Chapter 1106: Her Answer



Maria knew there was something wrong with Arachne, her new evolution wasn't just that, it brought to her a powerful, demonic instinct, that she had tried to suppress this entire time.

That very same instinct that made the undead escape from her and even made the cultivators almost die out of horror, the same presence that made Wu Lieng be reminded of the Calamity that destroyed his home, the Three-Headed Golden Dragon.

It was simply an Aura, but it suppressed everything so much, that only a few could manage to cancel its effects by overlapping them with their own divine auras.

Maria knew that if Arachne continued developing this deadly power, it would only bring her demise, or everyone else's demise.

"Arachne..."

She held her adoptive daughter's hand gently, as she appeared by her side.

Her crimson eyes looked at Arachne's eight eyes, they looked about to cry.

"Tell me what you really want."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I..."

A simple question was all she really needed. Arachne's little fists tightened up, as she looked back at her mama and hugged her belly.

And Maria quickly felt her warm tears covering her dress.

"I don't want to be a monster..." Arachne started weeping, tears constantly falling from her eight eyes. "I didn't want to be born like this! Please help me, mama...!"

Arachne let it all out, as she started crying like she had never done before.

This was perhaps the first time that Maria ever saw the girl even shedding a tear.

And it was all the emotions she had been bottling up deep inside of her heart.

Since the moment she was born that she didn't want to be a monster.

She didn't feel identified with her kindred, she even felt slightly afraid of them at the beginning.

And as she experienced life with Maria and her family, she realized she didn't want anything else than to be like them.

A family, people...

She didn't want to be a monster at all.

"Then it's not that hard!" Nick nodded.

"Thank you everyone..." yawned Arachne. "Aah, it's hard to resist it..."

"Let's keep her busy!" said Nyx. "Hey, Celes, can you splash water into her face too?"

"Eh? I can but is she okay with it?" Celes wondered.

"It's fine, don't worry!" Arachne nodded. "T-Thank you... hmm..." she was slowly drowsily about to close her eyes again.

SPLASH!

However, Celes responded quickly, dropping a bit of very cold water into her face, making her quickly open her eyes wide.

"Ahh! R-Right, no sleep, no sleep... I'll eat while we talkt-then!" Arachne quickly started eating as Maria hurriedly prepared the ritual formation inside her Soul Scape.

She arranged all necessary materials, most of them extracted from her Soul Scape and also

from her Undead army, such as corpses, souls, and fresh blood.

"You're really going to extract a sin from a Calamity?" Tyr started to reprimand her. "Are you crazy, Maria?! Do you think that would even work?"

"I have to try, Tyr!" Maria said. "I know the method, it has to work, I'll make it work!"

"You..." Tyr sighed. "Okay, let me help them... What can I do?"

Tyr sighed, recalling a bit of his past, his fragmented memories coming back the more Maria absorbed new fragments of the evil god.

He also had a little family of his own, a wife and even two children...

The god could relate to Maria's struggles, and how a good parent would do anything for their

kids.

Even if it means having to do the impossible, they wouldn't rest until they did it.

"Thank you, Tyr, really."

Maria and Tyr continued creating the Demonic Ritual Formation.

Slowly, it all came together.

And the Ritual was soon about to begin.
