462: The Cycle Of Life Among Fairies

The Cycle Of Life Among Fairies

"En?" Seraphina had a blinking expression as she couldn't understand what Yannah meant.2

But then she carefully replayed what Yannah said in her mind, and based on the strange look Yannah was giving her and the slight awkwardness on Viktor's face, Seraphina was finally able to put two and two together, making her face beet red as she covered her mouth with a gasp.

"I think…she got it," Viktor said with a helpless chuckle and then looked at Yannah as he asked doubtfully, "But, seriously? Don't tell me you are not kidding."

Viktor couldn't believe that Yannah was proposing such a solution as the only way left to save the Sacred Spirit Realm. Usually, it would involve an epic solution and not something so…primitive.

It was not that he had any issue with it, but he didn't know how Seraphina felt about it, considering how she doesn't know anything about such "profound" things.

Yannah mischievously smiled as she said, "Why be so bashful about it? It's not like I haven't noticed the tension between you two. Other than that, you two have been playing husband and wife so perfectly before others. What's wrong in taking it a step further like any other couple?"

"Wait. I still don't get how this "solution" will exactly save her realm. Your solution and saving her realm seem like two different things that don't make sense to be mentioned in the same sentence," Viktor still couldn't wrap his head around it. 

Yannah scoffed with a teasing gaze as she said, "You surely underestimate the power of your own essence. I don't know how but your odic force seems pure enough to perfectly form a harmony with Sera's odic force, which should be the purest in a living being in our universe."

"And? What about it?" Viktor asked with a head shake while Seraphina felt her heartbeat increasing since she already somewhat understood what Yannah's 'solution' was.

"You have to know how fairies thrive. They don't need to really drink or eat conventional food like us, but they actually need to ingest pure odic energy to survive. The Fruit of the Blessed One is the most powerful source of pure odic energy that will be enough to not only help the fairies survive but has enough energy to sustain the realm itself. It is the very reason so many are crazy to eat it and gain unimaginable power. But once the fruit has been ingested, the Fairy Queen or our Sera here will have to keep the realm alive while using her powers to give birth to more fairies so that with their collective help, the realm would live on till the fruit is reborn, and the cycle repeats."

"But I guess Sera can't do that forever?" Viktor asked as he glanced at Sera, who still had her head lowered, unable to control the redness on her face.

"Of course not. Nobody has unlimited power. She is using her own life force to give birth to her daughters just like any other mother. And then maintaining life in her realm would only weaken her by the time the next fruit is reborn. In fact, she must be already nearing her limit by now."

"Oh…" Viktor's brows furrowed as he looked at Seraphina. In a simple sense, he understood that Seraphina was like a superpowered rechargeable battery that powers an entire realm and even has the power to create life on her own. But now, she was running out of energy which would mean she won't be able to sustain life in her realm unless she somehow recovered her energy.

He couldn't believe that Seraphina was at her weakest point now. He could only wonder how strong she would be at her peak. Would Mevron or any likes of him even pose a threat to her at that point?

Since her eyes were blindfolded, he couldn't even exactly tell what she was feeling right now.

Viktor understood the gravity of the situation as he asked in a serious tone, "So you are saying my essence will help restore her energy?"

Seraphina wanted to say something, but she didn't. But she couldn't believe that Viktor wasn't feeling any hesitation at all about something like this. Was he really okay with doing something like that with her?

She couldn't even tell herself what she was feeling. But for some reason, she wasn't strangely feeling repulsed by such a solution.

"Of course not. Don't overestimate yourself that much. You have no idea how much energy Seraphina can possess at her peak. It would be enough to give life to entire realms. So how could a single individual like you possess that much energy? But since you are an immortal who apparently can come back to life no matter how many times you die, you possess potentially unlimited energy. And that is why I think this forbidden art left behind by the Devil would suit you."

"So what kind of powers will I gain if I learn this art? Does she have to learn it as well?" Viktor curiously asked.

"Nope. Only you have to learn it. This forbidden art will give you the power to establish an odic link with the person you want to connect deeply with. Upon doing that, you can not only devour their odic energy, but you can also give it back as well, especially since it's you," Yannah explained.

"Then what is so forbidden about it? This seems like a very helpful odic art," Viktor asked with a shrug.

Yannah clicked her tongue as she said, "Didn't I say that this is perfect because you are an immortal? Well, guess what, nobody else can be an immortal like you. So if somebody else managed to learn this art, they would only devour odic force from others and wouldn't give back unless they want to die. But since dying doesn't matter to you, you can use this forbidden art to your advantage, giving Sera as much energy as she needs to keep her realm alive till the fruit is reborn."

"Oh…" Viktor's mouth formed an 'O' as he felt that everything was falling together in place, while Seraphina's cheeks became even redder.
