I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

The person who barged in was nearly four meters tall. If the ceiling here weren't six meters high, her head would probably have hit the ceiling.

Even so, the room seemed somewhat smaller because of her presence. She was like a goddess descended from heaven, or a majestic goddess statue in a church.

Upon closer inspection, she does indeed look different from humans.

She wore a classic half-body armor, exposing most of her skin. However, her abdomen was wrapped in a soft, thick leather covering, making it look like she had a pillow hanging on her stomach.

Her skin was pale blue, like the sea. It was covered in mysterious tattoos. Her pupils were golden, like a tiger's eyes.

This incredibly tall lady is Miss Anna.

Roland hadn't seen Anna in this form for a long time, and seeing her walking towards him step by step, he couldn't help but feel a tremendous sense of pressure.

Because of her enormous size, Anna's voice became muffled and deep.

"Roland, you're going to be a father!"

Roland could hardly believe that he had actually had a relationship with such a giantess. And even became pregnant... Wait a minute?!
Roland stared in astonishment at Anna's lower abdomen, a thunderbolt striking his mind. He finally understood the meaning behind the crying-smiling lady's earlier words.

Yes, Roland had a strange premonition when they were fooling around in the large pool in Maldore.

It has been more than six months now, and I only just found out about it.

At this moment, Roland didn't know how he felt. He felt as if his emotions had suddenly vanished, and he didn't know how to react.

Roland had experienced this once before, when a relative passed away. At that time, he felt he should be very sad, but for some reason, he couldn't feel sad, and his emotions were unusually calm.

He stood there helplessly until Anna's large hand grasped his small hand and stroked Anna's belly, at which point Roland finally reacted.

There, he sensed two extremely small, yet exceptionally powerful life forces.

They are connected to one's own bloodline, just like one's own flesh and blood.

A complex mix of emotions surged within Roland. He looked up at his tall wife and murmured to himself, 'I'm a father?'

At this moment, Roland felt incredibly conflicted, but more than excitement, he was worried.

Everything happened so suddenly. In this war-torn era, I actually had a child. Could I take on the responsibilities of a father?

Just a moment ago, he was a good-for-nothing brat who liked to cause trouble all the time, but now he's going to be a father.

Also, do I even consider myself a person?

He considers himself a human being, but does he really qualify as one?
Will my child be a normal person?

Will Anna and I give birth to a bunch of indescribable shadows? Or perhaps clumps of strange straw?

Roland felt dizzy and lightheaded, and suddenly felt completely unwell.

I wonder how a normal father would feel upon learning he's pregnant. But Roland, at this moment, looked as if he'd encountered a major problem, his brow furrowed in worry.

He felt no happiness at becoming a father for the first time; instead, he regretted not taking proper precautions.

Roland thought to himself, 'I suddenly understand my father. When my dad found out my mom was pregnant with me, he must have been very scared, very regretful, and very anxious, right?'

Damn, why didn't you find out about this sooner? Six months has passed, and you can't have an abortion now, can you?

Catherine, who was standing to the side, couldn't see Roland's face and didn't notice his expression, so she didn't know what this scumbag was thinking.

Her face was full of tenderness, and a hint of helplessness.

She didn't want Roland to know about it, especially since he was about to leave. Catherine worried that if Roland knew she was pregnant, he would feel a little bit burdened.

But now it seems that I was worrying too much.

Look at Roland, he looks exactly as he imagined—after learning he had become a father, he was trembling with excitement (regret and fear), so happy he didn't know what to say.

Catherine felt very happy at that moment, as if Roland were stroking her belly.

Catherine said, "The gestation period for elves is 12 months. In another six months, our child will be born."

After hearing this, Roland took a moment to react.

"Our children?"

Catherine said, "Yes, we share the same bloodline."

Roland's face immediately turned even more grim. He asked, "How could this be? How many pairs of chromosomes are there?"

How many pairs of chromosomes?

Catherine frowned for a long time before she understood what Roland meant from his pale face.

That guy was worried he'd give birth to two deformed monsters!

The clever Catherine immediately understood why Roland thought that way, and she was speechless for a moment.

