Chapter 458 - Path Of A True God Part 3
"Special?" Aruya only knew that Kana seemed genuine in her actions, unlike that other woman who seemed fake.
"She is the original. I have been watching her since her first reincarnation. Sadly what drives her is vengeance, but when I saw what those people did to her, I couldn't help but sympathize with her. So at that time, I instilled within her the ability to bring death to all those around her while at the same time bringing life to those she wished to save. She is the first of the Nephilim. When she first became a Nephilim, she was pregnant with twins. The bloodline within them was very pure, and because of how strong the Nephilim bloodline was when they had children, they also continued to carry the bloodline. But the Nephilim were looked down upon due to their appearance and fear due to their strength. In the end, the Nephilim gathered together to form their own clans and intermarried within the clans. This allowed the bloodline to stay pure for millions of years.
"As you know, with the limited information I gave you, the Nephilim are the only ones who can produce a god or goddess of death and a goddess or goddess of life. But in order to become the goddess or god of death is much harder, and only special conditions can bring about the creation of a goddess or god of death. Out of all the ones created so far, there has only been one that was not her. And that was her direct descendant. A son she was never ever able to care for due to circumstances.
"She has lived all her reincarnations to seek revenge. But this time, she seemed to go a different route. Maybe she was hoping for a better outcome after experiencing so many hardships. Whatever the reason is, her experiences can be said to be a samsara with all the same results. Love and betrayal. She has had it happen so many times that her heart was broken. That was until her last life when she met the man she is with today. I think this is the reason for her sudden change in this lifetime.
"Haha, look at me rambling. I should do what I came to do. She was lucky this time around because she also gained the blood of the dragonic clan. The clan that is the third strongest in all of Aurora. They are one step away from reaching Eden. But I do not allow entrance to Eden so easily." The old man explained.
"I see. So when she reaches Aurora, she would have both the Nephilim and the Dragonic clan as backing?" Aruya asked.
"I wish I could say yes. That woman from before has the whole clan under her finger. She is filled with greed ever since she gained the power of the goddess of life. She goes from world to acting out miracles as some messiah. When she touched the box, I could hear all her inner thoughts. And to be honest, they were disgusting to the point I almost puked up my pudding, which is why I sent her to some uninhabited planet with a strong restriction on it. It has nothing but a few animals for her to hunt. I hope this will calm her greed down a bit. If not, then… I will let this girl here deal with her.
"But it will be a long time until that girl figures out how to break the restrictions. Maybe within that time, this one will be able to reach Aurora and show those of the Nephilim what a pure soul truly is. This girl… Her only thoughts are about her family's safety and growing stronger. She cares not for worldly things besides meat. Actually, her love for meat is a bit worrisome… Anyway, it is something she will grow out of eventually…. Maybe…. Possibly…." The old man stroked his beard as he said this.
"Old man, you do not seem so sure about the whole meat thing." Aruya chuckled as she looked at the old man.
"Haha, well, she is a strange one. I will just need to be sure to never steal her meat." The old man let out a jolly laugh before walking over to the golden egg. "Now then to do what I came here to do. I will now instill her with the power of a…. Oh? Now, this is strange."
"What's wrong?" Aruya looked at the old man, who seemed confused.
"Her system is changing, but her overall strength is not going up. On top of that, she has formed a new kind of dragon bloodline that is much stronger than that of the Dragonic clan. Her Nephilim blood had already merged somewhat with her dragon bloodline. The final merger is now taking place, completely changing her race as the merger between the two completes. It is a perfect meld of the two types of bloodlines. She is basically an Aeterna Aetherian Dragon now. Nephilim and a Dragonic mixed with holy power. I think the holy element I made was the one thing she needed to complete the process." The old man was quite surprised. "Since her strength might skyrocket after she finished her evolution path change, I will hold off on giving her a boost. She still needs to grow naturally after all."
"She still has a long way to go. Before she can reach Aurora." Aruya said as she flew over and sat next to the golden egg.
"Just keep a good eye on her. It will be a few years before this fully completes. I will be heading back. As she grows stronger, gradually give her more power. Sadly when she goes to enter the Aurora, you will..." The old man shook his head. He did not plan things well enough.
"It's fine. I will always be a part of her, so I will always live on. I am, after all nothing more than your power in a sentient form. I have already prepared myself to merge with Kana when the time comes."
