Chapter 678 Lith’s Grandmother
"…elders killed us."
Lith got another shock hearing that. The clan killed their own members? Why?
Aegis could guess Lith's next question. He ruffled Lith's hair and continued in a gentle tone, "You see… Your grandmother, she did something she was forbidden to do."
"She married a person from the rival clan — The Asura God Clan — and brought a calamity upon herself."
'Sigh, I can fully guess the reason now.' Lith thought to himself as he got the hint.
"So for this, the clan hunted her, right?" Lith replied.
Aegis nodded. "Right. Your grandmother and your grandfather had a bounty on their heads and after years of hiding, they were finally found and chased by both the God Clans."
"They both were almost caught at one point, but your grandfather stayed behind to keep the people busy while ensuring your grandmother escaped with your mother."
"She tried to escape but the two clans' elders found her and started chasing her again. Eventually, your grandmother found me and we both came to this world."
"This world was mine and Hamza's home. We both were the Gods of this place while Hamza was also the Star Master. Then…"
Aegis stopped narrating and instead, snapped his fingers.
Lith was pulled into a battleground suddenly and around him, there were fourteen masked people with one group in them donning black and red robes while the other wore black and gold robes.
The black and red robed people having a big bat symbol with roses surrounding it on their backs while the other group had a demon's face in gold inscribed intricately on their backs.
Both the groups were fighting a divine silver-haired, red-eyed beauty and two handsome men with red eyes, black hair and gray eyes, blue hair.
It was Lith's grandmother, Aegis, and Hamza respectively.
Lith's grandmother looked a lot like his mother but not too similar like how he and his mother looked.
It was apparent that his mother probably had the features of both her father and mother while Lith had all his features similar to his mother.
The old man walked beside Lith and pointing at his grandmother, said, "That's Lauren Evure, your grandmother, that's me Aegis Evure, and that's Hamza the Star Master."
? , ? ? ? ? ? ?.
He then turned to look at Lith and said with a warm smile, "I can see that you have the same features as your mother Lilith. The silver hair, the purple eyes… you know… if the Evure God Clan people were to find out you had purple eyes, they would gouge them out."
Lith's expression turned grim.
The silent old man Hamza started chuckling this time. He walked yourself pretty lucky."
Aegis nodded. "Your grandfather had that rare shade and it was towards Lith and said, "those eyes are a signature of the Asura God Clan. No one else in the entire solar system possesses that rare shade of amethyst purple other than those guys. Not just that, only someone from the main family can have that, so you can count yourself pretty lucky."
Aegis nodded. "Your grandfather had that rare shade and it was passed down to your mother Lilith. Now it has come to you too, so my child, you must always be careful."
Lith didn't know what to do other than nod. In front of these two old men, he really felt like a child. He had never felt this even in front of his mother!
Aegis then stopped talking and pointed at the battle that was happening.
The fourteen people were successful in suppressing the three guys but Hamza being the Star Master, had full access to the world and somehow managed to keep them at bay.
Lith's grandmother Lauren was fighting while carrying his three year old mother. She took considerable damage as she not only had to defend herself, but also her baby.
Lith's throat turned heavy and his eyes were starting to moisten up looking at this scene.
There was also rage building up as he saw how his helpless three-year-old mother was being consistently attacked by the elders.
The elders weren't targeting the three guys, but the toddler with them specifically.
They wanted this hybrid of the Evure God Clan and the Asura God Clan to die!
Silver hair was a rare color only the ladies of the Evure God Clan possessed. The hair color of men varied but another thing that remained constant between them all was their eye color which was blood red.
The fourteen elders which were attacking were seething with rage as they saw the hybrid abomination possessing both the signature traits of two clans.
The more they saw the toddler with silver hair and purple eyes, the more was their anger intensifying.
Lith's mother got small cuts on her faces from the clashes but his grandmother Lauren did her level best to protect her as much as she could.
The people want to slice the three-year-old's scalp and gouge her eyes out. But thankfully due to Lauren, there were only minor cuts on his mother's face.
Lith really was fueled with anger watching this and closed his hands into fists. His nails dung into her palms and made blood gush out, but this amount of physical pain was nowhere close to the one he was feeling mentally.
"HAMZA, KEEP THEM BUSY!" Lauren shouted on the battleground as she found an opening and escaped.
"I'LL BE BACK IN TWO MINUTES."
"BE QUICK!" Hamza yelled back.
The battleground's scene changed and Lith saw Lauren entering a secluded and safe space away from the battleground.
Lauren put her three-year-old baby down on the ground and as tears gushed down her face like a waterfall, with a heavy throat, she kissed the toddler's forehead and said,
"My baby… My b-b-baby… mumma can't be with your for long… I am so s-s-sorry…"
The toddler didn't understand anything but smiled gently and placed a hand on Lauren's face, as if trying to comfort her.
Lauren cried a lot and hugged her toddler. "I am sorry… I am so so so sorry…"
After hugging and crying her heart out for a good minute, Lauren put the toddler down and cast a spell on her that made her fall asleep.
She then tied a locket around her neck and walked out of the abandoned house she was in.
Before leaving, she gave one final look to her child and wiping her tears and changing her expression into that of a determined and serious one, she said, "my baby… you must live."
"You must live and become strong."
"For mumma you have to!"
Lauren wanted to leave after saying so but she couldn't bring herself.
She walked towards Lilith again and squatting down, kissed Lilith's head and hugged her again.
"I love you, my baby. Mumma loves you soooo much. Please… for mumma… survive…"
Lauren's teardrops fell on Lilith's head.
Finishing saying those words, Lauren left this time without looking back while the toddler Lilith slept soundly on the floor of the abandoned house.
Lith, Aegis, and Hamza, all three men who were watching this had tears trickle down their face without even them knowing. They had the same sadness and rage course through them.
After Lauren left the secluded place, she returned to the battlefield, this time like a blood-thirsty warrior.
Her eyes were filled with the intent to murder and her aura was exploding with a strength nobody had seen before.
"AEGIS, HAMZA, GET READY!"
