Chapter 579 Father In Law
Destiny looked back with a smile on her face and blood dripping from her mouth. "See…. It was good I was he….."
The man snorted and tossed Destiny away. Blake, who was in a state of confusion, still reacted quickly and appeared behind his daughter and caught her. He looked at her eyes, which seemed to be void of life, and felt like the world was about to collapse.
He looked up at the devil, who had appeared with murderous eyes. "You dared to harm her…. You dared to harm one of my daughters!"
"Haha, why wouldn't I dare!? The ways of my kind is the strong make the rules. This means even your daughters are not saf…."
"Stop…." Blake's aura surged forth. His eyes turned solid black. Nothing moved. Nothing made a sound except for the shallow breathing that came from Destiny's mouth.
Blake's body seemed to have aged greatly. He no longer looked young and healthy but instead looked much older. He flew over and stood in front of Joy and tapped her forehead.? Joy's eyes blinked in confusion, but quickly noticed something wrong. "Papa!? Why?"
"It's fine. Take your sister back to your mothers. Tell them to do everything they can to save her. And tell them… I am sorry…." Blake's eyes turned slightly red as he gently passed Destiny to Joy and caressed Joy's face.? "It's time for your father to make a world where you can live happily in a safe world."
With these words, Blake tapped Joy's forehead once more and made her disappear. He could feel his life force slowly fading. In order to stop time in his weakened state, he had no choice but to use everything thing he had, including his own life force. Blake looked back at the devil that had been frozen in time and waved his hand. The devil's body suddenly disappeared into the air, and at the same time, Blake's body grew ever older. He now had many wrinkles and was much skinnier than before.
"Cough…" Blood spilled from his mouth as Blake went to take a step forward. He was going to end it all. End everything. He would erase all the devils from Earth even if it meant his own life force would be snuffed out like a candle that had lost its wick.
"Are you really going to die like this?" A voice entered Blake's ears. He turned to look at Anu standing there. This surprised Blake a little, but then he realized Anu's strength was far above his own, much stronger than any of his wives.
"For a world filled with peace. For a world that my family can live in without worry. I will do anything. Even if I must burn up my life here and now, I will do it. Destiny is on the verge of death. She has her entire life ahead of her. As long as she is saved, she can live a long life in a world her father prepared for her." Blake's sincere words resonated with Anu. He took a deep breath, looked at the man in front of him, and nodded his head.
"In all my years as the ruling god, I have always tried to make the right decisions. I have always tried to make it so that the gods never overstepped their bounds. But it is not easy to control so many at once. But you… You have done what I could not. You have made the gods submit to you under a contract that even I can not oppose." Anu gave Blake a meaningful look.
"So…. I will do something that I never thought I would do." Anu touched his chest and pulled out what looked like a golden orb. But Blake could feel great power coming from it. "This is my source. It is the course of the first god appointed to this realm, and now I pass it on to you. It will be your job from now on to protect this world. With this source, you will also have better control over time."
Blake stared at the golden orb and was unable to react before Anu suddenly pushed it into him. A burst of godly power surged out of Blake, wrapping his entire body. His power surged forth as he looked up at Anu in shock.
Anu smiled. "I will use the last of my power to seal the gate. It will be the last thing I do as a god. As you are now my heir, I hope you can deal with the rest yourself. The life of a mortal is not easy. You know this best. I leave the mortals to you, and I hope you can lead them down a path that will bring them prosperity."
"This… Why?" The surge of power began to settle down. Blake now looked slightly younger than he originally did. His eyes glowed a golden color. He did not understand why Anu was giving everything up.
"Because you said it yourself. You would make a world where your daughter could live peacefully. I am doing the same. I will allow Ishtar to live in a world where she can live peacefully… but…. Please do not tell her. This is a secret I will take to my grave. You have given her happiness. You have given her a chance to be a mother for a second time. She may not have realized it, but I have already sensed the child brewing inside her. My granddaughter is also the same. So, I leave them both in your caring hands. They are my only family, and I am glad they both fell in love with a man like you." Anu patted Blake's shoulder before floating backward a few feet.
Blake looked at the old man in shock. Anu was Ishtar's father! Blake chuckled softly as he looked at Anu. "Then…. Father in law, I will be sure to protect both of them. They are my wives, after all."
