Chapter 4224: God-Sin
"These cubs..."
Aili turned back into human form from the unicorn, pulling Xia De's sleeve and hiding behind him, both afraid of what just happened and feeling sad for these souls.
Xia De watched those souls. "Mother" devoured their flesh and blood to nurture her own children, and their souls hadn't been completely digested. Xia De tightened the hand held by Aili to comfort her, and afterward, he raised his other hand amidst a sigh:
"Door of Death."
The black crack was drawn by Xia De, and afterward, the red butterflies flying out from the twin sisters' hands guided those blank souls toward the place they should go. Vigo, who was still sobbing, also came to Xia De's side, wanting to apologize but not knowing what to say.
And after the souls of the victims all left, Xia De threw out his own Source of Fire to absorb that life force stained with whisper elements, only then did Grace and Helen pull on Xia De's other sleeve embarrassedly:
"Sir, sorry, just now..."
"It's okay, this is not your problem, this relic was too targeted this time. Vigo, you don't have to have any psychological burden either, this is not your fault. 【Alliance of the Son】..."
"So, the relic and the Virgin of the Infant have both disappeared, right? I don't understand what happened just now."
Vigo, who was still choking with sobs, asked. Compared to the red butterfly sisters, clearly she was more affected.
Xia De retracted the burning eyes floating in the air, and looked at the position where the black crack disappeared. His expression was not relaxed at all:
"It seems that the relic was trying to turn into something extraordinary just now, so it disappeared. Although not sure if it was a conceptual complete erasure, or just a long-term banishment, but the relic 'Mother' certainly won't appear here again, never again.
The Virgin of the Infant and 'Abomination' shouldn't have been completely erased. After all, they weren't the main bodies that appeared here just now. But even so, the damage they received at that moment should be far beyond the damage caused by the Great Witch of Time not long ago. I didn't expect that the Saint actually dared to do this."
"What exactly was it trying to do just now?"
Vigo asked while wiping her tears. She just couldn't control her tears at this moment. Aili saw her so haggard, so she also held Vigo's hand. Xia De said:
"I also don't know what exactly happened just now, but in short, the 【Alliance of the Son】's conspiracy here completely failed. This is indeed a good thing, but the lost lives cannot be retrieved, and 【Alliance of the Son】 didn't know where they got the Source of Fire. What I am more worried about is whether they felt more blasphemous power because of this matter. However, the other party suffering heavy losses is ultimately a good opportunity for us."
The relic's residual influence only had that life force that hadn't been fused by "Mother" and the departed souls, and all other traces related to the relic were erased. Vigo knew this relic and also tried to find the corpses of those missing children here, but they didn't find anything.
The whisper elements had dissipated, and this was just an abandoned building. And when Xia De and the others returned to the outside of the orphanage to meet with others, the battle outside had also ended. It wasn't that everyone defeated the 【Alliance of the Son】 Ringed Ringed Shushi, but that those people exploded into a group of golden light at a certain point in time.
Calculating the time, that is roughly the time point when "Mother" was erased.
Ajielina was a bit frightened, her spirit was a bit listless but she wasn't injured. Aili then went to comfort this friend of hers. Xia De let Grace and Helen go to notify Dorothy, but didn't meet Aili. Aili was sent by Danister to No. 6 St. Deran Plaza to look at that dragon egg, and she knew from Winnie that some things happened in Arcadia City, so she ran over to help.
No one told Aili the location of the orphanage, the little unicorn found this place relying on instinct, so she only appeared after the battle started.
Xia De first checked Ajielina's state simply, and informed everyone outside of the battle result, and asked about everyone's state at this time. Although he was still thinking about the "Virgin of the Infant" matter, he still noticed that Leixia and Dorothy had merged into one again.
Seeing Xia De looking at them, the merged girl shook her head lightly:
"Temporarily no way to separate, but wait a few minutes and we can return to our original state... It seems that every time after merging, wanting to separate must wait for a longer time. But this kind of problem only acts on the flesh, our souls are still independent, you don't need to worry about this point."
"How could I not worry."
Xia De's worry on his face became even more.
Grace and Helen hadn't left yet, so Xia De invited them to return to the Fragrant Mansion together to help confirm what exactly was the situation with Leixia and Dorothy.
The orphanage matter ended temporarily. Those children who were abducted hadn't woken up yet. Vigo then let her followers first send the children to a large mansion under her own name in the Lower City, waiting for the children to wake up and determine their state before sending them back. Afterward, it was notifying the Church of the situation here, letting the Church verify the list of children who couldn't return.
