A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 275
“Compromise?”
The World Tree, who had muttered this, was momentarily speechless.
The sparkling green eyes before her were piercing right through her.
Astie.
Such a small, young, incomplete being.
However, the power flowing within the child’s heart was strong and vivid.
‘Because it’s none other than mine.’
The moment she thought this, Astie spoke.
“You said so before, right? That you can’t take power without Tie’s permission, and you can’t come out from inside either.”
The World Tree’s expression darkened.
Because what Astie said was true.
She had been trapped in the deepest part of the child’s unconscious all this time.
And she could only come out into the world when Tie permitted it, or when the child’s unconscious was shaken enough for her heart to open.
“But there’s a condition.”
Astie’s eyes became serious.
“Teach Tie how to use power properly.”
The World Tree hesitated.
The leaves that formed her body vibrated with a rustling sound.
“Are you… suggesting we make a deal with me right now?”
“Yes!”
Tie answered spiritedly.
The World Tree let out a hollow laugh without realizing it.
For such a long time.
There had never been anyone who dared to try making a deal with her.
The choice had always been hers, and there was no price to pay.
However, at this moment.
Tie was looking at her with an innocent expression.
‘…How strange.’
But why was it?
She couldn’t rashly refuse.
“Being trapped in Tie’s heart is uncomfortable, isn’t it?”
The child asked.
As if she knew everything.
The World Tree closed her mouth without being able to answer.
“That’s why you said you’d devour Tie last time too, right? Because you wanted to come outside. Tie is right, isn’t she? Hm?”
The World Tree’s golden eyes wavered.
“…Wanting to come outside.”
She muttered and smiled somewhat crookedly.
“Yes, I can’t deny it.”
In Roxe Forest, she had already been defeated once by Luciano.
The result was devastating.
Her subordinates were corrupted and became monsters, and the lives she had carefully nurtured withered away meaninglessly.
In truth, from that moment on, there was only one path left for her.
‘Creating a seed with the remaining essence.’
And placing that seed in Astie, who was the most fertile ground and the chosen one.
‘It wasn’t an easy path.’
Even so, while doing everything while avoiding Luciano’s eyes, the World Tree thought of only one thing.
‘I will restore it.’
The brilliant Roxe Forest.
She would reclaim her mighty era.
However, the problem erupted from an unexpected place.
‘I don’t want to!’
‘Tie didn’t come to become the world’s dawn!’
The ground where roots must be planted.
That ground, Astie, had rejected her.
‘I won’t give it! I won’t give you Tie or the seed!’
If it had been before, she wouldn’t have been shaken by a mere creature’s rebellion.
She would have made the child kneel before her even by using force.
However, she couldn’t force obedience from Tie.
Astie had already perfectly absorbed her seed.
Moreover, as time passed, she was handling her power more and more skillfully.
The World Tree finally acknowledged it.
‘Was I wrong?’
To be pushed back in a power struggle with a mere human child.
Was that all?
Lucalion and Krazaru were now on Astie’s side too.
The fact that they remained by the child’s side even after regaining all their memories showed this.
The World Tree’s expression darkened.
‘Astie. What exactly is that child?’
The child created very sharp variables very easily.
And now she was trying to absorb her in reverse.
The anxiety only grew day by day.
Was it because she had lost her power as an Absolute Being?
Troubles and pain that she had rarely felt during her prime days were consuming her.
However, among all of these, what tormented her the most was one thing.
‘Powerlessness.’
The powerlessness of being trapped in Astie’s unconscious and possibly never being able to get out.
The terrible fact that she might have to watch the world’s end from inside here, unable to do anything, was gnawing away at all the beliefs she had held until now.
Astie took a step closer.
“Anyway, we can only do one of two things. Either compromise with each other, or keep fighting.”
However, suddenly the child made a serious expression.
“No, that’s not right.”
The sparkling green eyes still showed no wavering.
“You’re deciding whether to fight with good Tie who knows how to compromise first, or fight with Luciano who’s the worst in the world.”
A small hand was extended toward the World Tree.
The World Tree’s golden eyes wavered.
