My sister is Luna
Chapter 8 "Farewell Under the Cold Stars"
"Hmm? My divination has changed. Interesting. It seems that an extraordinary person has appeared. Who is this person who has caused the fate of the Western world to fluctuate and shows signs of going down a different path?"
In a small courtyard in Chang'an, a handsome Taoist priest, more beautiful than a woman, leaned against the window, gently stroking an exceptionally beautiful peony.
A smile played on his lips, his deep eyes gazing towards the western horizon:
"A layer of mist is gradually enveloping the land. It seems that the King's Continent is much more unpredictable than I imagined. But it doesn't matter. What I should take back, I will eventually take back."
……
The bright moon hung high in the sky, surrounded by stars, radiating a cool glow in the deep, dark night.
Cain pressed hard on the Miracle Fragment in his wound, and when Chief Seta rushed over, a powerful shockwave erupted from Cain's chest, sending him flying.
Using the golden energy within his body that he could now somewhat control, Cain struggled to guide it toward the Miracle Fragment. The flowing golden energy began to mix and flow toward the Miracle Fragment bit by bit.
This was Cain's plan. He wanted to use the power that had traveled through his body to destroy the fragments of the miracle. The golden energy that could cross an entire world was definitely more powerful than a fragment of the miracle. He wanted the two forces to collide and eventually shatter. So he spent eleven years controlling the golden energy within his body before he could barely manage to slowly mobilize and guide it.
Since Cain couldn't slaughter an entire family like Armor did, he started with the fragments of miracles at the very root.
As it turned out, the facts before his eyes proved him right; he had changed his own destiny.
As he continuously poured golden energy into it, the Miracle Fragment began to tremble and slowly became transparent.
Just as I thought, the Miracle Fragment started to malfunction. I made the right bet! Cain was extremely excited.
"What are you doing?! What have you done?! Let go! Let go!!!"
Chief Seta struggled to his feet, his body in disarray, countless figures overlapping on him, countless different faces appearing on his face, turning him into a blurry silhouette. He stared wide-eyed and questioned.
"Cough, it's done." Cain coughed up blood. The golden energy had been fully injected. He lowered his hand. Cain's chest had caved in, and blood kept gushing from his mouth, soaking his clothes. But he didn't care about that, because he had achieved his goal. The fragment of miracle had been completely invaded by the golden energy. This was his victory! He had broken the predetermined fate!
He then allowed a violent emotion to fill his mind.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the Miracle Fragment, which had originally radiated a mysterious light, began to develop dense cracks that spread rapidly like a spider web. Its light dimmed, and it was on its last legs.
Boom!
Then came another muffled, heavy thud. The blue patterns suddenly shattered as if struck by an invisible force, instantly transforming into countless tiny specks of light that scattered in all directions. These specks of light were like stars falling to earth, or like a swarm of fireflies dancing gracefully, enveloping the entire village in a dreamlike glow.
hum-
As if a soft sound came from within their souls, all the Moon Clan members awoke with a start, watching in astonishment as these specks of light merged into their bodies like spring rain.
"No!!!" Without the support of the Miracle Fragment, the fused being fell apart. Chief Seta let out a wail as his face became wrinkled and twisted, and his body mutated into a grotesque, withered twig.
Kill... I'm so annoyed... I really want to kill someone! What's going on... Ah... I want to kill someone!!
Overwhelmed by a strange sense of irritation and a murderous urge, Cain stepped over and stomped on Chief Seta's head. Leaning on his sharp blade, he quickly examined his body. To his astonishment, he discovered that after the golden energy returned to his body, the blue energy, which had previously only been a trace, suddenly occupied one-tenth of the golden energy. Before his eyes, blue lines began to intertwine, and his sanity was gradually fading away.
Only now did he realize that this blue energy was not a helpful cheat code at all, but a hidden danger!
puff-
As the blade pierced Chief Seta's body, Cain felt his symptoms lessen somewhat.
"Farewell, old monster." Cain wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up, picked up his sharp knife, and came to Chief Seta, plunging the sword into his heart.
"Ugh...!" Chief Seta stared wide-eyed in disbelief before dying.
But Cain didn't let him go. One strike, two strikes, three strikes... Chief Seta's corpse was like a helpless sandbag, passively enduring the relentless onslaught. His once clear eyes were now blinded by an intense bloodlust, gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.
As the blade flashed, Chief Seta's wounds multiplied, leaving him unrecognizable as human, blood splattering everywhere and staining the surrounding ground red. Even so, Cain did not stop what he was doing; he seemed completely absorbed in the bloody massacre, oblivious to everything around him.
