Chapter 106: Destiny.
The door was opened.
The woman who opened the door had beautiful long black hair, oval-shaped face with rose-colored lips. She has above-average sized breasts and a beautiful white dress that left her legs wide open.
''Jack...'' Sophia murmured with an emotional gaze.
Jack's hands trembled. He took a step forwards and hugged his deceased wife's body.
''I am sorry... If I was stronger...'' Tears left Jack's eyes.
Sophia returned the warm embrace with a gentle smile, ''It wasn't your fault...''
Teardrops trickled down his handsome face, he tried to stop them, but 4 years' worth of tears left his eyes.
Sophia gently patted his back, ''Come in... There is someone waiting for you.'' She grabbed Jack's hand and dragged him inside the house.
Jack entered the house, and a familiar smell assaulted his senses. But, the scent had some differences.
''Jasmine?'' Sophia gently asked for her daughter. She looked towards the living room and had an amused smile.
Jack appeared next to her and looked towards the living room, he saw a tiny piece of black hair showing behind a chair, but the individual who had that black hair was hiding.
''Wait for a sec.'' Sophia gently said towards Jack. She walked next to the chair, she crouched, and started whispering towards the individual.
Jack perked up his ears and heard an innocent voice full of youthfulness and innocence.
Sophia grabbed a small hand and stood up. Soon, a little girl with black hair left her 'hiding' spot.
She still hid behind Sophia's leg with a small blush on her soft-looking cheeks. Her face was like a porcelain doll, with delicate facial features.
''Jacky, this is Jasmine.'' Sophia gently said. Her face was full of love when she looked at the short little girl.
''M-My name is Jaswmine.'' She bit her tongue when she was trying to introduce herself. Her face changed shades to bright red, she hid her whole body while hitting her small head, 'Stupid, stupid, stupid.'
Sophia put her hand over her mouth and giggled.
''Mouu...'' Jasmine pouted, ''Don't laugh, mommy...''
''Right! I made some food. It's your favorite, Jacky.'' Sophia said cheerfully and hopped towards the kitchen, leaving a shy little girl and God of Rage and Life alone in the room.
Jasmine didn't dare to look Jack in the eye. She shyly twirled her hair while trying to look around the room.
That made her look even more adorable.
''Well.... my name is Jack, nice to meet you.'' Jack crouched and put his hand as a handshake.
''U-Umm... N-Nice to meet you.'' Jasmine shyly shook his hand, but then Jack pulled her closer.
His muscular figure hugged the petite and short figure.
Jasmine became silent, her cheeks dyed in pink out of embarrassment, but she also felt a warmth which she hadn't felt before... Father's warmth.
Sophia took a peek from the kitchen and saw them hugging. She smiled gently and kept cooking.
Jack stopped hugging the small figure of his daughter. He doesn't really know how to act around her. Sure, he feels comfortable fighting Gods and all kinds of monsters, but he doesn't know how to act around this little girl.
He doesn't know whether she hates him for not being present.
It would break his heart if she did.
But then, Jasmine grabbed his hand, ''W-Wanna see my room?'' She asked while her bright blue eyes pierced through Jack's heart.
''Yes, I would love to.'' He let Jasmine drag him towards the upstairs.
Sophia looked with amusement towards him.
Jack wryly smiled and went past the kitchen with Jasmine.
Soon, they arrived in her room. There was a large bed, much larger than Jasmine's body. There was also a wardrobe with her own bathroom, the walls of the room were red-colored, and so was the blanket in the bed. It already tells what her favorite color is.
Dozens of dolls and toys were located on small boxes, with a bounty poster on the wall.
Jack looked at the bounty poster and saw it was his!
It was a new version as well.
[Dead Or Alive]
[Jack Wrathelm - The Death of Paradise]
[Bounty: 2,792,605,325$]
[Kindland's Wanted List Rank: 1]
[Global Wanted List Rank: 1]
[Villain Rank: Death-Moon]
Jasmine shyly tried to hide the bounty poster with her tiny arms.
''M-Mommy found this...'' She shyly said, but Jack saw her ears being bright red.
She was lying.
Jack smiled with amusement, ''Is that so... I didn't know the bounty posters came all the way here.''
''A-A lot things do...''
Jack nodded and looked around the room.
''W-Why are you called as Death of Paradise?'' Jasmine asked curiously.
''It is a title, but it also means that I have the power to kill Paradise,'' Jack said nonchalantly.
''Jacky!'' Sophia appeared behind Jack and slapped him in the head.
