My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 254 Damn, I better just stick to playing video games

Ethan was about to enjoy a long overdue deep sleep, but he paused in front of his computer screen. A message caught his eye.

[Your descendant's wife Helen has given birth to a son after nine months, named Adam.]

Ethan quickly switched the view.

[North Sea City·Coastal Village]

It was a small village located north of the Emerald Emperor, close to the sea, where every household dried fish outside.

Helen, once the lady of the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion and now a Blackwood, stood barefoot on the beach in a simple yellow shirt, holding a child. She let the sea splash against her shins as she gazed out at the sparkling water.

"Nicholas, you never saw the sea in your lifetime. Now, with your Psychic Position facing the ocean, you can see it as much as you want."

As she spoke, she playfully teased the child in her arms. "Adam, from now on, it's just you and me, living happily and safely, okay? Little Adam?"

Ethan remained silent for a long time. Helen left with the child, and everyone in the family knew and did not try to stop her. She feared that little Adam might end up like Nicholas.

"It's for the best, I hope they live happily," Ethan thought. Everyone has different dreams, and Ethan couldn't stop a mother's wish.

Then, he contacted Nathan. Upon hearing the news, Nathan, like Ethan, fell into a long silence before finally sighing deeply. "Forebearer, without Nicholas, perhaps our Blackwood family would still be on the run, and the entire Cloudview County might have been swallowed by the Druids. How could we have today? Our whole family owes them."

The Exploding Sky Serpent, Charlie Crackle, appeared, conveying Ethan's message, "Master says, do not disturb, protect them discreetly."

"Yes!"

Soon after, Nathan called upon Drunken Fool, who appeared tipsy and glanced at Nathan. "Brother Nathan, this is a tough one. That's North Sea City; just traveling there takes a month, not to mention how long we might need to protect them. It's also close to the imperial capital. As a magic practitioner, one wrong move and I could lose my life."

"A land-level technique, Azure Cloud Unfallen," Nathan said calmly.

"You've been at the peak of Developing Skill for years, already beginning to condense your spiritual infant but hindered by mediocre techniques and lacking external aids to withstand the heavenly tribulation. This mission to protect the mother and child is a perfect opportunity to comprehend the technique.

When you return to Cloudview County, my Blackwood family will help you advance to Competent Force."

"As for the dangers, take my Sky Corpse with you. This Sky Corpse, named Donald, possesses the secret methods of the Dragon family and can be summoned in times of trouble."

At this, Drunken Fool angrily retorted, "Nathan, you underestimate me, Drunken Fool. Even without these things, just based on our families' relationship, I would still undertake this journey!"

A day later.

North Sea City saw the opening of a new tea house run by a beautiful woman who rarely showed herself. From inside the tea house, the cries of a baby could be heard. Outside, a perpetually drunk old beggar wandered around with broken bowls and chopsticks, counting the days.

"I hope you and your son have the most carefree life," Ethan sent his blessings to Helen and her child before lying down in bed, pulling the covers over himself, and just as he was about to close his eyes, his body stiffened.

"Ring, ring..."

Picking up his phone, he saw the caller ID and for the first time felt that having no friends outside was actually a good thing.

"Hello, Ms. Joshua, why are you calling again? I'm a lost cause, the kind beyond saving. You should save your team spot for someone with talent. If you really need someone, I know a guy, he was in the top school competition, had a powerful Psychic Constitution. If it weren't for him being kidnapped during the competition, he would have won."

"After our last conversation, I've thought a lot," Orion's voice was grave. "Our team's founder used to say, in archaeology, you dig where you stand. Talent isn't important; if you're lucky enough to unearth an ancient predecessor, your life could change. Ethan, you're a good kid, don't give up on yourself."

You think you're our founder, George?

Ethan rolled his eyes, pondering how to decline.

"Boom!"

A loud noise startled him, and he quickly went outside, even feeling a powerful presence in the sky!

As he stepped out, Lisa also looked serious. They walked out together and saw all the big shots in their villa area already outside. The ground trembled violently as they all looked up to see the sky lit red, intense energy waves pulsing through the air, and meteors breaking through the earth's clouds, a massive planet looming close.

Soon, the meteors scattered across the sky, one heading straight for their villa area!

Ethan had never seen such a scene in his life and was completely stunned.

"Hey! Ethan, don't... don't come... stay... stay safe at home..."

The call was choppy and then cut off. Find your chapter at m_v_l_e_m_p_y_r

In the skies of California, a powerful Psychic broadcasted:

"Fellow Californians, a magical civilization is attacking, follow me into battle!"

"Damn..."

Ethan stared blankly at the sky, witnessing a war between civilizations for the first time, and they were using planets as weapons.

Beside him, Lisa seemed unfazed and tugged at the dazed Ethan, "Master, let's go inside. The villa area is safe. It's just a magical civilization; the earth's masters have gone out, which is why they dare to be so bold. But even so, they are not to be feared."

"Okay."

Ethan swallowed hard, and as he turned to go back, he saw Mrs. Quinn from next door stepping out of her house, her aura rising continuously—Competent Force, Basic Mastery, and even higher!

She smiled at Ethan and then vanished in an instant!

As Ethan turned back in astonishment, the sky seemed to be setting off a brilliant fireworks display as the meteor shattered.

More and more masters from the villa area leaped into the sky to meet the battle!

"Damn..."

Ethan went back still dazed; everything had happened too fast. Who says the sky is falling without someone to hold it up? He was sure that an unimaginable battle was taking place beyond Earth, yet he was still safe and sound.

"Damn, I better just stick to playing video games."

"Earth is freaking tough, how long has civilization been around? And we're already fighting interstellar wars."

"No way, I need to focus on gaming, otherwise, with my little Competent Force, wouldn't I just die out there?"

Ethan stared at his computer screen, his face pale.
