Chapter 1183: Chapter 490: Yulia and the Defiant Fla Butterfly

Yulia has grown up—this matter is quite comforting to Aiwass.

The child now has her own ideas and has defined her future path. Aiwass no longer needs to carefully support her as she walks on that one-way bridge, but can let her walk independently.

From this perspective, the Nurturing Skill is indeed necessary.

It’s like a child who has always stayed at ho deciding to move out on their own. The question of whether the child can take care of themselves makes Aiwass worried, naturally, he won’t hold back on her living expenses. At the very least, she should be able to study well and walk confidently on the most promising path without having to overdraft her future fighting strength for living expenses.

And the only possible obstacle is Defiant Fla Butterfly Liya.

She once harbored hostility towards Yulia.

The reason is simple—she is a Phantom Demon of native kind, her mory begins in the sa way as Yulia’s. In other words, Liya and Yulia encountered Aiwass at the sa ti, and thus both love Aiwass.

However, Aiwass only cares for Yulia, hoping to relieve her “pain,” heal her “illness,” and change her “cursed fate”—yet that “pain,” “illness,” and “curse” is Liya herself.

This relationship is akin to the bond between a living person and their transford Moon Child after death.

Even so, the kindness from Yulia made Liya not try to take over Yulia’s body.

She only felt sorrow but did not wish to harm others because of it.

Thus, she especially liked the na Aiwass gave her—now she is no longer Yulia’s “pain,” “illness,” “curse,” but she still doesn’t want to be rely an extension of Yulia.

To distinguish herself from Yulia, Liya even changed the way she addresses Aiwass—

She called Aiwass “Dad.”

Because of such a strong sense of divergence, Aiwass was prepared to do so work with Liya.

Unexpectedly, Liya agreed without even hesitating.

Facing Aiwass’s doubt, Liya in Fla Butterfly form paused on Aiwass’s shoulder, emitting a voice deeper and more mature than Yulia’s: “I am not Yulia’s enemy…

“I once had mories identical to hers before her split, that was when I was tangled in ‘who am I.’ But now we each have different lives, and we won’t walk the sa path in the future.”

Just like Aiwass’s own confusion.

“The question of ‘who am I’ also troubles the Defiant Fla Butterfly.

And the answer Aiwass gave to Yulia surprisingly applied to the Defiant Fla Butterfly as well…

“Because we are no longer the sa person, her wisdom can enlighten , which is why I haven’t been able to help Dad in ti. Now that she has grown up, I can’t continue being willful.”

The Defiant Fla Butterfly emitted a determined voice.

At this mont, Yulia was right beside—she was also interacting with “another self” at this distance, in this identity for the first ti.

“…Dad?”

Yulia was sowhat puzzled: “Why ‘Dad’?”

“Because Aiwass doesn’t accept the term ‘Mom.’

“The Defiant Fla Butterfly spoke in a lazy voice: “You might have thought so too, Yuli?

“Before being adopted by Father, you also felt Aiwass was like an ‘Dad’ you had never t. Even after being adopted, you still felt Aiwass was as gentle as the mythical ‘Mom.'”

“…Mmm.”

Having her childhood thoughts spoken out loud so rcilessly made Yulia’s cheeks a bit flushed.

But she didn’t refute, only softly replied: “There’s no need to ntion such things…”

“——Another thing, Dad.”

The Defiant Fla Butterfly’s voice beca slightly serious: “You should know, I am a Phantom Demon of the Path of Devotion, right?”

“…Yes, what about it?”

Aiwass was sowhat confused.

“Can you just use normally?”

The Defiant Fla Butterfly ultimately sighed: “You can’t bear to let self-destruct, but I feel you still think of as ‘Yulia,’ as a flesh-and-blood mortal to pity and cherish.

“Contributors always crave to sacrifice themselves for others—that’s my nature. Making great sacrifices for those I love, and those who love , are all worthwhile.

“I originally have the strength that could help Dad, but because of Dad’s restraints, I haven’t been able to be utilized, and instead need other ‘Great Beasts’ to appear… Isn’t that reversing priorities?

“——I don’t want to beco a canary protected in a cage!”

“…I can understand you.”

Beside her, Yulia slightly widened her eyes, earnestly speaking: “I would rather face ‘danger’ or ‘pain’, than feel I can’t do anything.”

It’s like she was confined at ho by her adoptive father.

Rationally speaking, Yulia knew it was good for her. But sotis, she would rather burn herself out… hoping to break through this warm cage.

Given they were originally the sa person… she could understand each other!

The Defiant Fla Butterfly after hearing this, also flew over from Aiwass’s shoulder, lightly brushing wings against Yulia.

Yulia had been prepared, determined to suppress her fear towards her… after all, she had been slowly tornted by the low-temperature cooking of the Defiant Fla Butterfly for over a decade. Although the essence of that slow cook was because the Defiant Fla Butterfly didn’t want to “reduce juices with high heat”, a move to directly seize Yulia’s body, it indeed brought Yulia long-term, never-ending torture.

Now, they were two different individuals. Moreover, the Defiant Fla Butterfly is an important ally to her brother, even preparing to grant her protection strength… thus at the very least she couldn’t show a repulsive heart, causing her sadness.

Especially… it seed Little Butterfly had been jealous of her all along.

Sharing the sa mories and similar personality made it easy for Yulia to switch perspectives. Once switched to the other side, she imdiately understood the other’s feelings.

——How could she despise soone who sets aside prejudices to help her?

Yet…

When they did touch, Yulia unexpectedly found… her body didn’t resist “Liya” at all.

Rather, the opposite—there was an intense sense of kinship with Liya.

As if only by rging together would she feel complete, and she would not feel alone.

…Or rather, when Yulia’s cheek was touched by the Defiant Fla Butterfly’s wings, she unexpectedly felt a calm happiness akin to being hugged by her own child—though she herself was neither a mother nor had a child.

Yulia gently closed her eyes, relishing in the feeling of her body slowly warming up again.

The girl spoke, softly asking: “Can I also call you Liya?”

And the Defiant Fla Butterfly, unexpectedly, did not feel the hatred she thought she would.

Perhaps because their kindness is identical, or perhaps because… their relationship is inherently different from Shadow Demon Beiyade and Moon Child Beiyade. Because when they rge, that’s their initial, complete form. So perhaps it resembles the relationship between Aiwass and Aleister…

…So that’s why Aleister instinctively had hostility towards the Defiant Fla Butterfly?

Because similar kinds repel each other—they are the sa kind of existence.

“Of course, Yuli.”

Little Butterfly emitted that deep, slow, and lazy voice: “I also feel an almost sleepy calmness… like the beds in the orphanage.”

Aiwass felt as though he could also understand this feeling.

…It’s like returning ho after a long ti in the big city, back to your old ho, lying in your childhood bed in that old yet clean room.

——It seems like forgotten mories seeped out of the cracks.

Aiwass too felt his heart warming up.

“Then, I’ll prepare the ceremony.”

He spoke softly, his voice full of doting, like preparing Yulia’s favorite dinner.

“You stay here and chat. Talk about your individual experiences…

“The ceremony will be ready soon.”
