Shut Up, Malevolent Dragon! I Don’t Want to Have Any More Children With You Vol. 6 Ch. 2

After calming down slightly, vis accepted the tissue that Noa handed her, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and sniffing softly.

She paused for a mont, then bent down to pick up Noa, placing her on her lap.

Noa froze. "vis, Teacher… What are you doing?"

vis gently pinched Noa’s cheek. "I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to hold my younger self."

Noa: "…"

Oh my god, am I really going to grow into soone this eccentric? What about my dignity? What about my pride as a person? It’s all gone!

Instead of avoiding the situation, Noa sighed deeply and quipped, "I think I still prefer the cool and collected version of you, vis."

"Ah, that. At the ti, I couldn’t get too close to you. Otherwise, Elizabeth might have discovered sothing, and I wouldn’t have been able to stay undercover near Shadow."

Hearing this, Noa raised an eyebrow. "Elizabeth? Discovered what? What do you an?"

"In the sa cohort as s and I, there was a student nad Sally. She was actually Elizabeth, sent to the academy by Shadow."

vis spoke as she hugged Noa like a giant teddy bear, holding her on her lap and casually pinching her cheeks as she continued.

"In the original tiline, the four of us sisters, along with Hefei, nearly fell victim to Elizabeth’s sches."

"Fortunately, that woman was pretty dim-witted. Little Aurora ran circles around her until she failed so completely that she ended up writing articles about us."

Rosvisser’s eyes moved slightly as she contemplated the situation before asking, "You ntioned being undercover near Shadow for many years. Why didn’t you try to contact us earlier? That way, we might’ve been able to avoid so many troubles."

Since it was already confird that vis was Noa from the future, she should be well aware of everything that was about to happen in this tiline.

If she had reached out earlier, perhaps the decisive battle at Sky City could have been avoided altogether.

To this question, vis provided her explanation.

"Because of the event anchors."

Rosvisser frowned. "Event anchors… What are those?"

"If the existence of vis as a person were erased, then this tiline would develop into the sa future as my original one."

"That is, I would beco the Child of Shadow, and Shadow would obtain the power of the Dragon God. We would lose, and Shadow would unite the entire Samael continent."

"And the victory I achieved after gaining the Dragon God’s power beca the event anchor between the two tilines."

"As soone who doesn’t belong to this tiline, I can only forcibly interfere with the event anchor to change its trajectory. I cannot excessively interfere in major events."

"Little Aurora once told that if I ddled in too many other major events, it would create an even more unpredictable future."

"That future could be better… or far worse. We didn’t dare take that gamble, so for the past few years, I’ve only been infiltrating Shadow’s side to monitor his movents. I avoided contacting you or stepping in to help."

After listening to vis’s explanation, both Rosvisser and Noa nodded thoughtfully.

"I see…"

As if rembering sothing, Noa asked, "Now that we’ve defeated Shadow, does that an the future has changed?"

"Exactly. The mont we defeated Shadow, everything in the future… began to develop in a more stable direction."

At this, vis’s originally calm expression turned slightly somber.

Rosvisser quietly observed her, guessing that she was once again recalling the events of that tragic future.

The vis from before, living in a world shrouded in shadow, had only shared the tip of the iceberg when describing the tragedies she had experienced.

Realizing this, Rosvisser softly said, "If you want to talk more about the future, you can share it with . I’ll bear it with you—"

"No."

vis quickly adjusted herself, raising her head with a cheerful smile.

"Little Aurora told that, as a traveler across tilines, I would retain all mories of every tiline. But the people from the altered future wouldn’t rember what happened."

"And I don’t want to burden you all with that pain."

Saying this, she turned her head, glancing at the dazed Leon nearby.

"Let bear all these shadows alone." She said it so lightly, as if she were making a casual promise among friends.

Rosvisser looked at her profile, a mixture of pride and heartache filling her chest.

But she knew her daughter well.

Even though her personality had grown more cheerful, the stubborn streak in her soul would never change.

She possessed a relentless "hero complex," just like her father.

Rosvisser lowered her eyes, clenching the fabric of her dress tightly, and replied in a low voice, "Alright."

After a mont of silence, Noa asked, "What about you, vis? Do you already have mories of what happens many years into the future?"

vis shook her head. "No, Little Aurora said I would only recover those mories after returning to my own tiline. It’s a kind of protection chanism for the brain."

"Oh, I see."

"By the way, you ntioned not interfering in major events. Does that an you’ve done so things that wouldn’t impact the future significantly?" Rosvisser asked.

This ti, vis smiled with a touch of pride.

"Of course."

Noa leaned forward eagerly. "Like what? Tell !"

vis hugged Noa, gently swaying side to side while her tail flicked playfully behind her. She stared at the ceiling in thought before saying, "For example… do you know about the Blue Jade Lingzhi?"

Noa nodded. "Of course. Teacher helped extend my Primordial Mode’s duration, but that thing has only recently been cultivated successfully. It’ll take years to fully mature."

"Well, when I ca to this tiline, I brought so Blue Jade Lingzhi from the future for you."

Noa blinked her wide eyes in astonishnt, staring at vis. "No wonder I suddenly felt like my Primordial Mode lasted longer that one day…"

"Yup."

vis playfully nuzzled Noa’s cheek and smiled.

"Consider it a gift for the younger , who never had the chance to enjoy Blue Jade Lingzhi."

"This is outrageous!"

"Nope, it’s real."

"And what else?" Noa asked.

