Heavenly Dao Child 145 Waking up from nightmare

"So whom amongst thou all made this delicacies", she inquired of the people present as if she asking someone about the weather while she cast a glance at them everyone felt as if she did not just glanced at them but their soul itself.

She raised her one of her delicate as she spoke again, "Well do not thou wot that it is rude to keep a lady waiting for answer."

Suddenly Nitek spoke up, "I made them I hope you enjoyed them your Majesty.", his voice filled with sarcasm.

"Oh mine! what a sharp tongue thou hast, speaking like that it seems some one do forget to school thou manners", she chastise Netik.

Suddenly a jovial voice came to everyone's ears, "Welcome aboard the 'Flying Fortress', Empress Ochilysse I hope your stay here has been pleasant.", everyone looked to see a smiling Pangu dressed in a battle armor.

Ochilysse gave a slight smile at Pangu causing everyone who saw her smile felt their heart flutter, "Mine what a nice gentleman, and well to answer thy query our keep hither hath been well child, yet if thou would not mind then please share thy name with us as thou seem to mine yet i am 'i the dark about yours."

Pangu gave an apologetic smile as he spoke, "Ah how rude of me please pardon me your Majesty, please call me 'Pangu'."

Ochiysse hummed in thought as she tasted the name as if it rolled in her tongue trying to pronounce it before she spoke, "Ho it seems that thy parents had high regards for thou to name thou after 'Pangea'."

Pangu replied with a smile, "It is as you have perceived your majesty, although I hope you would not mind asking you, what do you want from us your majesty?"

Ochiysse placed a finger under her chin as if in deep thought, "Well we should'st fulfill the hope of a dying man so that he may die without any regrets, so we shall fulfill thy hope child. 'tis simple, we just crave to resurrect our beloved husband by sacrificing thy universe."

The cultivators were getting nervous every minute but the friendly banter between Pangu and Ochiysse seemed to calm their nerves a little bit.

Suddenly before anyone could react a Ochiysse's shadow elongated as Leo appeared behind her with daggers in his hands as he tried to stab her from behind only for her to turn intangible letting Leo to pass through her as she caught Leo by his outstretched hand before tugging it changing his direction as she reared her right hand back which was now covered in black smoke as she send a slap towards him only for her hand to be stopped by sudden appearance of a chain which was held by Saidhal, then all of a sudden Neacht appeared in front of her and with a shout of 'Fire Lightning Tribulation Punch', a punch strong enough to destroy a few planets in a single hit.

Flying Fortress could normally take on a couple of such an attacks and would have not have scratched by it but unfortunately for it the attack was done from the inside as such with a loud groan the vessel broke into two halves.

As the other cultivators followed their lead as they started attacking her relentlessly, after a few minutes of continuous attacks when the dust settled they were dumbstruck by the sight in front of them, Ochiysse sat on a chair look as regal as before sipping on some tea as she spoke, "hmmm, this beverage tastes wonderful, oh are thou done then allow us to retort."

The cultivators looked at her with dumbfounded expression each of them having enough power to destroy galaxies yet their combined effort was not even able to put a single scratch on this woman.

Suddenly a couple of attacks came from the fleet escorting the 'Flying Fortress', as a large number of cultivators poured out of it in order to support the assault.

Pangu: "By me some minutes."

He shouted out as Apolonia made her way to him, she felt her husband but unlike normal times even though she could feel behind the calm and collected façade was a feeling of despair.

Apolonia spoke with him through telepathy, "Love what happened why are you feeling such despair, you have learned the technique by now right and you have a plan."

Pangu looked at her beloved wife with wide eyes before he gave a wary smile as he spoke, "Indeed I have a way the first is to let her absorb the last piece and allow her to rampage if I am not wrong after at least 98% destruction of the universe she will be open to attack we will be able to attack her, second is after the immediate absorption of the last part she will be vulnerable to my technique for a brief period of time but...."

Apolonia finished the sentence for her husband in a somber tone, "It will cost you your life."

Pangu spoke hesitatingly, "Love I cannot, I cannot sacrifice innocents in order to survive I…."

Apolonia gave him a bright smile as she put a finger on his lips stopping him from speaking, "hush My love I understand then follow your heart's desire, I have no problem with that."

Pangu looked at her wide eyed before he spoke, "But you are my Dao companion if I throw my life you ...…."

Apolonia gave a small peck on his lips causing him to stop speaking as he spoke, "Do you know why I fell for you it is because of your habit of helping others in need no matter if they are mortals or cultivators you always help them even if it meant endangering yourself you are kind, you are helpful, as such I fell for you."

Pangu looked at his wife with his eyes opened with awe, 'I truly do not deserve someone as beautiful as her, I have never given anything even after we were married I did nothing to bring her happiness yet she is …, ah I have no words to describe her.'

Pangu smiled at her before he spoke, "Love I know it is selfish of me please forgive me for not being the husband good enough for you."

Apolonia opened her mouth to protest only to be stopped by Pangu this time as he put his finger on her soft lips, "sush do not fight it, it is least I could do for you."

With that Apolonia's vision distorted as she felt Pangu's Ki enter her being, she found her sitting on a bed feeling tired but in front of her stood Pangu he had two small bundles he held them as if it was the most precious thing in the entire creation with so much care that if a little bit more pressure is given it would break, she glanced to see Pangu's eyes full of love and happiness as tears of joy glistened in them, causing her to look confused as he spoke, "Thank you love thank you very much would you like to hold them."

Apolonia nodded dumbly as Pangu handed her the twin bundles as she looked at them her breath hitched in her hands led two small babies they were so cute yet so fragile but at the same time the perfect mixture of both of them the children opened their eyes as they seemed to smile at her she filled fulfilled as if she had just received the greatest treasure of her life.

