Chapter 860 - Truhan & Celica POV (1/2)
-----
<Truhan POV>
Hmm, such a good day.
It has really been a relaxing week.
We really needed to take a break from the fights.
Even I, someone knows for liking to fight, want to take a break and enjoy simple days with my beloved family.
Celica-chan is at my side, looking as beautiful as ever.
And sitting at each side of my shoulders, my children, Nephilim, and Rephaite point at anything they see curiously, we decide to walk around each stall we came across, buying a lot of the delicious and simple food that they sell in this festivity.
Oh, we are usually very big to come to the Empire, but we have developed the ability to change our size by drinking a special potion crafted by one of Kireina-sama's wives, Charlotte, I think…
It lasts for a long time, so we can stay smaller and enjoy ourselves with the rest of the people.
After evolving so much, we had become… incredibly big, so we felt rather happy to be able to join with everyone at more normal sizes, although being three-meter tall is still considered a giant, it still better than before.
”Papa, there, there!” said Nephilim, pointing with his tiny finger to a pink-colored stall.
”I want that! That… erm…” muttered Rephaite.
”That is called corn, my dear. My love let's go buy one, I also want to taste them,” said Celica-chan, as she guided me to the stall and bought four grilled corns covered in a delicious soy sauce.
It was so good I ate it in like two seconds…
”Eeeh? You already ate it?” she asked me while pouting.
”It was way too good…” I said.
”Maybe we should have bought more than once…” said Celica-chan, rubbing her chin.
”Daddy, have mine!” said Nephilim, as she offered me her corn, which I took a bite off.
”Thanks, Nephilim-chan,” I said, petting my beloved offspring, the most precious thing in my entire life.
Although they were born fused as one, they can separate now and are independent beings.
Their power is monstrously outstanding, but they know how to use it well, seemingly even when they are rather young children.
”Nephilim-chan, you spoil your father quite a lot, huh? What about mommy?” asked Celica-chan.
”I can spoil mommy! Have my corn!” said Rephaite, as he offered his corn to his mother, who took it happily.
”Oh, my beautiful little prince, thank you!” said Celica-chan with a gentle smile.
Days without fighting are also quite nice.
…
Oh, there are more divine presences than before now… probably all of Kireina-sama's family had become Gods at this point.
I do wonder if we could one day become gods too.
I and Celica-chan are in the last levels of our current evolution, but the amount of EXP we need is rather ridiculous.
However, it seems that Kireina-sama might help us reach the last levels and ascending the next days, which excites me.
After having wrestled against Gods on their full strength in the last war, I have been desiring to acquire this power.
By fusing with Celica-chan, we can reach incredibly new and higher heights, and thanks to our awakened Wrath Sin, which we can only use while fused, our power is enhanced based on our own rage.
Such power is dangerous in inexperienced and imm.a.t.u.r.e hands, but as we can only use it while being fused, our minds are never alone and we help each other overwhelm the power of Wrath, making it ours.
It is like… erm, well… like, you know. Like having a ”calm wrath” as they say.
The old Wrath seemingly died because it was not able to turn off the power of Wrath, becoming a berserk beast that was said to leave the central continent on ruins and then escaping the Realm, leaving a trail of destruction wherever it went until it died due to exhaustion and having his soul eaten by the sin itself.
Indeed, to activate sins, you do not need mana or life, you need to give it soul energy, part of your soul.
This is why it is a dangerous tool, if we leave it for too long, our entire fused souls might get eaten.
However, I believe that as long as we become Gods, it should be possible to offset this after effect, even if by a tiny bit.
Nonetheless, it is a dangerous power that should never be taken… erm, how was it?
Lightly! Yeah, lightly.
Hehe, I am not the same muscle-headed man of before! I am rather eloquent now.
When you evolve, not only do your muscles get strong, but your brain also develops more!
Celica-chan always said I was rather a dummy before… Well, I still consider myself rather stupid.
Hmm, it has really been a long time since the days we were Trolls.
We have reached way too much in these last months, it is almost baffling.
I even have a family with Celica-chan, something I never thought possible back then.
I am just very happy that Celica-chan reciprocated my feelings back then…
Since that day I swore to protect her, but it seems that she also protects me now, her strength had increased a ton since then, and she is a giant just like me…
Her beautiful body is packed with muscles as hard as mountains… Hm, just by taking a glance at her beautiful, sculptural body I cannot help but admire it.
My wife might be the most beautiful woman in the entire world…
Good thing she is my wife, hahaha!
”What are you even laughing about?” asked Celica-chan, as she was eating ice cream with my children.
”O-Oh, nothing…” I said, l.i.c.k.i.n.g the ice cream and pretending that I did not actually laugh like an idiot there…
Maybe I am not as smart as I thought?

Phew, we really deserved this little week to take off. Well, I think it had been more than a week.
Since the time goes faster inside of Kireina-sama's Divine Realm, it had only been a couple of days outside, I bet.
This is rather amazing.
