Chapter 1694: Chapter 206: Grim Reaper Mandun_4
Within the Divine Realm, both I and the myriad gods were deeply shaken by your power; you were willing to sacrifice your own life in a desperate bid to perish alongside Vincent. I truly don’t understand what you were thinking at that moment. Alas, at the final juncture, as you neared true death, you did not reveal your lineage, nor did you tell him that you were actually his son. I knew you felt ashamed of your origins. In order to save you, I exerted all my might to call out through a Spiritual Imprint, beckoning you to return. Perhaps it was the awareness before impending death, but at the last moment as Vincent aimed to finish you with a final strike, you harnessed the energy from the Spiritual Imprint to instantly transport yourself back to the Divine Realm. Your actions demonstrated your loyalty to the Divine Realm, silencing any remaining whispers. Yet, your Divine Power was completely depleted, and the Spiritual Imprint suffered immense damage; despite the full efforts of myself and the four Archangels, we were unable to save your life. Fortunately, your Spiritual Imprint was exceptionally strong, surpassing both my and Vincent’s capabilities; despite your physical form having perished, your spirit endured. After several hundred years of restoration, I finally managed to completely gather and smooth out your Spiritual Imprint. To grant you a rebirth and to avert the second catastrophe on the human continent, I used Divine Power to help your Spiritual Imprint reincarnate into the Human world, in a small cold town. Because your reincarnation sealed all your memories, at that time, you seemed somewhat dazed. Later, as your abilities gradually strengthened, your wisdom began to return somewhat. Seeing a version of you so different from the Divine Realm comforted your mother greatly; reincarnated as a human, you became so kindhearted. Perhaps it was destiny’s design, that you wielded the Sword of Hades which you once cast down into the Human world with your own hands; Hades’ Sword was extremely wicked, continuously eroding your body as you used it. Finally, during your confrontation with the Assassin’s Guild, the Evil Aura erupted. You were truly in peril then; should your mortal body in the Human world perish, even I would be powerless to save you. Luckily, there was a young lady by your side, named Mie Feng, whose devout singing opened a crack leading to the Divine Realm, albeit exceedingly tiny, yet sufficient. I urgently activated my Spiritual Imprint to reach your side, aiding you in enhancing your spiritual abilities. By your own strength, you finally resolved the crisis. My child! Though you have regained your memory now, you shall never forget all that transpired in the Human World. Now, you are still the Grim Reaper, but a benevolent Grim Reaper." Ah Dai seemed unusually calm, struggling to stand from God Siya’s embrace, he spoke softly, "Mom, what is the situation outside now? How were you able to arrive in time to rescue me?"
Sylvia observed Ah Dai, who appeared to have reverted to his former self, standing calmly at his side, and said, "Years ago, through our research, we left an incantation on the continent using Holy Power as a medium. With this incantation, we could open a portal from the Human world to the Divine Realm. However, activating the incantation required an enormous energy, necessitating the sacrifice of a human proficient in Holy Magic. In your time of crisis, the present Pope burned his own life to successfully open the portal, allowing us to arrive in time."
Ah Dai trembled all over, muttering, "The Pope, has he died? He died for me."
Sylvia softly said, "Child, do not dwell too much on it; though he has passed, I have preserved his Spiritual Imprint. After everything ends, he has two choices: to rebuild his physical body with my assistance, returning to life in the Human world, or to ascend to the Divine Realm, becoming a Sky God. He has sacrificed so greatly for peace, how could we treat him unjustly?"
Ah Dai slowly nodded, saying, "If that’s the case, then I can be at ease. What about Yue Yue? What can be done for Yue Yue? Her soul has been taken by Hades, do we still have a chance to rescue her?"
Sylvia nodded, saying, "There is a chance, though it’s quite difficult. Vincent has indeed captured Yue Yue’s soul, but he hasn’t yet had time to consume it; if we can defeat them, we can reclaim Yue Yue’s soul and allow her to be reborn. It’s unfortunate that my Divine Power is so greatly diminished; otherwise, if we mother and son joined forces, we could surely defeat Vincent. Do you remember Yue Yue? She was originally Ruo Lin, the Goddess of Dreams and Illusions in our Divine Realm, one of the twelve principal gods. Back in the Divine Realm, she was the only one among the gods who didn’t mock you. Although you lacked a handsome appearance, she always secretly admired you. But due to your aloofness, you were unwilling to approach her. When you returned from the Netherworld critically injured and near death, Ruo Lin wept countless tears for you. When I decided to send you to the Human world, she decided to accompany you to reincarnate as human, she truly cared for you, do not fail her. Through the threads of fate, you two finally reunited in the Human world."
Ah Dai’s expression fluctuated slightly, then calmly he looked at Sylvia, saying softly, "Your Divine Power is greatly diminished? Is it because of me?"
Sylvia shook her head, saying, "It’s not because of you. Over these thousand years, I devised an incantation to temporarily imprison the Demon Clan. By using this incantation, I have temporarily imprisoned Vincent and his men completely. However, the incantation also cost me the majority of my Divine Power, so I have only a fraction of my power left and cannot possibly confront Vincent. The Imprisonment Barrier is about to be breached by Vincent; we have little time left. As long as you can hold them off for a while, once my Divine Power is restored, we can repel the Demon Clan."