"Brother!" Luna was the first to arrive at the scene, followed by the other five participants.
Luna's appearance brought Cain back to his senses somewhat, but he still wanted to kill and his actions did not stop.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Luna saw Cain still "chopping meat" and wanted to go closer, but was stopped.
"Wait, Luna, Cain doesn't seem to be acting right."
"Is that the chieftain? Did Caingo kill the chieftain?!" one of the participants exclaimed in shock upon seeing the chieftain's blood-stained robes.
"What just happened? That loud noise... Cain? Wait... what did you do?!"
The tribesmen who heard the loud noise came to the scene and were in disbelief to see Cain with his back to them, repeatedly slashing at the corpse of the Seta chieftain.
Someone spoke up and asked, "Cain, why did you kill the chieftain?!"
Cain slowly sheathed his blade, his cold, murderous gaze sending chills down everyone's spines.
Luna and her parents looked at Cain hopefully, wanting him to explain that he didn't kill the chieftain, that it was a misunderstanding, and that people just happened to witness the scene.
Damn it, why can't I control this desire?
Cain was in a real bind. He had no time to explain now, and if he didn't leave, he feared he would suffer the same fate as Kai.
"Stop! Cain, you can't leave! Explain what happened first!" Several participants surrounded Cain, who was trying to leave.
"Get out of the way!" Cain said, suppressing his anger. He had finally changed his fate, and if this inexplicable bloodlust caused everything to revert to its original state, he would break down.
Several young men raised their weapons and looked at Cain warily, creating a tense atmosphere.
“Kain, you’re only making things worse,” one of the tribesmen said.
For the Moon Clan, Cain killing the patriarch was a fact, and destroying the Miracle Fragment was an even greater crime. No matter how Cain explained, no one would believe that predetermined fate. It was a sin for the clan, but this sin was far better than the predetermined fate.
The cold moonlight shone on Cain. Cain took a deep breath, looked at everyone with indifferent eyes, and said coldly, "That's right, I killed the clan leader. I killed him to act on behalf of the Moon Clan. I disrupted the succession ceremony. The Moon Clan is free. Goodbye."
After saying that, Cain quickly turned to leave, his bloodlust about to overwhelm him.
"What?!" The tribespeople were extremely surprised.
Mother Catherine rolled her eyes and fainted. Father Kate supported her. Although he was not as dramatic as Catherine, his pale face showed that he had suffered a great shock.
"Wait, brother! You're lying. There must be something going on. Please, tell us! Everyone will listen to your explanation."
Luna ran over, tears welling in her eyes. She couldn't believe that her beloved brother would kill the clan leader.
However, this was just wishful thinking on her part. Apart from her parents, the tribesmen behind her remained indifferent, their eyes filled with anger and other fleeting emotions as they looked at Cain, because the facts were right in front of them.
—Kain committed a heinous crime, killing the patriarch and disrupting the succession ceremony!
This is the truth they saw!
Moreover, Cain just admitted that he did it, so this is an undeniable truth!
Cain paused, but time was running out. He glanced at Luna one last time, a fleeting, boundless tenderness passing through his eyes before vanishing in an instant, leaving only one sentence echoing in her mind:
"My foolish and naive sister, this world is far from the beautiful place you imagine. Darkness is always lurking around you, waiting for the chance to devour you. Live well and live the life you want, but I hope you will always be clear-headed. This is the last thing I, as your brother, want to say to you."
Compared to the original ending where the entire clan was wiped out, two people survived, and the Moon Clan was preserved. At the cost of only one "person" and a fragment of miracle, Cain's family members are still alive. Regardless of right or wrong, he will bear the hatred of the Moon Clan alone, and no one needs to know Cain's true intentions.
Without the so-called inheritance ceremony, Luna can probably have a better life.
"Brother... Brother... Don't... Leave..." Luna sat on the ground, lost and distraught, murmuring repeatedly.
Silver moonlight fell, and there was a legend that the moonlight could preserve the image of the beloved of every lover. Luna's heart was filled with endless longing and reluctance, and she wished that the moonlight could keep Cain.
The weapon Luna held emitted light.
The Moon Clan's magic imbues weapons with the power of nature. When Cain shattered the Miracle Shard, the scattered points of light activated the inherited power within the Moon Clan's bloodline, which had been transformed by the Miracle Shard—
The power within Luna began to surge forth, its light mingling with the moonlight, and her weapon was engraved with a pattern of stars surrounding the moon.
At this moment, the Daughter of Moonlight was born.
