The Future... Is Mine (Continued)

Albert nodded, then laughed, "You're really strong. You actually managed to kill the Black Dragon while controlling this huge thing."

"I also want to apologize. It's all my fault for being devoured by the Black Dragon, which is why it was strengthened to this extent."

Aria sighed.

"Don't apologize to me. Humanity benefited from your battle. The losses in this battle were suffered by the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia. I was merely an outsider."

Ming Ge remained calm; he did not wish to comment on the matter.

Albert was a hero, and arguably the strongest of the heroic age.

Aria was Great Fairy who was an avatar of the god. Although their being devoured fueled the Black Dragon's power, they also bought humanity a thousand years.

Even though they were devoured by the Black Dragon, Aria and Albert's will was not so easily extinguished.

In other words, it's very likely that the two of them resisted inside the Black Dragon for a full thousand years!

The Black Dragon has not yet fully digested them; they were merely awakened by the Dungeon.

If we're being honest, Ming Ge is probably close to it too.

If we follow the original story, Ming Ge speculates that the scene will occur during the battle between the original protagonist and the Black Dragon, and Ais will most likely be present... Omori's sword is by no means weak.

"They are the bereaved of a great god..."

Albert looked slightly sad and somewhat guilty.

Ming Ge had no way to deal with this.

Although he has studied the soul and has a way to intercept the souls of the dead so that they do not return to the heavens, he has no way to reshape their bodies.

He had no research on possession, and it wasn't that simple, because the soul also carried information. Generally, the compatibility with other bodies was only in the single digits, and it would directly damage their souls.

Besides... no one asked Ming Ge to do this.

He has done everything he could, and he can say that he has a clear conscience.

"The Black Dragon is dead; you will soon return to the Celestial Realm."

Ming Ge asked, "Any last words?"

Their physical bodies have vanished; what remains are their souls and this spiritual space.

The two exchanged a glance, then Albert spoke, "Actually... before we faced the Black Dragon, we had a daughter. To protect her, Aria used magic to put her into a deep sleep until now."

"Now that the Black Dragon that threatened the entire lower realm is dead, it's time to release that child."

"Could you please adopt that child?"

"Yes, after all, he is the offspring of a hero." Ming Ge nodded, then asked curiously, "By the way, immortal spirits cannot reproduce, right?"

"That's a secret technique unique to our Great Fairy, capable of passing on one's power."

Aria spoke, "After I die, that child will be the next 'Aria'."

"I see."

Ming Ge suddenly realized.

In fact, he had his own guesses about this. Even if he had other doubts, it was only whether the child was related to Albert by blood, but even if he was curious, that was not Ming Ge should ask.

"These are the coordinates and the key; they can free that child from the wind's embrace."

Aria took out a green orb of light and handed it to Ming Ge.

Ming Ge took it and felt the ball of light merge into her spiritual body, sensing the wind power surging from her soul.

This is the power of nature, and also nature's blessing.

"When the time is right, you can give this power to that child; she will likely become your strength in the future."

"By the way, that child's name is Ais, Ais Wallenstein."

This is the wind's favor, a compass that guides Ming Ge to find Ais.

It is the key that can awaken her from her slumber.

This is also a reward for defeating the Black Dragon and freeing Aria; this blessing will grant Ming Ge the power to manipulate the celestial winds.

When the time is right, giving it to Ais will awaken her into a true fairy.

In fact, even without the key function, Ais would probably still wake up in this era.

Whether it's Aria gradually being absorbed from the original story and losing power, or the Black Dragon dying and Aria returning to the Celestial Realm, it will all affect the sleeping Ais.

Of course, even with the remaining forces, there should be no problem for several months or even several years.

"Is there anything else?"

Ming Ge asked.

Aria hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and ultimately said nothing.

The two bowed to Ming Ge simultaneously, saying, "Thank you for defeating the Black Dragon and saving the lower realm."

"Um."

Ming Ge responded softly.

Regardless of his original intentions, this is a fact.

Farewell, I hope you will be happy.

Ming Ge waved and then left the space.

He was unaware of the situation in the celestial realm, but the Great Fairy were beings who lived in the celestial realm and were the original benefactors of the gods.

Perhaps because of this relationship, coupled with Albert's status as a human hero, he could be allowed to live in the heavens instead of continuing to reincarnate.

As for what Aria didn't say... Ming Ge guessed that she wanted to talk about her other sisters.

Aria was one of the first fairies to descend to the mortal realm, and has lived there for at least two thousand years. Including her being devoured by the Black Dragon, she has lived for at least three thousand years.

She and her five sisters descended to the mortal realm and, with a magic spell called "Six Fairy Rings," slew Nidhogg, a monster that had surpassed the Fairy Black Dragon.

The intervention from the heavens also led to some unfortunate consequences. Although Nidhogg was destroyed, all five fairies except for the wind were harmed.

Although the wind was also devoured by the Black Dragon a thousand years ago, thanks to Ming Ge's intervention, Aria's soul was not defiled by the Black Dragon, thus giving her the opportunity to return to the heavens.
