"By the way, can i use the soul of those beasts and demons you have killed?"
"What do you mean by using them?" Chiyou asked in a doubtful tone as he don't know how Theia can use a soul.
The moon god's sword was not used much by Chiyou but still, he has killed few strong demons and wild beasts with it, and if there is something that he can't kill, then all he does is trap their soul in his sword.
And among all of them, there is one demonic beast that Chiyou dont want to come alive as that thing is walking destruction.
"I have been practicing meditation and i am able to sense various things inside me, especially the sword.
Its all alive and its trying to control me, but i am slowly - slowly gaining control over it and also i am making all of its power as mine."
Hearing her words, Chiyou is shocked as he has no idea how Theia can do all these things.
He thinks it is fake but then again, what will she get after lying?
Thus it should be true and if it is true, then Theia will be so strong that she can literally destroy a kingdom by herself as the full potential of the moon god's sword is just too much and so far, even CHiyou is not able to pull out the swords potential.
Not only that but the sword's ability increases at night time when the moon is shining brightly.
All in all, if Theia is saying that she can absorb the sword and make all of its power inside hers, then that's just way beyond what even Chiyou can handle.
If tomorrow, things go wrong and he has to battle with Theia, then he has to get serious and give his everything.
But there are some other questions also in his head, the biggest question is about the souls.
When Theia will absorb everything, then where will the souls of captured demons and beasts go?
Theia smiled at Chiyou's worried expression, she further said "If you are thinking about the souls of all those beasts and demons, especially that one demon who has created fear among all of the rest of the souls,
Then don't worry.
It seems like all souls are in a different world or space and even though i am absorbing the sword's strength, their world space seems to be all right.
Rather, i am no able to look at the world more freely after absorbing the sword.
Though i am not sure if i can use those souls or not, still i would like to give it a try.
But don't worry, for now, i will put testing on those souls on hold for now"
"That will be better" Chiyou said as he took a sigh of relief
He don't know what will happen if those souls go out of control, especially if they are in the underworld where it's only evil everywhere.
Who knows, all souls may go crazy and do something.
"You have something else to ask?" Chiyou asked as he looked at Theia because she has not left yet
Theia smiled and said, "I have heard from your servant that your mother was a Demi-Human and father a human."
"yes, so what?" Chiyou asked in a serious tone
"I want to know more about your family, as i cant accept how strong you are even though you say that you are no special person."
"Just explain what you want to ask"
"As i said before, in our time, people like you and i were considered as pure royal blood as people like you had much more strength than other demi humans.
Though there were only a few who were able to grow tails, still there were few.
I know that my family was the last noble family among Demi Humans when the outbreak of demons occurred.
Thus i hold pride in my horns as these are a sign of my nobility.
Whereas you,
You said that you are no special, yet you have the strength to even throw away a Demon General who had lost his mind
How?"
"I think he was still holding himself back" Chiyou said, trying to move away from the doubts of Theia
Theia smiled, she said, "But still, you were able to overpower him in terms of physical strength, right?"
Chiyou remained silent at her words, after a second, he said "My mother was just a housewife, and my father was a hunter.
We lived in a forest, away from the civilians as they all considered us as trash.
To feed us, my father used to hunt animals and I also used to stick with him in hunting sometimes to learn how to survive.
Maybe that is the reason why i am stronger than average people"
Chiyou's words were calm, but still, there was something in those words that Theia couldn't understand.
"Are you sure about that, just how can one become so much strong by just staying in wild?"
"What do you mean?"
"I am trying to ask you, is it true that you are really their son?
What if you are not"
Chiyou sighed, he said "Yes, your doubts are true.
Before dying, my father told me that i was not their real son, but adopted"
"Then who-"
"Theia..."
Chiyou stopped Theia from asking more questions, the moment he called her name,
Theia stopped as she could feel some thirst,
Thirst of blood that made her whole back chill, she has never felt such killing intent. She is frozen.
Chiyou took a deep breath, let his anger go, then he said "No matter who my real parents are...
The truth is, they abandon me.
The one who raised my are my parents, the one who adopted me and they are my only parent, and that is the truth that will never change. And neither i have any desire to replace my parents with someone else
So, don't ask this anymore"
"okay" Theia said and leaves the room
