The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 224

Chapter 224

TL: Zimmings

“In exchange for seeking power that humans should not covet, he lost his sense of reason and goodwill. Existing only as a consciousness for a long time, he has evolved into a more terrifying monster than the previous one. All he could think about was his goal at this point. His goal is to become a perfect god, which includes killing you and resurrecting you as his doll. He is chaos which only remembers these two things.”

“The pioneers have received wisdom from God, but why did they follow Neliard?”

“They are also a human. Greed exists in every human being.”

“Also, why does Storas despise Meria and refer to her as a traitor? You didn’t reveal that I’m Neliard’s sister?”

“Love tends to obscure logic. When the person you care about jumps into someone else’s arms and dies right in front of your eyes, isn’t that heartbreaking to witness? After some time, his adoration turned into resentment.”

“Neliard’s purpose is to become a perfect god, isn’t it?”

“Yes. He wanted to devour me whole.”

“No, but why did he have to sacrifice me to devour you? It’s not like I have your power? wait, I don’t know, do I? God’s power?”

“I’ve been sleeping for a long time. I could only see the world through the eyes of the child I had chosen. How could I keep an eye on you like that?”

“Did you fall asleep inside of me?”

He walked away with a grin on his face and a pat on the back of my head.

“I don’t have much time left. Do you want to continue asking questions?”

“Adrian is only a human, so how could he possibly have the ability to seal the power of God?”

“He’s a smart kid. Rather than sealing the power, he obstructed the path via which the power could be released instead. Aside from that, he comes from a very special bloodline.”

“Special bloodline… Does it have anything to do with the fact that the first emperor was a Shayman?”

“He’s the first descendant of a human being I ever made. That’s why he’s special.”

“Why did you choose me? I am Neliard’s younger sister. You never thought I’d agree with Neliard? Besides, I’m not exactly a pioneer either…”

“A pioneer is a being who guides humankind. You are a pioneer because you have traveled in ancient times and saved countless lives, and you have led them on the right path.”

“But I didn’t have any power.”

“Do you think so?”

He came to a complete stop and fixed his gaze on me.

“Yes. In the past you showed me, I couldn’t manifest my powers.”

“At the last moment, you manifested your powers.”

“What exactly is my power? To summon devils?”

“That’s the power of God.”

“Otherwise, I don’t have any power. At best, regression… huh?”

He smiled when I finally realized.

‘You mean the regression wasn’t by God? My power was regression?’

“What! I’d rather summon a dead soul like Boone or browse records like Storas! This is discrimination! Neliard manifested a power similar to God, but why am I…!”

As I screamed, God gently stroked my head.

“Power is the most precious value considered by the pioneers. What you value the most is that.”

“Is regression the best value in my opinion?”

“Didn’t you say once that everyone should have a chance?”

“Chance……. So regression is a chance?”

“Yes.”

I took a deep breath.

It seems that I brought this upon myself.

“So, here’s the last question. Why doesn’t Storas recognize me? He has no idea that I am Neliard’s younger sister, and neither does Boone, Pymon, or Pur.”

“It’s the price of being a devil.”

“… They have no recollection since they become a devil?”

“When they become devils, their memories are distorted as desired. Just as Stroras resented you, he thus twisted you into a traitor.”

“Forgetting is their punishment…?”

“Sometimes they tore the flesh of their beloved lover, their children, their acquaintances because they couldn’t recognize their souls. That’s how they lost their humanity.”

Oh my God.

What kind of punishment is that?

“It’s cruel…….”

God’s expression became more gloomy.

At that moment, the space became distorted, and God’s voice faded.

I looked around in amazement. I felt the power of Neliard just like I felt in the past that God showed me.

“Serga!”

“Child. My children… Salvation… Special being… You…”

Serga’s voice had faded gradually, and he turned into a tiny lump of light. The light, which was dimming progressively, disappeared completely.

[Love.]

He only left me with one word.

Then I realized that he had used up all of his remaining power to meet me.

I used to believe that God was merely using me, but it turns out that I am very much loved.

I sat down as tears continued to flow.

***

“……Laine.”

“Leblaine!”

Gasp!

I opened my eyes, took a deep breath, and looked around.

I could see the faces of my families who were worried.

‘My room…….’

It seems that I have returned from the space.

“I…… How long…… Sleep…….”

No, why is my voice like this!

My throat is parched, so I can’t speak properly, and my body can’t move properly because of my stiff muscles.

Isaac, who appeared to be much thinner than the last time I saw him, locked his gaze on me.

‘I think I’m going to get in trouble.’

After I said that, Isaac wrapped his arms around me.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to open your eyes like this forever… Do you have any idea how much we…”

It was the first time I had seen Isaac, who was always cheerful, trembled softly.

As Isaac wrapped his arms around me, I took a look at my family.

Henry, Johann, and my aunt’s expressions were also painfully distorted.

Henry bit his dry lips and fought back the tears, barely opening his mouth.

“It has been two months. You’ve been sleeping for two months.”

What?

Johann leaned his forehead against mine and sighed as I stared at him in disbelief.

“The doctors say there’s no problem, but you didn’t open your eyes.”

I slowly turned my head.

My dad had a stoic expression on his face as he looked at me.

“I…….”

I coughed and cleared my throat.

“It’s not like that on purpose. It’s all because of God. Really!”

“…….”

“But, I’m sorry for worrying you…”

I lowered my head and mumbled as my dad covered my head with his large hand.

“It’s okay because you woke up.”

Tears began to fill up in my eyes. I have the family I’ve yearned for since the dawn of time now.

‘I don’t think my power is bad. After all, this gave me back my family.’

I was held in my dad’s arms, and Isaac, who had hugged me first, shouted, “I hugged her first!”

And after some time,

The door swung open and revealed Cecilia with her tiara laying on top of her head.

“Lady, I was so worried……!”

Cecilia, who was standing behind dad’s back, caught my attention.

She looked stunning in her dress and tiara.

“Did you get married? Have you become an empress?”

“Lady…….”

While I was sleeping, I’m sure there was a lot of work going on.

‘Wait a minute, what about Storas?’

The moment I turned my head, I noticed Storas floating in the air.

“This filthy bastard.”

Lard Stor, the pioneer whom I first saw in ancient times, was a much nicer man.

He’s a naive guy who distorted the memory of the woman he loved because he had nothing negative to say about her.

I was also the one who helped him become a better pioneer.

He manifested his powers, but the humans in the jurisdiction seldom followed him, so he nearly became a trainee again.

If I had not healed the people and spread rumors that he was saving people with herbal remedies, they would not have trusted him, who was arrogant.

‘But he distorted his memory and said that I was the traitor who stole the cure?’

As I narrowed my eyes, Storas shouted.

[What?]

“When did Meria betray you? You betrayed yourself.”

[What nonsense…!]

“Give me the records of the pioneers right now. And the devil’s passages.”

[The article will be published shortly. It was put on hold because you fell-]

“M-Meria. I have something to tell you today. My ribs hurt when I see you.”

[How do you……!]

Storas’s face was red in embarrassment.

“Me-Meria. A sore rib doesn’t mean it hurts, I mean, so I… Seeing you… So…”

“Stop, stop!”

Storas, whom everyone can see now, dashed over and covered my mouth with his hands.

I pushed it away and laughed.

“When we publish an article about Meria, we will also publish an article called Purity of Lard Stor.”

“This obnoxious little bastard! How could you……!”

“…….”

I wanted to cry after I said so. He is entirely unaware that Meria is standing in front of him.
