"No, you can't." Vastor's voice was flat but the hybrids could sense a tinge of sadness. "Even after evolving into whatever I am now, I'm sterile. My Abomination side may have no longer consciousness but it still drains the life out of me.

"Maybe I need to further merge my life forces and cores. Maybe I need to fuse them to perfection. We might never know."

"Not to pry in your private life, but have you tried doing it while you are in the partially merged state?" Bytra asked. "It should reduce the toxicity of your Abomination side."

"Zinya said the same thing so I'll give you the same answer." The Master raised his eyes from the papers, the ink he was maneuvering with water magic whipped the documents rather than writing on them.

"No, I have not and I have no intention to try. While in the merged state, everything of me is infused with Abomination tissues but I can control them because they are part of my body. The problem starts when they get outside.

"We all know how even a minuscule fragment of an Abomination can thrive as long as it has enough life force to prey upon. It's how I turned whole tribes of monsters into Abominations. It's how you guys became hybrids. I'm not going to put Zinya's life at risk on a whim. End of discussion."

Zoreth wanted to keep arguing, but she knew he was right.

Vastor had sacrificed many things to get where he was now.

He had betted his own life and those of countless others to give humanity a better future. The Master could shoulder the burden of that choice solely because he knew that it was for the greater good.

If something were to happen to Zinya or her children just to satisfy his ego, Vastor would never be able to forgive himself. He would become the villain of his own story and lose the last tether of morality

he desperately clung to.

City of Lutia, a few hours later.

Aran and Leria had come home straight after waking up in the Desert.

Only after they were done complaining about missing so many hours of sunlight that they could have spent playing and practicing magic with their friends did Rena finally get the opportunity to inform them about Selia's Awakening.

"Damn, when it rains it pours." Aran grumbled. "Now even Aunt Selia is Awakened. This is not fair!"

"What do you mean, it's not fair?" Lith furrowed his brow.

"That it's not fair!" Leria said like it explained it all. "Everyone in the family is Awakened. Everyone but us!"

"That's not true, sweetie pie. I'm not Awakened and neither is your dad." Rena said while helping to set the table for dinner.

Selia, Protector, and their kids had been invited to celebrate the return of the Verhens to Lutia. While the parents helped with cooking and food, Lilia and Leran had shared the big news with their rivals. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

After that moment, they had paraded their mother like the best thing after the discovery of fire, cheering whenever she performed even the most insignificant of cantrips.

"Only because you didn't ask for it, Mom. Uncle Lith would have done it for you." Leria replied.
