They Actually Weren't Twins

"But one thing is certain: our enemies still exist. Don't underestimate them, but don't let your guard down either. Use this time to replenish and rest. I have a feeling... perhaps next time, we'll face even more troublesome Seaborn than before."

All the Grand Inquisitors present nodded, but not one of them showed any sign of backing down. They were the most upright and unyielding backbone of Iberia, the unyielding wall of Iberia. From the moment they became Grand Inquisitors, death or victory became an eternal choice.

However, the Iberia are unaware that the Seaborn have already embarked on a completely different evolutionary path, never to return.

In the deep sea, cocoons, like precious jade carvings, gleamed with a deep blue light. Miss Seaborn, who had almost been caught earlier, picked up one egg and tapped it, then picked up another and patted it. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was choosing watermelons.

"This one's developing well, hmm, this one's not bad either, this one... I feel like he'll be short and stocky when he's born, this one... what a failure."

Miss Seaborn was extremely satisfied as she carefully inspected each of her new sisters' eggs. As the first to attempt to connect with the Seaborn of Sea of Life of Mizuki, less than 10% of the more than three million cocoons failed to hatch.

Those failed cocoons will become nourishment for the Sea of Life; though insignificant, they will still contribute to the community.

However, even with this calculation, over three million Seaborn still successfully evolved into... oh right, Sea Siren, that's the name given by the Doctor, it sounds pretty good, so we'll just use it for now.

The evolution from Seaborn to Sea Siren is not a long process, because it does not require physical changes, but rather a spiritual and mental upgrade. Therefore, all Sea Siren individuals that successfully evolved were among the first to establish a close connection with Mizuki.

Of course, even if they evolve into Sea Siren, there will still be no class distinction between Sea Siren and Seaborn. At most, there will be a difference in intelligence. Every individual except for Mizuki is equal. As for why Mizuki was eliminated? Because this family really can't do without him now.

The existence of the Sea of Life grants the Sea Siren near-eternal life, and Mizuki is the Sea of Life itself. To the Seaborn, he is their guide, and to the Sea Siren, he is more like their mother.

These will all break open soon, and as expected, there will be nothing inside the cocoon, because the Sea Siren who successfully break out of the cocoon need to create a new body themselves. Of course, they can also change their tails or hair color at will, but unfortunately, they probably can't change their height; they can only make it a little longer.

On the other side, Mizuki, on Rhodes Island, felt the reactions of millions of lives and was completely numb. Thinking back to the scene of being called "Mom" by Miss Sea Siren during the day, even he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. It was too terrifying; he really didn't want to think about such a thing.

"What's wrong? You look so frustrated, like you've encountered a cheater in a game and been matched with noob teammates. That's rare to see."

Exusiai hugged Mizuki from behind, burying her head in Mizuki's arms and nuzzling against him. She even took a deep breath. Mizuki always had a captivating fragrance about her. According to Sora, Mizuki was a poisonous flower, but the poison wasn't fatal; it would only make people fall into its trap.

"Hmm? Why does it smell like another woman?"

He placed his hand on Mizuki's waist and pinched it, Exusiai rested his head on Mizuki's shoulder and bit his ear in annoyance.

"Tell me quickly, which woman did you go off to fool around with this time?"

"This... Alina and Lin Yuxia?"

"Fine, still two? I'm angry!"

Exusiai increased the pressure of her ear-biting slightly, but her tone was more of a hint of jealousy than anger. She was pretty much used to it, but in Mizuki's heart, she was still the most important person... not counting the Doctor.

Anyway, her house is practically turning into Mizuki's harem, so even if she wanted to get angry, it's too late now. Fortunately, it's mostly family now, Muelsyse' side isn't in a good position. She'll probably be depressed for a long time.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, darling, please let go!"

"Ouch, does it really hurt? I didn't use much force, did I?"

Seeing that Mizuki seemed to be in real pain, Exusiai panicked, quickly letting go of his mouth and reaching out to rub it for him.

