Chapter 980 (2/2)

Rhode sprayed a mouth of water, put down the water bag in his hand, and looked at Karin helplessly. Indeed, it wasn’t wrong of her to think that they were related due to their similar appearances… Siblings were fine, but surely he didn’t look like her father!

Karin looked at him blankly. Then, she pushed up her glasses and cocked her head to the side curiously. On the other side, Canary had burst into laughter, rolling on the floor with her hands hugging her stomach. Fortunately, Mini Bubble Gum and Anne weren’t around. If not, they would have their fair share of laughter. Christie gazed at Rhode quietly, her complexion flushed in red. Bell didn’t seem to have any response… Could it be that she thought the same?!

“Did I say something wrong?”

“Yes, everything is wrong. Christie isn’t my daughter, Karin…”

Rhode could tolerate being mistaken as her brother, but it was a totally different matter for him to be treated as her father. He quickly explained Christie’s background and clarified the situation with Karin. After hearing his explanation, Karin’s indifferent reaction seemed as though she didn’t feel like she said anything wrong.

“I see, Your Majesty… I thought that Her Highness is the child of you and Madam Christie.”

“Why do you think so?”

Rhode asked curiously. Karin said.

“Because the dragon soul power is too powerful and not anyone could withstand it. So it is impossible for an ordinary body to be impregnated.”

I see…

Rhode finally understood why. No wonder the Creator Dragon Souls were basically the inheritance of powers and couldn’t bear the next generation like humans. For female dragon soul heirs like the Judgment Dragon, Ruling Dragon, and Light Dragon, they couldn’t be pregnant if the man couldn’t withstand their dragon soul powers. On the other hand, a male dragon soul heir like the Dark Dragon had undead creatures as his subjects so it was impossible to have children.

Rhode had thought about this for a while now because after such a long time, none of the women were impregnated by him. He had even suspected that something was wrong with his body after transmigrating to this world… But now it seemed like it wasn’t his problem. Instead, the truth was that his dragon soul powers were too powerful that none of his women could withstand it.

Since this was the case, it wasn’t hard to explain why Karin treated Christie as his child. She must have seen the other ‘Christie’ when she was alive in the past, so it wasn’t strange that she had such thoughts. But…

Rhode suddenly recalled that Marlene had also awakened as a Deity Warden. According to Karin’s theory, did it mean that if he continued his way… Marlene might get pregnant?

Forget it, there’s no point in thinking about that now.

Rhode shook his head, while Karin gazed at the uncertain Christie with knitted brows.

How strange. I sensed some similar aura from her but they don’t have any blood relations at all… Madam Christie, what exactly is going on?

Boom!

At this moment, a deep explosion boomed. The floor began to shake and the torches on the wall flickered. In an instant, the entire world fell into complete darkness.

“Your Majesty.”

Karin said, her voice unprecedentedly determined.

“Yes, I understand.”

Rhode stood to his feet. Shortly after, Canary lit up a flare and it formed a dazzling fire ring that enveloped everyone. Not only Rhode, but Gracier and Madaras also put on a stern expression and clutched their daggers. Celia lifted her sword, bursting with sacred flames. Under the holy radiance, the surrounding darkness faded away as though they were retreating.

“I didn’t expect Chaos to reach this place. It seems like we were too naive…”

“———!”

All of a sudden, the surrounding darkness coalesced, transforming into creatures who pounced on them!