''Oof!'' Jack held his head, he didn't feel pain, but he knew how to deal with Sophia.
Jasmine giggled.
''You have always been a block of ice! That's now how you talk with a child.'' Sophia sternly said.
Jack scratched his head, he and Jasmine looked at each other, and both of them shrugged.
Sophia sighed. She rubbed her forehead and said, ''Food is ready.''
''Food!'' Jasmine cheered and left the room.
They followed behind her. Both of them saw Jasmine sitting at the table while stuffing food on her tiny mouth.
Sophia chuckled and sat next to her.
Jack sat in front of Jasmine.
He looked at the food in front of him and felt incredibly familiar...
He took the first bite, and he already felt crying. It was the same food he had dreamed about for so long.
Soon, he emptied the plate, but so did Jasmine.
''Ahh...'' Both of them sighed with satisfaction in unison.
Sophia giggled. She patted Jasmine's head and said gently, ''Go to your room. I will have something to talk about with your daddy.''
''But I don't want to!'' Jasmine pouted.
Sophia rubbed her soft cheeks, ''No desert.''
''Now that I think about it, I forgot to clean my room!'' Jasmine stood up and towards her room with her short limbs.
Jack chuckled and shook his head.
''She resembles you a lot,'' Sophia said with a sad smile.
Jack put his fork on the table. He opened his mouth and said, ''Sophia... I...''
Sophia waved her hand, ''Don't... Your place is next to Ariane.''
''I-I still love you, I never stopped loving you,'' Jack said with a pained face.
Sophia grabbed his hand and said gently, ''I love you... But... Your true place is next to Ariane, and I know that you love her...''
Jack lowered his head, ''It is because Heavens, isn't it?''
Sophia sadly smiled, ''We will cease to exist if we intervene with the outside world too much... But, you can still visit us, Jasmine is still your daughter, and she loves you a lot. Please, bring Ariane next time as well.''
Jack sighed and nodded. He grabbed Sophia's hand tighter and said, ''I will find a way for you to leave Heavens one day... Maybe both of my daughters will become friends.''
Sophia gently smiled, ''Just... Don't be obsessed about it... Ariane needs you more than ever before.''
Jack looked outside the window and nodded, ''She should give birth soon...''
''Then, what are you doing here?'' Sophia sternly said, but a gentle look was on her face, ''Next time you visit, bring the baby as well.''
Jack turned his head towards the upstairs, ''Jasmine, you can come now.''
Jasmine appeared in the kitchen with teary eyes, ''D-Daddy, you are leaving?''
Sophia sadly smiled. She and Jasmine did perfectly well together, but Jasmine always wanted to meet her father.
Jack stood up and walked towards Jasmine.
He crouched in front of her and wiped her tears, ''You are getting sister soon.''
''S-S-Sister?'' Jasmine asked with a slight sobbing tone, but also some happiness in her eyes.
Jack smiled. He kissed her delicate forehead and said, ''I will return soon, and then you will be able to meet your sister and another mother!''
''Another mommy?'' Jasmine looked towards Sophia with curiosity, ''Two mommies?''
Sophia giggled and nodded, ''Her name is Ariane. You will love her.''
''Waaah!'' Jasmine exclaimed. She hugged Jack's head and shouted, ''Come back soon, daddy!''
Jack kissed her head and stood up.
Sophia and Jasmine followed behind him as he left the house.
Jack looked towards the sky and said, ''Heavens, protect them, please.''
*Rumble*
A sound of rumbling came from the sky.
''Thanks,'' Jack said and started floating away from the ground.
A small teardrops left Sophia's and Jasmine's eyes, their long-awaited meeting ended on short notice, but they had time to meet many times.
Jack looked at them one more time. He smiled and started flying out of the Heavens.
His long journey from Charity to the Heavens Neighborhood has ended.
His long journey as a villain has come to an end.
His next journey as God has only begun.
The first step in his journey is the birth of his second daughter.
The second step is to see has Humanity changed.
The third step is to see how the new races are doing.
He needs to somehow make Humanity accept them
But that's his job...
His job as a God of Rage and Life.
He is one of the reasons they were born.
Being God of Rage, he can control others' emotions.
He can reduce their rage or increase it.
But... He is planning to make sure that no one makes the same mistakes as he did because of rage.
Maybe...
This was really his Destiny.
Destiny to fix his mistakes.
He killed over three million citizens from Charity.
But because of him... Dozens of new races were introduced to the world.
Millions of new lives were born because of him.
Destiny.... Is sometimes a mysterious thing.
