NOVPUBI was still a little shocked by what I was reading from the notifications, mainly because I realized that they were written by the system and looked more like warning messages than notifications about what had happened.
"(The system did not like Niryna’s birth and literally tied her to me in a way, also warned that I am responsible for her.)" (I)
"(I have to stop having children... my heart won’t bear it like this.)" (I)
Sigh
"Niryna... Niryna... Niryna..." (Niryna)
Niryna still looked perplexed, looking at her hands while repeating her name.
The tone of her voice constantly changed, sometimes sounding like a whisper, other times sounding like a question, and sometimes even sounding like an exclamation.
She was confused, even though her consciousness is returning her memories, mind, senses and emotions must be all a mess, her Aura reveals this as a visible warning, perhaps it is because she was just born.
"How it feels?" (Selene)
"A rubbish... other than that, an even worse rubbish... but discarding all that... still a rubbish..." (I)
"If you still have a sense of humor, then you should be fine, take...drink this." (Selene)
She cuts the pulse near my mouth, it was at its normal size, which looked like a speck of dust floating above me, but when she cut the pulse it was like a waterfall falling into my mouth for a few seconds before stopping, it was absurdly delicious.
And while I was still distracted by that magnificent taste, all my injuries were healing, my Vitality was restoring and even my Soul was returning to normal, all of this happened in seconds.
"This will be enough, how does it feel?" (selene)
When I realized, I was already physically completely recovered, even my Soul had been just a little shaken, it was already recovered, only my mind was tired and my energy was largely depleted, but these things will recover by themselves until tomorrow.
"I’m fine now, thank you." (I)
"But what about her?" (I)
"Just like you when she was born, she is confused, in a body she doesn’t know, with a power she doesn’t understand and with messed up memories." (Selene)
"But unlike you, she has someone as her central pillar... you." (Selene)
"..." (I)
As soon as the Blood Goddess said this, Niryna was already turning her face towards me, her eyes seemed to sink into my flesh until they reached my Soul, I returned to my human form becoming as small as a grain of sand to her and somehow way she did the same as me as if imitating herself.
I even felt her Aura trying to imitate the way I manipulate my Aura, the same with her body movements, she was mirroring everything she saw in me and I was sure she could see very deeply.
Within minutes the improvement was shocking, her Aura became more stable which helped to control her emotions and calm her mind, the energy she released unconsciously was now also under control, of course all of this in a crude way, but it was a start exceptional for someone who was just born.
Callidora didn’t interfere and just watched, but my senses picked up that she was trying to do something, she just didn’t know what it was.
Niryna kept changing the expressions on her face, her eyes never moved and were always focused on me, it seems like she was adapting to her emotions.
She also gradually approached me and I didn’t do anything to stop it, I didn’t say anything either, she was adapting in her own time and on her own in a splendid way.
But as soon as she got close and touched my face, her slightly confused eyes shed tears, she pulled me into a tight hug, smearing my own blood on me, it took her almost 1 hour to calm down and let me go.
"It’s done... take care of her for me, see you soon Zenos... hahahahaha..." (Callidora)
I wanted to talk to Niryna for a bit, but suddenly Callidora’s voice comes from the cracks around us before they all close, Niryna’s Aura and presence fluctuate slightly, but I realize something has changed, then she faints in my arms.
I look at the Blood Goddess who shakes her head before waving her hand, then the next thing I know I’m standing on the throne I was sitting on before, Niryna bathed in my blood snoring in my arms naked and everyone else still they were nearby, most of them still inside the pool of blood I created.
