"The eldest son's flesh and blood?"
Although Shad had never heard of a similar concept, since the [Radiant Dragon] could create offspring using itself, the [Twilight Creator], who possessed the powers of creation, evolution, and flesh and blood, could certainly do the same.
"To be more precise, this is the remnant and degenerated flesh and blood of the firstborn. Although it no longer possesses its former power after the end of the mythological era, we pseudo-humans were indeed differentiated from this mass of flesh and blood, and we are also the 'first offspring'."
It spoke calmly, without much pride, but Shad pointed out:
"The original offspring should have been created by the ancient god who wielded the power of creation, right? But you seem to have split off from this mass of flesh and blood, which, according to you, is something that degenerated and split off. The ancient god would not have created such strange and disgusting things as you. Ancient races like the Titans are so magnificent and wondrous. As for you, you should actually be called... the product of error, just like a tumor growing on the human body."
Outsiders actually prefer to say "cancer cells," but that word doesn't exist in this era.
The dummy on the wall wasn't angry at all.
"Humans cannot comprehend this honor, after all, you were not created by our Lord."
Xia De then said:
"First, I don't think the Ancient God would like you calling it 'My Lord.' Second, since you say that humans are not the creation of that Ancient God, do you know the origin of humans? Where did humans come from? Did they evolve from monkeys?"
Then he noticed that the fourth-stage pseudo-human was looking at him with a strange expression:
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone insult their own race like this."
It seems that the humans in this world are not products of evolution. However, seeing that the other party had no intention of answering his question, Xia De did not intend to stay any longer.
If he could find a way to resolve or temporarily paralyze that degenerated "eldest son flesh," and then close that door, then the problem of the [False Man's House] would no longer be a problem. As for how to resolve it, that's what Shad needs to investigate next. Although the [Dark Moon Mark] was ineffective, Shad really didn't want the final solution to be eating it himself.
"Alright then, thank you for your hospitality. I will bring more friends to visit you next time to repay your invitation."
As Shad spoke, the crystal shoe was thrown out.
Although the dummy on the wall didn't know what Shad was doing, it still manipulated the flesh and blood under Shad's feet, trying to wrap around his legs.
But it was too late. As Shad's figure disappeared, a dazzling miracle light burst forth like the sun beside the blood pool, and the center of the light burst was precisely where the crystal shoe, which had also disappeared, had last been.
The flesh and blood on the ground were burned and melted under the golden miracle light, and then the flesh and blood in the entire core room were scorched by that burst of light.
"what!"
A shrill scream echoed through every room inside the [House of Pseudo-Humans]. A small number of low-level pseudo-humans inside the [House of Pseudo-Humans] immediately lost their human form and exploded into a mass of flesh and blood, which was then absorbed back into the house.
When the miraculous light in the core room dissipated, Shad and the crystal shoe had, of course, vanished without a trace. The fleshy walls on the surface of the core room melted outwards by at least thirty centimeters, revealing deeper layers of flesh and tissue within.
The blood pool had evaporated by about three centimeters, and even the "firstborn flesh" clinging to the doorway looked as if it had been severely injured and was now listless. If Shad had seen this, he would have understood the power of the gods against such things. It goes without saying that the power of the gods naturally restrains relics.
However, the fourth-tier pseudo-human in charge of this place did not disappear. After the burst of light, it stumbled out of the wall and plunged into the blood pool, where it did not reappear for a long time.
(Mia is running.)
The crystal slipper landed on the carpet, and Shad appeared in the living room of room number one on the second floor of his house. This was the first time the magic had landed in this room, which also indirectly demonstrated the influence of the power given by the Old Gods on the magic.
Unfortunately, while the blessing for the family is long-term, the blessing for Cinderella's lock is a one-time thing.
[Stranger, you return home carrying blessings; the blessing of the Old God—Lord of the Walls—on your home has officially taken effect.]
"She" gently reminded him. Regardless, he was indeed safe and sound at home. Seeing the familiar scene, Shad breathed a sigh of relief. He had assumed no one was home, but to his surprise, the moment he appeared, Galina, with her striking red hair, immediately stood up from the sofa.
"Shad!"
The golden eyes looked at Shad, and then it charged forward.
"Meow!"
