Chapter 222 78: The Choatic Date [3]



Zell was shocked there was so much information; she likely skipped many things, but he understood something from her voice: how her body became weaker as she used that power; even now, her nose began to drip with blood.

He always wondered if the divines were so influential, how did she quickly lose her control just for one reset... His mind raced, trying to connect the threads; he was slowly becoming a husk... like the monsters killed in the game... he was... doing this in real life? 

No...! 

"Did you... make me into a living monster... Like those races who escaped?"

"Yup, that's right... to save my own life... I forced your soul to merge with the only bloodlines that could resist the constant time leaps... I didn't want you to vanish... So I traded my lifeforce... my divinity... all to gain the strongest demon bloodline and the closest dragon bloodline to a god... and made you into a monster wannabe... a hybrid of two races... a perfect man... the best in the world... the most powerful ... hahahahaha!"

Her lips parted from his, a look of insanity and despair filling her face as she pulled away from him, her hands dropping by her side as the world began to crumble into chaos; it showed the moments after his death.

"Zell... I'm just like my sister... I used you.... so I can live.."

"Veronica..."

'No, this isn't true... this girl isn't such a scheming woman. Zell, don't be an idiot and let her fall into this darkness. To save herself? She could have gotten the most basic blood and used magic to make you save her in the last moments! It's clear Veronica, like Yanfra and Yinfra, remembered everything!'

He watched as her body began to back away, her face twisted in pain, while he suddenly felt something click, remembering the first moment they met... Zell's mind began to remember his first life!

The strange occurrences should never have happened; why did he not buy the game unit? He was sure he bought it before being reborn; in the past, his mother lost the silver pocketwatch... Moths ruined his father's suit and couldn't be worn, yet why was it brand new? Was it renewed and cleaned every morning?

'The suit should have had some system text... This world is set after the third merging! Where is it!' His mind raced as he chased the fleeing Veronica, her little legs faster than he realised, as his eyes finally managed to see the information about his father's suit.

[Delacroix Father&Son Suit]

A suit worn by the father of Zell Delacroix, his idol and beloved role model, the jacket was doomed to ill repair and rot but was saved in its dying moments, the same suit restored and collected through the gaps in Time.

- Blessed by the goddess of Time

The moment he unlocked the seal, a blurry memory showed in his mind; the former blonde Veronica was holding this jacket, her hands with a small needle and thread that shimmered with a silver light, as she began to speak to the jacket, a picture of a boy... no it was a picture of him beside her!

"Happy birthday Zell! I hope we can meet soon... will you save me again? Hehe~ my sister said this Time I could become your support, as she finally accepted my begging... fufu... Support Angel Veronica? Does it make me sound pretty and cute? But what if you don't like me... It's scary... so many years just watching like a stalker..."

Even though Zell was curious as to what happened next, he forced his consciousness back into the here and now as he blocked out the memories of his other life.

"Veronica...!"

His body suddenly burst with demonic power, his wings unfurling as he shot into the sky, his speed causing a booming sound in his ears while the ground around him was crushed by the velocity and power of his flapping wings.

"Zell! You can't chase me! I am a goddess!"

Veronica shouted as she waved her arms, but he ignored her, his body soaring towards the heavens, right towards her as she slowed down, his body approaching her too fast.

"Who are you calling a goddess!? You're my cute support, Angel!"

Zell's lips met hers, his hands grabbing her slender neck and kissing her passionately while his body slammed into her and knocked her on her back.

"Ahhhhh!"

She screamed, her legs kicking as she tried to push Zell off her, but he was too strong, and her resistance failed; her stupid face was filled with snot and tears, but he ignored it; the pair of them kissed passionately while floating in the air, although their issues were far from fixed, there were many things she had to tell him, but he knew...

Had she not made him this way, could he have saved Tessa, Anya? Would he be able to destroy that bastard's avatar half? Or come this far...?

He held her body close, his wings flapping lightly, the white of his skin contrasting with the black of his hair.

"Veronica, I can't stay mad at you for long... Please don't cry... I know you were lying.... do you realise when you tell lies, your eyebrows raise and your nose twitches?"

His face was severe, but his voice was tender as he watched her tiny mouth open, her fingers touching her face as if she was caught. 

"My sister wasn't just lying!?"

"Don't cry. I'm not angry at you. I never was."

A smile appeared on his face as he leaned forward and kissed her again, her body trembling as she kissed him back.

"Stupid... why did you make it so complicated... I only exist because of you. If you died... I would never get to live again, even if it were a slug or rat, right?" 

"Hmph... who would let you become a rat... A cute hamster, maybe.."

They both laughed and snuggled closer together before kissing. After several more minutes of cuddling, Zell gently lowered his head, his lips still pressed against Veronica's.

"Veronica... what happened to me?"

"Ah... well... you know... I merged your soul with a demon bloodline... and the dragon bloodline... so you would gain their powers... but I am using my soul as the base... fixing us together... that's why I can hear some of your thoughts... and you mine... It's an evil technique... known as Soul Forging... used by demons to control their subordinates... That's why I made your soul the master.... and I am your little servant. But my sister told me that once you die... so will I."

Zell heard her words clearly and remembered how she acted in the past, her various faces and how she never acted selfish, only with a false show of words...

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "So... are you saying..."

"That... you used your own life as the price to save my mind, my thoughts... to save me?"

"Yes..."

Zell nodded, his hands gripping her waist, pulling her closer as he stared into her eyes, making sure she saw the sincerity in his gaze.

"I... I understand. I won't hold it against you. Because you saved my first life, it would be best if you had been free to save yourself. And I'll make up for the sins I committed in the past."

"Hahaha! Stupid... what sins..." Her cute voice sounded... before she blushed and looked away.

"Hmmm... if you want to make up for your sins...."

"Marry me..."

"Live a long life..."

"Don't die..."

"Have children with me..."

"Defeat the demons and save my sister!"

"Ah! And take me on lots of dates... I don't mind if they are with other girls... Lusia is nice... I am fine sharing... but don't forget me.. okay?"

"Time goddesses die when they are lonely..."

He laughed, unable to miss the last one.

"Are you a damn rabbit?" 

"Hmmm?" She looked at him, her huge eyes opened wide, and she swished her head, the two silver twin tails like rabbit ears... as he almost spurted blood... 

'Why is this girl so cute?'

Veronica held him tightly this time, ignoring his stupid words; having said her piece, she felt relieved, no longer keeping anything from him. She kissed his lips, her tiny pink tongue parting his mouth as they kissed.

"Very well~ I accept your proposal. I promise to live a long life with you and have many children with you~" sounded within his mind but reached her as their kiss became passionate.

The world around them flashed before it slowly returned to the shopping mall; not even a moment passed as everyone suddenly gasped seeing them deep-lying kissing in a tight hug, Lusia standing at the door, her face slowly forming a happy smile.

"Good.... my lord's heart suddenly feels brighter...." she whispered, stroking the crimson gem shining brightly between her bosom.

Her feet began to skip towards them as she wrapped her arms around Veronica and Zell, her lips pressing against his cheek, as the people around them began to gossip, the males jealous while the women feeling it was shameless.