"It doesn't hurt, it's just a little itchy."

Mizuki playfully stuck out his tongue, Exusiai immediately realized she had been fooled. She reached out and patted him on the back, only then remembering just how overpowered Mizuki's defenses were.

"Honestly, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"As before, there's also your favorite apple pie."

Speaking of apple pie, I don't know if it's because Exusiai is Mizuki's girlfriend, but even though Mizuki's other dishes look intimidating, he always makes apple pie that looks, smells, and tastes amazing.

"Apple pie... Hmm, I don't feel like eating much, I'm a little dizzy, and I want to sleep."

Exusiai glanced at the apple pie over there. She clearly loved it, her mouth was watering, but she just felt... she didn't seem to have much of an appetite right now.

Do you have a cold?

"No, that's not it. If it were a cold, eating a couple of slices of apple pie would make me recover faster. I'm just a little sleepy."

Exusiai n't help but yawn, rubbing her eyes and clinging to Mizuki's arm. It was only a little past seven, the perfect time to prepare dinner. How Exusiai, who often stayed up past midnight, feel sleepy?

"How about we go to the Medical Department for a check-up? I'll go after I finish cooking."

"No need... Mizuki, where do you think would be a suitable place for us to settle down in the future?"

"I'll do as you say."

Mizuki ruffled Exusiai's hair, not particularly concerned. Although it was best to be near the sea, as the Sea of Life, it was itself a moving ocean.

"Let 'Siesta then. It's a lively place, with music festivals, and as a tourist destination, it has plenty of good food and fun activities. The Aegir love it too. Wait for me, and I'll Eis Is to buy the house tomorrow!"

"Okay, here, use mine."

The tentacle took a bank card out of Mizuki's pocket and placed it in Exusiai's hand. Then, it seemed to have noticed something and shook it with some confusion, but it did not tell Mizuki what it had discovered.

"This is... you should save your salary. My savings from the past few years are enough."

"This is my savings from before, quite a lot. Anyway, we're not short of money. I've traveled to many places before, so I have quite a bit of savings."

Come to think of it, Mizuki found it rather strange. When he went to replace his bank card, he discovered that he actually had two accounts. One was one he had been using for almost ten years, and the other was one he had opened less than two Mizuki ago. The former didn't have a lot of savings, only a few hundred thousand yuan, which he probably saved up while traveling and working.

As for the second account, Mizuki was honestly wondering if she had made a mistake. The account belonging to Columbia actually had a nine-figure sum. Mizuki was stunned. After checking the records, she found that someone from Columbia was sending him money every month, ten million a month without fail. Naturally, this card was the one being sent to Exusiai.

"How about this, we buy a house in Siesta and then buy one in my hometown? Locals in Sankta get pretty good discounts on housing."

In any case, Exusiai was unwilling to let Mizuki suffer a loss. Since Mizuki had paid the majority of the price, she had to reciprocate in kind, so she would take care of the renovations.

"Okay, whatever you say. And also... Xiao Le, have you ever thought about becoming a mother?"

"Huh?" Exusiai was taken aback by the question, but then nodded, blushing slightly. "I have thought about it, but it feels too early. By the way, have you thought about it, Mizuki?"

"I..." Mizuki thought to herself that she hadn't even thought about it; she had already been both a father and a mother that afternoon.

"Actually, I've always been worried. I want a daughter. If a boy inherits my personality, he'll be Demon King. That won't do, that won't do."

"Then why can't it be inheriting my personality?"

Mizuki pointed to herself, and then received a glare from Exusiai.

"The main problem is, if it's a boy and he inherits your personality, he'll definitely be someone who'll be easily swayed by women wherever he goes. We can't afford the dowries for a dozen girls!"

The reason was so convincing that Mizuki couldn't refute it. He then realized that Exusiai's thought process was quite unique, but when she was with him, she always liked to be intimate with him, so he didn't really show it.