But it was Mia who jumped first from the back of the sofa onto Shad's shoulder, followed by the Duchess who threw herself into his arms. She looked extremely worried. Shad patted her back, calmed himself down, and then asked:
"Don't worry, everything's alright now. So how long have I been gone? What's the situation now?"
He entered the "House of the Pseudo-Humans" around 4 PM on Tuesday, and now, looking out his window, the heavy darkness had already descended upon the capital of the Northern Kingdom, indicating that a considerable amount of time had passed.
It was 7:13 p.m. on Tuesday, three hours after Shad "disappeared" into the snow-capped mountains. Galina hugged him tightly and told him about the current situation.
After Shad disappeared in the blood mist and Helmons the Bloodthirsty fled, Sivi almost immediately contacted Galina through the council. Galina then sent Tifa to the Society of Prophets to find Luvia, whose divination provided the answer:
“He will be at home between 7:10 and 7:20 in three hours. Don’t rush. I’m going to Fatummst Island to check on the situation. Galina, you stay home and wait for news. Let us know as soon as Shad returns.”
Shad suspected that Luvia had used up the last special coin, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get such precise time.
Galina then waited at home for news until Shad appeared. Now that Shad was back, he didn't immediately tell her what had happened, but instead asked Galina to inform the other girls that he was safe.
The Duchess had no desire to leave Shad at this moment. She clung tightly to Shad's arm, afraid he would disappear again, and then summoned Tifa to deliver a message to the council.
The black-haired maid, emerging from the kitchen, breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Xia De's safe return. She smiled and winked at him before taking her mistress's jewelry and singing as she entered the old corridor. But once inside the council chamber, she discovered an unexpected person:
Good evening, Your Excellency Isabella.
Sunlight streamed through the white mist above, illuminating the round table below. At the table, Adele Isabella, with her blonde hair, sat regally in the "Time" seat.
Besides her, Vanessa, Bella, and Flora were also there. Megan and Sylvia went directly to the island. Although Grandma Cassandra wasn't there, Miss Swift, who was also on the island, was waiting for news.
Tifa greeted the blonde witch softly, and Isabella, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, glanced at her.
"good evening."
Then she turned to Vanessa, who was standing nearby, and asked:
"Although Galina didn't come, Miss Swift did, which means things have been resolved. So, what exactly are you three hoping to hear from Galina, given that you're all here with Miss Swift tonight?"
There was no council meeting tonight. Adele Isabella entered the council for some reason and then unexpectedly discovered that three agitated archwitches and a witch apprentice were actually participating in some kind of group activity.
She realized almost immediately that something had happened on Fatummister Island, and then that it must be related to Shad. If she knew nothing, she might not have been able to read their expressions, but now she could easily see the worry in her colleagues' eyes.
So, out of some concern, she stayed behind, thinking she might be able to help.
"We're waiting for news from the fakes. On Monday night, Tobesk wiped out the fakes' house, and the investigation revealed something incredible: those fakes possessed very powerful abilities."
Flora spoke immediately; Miss Owl had already prepared her words:
“Vanessa’s opera company is in Tobesk during the winter, Bella’s Moon Bay region also has a representative in Tobesk, Granny Cassandra’s auction house has a branch there, and several of my girls have also been in Tobesk recently helping me acquire art. So we want to know from Galina whether the newly confirmed list of fakes will implicate us.”
Tifa understood immediately and bowed slightly, speaking respectfully:
“Just three minutes ago, Miss received that list. The matter of the fake people did not involve anyone closely related to the council, and everyone you care about is safe.”
The witch and her apprentices all breathed a sigh of relief. Miss Isabella, of course, understood that this meant the matter had been resolved satisfactorily, and that Shad was likely out of danger.
"But you guys are being overly cautious, waiting for news in Parliament just because of something like this?"
She asked in a languid voice, still wondering what Xia De had encountered tonight. If it was just a few fake people, they shouldn't be so worried.
"At this time of year, you can never be too cautious."
Bella laughed, saying that her apprentice, Matilda, was at the scene in the snowy mountains, so she was among the first to learn of Shad's accident. Of course, she wasn't going to discuss that now.
"According to Galina, a rare fire raged in the city of Tobesk on Monday night, and the church is taking it very seriously. Moreover, the methods used by the fakes this time are truly astonishing. Furthermore, Galina even learned a deeper secret about the 'House of Fakes' from Miss Beas, namely that door. So we are all worried that we might get involved."
It's alright now, it's alright now.
