Chapter 4223: Mother

The dragon scale amulet carried by Ajielina was triggered silently at this moment. The protective shield formed by the silver moonlight briefly fought for a breathing opportunity for Ajielina, but that amulet completely shattered after persisting for less than two seconds.

The gaze that didn't exist in reality continued to look at Ajielina's special soul. Amidst that gaze of hatred toward the entire world, Ajielina seemed to understand what the most chaotic existence was like.

But her own weak power was not enough to let Ajielina have an epiphany here at this moment. Fortunately, another light protected Ajielina.

That was a glowing water-blue gem.

The Sage-level relic 【Soul Gem】 had always been considered too dangerous by Leixia. Ajielina, although carrying this gift from Xia De with her, had never used it. And at this moment, without being triggered by anyone, the gem floated in front of Ajielina on its own. In the flow of water-blue light, the soul of a strange girl appeared in front of Ajielina, blocking that unknown existence's gaze for her.

"Soul Gem" was originally the product of the original pure soul of the holder after falling or changing in despair. What appeared at this moment was the soul of the previous holder. Ajielina didn't know her story, didn't know her past, but when the strange soul opened her arms and stood with her back to Ajielina to block the gaze for her, Ajielina vaguely felt the other party's determination to protect her sister through her own secret technique 【Chaos Heart Sound】.

Even after death, even if Ajielina was not her sister, this soul still appeared.

Five seconds later, cracks appeared on the surface of the water-blue gem. But this was already enough. Leixia and Dorothy, the girl after merging, had already arrived in front of the "Virgin of the Infant," touching the swaddle she was holding with her right hand that erased space.

The weird existence that had not yet been born tried its best to block the power of the chosen one, but it couldn't block it. And at the same time, Ajielina, who was holding that cracked gem, heard a shout in the rain:

"Unicorn Flying Kick!"

Soft light appeared in the rain one step earlier than the figure, and afterward, the pure white holy beast crashed into that dark area. At the same time as the hand of the one-half space-chosen one touched the swaddle, the fate-chosen one penetrated the body of the "Virgin of the Infant," completely washing away that dark area containing infinite malice.

"Isn't it a flying kick..."

Crack!

The Saint's body shattered, but accompanied by the crying sound coming from the swaddle that had already been torn by the twisted space, surging life force surged, and red light wrapped the fragments of the Saint's body and that swaddle and flew toward the dilapidated building in the orphanage.

"Source of Fire! Where did this come from again? Stop for me!"

Leixia · Dorothy reached out her hand wanting to solidify space, but the girl's body shook, the single body turned into two, and afterward merged again.

That fire light took this opportunity to rush into the top floor of the orphanage. Ajielina hurriedly ran over wanting to support her sisters, but after that moment of discomfort, they were already fine:

"That fire light just now was the Source of Fire. The Virgin of the Infant appearing again really had something to rely on. Aili, you go help Xia De's side, we will solve the things here first."

"Understood, Ajielina, pay attention to safety!"

The unicorn said to the little Princess, and afterward turned into a white light shadow and chased after that red light.

The girls who merged together patted Ajielina on the shoulder, and afterward went to help the witch's followers. The 【Alliance of the Son】 Ringed Ringed Shushi were still fighting with them. Ajielina looked worriedly toward the orphanage building in the rain, and also pursed her lips looking at the gem with cracks held by herself, and afterward went to check on the people who had just fainted because of the power of "Abomination."

On the top floor of the orphanage building, Xia De, Vigo, and Grace and Helen hadn't solved "Mother" yet, but it wasn't because they were entangled, but because time in the area where the relic was located appeared abnormal. In their perception, the battle had just begun.

"Mother's" main body was located in the largest bedroom of the orphanage. Its own power was not strong. Even though the characteristics shown this time were different from the original records, it didn't make it possess very strong combat power.

Its appearance was indeed a tall woman nearly two meters tall wearing a black robe. The strong maternal love and life force emanating from its body almost made Xia De feel that the other party was like a pregnant woman about to give birth.

In that room on the top floor of the orphanage, the missing children brought here had already disappeared. The life force emerging from "Mother" was enough to explain what it had done to those children.

No need for communication and no need for questioning, the moonlight tore its body apart, letting that solid figure turn into a group of indefinite shadows. And that shadow squirmed and turned into a human shape again. The reappearing figure wearing a lady's black suit made Vigo, who was originally angry and taking action, freeze in place:

"Mother?"

