Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 222 The Convergence of Fate

It was an illusory, dreamlike period of roughly sixty years.

Shati finally asked, "Is this Moher's emotion, or Julia's?"

The appearance of "Moher" opposite her finally changed; her jet-black hair and eyes turned pure white.

"Speaking of which, you and the Demon King were meant to be like this. She said you two are lovers, or more like twins, siblings? You look very alike."

“When she shapes her female appearance, she subconsciously leans towards me.” Yulia gave such a simple answer. “In this world, the only people she cares about are me and Doro, so it’s only natural that she would become like me.”

Shati understood Julia's meaning: "Why did you let me see this, let me spend this false, yet so sweet and happy time? Is it your mercy? At this point in my impending death, you have infinitely stretched out time, granting me final happiness, allowing me to die in warmth and without regret?"

The pure white pupils reflected Xia Di's image: "This is a corner of fate."

"A piece of fate...?"

"Mohe possesses the symbolism of astrology, but she doesn't truly have the ability to glimpse or manipulate fate—what I'm showing you is a tangible 'reality' that might actually happen. It turns out you once had every opportunity, but you made disappointing choices. As the saint I chose, you became arrogant and conceited while guiding the hero. You thought you could control him, so when you realized he would slip out of your grasp, you wanted to destroy him. You chose the wrong fate, the wrong future. 'What I can't have, I won't let anyone else have either'—it's this despicable thought that has cost you the happiness you deserved. This is not what I expected."

Xia Di remained silent for a long time before saying, "This so-called corner of fate that I've experienced is probably not what you expected, is it? What you expected was... him coming to the heavens to save your fate."

“Yes, you’re right. I look forward to my hero coming to save me, but it’s not the same. Because I can manipulate fate.” Her pure white eyes made it impossible to sense her inner thoughts, and Xia Di couldn’t judge the goddess’s emotions through those eyes. “Fate has been decided. No matter which path I take, it will eventually lead to the future where my hero comes to me.”

Is fate coming to an end?
I don't understand...

Xia Di felt that if it were Moher, he would be able to understand what the goddess was saying, but Xia Di couldn't understand why different choices and different futures would ultimately come together.

In the corner of what he called fate had passed, Doro had already died of old age. How could he possibly reach the goddess's side?

"Since everything is your arrangement, since you can spy on and manipulate fate, why don't you change your own fate of death? You should be able to change it."

"You don't seem to understand what I mean—the flow of fate is like water in a river. No matter how you change the course of the river or scoop up water from it, the water will still flow downstream, and fate will continue to flow as usual. No matter how tortuous or how much you resist, my fate of death was predetermined from the very beginning. Therefore, no matter what I do in the process, the final result will not change. Perhaps, the river of fate is not constant. When I gained the ability to observe fate and glimpsed it for the first time, my fate was already sealed."

What exactly are they talking about?
Completely incomprehensible.

Shady abandoned this line of thinking: "So, please allow me to ask you this question once more... Did you show me a glimpse of fate because of your mercy?"

No, I will let you live.

Yulia gave this answer directly: "It's not because you have the right to live, but simply because you are the most suitable at this time. My death is a given fact—resurrection through fate is an extremely difficult thing, but I have already seen it... What you see is my remaining will. I am giving you a chance to choose, and you have made the wrong choice before."

Her pure white eyes were so cold and calm—completely different from the goddess he had imagined.

"Above me and Moh, there should be another realm, a realm that can completely dominate all of this world, or a realm that can truly control 'time'. You do not have that talent, but Moh, or my hero, will one day reach that realm. So, if you accept this power, when they reach that realm, I hope you can become the vessel through which I return from time."

Charlotte still didn't understand.

"If such a realm truly exists, then even if I don't act as your vessel, as long as those two are willing, you can still emerge from time..."

She suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Because they don't love you."

“That’s right.” Julia’s expression remained unmoved. “So, die here, or accept my power and make Doro fall in love with you. It’s still your task—it’s a deal between us.”

“If Doro really falls in love with me, then I don’t need to care about the deal with you at all.”

“If you do that, I don’t think he will love you.”

"Did you see that?"

"I do not have."

Yulia said something that left Shati speechless: "But I believe in my hero more than anyone else. So, it's time for you to make your choice, Shati."

Do I look like I have a choice?

“Death is also a choice. I will let your soul return to the world of the dead and become a new life—this is the path that all life in this world must take. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. If you feel that your current life is causing you pain, then the God you believe in will forgive you for choosing death and bless you with a more joyful life.”

god--

goddess--

A being completely different from Moher, whether in words or thoughts... For some reason, Xia Di found Moher much more relatable; the great goddess instilled a sense of fear in her. A chilling dread from the depths of her being.

Is it because what stands before you is not a living goddess, but merely a remnant will, not a truly living person?
She reached out her hand to the goddess: "How...how can I obtain your power?"

"Your talent is insufficient to reach this realm, so I have preserved my will... This will become a tool to help you master my power. You will not be as strong as them, but you will still be able to barely step into this realm... However, to bear my will and accept my soul, you will need a very long time. Let me think, at least—ten thousand years, right? You must understand for yourself what the convergence of fate truly looks like. What you have experienced is only a corner of fate. Now, it is your turn to experience more of fate."

