Chapter 765 Heart and Flesh
Chapter 765 Heart and Flesh
"Feel sorry."
After the other two Earthborn leaders, along with all the Earthborn that were forcibly captured by the Mirror Crown, broke free from the nightmare created by Leon, the tall and thin old man spoke with a hint of apology:
"They just ran away. I didn't keep them."
"It's ok."
After listening to the tall and thin old man's story, the black-haired woman who looked exactly like Sif smiled and then said in a gentle voice:
“After all, he is a clay sculptor from the Aquarius Branch. Cleaners at Director Huang Dao’s level basically have more than one anomaly that can save their lives. They are not that easy to kill.
As for the other one who doesn't look like a human, although I haven't seen him before, he is obviously a strong man at the level of Director Huang Dao. When they are trying to escape, it is normal that you can't keep anyone with you outnumbering two."
After comforting the tall and thin old man named "Bone", the black-haired woman took the initiative to walk towards Sif, who was sitting on the ground with a dazed look on her face. She stretched out her hand to pull her up from the ground, then gently stroked her forehead, calling out with eyes full of love:
"Sif, my daughter, it's time for you to go home."
Following the black-haired woman's maternal call and her touch, which was as gentle as the breeze blowing across the lake, Sif's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then a touch of clarity broke through the confusion and panic, and quickly reoccupied her pupils.
"Meat... No, Mother... Mother! I'm back!"
"Ok!"
The warm and soft palm moved down slightly, and after caressing Sif's face that was exactly the same as hers, the black-haired woman smiled lovingly and said:
"Thank you for your hard work these years."
"It's not hard work!"
After shaking her head slightly, Sif raised her head slightly, staring at the black-haired woman who was much taller than herself, and said with admiration:
"I am your child and a part of you. I should do these things for you... Huh?"
When she said this, Sif seemed to realize something was wrong, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and touch her cheek.
When my mother touched me just now, she had already returned the gift of the earth that had been taken away from me before, so the scales of grace should have reappeared on my face and palms, but now it felt soft as before, not only did the scales of grace not appear, but it also seemed...
A little damp?
After discovering that the world in front of her eyes was inexplicably blurry, Sif couldn't help but blink subconsciously, hoping to use the double eyelids that the descendants of the earth should have to squeeze out the foreign objects in her eyes and regain a clear vision.
But the tough nictitating membrane that should have belonged to the descendants of the earth did not appear in her eyes. Instead, there was a large amount of warm and slightly salty strange liquid.
The warm water with a strange taste was flowing down along the extremely fragile corners of human eyes, which could not even be blocked by the slippery sand and gravel, and wet their cheeks without scales.
"Sif, thank you for your hard work..."
Looking at her daughter who was standing there in a daze, wiping her eyes but she was shedding more and more tears, the black-haired woman repeated her previous words again, then took her, who was somewhat at a loss, in her arms, and said with great distress:
"I don't know what your other life was like, but it seems like they treated you well... Sif, I suddenly made you regain your original memories and completely betrayed everything in your past. I'm sure this must be very uncomfortable, right?"
"No...it's not uncomfortable."
Sif raised her face, which was almost identical to the black-haired woman's. She stretched the muscles on her face as hard as she could and forced a smile at her:
"I am your daughter, bred by you with your flesh and heart, and I live for all the descendants of the earth..."
"Don't say that again." The black-haired woman patted Sif's trembling back and said with guilt in her eyes:
"You are my daughter first, and then others... Sif, your mother can feel the pain in your heart. You can cry if you want. This is not a mistake. We all owe you."
“I…I…wu…”
After hearing the gentle consolation from the black-haired woman, Sif's lips couldn't help but tremble slightly twice. Then she laid on the black-haired woman's chest and cried loudly and heart-wrenchingly. Her shoulders kept twitching. It was obvious that she was extremely sad.
However, apart from the black-haired woman who showed some distress and gently patted her on the back, the expressions of the other descendants of the earth seemed quite indifferent, even slightly distant.
The tall and thin old man named Bone said a few words of comfort, but there was no sense of closeness in his old eyes. The other short and strong male leader of the Earth Descendants did not say a word, and there was even a hint of disgust in his eyes.
This creature, bred with [heart] and [flesh], is clearly the blood of the descendants of the earth, but its entire body is full of "human smell", which smells extremely disgusting.
In addition, even though she was re-endowed with the gift of the earth by [Flesh], the scales of grace still did not grow on her face, and the rest of her physical features were still the same as those of the earth's parasites, and she did not have the body shape that a descendant of the earth should have.
Therefore, during the years when she was separated from the [flesh], she might have completely identified with the identity of a human being, even to the extent that it surpassed her identification with her own bloodline, and she developed an unconscious resistance to the gifts of the earth.
The reason why she can still stand on the side of the earth now is probably just because her past memories prevail. After she recovers from the impact of the memory explosion, it is hard to say whether she is still a member of her own tribe.
……
“Is that about right?”
After patiently waiting for a while, seeing that Sif was still crying, the short and strong man couldn't help but urge her:
"Meat! Don't let her cry yet, hurry up and see what happens next! The support from the Cleanup Bureau may arrive at any time, and we don't have much time!"
"Um……"
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with the short and sturdy man's attitude, considering that his words did make sense, the black-haired woman nodded slightly, then stroked the trembling back in her arms and said softly:
"Sif, the first prophecy you made when you were born was for us to seal your memory and put you in the snowy mountains during the chaos. And you will lead us out of the cage again after we lose the war with the Cleanup Bureau.
With your dedication, we have seized this opportunity. Now it is time for you to make the second prophecy... Sif, my daughter, I need you to use your heart to explore the pulse of this world and then show us the way forward for the earth!"
"Okay mother."
Without noticing the indifferent looks of her tribesmen, after listening to the black-haired woman's request, Sif nodded slightly, then raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, folded her palms up and down, and pressed hard on her heart.
thump.
dong dong!
Dong dong dong dong dong…
A heartbeat as dense as drumbeats suddenly sounded, led by Sif's own heartbeat. The heartbeats of all the descendants of the earth present slowly synchronized and gradually converged into one. Finally, even the heartbeats of the three leaders of the earth joined in.
And amidst the painful expressions of everyone, the originally silent earth actually began to "beat" along with the sound.
The rock layers were its bones, the soil its flesh, the mineral veins its blood… With the support of three Zodiac Director-level warriors, the being called the Earth successfully acquired a body and a heartbeat. It managed to raise its head, opened its empty, dark eye sockets, and took a quick glance in the direction of the future.
And in this empty and deep strange gaze, a young man with black hair and black eyes was hugging a petite blue-haired girl from behind, mumbling in a shameful voice:
"Good sister, I don't want to try anymore."
