BXBX NOVEL Chapter 572 - Finding Her
This Kingdom was mostly governed by a Baphomet Royal Family, governing over a varied amount of Demon and Beast-kin races.
As of now, the Dark Gods should be more active, so they will probably go meet them right away whenever they sense any of them around. The best way to look for them was by going into the highly inhabited areas of the continent.
As they moved in that direction calmly, Veronica wondered about Ervas mother, incidentally, Jason was here too.
"I wonder how\'s your mother doing, and where could she be? We have so much power yet… it still very hard to look for specific people in such a vast area, especially because it is not part of our divine realm…" sighed Veronica.
"I\'ve been also wondering about my mother.... I also wonder where it could be from all things. I don\'t remember seeing her, but I am concerned that she might have…" sighed Ervas.
"No, don\'t think that Ervas. I am sure your mother is okay! She was a strong woman, and she had her powers with her… In those times, she used to be even stronger than I am! And I am sure that she has grown in power ever since then…!" said Jason.
"But how can we find her?" wondered Ervas.
"Hm… Maybe if I use Lesser Fate Manipulation and Misfortune Manipulation… I could…"
Veronica suddenly began to do something that not many Gods would ever do! She called upon the threads of fate using Lesser Fate Manipulation and began to use hundreds of millions of Divine Energy only to glance at them…!
She had realized, from the memories of the Gods fused with Bestellen from the Future Kritias which she ate with Ervas, that there were ways to find people\'s history and locations through the threads of fate, a power that the sealed goddess of fate within the Future Kritias was able to do… these three are still sealed within the new Future Kritias named Midgard, and the pair has no plans in waking them up, for now, although it sounded rather tentative to devour them, they decided to not do it.
"Amazing, you\'ve developed your abilities a lot… I suppose you always had the knack for controlling fate…" said Ervas.
"It started as an aim enhancement skill, I never thought it would become this," sighed Veronica.
She infused her minds into the fate threads and began to look for info through them, using her vast divinities and exhausting her divine energy over and over again only for it to recover almost to full in an instant due to its insane regeneration speed!
Veronica tried to look into Ervas thread of fate first, but it seemed to not exist, nor hers… then, she tried Jason, and she finally found it, although it was hiding a lot, and seemed to be slowly vanishing, seemingly, in some more time, Jason would stop being part of the fate of this world…
Thankfully, she found it on time and began to look into it, browsing through the information meticulously. Not everything was there, but certain future actions that might or might not happen, alongside the past that had already happened…
Within the past, she slowly kept digging, until finally, she found the event where Jason met Aleksandra, the mother of Ervas. She was a beautiful woman, with long silvery-white hair, crimson-red eyes, pale-white skin, and a slender figure, she held a vampiric beauty without equal.
Using this reference of her appearance and her connection with Jason, Veronica tracked through the thread of fate, feeling a bit tired already of overusing so much divine energy by doing something she wasn\'t even supposed to do, until finally, finally…
Flash!
"T-There it is! I found her thread!" said Veronica, as everyone around her was surprised.
"Y-You\'re way better than the main body at this! Wait, maybe you could be even," said Aurora.
Veronica dived into the thread of fate of Aleksandra, as she looked into her possible future… There were three of the closest estimations from where she could be, and all three of them were… near a Kingdom, no, an Empire.
"She\'s… in the Demon Empire! It is just straight from here…!" said Veronica.
"Really? Well, Wellerman, let\'s hurry," said Ervas.
"GUUUOOOON…!"
Wellerman hastened the pace as it flew at an incredibly high speed, resembling a rocket crossing through the skies!
FLAAAAASH!
…
Aleksandra was secretly the exiled heir of the demon royal family in the Demon Empire. Born as the last of a Demon subspecies capable of summoning creatures from different worlds, she survived in the wilderness from a very young age, until she meets Jason and slowly built a friendship with the humble farmer, which turned into love as time went by.
After expressing their love to each other when they reached adulthood, she became pregnant and gave birth to Ervas, Veronica\'s split soul reincarnation. Her son inherited her racial traits while still resembling a human. She hoped that Ervas could one day live in human society without having to worry about his heritage.
She named her son like her deceased guard, who once gave his life to protect her when she was running away from the Demon Empire for being an impure child born from a royal family member and a commoner.
After the hunt for demons raised in the Human Kingdom where she and Jason were living happened, she decided to run away, while leaving Ervas with her summoning grimoire.
She hoped that her child would grow strong one day and come back to her… she isn\'t the best of mothers, but she thought that it was better for her to run away so the humans wouldn\'t associate her with the strange oddly pale child.
And now… She found herself back in the Empire that had chased her down…
