Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1564 - 88: Fate Returned (Part 2)

Until one day, she saw an existence more precious than this world being sent back from the future in the cage of the Holy Land. From that day on, her calm fate began to branch out like trees, filling up with countless choices.

But perhaps for her, the most important choices were only two.

One was the day she finally pierced through the "hidden" and discovered that guy.

That ragged figure with long hair covering the face was finally exposed after her long pursuit, escaping no more from the cloak of the hidden. She seemed to have given up running, just sitting on the ground with a smile, observing the passing demi-human woman with interest.

That was a fork, one choice would move forward, the other would destroy all forks, returning everything to the original simple demise.

On that day, fate moved forward, on that day, the "escapee" was born.

The second was the death of a nun; only then did she find that treasure in destiny.

It was not long after Fisher turned eighteen, at that time, he had just lost his foster mother and established a close connection with the elder princess of the Golden Palace, tasting the young love like Adam and Eve with the forbidden fruit, establishing an inexhaustible connection and vitality with this world on the brink of apocalypse.

That was also a fork, leading to two different destinies after the split.

One choice, Fisher did not get the relic of the escapee, and his love with Elizabeth was destroyed by the possessiveness born of meddling; he would not go to Schwali to seek the Witch, he would not go to the South Continent to seek the Dragon-man Species, he would not know that a Whale-man Species had infiltrated his school, he would not know Erwin’s plan, nor would he know what the Northern Turand Family did to find the base...

He would become the most famous professor in Saint Nali, the hottest human leader in the entire Western Continent, attracting more women, yet none would ever enter his heart.

Then, like everyone else, he would greet the coming apocalypse in ignorance.

Of course, he would not return to the past to bring fate back to that calm line.

Everything would be overturned, Helair would naturally be unaffected, but everything else within the world would return to the origin, back to the point he would not be born.

Because he returned to the past, only then would the escapee create him.

And once he returned to the past, the damn escapee’s purpose would be achieved, step by step leading to today.

All the world-ending knots were tied to him by the escapee, and once the fate of destruction pushed forward, the pain that fell upon the world, all those costs would fall on him...

"Paimon! Is it you?! Do you intend to fulfill your promise or not?!"

At this moment, far away, looking at everything in the misty black sludge, Agares couldn’t help but confirm, because Rafael had entered at this moment, and she saw Paimon’s iconic dawn in the mist, immediately shouting out loud.

And Rafael snapped back, looking at the smiling woman in front of her, growled,

"Paimon...it’s you! You orchestrated all this, forcing Fisher to use this kind of power, you..."

"Yes, everything here is because of me, but have you thought about it, soon it won’t just be here, but the entire world..."

Helair’s smile slowly faded, countless shadows fell upon her expression; that extreme terrifying feeling far surpassed any living creature, making Rafael quickly realize that the existence in front of her might be far more than just a demon.

Taking advantage of Rafael’s pause, Helair pointed at the ever-burning flames on her body, and softly said,

"Although you may not even realize it, since you escaped Philone City, the contaminated Blessing within you has been a ticking time bomb. Whether or not I sent Barbatos and Agares, it would still eventually erupt within you... Back then Barbatos severely injured you and you were fine, but two and a half years later, when you saw Moli rush into his arms, didn’t you dream of it growing increasingly restive?"

Rafael, breathing heavily, and at this moment, those stolen dream scenes were finally revealed one by one.

She recalled the battles against the sky-high black sludge, she recalled that raging burning anger and fear; none of those were caused by others but were fluctuations generated from within herself...

"Boom!"

"I..."

Thinking of this, the flames burning within Rafael grew even more vigorous, as if to verify everything this woman said.

"Even without me, the Blessing within you will inevitably explode, becoming the Gospel that opens annihilation, and by then, he will regret losing you greatly. And the remaining five who covet this world won’t pass up the opportunity, he will grow firmer in fighting those Chaos under the escapee’s guidance...How selfish, Rafael. How much more of this pain do you want him to endure?"

Rafael never thought that what caused Fisher to suffer such agony today would be herself who survived Philone City more than five years ago.

She did so much just to stand equally by his side, wanted to help him, yet unexpectedly, the price for her survival is now all borne by Fisher.

She looked at Fisher below, who had fallen into such a state, her heart filled with immense regret. The Blessing of Fermat Baha tied to her also became increasingly scorching due to her wavering emotions,

At that time, would it have been better if she had died in Philone City?

"And I have only fueled the flames, merely to create an opportunity. Now, the Chaos within him has grown fully, utterly indistinguishable from the Chaos that contaminated Fermat Baha back then; it can completely swallow your imminent explosive Blessing, no longer letting it burn the Gap, delaying the coming annihilation..."

Rafael, enveloped by dawn, no longer resisted; she just stared blankly at the gradually expressionless Helair before her, softly asked,

"Then...the cost?"

Helair smiled gently, looked at the Dragon-man ahead, and said,

"Fermat Baha’s Blessing is bound with your soul, once it erupts it will vanish completely, leaving gaps in your soul. If ’I’ handle it well, you will survive, but by then, annihilation will arrive, and Fisher will face unfathomable trials and torment in the future...

"Conversely, if I let the Chaos completely engulf it, your soul will disappear entirely with it and perish, but the demons will return to the Dynasty, and annihilation will be delayed. But Fisher, unable to accept your death, might retreat within his consciousness, and this is also the best time for me to take him away..."

"You...where will you take him?"

"A place beyond your imagination, far away from everything here, where he’ll be completely safe with me forever."

"..."

Rafael, silent for a moment, lowered her head, letting scorching tears fall down her cheeks, dripping into the endless black sludge below, seemingly touching Fisher’s body, transmitting her emotions to him.

But then, what replied to Helair was simply,

"Then... please take him away, give back the fate I should bear to my beloved."

"Alright."

Helair, smiling gently, nodded. Then, behind her, a deep opening as if leading to endless darkness appeared like a black hole.

From within, untameable Void song, beyond the Boundary, Ultimates echoed in the depths of all souls; she then released her hand, casting the Rafael wrapped in dawn into the black sludge.

Rafael closed her eyes, quietly enveloped by Fermat Baha’s flames as she was thrown into the black sludge.

"Pssh!"

The moment she touched the black sludge, the flames on her body blazed with intensity, soon to become a towering pillar of light. But Helair only smiled slightly, allowing the endless black sludge to wrap it tightly, covering even the flames contained within.

Far away, Agares seemed to sense the thing born within the thick fog of black sludge that rivaled the True God in level burst forth, her expression momentarily delighted yet quickly knowing it was being devoured, corroded.

She paused slightly, looking at the flames continually dissipating in the black sludge, and growled at the black mist with unwillingness,

"Paimon!!! You bastard!!"
