiller recalled the crying of Wanda's eldest son before. This ability to cause chaos indiscriminately might be the manifestation of Chaos power, carrying obvious rule-based power, and cannot be simply regarded as a mutant ability.

Then the only solution is to let Chaos and Order return to balance. It seems this is Gaea's purpose.

Gaea is the Mother Earth, representing pure goodness in the vast majority of myths. In Marvel, she is one of the Earth's Elder Gods, basically playing the role of justice. That she can foresee the danger in advance and find a way to solve it also shows that she is not a bad person.

But this method is very problematic. Peter is Schiller's student and has a close relationship with him, so Schiller is also unwilling to persuade Peter to accept this child from the perspective of the big picture. This is also unfair to Gwen.

In general, a child born unexpectedly, a child who has to be born for a certain mission, his life is a tragedy from the moment of birth. Schiller doesn't want to create such a tragedy and has no need to, so he said.

"I understand the logic, but Gwen can't do it."

Gaea frowned.

They had a secret talk for almost the entire night.

Schiller carefully observed Yin Yin Lisha's expression and found that when mentioning the child, her emotions were very complex. He understood that all his previous speculations were correct.

In psychology, the growth environment of a large family versus a small family has a great influence on a person's personality. Large families are often livelier, conducive to early socialization, allowing people to master more social skills and understand how to survive in a collective. However, it is inevitable that they will be neglected, experiencing the disappointment of social failure too early, which may also affect the development of autonomous consciousness, leading to placing too much importance on social factors in one's life and causing depression when social interaction is lacking.

Socialization in small families is difficult to do. One child and two parents are clearly not enough to build an equal collective, and children naturally cannot learn much from it. But small families are often more tolerant, and children can get enough attention, which is conducive to developing the self, but occasionally they also have an excess of self-consciousness.

Yin Yin Lisha is a typical middle child in a large family. Middle children are often the ones who receive the least attention, which means she may not have developed enough of a self and is eager to establish connections with others. This is her means of stabilizing her inner core.

After marrying Aux, her connection with Aux was the key to her stability. But marriage is only a legal connection after all, and emotional relationships are also ethereal. Yin Yin Lisha was eager to have a real connection with Aux, which was a child.

In her view, having a small family where she could pour all her attention could perfectly make up for the regret of being neglected in her childhood and the lack of establishment of self-personality traits, so she projected too much attention onto the child.

There are many people whose children are found to have problems during prenatal checkups, and the situation of the child in Yin Yin Lisha's belly was always unstable. It cannot be said that it had nothing to do with the mother's emotions, but Yin Yin Lisha herself couldn't perceive it, and the vast majority of ordinary people couldn't connect emotional states with the child's state, only regarding the child's state as a simple physiological problem.

But in fact, pregnancy is the process that best reflects the exquisite nature of human body structure. Neither the body nor the spirit can be missing any link. And if one cannot realize this, one will only fall into the kind of confusion Yin Yin Lisha is in. Everything in life is well-arranged, yet things still slide toward an irredeemable abyss.

Yin Yin Lisha's child really couldn't be resurrected. Even if one went to queue up at Death's place now, one would have to wait at least three or four years. The baby's soul is very light, and by that time, it would have long since dissipated.

But Yin Yin Lisha was still looking forward to the birth of the child. Schiller saw this from her state. However, Schiller received some bad news from the Presbyterian Hospital: the last delivery caused too much damage to Yin Yin Lisha's body, and she might not be able to get pregnant in the normal way again.

Out of humanitarian spirit, Schiller didn't tell Yin Yin Lisha this fact immediately. He chose to guide Yin Yin Lisha to gain hope first.

"Are you saying I can adopt a child?" Yin Yin Lisha looked at him and said, "But Aux and I don't meet the conditions, and we both want to have a child with our blood flowing in them."

"Yes, of course, so what we are referring to is not the conventional adoption conditions." Schiller said, "Since you know there are superpowers in this world that can modify others' memories at will, you should understand that there are many things hidden beneath the ordinary world."

"Like aliens?" Yin Yin Lisha said, "I saw aliens. They were driving a flying saucer like a mushroom, and it stopped in my backyard..."

Schiller couldn't investigate whether what Yin Yin Lisha said was a hallucination now, but he knew this wasn't the point, so he said, "Yes, aliens certainly exist. Haven't you seen the news reports? Asgardians are aliens."

"That's not what I meant..."

"I know. What I mean is, with the development of technology and magic, it's not necessary to use traditional means to get pregnant. Now there is a child whose birth was not expected who has been born in the wrong place. If you are willing, this can also become your child."

Yin Yin Lisha was still a bit confused, but she grasped the key. She said, "Are you talking about a fetus? Is there really such technology now? Putting a fetus into another person's body, what about the blood relationship then?"

"That depends on who lights the fire for his soul." Schiller stated the theory he had already investigated. He said, "Now the soul's fire hasn't been lit yet because the chosen parents have no expectations at all. But if it were you and Aux, then this would be your and his child, possessing the blood of both of you."

"Can we even do a paternity test?"

"Of course." Schiller nodded. He was about 90% sure about this. He said, "And this child won't cause any damage to your body like an ordinary child. He doesn't live on the mother's nutrition. However, I still have to remind you that the damage of delivery is unavoidable. This is a catastrophe for any woman, so whether you want to or not is still up to you..."

Schiller felt his arm being grabbed suddenly. Yin Yin Lisha stared at him and said, "I can't get pregnant again, right?"

Schiller nodded in silence.

Yin Yin Lisha showed a panicked expression and said, "I know, I knew it. But Aux wants a little daughter so much, and so do I... What should I do?"
