Chapter 392

Luo En immediately activated "Extraordinary Identification," and under the special vision, the "girl" in front of him immediately revealed her true face.

Countless tentacles as thin as hair were precisely woven into the shape of a human.

Each tentacle was performing complex coordinated movements at the microscopic level.

Inside flowed chaotic energy compressed to the extreme, like a liquid rainbow circulating within this fake body.

Maintaining this perfect human form was consuming Nari's immense source power.

He could even feel the pain brought to the other party by this huge consumption, like continuous bloodletting.

And in the corner of the palace hall, a special crystal container caught Luo En's attention.

It was a huge transparent container, inside which was sealed a tentacle with a somewhat familiar shape.

The surface of this tentacle was covered with dark red pollution spots, which was exactly the "Touch of Pollution" that had once hurt Luo En.

The surface of the container was engraved with dense repentant words, using the ancient Abyss language.

Each character was glowing slightly, telling of Nari's deep self-reproach for that accident.

The content of the words was roughly:

"Stupid Nari hurt her own child and should be punished eternally..."

"The evil tentacle is not worthy of touching pure existence again and should be sealed forever..."

"Only the child's forgiveness can cleanse the sin in mother's heart..."

Seeing these words, complex emotions surged in Luo En's heart.

Nari's self-reproach for that accident was far deeper than he had imagined.

"Mother." He said softly, while slowly walking toward a shadowy corner of the palace.

Under the vision of "Extraordinary Identification," he could clearly see several huge tentacles there.

They were hiding carefully, as if afraid of scaring him.

"You don't need to force yourself like this."

Luo En's voice was gentle but firm, while he reached out and gently stroked the surface of one of the tentacles.

The tentacle skin gave a warm touch, with a texture like the highest quality silk, densely covered with eyes flickering like gems.

These eyes trembled under his touch, filled with apprehension and longing.

"I have never felt fear or disgust because of your appearance."

He continued, his voice carrying a certain reassuring firmness:

"Your true form is equally beautiful, but this beauty transcends ordinary human understanding.

Why bear such a painful burden just to cater to my so-called 'human prejudice'?"

The beautiful fake body began to tremble violently.

The countless tentacles woven into a human shape began to loosen, and a painful expression appeared on the beautiful face.

Nari's voice came from the fake body, carrying a crying tone:

"But... but mother is worried that you will be afraid, will feel disgusted... will leave because of mother's ugliness..."

Her voice trembled more and more:

"Mother knows she is a monster... a terrifying Abyss alien. If I don't disguise myself as the way you humans like, would you still be willing to stay by mother's side?"

"Why would I? Would I leave you because of that?"

Luo En gently interrupted her self-denial, while increasing the stroking action of his hand:

"If I were such a superficial person, judging the value of an existence solely by appearance, how could I be worthy of your deep love?"

He paused, his voice becoming more serious:

"Mother, do you think I am the kind of stupid person who would be deceived by appearances?

Do you think I wouldn't see that every detail of this palace is poured with your heart and blood?

Do you think I wouldn't feel the huge effort you made to make me comfortable?"

Luo En's words nourished Nari's dry heart like sweet dew.

The outline of the fake body began to blur, and those precisely woven tentacles began to unravel their complex structures.

"True beauty never lies in conforming to a fixed standard."

He continued, while more actively contacting those tentacles hidden in the shadows:

"But in that sincere heart, in that pure emotion of being willing to give everything for the person you cherish.

In my opinion, no beauty of appearance can be compared with your heart."

"Child..." Nari's voice was almost melting: "Do you... do you really think so?"

"Of course." Luo En's answer was without hesitation:

"And, I want to tell you a secret—I actually prefer to see the true posture you once showed.

That ancient, powerful sense of existence that transcends ordinary understanding is the truly awe-inspiring beauty."

Under Luo En's insistence, Nari finally gave up the effort to maintain the fake body.

The beautiful girl image slowly dissipated like morning mist, turning into countless light spots and re-integrating into the architectural structure of the palace.

Replacing it was that huge and ancient true existence.

Countless tentacles extended from every corner of the palace, each with different forms and functions.

Some tentacles were as thin as ribbons, with surfaces covered with beautiful patterns like scales;

Some tentacles were as thick as ancient trees, with glowing organs and sensory endings growing on them;

And some tentacles were in a semi-transparent state, with energy flows as splendid as the Milky Way flowing inside.

Hundreds of eyes of different sizes slowly turned to Luo En, each pair of eyes having different colors and charm.

But at this moment, all the eyes were filled with the same emotion—apprehension, expectation, and cautious hope.

"Do you... do you really not hate mother's true appearance?"

The voice carried a slight tremor, as nervous as a girl facing her beloved for the first time:

"Ugly, terrifying, frightening monster..."

"No." Luo En firmly interrupted her self-deprecation:

"This is a powerful, ancient, beautiful existence, the 'Eye of the Abyss' that can make all creatures in the Abyss submit."

He did not retreat, but actively walked closer, opening his arms to gently stroke those tentacles:

"I am proud to be your child, and happy to have received your love."

Nari's emotions surged like a tsunami.

She carefully surrounded Luo En with the softest, most harmless tentacles.

The force was as light as a feather brushing against a breeze, for fear of causing any harm to him.

"My child... my true child..."

Her voice carried uncontrollable joy and satisfaction:

"Mother has waited for so long, waited for thousands of years... just to hear such words..."

Countless eyes secreted crystal clear liquid at the same time, which was the crystallization of pure happiness.

"Now..." Luo En said with a chuckle:

"Can you show me the surprise you prepared for me? I think you must have put in a huge effort for this."

"Of course! Of course!"

Nari's voice immediately became excited, and all the eyes flickered with excited light:

"Mother has prepared many, many good things for you! Guaranteed to make you satisfied!"

Her tentacles began to swing rhythmically, and the palace structure underwent wonderful changes accordingly.

The original hall began to split and reorganize, rearranging like living building blocks.

The walls slid to both sides, revealing the huge space hidden behind.

"First, mother built the most perfect laboratory for you!"

Nari introduced proudly, several tentacles pointing to different areas:

"Everything mother could think of is here!"

Unfolding before Luo En's eyes was a laboratory facility of staggering scale.

The entire experimental area was divided into more than a dozen different functional blocks, each carefully designed for a specific research direction.
