Chapter 747: Endymion

If it possesses intelligence, then it should be possible to communicate with it.

Things would be more manageable if communication was possible. Annan might even make an ally through this ordeal. Naturally, Annan could also approach the situation with coercion, carrot-and-stick tactics, and brainwashing if necessary.

Sure enough, making a new ally would be the best outcome possible.

I, Annan, like making friends the most (????).

As long as there was no situation that made Annan say the lines like “I don’t know what I did to make you disrespect me so much”, the young white-haired Grand Duke would be approachable and amiable.

However, the problem at hand was that since the World’s Child had not yet been born, it naturally couldn’t master language. Therefore, communication became a problem.

However, this was not completely without solutions.

Annan stared at “the World’s Child” and sparked an idea.

Suppose… the other people would be cursed by the world when they use curse energy because they were thieves.

Then, “the World’s Child” using his power wouldn’t be a problem, right?

Annan wasn’t clear about how the elves created the World’s Child.

It did not materialize right now but existed in the form of light in the light chrysalis. Only Annan could see its posture. As for the others, even if they pierced the light chrysalis with swords, blades, or arrows, the attack would only pass through the body, leaving them unable to see what was within.

Those behaviors might irritate it, but it would never hurt it.

On the other hand, the situation was much easier for Annan to handle.

That was because his [brilliance] element was awakened to 100%.

For objects related to “light”, Annan had absolute authority.

Annan had not reached the Gold Rank yet.

However, he didn’t lack the ability to control his elements in advance.

“You guys step back further.” Annan said, taking a deep breath.

He held up the “Three Sirens” in his hand and chanted word by word.

“—You shall respect me!

“For I have torn apart the light within the mirror, walking above destiny—”

It resembled Euphemia’s chant but slightly different.

The moment Annan cast [Ritual Spell: Trace of Divine Transporter], a glaring brilliance burst out from him. It was even more intense than the brilliance that enveloped “the World’s Child”.

Annan’s incantation was also different from Euphemia’s, but it was much more concise overall, “I am the master of the Divine Transporter, leading six hundred stars to descend from below to the Merka Baha Hall! I am the Divine Transporter, and I will open all gates to the Light Realm!”

“I’m going to open the three gates: the gate of virtue and permanence, the gate of virtue and permanence, and the gate of worms and cicadas—”

Annan currently had no understanding of the meaning of the other two gates except for the worm and cicada gate. However, this did not stop Annan from copying Euphemia’s work.

The next moment…

Something surprising happened to Annan and the players.

Intense light burst out from Annan’s body.

His clothes were instantly torn apart by the “sharp” light.

However, when Citalopram glanced over, she was a little disappointed to find out that… when Annan transformed this time, his skin completely turned into light.

Behind him, a pair of light wings sprouted from each of his shoulder blades and waist, one pair reaching up towards the sky and the other drooping down to cover his body. His “hair” began to grow rapidly, extending to over two meters in length — like tentacles of light, floating in the air.

This time, Annan’s body did not have many cracked eyes.

After all, Annan had unintentionally shredded his clothes again… Considering he couldn’t exactly fly over to Russell while holding him with his hair, he decided to first put Russell down.

Annan’s hair was as flexible as tentacles.

He put the trembling and startled Russell, who was in his arms, on the ground. After Russell landed on the ground, she didn’t dare to move at all. The fox-dog lay on the ground and turned into a white steamed bun.

The only thing about Annan’s body that had not been transformed into light was the three-color scepter in his hand.

It did not change at all, but the crystal ball that Annan put on the tip of the fake scepter was also touched by the power of light and turned into a pure ball of light.

Without fanning his wings, Annan floated in the air.

After he got used to his form for a while and probably found out how long he could maintain it, he floated toward “the World’s Child” on the middle platform.

However… the platform in the middle lacked the support like the outer platform.

It relied on the power of curse energy to float in the air. The gap between the two platforms was the bottomless abyss… If the floating platform in the middle fell, it would likely result in complete annihilation.

However, Annan was undaunted.

He slowly floated over. His hair, which had completely turned into streams of light, was like steel needles, surrounding the fetus in the middle… and piercing into it one by one.

Using his hair as a medium, Annan felt the connection between himself and the “Child of the World” gradually becoming stable. After all, they were both beings composed of light—

Annan gently conveyed his goodwill — from an external perspective, it appeared as streams of light flowing through his hair, transmitting from Annan’s side.

[Who are you?]

A child’s voice sounded from Annan’s heart.

…It is indeed feasible to communicate in this way!

Annan was overjoyed and immediately responded like soothing a child.

“I’m Annan. I’m your friend.”

[No, you are not Annan.]

The unborn fetus, having received no education, nevertheless unhesitatingly denied this.

[You are the Divine Transporter.]

“The World’s Son” sounded stubborn.

[You are not a friend either.]

[You are a mother.]

“…Huh? You want a boy mother?” Annan was stunned for a moment.

Bruh!

I treat you like a brother.

But you want to be my son?

Fine, it is what it is…

“So? What’s your name? Or? Do you have a name?”

Annan continued to convey goodwill while unilaterally transmitting light to the other party.

Primarily, Annan was concerned whether accepting the other’s light would be considered as stealing curse energy. After all, Annan’s light originated from the Light Realm, whereas the other’s light was transformed from curse energy.

Therefore, Annan directly established a one-way network — he could infuse light, but would not accept the other party’s power.

In this regard, the unborn fetus gave a clear and systematic standard answer without hesitation.

[I am the manager of the Specimen Storage Repository III-2 series, having management authority over the ‘III-201-299’ type specimen storage. My current authority level is ‘Seed’. You may call me ‘Endymion’.]

…What is this?

It went beyond Annan’s expectations.

He originally thought that the World’s Child should have no consciousness or awareness of the world, making it easy to deceive… But now, he found that not only did the other party have a clear understanding of itself, but it even remembered its name.

Even before he was born, he already had a name and a high status.

Was it reasonable?

But soon, Annan thought of another possibility.

Even though it is so young…

“How do you know your name?”

Annan asked, “Why are you here?”

[The name my father gave me? It’s “Endymion”]

[Since the Third Age, each emperor is required to bury one of their unborn children in the curse vault. The next emperor must destroy the previous generation’s “seed” after leaving their own “seed.” If the unified Great Barrier collapses, the “seed” will serve as a sacrifice to restart the Great Barrier.]

Endymion replied without hesitation.

[Mom… has the day of my mission arrived?]

“Why do you keep calling me mom?”

This was what Annan was most confused about.

There was no way he had anything to do with elves.

However, Endymion was stunned by Annan’s question for a moment.

[That’s because the blood of the Divine Transporter’s Driver flows in my body. I am the son of **Muted**.]
