"So this was the truth of s…"

He had alondered where his special powers cah there wasn’t any doubt deep within his memories But he had never really seen the whole process

He wasn’t sure what that shard was, but after it activated the red light, it burned itself out completely That must mean it was soed with his head, so he could retain all of his memories He was lucky to have found a planet with hued before his consciousness disappeared completely

"This was basically the lucky result of countless coincidences"

Garen completely understood the source for his natural-born powers

To put it bluntly, his body on Earth had nurtured ait perished, this one-of-a-kind soul transh to er, and took over someone else’s body

It was a miraculous process Without the physical body on Earth, without these memories and experiences from before he was even born, without these countless coincidences, there wouldn’t have been someone as naturally talented as Garen

And this most basic idea lifted the heavy concerns from Garen’s heart

This was different from hereditary powers, his were natural powers born from the mutation of his soul The source was the very quality of his soul, that had changed after being awoken back then

A hereditary power caenes These were two fundas

One was the body, the other was the soul

The blood was gone once you change a body, but it wasn’t the same for the soul A power that followed the soul was purely nurture, not nature So the hereditary powers could be inherited, but the powers of the soul could not…

"It’s fine as long as they can’t be copied Or else, if there’s someone else with the sa his poere With enough potential, noas they weren’t too unlucky, they could still be pushed to the very top

But these memories he had just excavated made him realize that souls did indeed exist on Earth At the very least, he was an example of someone whose soul had mutated

"In that case, as for the Behe the truth, he couldn’t help but relish in their misery Black Orchid would surely throw a tantrum of crazy proportions

In a hidden underground base somewhere in the Confederation

Black Orchid’s face was pale as she looked at the white crystal rock in front of her Her hands dug deeply into the surface of the stone, leaving deep scratch marks

"How can it be!!?? How is it possible!! How can the essence of such a strongof only white quality!!" Her eyes were about to spit fire

"There’s nothing i his chest stood behind her, and replied ly, but was forced to by drugs And even noroes for strong fighters The only difference is that the chances would be sht, ti to have the child or not? Essence Stones aren’t that easily wasted according to your whiritted her teeth, her heart suddenly a round chamber, both of them fell silent

Finally, Black Orchid forced the words out of clenched teeth

"I’ll have it!! Even if it’s just a normal person, it’s still his son! That -haired man was about to reply when suddenly, the white crystal that was as tall as a ed, his gaze turned disbelieving

"How could it be!!"

"What happened!!?" Black Orchid instinctively sensed so-hairedHe turned his gaze away, his expression as he looked at Black Orchid holding just a hint of pity

"In the testing process, that man’s essence weakened and died because its life force was too weak… To put it professionally, its chances of living were too low So you can’t have it even if you wanted to"

Black Orchid froze

"Then… Then I…" Her voice began to treratulations, you were fcked for no reason" The long-haired man looked at her with pity

Black Orchid stood there, staring

She wasn’t even aware of when the long-haired man left the roo as the stone gradually returned to its original colorless state It reflected her pale, colorless face,

"Garen!!" She finally spat out those words through gritted teeth

Just then, Garen was sitting on a plane headed towards the seaside city He could ily expression on Black Orchid’s expression upon discovering the truth But no s for his first woain, I’ll make her death easier," he told himself Without that mental burden on him, his relationship with the Behemoth Gate was simplified once more

At the same time, he finally understood the source of his powers He was no longer worried about hereditary powers, and so that lifted a heavy weight from his chest
