He blinked at her with astonishment. "What are you talking about?" Suddenly he remembered something and he looked at her flatly. "Do you think that Demon Elders will let me live after that? Yes, I o have seven lines of different bloodline, but I never used it to suppress or give hard time to anyone. And even if I annihilated them all, I still would be weaker than you. I'm not an idiot that you think I am."
"Then why did you put us in that array?" Zami didn't believe him a bit.
He tolled his eyes. "Because those cultivators that were bothering me were way too strong for you girls. I planned to escape anyway, but that would leave you, girls, in open. Do you think you five can fight four seventh boundary cultivators and survive? I can't. So I put a timed array that should let you out in five days. I had no time to bother with them as my wife sent me a message that my eighteenth child is about to arrive. Sigh."
Zami gaped at him in wonder and saw a tiny baby looking at her in wonder. "Demu, I give it a new name. My gift... Let me think."
She smiled and cut her finger. With her blood, she made a strange rune on the child's head and soon it disappeared. "From today on, you are under my protection."
She saw them looking at her and she chuckled. "That is similar to what humans call Godparent... Only a bit more powerful. In case of a deadly situation, it can use my power to escape even if it doesn't have powers. And if he had powers, I can help him cultivate them immensely. What should I give his parents as a gift?"
"Should I give them gifts?" Kendra could see the love in his eyes as he held the child carefully.
He looked up and blinked at her in wonder. "You... Why?"
"I can see you love your children, but eighteen is a lot. Give your wife some credit and stop producing." Kendra was loud enough for him to hear her words.
"Huh? How?" He liked being around his wife and looked at her anxiously.
"I'll prepare a portion that will stop both of you to gave children but won't harm your... Cough... activities." Kendra rose an eyebrow and looked at him.
He looked at his child and then realized what she said. With a smile, he floated nearby and pushed the baby into Zami's hands. "I'll be right back. I'll ask my wife what she has to say. It is on end her decision."
He indeed loved his children but this young woman is right. It is way too much. Kendra saw him smiling, he floated down towards the woman that stared at Zami with a smile as well and whispered to her what she offered.
She gasped for a moment and nodded. Then she looked at Zami and pointed at the baby.
Zami understood and floated away in a daze.
She saw from far her Elder floating up as he used his powers to do so and a bunch of people waiting for her in the main court.
"Elder, I came back as I feared..." She looked at the child in her hands and saw him making funny faces. "Sorry."
He shook his head with a big smile. "Actually, in your spot, I would probably think the same if this was the old world. But neither Markus nor Goddess Kaia would let him enjoy the 'blessing' for long. But why did you call the big meeting?"
Her call was probably the only thing that could make all Demons in the surrounding area come and be together. They lived in cities, but that doesn't mean they had the same thoughts as humans when living together.

She became serious. "First let me officially introduce you to Demu. I gave it the name. So I became its protector. Could you do the blessings?"
Elder looked at the child and nodded. "Let me see what blessings this child can catch."
Not all Demons are born with powers. Some gave amazing powers and some are as well as human commoners if not even weaker.
He rose his hands and the child floated up me turned suddenly into an imp. But, that was not all.
Everyone started gasping as it started showing a different kind of bloodlines and stunned even Elder. "Shapeshifter ability? You chose a good seedling. Very good! He has three basic abilities. Fire, water and wind. Let me see does he have some cultivation ability?"
This time Traz came with his wife on the floating bed. He heard his words and almost choked. From his eighteen children, only this one had true powers. He gratefully looked at his wife. "Thank you. It has been hard on you."
She glanced at the young woman with hopeful eyes and saw her naughty wink at her. Then she became serious and gave her calm nod.
No one knew that it was her wish to have so many offsprings as she wanted at least one with true powers. "Damu..."
"Zami gave him that name." Traz explained while looking at the Elder with excitement. "He is now under her protection."
Elder at the same time took the Eye and gasped as the Eye showed the child's power. "Healer? Does this child have the power of light? How is this possible! Our kind never had anyone with light ability. Damu... You are first! Call all Elders!"