Because the accident location was very far from the urban area, the battle didn't cause a big disturbance, so the Church didn't notice the situation here. Xia De let Vigo and others go back first, and he and Aili stayed behind and went to check the situation inside the orphanage again.
The deceased children really couldn't come back. Xia De worried that there were other rooms in the orphanage detaining abducted children, but it seemed the children were all concentrated together and brought out by Ajielina.
However, during the exploration process, relying on Aili's intuition help, Xia De discovered traces of holding rituals in a secret room below the basement of the orphanage that was sealed off. The ritual site had already been destroyed, but judging from the traces, this should be the location where 【Alliance of the Son】 summoned "Mother" and gave it special enhancement.
"That kind of golden power on 'Abomination,' can it even enhance relics?"
Although "Abomination's" power was not strong yet, Xia De was very clear that if it were allowed to be born, the trouble brought by that thing would probably not be weaker than the "First Child." Fortunately, this accident caused it to suffer an indescribable heavy blow. Even though Xia De didn't see what happened at that moment, he dared to be sure that the other party should be in the weakest state at this moment.
"Abomination" was the name Xia De gave that thing, its essence was probably the polymer of power that the lunatics of 【Alliance of the Son】 excavated from the descendants of the God-descending body. That absolutely couldn't be the power of God, but its essence still transcended mortals...
"God-Sin."
The Outlander said this word in his hometown language in his heart, and Aili, who was checking the orphanage situation with Xia De, asked:
"Orphanage, why would there be a secret room?"
This secret room also looked like it had been there for some years, probably not excavated by 【Alliance of the Son】, just discovered and utilized by them. Xia De certainly didn't know the truth of the matter, but he could imagine that it absolutely wasn't a good thing.
"I don't know."
He could only answer Aili like this, Aili then nodded, and finally said in a low voice:
"Seal it up, leave. Revenge, must call me."
The little unicorn's mood didn't seem very good either. She was sent by Danister to No. 6 St. Deran Plaza to look at that dragon egg, and naturally didn't have classes this afternoon, but Xia De didn't let her stay in Arcadia City. Xia De took her and used the crystal shoe to return home, first informed Winnie that it was fine, afterward left Aili at home, and signaled Winnie to comfort this simple girl. The ice maid accepted this task.
When Xia De returned to the Fragrant Mansion alone, everyone who returned a step earlier had already returned to the mansion, and Leixia and Dorothy had also successfully separated. Leixia, although here temporarily, didn't want to go back immediately, but was asking about Ajielina's encounter in Vigo's study.
Vigo and Dorothy were also there. Although there was no evidence to show that Ajielina was an intentionally chosen target, it was an indisputable fact that she encountered an attack while in the Fragrant Mansion.
The atmosphere was slightly better than just now in the rain. Everyone saw Xia De return and all wanted to stand up, but Xia De signaled everyone to continue listening to Ajielina tell the story.
"Sir..."
Grace and Helen were also listening to Ajielina tell the story in the study. Xia De then beckoned to them, so the three left the study and went to Xia De's room.
"Their situation is a bit complex."
Helen in the black dress said, her expression also a bit worried:
"Their souls have no problem, or rather, precisely because their souls firmly believe they are independent, and have no desire to merge with the other party, the situation currently appearing in their bodies is not serious yet.
My sister and I's suggestion is, absolutely do not merge again for a period of time. Every merger makes them move from two people toward becoming one person. Even if their souls are independent, in the end, it is possible to become a one-body-two-soul appearance.
Sir, our guess is consistent with yours, the opening of the tenth chosen one's story led to the current situation. This actually isn't hard to understand, Dorothy and Leixia themselves have the potential to make all life in the world become a whole.
If all races became the same individual, even if they didn't actually promote the birth of any new life, the last life in the world, which is all life itself, can also be called the 'Final Child.'
Our view is, wait for the tenth chosen one's story to end, their bodies should have no problems. Of course,
"Our view is that once the story of the tenth Chosen One ends, there should be no problem with their bodies. Of course, it is best to find a way to influence the current fusion trend."
Hai Lun whispered:
"It's not just that they cannot fuse; my sister and I even want to suggest that they do not have direct contact for a period of time recently. Although this can only play a small role, it is at least better than doing nothing."
"I will tell Lei Lei Qianya and Duo Luo Qian this suggestion; they will understand. Then, besides not letting them get close to each other, is there anything else we can do?"
Xia De asked again. The power used by the Red Butterfly sisters had nothing to do with flesh and blood, but having walked from the Fifth Era, they knew much more than Xia De:
"Their fusion represents the world's will to save itself. Fate, soul, flesh and blood—every level of fusion points in the direction of 'uniting as one.' Before the end of the world truly arrives, I think similar situations will likely occur intermittently."
