Chapter 4268 Mother
At this moment, Agelina's dragon scale amulet was silently activated, and the silver moonlight shield briefly gave Agelina a chance to catch her breath, but the amulet shattered completely after less than two seconds.
The gaze, which did not exist in reality, continued to look at Adelina's unique soul. In that gaze that hated the entire world, Adelina seemed to understand what the most chaotic existence was like.
However, her own weak power was not enough for Adelina to have an epiphany at this moment, but fortunately, another ray of light protected Adelina.
It was a luminous, aquamarine gemstone.
The Sage-level relic, the Soul Gem, had always been considered too dangerous by Lacey. Although Adelina carried this gift from Shad with her, she had never used it. But now, without being activated by anyone, the gem appeared before Adelina on its own. Amidst the flowing azure light, the soul of a strange girl appeared before Adelina, shielding her from the gaze of the unknown being.
The Soul Gem is a product of the original pure soul of its holder, which has fallen or degenerated in despair. The one appearing now is the soul of the previous holder. Adelina didn't know her story, didn't know her past, but when the unfamiliar soul opened its arms and turned its back to Adelina to shield her from view, Adelina vaguely sensed the other's determination to protect its sister through her magical technique, Chaotic Heartbeat.
Even after death, even though Adelina was not her sister, her soul still appeared.
Five seconds later, cracks appeared on the surface of the azure gem, and the relic lost its effect and fell to the ground. But that was enough. The girl, now merged with Dorothy, had arrived before the "Infant Mother," her right hand, capable of obliterating space, touching the swaddling clothes she held.
The unborn, eerie entity struggled with all its might to block the chosen one's power, but it could not. Meanwhile, Adelina, clutching the shattered gem, heard another shout in the rain:
"Unicorn Flying Kick!"
A soft light appeared in the rain even before the figure materialized, and then the pure white sacred beast plunged headlong into the darkness. At the same moment the chosen one's hand touched the swaddling clothes in the half-space, the chosen one of destiny pierced through the body of the "Infant Mother," completely dispelling the darkness that contained boundless malice.
"Isn't it a flying kick?"
Click!
The Virgin Mary's body shattered, but accompanied by cries emanating from the swaddling clothes torn apart by the distorted space, a powerful life force surged, and a fiery red light carried the fragments of the Virgin Mary's body and the swaddling clothes towards the dilapidated building in the orphanage.
"The Spark Source! Where did this come from? Stop right there!"
Lacey Dorothy reached out her hand to freeze space, but the girl's body swayed, and her single body split into two in that instant before merging back together.
Taking advantage of the moment, the flames shot into the top floor of the orphanage. Adelina rushed over to help her sisters, but after a brief moment of discomfort, they were fine.
“That fire just now was the source of the fire. The Mother of the Infant’s reappearance was indeed due to her support. Ellie, go help Shad. Let’s deal with things here first.”
"Okay, Adelina, be careful!"
The unicorn spoke to the little princess, then transformed into a white streak of light and chased after the red light.
The girls, now united, patted Adelina on the shoulder before going to help the witch's followers. The ring sorcerers of the [Holy Son Alliance] were still fighting them. Adelina looked worriedly at the orphanage building in the rain, then pursed her lips at the cracked gem she was holding, before going to check on the people who had fainted from the power of "Abomination."
On the top floor of the orphanage building, Shad, Viggo, Grace, and Helen had not yet dealt with "Mother," not because they were entangled, but because the time in the area where the relic was located was abnormal, and in their perception, the battle had only just begun.
The "Mother's" true form is located in the largest bedroom in the orphanage. Its power is not strong, and even though the characteristics it exhibited this time are different from the original records, it does not give it a very strong combat ability.
Its appearance was indeed that of a tall woman, over two meters tall, dressed in a black robe. The strong maternal and vitality emanating from her made Xia De feel as if she were a pregnant woman about to give birth.
In that room on the top floor of the orphanage, the missing children who had been brought there had vanished. The vitality emanating from "Mother" was enough to illustrate what she had done to those children.
Without needing communication or questioning, the moonlight tore its body apart, turning its solid form into an amorphous shadow. The shadow wriggled and reformed into a human shape, the reappearing figure in a woman's black suit, leaving Wei Ge, who had been furiously attacking, frozen in place:
"Mother?"
