Chapter 836: Making A Hard Choice



Ethan felt heavy, unable to even open his eyes.

And yet, at the same time, he felt as if he were floating, which confused him a bit.l

The familiar feeling of water washing over him made him wonder if he was submerged underwater or not.

The last thing he remembered was that he summoned his Celestial Domain, dragging all the Red Chameleons inside of it.

Although he didn't know what happened afterward, he was confident that the Fairies who lived inside his Domain would be able to deal with the Chameleons.

Aside from them, there were also two dependable allies whom he could rely on to help if things spiraled out of control.

With all of this in mind, he hadn't been afraid of failing. He trusted that as long as they were around, things would be fine.

'I wonder where I am and how many days have passed since that battle?' Ethan thought. Since he couldn't move his body or open his eyes, the only thing he could do was think. But just as he was thinking about what to do next, a familiar voice reached his ears. "It has been a while, Ethan. I wish we have met in better circumstances."

"Mimir? Is that you?"

"Yes. It is me."

Although Ethan's eyes were closed, a vision appeared inside his mind, showing the Giant's severed head looking at him with a faint smile on his face.

"You've done it this time, Ethan," Mimir said in a teasing tone. "You've put yourself in a situation where you are at a Progenitor's mercy."

"Hah?" Ethan frowned. "What do you mean? Did I get caught by a Progenitor?"

"Yes," Mimir replied. "And right now, she is conspiring with Lyall to extract your seed and store it in bottles for future use."

"Huh?!"

"Hahaha! Just look at your face. Don't worry. I'm only half joking. Lyall is actually trying to convince her that taking it directly inside her body would be the best choice right now."

Ethan felt as if an impending doom was hanging right above his head.

Although Lyall wasn't really a Witch and didn't possess magical powers, there was still a very small possibility that if they did the deed, his Magical Circuits would regain their function.

Once that happened, he would be like a beacon to the other Progenitors, telling them where he was, which would start a war to acquire him as their vessel.

"Well, don't worry. Lilith and Hecate-I mean Ramona are protecting your body from Lyall's attempt to take advantage of your defenseless state." Mimir smirked. "But let's not talk about them for the time being and discuss something more important."

Ethan nodded and watched as the Giant's face became serious.

"Then what if I don't make a choice?" Ethan's voice almost broke apart after saying his words. "What would happen if I don't choose?"

"Then you will lose both of them," Mimir answered. "What Hecate hates the most is indecisiveness. She will not show mercy or empathize with people who couldn't make a

choice.

"You have to understand, Ethan. Not all Progenitors are fair. They, who stand above others and wield powers that defy common sense have become jaded with time. This is why they have developed quirks and habits that can lead to the demise or destruction of mortal souls.

"Think for now, and come up with a plan. Whatever decision you make, know that I will stand

by you."

Ethan felt at a loss as he closed his eyes to think.

If waking up would force him to make a hard decision, wouldn't it be better if he remained

sleeping?

Of course not.

Ethan knew this as well.

Not waking up was no different from being indecisive.

If he didn't open his eyes, no one would benefit from it.

He would not only lose Nicole and Hecate, but the rest of the people who had accompanied

him on this journey as well.

His grandparents, who are waiting for him back home, would become worried.

His sister and his parents, who had just recently become part of his life, would be left behind

as well.

He couldn't afford to lay still because doing so would leave him stagnant and endanger the people around him.

Inside Mimir's Domain, Ethan pondered his next move.

Right now, Sebastian and his Other Half weren't with him, so he needed to make this choice

alone.

A choice that would decide the fate of two people whom he cared for very much.
