Chapter 485 – Cause and Effect (4)
“Yes, as much as you want.”
After saying that, Lilith uncrossed her arms and approached me.
He reached out his hand and lightly pinched my cheek.
“I’ll help you in any amount.”
At that time, Ariad in my arms stirred.
“And, George Han. “There is something I want to say.”
“Huh.”
When I see Lilith, she shrugs and lets go of the hand that was pinching my cheek. I nodded to Lilith and looked at Ariad, who was holding me. I saw Ariad looking down at me and fidgeting.
“Ariad?”
But when I called Ariad like that out of curiosity, Ariad stopped squirming and opened her mouth.
“That… The tree that came over here now, right?”
I knew what you were talking about.
A huge tree trunk.
It refers to the tree under the control of the madman who pierced through Avalon, which was probably the biggest barrier and building in the world.
I also knew the identity of the tree.
The god that the madman served in that world when he was alive.
It was called the sacred tree and the world tree… A part of the huge tree that covered half of the world.
Perhaps, the dimension crash caused the madman to collide with his own ruined dimension.
Just like that… He wields with his divinity what was once a sacred tree that covered half of the world, burned to death in that dimension…
“…Huh?”
When I paused for a moment because I felt like I had heard something before.
Ariad spoke to me like that.
“I guess it’s that tree, my mother…”
Was it your mother-in-law?
Come to think of it, Ariad’s mother.
So, for me, my mother-in-law, World Tree, was right.
Wasn’t there something like that in my memory right now?
A spirit that my mother-in-law created by taking away half of her divinity to take care of places where her own roots and stems could not reach.
The spirit of the tree was, of course, a spirit.
In other words, it was referring to Ariad.
And, before facing its end, the seed that the tree gave birth to…
The world tree that was born from the germination of that seed is now the world tree that serves as Ariad’s main body, and the new seed that the world tree gave birth to germinated was the world tree that was planted in our yard.
“…There’s no way you wouldn’t know, right?”
“I guess so.”
There was no way that crazy earl wouldn’t know where Ariad, who had crossed into this world, was.
Ariad’s existence was kept quite secret.
Dryades’ Botanical Garden was a facility that was open to the public.
Since there was nothing nearby, there were almost no ordinary people who went there just to see a botanical garden.
Considering that Guinevere, who was one of the twenty-two council members and had access to various secrets, was also a liaison over there, there was no way she wouldn’t have known.
But the reason I left him alone was probably because one of his biggest goals was to make Ariad see what he was about to do.
It may be to show Ariad, the daughter born of the World Tree, the world’s burning tail once again for revenge.
Perhaps he was watching Ariad’s actions several times as he tried to prevent the destruction of this world by squeezing out the remaining divinity.
What was the madman thinking at that time?
In a completely different world.
What did he think when he saw Ariad sacrifice himself like that, even if he had to belittle his own divinity and become a mere spirit and a mere tree, in order to protect even those who had no connection with him?
Did they laugh?
Or, did he still hate it?
Only he would know that.
But, the most important thing is…
There was a high possibility that the location of Ariad’s true body had already been exposed.
Even if I left it alone for the sake of revenge, I don’t know how long it could continue.
From the beginning, he was a former forest keeper and a madman who had been reincarnated repeatedly for thousands of years while worshiping the World Tree.
You probably also know that Ariad can’t escape too far from the world tree…
In other words, if he was going to do something, it was clear that people who could do something like that to Ariad would come out.
So…
“…Xiao.”
“Hmm… I can’t help it. “I will take charge of Ariad’s protection.”
Dispersion of power was inevitable.
Xiao, one of the strongest forces in our house, decided to protect the World Tree in the Botanical Garden of Dryades, which is the equivalent of Ariad’s main body.
It wasn’t that Ariad was weak.
There was no way that the Great Spirit, who was once a godlike being, was weak.
Ariad was a being who was still capable of stretching and twisting time in her own domain.
However, it is also true that it is not suitable for battle, both in terms of personality and race.
For him, Xiao decided to head to Dryades’ Botanical Garden to prepare for enemies that might come after Ariad.
Also…
Just in case something happened, I also needed someone to guard the house.
Because there were many things we had to protect besides Ariad.
Except for Karura, Sati, Aileya, and Hongryun, who were judged to be out of power and would remain at home…
My children Luca and Liliana’s children.
Elves rescued from hell.
Many other people were my neighbors who were already living in my home.
“…Yeah, I guess I should take charge of this place.”
That’s why Justitia decided to stay and protect the house, or more precisely, everyone who was in a relationship with me.
And, the rest.
Lilith, Hoaran, and Carmina decided to come with me and stop the crazy ogre.
Also…
“…Can you still feel it?”
“Yes. You’ve weakened a lot… A lot, I’m sure. You’re alive. …But only some.”
I nodded at Ariad’s words.
These were none other than Ariad’s words.
In the first place, it was a great spirit born from a separated divinity. It was said that Ariad was alive.
The dimension crash caused by that guy.
The dimension connected by the dimension crash was a dimension that had already been destroyed… It was the dimension where Ariad was originally alive.
The tree trunk that came over from that dimension is the tree trunk that I thought was where my mother-in-law burned to death.
…The divinity, the spirit of my mother-in-law, still remained in that tree trunk.
