Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

After thinking for a moment, Nikitich went up to apologize for his wife's rudeness: "I'm really sorry. Nastassia suddenly gained power and became reckless. I hope you can forgive her."

"It's alright, this kind of problem doesn't matter. We're all here anyway, so we can just help each other out later."

Thus, the four people and the dragon rushed towards the center of the explosion.

Overcoming numerous difficulties and enduring countless hardships...

At least that's how Nastassia saw it. After all, she and Zme had won the whole way without lifting a finger, while Nikidich and the Demon King hadn't even lifted a finger. It was like they won without lifting a finger. She just didn't know why Zme, who usually loved to slack off, was so excited, like he was on steroids.

Finally, there was the creature, whether dragon or insect, that was distorted and deformed by the power of the meteorite fragments.

The three-headed dragon zme launched a fierce attack first, flying through the air with its neck outstretched.

Such a simple movement was as sharp as a fencing saber, and three heads poured off the creature's head at an astonishing speed.

Nastassia grabbed the creature's fangs as it tried to bite her, and snapped them off. The creature tried to resist, but Nastassia used the reaction force to shove her hammer into its mouth, causing it to explode.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted..."

Nastassia snorted and said, "But the matter here is resolved, so we can leave—"

There is a baby there.

Just then, Eri, who had been silent on Novia's back for a long time, pointed to a broken and burned tree. Everyone looked over and, just as she had said, there was a baby lying there, neither crying nor making a sound, gazing at the sky that had been dyed blood red.

"Oh dear, what are we going to do now... Nikitich can do most things, but taking care of children is definitely not an option."

Novia naturally understood that the baby in front of her was the newborn Koyanskaya, and Nastasya was the 'Nikidich' who had raised her for a period of time, her adoptive mother. He himself did not understand why she had suddenly come to Tunguska, but he had no intention of interfering.

After all, if Fou hadn't given up her beast form to save Mash, Koyanskaya would have vanished without a trace.

After examining the infant, who looked no different from a corpse, for a long time, Nastassia suddenly looked at Novia, who was carrying the silver-haired Eri, and seemed to have thought of a good idea: "Demon King, how about you take care of this child? I think the little girl behind you is human, right? It would be good for the two of you to have a companion."

Although Nastassia herself did have the idea of ​​taking care of him, she also understood that Nikidich was ultimately just a temporary shadow, a thing called a Heroic Spirit, and would not be able to accompany him for long. Since that was the case, it would be better to hand him over to this Demon King, at least the girl he was carrying was a human living in the present.

"I'm afraid this is..."

To be fair, Novia didn't really want to get involved with Koyanskaya.

Perhaps sensing his attitude, Nikitic tried to smooth things over:

"Alright, alright, since we don't have much time, let's send him to a family nearby before he disappears. Maybe they'll take him in."

"Huh? Do you really think there are any good people, or even any people at all, in a desolate place like Russia?!"

“...Yes, I understand, I understand better than you, Nastassia.”

Nikitich nodded. "However, there's nothing we can do about it."

The heroic spirit couple simply mistook Koyoskaya for an ordinary child and were unaware of her true nature.

"After thinking about it, I'll leave it to me."

Novia suddenly spoke up.

He thought that Eri had never had any friends, after all, her personality was too strange, and now Koyanskaya was just right.

After all, Erise is Izanami, and Amaterasu's nominal mother is also Izanami, so Koyanskaya, who imitates Amaterasu, can be considered Erise's half-sister.

He declared confidently, "With Eri Se by her side, there won't be any problems."

Thus, the question of who would become the newborn child came to an end.

Nikidich, his wife, and the three-headed dragon then departed. Before disappearing completely, Nikidich looked at Novia waving to them from afar and whispered to the three-headed dragon, "That demon king, is he someone you know, Zme? After all, you were so active the whole time, quite different from your usual lazy self. Is he some kind of elder? And you were so attentive to Zme, he must have been very good to you before, right? If you had told me earlier, I would have invited him to have a drink with us."

Nikitich's fervent words made Zme blink six times.

Is it that obvious?

"Nonsense, I'm not blind, and we've been together for so long... It's just that Nastassia is getting too cocky right now, otherwise she should have noticed."

"He taught me many things. And he is someone I truly admire."

"admire?"

"That's... a secret."

"I'm embarrassed," Zime said.

This guy's appearance really surprised Nikitich, who had fought Zmey for three days and three nights when he was alive, and he really wanted to ask him more questions.

But since Zmey doesn't want to talk about it, then so be it, he thought.

However, Zme then turned his gaze with a very serious expression.

"She is my mother..."

The mother is involved? Could it be the father...? No, isn't this a bit of an incestuous affair?

"The object of following".

It seems the former Hunnic kingdoms integrated a bunch of fantasy species to fight against the Holy Church, which makes sense, so he should be a general or something? Hmm, I can't think of any famous Huns, those two are unlikely…

Nikitich thought so, but the name that Zme uttered next really startled even the person who thought it couldn't be.

"Avia, the King of the Huns."

Because Novia turned around at the last moment, he didn't see Nikitic's jaw-dropping face.

……

At the same moment, after seeing off the two and the dragon, Novia was holding the silver-haired Erise's hand while also cradling the newborn Koyanskaya.

To be honest, these gods still manage to run around everywhere in the mortal world, so Novia really couldn't say much.

For example, Odin in the 7th century even came out to pimp for the Valkyries, and Amaterasu in the 20th century even came out to bless life.

"You must have heard that sound."

Novia looked at the expressionless Goyanskaya. "Those are the words of the Sun God."

The young child naturally understood the words spoken by the humans before him.

