Mama, is this the statue? Mo Na flew up to the statue and started picking up apart the vines wrapping the statue with a tenacity that could have only been fueled by curiosity.
Seeing my little baby approach those vines like that imdiately gave the shock of my life. One had to know, those were the exact sa vines who, until recently, had been attacking the queen ant what if they were to harm my little sweetie?! But before I could say a word to stop Mo Na, she touched them. Thankfully, the worst didnt happen as the vines were of the docile variant.
Doesnt seem all that special. As she said that, she gathered mana into her palm, causing it to burst into flas and coalesce into a blade. With blade in hand, she quickly made short work of the vines and was finally able to touch the statue itself. Surprisingly, nothing happened. She had even given the statue a couple of light pats and yet it didnt respond at all. Its just rock, Mama. Do you think that black kitty was lying to us?
Black kitty
Sweetie, that little kitty you ntioned is probably even older than besides, she was right in saying that there was a statue here. Even though I still cant really make out its facial features, it should be a Fallen Angel statue.
There was no way Purgatory would have a complete depiction of any Angel other than a Fallen Angel. Thus, isian wasnt lying to and this had to be the statue she ntioned. More importantly, even though she hadnt been here before, she knew that there was a statue here! Just based on that alone, I could tell that she wasnt tricking .
If I had to guess why it wasnt reacting, it was probably because we hadnt uncovered the right chanism yet.
Mo Na, get back here, dont touch that statue.
Alright, Mama. She obediently flew back to my side.
For so inexplicable reason, the statue just struck as odd. After having my daughter return to safety by my side and having Big 4 and No.3 watch over the queen ant, I called out to Sinmosa, Sasani and Nola: Be careful everyone. Sinomsa, Sasani, Nola, Ill leave my daughter to you all. Best if Cinderel stays near her as well.
Whats up? Is there sothing wrong here?
Im not sure, but it just feels like this statue is calling out to That was the best explanation I could give for now. My gut just knew that it was calling out to ; from the very mont I laid eyes on it, I had the urge to touch it.
Yesthere is sothing off about this placeperhapsperhaps we should leave first. For the mighty Nola to be so apprehensive was truly a little out of character for her. Normally, she would be the first one to charge into the fray, just like how it was when we first t her
If we back away now, all that weve done would have been for naught I shook my head and rejected her proposal. Placing my little baby onto Sinmosas back, I gently kissed her on the forehead and said: Sweetie, rember to stick close to Aunty Sinmosa, dont run about, okay?
Unable to understand the aning behind my words, she tilted her head to the side in confusion: Mama, what are you up to?
Im not sure as well, all this just feels off to , thats why I dont want you to run about for now.
Kay.
As if I had just settled my dying will, I took a deep breath and then exhaled. Despite that, my heart refused to calm down in the least bit. I was worried. Extrely worried that sothing bad might happen the mont I touched that statue. But if I didnt touch itwouldnt all that we had done thus far been pointless? All those brushes with deathwerent they for this very mont?
The statue was definitely calling out to . I could feel that from the very depths of my soul. It wanted to go over and it wasnt my place to reject it.
Slowly walking up to the statue, I breathed in deep and then reached out with my right arm, gingerly pressing onto the statue with my finger
Suddenly, just as my finger made contact with the statue, a blackish-purple do barrier blasted outwards and rapidly enveloped the surrounding area with that statue as its center. In the ti it took for to blink, my entire field of vision was covered in it.
Panicked, I nearly tripped on myself as I stumbled backwards. I turned my head to look at Mo Na and found that not just her, but the rest as well, had all been frozen there as if so curse had caused ti to stop for themnoto be precise, ti had indeed stopped for everyone except only
Whats going onexactly what has happenedwhy arent they moving? Why am I the only one awake My legs started to soften and my body crumbled powerlessly to ground. I hurriedly tried to break my fall with my arm but I still ended up landing butt first anyway.
*crunch*
The ancient plants beneath cushioned my fall sowhat with a crunch. Even in their frozen state, I could sense and sll them crumbling before my body weight. There I laid, a complete wreck, torn apart by anxiety and doubt. What was happening to Mo Nawhat if shewhat if
In the midst of all that anxiety, regret and hatred for myself, I heard a confident boom from high above : Scared?
Whos there?! I raised my head and found nothing but that black statue.
You cant see ? Arent I standing right in front of you now?
In front of but theres only a statue in front of a statue
Youyou can talk?
I couldnt see what expression I had on now but without a doubt, it had to be a silly one.
Thats right, it has been 80 000 years already. Ive forgotten that I can talk too
Errmay I know the na of the Almighty Divine Im speaking to? Alsowhat about my companionsare they alright?
Almighty Divine? Hmmm, thats a rather interesting na. As for your companions, worry not, theyre fine. Ive just stopped their ti for now. Theyll be fine, at least while I wish them to be so.
In other words, youre saying our lives are in your hands right now. To be honest, even if the statue didnt say that, I knew it from the beginning. After all, everyone other than wasnt able to move at all. If the statue could stop ti, it could definitely kill us easily.
Alright, how about we get down to business then. Ive been waiting here for you for 80 000 years already. Do you know how boring that is?
youve been waiting here for 80 000 years? For ? Dont tell youve known of my arrival since that long ago?
Holy potatoes, dont tell my whole transmigration is because of this statue here? But why did it summon here 80 000 years ago? Or rather, why did I only end up here 80 000 years later?
I was overwheld by the information bombarding right now. Suddenly, it felt like I had unknowingly gotten myself embroiled in so devious plot Co to think of it, am I going to be pursued from now? In all those novels Ive read so far, guys like always end up getting pursued and getting progressively stronger after each encounterassuming they didnt die of coursecrap, I really hope its the forr
Just as I was preoccupied with all sorts of nonsense, the statue suddenly fished up from that miasmic abyss: Strictly speaking, I wasnt waiting for you but rather I was waiting for soone who could awaken .
so thats why
I just knew all that talk about plots and sches didnt suit what a relief. Purely out of curiosity, I blurted out the following: So what are the conditions for awakening you?
Simple, that person would have to be my direct descendent or have so kind of direct connection to one of my descendents.
Your descendents are devils?
To be exact, the Fallen Angels.
why does it feel like I had just been thrown back into Plot & Sches Central? Am I really dood to be stuck with such a fate?
Lets have a look see, exactly what kind of connection do you have to my descendentshmm, a fiance? Hah, how amusing, to think you made it here by reincarnation. Oh, whats this, theres another soul in your bodya direct descendent of Asmodeus? Haha, I would have never thought that you had so many secrets hidden in that tiny body of yours.
Like so sort of grisly dissection, my secrets were all slowly picked up and laid bare for all to see. Every word he spoke seed to strip off one more layer of secrecy I had.