……

The evil spirit and Moher both looked at Shady, who was absorbing the goddess's power.

“This is! Yulia…” Mohe’s gaze turned serious. After a moment, she looked at the evil spirit. “Evil spirit, it seems that Yulia doesn’t really rely on you, nor does she intend to let you live. She chose Shadi. Shadi will not die here. Yulia has arranged everything.”

Having remained motionless, the evil spirit, whose neck was being choked by Doro, finally began to struggle—a difficult, frantic struggle. Pure white power emanated from her as she began to wrestle with Doro.

Doro's hand remained unmoved; he simply asked, "What happened?"

"Although it sounds strange, life forms at our level are indeed like centipedes that die but do not fall down. The goddess must have seen her own future death through fate, and then she manipulated fate, leaving something behind so that Xia Di could inherit her power, thus allowing her to retain the seed of resurrection. I think I know what she is waiting for."

"To manipulate fate?"

Moh shook his head: "It's hard to describe in detail. In fact, I don't have any symbol of this power. In this respect, Yulia has indeed gone further than me... However, even so, it won't be easy for Shati to obtain this power. He should be undergoing painful trials right now. It won't be a pleasant thing."

Now, seemingly without any restraint, she directly reached into Julia's body, and the evil spirit let out a painful howl. Moh, however, turned a deaf ear: "I know what you're trying to do, evil spirit. You feel that your plan is not going to succeed, so you want to join forces with the power of blessing, at least to protect yourself, right? It's meaningless."

A hint of mockery flickered in her eyes: "You are hatred, you are a curse, and coincidentally, this power called misfortune is exactly what I excel at."

The symbol of the curse began to spread from Mohenna's right hand, which had penetrated Yulia's body: "What you may not know is that I made some modifications to this power some time ago. I transformed it into a power called witchcraft, and the life forms that wield this power I call wizards. Wizards increase their numbers through the Wizard Tree and the Wizard Seed, just like the oldest life forms. Didn't Yulia also create the Elf race on the ground as an imitation of the World Tree? You should understand that better."

"stop!"

"Relax! Since Yulia has chosen Shati by her own will, I naturally can't let this part of your hatred and curse just dissipate like that. I will also give you a choice. Who was it again? Adriana's favorite thing to talk about, the so-called balance." Her hand began to withdraw from Yulia's body.

"No! No!!! I don't want to!!!!!"

The evil spirit finally let out a desperate wail, but although both Doro and Fickel showed a hint of reluctance, no one interrupted Moher's actions.

A jet-black seed was extracted from Julia's body by Moh.

“Mr. Doro, you can release her now. Now, we just need to wait for Shady to receive all the power of the goddess.”

Moh carefully put the seed away, then looked at Doro and Fickel: "Who do you think is more suitable to contain this part of the evil spirit's power? This life was born from the goddess's hatred and curse. Only those with a very strong will can resist this thing's hatred. But on the other hand, this thing can also bring very powerful strength."

"But it's useless to us, isn't it?"

Doro was somewhat puzzled.

"So, Mr. Doro, you lack a bit of romance! I personally think that short-lived people have a high pursuit of romance, but you are the opposite... Don't you find that kind of thing interesting?"

So, given that Moher's vault already contained all sorts of strange and unusual things, it seems plausible that she would be interested in such things—

"Now that you have ascended the throne of the One King, if you simply order the story of the hero to be erased, in about a hundred years, the world will forget the story of the hero. At that time, I will put this seed in a treasure chest, and then you will announce to the world about the hero. The person who finds the 'Seed of God' will be the true hero. Then the person who finds this thing will coexist with Yulia's hatred and curse. Then observe what kind of path this person will take, whether he will be devoured by hatred and curse, or resist such emotions and become more and more determined and great... It's a very interesting game."

She seemed to have already envisioned that scene: "A little game to pass the time—as you live longer, you'll know how fun such a game is, capable of whiling away decades of boring time. And with our will, the story can be continuously rewritten. Isn't that a delightful thing?"

...This is something Moh would do.

Hearing this, Doro frowned: "You wouldn't have thought the same thing when I was born, would you?"

"...I thought your birth was a signal that Yulia was compromising with me. You see, Yulia, in human terms, is a tsundere, right? Because her ideals differed from mine, she went and created the Celestial Realm, determined to prove herself right. But she still causes trouble on Earth from time to time—I thought you were created by her to amuse me. I was thinking of sending something to the Celestial Realm for her after you finished your business, but you just killed me."

Moher addressed her with the formal "you" at every turn. She was practically a perfectly competent maid: "So, now I can only pay the price for my past misconceptions and, as your maid, patiently serve you..."

She looked at Yulia's body lying on the ground: "Are you interested in Yulia's body? If so, I will now create a soul that will obey you completely, so that you can enjoy both my body and hers at the same time."

"...No matter how you look at it, this is too blasphemous."

Fickel, standing next to him, covered his eyes as if he had already seen the scene.