"Well… I’ve protected you and your sisters countless tis. Even though Elizabeth didn’t succeed in the original tiline, I was still worried you might get hurt, so I interfered whenever I could."

vis continued, "And during the outdoor exam collaboration, I secretly rigged the draw to pair with Dad."

She grinned mischievously, as if savoring the mory.

"After all these years, I finally got to do sothing with my dad again."

When vis said this, her face still radiated reverence and longing.

Rosvisser knew that since childhood, vis (or Noa) had always admired Leon, aspiring to beco a warrior as strong as him.

"And now, you’ve done it, Noa."

"This… ? Noa?"

vis pointed to the little bear patch on her jacket for Noa to see.

Noa’s eyes widened in realization. "Mom, Mom, you just reminded ! That patch—it looks exactly like the little bear plush Dad won when he played ball at Young Dragon Paradise years ago!"

vis smiled softly. "That’s right. Before I left, Thorne sewed it on for because…"

She bit her lip and steadied her emotions before continuing.

"Because none of us knew how long it would be before we’d et again."

"Whenever I felt hopeless, I would look at this little bear patch."

"It was the only thing that kept going before I could et all of you again."

"They were waiting for to return. Everyone was waiting for to co back."

"I absolutely couldn’t… collapse before the dawn."

Thirty years, holding on alone in a world that didn’t belong to her.

She knew where her ho was, and she knew how to find them.

But because of the constraints of the event anchor, she couldn’t et them under the pretense of "reunion."

During those cold and lonely nights, her only companion was the bear patch her sister had sewn.

No wonder she said she would bear all this pain alone. These experiences, too heavy to put into words, were not sothing everyone could endure.

Rosvisser didn’t probe further—not because she didn’t want to talk more with her daughter, but because she feared she wouldn’t be able to control her emotions.

There was still so much more she wanted to hear.

vis continued to share stories about the little things she had done over the years.

Indeed, they were all actions that wouldn’t significantly impact the future.

"How did you manage to co back to this tiline?" Noa asked. "Did you use the sa reversal magic Dad used back then?"

vis shook her head.

"No, it wasn’t reversal magic."

She thought for a mont, carefully choosing her words before explaining.

"Actually, we didn’t have any record of Dad’s existence as Leon Casmod beyond ten years into the future. All we knew was that Dad accidentally traveled twenty years forward in ti and, with the help of us three sisters, managed to return here."

"In simple terms, what you know about the thirty-year future is the sa as what I know."

"So, as for reversal magic… Little Aurora never had the chance to research it."

"But she did find another thod to send back to the past."

As she spoke, vis tapped her temple with her finger. "She only transmitted my soul and consciousness."

Hearing this, Rosvisser and Noa were both stunned.

"Soul and consciousness only? Is that… even possible?"

"I rember Dad saying that people can travel to the future through spatial rifts but can’t return to the past because ti cannot flow backward."

"That’s true, but that limitation only applies to living beings," vis said.

"Little Aurora conducted nurous experints and found that any living entity sent to the past would experience a phenonon called ‘temporal resonance collapse.’"

"In other words, if a living entity from a different ti coexisted with its past self, both bodies would simultaneously disintegrate."

"So, the real reason ti cannot flow backward is that no living being can withstand temporal resonance collapse. This is a law of the Samael Continent, one that not even the Dragon God can override."

"But—souls can."

"After countless failures, Little Aurora discovered that souls could escape the constraints of ti, and temporal resonance collapse wouldn’t affect them."

"Once we realized this, we began discussing who should undertake this difficult mission tied to the future."

"Last ti, it was Dad. But after being severely injured by Shadow, he spent years recovering, so it had to be ."

"Besides, at that ti, my soul had already fully rged with Noa’s. Sending us back together made the most sense."

vis held Noa’s slightly cool hand and paused before continuing.

"And for a soul that crosses ti, it requires a compatible host to operate in this tiline."

"The conditions for a suitable host are strict. First, the host’s magical attribute must match mine—lightning."

"Second, the host’s soul must be in an extrely weakened state, near death."

"Finally, we needed the host’s permission before their death to borrow their body."

Noa pursed her lips and asked, "Then how did you and Noa choose vis?"

"We found vis in a cave, already on the brink of death," she explained.

"vis had the sa lightning attribute as . Due to the war, she was trapped in that cave, gravely wounded and barely hanging on."

"We tried to communicate with her, and she agreed to lend us her body, but on one condition—"

"Protect her family," Rosvisser finished for her.

vis blinked in surprise. "Mom, how did you know?"

"Leon and I visited the Black Moon Dragon Clan," Rosvisser said softly. "The entire clan had been reduced to ruins by the war. But we were fortunate enough to find the ho of the Mirroro family, where we read a diary written by vis’s sister, Kate."

"She had a loving family—parents and a sister who adored her. So, I thought, if she had a chance, her greatest wish would be to protect them."

"That’s right. The condition for borrowing her body was to ensure her family’s safety. And we did it. Her parents have been placed sowhere safe, and once I’m ready to return, I’ll reunite them."

vis paused before adding, "But the Black Moon Dragon Clan has already been destroyed… And rebuilding Sky City will take a long ti. I don’t know where they can settle."

"I’ll take care of it," Rosvisser said. "Leave this matter to ."

vis’s eyes lit up. "Okay, thank you."

That morning, they talked for a long, long ti.

After all, thirty years of bottled-up thoughts couldn’t be shared in a single breath.
