Chapter 853 A BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE (4)
[GET RID of my baby?]
Neoma thought she could respect Lord Levi as her father-in-law.
However, after hearing those cruel words from the god, she realized that not even her love for Commander Yoan could make her forgive Lord Levi.
[Let’s kill him.]
As soon as that thought crossed Neoma’s mind, her body moved on its own.
She had mastered the art of fighting without moving her body. But not this time. She wanted to destroy Lord Levi with her own hands.
CRACK.
That was the sound of Neoma’s fingers breaking as she punched the barrier around Lord Levi.
She didn’t care, though.
Despite the pain, she pushed through until the barrier was completely destroyed and she almost hit Lord Levin in the face.
Almost.
“Calm down, Neoma de Moonasterio,” Lord Levi said sternly. “I’m not yet done talking.”
“I have no intention of listening to your nonsense, my lord,” Neoma said, gathering all the Mana and the divine power in her body and then concentrating them in her fist. Her desire to punch Lord Levi in the face hadn’t died yet. “You already lost the right to speak to me the moment you asked me to get rid of my baby.”
The God Among God had the audacity to sigh as if he was tired of talking to her already when it was supposed to be the other way around.
“Lord Levi, you should have worded it properly.”
Hmm?
Another god broke through her barrier.
Black curly hair, the famous beauty mark on her chin– the goddess who appeared behind Lord Levi was Larissa.
[The Goddess of Fertility.]
“Please calm down, Neoma de Moonasterio,” Larissa said in a gentle voice. “We’re here to help you with your pregnancy.”
What?
Neoma put her hand down. “Explain.”
***
NEOMA didn’t want to, but she had no choice but to serve tea to Lord Levi and the goddess Larissa.
Because what they said caught her attention, she decided to treat them as her guests.
“Now that I’ve done my part as a host, I’d like it if you go straight to the point,” Neoma said firmly. “Lord Levi, you suddenly asked me to get rid of my child. But Lady Larissa suddenly arrived and said you were going to help me with my pregnancy. Why are you being so inconsistent?”
“What part of what I said was confusing?” Lord Levi asked, and he sounded really confused. “I want you to get rid of the child in your womb at the moment, but don’t worry because we’ll help you with your pregnancy.”
Neoma didn’t say anything, but she was pretty sure she had a very disrespectful gaze while glaring at Lord Levi.
[Yoan is such a good speaker, so why is Lord Levi like this?]
“Allow me to explain on Lord Levi’s behalf,” Larissa said, smiling apologetically at Neoma. “Young princess, do you know who I am?”
“You’re the Goddess of Fertility.”
“And what else?”
“Yoan told me that you were also the one who helped the Moon God and the Light Goddess conceive a child,” Neoma said hesitantly. “According to him, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the de Moonasterios wouldn’t be born in the world without your help.”
It wasn’t written in the history books.
But Neoma, while she was living as a Quinzel in the human world, had always wondered why the empress’ palace was called ‘Larissa Palace’ and was not named after the Light Goddess.
After all, the emperor’s palace was named after the Moon God.
[And that was when Yoan told me about Larissa, the Goddess of Fertility.]
“It was almost impossible for two major gods to conceive a child naturally,” Larissa said. “But Lady Roxana has given up her immortal body for the chance to have a child. Lord Yule did the same, but unlike the Light Goddess, the Moon God had a time limit. He could only use his temporary human body for a certain period of time. In short, Lord Levi gave the Moon God an ultimatum.”
“Roxana had already lost her divinity during that time after she got rid of the Absolute Darkness, so I had no choice but to allow her to live as a human,” Lord Levi said defensively. “But I can’t give up on Yule. He’s the Moon God, after all. I can’t lose both the Light Goddess and the Mon God at the same time.”
Haaah.
It took Neoma all she got to stop herself from rolling her eyes at Lord Levi’s pathetic excuse.
[Why can’t he just admit that he was just being selfish?]
“While Lady Roxana and Lord Yule were in the human world with their human bodies, I lent them my power so that they could conceive a child successfully,” Larissa said, then she smiled shyly. “I don’t want to sound arrogant, but if it wasn’t for my blessing and guidance, Lady Roxana wouldn’t get pregnant. After all, the body that Lord Yule used at the time was nothing but a fake vessel. Moreover, his soul was still the soul of a powerful god…”
The Goddess of Fertility trailed off, then she laughed softly.
“Young princess, you’re not listening, are you?”
