“Oh? The old hag came out. I suppose it makes sense—after all, with Little Sister and Sixth Sister tearing each other apart, she had to show up.”

Huangquan wasn’t surprised to see her mother appear. Even if she had betrayed Father for the sake of humanity and abandoned them, her daughters, their mother couldn’t be completely devoid of affection. It was only natural for her to step in and stop the sisters from killing each other.

“Should we go say hello, Leader?”

“No, I have nothing to chat about with that old woman. Besides, my dear sixth sister is about to give her a proper greeting. I won’t disturb this touching mother-daughter reunion. Let’s go. We’re heading back.”

Huangquan had only come to check on the situation. Now that the fight was over, there was no reason to stay. Returning to continue her own plans was far more important.

“Understood.”

With her protector in tow, Huangquan prepared to return to the cult she had founded. She had many followers who needed her; she couldn’t afford to waste time on matters that had nothing to do with her.

“Leaving? In such a hurry, not even a moment to greet me?”

Her gaze fell on where Huangquan had been standing. She knew her daughter had been watching her from there. As a mother, no matter how far her child was, she could always sense their presence.

Naturally, she was fully aware of everything Huangquan had done since arriving in the human world half a year ago. But as for what she intended to do, that remained a mystery. All she knew was that Huangquan had founded her own cult—but even if she knew more, she had no spare strength to stop her. Most of her power was already spent holding back her husband’s atrocities against their children.

Besides, she didn’t have the heart to worry about Huangquan right now, because she had another daughter to face.

“Long time no see, Mother.”

The words sounded like a friendly greeting, but the chill radiating from behind left no doubt—Jidi’s attitude toward their mother was anything but amicable.

“Mm. Long time no see. You’ve grown up. Your strength has improved a lot too.”

Ignoring the biting cold, the woman calmly began to chat with Jidi. Whether Jidi’s power still fell short of hers, or because, as a mother, she possessed an unexpected tolerance for her own children—it was hard to say.

“Naturally. Ever since the day you left us, Mother, I’ve been training myself nonstop.”

“I see. It seems you’ve had a hard time since then.”

“If you know that, don’t say it so lightly. It’s all because you betrayed Father for humanity and abandoned us.”

How could the very culprit speak so easily? If she hadn’t done those absurd things, their family could still be living happily together.

“I’m sorry. But I couldn’t turn my back on them, no matter what.”

Toward Jidi and all her daughters, their mother undoubtedly felt guilt. But even so, she couldn’t give up on humanity.

Because if she, their mother, gave up on them, then humanity would truly be beyond saving.

“Humanity, humanity, humanity! What’s so good about those defective products? You abandoned us for them three million years ago, and you’re still protecting them now. Do you love humans that much?”

Jidi wasn’t just referring to their mother blocking Father’s legion to protect humanity. Just now, Liu Xingluo had escaped her domain—surely their mother had interfered with the domain. To do so much for these defective products made Jidi’s heart seethe with injustice. They were all Mother’s children, so why were humans favored to such an extent?

“I do. I love these children very much. What mother doesn’t love her own children? Even if they’re different from you, I still love them. And of course, I love you too. That’s why I have to stop you. Stop now and go back. I don’t want to see my children killing each other anymore.”

Nothing pained a mother more than watching her own children slaughter one another. If her death could end the infighting, she would give her life without hesitation.

But unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The root cause wasn’t her, the mother, but the children—humanity. Unless every last human perished, there was no way to stop her husband.

“That’s impossible. I came to the human world on Father’s orders. I can’t just go back because of a few words from you. Besides, I never considered those defective products my siblings. Father is right. Such defective things should never have been born. The best course is to wipe them all out without exception. Then you’ll realize how wrong you were to betray Father to protect them, Mother.”

Jidi’s mind wasn’t so easily changed. Moreover, having been chosen by Father to destroy humanity, she craved his approval. If anyone wanted to change her mind, they’d have to convince her with force.

“That’s wrong. They are lives born from my body, just like you. They are absolutely not defective.”

As soon as she finished speaking, several ice spikes pinned her to the wall.

“Mother, seeing this, are you still going to say we’re wrong? Take a good look at how weak you’ve become. Even I, ranked second-to-last in power among the sisters, can easily suppress you. It’s because you’ve been endlessly splitting your power to give to those defective products while blocking Father. If they weren’t defective, they wouldn’t need you to hand out your power just to protect themselves. But don’t worry, Mother. Soon I’ll kill all the humans and return the power you gave them to you. Then I believe you’ll realize your decision was wrong and come back with me. We’ll return to the happy family life we once had. Until then, please watch carefully. And now, I have something even more important to do than destroying humanity. Mother, next time, I won’t give you the chance to interfere with my domain and let that defective escape.”

Without another glance at their mother impaled on the wall, Jidi leaped away, off to find the fleeing Liu Xingluo.

“Even so… I still want to protect you all.”

Things weren’t as simple as Jidi thought. If they continued fighting, Jidi would likely die here. Just as she didn’t want to see humanity destroyed, she didn’t want to see Jidi die either.

Ah, my dear, how could you be so cruel as to not even spare our children?
