Daughter's Union II
'Such an overwhelming divine power, if he had been my master instead...' The evil infant explained, having sensed the rush of Primordial Gold that resembled nothing short of a sea of honey. Enjoyable and delightful.
Jie Yuan said no words about the matter, instead, she and Ni Jie focused on the little redhead, Wanhu. She had been cleansed and her countenance looked as pure as the clearest sheet.
"Umu?" The girl's eyes opened for the first time in millions of years. The first silhouettes she saw were her mother and 'sisters'.
Jie Yuan had expected her daughter to say something warm, perhaps even to cry a little, but no such thing happened.
"Pretty sisters!"
"..." (Jie Yuan)
"..." (Ni Jie)
"..." (Richter)
The three individuals regarded each other in momentary confusion, especially Richter who was rather amused at the girl's declaration, those were her first words after waking up. He thought he'd become good friends with the lass, but the thoughts were short-lived.
"You sisters are all so pretty, even you, big sister!" The redhead pointed in Richter's direction who had been looking to the sides wondering if there was anyone else he couldn't sense.
"Me?"
"Yes, big sister is the most gorgeous!"
*SNORT!*
"Snooty brat... I am a male dragon" It was then that the Primordial Gold aura stopped being 'soothing' and became a little corrosive.
"Calm down Richter, please... she's just a child... don't take offence" Jie Yuan hugged her daughter to protect her from the big bad dragon. The latter found his golden eyebrows twitching as he looked at the girl whose head had been placed in between Jie Yuan's big chest as she smirked in her direction.
'This girl!-'
"Wanhu..." Jie Yuan repressed the necessity to smirk at the expression Richter was making and instead focused on her daughter who she hadn't seen for so long. She hadn't changed even a bit.
Ling Wanhu, being hugged out of nowhere, felt confused... she didn't know who these people were.
She then focused on Ni Jie, the four colours-eyed girls who had her gaze fixed on this girl, the two of them released a tear and touched each other's faces.
The two girls began interacting with one another, two completely different faces from the same individual; the redhead was ravenous and extroverted while the silver-haired beauty was introverted and quiet. Nevertheless, they seemingly coexisted together as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
Watching both of her daughters interact with one another in such proximity, Jie Yuan felt like crying. None of the two likely recognised her as their mother, and she couldn't blame them, she couldn't be there when they needed her the most.
'I have no qualifications for them to regard me as their mother, but even then... I want to be there for them, for her She clenched her teeth, coming to a decision.
"Richter, I'm going to fuse them now" She stated, turning to look at the man who had been watching her daughters as if they were his own, he was amused at her behaviour and with how snooty Wanhu was, she recalled him of Horlein who was also a troublemaker.
"Are you sure? don't you think you should ask for their permission?" He told her, merely as friendly advice... they're Jie Yuan's daughters so it is not his business to decide what she shall do or not do with them.
"I didn't ask for their permission when they were separated... now, after having suffered for so long thanks to a foolish decision. I won't ask them for their permission either. This is for the best" She said resolutely, her daughters had wasted millions of years of their lives, all because of a corrupted world that didn't accept them... now, that world is no more.
"Could you help me?" Jie Yuan asked Richter who lifted up an eyebrow in surprise at her request.
"Oh? why?"
"Do what you did before, please... it will make things easier for me".
'And it felt nice too' That part she didn't say out loud.
"Sure..." The Golden Dragon God placed his hand on her shoulder and irradiated a soothing Primordial Gold aura into her being.
Ni Jie and Ling Wanhu who had been chasing after one another, suddenly found themselves enveloped in a ball of darkness with a mild golden aura.
"This is for your sake, my love... if this is the wrong decision, then forgive your mother again".
Levitating above a sea of eerie flowers, Jie Yuan looked majestic in the darkness. The Evil Infant's aura shrouded her, enveloping her whole being. Her hair turned pitch black, her skin also adopted a greyish tonality and her eyes who were pitch black grew a white slit.
She looked like a Goddess of Darkness tasked to bring damnation into this world, except... this pitiful mother wanted nothing more than to have a peaceful life with her daughter.
"Manipulation of souls is another one of my laws..."
Her power overwhelming; her control over her own element was so vast that Richter couldn't help but be mesmerized. She was taking advantage of his aura to further subjugate the Evil Infant.
This woman is without a doubt, the peak of Darkness.
When it all receded, there was a redhead... she was an adult in all shapes and forms to the point that if placed beside Jie Yuan, one wouldn't be able to spot who was older. When her eyes opened, they were neither red nor multi-coloured, they were a shiny pink that seemed to illuminate the darkness around her.
*RUMBLE!!!*
A berserk aura was released from her body out of nowhere. It irradiated in a crimson aura all over this world to the point even Richter gasped. It was musky and dense, an authority of darkness and elements.
She's without a doubt Ni Xuan and Jie Yuan's daughter.
"Ridiculous... to think she inherited this power... the Evil God Arts" even the mother exclaimed proudly, seeing her daughter joined back the way it should have always been. She was the fusion of her daughter's two souls, now having a physical body.
"You are?" the girl asked them with an adult voice and an adult mindset, however... there was something missing and Jie Yuan knew it. She walked forward in all her dark self to hold her confused adult daughter in between her arms.
"Manipulating souls shall always drag unexpected consequences... don't worry, my daughter... I will make sure you live happily from now on, far away from this accursed world that took so much from us".
