Chapter 147: Chapter 141: Twins and the “Thunder Attendant” Consecution (Vote for Monthly Ticket!)
In the basement of the Fischer family manor, Byrne, Irene, Chris, Theo, Vanessa, and Archibald gathered together.
Moore and the other Blood Receivers all had their own matters to attend to, and they were not usually included in the family meetings.
In the familiar corner where Erik's figure was not seen, Byrne was silent for a long time before he began to speak:
“Let's review according to the family rules, if you were the Thunderous Monarch, what would be the best course of action?”
Theo shook his head seriously and said:
“Starting war from the beginning was the wrong choice. The White Sea is even larger than Cyart, and the tens of thousands of members of the Sea God Cult are scattered across countless islands, with many sea tribes ready to assist. They can hide in the sea at any time.”
“The cost of this war is too enormous. Even if the entire power of the Tempest Church in the east were invested, they would not be able to completely annihilate the Sea God Cult in a few years.”
Archibald nodded in agreement, exclaiming as if he had an epiphany, “I think Mr. Theo's point makes sense!”
Byrne remained silent for a long time before stating calmly, “On the contrary, I think this war must be fought.”
“At that time, attacks struck all over Cyart. People's desire for revenge and their anger were extremely high, so both the Cyart people and the Tempest Church had to strike back.”
“Although we all know that the Sea God Cult will not give up in the future, the ones who have been hurt right now will not invade for a long period.”
“If we had let the Sea God Cult be from the beginning, they would likely continue to invade the coastal areas. Only by making them feel pain and fear can we gain a short peace.”
He paused for a moment before finally saying hoarsely, “Without war, there would be no peace.”
Archibald nodded repeatedly, convinced, and sincerely added, “The head of the family is absolutely right!”
“In fact, there might not be only one way to solve it through war.”
Irene suddenly offered a different opinion.
She calmly stretched out her hand, silently gazing at the sacred object.
“Regardless of whether a war is launched or not, it won't fully resolve the problem of the Sea God Cult. Perhaps we might find a better path in the future to remove this persistent issue.”
“That would be the third method.”
Byrne and the others looked towards the sacred object following her gaze, each harboring a thought deep within their hearts.
The strong foundation of the Sea God Cult is the Sea God, as well as the steadfast belief in the hearts of every devotee.
It is their unshakeable faith that has supported them over the years as they, the underdogs, challenged the powerful Tempest Church.
“Now I see, I understand what you mean,” Byrne said with a slight nod.
Archibald kept nodding, genuinely feeling that Hospital Director Irene's words made a lot of sense.
“That's exactly what I think too!”
After the family meeting concluded and the others had left the basement, Irene and Vanessa remained behind, while Chris waited outside in silence.
Vanessa excitedly undressed, waiting for Irene's next treatment.
Irene attempted to heal Vanessa's withered leg, streaked with black spots, shadows of trees appearing in her eyes as she infused powerful energy from the “Spirit-returning Tree” runes.
In the end, the treatment failed.
No matter how much power she channeled, she could not reverse the special nature of Vanessa's body, only to relieve her pain.
Vanessa was silent for a long while before smiling slightly, “It's okay. I've been used to this for a long time. It's really not a big deal.”
In the past, they had even attempted amputating the leg to regenerate a limb, but it had no effect either, with the new leg growing back the same. This fail was therefore expected.
Despite this, deep down Vanessa felt a touch of disappointment.
Even though Chris didn't mind at all, she wanted to offer her best side to him and always tried not to let that leg touch Chris's near-perfect body.
Irene, with an urgent look and a deep frown, said, “No, that's not right, strange, it's not an issue with the soul! I thought it was just some curse, but it seems that the problem within that leg is more complex than I thought!”
Through the runes of the “Spirit-returning Tree,” she could vaguely sense an even more unsettling presence deep within Vanessa's soul.
What exactly was it?
Irene could not comprehend it, and when she prayed to the Lord of the Lost, the only response she received was that there was no need to worry.
Vanessa calmly stroked her bulging abdomen, a tender smile on her face.
“I've gotten used to it. It's alright, Irene, don't worry about it,” she said.
At that moment, her only wish was for the children to be born healthy.
More than half a year later, Vanessa finally gave birth to twins.
“Wah!”
Cries of a baby echoed from a room in the manor, and the Fischer family outside were momentarily stunned, then filled with immense joy!
However, upon entering the room, they found Irene silently gazing at them, as if about to speak but then shutting her mouth.
“What's the matter?”