Years passed as she and her husband raised them, teaching them to crawl to walk and her heart leped with joy as they spoke the very first word 'Mama', she was so happy, her beautiful babies the twins Leigh and Eli, the greatest achievements of their life was currently playing with their father who was acting as a horse while they rode on his back as the laughed in happiness.

They taught them cultivation, helping them rectifying their mistakes and as time passed on they watched as they grew to famous cultivator until one day Eli brought home another boy in order to introduce him to them.

Apolonia was greeted with a very familiar scene one she had heard from her mother, Pangu sat on a couch sharpening a huge war axe while her daughter's boyfriend sweated in front of him, she laughed as she rescued her future son-in-law. Similarly one day her son Leigh brought a girl with him but unfortunately she was not lucky as Pangu did not dare to rescue her, well after all she had him whipped.

Years pass on as their grandchildren were born she was so happy there was nothing more she wanted from her life anymore all her wishes had been fulfilled there was nothing she wanted more from her life, as she laid happily in her husband's arms, under the same tree where they confessed to each other's feelings all those years ago.

Apolonia's vision distorted as she was brought back to reality tears of pure joy appeared on her eyes as she spoke, "Thank you for giving me Leigh and Eli thank you so much.", as she shared on last passionate kiss with her husband.

Meanwhile with others a quarter of the forces were already dead as the battle without much success many were injured, Maheswara who was nearby to Pangu and Apolonia had heard what they were speaking but it was faintly, "First….98% of Universe....sacrifice.", as such he was unable to draw any conclusion.

Suddenly Ochilysse shouted out, "Enough we tire of thy unprevailing resistances.", as she suddenly increasing her aura deciding to wipe out the entire resistance in single blow her attention was drawn towards Pangu who now taken out the only thing that she wanted most in the world as such she charged at him with incredible force in order to snatch it from him, Pangu was concentrating into luring her into the trap was caught off guard, Leo made his move but before he could reach someone beat him to it, it was none other than his grandfather who had been impaled by her out stretched hand halting her movements buying enough time for Pangu.

"Nirvana", he spoke silently as everyone watched in fascination as an almost ethereal looking flame consumed the cube and it was melting, the same cube which was previously impervious to all attacks was melting.

As everyone looked gob smacked at the phenomenon in front of them Ochilysse gave a piercing screamas she tore Leo's grandfather into bits, causing a grief filled sound come to everyone's ears as Leo shouted out, "GRANDPA!!!!!!!!"

Leo new every since he had went searching for Pangu all those months ago he knew his end was coming near he could feel it, he could foresee it he knew the consequences of trying to defy it and he knew today he would die trying to save a distracted Pangu and thereby saving the fate of the Universe so did his grandfather who just now traded their place thereby saving him.

Ochilysse had an expression of panic on her face, she knew that the flame Pangu used was an unique flame which could harm her greatly it might be able to kill her but to injure her definitely yes, but the cube which held a part of her right eye to be exact was separated from her as such it did not have the luxury of surviving on its own much less escape unscathed a grievously injured eye would make her plan of resurrecting her husband to have negligible amount of success and heaven's forbid if it is destroyed she can forget about resurrecting her husband after all only after she is complete could she fully utilize her full force and resurrect her husband.

Pangu threw the melting cube towards he which she quickly assimilated within her body but the sudden increase in her due to assimilation paralyzed her and that was all it took for Pangu to act.

He moved fast his left hand was holding on to Apolonia's right hand as they smiled at each other before they raised held Ochilysse in a tight embrace in between them as they spoke together, "Nirvana's eternal sleep."

Nothing happened for a few seconds but suddenly a bright light came from them blinding everyone in the immediate vicinity, Maheswara for the first time understood fully what his 'son' and 'daughter-in-law' did, they had another way to defeat her but chose a way that had the minimum collateral damage.

Pangu and Apolonia felt an intense pain course through them as they felt their skin vaporize, their blood boiling, their bones turning their dust as their soul was slowly being erased from existence, they knew it was the end of the road for them and their lives, yet they had a small smile of satisfaction on their face.

Pangu felt Ochilysse relax in their embrace confusing him as his last vision was of Apolonia's smiling face and a small smirk on Ochilysse's face confusing him before it hit him like a bolt of tribulation lightning.

Nuwa was tired she was bleeding from her forehead the murderess was a very dangerous and seemed to be an invincible opponent, feeling of despair was what she felt as she faced someone of Ochilysse's caliber until her precious baby boy entered the fight, she saw and felt for the first time hope rising after all he was their trump card them Pangu and Apolonia embraced Ochilysse and all turned white.

Maheswara's heart thumped hard in fear and anxiety as he rushed towards his son and daughter-in-law as soon as he got his vision back.

To everyone as soon as they got their vision back they were greeted with a scene of Pangu and Apolonia embracing each other as they held a blue crystal within them, the alliance cheered with joy.

"Long Live Daoist Pangu, Long live Daoist Apolonia", they all cried as their shout seem to shake the Universe.

The loudest amongst them seemed to be the trio daughters of Ayindril who were shouting out, "Hahahaha. Everyone look at our big brother and big sister they are so awesome."

Everyone cheered except Maheswara who had made his way towards his 'son' as he spoke his voice trembling with fear and uncertainty, "My son, my daughter are you alright he spoke in a shaky tone.", his fear increased as he reached out to them with shaky hands, but as soon as he touched them lightly, they turned to ash scattering into the vast expanse of space, as the cheering came to an abrupt halt as they watched the heroes of the hour turned to dust in front of them.

In a far distant future, a figure suddenly sat up on the bed on which it lay previously as it awoke from its sleep drenched in sweat as it shouted out, "NO!!!!!", a few rapid footsteps were heard as the door to the room where the figure slept was opened harshly as a couple figures entered the room.
