11 A Bit of Mercy (2/2)

”Antigone. It is a beautiful name.”

I comment, causing Ambrosia to pause. It is the name that she has just thought up a moment ago, and she did not tell anyone about it.

I lean towards the sleeping baby and touch her tiny fingers. The baby squirms a little and continues to sleep.

”Antigone. Will you inherit my power as well?”

Doctor Mathew did found a genetic marker when he examines the newborn. However, this marker is not in relation to my power. It was given to me when I was a baby back in the 31st century. The marker contains my identity, which passes to my children in order to form a linage.

I allow Antigone, whom I nickname as Anti, to be by Ambrosia's side for several months. It is too cruel to take the baby from her just after she gave birth.

I guess I am not a complete bastards after all.

There are some lines that I will not crossed.

”Lord Maxwell? Why? Please tell me why? I have done everything you ask. Please don't take her from me.”

Ambrosia pleads when I decide to take my daughter into the future.

The 3 month old baby cooed in my arms and looking up at me with her bright violet eyes. She inherits those mesmerizing eyes from her mother.

”I cannot allow my daughter to be raised by you, my dear princess. And I cannot allow you to remain as you are either. I am merciful. I will allow you to serve me and the cause, just not this life.”

I announce.

”I don't understand…? Am I to be executed?”

Ambrosia utters. She feels so powerless.

”No. I will not kill the mother of my child. You will be reborn and given a second chance. I rarely reverse a person's memory because it makes who they are. But for you, I will make an exception. Please make your peace with your mother. You will not remember her or anyone for that matter once I am done.”

Regardless of whatever Ambrosia says, I have already make up my mind.

I play with my daughter while Ambrosia makes her peace with her mother.

I never learned the name of the former Queen of Atlantis. Her beauty lost its charms when I become fully aware what kind of person she is.

I did have some devious thought about fucking both mother and daughter together, letting them share my cock, but I didn't carry out my wish.

Good thing I didn't or I would have been double shock.

”Selene. Can you somehow disable my sperms. I don't want to father any more unwanted child. I still want to enjoy having sex though.”

[Acknowledge, Operator.]

I should have done that in the beginning, before I had returned to the past.

It must have slipped off my mind since I have a lot of other priority.

It is also because no one get pregnant in the 31st century unless they wanted to due to the nanites in their body.

Once Ambrosia accepts her fate, I give her a few last words before activating my power.

As all the high-ranking members of Hydra watch on, Ambrosia slowly reverts into a child and then into the newborn baby.

Unlike many times I had de-aged someone before, I did not only manipulate the time of her body, but also the time of her mind.

This means everything she has ever known and experienced has been erased.

She is just a newborn child now.

”Doctor Mathew. I believe that you and your associates are the only people who didn't try to fuck her and her mother.”

That earns some laughs and coughs. They couldn't help it since they are all men.

I am probably a bit biased towards women.

”Raise Ambrosia as one of your own. Instill in her the values of loyalty and leadership. She will become a pillar of Hydra like she always wanted. She will live and die for Hydra. As for her mother, the woman does not need to know what happen. Just make up some plausible lies.”

Doctor Mathew accepts the task. He cradles the newborn in his arms. He is not married, and he didn't think he would ever be.

Once my job is done, I address everyone in the room.

”As you all are, gentlemen. Everything you need to know is within the Hydra Network. Follow the plan and you will not failed. I will drop by every now and then to see your progress. Do not disappoint me and the cause. Never forget, we stand together as one, ensuring the supremacy of the human race for now and all times. Hail Hydra!”

”Hail Hydra!”

”Hail Hydra!”

”Hail Hydra!”

With that, I disappear with my daughter, Antigone.
