Chapter 580 - Lily-1
Athan and Jourgan arrived at their destination. This chaotic power resembled a dark brown pyramid with complicated light brown patterns on each of its brick-like structures.
Any chaotic power that arrived near it would be absorbed by it, and from its top, sparkling dark brown sands would release like a fountain and reinforce its structure.
"Young master Athan, this chaotic power absorbs all chaotic powers attacking it, so I assume that its defense-type. As for what it is real nature, we can only find out after comprehending and grasping it."
Athan nodded as he didn't waste time and started training before telling Jourgan to go in search of another powerful defense-type chaotic power.
...
While Athan, Tiana, and others were training, Mimi's parents had started taking their revenge.
However...things don't always go as planned.
Their target was revenge was a powerful empire in Orchos Firmament, and...they succeeded. They killed their emperor, who had destroyed their clan, and also killed the emperor's son, who took part in the slaughter.
However, the rebound they got was unexpected! Mimi's father was obstructed by a Devil Emperor who had fallen in love with the now-dead emperor's daughter. Her daughter promised the devil that she would become his as long as he took revenge for her.
In delight, the devil went all out as he brought out a supreme treasure on the same level as Ark of Exordium. Before Mimi's parents could escape after revenge, they were obstructed and...half-died.
However, before dying, Mimi's parents separated a part of their dying soul and let her daughter escape with the Ark of Exordium.
The fragment of the soul of Mimi's parents accompanied her as her father controlled the Ark of Exordium and arrived at the same lower-axiom universe where they picked up Athan's soul.
'Honey, we need another human to maintain control of Ark of Exordium since our daughter can't do that as she is not human and can't become master of this ark with her current strength.'
'Sigh, if only we could find that guardian brother of her, then we could return this Ark to him along with her daughter as she would remain safe with him, alas...'
'We got our revenge, but...Mimi would be alone again,' Mimi's mother sobbed as she looked at sleeping Mimi, 'Let's not tell Mimi about revenge and stuff. She should live happily from now on...W-we have already troubled her because of our revenge.'
Mimi's father nodded, 'We don't have much time; that devil is tracing our soul fragments. They also don't want to let Mimi live for potential revenge and want to snatch Ark.'
'Honey, do you remember that girl? We don't remember that guardian brother of Mimi anymore, but I have the memories of the soul we picked up,' Mimi's mother said, 'Let's pick up that girl's soul and let her become the next master of Ark.'
When they picked up Athan's soul, they saw his memories because that was necessary. After all, if they picked up a wicked human's soul with bad nature, they wouldn't let their daughter stay with him. However, the first soul they picked up was of Athan's, and they were satisfied with his nature and also pitied how he unjustly died.
They arrived at Earth, but they were shocked by its state, 'It has changed quite a lot, and the population has decreased drastically.'
With their power, they saw the past of this universe.
'So they previously found the trails here and....sigh. That girl is already dead.'
'It's fine; the will of this universe should possess her soul's anima information and memories. Since I still have full control of Ark now, I can create the Exordium Adapt physical body for her and put her re-created soul in it before sending it to a higher-axiom universe after infusing Ark with her soul,' Mimi's father spoke as he started working since the time was running out for them.
...
Lily, the first attraction and first juvenile love of Athan born from that attraction. But Athan was filial, so he distanced himself from her for his uncle and aunt's safety.
Lily was upset at Athan's sudden change of behavior because she liked him more and more throughout several weeks when she hung out with him.
She tried to talk to him every day, but Athan avoided her every day.
One day, she realized that she had a book of Athan and decided to take this chance to visit him at the house. She wanted to know the reason for his behavior and wanted to set things back to how it was before.
Athan's uncle and aunt exchanged glances with smiles and were happy that he got his first girlfriend.
Afterward, Lily and Athan talked for thirty minutes in Athan's room, but she was left heartbroken since Athan didn't budge from his stance and told her that they could never meet each other again.
She returned home and cried a lot.
However, the next day, she heard shocking news! This news brought her more tears at how brutally they tortured Athan and killed him.
Her family had some authority as her father was a state minister and her mother was a collector, so she begged them to punish the criminals who did that to Athan.
But after two days, her parents told her about her engagement promise they made with the son of a national minister who was also a hidden, underground business tycoon who ran illegal business. After all, Her father and that tycoon were college friends.
The national minister, his wife, and his son, Lanry, visited them later, where they talked about Lily's engagement with Lanry.
Lily didn't want to marry Lanry, but she had no choice but to obey her parents. Lanry took Lily to the balcony for some talk, and with a wicked smile, he revealed the truth to her.
"Athan, right? Actually, I was the one who ordered my men to torture him and kill him. After all, you are going to be mine in the future, and nobody should lay their eyes on you."
Lily was shocked into despair, and the next words practically pulled the ground from under her feet.
"Your parents also know about it as well, and I will never be punished by what I did, so just obediently live for the next several years.. Finish your studies, become a doctor, and then we can have our grand wedding."