Catherine asked, "Roland, do you think the Thousand-Eyed King is a monster?"

Roland couldn't help but recall his father-in-law's twisted, enormous figure. Roland coughed and said, "Well, what do you think?"

Catherine said, "The Thousand-Eyed King is a monster. Hundreds of years ago, when he first stepped into the Fifth Gate, I pushed him into the ocean of the lower world. He crossed that shattered world and entered the mad heaven. He is the greatest monster in the world, the god of madness!"

If it weren't for the King of Yellow Ferns, he wouldn't even be able to maintain this bizarre and twisted form.

Roland suddenly remembered something Catherine had once said—the Thousand-Eyed King saw great terror behind the fifth gate. He was lucky enough to retreat, but for hundreds of years afterward, he dared not step into that gate again.

Previously, when the King of a Thousand Eyes first met O'Reilly, he stated that, in terms of seniority, he was O'Reilly's uncle.

Roland initially thought it was because the Thousand-Eyed King was a friend of his father.

But in reality, that's probably not the case.

The King of a Thousand Eyes is of a higher generation than the King of Yellow Ferns, because he is a god of madness, or rather, a god of madness who escaped madness by using the divine body of the King of Yellow Ferns.

The Mad Gods span the past, present, and future; they are conceptual gods, part of the laws.

Therefore, he is with the law.

To outsiders, he appears to be over a thousand years old. But some people from ancient times may have seen the King with a thousand eyes.

Just like Roland, who was born more than fifty years ago, yet his shadow existed even in the mad and evil era.

Catherine then asked, "If the Thousand-Eyed King is a monster, then what about the children he had when he was still human? Were they human or monsters?"

Roland was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood what Senior Catherine meant.

Catherine said, “Roland, I am a human being, a pure human being. Because my father was a human being when he married my mother. Therefore, his offspring are naturally human beings.”

Even now, I am still a human being. Because when my father reunited with my mother, he had overcome his epilepsy and used a human body.

You are also a human being, a pure human being.

Your mothers were indeed once unspeakable evil spirits, but they were human when they gave birth to you.

After a pause, Catherine said, "When your father and my father met, your father chatted with my father about many things. He was very happy to have such a wife and children."

Catherine told a little white lie here, because when Roland's parents traveled, they would occasionally see glimpses of Roland's mother's past. In these glimpses, the Third Mother would unite with the past, transforming into the malevolent Old God. Roland's father was clearly not happy about this.

However, when Roland's mother was normal, his father was still very happy.

In any case, Catherine's words resolved a major knot in Roland's heart.

Roland has always had deep doubts about his identity. This not only greatly affects his mentality, making him prone to going astray, but also sometimes leaves him unsure of which side he truly belongs to.

Am I a member of the mad god's side, a member of the heavenly kingdom, or simply a human being?

Catherine helped Roland resolve his inner conflict, telling him that there were many people like him in the world. They were called wizards.

Once these wizards cultivate to a certain level, or once they go astray, they will completely change their past and future.

Even if they change, they are still wizards. For example, forbidden wizards like Heracles.

Roland thought to himself, 'I've been too attached to appearances. Alaye is my future self, a possibility that might happen in the future. It's an illusion.'

I can indeed use my future self, and this possibility, to make myself stronger.

I am indeed closely connected to my illusion. But the future me is not the present me, and the present me can influence the future me!

Roland suddenly had a strange thought: if he continued to develop normally without igniting the flame, what would become of his future mad god shadow?

And how will things change in the past that this divine figure has influenced?
If the wizards cannot find a path to truth in this world of chaotic laws.

So, can I use the divine shadow to find a path that should not exist in this world from among those countless possibilities? Can I use this to purify the madness of the divine shadow and repair the whole world?

Roland vaguely felt that he had grasped a very crucial thread, but for the moment he couldn't quite figure it out.

He even vaguely saw a faint line appearing in that 'spiritual world with no way forward'.

But in the blink of an eye, the line disappeared.

In any case, the senior's words enlightened Roland and made his mindset more stable.

Originally, Roland believed he was inherently a madman, and therefore destined to become one. With this mindset, his exploration of new truths from scratch risked leading him down the path of madness.