However, Mizuki only thought her girlfriend was cute, and that was enough.

"That's why I think it's better to have a daughter. If she inherits your personality, she'll definitely be someone who's easy to take care of!"

Although I don't know what Mizuki was like when he was a child, just looking at him now, Exusiai feels that Mizuki's personality is great! It would be even better if he could avoid getting involved with so many women!

"What if our daughter inherits your personality?" Mizuki thought of the palm-sized Sea Siren from this afternoon and suddenly lost all hope for the future.

"That's no problem at all." Exusiai pointed to the kitchen door. "Just leave it to my sister. She's experienced. She's been disciplining me since I was a kid."

Although Lemuen is not Exusiai older sister, that doesn't stop her from Lemuen Exusiai into trouble, it's Lemuen cleans up the mess and teaches her a lesson along the way.

The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister is like a mother. For Exusiai, Lemuen is definitely one of the most important people. That's why she was willing to risk her own life to try and bring her older sister and Mizuki together at the beginning, because she was really worried about Lemuen's condition at the time.

Now that Lemuen has been healed by Mizuki, Exusiai's feelings for Mizuki have deepened. No matter what happens, good or bad, she always subconsciously thinks about how nice it would be if Mizuki were by her side.

"So what's the real reason?"

"Because daughters are easy to bully!"

Exusiai her hands on her hips, looking smug. Mizuki didn't know how to tease her, so she could only pinch her lover's cheek slightly.

"Let's eat first, then get some rest. We'll go for a check-up tomorrow; I need to go to the Medical Department too."

"Good!"

Although she didn't have much of an appetite, Exusiai wasn't so sleepy anymore. She hugged Mizuki and then ran out with the dishes.

In a few days, they will be departing with Rhodes Island, and the girls think it's best to spend the last few days at home.

However, Skadi and Specter still haven't returned tonight. The two fought so fiercely that they're still lying in Rhodes Island's Medical Department. The small hillside, which stretches for a kilometer, is riddled with craters. In the end, Rhodes Island had to ask Surtr to drag them back because Skadi is too heavy and they needed to use her Magma Giant to move her.

According to Miss Skadi, it was a terrible feeling; Surtr's Magma Giant was so hot that she almost thought she was going to turn into a roasted fish.

"Loss of appetite, excessive sleepiness, dizziness... Xiao Le seems a bit off."

Mizuki frowned slightly, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong. He just planned to bring Exusiai with him to the Medical Department tomorrow for a check-up.

And then there's the dream interpretation the Doctor mentioned earlier. If we can figure out the secrets of those dreams, we might be able to understand why Mizuki chose to go to the Northern Ice Fields of Terra and why he lost his memory.

"Waaaaah!!"

Just as Mizuki was wondering what the Doctor was doing, in the Rhodes Island Doctor's room, the Doctor, bound like a mummy, couldn't even roll around. Kal'tsit Closure had bought from her with water and poured it into her mouth, leaving her feeling hot all over but helpless.

Kal'tsit desperately wanted to tear the Doctor apart, but she couldn't. Whether it was for the sake of Rhodes Island's future or because of her own mindset, just as she couldn't clearly tell the Doctor many things, she also couldn't hurt him.

This is the imprint of the thoughts of her creator, the long-vanished Ms. Priestess.

"..."

Looking at the medical report, Kal'tsit couldn't help but cover her face. She really wanted to beat the Doctor up, and even had the urge to commit suicide and get a new body.

How could she have hit the target on the first try? How is she going to face Mizuki now?

Chapter 124 They're Not Actually Twins

"Ah~ who lives in the deep sea trench~"

A wonderful day begins with cleaning the eggshells of each of her sisters. The diligent Miss Sea Siren tosses her good sisters one by one into the underwater volcano to help them hatch, while pondering the next steps in the race's grand plan.

