In the garden under the moonlight, Luo Ya Akat felt the warmth in his arms. His heart was filled with the warmth of a family member. The flowers in the garden bloomed under the moonlight. They bloomed around the two of them as if they were celebrating their reunion after so many years in their own way.
The day of the King's birth wasn't very important to Luo Ya, but if the Mother Goddess who always cared about him was happy, the black-haired boy didn't mind celebrating another birthday.
"Yes, I thought it would be better for you to appear on this day. It can be a surprise. Also … after you defeated the Savior in the last war, the future has changed. The ending is basically decided. It's time to make some preparations."
Hearing the words of the Mother Goddess, the black-haired boy blinked slightly. For a moment, he didn't know what the Mother Goddess was talking about.
Thinking of this, the boy looked at the Mother Goddess with some doubts. And as if she understood Luo Ya's confusion, the silver-haired woman showed a doting smile on her face.
“！”m.
"Mother, what do you mean …"
"No, wait, this is too sudden …"
Stroking the cheek of her favorite child, the silver-haired woman smiled.
"Mother Goddess …"
"Purpose? Isn't it to help my body recover even more … Ah, could it be … "
"Yes, although the main purpose is to let your body recover better, I can think of other ways without their help. My real purpose is to let you get in touch with them."
Hearing the Mother Goddess's answer, Luo Ya showed a bitter smile. Since they met, this was the first time he felt the Mother Goddess's careful thoughts and means.
As for how to appreciate it?
"With this kind of relationship, they will spontaneously support you to maximize the benefits of the relationship exchanged with the treasure of their race. In addition to your original merits and the reputation of the King's Selection, inheriting my position won't be as difficult as imagined."
The silver-haired woman said so. She carefully planned a route for Luo Ya. Her red eyes were filled with expectations for the future. However, seeing the Mother Goddess like this, the black-haired boy fell into silence. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
Recalling the situation outside the historical fragment, the black-haired boy's heart suddenly became heavy. And the Mother Goddess who looked at Luo Ya naturally noticed this. Her expression also became nervous.
"Eh? No, no, I'm fine. "
Hearing Luo Ya's answer, Mother Goddess heaved a sigh of relief. She wanted to ask why Luo Ya had such a heavy expression, but before she could speak, the black-haired boy spoke first as if he was trying to hide something.
"Hmm? Is that so? "
"Hehe, perhaps that's the case. After all … Whenever I think about how this kind of life can continue, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart."
Looking at the Mother, the black-haired boy's eyes widened as he felt pain in his heart. On the other side, the silver-haired woman couldn't know what Roja was thinking. She recalled the past with a sad smile on her face.
"No, Mother. All of this happened because I was deceived …"
“.....”
"Mother was wrong in the past. It's a miracle that you're able to return to my side. But although the past can't be changed, I'm willing to use the future to make up for it."
"Yep, I'm no longer Xi Ya. It's time to pay back what I owed you in the past. In the future, I won't pretend to forget your birthdays. I'll spend them with you just like I am now. When you're busy with work and exhausted, I won't ignore you anymore. Instead, I'll encourage you just like I do now."
The silver-haired woman's crimson eyes gradually lit up as she spoke. And as she described, Luo Ya also vaguely saw a dream-like scene.
"… If only it could come true."
And for Luo Ya, reality was even crueler.
Thinking of this, Luo Ya closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The bitterness in his heart was somewhat unbearable. Back then, he made the right choice to help the Mother Goddess. This was something that Luo Ya didn't think was wrong. But as usual in this world, the right choice often didn't bring about beautiful results.
Did she not like this topic?
"Luo Ya, actually, apart from your birthday, I brought you here for another reason."
"Yes, you should feel it as well. Something is missing in your body."
The black-haired young man said as he had a thought. The Mother Goddess nodded slightly in response.
Fusing was easy, but separating was difficult. It was just like how it was difficult to collect dye after it was poured into water. And without the source substance, Luo Ya's power would be greatly affected. But fortunately, the Mother Goddess was by his side, so everything could be resolved.
"Hmm?"
"M-Mother?"
“！”
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
The silver-haired woman shook her head and helplessly ended the topic of their apologies. She reached out her hand and touched her chest, while Luo Ya obediently stretched out his hands and waited.
"I see."
It was a miraculous creation that looked like a crystal, but it wasn't crystal clear. It exuded a dreamy brilliance, and the moment it appeared, Luo Ya's blood began to fluctuate violently. Even his soul seemed to have sensed it.
The moment the source substance entered his body, Luo Ya's heart surged with a strong sense of relief. His blood had found its core, and a part of his soul had also been replenished. But what the young man didn't expect was that at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
[The source substance recovery has been completed. Restarting after returning.]
【30,29,28.....】
Luo Ya, who was completely disrupted by the sudden countdown, panicked. He hurriedly raised his head and wanted to use the last of his time to say something to the Mother Goddess. But what he didn't expect was that the silver-haired woman covered her forehead with a bitter expression.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. I'll …"
"Wait … Who are you?"
Looking at the young man in front of her, the silver-haired woman slowly widened her eyes and asked such a question. Hearing the words of the Mother Goddess, Luo Ya's body suddenly stiffened, and then he immediately discovered the problem.
The black-haired young man who discovered the truth of the matter suddenly widened his eyes. For a moment, he stood still and didn't know what to do. Without the ability to substitute, the fact that Luo Ya didn't choose the King would be exposed. No matter how hard he struggled, there was nothing he could do. And the Mother Goddess had obviously discovered it.
Thinking of this, the young man suddenly felt exceptionally sad. He unwillingly clenched his fists, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little bitter. But what he didn't expect was that the next moment, the words of the Mother Goddess greatly shook his mind.
"Eh?"
This was the second time in his life that Luo Ya faced the pressure of the Mother Goddess. But unlike the first time, this time he was facing the pressure of an enemy. This also made Luo Ya clearly understand the power of the Mother Goddess for the first time.
An irresistible pressure descended, but this was not the end. Like a conditioned reflex, the Mother Goddess's left hand, which was shining with moonlight, swung down towards the boy. Her murderous intent was like a cold wind blowing past.
Facing such an attack, Luo Ya wasn't prepared. In the countdown, he could only use the [Crown] source substance to raise his hands with all his strength. The majestic cold air instantly exploded and turned into a frost shield.
“！”
"What am I doing …"
Looking at the young man whose eyes were red, the Mother Goddess's body suddenly began to tremble violently. Then, her voice trembled as she muttered to herself.
Looking at Luo Ya in front of her, the chaotic Mother Goddess revealed a painful expression and stepped back step by step. Her emotions became more and more unstable. Tears flowed down her red eyes as she looked at Luo Ya with eyes that seemed to be searching for something. Seeing the Mother Goddess like this, the black-haired young man couldn't hold back his emotions anymore.
The young man said with a choked voice. He removed all his defenses and reached out to the Mother Goddess. Seeing the young man like this, the Mother Goddess's emotions gradually stabilized as if miraculously.
After a moment of silence, the silver-haired woman murmured as if she had just woken up from a dream. She took a step forward and carefully reached out her hand. The distance between the two quickly shortened, but the moment their hands were about to touch, the ice-cold system prompt suddenly sounded again.