Actually, Zami called everyone to officially explain to everyone the misunderstanding about her leaving. But this is much bigger than her own story.
Traz felt like his head was floating around as he felt dizzy. His son has light powers? How... how is this even possible?
While he was dazed his wife smiled brightly. "The blessing of Nature! We all stopped doing all those things and our children could finally become powerful. This is as we started protecting our kind and our surrounding. There is no other answer."
Elder looked at her with a huge smile. "Yes. Since we started caring about our own surroundings, even I became stronger. This child is maybe not the first that is born with both natural and cultivation power but is the first of our kind that is born with the power of light. It shows that our new way is something we should protect. Use Great Summon! Today, we celebrate!"
And that means the whole city celebrates.
Great Summon was strange lights that those into heavens and floated over the continent, showing his position.
Suddenly hundreds of creatures appeared around, floating in the air and saw him with a huge smile roaring. "Blessing of Goddess Kaia and Nature! We... we have the first baby born with light powers!"
The child suddenly floated up and just as everyone was staring at it, a strange light shot towards him and bounced off. Everyone gasped and turned their heads towards a group of people floating not far away.
Zim narrowed her eyes and chuckled. "So you finally showed yourself. I would like to know who gave you the right yo talk about me like I escaped from my duties? I never argued with Elder. He sent me out to grow my powers and become worthy of my official position. And why did you attack a child under my protection?"
The young woman glanced at everyone and waved her hand, but nothing changed. "How is this possible?"
Suddenly a beautiful man floated near the child and held him in his hands with a smile. "I saw Great Summon and thought something big happened. I am glad for Demon Kind to have finally opened the last and rarest of powers. What is his name and who is his protector?'
Zami floated forward and bowed respectfully. "My name is Zami and this is Damo. I'm his protector. I already put a protective seal on him so no matter who tries to harm him, he will be protected from harm until he is strong enough to protect himself. Even if I die, this deal will stay on his body."
"Very good. And now to you, young women. Who permitted you to act like this in the city? We put the city's up because it is forbidden to attack anyone inside. Let me check the protection deals and see if someone didn't mess with them. Elders spread around and find failed runestones. I fear someone destroyed one of your protection stones. Good that this happened or you wouldn't have noticed it until it's too late." Marcus glanced icily at the young woman that just calmly looked back.
She is calm, too calm. He asked his hand and smiled then brightly. "Never mind. I made a new kind of runes that can't be destroyed without setting up an alarm. I'll just give you that."
He asked his hand and a new protection shield came over the city and a bunch of runes floated over it.
Kendra looked at the familiar things right in front of her and strangely understood them. She nibbled her lip and then looked at Marcus. She wanted to stay away from him and Cethin, but this is not time to play around.
He could feel an intense gaze at him and look at the girl in wonder that pointed at one of the runes with a shake of her head. He glanced at it and realized the problem.
With a wave of the hand, changed the inscription and suddenly the shield became oppressive and disappeared.
Suddenly, a strange scream came from the bunch of young women that stood around and they fainted as strange creatures started leaving their bodies.
"Worms?" Marcus paled. He glanced at the girl and saw her flabbergasted expression.
She didn't know that this would happen and she seemingly was disgusted just like the person he knew. But her eyes were quite interesting.
He turned his head as he snapped out of his thoughts and used the communication stone to connect to someone. "Change the Earth rune to the Energy rune. I think then they will at least have a problem entering big settlements. Hurry!"
Judy as he finished saying that, one of Demon Elders fainted and fell from the sky down like a stone. He was about to catch him when he saw his expression and used blink to fly away.
Luckily he blinked away and at that place where he was floating a black loud appeared and he hissed.
"Fog of Damnation... Good. You want to play that way, then led us to play!" Marcus was finally angry but got stunned as the child in his hand giggled and soon all the darkness disappeared.
He completely forgot that he had Damo in his hands. He looked at the man and then at the child and his face became brighter. "He has evolved light powers. They can help balance light and darkness. How amazing!"
The Demon floated back and his eyes suddenly cleared. "What... what happened? Where I'm I?"
Just as he wanted to say more, he gasped...
