The Insane Foster Father 2/2
Deep within the Chryseis Marsh, in a certain underground cave.
Anna gets up to exercise and digest her food, then follows the mysterious Samael into a hidden cave to discover another surprise.
The densely packed Wedge-shaped Divine Script on the ground, along with the familiar-smelling item at the center of the array, surprised and delighted the purple-haired loli.
"These are Ishtar's jewel and Ereshkigal's lantern? You want to summon them to Greece?"
Samael shrugged helplessly, his expression somewhat regretful.
"It's not that simple. I'm just trying to build Spirit Communication technique to see if I can have a talk therapy session with them whenever I'm feeling down or have nothing to do."
"Is it over?"
"Not yet, it's still being tested, but we've made some progress. Once it's complete, you can chat with them over there to pass the time."
"Uh-huh!"
The little girl nodded emphatically. Although the surprise wasn't as shocking as she had expected, it was still something to look forward to.
That joyful look made Samael feel that all the busyness and waiting of the past ten years had been worthwhile.
Of course, connecting two World Bubble through the Sea of Imaginary Numbers to enable Spirit Communication is not easy in practice.
Even in the future Chaldea, a large number of Magecraft were gathered to gradually perfect the interdimensional Spirit Communication technology.
Samael has limited Magecraft talent, and the reason he dared to attempt this complicated process was thanks to the help of the Mother Goddess Tiamat.
It is important to know that this Ark of Fate, which is currently floating in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, has data anchor points in Greece and Mesopotamia.
Therefore, the god of the chariot can act as a signal tower, serving as an information relay station, responsible for inputting and translating the information between the two parties.
Even so, Samael went through countless attempts and failures, spending more than ten years before finally finding some clues.
If the plan goes smoothly, it won't be long before he and Anna can reconnect with their old friends.
Imagine this: two figures, one tall and one short, look at each other and smile, their eyes filled with longing.
Compared to Spirit Communication, the feasts outside that merely satisfy the taste buds and evoke memories are nothing more than insignificant appetizers.
"Samael, if my intuition is correct, Tina is [the one who is married], right?"
Anna sat cross-legged in the chair and asked a question, a hint of warmth and remembrance flashing in her eyes.
Although they didn't spend much time together, Tiamat left a deeper and more lasting impression on the little girl, and she was willing to have another person who would sacrifice herself for offspring.
Of course, by blood, Echidna is her biological mother, but this snake spirit still retains the supernatural way of taking care of her child.
After the children are allowed to roam freely, the father will drive them out to be raised in order to ensure that his authority is not challenged and that his territory remains intact.
Natural selection, allowing the offspring of gods and monsters to perish on their own in the outside world, is the normal way for the continuation and competition of the bloodline of gods and monsters.
Therefore, the fact that Typhon's Offspring were scattered throughout Greece in the future, and that this was also one of the reasons why heroes gained reputation through this method.
Even though the Gorgon Sisters inherited the purest bloodline and were of extraordinary significance, they did not receive much favoritism from the Serpent King.
Therefore, Anna, who has been instilled with more Uruk memories, seems to have very strong feelings for Tina.
"Yes, the God of the Heart was able to return in another way, thanks to you."
"However, her divinity is too weak to suppress her animalistic nature, so her rationality cannot be further awakened."
The ancient snake nodded slightly and informed its companion of the current situation.
"So, in your plan, what should I do next?"
Anna's expression turned serious as she inquired earnestly, knowing full well Samael's obsession with activating Tiamat's intellect.
Just as the ancient snake and Tina had once helped and favored her, the little girl was willing to make efforts for this "family member's" return.
Samael placed his hands on Anna's thin shoulders, his expression serious.
"Drink more milk, go to bed early and get up early, eat more, grow taller, and develop faster!"
"Don't treat me like a child, I'm serious!"
Anna's face, which had been filled with a sacred sense of mission, immediately fell when she heard this obviously unreliable joke, and she angrily showed her little tiger teeth.
"I'm serious too..."
Samael tightened his face, seemingly giving a serious answer, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the little girl's meager chest and felt quite sorry for her.
It looks better after the milk comes out; I absolutely cannot stop giving milk.
"If you tease me again, I'm going to bite you! You bad boy!"
Noticing the slightly regretful look in his eyes, Anna's face flushed red, her cheeks almost bleeding, and her teeth began to grind inwardly.
"Alright, alright, to be honest, you should take care of yourself first. If you're safe, I'll find a way to help you get everything that belongs to you."
Seeing that the little girl was about to explode, Samael immediately raised his hand to beg for mercy, while Anna was still confused after hearing the explanation.
Samael flicked his finger on Anna's smooth forehead, his gaze deep, and smiled as he spoke.
"If you don't want to end up like the people you once were, you must become strong enough to fight against the persecution of the gods."
"The quickest way for Tina to regain her intellect is to seize the Greek divine authority and nurture her divinity with the entire world."
"Therefore, our future opponents will all be Mount Olympian Gods."
"Helping you is the same as helping Tina."
"Why not take the best of both worlds? Who wants you to make the sacrifice?"
As he said this, the ancient serpent turned to Anna and couldn't help but roll its eyes.
The hand gently stroked her head, and the little girl seemed to wake from a dream, clenching her fists and nodding emphatically.
"Yes! I will grow up well and be able to help as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Anna, who had a slight tendency toward self-destruction, had finally stopped obsessing over things, Samael smiled with satisfaction and then began to give her some advice.
"In addition, you'd better reconcile with Athena and get along well with her."
Hearing Anna's name being mentioned repeatedly, Anna showed a strong sense of rejection, her face tensing up.
"Reconcile? On what grounds! I did nothing wrong!"
"I don't like her! Not at all!"
Immediately, amidst waves of suppressed resentment, red and black blood energy continuously emanated from the purple-haired loli's body, her expression grim.
"Anna, what you see is just one possibility for the future."
"Now, everything has changed. All the tragedies have yet to unfold. I hope you can forgive her..."
Samael raised his hand to stroke Anna's head and offer some words of advice.
A crisp slapping sound rang out, and Samael's hand was slapped away.
Anna suddenly looked up, her face snapping forward to meet Samael's by mere inches. In the depths of his blood-red pupils, there was only coldness and distortion.
"Forgive me? What if I don't?"
Looking at the madness overflowing from those eyes, Samael gasped, his heart clenching.
Gorgon! The hatred that belonged to this Beast Goddess has not subsided!
The ancient snake sighed and spoke seriously.
"If you refuse this option, you two will probably have to fight in the future. I don't want to see that worst-case scenario."
The small face, tinged with madness and resentment, gradually merged with the features of Gorgon, a sinister smile playing on its lips.
As she extended her fingertips, lifting Samael's chin, her movements revealed a mature, alluring, playful, and ruthless quality, while her voice was filled with a heavy, bloody stench.
"Ha, you don't want to see this situation unfold?"
"If I insist on revenge, what are you going to do? Take your adopted daughter and kill me?"
Samael's expression was calm, his gaze dark and sinister, and he spoke slowly.
"I will... help you with it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the cave froze. Anna, influenced by the remaining consciousness of the Gorgon, was completely stunned.
