After listening to the two girls talk for a while, Ethan suddenly rembered Lily's letter. His lover ntioned eting twin girls who called her Mother-in-law.
'I believe their nas are Maple and Cinnamon,' Ethan thought. 'But what are they doing?'
After connecting the dots together, he deed that the twin boys were his and Lily's future sons.
Seeing this scene made Ethan rember that his wife had been captured by the Progenitors, making him feel a little anxious.
Just as Ethan was thinking along these lines, another person appeared in the projection, taking him by surprise.
She was very cute, the type that n would want to hold, cherish, and protect all their lives. Upon seeing her, Ethan thought of only one thing.
'She might be Maple and Cinnamon's sister,' Ethan mused.
However, this idea instantly shattered when the adorable girl, whom the young man believed was Maple, walked toward her sister with a smile on her face.
"Zach, this is my Mama and your future mother-in-law," Maple said as she showed her mother the baby in her arms. "Say, 'Hi Mama.""
The baby didn't do as instructed, but he still looked at Cinnamon as if wondering who the beautiful lady was.
Usually, Zach and Zayne would cry when there were strangers around.
However, since Chiffon looked a bit like Maple, Zach behaved properly and simply observed the lady in front of him.
"See?" Maple said with pride. "He's so well-behaved, right?"
Not wanting to be left out, Cinnamon also approached Chiffon, holding Zayne in her arms. "Zayne, this is my Mama," Cinnamon said.
The baby, Zayne, reached out his hands towards the twin girls' mama, as if he wanted to be held by her.
However, Ethan had a strong suspicion that his son just wished to escape from the clutches of Cinnamon, which made him feel a bit anxious about his sons' future.
The baby then wrapped his arms around Chiffon's neck and rested his head on her shoulder.
He then closed his eyes to sleep, making Cinnamon smile.
"Zayne likes Mama very much," Cinnamon comnted. "I think that he's happy to see his mother-in-law~"
"He's just a baby," the young lady, whom Ethan originally assud to be Maple and Cinnamon's sister, replied with a helpless look on her face. "He still doesn't know many things. Let's talk about this again when he's older."
"Okay."
"Mmm."
The scene faded, and this ti, Ethan saw sothing that made his heart lt for the umpteenth ti.
He saw himself laying on a couch, with a little Catkin around one to two years old curled on top of his chest, purring as he lightly patted her head.
Her little tail was moving left and right behind her back, making Ethan want to see Lilith right now and ask her to give birth to his child then and there.
However, he knew that it wasn't possible at the mont, so he simply burned this image into his mory.
"I'm getting jealous," Lilith said as soon as she appeared in the scene, crouching down to kiss her beloved and her daughter.
The little cat girl stretched out her arm, as if asking Lilith to join them.
Ethan chuckled and moved his free hand to pat Lilith's head, making the latter smile bitterly. "Do you want to purr for you as well?" Lilith asked in a teasing tone.
"Don't compete with our daughter," Ethan replied.
Lilith smiled and gave Ethan a quick peck on the lips.
The little girl saw this scene and moved to imitate her mother, kissing Ethan's lips. She then kissed her mother's lips as well, which prompted her parents to shower her with kisses, making her giggle.
Her laughter was like the pealing of bells that Ethan wouldn't mind hearing for the rest of his life.
Unfortunately, this scene faded just like the rest, but it showed another scene.
This ti, Lilian appeared breastfeeding her baby boy, cradling him gently in her arms. For so reason, Ethan found this scene very moving. Among his lovers, Lilian was like the combination of Luna, Lily, and Nicole.
As a first impression, people would think that she was a very kind and soft-spoken lady like Luna.
However, she was also very cunning and bold like Lily and Nicole.
So, seeing the look of love and tenderness in her eyes as she breastfed her baby made Ethan sincerely feel that he was very lucky to have her in his life.
When Lilian and him made love, she would always follow Ethan's lead, as if she had no will of
her own.
But this wasn't really the case.
She simply wished to know what he liked to do, so in the future, she could take the initiative to service him the way he wanted.
He realized this side of her after they had attempted their first Legacy Resonance.
Since then, Lilian no longer fainted after a round of lovemaking, allowing her to study and learn the things that turned him on.
Ethan's older self also appeared in the scene, seated beside his wife, who was nursing their
baby.
No words were spoken between them, for there was no need for them.
Their actions were enough to show how much they loved and cared for each other.
When this scene faded, another scene took place.
This ti, it was showing a nine-year-old rman with long blue hair, swiftly swimming away from his nannies with a big smile on his face.
He had the features of both Ethan and Illumina, making him incredibly handso. Ethan already knew that given more years, this son of his would definitely make the hearts of the ladies swoon, and the thought of it inexplicably made him proud and anxious at the sa
ti.
He watched as the young rman swam toward an underwater garden, where beautiful undersea flowers glowed faintly.
There, he saw a rmaid Princess with a red fish tail, carrying a two-year-old rmaid in her
arms.
Just like her, the little rmaid's fish tail was red in color, a stark contrast to her hair that was
as blue as the sea.
Ethan almost choked at this scene, starting to doubt if what he was seeing was real.
However, this scene didn't last for long and faded faster than the others.
The next scene showed Emma teaching a young lady, who seed to be around nine to ten
years old, potion crafting.
"When you grow up, I'll teach you how to craft a love potion," Emma said in a teasing tone.
"Mom, I don't need to learn that kind of potion," the girl replied.
"Well, you'll never know what the future holds."
"But Mom, you didn't have to use a love potion to marry Father, right?"
"That's because our circumstances are special," Emma answered. "If they weren't, I might have used a love potion to make your father fall for , you know?"
"... Really?"
"Really. Your father was very popular when he was in the academy. Actually, so witches
even crafted so love potions and thought of many ways to add it to his food and drinks.
"But I was one step faster and made sure he beca immune to them by letting him drink the
potions I made to counter those kinds of potions."
"Mom, teach how to make that potion." The girl said.
"Good." Emma nodded. "Now, rember, you need to add a drop of your..."
Ethan pretended that he didn't hear the rest of Emma's words.
Suddenly, a familiar giant head appeared before him, with a smirk plastered on its face.
Ethan looked at Mimir with a serious expression on his face.
"Are all of those scenes real?" Ethan asked.
"They are real and not real at the sa ti," Mimir replied. "They are the possible futures
that might happen if you survive this calamity. If you don't, those things will not co to pass and will rely be possibilities that will be buried in the passing of ti."
The wise Giant then looked at the young man and asked him a question. "So, Ethan, do you think those futures are worth fighting for?" Mimir asked. "Yes," Ethan replied in a heartbeat. "They are worth fighting for."
Mimir nodded. "Then, before you leave this place, there is still one battle that is waiting for you."
Behind Mimir, a monstrous creature, hundreds of ters long, appeared within the vastness of the void.
It was a creature that not many individuals had the honor to see in their lifeti, but those lucky enough to see it would uncontrollably gasp due to how breathtaking it was.
A draconic serpent, whose main body seed to span for miles, appeared in front of Ethan.
Its form looked like the symbol of infinity.
But what caught Ethan's attention was the fact that the Draconic snake seed to be holding
the end of its tail inside its mouth.
Its monstrous eyes then looked down on Ethan, as if he was just so kind of insect.
And yet, for so reason, this unfathomable monster seed familiar, though unfamiliar to him at the sa ti.
