157 The Seed of Time (2/2)

And the only way to do that without Legion knowing is through spiritual manipulation.

That means Adria already exists in a spiritual form or something similar. She is probably a reincarnated soul.

Since that is the case, I do not consider Adria as my daughter, as her birth is unnatural unlike Antigone, who is on accident.

Wow. Did I just say that both of my daughters are unwanted?

Great. I am the worst father ever.

”I am sorry, Adria. I am just a bit disappointed in the way humanity has turned out, and I decide to let it all out on you. It isn't your fault. If anything, it is my fault for not being there in person, with you and your mother. Please forgive this father of yours.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

I response calmly.

Adria smiles, quite charmingly.

”I will forgive you, father. There is no need to hold a grudge against you since it doesn't really lead me to anywhere. As for how the humans turn out like they did, it is very simple. Give them the world and they will want more than the world. Give them everything, and they will want nothing.”

She tells me, basically paraphrasing what I have tell my mother, her mother and grandmother.

My family tree is a bit weird, especially when I add in Allison and Lexi.

I simply nod as a response.

”Did you really wait for me for a million years, Adria?”

I question out of curiosity. I wouldn't do something like that. It is why I have a clone switch place with me instead of teleport into the future without saying goodbye to my mother.

And from what the new memory tells me, my mother and my clone live a long and full life together in a small but cozy home with Adria, especially after the fallout with the world government.

That usually what happens when you don't remove countries from the equation.

At least those countries didn't end up removing each other due to the fearing the wrath from the Ori.

They just settle on their own planet or moon before living the rest of their existence in a virtual reality of their own making, completely uncaring about anything else in the world.

Reality is far more shittier in comparison.

”No, father. I would have killed myself if I did. I mean if I could. I enter a long hibernation after mother and a copy of you finally enter the night. Only mother since that copy of you don't have a soul, so you just broke another promise to mother.”

Adria responses.

I arch a brow, recalling myself telling my mother that I would not let her die alone.

And from what Adria just tell me, I suppose that she did die alone as my clone doesn't have a soul.

”I suppose that I did, Adria. Like you, I cannot kill myself either, so I will make it up to your mother one day if you show me how. Where do soul go exactly?”

Adria looks at me before shrugging.

”I do not know, father. I think you are mistaken something about me. I exists because I must, and even without being born into reality, I still exist, just like you have to exist.”

Adria tells me with a faint smile before heading off in one direction, gesturing me to join her.

The countless robots that humanity left behind to keep the world functioning for eons to come ignores the both of us completely.

They aren't artificial intelligence.

They aren't even virtual intelligence.

Aside from the robots that once day will obviously fail, thus bringing forth the actual extinction of the human race, there isn't anything else to look at.

The entire world is grey and dull, pulsating with power.

Even buildings that once housed thousands of peoples almost a million years ago are being dismantled for replacement parts.

”I have slept for a very long time, father, and I only wake up when I felt your essence within this reality once more. While I know many things that you do not, I do not know anything that you really want to know.”

Adria stands at the edge of a chasm, where an enormous amount of heat and pressure erupt upwards, causing the flames around her to fluster.

I stand next to her and look below to see spiraling energy continuously surging and powering the world to keep minds in their blissful dreams.

”In that case, tell me everything that you know, Adria, regardless of how irrelevant it might be.”

I request. It might be easier to just download her mind, but it is probably impossible, considering how she comes to be. If that is the case, I will have to do this normal way.

Adria looks at me before nodding.

She then turns away from the chasm and walks toward one of the buildings.

”I will give you everything that I know, but only on two conditions, father.”

Adria tells me after she enters the building and begin to climb the stairways toward the top.

Everything looks completely clean and untouched for like forever. This is because everything is made of nanomachines. It will never be withered down by time.

Only by lack of energy or corruption within its programming. That is possible.

”And what are those two conditions?”

I question and follow Adria from behind.

Is it strange that I stare at her ass the whole way up?

Adria has a nice ass to be honest, and she isn't really hiding it at all.

To be honest, Adria isn't hiding the fact of how sexually attractive she is, considering the very revealing robe she has one. It did not cover her shoulder and back at all.

”One. You must accept me as your daughter. Because if you do not, I will not become who I truly am, as you are an Aspect. Your approval is necessary to reach my full potential.”

Adria tells me as she enters the hallway.

She pushes open the first doors she sees to find a bedroom.

With a single glance inside the bedroom, I realize that this is where Adria had slept, considering there are family portraits of my mother, my clone and her throughout the room.

”I see. Very well, Adria. I will try to see you as my daughter but give me a bit of time.”

I murmur. And wonder about that bit of information.

She knows that I am an Aspect, but she requires my approval to reach her full potential? Full potential of being what exactly?

”Thank you, father. As for the second condition.”

Adria settles onto the edge of the bed. Her hands fold upon her thighs. A smile forms upon her lips.

”It is as important as the first if not more so since the approval of the mind also requires the approval of the soul or body. Since you cannot touch my soul as you are right now, there is only one other way to give your approval. It might even be enjoyable for you as well as for me.”

Adria continues, causing me to narrow my eye slightly.

I think I know where this is going.

”Please give me your seed, father.”
