Chapter 678 Another Big Pot Coming In?
If you were given one chance to change your life, what would be the one thing you would most like to do?
Xu Ning figured he must want to know all the secrets in the world.
But what Calibel, standing before us, most desires to become a real human being, right?
A tangible abyssal power surrounded Calibel, gradually altering his body.
This wasn't the first time Xu Ning had encountered such a concentration of abyssal power.
Xu Ning vaguely remembered that when she met Ying again in that cave on Mount Aozang, the abyssal power she was under was just as tangible as it is now.
However, my strength was weaker back then, and my perception of power was not as sensitive as it is now.
But looking back now, did Ying back then already possess the powers that Calibel has now?
Or is it... that the power back then is a continuation of the power we have now?
There was no time for Xu Ning to think any further.
The abyssal power surrounding Calibel has transformed his body into that of a real human.
With almost the same height and build as Xu Ning, if it weren't for the long robe that looked like Ed's on Calibel's body, Xu Ning would almost have thought that this kid had used him as a template to modify his body.
"A miracle... a miracle..."
Ed clasped his hands together, tears streaming down his face, as he watched the changes that had occurred to Calibel, but a smile finally broke out on his face that he could no longer contain.
When Calibel's face finally solidified and he looked up, Ed couldn't help but laugh.
“This kid actually used my face and his mother’s face to create a new face for himself, but that’s good, this is my son, my Calibel…”
After all the power was absorbed into Calibel's body, the newborn youth finally raised his head.
The first thing Xu Ning saw was his eyes.
Those were pure, clear, and bright eyes.
In stark contrast to the almost filthy abyssal power that had just appeared around him, these were eyes untouched by the filth of the world.
Such a person will not be in any danger.
Xu Ning held Ying in his arms and slowly stood up.
Ed, however, disregarded everything and rushed over to hug his son tightly.
"Did I... hurt him? I'm sorry..."
Calibel looked at the person in Xu Ning's arms, a look of guilt on his face.
Xu Ning shook his head slightly. "It's nothing serious. I was just knocked unconscious. I'll be fine after a rest."
“Yes, yes, take a break,” Ed said with a smile. “Calibel, you’ve used too much power. You should rest too. Let’s go back to the house together.”
Xu Ning placed Ying on the small bed in the room.
Ed suggested that Calibel rest inside and keep an eye on Ying, who was still unconscious, and Calibel obediently agreed.
Then Xu Ning was called out of the house by Ed.
From the hillside until now, Ed's smile has never faded. After enduring so much hardship, his wish has finally come true, and Xu Ning can imagine the joy in his heart.
"Although it's a bit inappropriate to say this now, the power that's appearing on Calibel..."
Xu Ning hesitated for a moment, then decided to remind Ed, but before she could finish speaking, Ed smiled and raised his hand to stop her.
“The power of the abyss, I know,” Ed said, his expression turning somewhat strange.
Although Ed was still smiling, Xu Ning could clearly see a hint of amusement in his eyes, which was directed at him.
"Although it's the first time I've seen it, well... how should I put it, it's truly amazing!"
"great?"
Xu Ning smiled and took a sip of his drink. "Do you know that outside, the appearance of this kind of power has always meant extreme misfortune and danger?"
"Ominous? Dangerous?"
Ed was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"I'm sorry, but those two words sound really out of place coming from your mouth..."
Xu Ning keenly noticed that Ed had changed his way of addressing her from "you" to the more respectful "you (formal)".
From the moment Xu Ning met Ed, he noticed the man's demeanor, a quality cultivated from being in a superior position for a long time.
But considering his direct lineage to Kanria, he might very well be a Kanria nobleman.
Therefore, Xu Ning did not pay attention to Ed's frequent use of "you" and "you all" in a condescending tone during their previous interactions.
But Ed's sudden change in tone made Xu Ning feel that something was wrong.
"I don't know what you mean by 'incongruous'?"
Xu Ning asked calmly.
Ed coughed lightly, stopping his laughter.
"After all, it was you and those outsiders who brought the abyss to us long ago, Dionysus, or should I call you by your divine name, Saigong?"
“We admire you so much, we gaze at you, and even when you selflessly guide us to obtain that power, we believe that you have brought hope and a future to Kanria.”
Oh, another big pot?
I'm used to it by now!
Xu Ning took a sip of wine without saying a word, and after a long while asked, "You know so many things, you can't just be an ordinary nobleman, can you?"
Ed shook his head with a wry smile. "Compared to Dionysus, who can only be accompanied by kings and sages, what am I? But my real name is indeed not Ed. I just gave you a false name when I first saw the gourd in your hand, in case you recognized me."
"My real name is Krodal Jarbrić."
Isn't that Kaia's surname?
Xu Ning unconsciously glanced into the room.
Is the Abyss Order established by the ancestor of the little black skin the one in front of me, Kroda, or the one who possesses the power of the Abyss, Calibel?
Noticing Xu Ning's gaze, Krodal laughed and said, "Calibel has already mastered that kind of power. He shouldn't have such a miserable fate. From today onwards, he will start weaving his own destiny anew, and eventually become the loom of destiny, changing everything."
"It turns out that the so-called loom of fate is actually a person, and this is how he was born."
Xu Ningjing thought about it quietly, when suddenly he remembered something else.
"But since you recognized me, why is your princess here as well? She seems to do more for Kanria, doesn't she? Why do you seem indifferent?"
Ed was genuinely taken aback when he heard this.
"Our princess? Did she come? You..."
Ed slowly turned around and saw Ying, who had already woken up, push open the small door and walk out of the house.
"You're not talking about this kid, are you?"
