A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 245
Tie’s green eyes wavered.
“Then the bone friends too, and the subordinates, and Lucalion and Ppupppu too…”
The child looked at the World Tree and asked in disbelief.
“Were they all originally your friends? They didn’t come because they liked Tie?”
The World Tree smiled.
“Child, they followed you because they saw ‘something special’ in you. But that ‘something special’ was ultimately what I gave you. So hasn’t the answer already come out?”
“…”
“After experiencing rampage, they were in a state of lost memories. They didn’t even know who they had served or what they existed for.”
“…”
“Then they discovered you. And they felt in you the power that created them, the energy that once commanded them.”
The World Tree raised one hand.
“That is, me.”
A stronger light leaked from near Tie’s heart.
Looking at the child, the World Tree continued speaking.
“But that too ends today. By now, those children would have regained their memories as well.”
Tie closed her mouth.
Suddenly, the moment she first met Lucalion in Jongno-gu came to mind.
Lucalion had been kind to Tie from the beginning.
He had activated difficult magic for Tie who was crying alone, and thanks to that, Tie was able to come to Talochium.
‘Even after coming…’
Whenever Tie was lonely or sad, Lucalion was always by her side.
Meeting Ppupppu and Marbas too.
Making new friends with the unit members was all thanks to Lucalion.
So she had always been curious.
‘Why does Lucalion always like Tie so much?’
Tie hadn’t done anything for him.
‘They followed you because they saw ‘something special’ in you.’
The World Tree’s words echoed in her ears.
Finally, something welled up in Tie’s eyes.
It was a very deep and heavy sense of loss.
‘It wasn’t Tie…’
It wasn’t that Tie was admirable.
It wasn’t that Tie had done well.
What had really been hiding power, what had really contributed to Agabert overcoming difficult adventures was the World Tree.
Drop, drop-
Sorrowful tears fell down her cheeks.
“Ugh…”
She had liked the power she suddenly gained one day.
Of course, she had to pretend to be the Commander King to hide that power, and was chased by the Order too.
‘But it was still so good.’
She recalled the moment she had protected the unit members with her own two hands.
The moment she calmed Father’s rampage, and the moment she saved Livia were the same.
Sobs kept leaking between her lips.
Suddenly everything felt frightening.
This pitch-black space too, and the World Tree looking at Tie from its center.
And…
‘It ends today. By now, those children would have regained their memories as well.’
Lucalion and Ppupppu who would have regained their memories too.
“Poor thing.”
The World Tree spoke in a voice light as if it would fly away.
“There’s nothing to be sad about. Once you become one with me, that fear tormenting you will disappear like melting snow.”
The World Tree approached Tie and reached out her hand.
“Don’t be afraid. It will be over in a moment.”
The World Tree’s hand touched the frozen Tie’s cheek.
The light leaking from her heart became even stronger.
“It won’t hurt. It won’t be painful either.”
She felt something stirring inside her body.
A tremendous power was moving toward the World Tree like a magnet.
“You will be remembered. Poems honoring you will be created, and monuments will be erected.”
The power trying to stay in Tie and the power trying to escape outside were in tense opposition.
“Even newly blooming flowers will be called by your name.”
Tie took a short breath.
She felt like the last wall inside her body was crumbling.
“You can become the dawn of this world…”
But at that moment.
“I don’t want to!”
A great wave that burst from Tie’s body covered the entire subspace.
The World Tree was flung far away and the black space instantly turned white.
“…You.”
The World Tree floating in mid-air looked down at Tie.
The child faced the World Tree with reddened eyes.
“Tie didn’t come to become the world’s dawn!”
Her small shoulders rose and fell.
“Tie came to find Father. To live happily with Father in our hometown!”
Tears flowed down her cheeks, but Tie didn’t stop speaking.
“And now Tie has found Mother too, now Tie has a mother too…”
The child wiped her tears and shouted.
“I won’t give it! I won’t give you Tie or the seed!”
The World Tree’s expression hardened.
But Tie was no longer afraid.
“So if you want to take it, then take it! You asked Tie for it because you can’t take it by yourself, right? You coaxed me to stay still, saying it would be over quickly, right?”
The child who ran backward quickly clenched both fists tightly.
“Fool. People who boast that they’re the strongest in the world are all cowards!”
“…What?”
“It’s in cartoons, fairy tales, Tiny Ping and Puppet Mon too!”
Originally, true strong people never revealed their power.
If someone boasted that they were the strongest, that was a villain one hundred times out of one hundred.
But at that moment, light flashed and the World Tree appeared right in front of Tie’s nose again.
“Foolish child.”
Tie unconsciously gulped.
The World Tree had already returned to her original form.
She had a form that made one wonder if this was what green foliage would look like if sculpted into a person.
“Luciano’s plan is to become immortal.”
Luciano, Tie now knew that name too.
“That man has contained within his flesh what should never be contained. My power, endless vitality. He has taken the destiny to control the world at will.”
The World Tree’s expression turned cold.
“Right now he’s barely holding on because my seed breathes within you. But what do you think will happen when I completely disappear?”
With a single gesture from the World Tree, the view changed.
The Briowood Forest that she and Basto had traveled through was burning fiercely.
That wasn’t all.
The First Gate where she had first formed the mercenary group.
The Weapon District. Pearl City. Caldenbain Ridge. The North Continent where Selina had left, the stronghold on Rosewerbel Street, the Imperial Palace and Luminen Estate…
“Everyone will die.”
Tie staggered in place at the miserable and cruel scene.
“Luciano is a clever one. Even at this moment, he’s strengthening his flesh by absorbing innocent souls. Without doing so, it would be difficult to control the power he stole from me!”
Soul absorption.
Hearing those words, something suddenly came to mind.
‘He said he would use it to purify the World Tree of Roxe Forest! He definitely said that!’
The carriage attack incident.
Jiheira’s vivid testimony.
“To purify me? What ridiculous nonsense!”
As the World Tree raged, a massive wave of energy could be felt from her.
“That arrogant mortal is desecrating the world! From the moment he completely devours me, your family won’t be safe either!”
The World Tree moved closer, her golden eyes shining right in front of Tie’s nose.
“I admit it, child. I have already become far too weak. Without your permission, I cannot reclaim the power contained within him.”
“…”
“But the same goes for you. Without my help, you can do nothing. It means you’ll never be able to protect your family.”
The faces of Tesetan and Ardiana that the World Tree had created flashed before Tie’s eyes.
“Moreover. Your body is already bound by the price of time magic, isn’t it?”
Tie raised her head at the feeling of her heart sinking.
The World Tree’s golden eyes still shone as if piercing through Tie.
“Someday you will surely disappear. You’ll vanish the moment you are born in this world. So I’ll give you time.”
The World Tree stepped back from Tie.
“Think about it. What is the best you can do with that body that will disappear anyway.”
The World Tree’s hair gradually faded.
Soon only her voice filled the space.
“Also, what is the only way for you to remain in this world as yourself.”
Tie collapsed onto the floor.
In the distance.
The edge of the subspace was brightening like dawn breaking.