Without a doubt, once these three million Sea Siren are born, the Iberia rabble, lacking any sense of martial ethics, will be no match for the combined offensive of Sea Siren Seaborn. As for the traitors of the Church of the Deep, well, not all of them are people who want to use the Seaborn, so we can't just throw them all away.

If the members of the Church of the Deep knew that the Seaborn they had always revered would choose to evolve in the direction of humanity, their reaction would probably be quite amusing.

"Izumik, that's really impressive."

Gently clenching his fist, despite his entire body being composed of pure water, he was surprisingly resilient and powerful, even slightly superior to Abyssal Hunters. Moreover, he could freely mimic various shapes, all thanks to that magical Sea of Life.

As long as they remain connected to the Sea of Life, the Sea Siren is immortal. Even if they die, the backup information from the Sea of Life is enough to create a new individual with all the original individual data. Furthermore, the Sea Siren's data in the Sea of Life is constantly updated.

But just as Miss Sea Siren was about to sing a song in high spirits, she suddenly sensed something, subconsciously looked around, and then quickly took stock of everything.

"... There wasn't much, what's going on?"

In Miss Sea Siren's perception, it seemed that two new sisters had suddenly appeared in the Sea of Life. However, they were obviously not the sorted ones in front of her, and the reaction was not obvious. It was like hearing mosquitoes buzzing in the middle of the night. You could hear them and know there were mosquitoes, but you just couldn't find where they were.

"Could it be that there are new sisters in other seas?"

Because the reaction was so faint, Miss Sea Siren pondered that things might be more complicated than she thought. Perhaps these were two newborns, the kind that didn't even have minds yet, because the Sea of Life of Izumik was not affected by the laws of the material world. Even if they were far apart, the Sea Siren could clearly sense each other's positions.

But then another problem arises: if it's a newly born Seaborn, it can't even establish a connection with the Sea of Life, so how could it be sensed?

"Were these two born directly from the Sea of Life?!"

After transforming into Sea Siren, her mind became much sharper, and Miss Sea Siren instantly thought of this possibility; there was no other plausible explanation.

However, if they were truly born directly from the Sea of Life, then it would mean that these two newborn sisters are not from the Seaborn like them, but rather direct relatives of Mizuki!

"Oh no, now that they have a biological child, are we stepmothers going to be neglected?"

The thought of this possibility immediately gave Miss Sea Siren a sense of crisis. Although she felt that Mizuki wouldn't completely ignore them, who knew? She had to think of a way!

In the midst of the chaos, Miss Sea Siren suddenly realized something: she was, strictly speaking, from a single-parent family.

"Oh, I don't think I have a mother."

Suddenly realizing this, Miss Sea Siren fell into deep thought, and she had an idea that could almost be described as wicked.

Of course, Mizuki had no idea, nor did he care to investigate the Sea Siren's thoughts. More than his own dream, he was concerned about Exusiai's health, so he decided this morning to bring the sleepy Exusiai to the Rhodes Island Medical Department for a check-up.

"Ah... so sleepy."

Exusiai n't help but yawn, leaning lazily against Mizuki's shoulder. She had been practically dragged here by Mizuki this morning, and was still feeling a bit sleepy.

"Go sleep in the dorm later."

"Um."

The examination didn't take long, and soon Kal'tsit came over with the report, glancing at Mizuki and then at Exusiai leaning against him.

"Xiao Le, go to sleep later."

"Um..."

Despite being intimidated by Kal'tsit's imposing presence, Exusiai to muster her strength.

"Let me ask first, when did these symptoms first appear?"

"It was probably... well, yesterday. I just didn't have much of an appetite and felt really sleepy."

"Are you still feeling dizzy? Did you feel nauseous when you woke up this morning?"

"Ah, right, right, as expected of Dr. Kal'tsit, she even knows this."

Exusiai nodded, looking somewhat sleepy. Mizuki blinked, seemingly already guessing the test results, but still finding it hard to believe.