Not long ago, the goddess who shone like the sun gently blessed her newborn self.

"What is there to fear about alien life forms, or what is there to be surprised about screaming life forms?"

"Even if they are not born at the height of the sun, since they are born from brilliance, they are naturally equal to my children."

Ah, I see. I was born to be a child of the sun.

Although she understood that this idea was wrong, in nature, love is something that those who raise children possess, and feelings nurtured solely for joy seemed incomprehensible to her, a beast, and contradictory from a biological perspective.

However, Novia once again revealed to her the name that Amaterasu had been unable to say.

"Cursed Beast, very few will rejoice at your birth."

These gentle words, however, angered the young beast.

Not given by the father, not born of the mother, not intended to protect that species, but rather to be kept and enjoyed in a way that brings joy.

This spiritual foundation arises from natural disasters.

"But at least you can have a name, we'll call you—"

I have no connection with human reason; I am a being that denies humanity, a unique life form on this planet.

"Yaskaya".

At this moment, the young beast understood and realized.

This relationship is definitely not good.

Chapter 502: Ti Ma and the Bunny Girl.

Skaya hates humans.

Given the circumstances of her birth, this is only natural.

In the Tunguska event, amidst every tiny, illusory, fragile, and almost inaudible wail, she collected and listened to these inaudible sounds, and as if by miracle, she was born as an individual at the heart of a destructive phenomenon that allowed no life to exist.

In the very end, countless cries of anguish turned into blessings, blessing her birth.

"The spokesperson for the flames," "Our supreme species"—that's what the dead animals called her, the newborn girl.

From an animal's perspective, humans kill for survival and use animals for living, and all of this is in order to create a better cycle.

They know very well that this is how nature works: species that survive longer will use more life.

But humans have forgotten that agreement, forgotten their responsibilities, and some have even coexisted with animals for purposes other than the prosperity of their species.

Therefore, Skaya, who sees herself as the 'mother of beasts,' naturally despises them, but at the same time, she also helplessly loves humans.

Because humans are also animals.

Therefore, at the moment of her birth, she had a purpose: "As a collective opinion of animals (including humans), we must henceforth isolate ourselves from the human world." Her guiding principle was to exclude humans and disregard human rights, since in Skaya's view, all human behavior was dirty and not pure at all.

It doesn't mean that Skaya will always stand firmly on the side of the animals.

Instead, she felt that humans need to be disciplined and truly learn to live in harmony with other animals.

Yes, that's it. Humans need to be properly disciplined, especially that arrogant guy. Sooner or later, he'll be badly injured, but for now, our strength isn't enough, and we're still under his control. For now, let's just show this fool the ultimate joy. We'll deal with him when the opportunity arises later—

Just then, little Skaya, who was by the river dreaming about the future, heard a rustling in the bushes. A small head was peeking out from the bushes, watching her.

"Skaya, it's time to eat."

In Scaya's view, this 'friend' with the same hair color as that annoying male and whose temperament was completely incompatible with hers, especially since she was human, was best avoided or killed. After all, getting involved with humans would only cause a lot of trouble.

However, if we did that, it would be difficult to command that human. It's not the right time yet; we need to take it slowly.

This thought that flashed through her mind was the most direct reason why Skaya acted this way.

So she stood up from the riverside stone and looked at the girl's bright blue eyes with a smile.

"I understand, Eri."

Then--

Seeing the steaming pancakes and fragrant borscht in front of Eri, Scaya Madoka instinctively opened her golden eyes, only to find a lump of freshly slaughtered meat still covered in blood in front of her.

Judging from the color of the food, Eri's food undoubtedly has the upper hand, while Scaya's only advantage is in the quantity.

"Um……"

Perhaps sensing Scaya's gaze, Erise held up a pancake. "Would you like some, Scaya?"

"Fool, I won't eat these."

Skaya, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, grabbed a bloodstained chunk of meat. "These things are terrible, especially those made by humans. This is enough for me in the wild."

"But……"

"Erise, since Skaya wants it this way, then so be it. We shouldn't force her."

Novia said this while eating an apple.

As for Skaya, well, aside from the initial period when she was somewhat obedient to him, she basically went against his wishes afterward. Her main idea was that "in the wild, you should follow the customs of the wild," such as eating raw meat and blood... The best she could manage was eating wild vegetables.

"But shouldn't we get more nutrition?"

"Alright, Scaya needs to be a little special; she won't die from eating it."

Novia glanced at Scaya, who had been wolfing down her food not long ago but had recently become more elegant after reading books, and sighed at Erise, whose personality had changed drastically. "You're the one who needs to eat more."

Since arriving in Tunguska, Eri has been very diligent every day.

She hoped to be able to help Novia—this was her goal, and Novia knew that she was working very hard toward it.

Whether it's taking care of Skaya who was a month old or building a small home like Robinson Crusoe in Tunguska after the explosion, her dedication is impeccable, and she has achieved the results mentioned above. Novia originally thought that Eri was the type who would only take action after Novia had to wait for her to do something.

It can only be attributed to a sudden change in personality.

Strangely enough, even though she hadn't possessed anyone, Eri still had silver hair, which puzzled Novia.

Eri's expression darkened slightly at Novia's response. She lowered her head and ate quietly, taking small bites as usual, replying in a voice so faint it was almost inaudible.

"I see."

I always felt that Eri was acting strangely, like she had amnesia.

Although her expressions and body language revealed her emotions, she always answered him like a model student who would avoid worrying adults. Lately, she has been asking for his permission for everything.

Novia sighed and looked at Eri Se, saying:

“You two have different constitutions. Although Skaya is tough and thick-skinned, Eri, you have an extremely powerful hidden strength within you.”