Peggy Lemay, who only existed in photos, appeared in front of Vigo. At that moment, even the eleven-ringed witch forgot she was fighting, and all the grievances erupted at this moment:

"Mother, why did you do these things? Did you marry Father because of love or because of your own purpose? What exactly did you treat me and sister Aurora as?"

She cried wanting to hug the figure in front of her, but was pulled by Xia De's arm:

"Grace, Helen!"

"Yes, sir!"

The red butterfly group flew forward, drowning the figure that had the appearance of a female alchemist. Even though she realized at this moment that it was just a phantom formed by the relic's characteristics, Vigo still continued to cry.

Xia De thought Helen and Grace would solve that relic. With the ability of a top-level Angel-level relic, solving this mutated Guardian-level relic should be no problem.

But amidst the flying butterflies, Grace and Helen suddenly revealed their figures, holding hands and also blankly looking at the woman walking out of the butterfly group. Xia De didn't know that gentle and beautiful woman, but he heard the voices of the twin sisters:

"Mother..."

【The more humanity, the deeper the longing, the easier it is to be affected. This has nothing to do with power. Or rather, if they were just simple relics, they wouldn't be affected at this moment. This relic, very interesting.】

"She" whispered in Xia De's ear. Xia De's mouth twitched, temporarily letting go of the sobbing Vigo, and afterward appeared in front of Grace and Helen instantly:

"I don't care what you are—Moonlight Slash!"

Grace and Helen, although stunned there, at least they didn't stop Xia De's attack. The holy silver moonlight thus slashed that figure again. The shield formed in front of it didn't even persist for a second before shattering.

After the figure shattered, it turned into black indefinite mist again. While countless female faces were floating and merging in that piece of mist, Xia De waved his right hand preparing to condense moon fire to release "Moonlight Ray."

But just at this time—

Boom!

The wall was directly smashed through from the outside, and red light flew into that piece of black mist. Afterward, that black mist instantly returned to the appearance of a woman nearly two meters tall. It was just that this time, there was an extra swaddle in its arms.

"Virgin of the Infant!"

Aili chased in from the wall breach and stopped beside Xia De. At this moment, that tall woman no longer wore a hood, revealing the face of the "Virgin of the Infant." It patted that swaddle lightly, and afterward merged the thing wrapped in the swaddle into its own body.

It looked up toward Xia De, with a loving and compassionate expression on its face. Xia De noticed its abdomen was slightly bulging, and that position even emitted red light.

"Source of Fire... You guys fused the Source of Fire with that thing that hasn't been born yet? Who provided you guys with the technology to manufacture the Source of Fire? You guys are trying to borrow 'Mother' to give birth to that thing that hasn't been born yet?"

Xia De asked, stopping Aili who was eager to try. That figure that actively merged with the relic then opened its arms toward Xia De, making a gesture of hugging, and the voice still belonged to the "Virgin of the Infant":

"I am not qualified to give birth to such a great thing, this is just an attempt. Every mother has the qualification to hug her own child, it is willing to borrow our help, and we are also willing to help this pitiful mother."

The tall figure was gradually deforming. The relic's characteristics let it try to turn into the mother of the young man in front. The Guardian-level relic combined with the terrifying power of 【Virgin of the Infant】 and "Abomination," it was no longer a simple relic, it could completely be called an evil thing named "Mother":

"And you, my child."

That figure said:

"Long time no see, throw yourself into my embrace again."

Xia De saw through its intention, he was actually also very curious about what image the other party would turn into. He was an orphan in his hometown, and after coming to this world, he was already in the appearance of an adult as soon as he woke up, so naturally, there was no "mother" by blood.

But the relic's power still anchored a figure. Under the vigilant gaze of Xia De, Aili, and the awakened Grace and Helen, the soft silver moonlight simulated by the relic's power briefly illuminated the dim room from the core position of that blurred figure, and afterward...

Even Grace and Helen, who were closest, didn't see clearly what exactly happened.

Time seemed to have a jump, or it was just simply that some kind of fundamental rule of the world appeared that no one could explain. But in Xia De's view afterward, this was more like that thing trying to deform triggered some kind of fundamental rule of the world.

It disappeared, whether it was the relic main body, "Virgin of the Infant," or "Abomination," all disappeared.

The space in front was terrifyingly empty, but not everything was erased. A large group of abnormal life force that hadn't been absorbed by that body was merging into this world, while the weak souls that hadn't been absorbed were blankly looking at this world that brought them a miserable fate. ===== CHAPTER 4224 =====