As the one who passed over was my mother-in-law who had covered half of the world, it was just a part as big as a tree trunk.
As it all burned down, it lost its power… So it was in a situation where it was being controlled by a demon.
It didn’t matter.
It is said that love for a son-in-law is a mother-in-law’s responsibility, and there is also a saying that if a wife is pretty, she will bow to the pegs of her in-laws’ house.
If you can get it, it was natural to get it.
“…I’m sorry. George Han. “For putting a burden on me in a situation where I can’t even help.”
“I can’t believe I can help you. “Can’t you see this?”
A bag containing various seeds I received from Ariad, the fruit of the World Tree, and the stem and leaves.
They were useful items anywhere.
Well, whatever.
It may be worse than Ariad helping directly, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t help at all.
What’s left…
“Karura.”
When I called, Karura, who was holding Luca in her arms, came over.
“…Sleep well.”
As she watched her daughter, who had just been given a lot of breast milk by Karura and fell asleep with a comfortable face, she felt her motivation surge.
“With Justitia, protect everyone here.”
“…I get it. My”
“Don’t risk your life. If it’s dangerous, run away. Definitely, definitely. “I will go to protect you.”
Just like back then.
Karura nodded her head with a stiff face at my words.
Caressing Karura’s cheek.
“Sati created a communication network to evacuate the residents just in case. Aileya asks the werewolves to strengthen the perimeter around the island. Hongryeon to Teresa…”
It was a time when I was being careful and asking for various things.
ㅡKooooo.
From far away, dragons flew in.
Due to Justitia’s call, all dragons existing in this world…
In order to replace the vehicle to fly towards the center, where a strong barrier has been set up and cannot be reached through the space transfer gate.
“Then, I’ll come back.”
I spread my wings.
While riding on the dragon, I looked down as I headed towards the center.
“It’s a mess.”
The city is burning.
The sane people tried to stop it somehow, but the poison sprayed by the madman… Was too effective against those, including races that were not immune to this.
What was certain was that the future had changed.
This is not a future where dimension crashes occur everywhere and everyone is equally screwed… But perhaps he was preparing the next best solution, and a chaotic situation is taking place.
If you ask which one was more of a disaster, it’s definitely the former.
That was a catastrophe that could not be resisted, while this one was difficult, but I could see people trying to deal with it somehow.
But now, the poison of hatred has been sown.
If you ask which side is the minority, the sane side and the unhealthy side, of course the sane side was the minority.
Even though all of these people are strong enough to resist the poison…
The problem was that we couldn’t just harm people who were once our neighbors or who were just running rampant without knowing anything.
If things continued like this, they were both on the verge of coexistence.
That won’t work.
“Lilith.”
“It will come soon.”
Lilith says so.
And, it wasn’t long before they really came.
“Queen.”
“We’re here~”
“Oh my, it’s been a while, Hanzo.”
“Oh, it tastes even better… No, you’ve become more dignified.”
“The strong male who impregnated the Queen… What kind of semen does a man who can impregnate even a succubus if he wants to get pregnant?”
“Hey, you crazy bitches. “Isn’t that the situation right now?!”
When Lilith scolded the succubus Omangseong for his lewd remarks, the Omangseongs cackled and laughed.
“I know, I know. “Queen.”
“Do not worry. “I’m doing what you asked me to do.”
“You don’t trust us?”
“Then I guess I’ll be a little sad.”
“Ah, but this job is a bit tough. In return, I only need one drop of Hanzo’s semen…”
“Quick,” Said Lilith, gritting her teeth.
“Okay, you guys go quickly and help the kids.”
At those words, the five stars bowed their heads and spread their wings.
Wide open.
In the past, when Lilith got really angry and transformed into a third stage, three wings of the film spread out.
Before Lilith, in their world, everyone called them queens, and high-ranking succubi called succubi queens showed off their power.
Ugh, wow…
Divinity.
Yes, it is divine.
If Lilith is a god-like being to the succubi, then those who received orders directly from Lilith, raised her, and raised her… What kind of beings are the succubus queens and pentagrams of the past?
As Lilith’s closest associates, they were the ones who naturally received part of the divinity that was destined for Lilith, little by little.
They are beings who serve God and can be called high priests.
But.
Not really a high priest.
Because they are succubi.
Right.
A mental attack is a mental attack.
And, our Lilith are experts in such mental attacks.
Masters of all kinds of magic, from fascination to dark dreams, illusions, and other mental realms.
She was the queen of hundreds of thousands of succubi.
“Go, put all the rambunctious kids to sleep and let them have nice dreams. “Until everything is done.”
“If you see a good man, you can just take a bite, right?”
“…You can take care of that. “Don’t just cause an accident.”
“Okay, everyone, it’s time to eat a lot for the first time in a while♡”
“I said the queen would take responsibility.”
“Let’s all enjoy to our heart’s content♡”
Saying so, the five stars each led tens of thousands of succubi and scattered in all directions.
“…I left it to them, so things will work out for the time being.”
“It’s okay, right?”
Isn’t it true that when you finish all the work, mummies are being excavated all over the place until the chest is empty?
As she looked at Lilith with that thought in mind, Lilith quickly avoided my gaze.
“…It’s okay, right?”
“…I’ve always been very careful about myself, so I might go a little too crazy, but… I’ll be fine.”
…I think there’s one more reason to hurry.