But now, Roland discovers that although the shadow of a future mad god hangs above his head, he can change it. His state of mind has completely reversed.

Even if he had found more of the old cult in the Holy See, he might have stepped into madness.

But things are very different now.

Regaining his composure, Roland once again stroked Anna's lower abdomen.

He truly understood his father's mindset back then—it was called responsibility.

Once this world, like a balloon, is pushed into a sea of ​​chaos by the great hand of the gods, then even if people aren't monsters, they will become monsters.

Conversely, if the world were to leave the hands of the gods, or even be completely restored, let alone become monsters, even if a human were to become a monster, there would be a chance to turn back.

Roland's gaze gradually hardened. Originally, he didn't want the future people of this world to live in such a terrible world. Now he had another reason.

He wouldn't let his children live in a world where things could end at any moment.

"So, why are all three of our children in Anna's belly?" Roland asked in surprise.

Catherine said, "Because I put the baby in my belly into Anna's belly."

Roland was completely dumbfounded—this is acceptable?
Catherine continued, "It's just a little mystery ritual, nothing special."

You know, wizards who are born with powerful magic and exceptional talent often awaken many strange abilities at a very young age.

Many children awaken their talents during the gestation period.

Ordinary talent is fine, but if one awakens spatial or teleportation abilities, then it is possible to be teleported out of the mother's womb.

If these children awaken elemental or even mystical powers, then it becomes even more difficult for them to be born normally.

The more a mother uses magic, or even mystical magic, during pregnancy, the more likely her child is to develop strange problems.

Roland was stunned; he suddenly realized something.

Catherine was also a monster. He and Catherine were both monsters because they were both wizards.

Catherine came to Roland's side, stroking the child she had placed in her sister's womb, her expression suddenly turning somber: "Roland, our world is not normal."

The higher the level of a wizard, the more likely they are to create all sorts of strange and wonderful things.

Anna is an ancient elf, a member of the Kashya people, a born deity. They possess an innate and extremely high resistance to pollution.

Moreover, she doesn't follow the path of a wizard, and she doesn't need to use mystical magic often, but I'm different; I need to use highly corrupting magic frequently.

Therefore, she is more suited to be a mother than I am.

Catherine wasn't actually telling the truth here. She was acting!

In fact, even if she gave birth to something indescribable, Catherine wouldn't care, because it was her child, whatever it was, it was her child.

Even when Catherine clearly suspected Roland of being a disgusting, mad angel, she still rode on him.

She's even afraid her child isn't human?
She was a typical wizard and didn't care about these things at all.

So she is lying.

There was only one real reason that led her to do this, and that reason was very pragmatic—she wanted to free up her belly so she could have more children with Roland.

Humanoid or monster, they're all my kids.

One of O'Reilly's remarks had been bothering Catherine deeply. O'Reilly said that 'Olivia' was engaged to Roland.

Catherine didn't know whether this Olivia referred to the goddess Heracles or the real Olivia.

However, that was a marriage arranged for Roland by his mother, the true God of Heaven.

If the fiancé is the goddess Heracles, then the situation is better, because Heaven will eventually seal away this dangerous element.

But if Roland was betrothed to the true daughter of the sun god...
There were some explanations for this matter, after all, Roland was a despicable half-human, half-god.

However, if the King of a Thousand Eyes puts his heart into making this happen, it can be accomplished.

Catherine knew her father very well, so she was quite certain that the King of a Thousand Eyes would do everything in his power to make this happen.

This marriage is highly advantageous to the current situation.

The King of a Thousand Eyes had absolute confidence in his son-in-law, believing that he would not be lured away by the Heavenly Kingdom.

So he would seduce his son-in-law into marrying this wife, and then defect to the Kingdom of Heaven to become a spy.

Therefore, Roland must have another wife, and this wife must have an extremely prominent background and status.

If she and Roland also have children, and her own child dies young, then who will be the rightful wife? Who will be the crown prince?
Therefore, before that slut Olivia has any children with Roland, she wants to have a bunch of kids with Roland to solidify her position as the first wife. (End of Chapter)