Peggy Flamel, who had only existed in photographs, appeared before Viggo. In that instant, even the eleventh-tier witch forgot she was fighting, and all her pent-up grievances erupted at that moment:
"Mother, why did you do these things? Did you marry Father out of love or for your own purposes? What do you take my sister Aurora and me for?"
She cried and tried to hug the figure in front of her, but Chad grabbed her arm.
"Grace, Helen!"
"Yes, sir!"
A swarm of red butterflies danced forward, engulfing the figure resembling a female alchemist. Even though she now realized it was merely an illusion created by the relic's properties, Vige continued to weep.
Shad assumed that Helen and Grace would handle the relic; with the power of a top-tier angel-level relic, dealing with this anomaly of a guardian-level relic should be no problem.
But amidst the fluttering red butterflies, Grace and Helen suddenly appeared, hand in hand, staring blankly at the woman emerging from the swarm. Shad didn't recognize the gentle, beautiful woman, but he heard the twin sisters' voices:
"Mother."
The more humanity one possesses, the deeper the longing, and the more easily one is influenced—this has nothing to do with power. Or rather, if they were merely mere relics, they wouldn't be affected at this moment. These relics are quite interesting.
She whispered a sigh in Shad's ear, and Shad's lips twitched slightly. He temporarily released the sobbing Viggo, and then instantly appeared in front of Grace and Helen:
"I don't care what you are—Moonlight Slash!"
Grace and Helen stood there stunned, but at least they didn't stop Shad's attack. The holy silver moonlight once again cleaved through the figure, and the shield that had formed in front of it shattered in less than a second.
After his figure shattered, he transformed back into a black, amorphous mist. As countless female faces emerged and merged within that mist, Shad waved his right hand, preparing to condense moonfire and unleash the "Moonlight Ray."
But at this very moment—
Boom!
The wall was smashed through from the outside, and crimson light flew into the black mist. The mist then instantly reformed into a woman over two meters tall. This time, however, she carried a swaddled infant in her arms.
"Our Lady with the Infant!"
Ellie followed him through the hole in the wall and stopped beside Shad. The tall woman no longer wore her hood, revealing the face of the "Infant Madonna." She gently patted the swaddled baby, then absorbed the contents of the swaddled baby into her own body.
It looked up at Shad, its face filled with a loving and compassionate expression. Shad noticed that its belly was slightly swollen, and that area even emitted a red glow.
"You've fused the AllSpark with that unborn thing? Who provided you with the technology to create the AllSpark? Are you trying to use the 'Mother' to bring that unborn thing into existence?"
"Shad asked, stopping the eager Ellie," Shad said. The figure before him, who had actively merged with the relic, opened her arms to Shad, making a gesture of embrace, her voice still that of the "Mother Mother of the Infant":
“I am not worthy to give birth to such a great thing; this is just an attempt. Every mother deserves to hold her child, and it is willing to ask for our help. We are also willing to help this poor mother.”
The towering figure gradually distorted, the relic's properties causing it to attempt to transform into the mother of the young man before it. Combined with the terrifying power of the Guardian-level relic, the [Infant Mother], and "Abomination," it was no longer merely a relic; it could be considered an evil entity masquerading as "Mother."
"And you, my child."
The figure said:
"It's been a long time, come back to my embrace once more."
Xia De saw through its plan, and he was actually quite curious about what kind of image it would take. He was an orphan in his hometown, and when he came to this world, he was already an adult when he woke up, so naturally there was no "mother" by blood.
However, the power of the relic remained anchored to an image. Under the watchful eyes of Shad, Ellie, and the now-awakened Grace and Helen, a soft, simulated silver moonlight briefly illuminated the dim room from the core of that blurry figure. Then...
Even Shad, Grace, and Helen, who were closest to the event, couldn't see clearly what had happened.
Time seemed to have jumped, or perhaps some inexplicable force had simply appeared. But in retrospect, it seemed more like the thing trying to transform had triggered some fundamental rule of the world.
It has vanished; the relic itself, the "Madonna with the Infant," and the "Abomination" have all disappeared.
The space before them was terrifyingly empty, but not everything had been erased. A large mass of abnormal life force, which had not yet been absorbed by that body, was merging into this world, while the weak souls that had not yet been absorbed stared blankly at the world that had brought them such a tragic fate.
