A few minutes ago.
In a secluded pristine forest somewhere in the Genesis Empire.
The life samples of millions of races were being stored and secured into an ancient tree when an intruder broke in.
"You…" Asherah looked at the radiant Aurora with a complicated gaze.
"Hello, Asherah." Aurora smiled, suppressing the resentment that was about to boil over.
"How did you find me…oh, never mind." Asherah shook her head and bit her lip. "So, he really healed you, huh. That's why he seemed so weak that even I could defeat him."
" Then why didn't you?" Aurora asked, eyes narrowing.
"…If he dies, then it's either Hades or Ophion. All living beings will face hell." Asherah answered without even thinking.
Aurora clenched her fist, fingers digging into the flesh and dripping blood.
Her 'mother' cared about all living beings, so much so that she'd kill trillions to save them. So much so that she'd help someone who beat her up not long ago.
Such a selfless woman.
A terrible mother.
