From the dust, Bai could sense Mayi's divinity disappearing. He hurriedly dragged his body towards them, fright was written in his face as he was worried by Mayi and Fenrir.
Bai walked forward, finally recognizing some silhouettes. He approached them, the dust enough dispersed to finally see what was in front of him. Before Bai there were two living beings.
One was a little wolf laying on the ground soundly sleeping with a calm face. Most of his hair was black, with some white patches here and there, especially a bigger one that covered his right eye and ear. It was so little and seemed so calm and cute that rather than a wolf people would confuse him as a dog puppy. Bai instantly knew that it was Fenrir, somehow he had experimented an evolution, even if his image seemed docile, his aura had increased a lot, being stronger than a moment before. Bai was glad, he seemed tired but overall Fenrir was fine.
Bai turned to the other being. There, stood a cute little girl about 6 years old. She had short straight brown hair at her shoulder height. She was wearing a black and pink dress with a frilly skirt that seemed like a gothic theme. On her hands, she was hugging a cute plushie doll of a black ant.
The little girl furrowed her nose and stood up, seemingly having wakened up now. She opened her big round brown eyes, directly looking at Bai's eyes. The little girl blinked thrice, lashing her long eyelashes.
The little girl's brown eyes shined brightly, her face changing to an excited and happy win. A big smile adorning it that seemed to illuminate all the space "Big brother!" The little girl jumped at Bai chest, hugging him tightly.
Bai was shocked, but unconsciously reciprocated the hug, his arms surrounding the little girl's back. The little girl in Bai's arms was Mayi. Her divinity had completely disappeared, her aura had greatly changed, now even not resembling a human. However, Bai was sure that she was Mayi. She was the perfect image of Mayi at 6 years old, plus he had the feeling inside him saying it. He trusted his instinct and, anyway, who could she be if not?
Bai patted Mayi's head, a smile surging from his lips "Thank god that you are fine, Mayi"
Mayi tilted her head cutely "Who is Mayi?"
"It's your name." Bai answered "I am Bai. Do you remember me?"
Mayi nodded "You are my big brother and I am your little sister!" She stated.
"Do you remember anything about you?" Bai asked concerned.
Mayi made a thoughtful face, like thinking a lot. But, quickly shook her head "Nothing!" she happily stated "I only know that I love big brother!" she said smiling happily.
Bai wasn't really surprised by it. After that strong and almost mind-destroying fight, a memory loss was the most expected. It was far stranger, Mayi's and Fenrir's transformation.
Mayi made a worried face "It's important?"
Bai looked at her and shook his head, then, he hugged her tightly "It didn't matter. The most important is that you're fine." After having lost her so many years, thinking her as death. A little of amnesia wasn't important. She was his Mayi, he could sense her. Even if she didn't recover her memories, they would create new ones. If she thought as him as a big brother, he would become the perfect big brother for her, he would protect her, not letting her be hurt again. Bai vowed to himself.
Bai took Mayi's hand "Let's go out"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Star Duo Forest, the strongest spirit beasts could see as the struggling antman suddenly stood still, completely stopping. Di Tian lifted his arm, black claws surged from it, preparing to strike at the minimum glimpse of Mayi.
Like if it were a layer of sand, light specks left the antman body, the wind taking them away and revealing a different person inside. The antman was completely gone, Bai standing in his place.
Bai opened his eyes only to find Di Tian's claws at an inch from him, causing Bai to quickly jump back, but the claws didn't move. Di Tian couldn't sense divinity from him, it was clear that Bai wasn't a god so Di Tian didn't have a reason to attack him.
""Bai!"" Chenxiang bringing Lingling along came flying towards Bai, jumping at his arms. It seemed that Lingling wasn't permitted to approach Bai before and Chenxiang was brought to Lingling to heal. Tears of joy and concern ran across their cheeks.
Bai hugged them smiling "All's fine. Everything had finishe-" He couldn't finish the sentence when his body shivered. His face was full of shock as he pushed Chenxiang and Lingling away "Run away!"
Wings appeared on Bai's back, he strongly flapped them, shooting himself away from Lingling and Chenxiang the sooner the better. He didn't control the strength, causing him to crash and rebound to the ground, but he created a big distance.
Mayi wasn't with him in the outside world, after breaking the spirit fusion only his normal state remaining. Instead, Bai could sense her inside his own mind space, exactly the same as Fenrir who continued sleeping. This itself was a problem, it seemed that Mayi had become like something similar to a spirit soul like Fenrir, living inside Bai's space. However, this wasn't the big problem, he could think about later. The problem was...
"AHHHHHH!" Bai shouted as a powerful aura exploded from him, thick vitality aura exuding from each of his pores.
The problem was Mayi's own energy, now in his body. She had previously absorbed most of the energy of Star Duo Forest, eating its cores. Before becoming a goddess, Mayi couldn't even absorb it, letting it accumulate in the form of a forest in her lair. She was only able to absorb it once she recovered her mind and became a goddess. Now, that immense energy was inside Bai. It was so high that Bai's body was about to explode.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
