Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Echidna Childrens

Goddess Zyraena gestured towards the sofa with a gentle nod. "Sit down, Han Seojun. There's much you need to understand."

Seojun watched as Goddess Zyraena snapped her fingers, and an ancient kitchen appeared around them, its rustic charm reminiscent of a time long past. Without a word, Zyraena turned her back to him and began preparing tea, her movements graceful and deliberate. Seojun could only see her back as she worked, but there was something comforting about the way she moved.

After a few moments, Goddess Zyraena turned and walked toward him, holding a single cup of tea. She sat down beside Seojun and handed him the cup, her smile so innocent and pure that it almost took him by surprise. Her expression radiated warmth and sincerity, devoid of any hidden motives.

Seojun noticed that she had only made one cup of tea. As he took it, he asked, "How about you?"

"No, I'm fine," Zyraena replied, her smile never wavering. "I really made it just for you."

Seojun took a sip of the tea and said, "It's good." As he drank, his blue eyes started to sparkle, then slowly darkened to a deep blue. He rubbed his eyes, trying to clear his vision. When he looked at Goddess Zyraena again, she seemed even more beautiful than before, almost glowing with an ethereal light.

Zyraena noticed his reaction and couldn't help but smile. She moved closer to him until their sides were touching, the warmth of her presence making Seojun's heart beat just a little faster. She gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and leaned in, her lips close to his ear.

"You will listen to me, right?" she whispered softly.

Seojun, almost unconsciously, nodded and muttered, "Yes," before suddenly shaking his head as if trying to clear his thoughts. Something felt off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Goddess Zyraena slowly moved away, giving him some space as she watched him carefully, her smile still gentle and reassuring.

"What you witnessed was more than just a story. It was a glimpse into the origins of your system, the very foundation of the power you now wield." She began

Seojun turned to her, his eyes searching for answers. "The system... it was once the Book, wasn't it? The same cursed artifact born from Typhon's soul?"

She nodded slowly, her expression somber. "Yes, the system you rely on was once a vessel of destruction and chaos, created from Typhon's greed and hunger for power. But it was also tempered by the pain, love, and hope of those who came into contact with it. What you saw was a fragment of the truth, the history that shaped the world you now walk in."

Zyraena's gaze grew distant, as if she were looking back into the past. "Echidna's love for Typhon was her greatest strength, but also her greatest weakness. She couldn't see the darkness growing within him until it was too late. And the girl she saved, Yuna... she inherited that darkness, along with the power of the Book.

Her pain and desire for revenge transformed the book, turning it into a tool that could either save or destroy the world."

Seojun sat quietly, thinking about everything Goddess Zyraena had just told him. The more he thought about it, the more questions he had.

"Goddess Zyraena," Seojun began, looking at her seriously, "what is this all about?

Goddess Zyraena looked at Seojun with a sad expression. She gently took his hands in hers. "Seojun, there's something very important I need you to do. Please, find their children. You're the only one I can trust to do this."

Seojun frowned in confusion. "Their children? Who are you talking about?"

Goddess Zyraena let go of his hands and stood up. With a snap of her fingers, the darkness around them disappeared, and several images appeared in the air. Each one showed a powerful and unique creature.

"These are the children of Goddess Echidna and God Typhon," Zyraena explained. "They were born from two of the most powerful beings, but after Typhon's defeat, the gods began using these children for their own purposes."

The first image showed a fierce, three-headed dog with fiery eyes, guarding a dark gate. Seojun's eyes widened, and he muttered, "Huno?"

Goddess Zyraena nodded. "Yes, this Cerberus is Huno. You've already found two of them."

Goddess Zyraena waved her hand, and the image shifted to a nine-headed creature with silver scales and a dragon's body. "This is the Hydra, cursed by the gods to live in pain, fighting endless battles."

Seojun's heart skipped a beat. "Silla," he thought to himself.

Zyraena smiled softly. "Yes, as you can see, you've already found two of the children. And these are the others."

She pointed to the remaining images.

A new image formed, showing a creature Fox with Nine tails covered in White fur, often with glowing eyes and sharp, menacing teeth. It's size is the same a Cat.

"This is Nymira, A Majestic Fox."

The next creature was a massive lion with impenetrable skin. "This is the Nemean Lion, defeated by Heracles, but still used by the gods for their own ends."

Next, A majestic creature with the head, wings, and talons of an eagle, combined with the body, hind legs, and tail of a lion. It has a sharp, hooked beak, piercing eyes, powerful feathered wings, and strong front talons, while its muscular body and hindquarters are covered in tawny lion fur. "And this is Griffin."

Finally, a colossal serpent dragon coiled around a tree of golden apples appeared. "And this is Ladon, the dragon who once guarded the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides, now reduced to a mere tool for the gods."

Seojun looked at all the creatures, feeling a deep sense of responsibility. "Why are you showing me this, Goddess? What can I do for them?"

Zyraena's eyes filled with hope as she looked at Seojun. "These children are suffering, Seojun. They were born into a world that fears them, and the gods have made their lives even worse. They need someone who can see beyond their appearances, someone who can help them find freedom. That person is you."

Seojun took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her words. "I'll do it," he finally said. "I'll find them and help them."

Goddess Zyraena smiled, her relief clear. "Thank you, Seojun. I knew I could count on you."

"Remember, you're not alone. The system, your companions, and even I will be with you."

she whispered softly,

She placed a hand on his shoulder, then gently moved it to his cheek, her fingers lingering as she held his gaze. Slowly, she leaned in closer, her breath warm against his skin. Their lips were just about to touch

As their lips were just about to touch, Seojun muttered,

"Is that what you expect me to say?" The words hung in the air between them, a hint of mischief in his tone.

Suddenly, She felt a dangerous aura from Seojun. Alarmed, she pulled back, Her eyes widened slightly.

Without another word, she spread her wings and flew away.