"How long was I gone?" (I)
"Some hours." (Alice)
"I understand." (I)
"Pretty..." (Hinata)
"..." (Vanessa)
"Who is that in your arms?" (Elsaris)
"I feel an Infernal presence emanating from her." (Hela)
"So she was born." (Silvia)
"Congratulations to the master on his new offspring." (Hades)
"Blessings to the master!" (Heralds)
"Thanks." (I)
"Before the questions continue, this is Niryna, yes she is my daughter and she is also Callidora’s daughter." (I)
"..." (all)
Everyone already knew about my future daughter who was yet to be born hidden in my Blood Core, they also knew about Callidora, but upon being informed of her birth and seeing her, everyone was shocked, her presence was as strange as mine and highly Hellish making it difficult for others to approach.
Hela looked highly interested with her eyes shining, Lilith had her eyes locked on Niryna while licking her lips, the others just showed curiosity while Hinata continued to poke her in various places like a child.
The only one who showed extreme fear was Samara, who had her entire body trembling, falling face down on the ground, sweat dripping from her drenched body, her eyes almost watering with fear stamped in her Aura.
But this only lasted a few seconds before she seemed to notice something, so she sighed in relief before wiping the sweat from her face and making the rest of the sweat evaporate, she stood up again with some difficulty, still a little pale and highly vigilant with her eyes locked at Niryna, but she already seemed more scared.
Everyone logically noticed Samara’s extreme reaction and knew who she was, so they were even more curious, but I placed Niryna in Alice’s arms.
"Clean her up and get some clothes, try not to move away." (I)
"..." (Alice)
"All good." (Alice)
Saying so, Alice carefully picked up Niryna as she walked away to a corner of the room where she used magic to wash Niryna’s body gently.
With that resolved, I left some of my Aura senses attached to Alice while I told Nicole, I hadn’t finished the meeting when I was pulled by the Goddess of Blood.
I needed to know what Nicole did and since there never seemed to be time for anything, I couldn’t waste a second as another unexpected event could happen and I still had other things to do.
"Let’s get back to what we were talking about before, everyone can talk to Niryna later." (I)
"Nicole, tell me what book you brought and why the Church of Light wants to find it so much? Give me your report on what you’ve been doing." (I)
Nicole, who since before I was taken by the Blood Goddess, was surrounded by holographic screens and only diverted her attention momentarily to see Niryna as well as Samara’s extreme reaction, suddenly turns off most of her screens with only shrinking to stand in the palm of her hand as she calmly turned to me.
"When everyone left for their respective missions, I thought it would be good to put some of my creations to the field test during the war." (Nicole)
"I can be a little compulsive in accumulating information, I don’t deny that small flaw." (Nicole)
"Small flaw?" (Elsaris)
"You are worse than Father with your curiosity, always sending us the worst missions, a true maniac." (Samira)
"You have repeatedly caused chaos in the war by going off-plan by making excuses that were for research purposes." (Vanessa)
"Most of the War Demigods want to strangle her and 2 among them actually tried." (Magnus)
"As I was saying..." (Nicole)
"(Hi, hi, hi... are you really going to ignore everything they said?)" (I)
While everyone was talking, her expression didn’t change once, her skin really is thick.
"As I was saying, I wanted to test some things during the war, but I also ended up collecting a lot of information, as the war was spread across several different planets and Star Systems, we had to move a lot, which served to collect information from various sources." (Nicole)
"That’s when I realized that the Church of Light had an extremely large number of Soldiers, an abnormally large number." (Nicole)
"Just you noticed that?" (I)
"No, many realized this fact, I learned that the God of War was confused about this as he did not understand where these troops came from when he knew of every war that the Church of Light has fought in the last millennia and had a clear sense of the strength Baldr’s military." (Magnus)
"Even if the number is big, they are weak individually, they mainly use strategy to make those numbers count." (Vanessa)
"As you can see, the numbers are so abnormal that even the Gods noticed." (Nicole)
"(I don’t like where this is going...)" (I)
The war really was strange since I heard about it, there are more Gods against Baldr than on his side, but still the Divine War was at a stalemate, I found it strange from the beginning knowing that some Gods did not drag out a war unnecessarily or reason.
I am only now beginning to understand that there are dark waters in this war.
