The Passing of Life

However, he couldn't worry about that at the moment; he hurriedly looked at the second report.

This time it was just a medical report, all computer-generated text, and even some black-and-white photocopies.

The description above states that both ovaries are visible, no cystic structures are observed, and no fluid is seen in the rectouterine pouch.

Inspection findings:

Early pregnancy with a live fetus (approximately 7 weeks+)

Central placenta previa.

The result is quite obvious. Due to his research over the years, William has gained a considerable understanding of biology. Moreover, the explanation in this report is clear enough.

"You're pregnant?"

Saegusa Mayumi nodded sweetly.

"How could she be pregnant!"

Without even thinking, the words slipped out, and Saegusa Mayumi's face immediately darkened. She gritted her teeth and said:

"What do you mean? You don't want this child?!"

"No, that's not what I meant. I just didn't expect you to be pregnant."

William explained hastily, his large hands flailing in front of his chest as if he didn't know where to put them.

What do you mean by that?!

The dark complexion had improved slightly, but Saegusa Mayumi still frowned and asked with a question:

William, on the other hand, hadn't recovered and was pondering the reasons behind it.

In fact, by now, he has had relationships with quite a few women.

During this time, he had already sown countless seeds without ever needing to take any defensive measures.

However, none of his women conceived his child, not even La Fria, who had been with him for over four years.

So much so that the royal family behind La Fria was almost frantic with worry.

Over time, he stopped insisting on having offspring, since everyone was now immortal and a solution would eventually be found over the long course of time.

But now, Saegusa Mayumi is pregnant! Why?

Even though he had only been intimate with her a handful of times, since he had quickly traveled to the DanMachi World.

Could it really be as I suspected?

This is a hypothesis William once made: perhaps his elevation of divinity during his time in the DanMachi World led to a higher level of existence, making it difficult for mortal women to conceive. (At that time, Haruhime's level was very low.)

Finally, when she arrived in the world of Strike the Blood, she had completely become Star Spirit, standing above all races, and had completely shed her mortal form, which is why La Fria was unable to conceive for four years.

"It seems that only by going to the Little Garden and obtaining divinity for them can this problem be reasonably explained."

Thinking this, William murmured to himself.

"What did you say?"

She murmured softly, but Saegusa Mayumi didn't hear her clearly.

"Nothing."

William shook his head, then reached out and grasped Saegusa Mayumi 'William soft hand, his gentle aura flowing down his arm.

He gently closed his eyes and began to carefully sense his surroundings.

Saegusa Mayumi silently gazed at her lover, radiating maternal warmth.

That's right, this is his bloodline.

Although the sensation was quite faint, he definitely felt the connection that drew him to his bloodline.

The reason he didn't sense it the moment he saw Saegusa Mayumi was entirely because he currently had too few of the original human traits within him.

"However, it seems that my child's aptitude is a little lacking!"

This time, the sound definitely reached Saegusa Mayumi's ears, and her expression immediately turned anxious.

The hand that William was holding was also held back by her!

What does "poor aptitude" mean?

She had already convinced herself that her husband was incredibly powerful, so she now completely trusted his words.

The fact that her husband deemed her child to be of poor aptitude naturally caused Saegusa Mayumi, a new mother, great anxiety.

"There's nothing I can do; after all, this is a child I had when I was human."

William then cut out some of his guesses and explained them to Saegusa Mayumi.

"I see!"

Saegusa Mayumi a complicated expression.

Looking at Mayumi like this, the idea that had just flashed through William's mind gradually took shape. He moved his large hand and covered Saegusa Mayumi's still flat stomach.

"You--!"

Saegusa Mayumi hadn't finished speaking.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a dazzling divine aura erupted from William's body, and azure light shone from his eye sockets.

The divine energy, imbued with sacred power, transformed directly into golden flames and wove into threads of divine energy in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom image appeared behind William, and the "Book of Worlds," exuding an ancient, profound, and mysterious aura, appeared above his head.

The pages turned automatically without any wind, flipping back in a rustling motion until they finally stopped on a blank page.

The threads formed from divine energy seemed to have found their nest, surging into the blank brown paper and forming strange symbols of incomprehensible meaning.

Sizzle--!

William reached out and tore off the paper that was covered with mysterious symbols.

Saegusa Mayumi's belly, the brown paper containing divine symbols, William's large hand.
