Chapter 397: Father

Under the gaze of everyone, the scene at Jiang Xiaoxiao's side changed drastically.

The surrounding scene seemed to be caught in a strong wind, spiraling up into the sky.

A huge vortex formed in mid-air.

And in the middle of the whirlpool, a huge eye slowly opened and cast its gaze.

"What is that...?"

"Is this Jiang Xiaoxiao's fear? Or is it something else?"

Li Yang was a little surprised and asked in a low voice.

Artemis beside her didn't answer, she held her chin thoughtfully and frowned.

The complacent expression that had always been there became gradually more complicated at this time.

"I didn't feel the influence of any abnormal force..."

"The scene in front of her should still be the dream she saw."

"But... Tartarus..."

"Even I have never seen it."

Among everyone present, Artemis should be the oldest god.

But even she had never seen the original Lord of the Underworld.

Even in the realm of gods, Tartarus is like a myth.

No one thought that the god had disappeared hundreds of millions of years ago.

He actually got in touch with a girl on Blue Star.

and...

Judging from the girl's title, it seems...

Or her father?

Demeter had just left the dream and staggered to the crowd.

Just when he was about to report the good news to everyone, he turned around and saw what everyone was staring at.

"What is that!?"

"This kind of vision... I seem to have seen it somewhere before."

"Ah...it's in the information about the Realm of God."

"This seems to belong to the Lord of the Underworld..."

At this point, she suddenly stopped talking.

With some shock on his face, he turned to look at Li Yang and Artemis, his eyes widened, and he murmured:

"Why...the Lord of the Underworld appears here?"

Li Yang nodded slightly and pursed his lips towards Jiang Xiaoxiao in the dream:

"memory."

"Her memory..."

"It's also... what she fears."

...

Huge eyes stared at Jiang Xiaoxiao, making people feel oppressed and frightened.

The surrounding scene began to distort, and the floating ghosts of the undead turned into whirlpools, surrounding Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao staggered back, seemingly unsteady even when standing.

until...

A man wearing a black cloak appeared in front of her.

"Hey, girl."

"I thought you wouldn't come back again."

"What did you want to do when you came here this time? Do you want a new wish?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao spat and stared bitterly at the man whose appearance was unclear in front of him:

"Do you think I will listen to your nonsense again?"

"Father!"

The man called "Father" laughed loudly, and then slowly lowered his head:

"It sounds like you have a lot of dissatisfaction."

"Why don't you make another wish and let me help you overturn all these dissatisfactions and return everything to its original state?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao spat:

"The most original look?"

"Do you mean to make all living things shrink back into the bloody placenta?"

"I already enjoyed this gift when I was six years old, so no, thank you for your concern!"

"Let me out, I'm not here for you this time!"

The father smiled slightly: "Don't be so cold, my good daughter."

"I know you still have many unfulfilled wishes."

"Tell me and I can help you achieve it."

"Want to protect Blue Star from being invaded by gods? Or do you want to gain power and defeat the realm of gods?"

"I can help you do it!"

"And... for free."

When he said the last four words, he opened his mouth slightly and showed a very meaningful smile.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took out the Death Power from his pocket, looked at it, then raised his head and said slowly:

"I made a wish to you that my beloved rabbit would be cured, so you stuffed it back into the placenta, saying that was its healthiest state..."

"I made a wish to you to make those bad students who bullied me realize their mistakes, so you let their whole family die overnight..."

"I once made a wish to you to bring my mother back...and then you turned her into a walking corpse!"

"The most damning thing is that all your actions are realized with my hands!"

"Do you really think you can get anything else from me?"

"Let me out, now!"

After hearing this, the man in black robe suddenly remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:

"Dear child... I... am so sorry!"

"I understand your anger and unwillingness. I have indeed manipulated your will and distorted your innocent wishes."

He sighed and slowly approached Jiang Xiaoxiao:

"But you shouldn't be so harsh on yourself. Everything is my fault. I took advantage of your innocence."

Jiang Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank sharply and his body trembled slightly.

The man in black robe reached out and hugged her thin body:

"My child, please forgive me for being such a terrible father."

"I never meant to hurt you, it's just... I was so obsessed with my ideas that I hurt you unintentionally."

"I shouldn't have given you the power of death. You are such a pure being, but I brought you into such a dark vortex."

Jiang Xiaoxiao's body trembled even more, as if she was holding back something.

The black-robed man loosened his arms and stared deeply into her eyes:

"Now I finally understand. Life should not be dominated and controlled by me like this. On the contrary, it should be free and blooming."

"I have realized my mistake... So please forgive me, let's start all over again!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao raised her head suddenly: "No, don't even think about it!"

The struggle of mortals can't resist the will of the gods after all.

The surrounding scene began to distort and deform, and a huge crack appeared on the ground under Jiang Xiaoxiao's feet, which expanded rapidly.

She subconsciously stepped back, but found that she had been imprisoned in place by countless entangled souls, unable to move.

"Do you have to torture me like this? What do I owe you!?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao roared, and the power of death in her hand emitted a little bit of blue light.

The father sneered:

"You don't owe me anything..."

"If you want to blame someone, blame the greedy self who once came to me..."

"Of course you can resist at will..."

"But it doesn't matter. One day you will completely give yourself to me and become my vassal."

"First, let's start with the rebirth now!"

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt her body collapsing and decomposing rapidly.

She struggled painfully, but could not stop the process.

Just when she was about to disappear completely, a ray of golden light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, illuminating the entire space.

Then came a familiar voice:

"Xiaoxiao, wake up! This is just a dream!"

The golden light became brighter and brighter, and finally enveloped the entire dream space.