“I’m really not interested in my ancestors’ history,” Neoma said lazily. “I’m sorry, but please get to the point now. I already get what you mean anyway– that you can help anyone get pregnant. I’m convinced, so stop beating around the bush.”
Larissa looked surprised at first, then she smiled while shaking her head.
Lord Levi sighed while shaking his head. “You’re as arrogant as your ancestors, Neoma de Moonasterio.”
Neoma just sipped her tea.
“Young princess, when Lord Levi said that he wanted you to “get rid” of your child, he didn’t mean for you to abort it,” Larissa said carefully. “We just need you to remove the Sapling that you planted in your womb.”
The children that gods procreate on their own were called ‘Saplings.’
After all, children ‘created’ by gods wouldn’t be born the normal way.
“Since you asked me to remove the baby in my womb, then I’m assuming there’s a way to keep my baby alive after leaving my body,” Neoma said carefully, touching her belly. “Am I right?”
Larissa nodded, smiling kindly at her. “I’m the Goddess of Fertility. I can take care of the Saplings and keep them alive even after they were extracted from their mother’s belly.”
Neoma was still skeptical. “You’re doing this because you want me to get rid of the Darkness in the Upper World, don’t you?”
“I’d lie if I said it wasn’t a part of the reason why we came up with this plan,” Lord Levi said. “But you have to admit that you can’t hide in your estate forever, Neoma de Moonasterio. Once the gods decided to attack you all at the same time, it would be difficult for you to protect yourself and the baby in your womb. No matter how strong you are, you can’t still win if the major gods in the Upper World ganged up on you. Especially not when Yoan isn’t here.”
Neoma didn’t want to admit this, but Lord Levi was correct.
She couldn’t hide in her estate forever, and she wouldn’t last long fighting every god picking up a fight with her.
That was why she wanted to run away with Yoan.
[The problem is I don’t know when exactly Yoan will return. He has stopped responding to my messages for a few weeks now.]
“Aside from what Lord Levi has said, there’s another reason why I want to help you personally, Neoma de Moonasterio.”
“Then what’s your reason for helping me, Lady Larissa?”
“As the Goddess of Fertility, I couldn’t stand watching a Sapling slowly die inside their mother’s womb.”
Neoma’s eyes widened in shock, then she hugged her belly unconsciously. “My baby is dying? But why? I’m protecting it well with my Mana and divine power.”
“Young princess, you ate a lot of Darkness when you cleaned up your residence, didn’t you?”
Ah.
Neoma suddenly felt a chill all over her body.
To say that she was scared would be an understatement.
[I knew it. After I ate too much Darkness that day, my body has never been in its best condition. No matter how many potions I drank, nothing has changed.]
It wouldn’t be a problem if it was only her health that was affected negatively.
“Am I killing my baby because of the Darkness that I absorbed in my body?” Neoma asked nervously. “Is that it?”
Larissa smiled sadly and nodded her head. “The Darkness in your body is poisoning your Sapling, young princess.”
“I don’t know about the Sapling’s condition, but I can see that the Darkness inside your body is eating at your divine power, Neoma de Moonasterio,” Lord Levi said, his red eyes glowing while inspecting Neoma from head to toe. “Child, your body is unstable. You should have seized the throne before you ascended. If you did that, then your Moonglow would have stabilized.”
“Lord Levi, I don’t need to be more powerful than I already am,” Neoma said, ignoring the god’s nagging. Then she turned to Larissa. “What will happen after I removed my baby from my womb, Lady Larissa?”
“I will care for the Sapling while you recover, young princess,” Larissa said, then she turned to Lord Levi. “And after that…”
Lord Levi sighed. “Neoma de Moonasterio, if you agree to get rid of the air pollution in the Upper World, I will give you permission to marry Yoan. And then I will allow you to conceive a child naturally.”
“With my help, I will make sure that the Sapling you created will be absorbed by the child that you’d conceive with Yoan,” Larissa added with a smile on her face. “We will help you with your pregnancy, Neoma de Moonasterio.”
Haaah. 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
It seemed like Neoma couldn’t avoid using her powers for the Upper World.
[But the reward is too tempting.]
“I’ll add one more condition,” Neoma said, sighing. “Help me detoxify the Darkness in my body first, Lord Levi.”
Lord Levi nodded as if he already knew she’d say that. “Consider it done, Neoma de Moonasterio.”
And then they finally made a deal.
But Neoma should have known that those damned gods couldn’t be trusted.