Chris's brow was deeply furrowed as he asked anxiously.
With his sister there, it should be theoretically impossible for anything to go wrong with the birth, so why was she still silent?
He walked forward slowly, and soon saw Vanessa holding the twins, smiling, yet her eyes also held a heavy shade.
“Chris, the children…” she seemed on the verge of tears, holding back the rest of her words.
Chris looked at the newborns that had just come into the world, took a deep breath, and his body began to tremble slightly.
One boy, one girl.
They had the same strange deformities as Vanessa!
The boy's right arm was withered and covered with black spots, while the girl's legs were completely withered and covered with black spots, as if they were under some ghastly and terrifying mad curse!
Chris's breathing quivered, his eyes filled with disbelief, but he still gently touched his two children.
No matter how strange and deformed they were, as their father, Chris would love them.
But deep inside, the usually reticent man also felt sad for his children's misfortune.
High above, Karl watched the Fischer family's silence calmly.
Months ago, he had sensed the oddities in Vanessa's unborn children.
“It's just that unlike Vanessa's condition, the anomalies in her children's bodies and souls might not all be bad, so it would be better to observe them a little longer,” he thought vaguely.
Karl could now subtly and vaguely see certain destinies of those in the future, silently speculating.
“The ultimate outcome should not be in this generation, but with the next, after the twins, yet that future is not certain; if the two of them die too early, then that generation will never appear, and the ultimate outcome will never present itself in the Fischer family.”
Then Byrne, the most knowledgeable and also the head of the family, at Vanessa and Chris's request, named each of the Fischer twins.
The girl was named Christine, which means “follower of God.”
The boy was named Karno, meaning “intelligent and brave.”
Both of them had bright red, complex brands on their hands, and although they were deformed from birth, they were both adorable and had inherited Chris's silver-white hair.
Seeing the sleeping children, Byrne couldn't help but smile, saying,
“What a coincidence that all my kids have black hair, while Chris's children all have silver-white hair; they'll be easy to tell apart in the future.”
Vanessa and Chris were just about to nod when they suddenly felt as if some invisible shackles had been placed on them!
It was a very real sensation they could not ignore, as if it was a law hidden in every corner of the world.
So that was it. Chris silently gazed at his wife and nodded slightly, indicating that he too felt the power of the world's laws.
Vanessa sighed and said, “The limit of procreation, I didn't expect we'd reach it so soon.”
They had touched the laws set by the gods, reaching the limit of procreation for the Extraordinary in the Claud World, and from then on, they could no longer bear more children.
She actually felt relieved.
If she knew that she was going to give birth to disabled children and still had to keep having them for the family's sake, it would undoubtedly be filled with sin!
Vanessa would never be able to do such a thing!
Darren and Lilian entered the room, both extremely curious about the two newborns.
“They're my brother and sister too, right? I will definitely protect them.”
After Darren clenched his fist and finished speaking, Lilian nodded along.
She thought the two children were really cute, just like little helpless animals, nothing like her silly older brother.
Three months later, Archibald finally digested the “Gale Protector” Magic Potion of the 1st Rank, successfully stepping onto a new level of the Path of Calamity.
He had acquired the new Power of Consecution, “Thunder Attendant”!
In the Spirit Realm “constellation,” an angry blue figure roared, hurling white lightning!
Archibald was thrilled to discover that he had gained two new Extraordinary traits, “Lightning Empowerment” and “Electric Power Accumulation”!
In addition, the intensity of the Gale Protector's “Storm Armor” had also greatly increased, and he was now not only able to leap great distances but could also fly for a few seconds at a time.
“Lightning Empowerment” allowed for attaching the power of thunderous lightning to objects, which could be used as melee weapons or thrown as consumable weapons!
“Electric Power Accumulation” allowed him to continuously consume Spiritual Power and physical strength, storing the lightning power in his body, and then release it all at once when close to the limit.
The released accumulated lightning would consume a vast amount of Spiritual Power and physical strength, but the destructive power was enormous, even posing a death threat to Bloodline Knights at the Transmutation Level.
He took a deep breath, and electric light flickered between his fingertips.
The comprehensive improvement brought by the 2nd Rank was still 25, and the “Thunder Attendant” provided a 15-point increase in physical prowess and a 10-point increase in Spiritual Power.
After recording, Byrne could hazard a guess in his heart.
“If we look at the sheer burst power alone, the Path of Calamity might be the strongest among all the ranks of the God Pantheon stairway. I hope Archibald can go even further.”
