376 The bond between the void and fate (curse) bond (curse)
"When I realized it, Malu had already gone to Germany, the devil's base camp."
"That fool, didn't she even see such an obvious conspiracy?"
"Of course, this is what I thought at that time. If it were now, I would definitely be ahead of her and solve everything without letting her take risks."
The father of Zhai said this, with a gentle smile on his face.
“…because of strength?”
"No, it's because of guardianship."
"Although it is a cliché, when a person protects something, his power will be endlessly improved, just like me at that time, including you and Colos."
“…”
"Forget it, I won't mention this. When you really think about it clearly, you will naturally understand it."
Seeing Azaka's silence, Zhai Dad immediately stopped the topic, and once again returned to that somewhat magnificent and a little silly era.
...
"Since I got off the plane, I felt a strange atmosphere. I was the only passenger who got off the plane, and the entire airport was empty."
"But maybe because I had a strong desire to see my parents, I didn't care too much at that time. I called a car at the airport door and went straight to my parents' residence."
"Then, what caught my eye was not my parents' villa, but a huge black castle."
"Devil's castle!"
...
"Speaking of this, the little girl in your body should know about this. After all, Malu and I finally went to hell at that time."
"That's how it is." The answer received from Barria made Azai even more curious about the next development.
"Although Malu is the reincarnation of the saint, she is just a little girl in this life. Although she has awakened a little bit of the ability to purify, she is no different from ordinary humans in most cases."
"Thus, when I arrived, Malu had already been caught by the demons."
Speaking of this, Zhai Dad couldn't help but pause for a moment, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. "Guess, those demons were trying so much to catch Malu."
"...Saint?" Azai thought for a while and gave a vague answer.
"Well, to be precise, it is to make Maru the goddess of fate again." A sarcastic smile appeared on the face of the father.
"Even the demons, they have the desire to survive. No! Or because they are demons, their instinct to survive is stronger."
"There are not many people who know that Malu is the reincarnation of the saint. However, a certain demon king in hell has seen the saint and her first reincarnation, so he is a little sensitive to the aura of Malu. After investigation and verification, he even confirmed Malu's identity."
"And then, something ridiculous happened."
"Even though it was a race that embraced the darkness, the demons present kept worshiping Malu who was tied to the cross. They looked even more pious than some guys who claimed to be a crazi person in the church."
"But think about it later. Most of the demons are ancient demons who have survived for countless years, and their strength can sweep half of hell. But because of this, they are even more afraid of the destruction of the world. No, in the words of that demon king, if the world that gave birth to them is destroyed, then as the sons of the world, their strength will not decline, but their potential - the future blessed by the world, will slowly disappear, and eventually become a waste that can never be improved."
...
"The name of the ceremony sounds very nice, called 'Saint Resurrection'. However, even if one of the Seven Demon Kings in Hell came to preside over the ceremony in person, it was a little unqualified. During the ceremony, I restored part of the memory of Joan of Arc in the previous life, and at the same time, part of the power from the goddess of fate was awakened, but there were only so many."
"Well~ If I had given the devil a little more time at that time, maybe I would have really turned back to the goddess of fate."
"but……"
...
"But with your father's brave performance, Malu was finally rescued by me."
"Tell me the point." Azhai suddenly interrupted without caring about the chastity's self-proclaiming father.
"What else can you do? You can't beat it, explode, restore your strength, and finally abuse it. It's often seen in the boy comics."
"But it was also thanks to that devil king that I could realize who I am."
"So, who are you?" Azhai asked again.
"Your dad, Malu's husband, and... the person who gave up the entire void."
"I haven't said it yet. Although I went to Hell to fight with Malu afterwards, after I came back, we both sealed our own power. Because Malu did not fully inherit the power of the Goddess of Destiny, after the power was sealed, he had only the strength of the silver limit, and I was still at the level of gold."
"As for the future of the void... the problem that my body has not solved in the previous life, do you think I, who had no moral integrity at that time, would you care?"
"But……"
"Nothing is not true!" Seeing that Azaka wanted to refute, Zhai's father couldn't help but interrupt, "I'm just one-eighth of the guy left behind, and I can't take on too much responsibility."
“One-eighth?”
"Don't forget the curse he carried. Each curse took away some of its power before his death, and then hid in the void. Seven paths were seven kinds, and what was left was my empty body."
Speaking of this, the father of Zhai symbolically squeezed out two tears, but this seemed very fake to Azhai.
"Then, we will meet Kogoro and the others, go to school normally, take up a job, and then we will meet your other four mothers in the process of becoming a detective, and then you will be born..."
"Originally, I thought I would watch you spend your life safely, but when I was away, the Lord God would sneak in and kidnap you away. What's even more hateful is that he actually arranged for you to meet Colos, who also has the potential of the goddess of fate!"
"It is more appropriate to say that it is a curse than a bond. Even a young girl who is similar to them will feel a sudden heartbeat as soon as they meet."
"... What's more, you are still the son of me, the false Lord of Void, and Colos has inherited the purest bloodline of the Lord of Void and the Goddess of Destiny."
