246 The Daughter
Selma Payne’s POV:
Azazel stopped smiling, and a bleak aura spread from him. He didn’t expect Mullwica’s appearance and didn’t welcome her.
“I devoured you,” he said with certainty. “How did you survive?”
Mullwica sneered in disdain, “Devour me? You self-proclaimed extraordinary demon, who do you think you are? How dare your lay your hands on the descendant of the goddess of fate? As long as the tide of the river of fate still flows in my body, nothing will ever be able to devour me.”
Was Mullwica a descendant of the goddess of fate?
This was not mentioned in the legend.
Dorothy, who had sneaked to my side during their confrontation, rescued me from the crystal. She seemed a little absent-minded, obviously very concerned about Mullwica’s existence. After all, Mullwica was her ancestor many generations away from her!
Mullwica must have been a powerful witch when she was alive, as could be seen from the vigilance of Azazel against her.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the cold sunlight shone on the two sides of the confrontation.
“Don’t worry, children,” Mullwica said gently. “The demon in front of you is just bluffing. He has just awakened, and the seal’s suppression has not completely dissipated. His power is not even one-tenth of the legendary power.”
However, even this 10% demon’s power was enough to tire us out. Mullwica’s casual tone proved how powerful she was.
Being looked down on, Azazel was displeased. He laughed.”Quit boasting, little girl. How much better is your situation than mine? How long could a broken and weak soul last? I don’t think we must wait until the sun sets before your goddess summons you away.”
Having his disguise seen through, Mullwica stopped smiling.
“Are you planning to continue this stalemate? You know, although we can’t do anything to each other now, my power will recover bit by bit while you will be burned out like a candle,” Azazel said casually. “I want to take my daughter and pet with me, but I only need to wait until the next night.”
His words hurt Mullwica, and she roared angrily, “That’s not your daughter, you shameless thief! This is my daughter! Be it three hundred years ago or three hundred years later, you’ll never be able to take her away from me.”
Wait a minute.
Daughter?
What daughter?
Whose daughter?
I was stunned by this unexpected turn of events. Dorothy was even more unable to accept it.
It was enough to make people break down when she looked like a great demon from thousands of years ago. Now, she was related to the legendary supreme witch. This was not an idol drama. It was not something to be happy about having so many identities!
Furthermore, Dorothy was only nineteen years old this year. The numbers didn’t add up!

While we were here, the smoke had already risen.
“You have to admit that no matter how much time has passed, my daughter will always be my daughter, as long as she still has my god’s blood.” Azazel was very proud. “And you? Little girl, you’re just a vessel for reproduction, just like a virgin who gave birth to a saint or a white crane who gave birth to a god. in fact, you know very well that for existences like us, the physical body is just a shell that can be abandoned at any time. Only the resonance of the god’s blood in the soul is the only evidence to prove our identity.”
Just as he finished speaking, Dorothy held her head in pain beside me.
“Hey, Dorothy! What’s wrong?” I held her, trembling all over, and glared at Azazel. “What did you do to her?!”
“As you can see, little dog, this is just a small greeting gift to awaken my dear daughter’s affection for me. Just like the nonsense in the ancient epics, a father naturally has the right to own his children, just like how a shepherd can control everything of his lambs.”
Mullwica’s eyes were filled with anger, and a dazzling golden light attacked Azazel!
“How dare you! Your dirty blood has long rotted away. How dare you let it contaminate my daughter again!”
The two of them engaged in a battle, and the color of the sky changed for a moment. The flying snow and stones became sharp weapons that could destroy the enemy. I tried my best to protect Dorothy in my arms, not letting her be affected by the battle.
As he fought back, Azazel teased, “Why are you still unwilling to accept the truth? You accepted Leviathan’s gift and took the initiative to use my blood to give birth to my daughter. Now that things have come to this, are you regretting your decision? What a sad mother. Her son had pointed his sword at her, and her daughter would never belong to her. What value did such a sad soul have to exist? Who would love you?”
“You will never understand!” Mullwica gritted her teeth. “Do you, a demon who has fallen because of selfishness, really know what love is? Your ridiculous past has long become a legend among the various races. A failed lover, a clown who destroyed himself singlehandedly. Are you so persistent in searching for the reincarnation of your descendants for fun, or are you still unable to let go of your sad past?”
