Chapter 100: I was... Cheated!
Hmm? What?… This isn’t… Oh, no! Celia actually blocked me!!! You… you… I am so going to complain to the present Celia when I get back!…
Xena: “Celia… did it. Now, no Universe is lacking Mana, and they never will.” She informed, not really sounding happy about this.
Ria: “We can Evolve now, huh?…” She added, her voice that of a mentally drained person.
Thud!
Alisa: “Everyone! Celia’s method… we have to figure it out. That girl… she must have done something horrible to get this result, a self-sacrifice that none of us could ever have the strength to carry out.” She angrily yelled, but only after slamming her hand down on the table to get her point across.
I agree! Celia… look, look, I understand that my commentary is rarely ever serious… But I am furious!!! At this rate… I will never know the truth.
Celia literally stole my right to witness and narrate that section. All because… seeing it would reveal everything to me. So hurtful…
Guanyu: “You all… acting so childish. Is it really so wrong for Celia to have a secret? She’ll always share everything else with us. Let her have this one mystery to herself.” She lectured with a stern tone.
Everyone else: “…”
They… we know that Guanyu is privy to what Celia is hiding. Rather than this causing her strife, it now made the Cultivator the de facto leader of the harem, and the mother with the highest authority.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
It also helped that Guanyu is, and always will be… the strongest of the family. Regardless of how sour my mouth feels right now… I have to admit that this woman is correct. Although… it just further increases my curiosity about what Celia and she are hiding…
Maralia: “And yet, you know of it, don’t you?” She said with an upset tone and expression.
Guanyu: “She might reveal it… in time. Or Celia will never speak of this. However, if either of you were in her position, faced with that, you would keep quiet about it forever.” She continued, lecture seemingly not over.
Maralia: “…”
Guanyu: “Yes, I know the truth, and it is a pain that Celia and I will share together. A privilege… and a curse. Allow this first act of true selfishness from Celia, or you all will regret it.” She ruthlessly threatened, releasing some of her power, before then soon leaving with just that threat.
A Month Later.
Celia: “This is just cruel…” She said with great disgust and reluctance.
Ria: “Cruelty is our only choice now, dear.” She replied with a coaxing smile, urging Celia to do what was required.
Celia: “Forgive me, little one…” She relented, forcing herself to not cry.
Slash!
The attack connected, and now, lying dead on the ground… lifeless as can be… was a rabbit.
Runey: “Awa… it really only gave 1 EXP, huh? Well, that was all that you needed, Mom.” She said with a hearty laugh.
Celia: “My hands… are those of a filthy, horrid sinner.” She replied with feigned sorrow, joking all the way.
Lia: “Alas, our family, out of boredom, had eradicated all monsters before any of us could Evolve. Only woodland creatures are left now…” She added, trying not to laugh.
Before this, everyone had obtained the last required EXP to reach the final Level of their Evolution. Even still, Celia waited for everyone else to do this… before then doing the same.
Celia: “Status.” She summoned her System, which I’ll omit, as, besides one extra Level, it was the same as before.
Zia: “It is finally time.” She said with a smile.
Celia: “That it is… I can now Evolve. When I push accept… we might be separated again.” She expressed anxiously, tone seeping with seemingly endless worry.
Flash!
They had already said their goodbyes, so there weren’t any more words spoken. At the same time, Celia’s wives, daughters, and friends all accepted the Evolution together. The future… uncertain. Celia’s secret… hidden. How interesting!
