MTLNOVEL Chapter 297: Your Destiny
A way…
He had to find something for his children, something that would not only be an integral part of his race as a whole, but also tied deeply to his bloodline.
For that, he decided to first consider what they already possessed — their nature, their abilities.
Lorna was a golden fox with the gift of illusion. Foxes were already known to be sly, manipulative, and dangerously charming. Add her illusion ability to that natural allure… and she became something far more dreadful.
So for Lorna…
"Illusion… the ability to alter the perception of others, to make them live an entirely different reality. The power to fool every sense, to trap them in the worst nightmare imaginable… or the most beautiful dream they could ever experience," Noah muttered under his breath, his mind sinking deeper into his own understanding of the illusion affinity.
The more he thought about it, the more an idea began to take shape.
His race shouldn't be normal. In fact, with him as the Progenitor, it couldn't be normal.
It needed to be whole, self-sustaining, able to exist without being anchored to any single place… or even any single universe or reality.
Something clicked in Noah's mind as he imagined Lorna's evolution.
Many ideas came — wild, tempting — but only one remained, solid and feasible.
"Dream… why not create a Dream Realm? A realm anchored to Laeh itself, not the universe. A place where Lorna holds dominion over the dreams of my entire race. And on top of that, grant her full authority over illusion — so that, in time, she could blur the line between reality and illusion completely."
His eyes narrowed slightly. "Meaning… her illusions could become countless other realities."
When the thought solidified, he couldn't help but question it. Was it safe to give his daughter such a terrifying power?
It wasn't about trust.
No, not at all.
It was about whether she could control it without losing herself in endless layers of dreams and lies.
It would not be easy.
He could give her the power, yes. But mastery, the mental discipline to wield it… that she would have to earn herself.
And so, the solution was simple. "I'll seal their powers and let them unlock them gradually," Noah decided, before his thoughts shifted toward Premier.
For Premier, strangely enough — or perhaps not strange at all — Noah didn't need to think long.
Premier was a wolf. And every time Noah imagined the ultimate evolution of that race, his mind went to the legendary Fenrir of his old world who was the embodiment of inevitability, of doom, of… End.
And that was exactly what Premier would be.
"The very definition of End in my race. If he decides something must end — and I do not object — then it ends immediately or drawn to that fate. Outside of my race? His power can run rampant for all I care. If he wills it…"
A slow grin spread across Noah's face.
"He could even end this universe. Or maybe my daughter will drown it in dreams and illusions so deep that reality itself becomes a question."
The thought pleased him but also reminded him that before they could wield such powers, they would need the minds to match them.
"So, it's settled. Lorna will be the very Origin of Dream and Illusion in my race, an Elysiari not just to Laeh but to the entire universe once I give her those Origins."
"Premier will be the End. And he too will have the Origin of that concept, so he can embody it completely."
They would both be extensions of him — his reach, his will. He would be behind them, peering through the providence of reality, guiding them along their destined paths.
Nothing would escape his gaze.
Nothing would escape his sense.
Nothing would escape his dominion.
His children could be their own people, without the burden of trying to surpass their father. After all… that was impossible.
He sighed softly, lowering his gaze again to their sleeping faces, peaceful and unguarded as they rested on his thigh.
A warm smile touched his lips.
"I cannot wait to see you become what I have in mind for you," he murmured, and then decided to transform them into Elysiari now, while they slept.
"You will be completely different when you wake. You will have new powers… and a destiny to fulfill. The one I, Noah Vaelgrim, have chosen for you."
Two drops of his white, pristine blood appeared in the air.
They were nothing alike. One was dreamy, almost illusory — sometimes radiating warmth, sometimes a deep and harrowing chill, its form shifting every instant.
The other was rigid, taking the form of a scythe, emanating an aura of pure destruction, nothingness, and void.
Noah had fused all three concepts into one to gift Premier.
The drops floated toward their rightful owners.
And then,
"Epithet," Noah said, as the air itself trembled in fear, awe, and reverence.
"My cute little daughter… your name shall be The Weaver of Infinite Reflections."
Ouhhmmmm—!
Space rippled. For a heartbeat, it felt like an entirely different reality had bled through — a vision of a silver-haired woman with eyes reflecting infinity, seated on a throne built from fragments of realities themselves, each shard pulsing with power. The woman's gaze met Noah's, and she smiled… before fading away.
When the vision ended, Lorna was cocooned in white light.
Noah's smile deepened, but he wasn't done.
As the second drop of blood sank into Premier—
"Epithet."
"My dear firstborn… your name shall be Endbringer of All Things."
RATTTTLE—!
Space shuddered violently… and began to vanish, as if commanded to simply… end.
Another vision seized him. A silver-haired man with deep red eyes, a scythe gleaming in their depths, stood in a wasteland of pure nothingness — a place where nothing could be born, where existence itself had long since died.
The man turned, his red gaze locking onto Noah's, and he smiled.
Then, the vision vanished, reality snapping back into place.
Premier was now encased in his own white cocoon.
Noah sat there, looking at both of them with the visions burned into his mind.
He already knew what they were.
A slow smile formed on his lips.
"It seems… the destiny I have chosen for you isn't so bad after all."
