BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109: Seems Like a Happy Family
"James are you here?!" came a shout from outside the cave.
"Yes!" shouted James and then four people entered the cave.
Nemesis, Ariel, Theseus and Perseus were standing just to the left of James. When the four of them looked at James, he was in a completely relaxed position, Ariel fell to the ground as if her legs were no longer holding her and Theseus put one arm around Perseus and smiled.
Nemesis just stood there with a perfect, cute and refreshing smile.
"You look good," Nemesis said, and James smiled and replied, "I was a mess, auto-heal is a useful thing."
Nemesis couldn\'t hold himself back any longer as she walked over to James and then sat down next to him, resting her head on James\' shoulder.
"You have no idea how scared I was..." Nemesis said, and James, hearing this, smiled and said "Yeah yeah I love you too." and fell silent.
Then, as if something had suddenly occurred to him, he said, "Ah! By the way, we have a daughter, Nemesis." Nemesis and the others seemed quite surprised by this.
James calmly woke Miracle, who was sleeping on his leg, and then said, "Would you please transform into human form?"
Miracle\'s body glowed again as soon as she heard this, and then she stood in front of James and Nemesis as she had first hatched from the egg.
"Is this THE Supreme Dragon?" Nemesis asked, and hearing this, James said, "Yes, it\'s mine and yours, our daughter."
Nemesis looked at Miracle with great surprise and said, "Umm, does this girl look like me or am I imagining things?"
"She looks like both of us, the Supreme Dragon egg looks like its owner and owner\'s mate," James said and Nemesis realised that her heart was pounding, she didn\'t know whether to be happy that James saw her as his mate or happy that there was tangible proof of it.
"At least you gave her some clothes...We still need to find better quality ones...I guess I\'ll have to go to Hephaestus." Nemesis said, and James, hearing this, shook his head and said, "I don\'t know if you believe it, but she hatched with these clothes."
These words seemed to surprise everyone once again, even James was still puzzled about it, but everyone seemed to know that this strange conversation had to end.
James took Miracle gently by the hand and then said, "Miracle, this is your mum."
Miracle looked at Nemesis for a few seconds, then slowly walked over and sat down on Nemesis\' knees. The little girl looked a little uncomfortable, after all, Nemesis was wearing her crystal armour.
James, however, slowly tried to get to his feet and realised that his head was spinning massively, he had lost a lot of blood and it was not a good thing that auto-healing was not working.
Seeing that James had lost his balance, Theseus suddenly lunged forward and took James gently by the arm.
"Thank you Theseus, I\'m sorry, you\'re seeing me at my weakest..." James said and Theseus smiled and said "Are you kidding? This is the strongest you have ever been." trying to explain to James the enormity of what he had achieved.
"Hah! Indeed it is like that! We can\'t even tell you how many gods and goddesses are looking in your direction, Master James! Even the enemies of Olympus are on their knees thanking you!
It turns out that everyone has a few pieces of what they hold dear on the 5th floor, yet the fact that no one but the likes of us can leave this floor is a death sentence for them!" Perseus suddenly said with a bright smile on his face, and then gently began to carry Ariel, who was sitting on the floor, like a princess.
"Then let\'s go! Lady Nemesis will carry young lady Miracle, Theseus will carry James and I will carry Lady Ariel, we have a long way to go." Perseus added, his face radiating happiness, he had a very strange yet funny personality.
When Theseus took James on his back, James involuntarily lost his ability to endure and closed his eyes, he was so tired that there was no way to explain it.
He had trained with Chronos for 5 days, but because of the time slowdown in the time field, James had tried to gain mastery over his time element for almost 290 hours without sleeping.
He was very tired indeed, and all that training and fighting, with all the attention and magic and mana energy he had expended, had left him close to death.
There was no need to describe how much blood he had lost, he was really in a terrible state.
While James fainted and people were returning, at the top of the tower, in what the gods called the void, Chronos was talking to the supreme being himself.
"I don\'t understand, you blocked everyone\'s memories, including your own daughter? You have wiped the man\'s face. Chaos, are you telling me that you\'ve erased from the records someone who\'s killed more gods than I, Ra, Erebus and the others?!?!?!?"
Chronos had been talking to Chaos non-stop for almost two hours, he had learnt, or rather remembered, secrets he should have kept and truths he should not have known.
He understood that all of this was being kept for James, but not all of Chronos\' questions had been answered by Chaos, there were still dozens of mysteries and just as many questions.
It was inconceivable that Chaos and that man had worked together to erase the memories of all the gods and even the tower itself.
What exactly was the Creator trying to do? What was the all-purpose of doing those things?
