Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2204 2204: Sign of divinity
Previously on Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure...
"So the protective measures they possess are..."
Although my sentence remained unfinished, the implication behind my words was quite evident.
"Precisely, they are imbued with divine energy. This is the key indicator of a high elf's bloodline purity."
It felt peculiar to be receiving this information, as I had never detected such a thing before. However, if Vivrum was the one stating it, it couldn't possibly be false.
"How could I have never sensed it until now?"
"It's not something that can be readily sensed, as it's far more complex than a mere infusion of divine energy within them. This divine energy is intrinsically integrated into their very essence, which is why it leaves absolutely no discernible traces."
Vivrum uttered these words as if she possessed the ability to read my thoughts, yet it wasn't particularly challenging to decipher my internal musings.
Judging by the expression on my face, anyone would have been able to grasp my confusion.
"But that still doesn't account for what happened to my children," I interjected, choosing to disregard her explanation for the moment.
"Actually, it does," Vivrum replied, stating it as if it were an indisputable fact. This caused me to narrow my eyes as I scrutinized her. Nevertheless, I could perceive an unwavering confidence in her demeanor.
This confidence suggested that she possessed genuine knowledge on the subject.
"It's a consequence of you possessing an excessive amount of divine energy."
Upon hearing this, I found myself utterly bewildered once more.
After all, her statement offered no clarity and left me completely unable to comprehend her meaning.
It truly felt as though a crucial piece of information was missing.
Eventually, Vivrum elaborated on her earlier statement. As she did, her expression underwent a noticeable transformation.
She behaved in a manner entirely distinct from the Vivrum I was accustomed to.
It appeared that once she delved into a subject that held her deep interest, she lost a measure of self-control. Given her status as the Goddess of Life, it seemed she possessed considerable expertise in the genesis and explanation of life.
She almost resembled a passionate, albeit eccentric, scientist.
The core of her explanation was that my divine energy had exerted an influence on the children who were born. However, the specific effects varied due to the differing levels of divine energy present in their mothers.
In Moon's situation, her bloodline purity was not as absolute as Aisha's.
According to Vivrum's assessment, this dilution stemmed from her father. It appeared that despite being a high elf himself, he was fated to possess a lineage that would eventually diminish.
The divine energy that Vivrum bestowed upon the elves also served an additional purpose: to ascertain whether the high elves were worthy of wielding such potent divine energy. Vivrum would not permit them to retain this energy if she deemed them unworthy.
Consequently, this meant that Moon's father was destined to father children who were merely ordinary elves.
Yet, due to Aisha's return to her origins and her inheritance of divine power that surpassed the norm, this power was passed down, even though her father was supposed to contribute nothing significant.
This, in turn, explained why Moon was born in the condition she was in.
As for Aisha, there was an explanation for her peculiar transformation as well.
"The divine energy that is relinquished does not vanish. It eventually reintegrates into the elven cycle, manifesting as a mutation."
Aisha's journey of returning to her origins... was it the divine energy, having been released, returning to the elves...?
But returning to Moon's child, they had received a substantial quantity of divine energy from me.
As a result, they achieved a state of being a high elf with purity exceeding even that of Aisha.
However, a question lingered in my mind...
"Why would my divine energy cause such a phenomenon?"
"It is pure divine energy originating from the mortal realm; it is inherently more potent than my own divine energy. At least, that holds true within the mortal realm," Vivrum elucidated without any reservation.
I remained somewhat perplexed by her explanation, yet a part of me found it plausible. Even as another part suspected she might be fabricating her response...
Setting that aside, my curiosity was piqued by Aisha's child.
"It's an overwhelming amount of divine energy. Simply put, the child could not accommodate the divine energy from both sources, so it gravitated towards the more potent source, which was your divine energy."
I regarded Vivrum with yet another perplexed expression upon hearing this.
She had just offered an explanation similar to how my divine energy originated from the mortal realm, but it genuinely felt as though something was amiss with her statement. At this juncture, it felt precisely like she was fabricating an excuse...
Nevertheless, having concluded her explanation, Vivrum stated, "That is why your children manifested in such a manner."
"Then the younger one... will anything adverse happen to them?"
My inquiry naturally pertained to Aisha's child, who had seemingly been born as a human.
"How could anything detrimental befall them? On the contrary, they are fortunate to have inherited this power," Vivrum responded in an almost enigmatic tone, which only fueled my skepticism further.
Her assured tone offered a sliver of comfort, lessening some of my apprehension. "What sort of abilities do they possess?" "That is something for you to discover and guide them in mastering." A grimace touched my lips upon hearing her response, yet it appeared neither of them intended to elaborate. The sole remaining question on my mind was, "Are they still considered elves?" "Naturally. Given that they were born from elven mothers, how else could they be regarded but as half-elves?" Vivrum declared this with a tone of evident pride, as though the elves were her progeny. Upon reflection, that wasn't entirely inaccurate. Technically speaking, one could indeed consider the elves her offspring, as she was, in fact, their originator.
