Chapter 1019 1019: Adventurr

"What are they saying to you now?"

"Random! Random!"

"Enel, please do not bother Miss Death."

"It is quite alright, it is not often that I can interact with life at its early stages — especially someone so unique."

"...Are you saying our youngest has an ability, my dear best friend?"

"Lucifer, do not bother her — and she is not your best friend."

It was quite the surreal scenery, but at the same time, it was quite a normal one; like if one were to enter a house, one could probably see something like it 7 out of 10 times. Children, being curious about their parents guests.

That is, if the guest is literally an anthropomorphic personification of Death.

"I knew Father was special," Renna kneeled down in front of Death, "But I would have never thought that he would actually have a relationship with Death itself."

"Your father is more special than all of you think," Death gently removed Enel to prevent her from climbing up onto her face, "He exists to replace us, that is why he is the way he is — I hope you do not mind me revealing this information to them, Riley Ross."

"I do not mind at all, but I wished to be the one to tell them that."

"...You should have also told that to us, Father," Arthas raised his hand to speak, "Not only just you saying you were a serial murderer before."

"I knew it," Renna closed her eyes.

"Bullshit, this is bullshit."

And while Riley's children seemed to be welcoming of Death, Karina seemed to be completely wary of her even though she revived Enel right in front of their eyes,

"You expect Dad to just go on an adventure with you, after you trapped him in the Domain of the Gods? The Domain of the Gods, mind you, which held murderous fucks who waged a war against each other as soon as they were free!"

"Yes, that was very unfortunate — but that will never happen again," Death shook her head before finally returning Enel to Esme, who immediately embraced him; checking on his neck to see if the wound was still there.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

"One of you just tried to murder my brother. Dad, you can't actually be thinking of going with her, right?"

"A deed was done, and a price must be paid," Death shook her head.

"Because one of you tried to kill my brother!" Karina wanted to erase Death there and then — no, perhaps she truly did, but she was completely unaffected.

"Karina, calm down — you're starting to sound like Hannah," Katherine held her daughter back before she could make any more hasty decisions, "And it is not our place to get in between Death and Riley, they... are primordials and exist on a plane above us."

"You have a child with one of them. Hell, all of you have a child with Dad!" Karina pointed at Esme, Katrina, and Liza, "We just got him back and he's already being taken away again!?"

"You are coming with us, Karina," Death then explained as she looked at Karina.

"We might," Death nodded, "He is the one who informed me of what was happening — the current situation is... disturbing his search, he said to me. My only worry...

...is that we might meet the Eternal Child there too."

"Is... she—he dangerous?" Karina took in a small gulp.

"He is, but not in the way you think," a small hint of a smile could be seen crawling on Death's face, "I am truly just hoping we don't encounter him. He is... the complete opposite of your father in the worst ways."

"When... are we going?"

"Karina!?" Katherine could not help but raise her voice as soon as she heard her daughter's sudden eagerness when she was completely against the idea at first, "You're not going with them! I mean, why does my daughter even need to go?"

"That's right..." Lucifer blocked Karina from Death's view before covering half his face, "...Why not me, the favorite child instead?"

"You are not Father's favorite child," Renna crossed her arms, "It is me."

"No, me! Me!" Enel jumped from Esme's hands as he started jumping in place, "I'm the most interesting child, I heard it from one of the Big Eyes!"

"That—"

"Now," Death then snapped her fingers, and as she did so, a portal opened up in front of her, "One of your companions is actually already waiting for us on the other side."

"Hm..." Riley just let out a small breath before nonchalantly following Death.

"Wait, Riley!?" Katherine quickly grabbed Riley's hand before he could take 3 steps, "But... we just got together again."

"I believe that if I do not do this, then it will be impossible for us to get together again in the future, Katherine."

"Riley Ross is correct," Death nodded, "With my brothers and sisters sick... Life as all of us know it will be gone."

"That—"

"Interesting," Riley then turned to look at Death, "So, this is why you have waited this long and this moment to approach me, Death."

"...Yes," another hint of a smile crawled on Death's face, "If I approached you about this before Enel and the others existed, then you would definitely not be helping me — now, you have a reason to."

"My reason would just be different, Death," Riley glanced at Karina.

"Perhaps, but I couldn't risk it," Death then shrugged before stepping onto the portal she created, "I will be waiting for you and your daughter on the other side, Riley Ross."

"There is no need," Riley muttered as he quickly followed behind Death. Before he could step inside, however, Renna embraced him from behind.

"Father," Renna whispered,

"Please... come back."