Whoooosh-
A wind that blew brushed past between the two.
How long did the silence last?
The World Tree’s tightly closed lips slowly opened.
“…It’s not something that can be done just by learning.”
The leaves that surrounded her scattered into the air, then formed a shape again right in front of Tie.
“Your current body is like a small jar containing a fierce storm. If you can’t handle it, that storm will eventually devour you.”
Tie frowned.
“You will never be able to fully handle my power. That’s something humans simply cannot do.”
Sire’s eyes widened.
“Then….”
Tie’s expression darkened.
“You’re saying you won’t get along with Tie until the end?”
The hand she had extended slowly dropped down.
The World Tree’s golden eyes were fixed on that very hand.
But just before Sire’s fingertips completely withdrew.
“Spirits.”
The World Tree grasped Tie’s hand.
“Learning to handle the spirits under my command.”
“….”
“That gives you better odds right now.”
Tie’s lips parted slightly.
Sire, who had been looking at their clasped hands, raised her head.
“Forgotten winds. Light sleeping in mist. Voices slumbering in the cracks of time. Many have already perished. But I am one who shapes life.”
The World Tree raised her other hand into the air.
Then, pure holy power condensed at her fingertips.
“There is only one thing you must do.”
The holy power evolved into a pulsation that resonated with the heart.
“You must learn how to speak to them. About what exactly you want.”
If she couldn’t take root, she at least shouldn’t be devoured.
For that purpose, this path was the best.
The World Tree extended her hand with condensed holy power toward Tie.
“I shall give you the oldest names I possess.”
The light slowly seeped into Tie’s heart.
“…Now it’s your turn to call them.”
The next moment.
White light enveloped Tie and the World Tree.
Early dawn.
“…is it? Wow!”
Tesetan slowly opened his eyes to the sunlight streaming through the curtains.
He blinked with a momentarily confused expression.
‘When did I fall into such deep sleep?’
Was it because he had slept beside Tie?
For the first time in a while, he had enjoyed a deep sleep where he couldn’t even remember his dreams.
‘This is crazy. Falling asleep in Serkanos Cathedral.’
He covered his eyes with one hand.
In that instant, through his drowsy senses, he heard a familiar voice again.
“Huh. Got it! This is how you do it, right?”
Tesetan opened his eyes again, realizing it was Tie’s voice.
He groaned as he sat up.
Looking down, he saw a small head poking out from the bottom of the bed.
“Uhaha! That tickles!”
At the burst of laughter, Tesetan swung his legs out of bed.
And said in a hoarse voice.
“Daughter. If you’re awake, you should wake Father up. Playing with Ppupppu from morning….”
However, he couldn’t finish his sentence.
He froze in place at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
“Father! Did you sleep well?”
Sire, who had been crouching, jumped up and ran to Tesetan.
“Tie has something to show you! It’s….”
Sire scratched her head as if embarrassed.
Then, several pairs of eyes appeared one by one from behind her.
“…What is.”
Tesetan opened his lips as if speechless.
Palm-sized forms were hovering around Sire.
Light and transparent figures like dandelion seeds scattered in the wind.
“You see, these are spirits the World Tree gave Tie to take care of!”
However, something distinct was emanating from them.
Things like flames, moisture, or static electricity.
Excited, Tie placed one of them on her hand.
Sparkling flames crackled around the bright yellow form.
“They’re still babies so they’re really tiny. But that’s why they can hide well, and Tie memorized all their names too.”
When Tie opened her other hand, several forms rushed over.
They were pushing each other around, competing to occupy Tie’s palm.
“This one is Mimu, this is Lipi, Kur, Nubi, Runil….”
Tie’s voice was clear and bright.
Meanwhile, the forms engaged in increasingly fierce struggles.
At that moment.
A sacred stone hanging in one corner of the room cracked with a crackling sound from the energy the forms emitted.
Tesetan swallowed hard.
Tie also blinked in surprise.
Looking down, all the forms had already descended from Tie’s palm.
“Hmph-”
Ppupppu, who had been watching, shook his head as if exasperated.
