Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 1190 - 120: Why_4

World Tree and Dragon God? By the time they arrived, we had already left...

Wonderful, wonderful, Matilda...

We’re going to win; there’s no one left who can stop us!

Margaret was so joyful, she was nearly in tears. She counted all the opponent’s forces of resistance again and again to confirm that there really was no one who could stop her; then she happily stood up, eager to dance a tune.

"Matil..."

In the next instant, as she wanted to look up and command Matilda, who was entwined with the teardrop, to teleport them away, a Phoenix with wings and frost all over suddenly flew expressionlessly above the World Tree Tear.

Below, Fisher, who was being gradually emaciated under the suppression of death, raised his head in disbelief and looked at the only Phoenix Species still moving above; he smiled and glanced down at the Phoenix Feather still clutched in his hand.

Yes, back when the Phoenix Species gave him this thing on Tree Continent, he hadn’t realized its use at all, and he even worried whether his association with Helair would be discovered by the Phoenix Species’ family.

But just now, while Fisher was teaching Tangze Asuka how to use Double Ring Magic, Nekoria’s calm voice suddenly sounded beside his ear; she asked,

"With the Ideal Country in such chaos now, should I take this opportunity to fetch the World Tree Tear, since it seems no one notices me."

At this moment, Nekoria still had not forgotten the purpose for which they came—the World Tree Tear.

She’s truly... Fisher was moved to tears.

Yes, even Fisher almost forgot about Nekoria’s existence. It was only when the Phoenix Feather glowed that he remembered, not to mention Margaret and the others.

"Nekoria, act quickly!"

"No!!"

Under the sunlight, Nekoria, with wings spread wide in the sky, resembled a holy figure. Amidst everyone’s gaze, she pulled out a spear and, disregarding Margaret’s heart-wrenching scream, thrust it fiercely into the barely breathing Matilda’s body. Then, expressionless, she raised the World Tree Tear from within its dissipating flesh with one hand, looking down at the chaotic Ideal Country like a victor.

Nekoria!!

But her triumph lasted less than a second. For some reason, in the radiant proximity of the World Tree Tear, her eyes suddenly started to burn painfully, as if on fire.

In that fleeting moment, a series of visions seemed to appear intermittently before her eyes.

She seemed to see a colossal tree, larger than the world, appear before her; she seemed to see lands filled with fire and ruin everywhere; she seemed to see her long-yearned homeland...

At this moment, the Phoenix Feather in Fisher’s hand suddenly turned scorching, causing him to quickly withdraw his hand.

And it wasn’t just Nekoria; all the Phoenixes far away on Tree Continent suddenly clutched their eyes from the pain.

In that intense agony, they all saw something to varying degrees.

Among them, there was an innocent child; she saw a massive Snow Mountain, saw one living creature after another residing in that wilderness...

Meanwhile, here, Nekoria, feeling the pain in her eyes, unconsciously let go, causing the World Tree Tear to fall straight down into a deep pool, quickly disappearing into its scarlet depths.

"Buzzing..."

Margaret stared dully at the World Tree Tear falling into the water. Although the Death Authority around her was still active from being fully activated, at least the deathly threads pulling at all living creatures had disappeared.

Margaret stood motionless, looking at the sky where Matilda had vanished completely.

Yet in the next second, Tangze Asuka, having just escaped the deathly threads, rushed madly at Margaret.

"Margaret!!"

Unhindered, Tangze Asuka, young and with her face full of blood, slammed the stunned woman to the ground. Tangze Asuka roared as she raised her hand and slammed a fist onto Margaret’s face.

"Why!!"

"Bang!"

One punch landed, and Tangze Asuka, nearly breaking down, trembled as her fists kept landing on Margaret’s face, shouting at her,

"Why!! Answer me!! Why... why would you treat me like this!! Why did you deceive me!"

"Bang!"

"Why!! Why make me good food! Why smile at me! Why braid my hair!!"

"Bang!"

"Why!! Why teach me courage! Why comfort me!! Why teach me to live!!"

"Bang!"

Tangze Asuka’s fists trembled, her hands bloody and brutalized. Her anger made her unable to aim, punching Margaret’s face and occasionally hitting the ground, causing wounds deep enough to see bone...

No one could tell if Tangze Asuka was angry or crying; Margaret could only see the crimson tears fall drop by drop from Asuka’s twisted face, streaking along her tear-stained cheeks...

Tangze Asuka began to sob, another powerless punch landing on Margaret’s face, crying out,

"Why!! Even though... even though I saw you like a mother!! I wanted you to leave with me... though you were already trapping us, I didn’t give up on you, I still wanted to pull you back!! Why..."

"Why... after all... tell me... sobbing... why... yet I trusted you so much..."

Margaret, her face equally bloody from the blows, stared directly at the hollowed-out girl in front of her. From the beginning to the end, she was like this, having nothing, thus wanting to offer everything to the warmth, afraid it would leave and abandon her.

Even if Margaret intended to deceive and abandon her, she thought first of persuading her; even though Fisher was already with Helair, she would humbly and pathetically stay aside, unwilling to leave just to watch.

But...

Why...

Even though I’m so humble, even though I deceive myself like this, you were still unwilling?

Tell me, why, Margaret!

Margaret quietly watched Tangze Asuka, who was frenziedly questioning her, as the voice resonating in her mind gradually drifted away. Though her vision was blurry, only seeing Tangze Asuka’s silhouette before her, she still opened her mouth...

Facing Tangze Asuka, Margaret’s throat moved as she said,

"Why... what’s there to why..."

Tangze Asuka dumbfoundedly looked at the hoarse-speaking Margaret beneath her, seeing the vague hint of mockery on her bloody face. Margaret said straightforwardly to Asuka,

"It’s simply because... you’re not my child at all..."

Indeed, it’s because Tangze Asuka isn’t Margaret’s biological child.

From the beginning and always, she loved and should love her own child, even though that child had already drifted away... 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Indeed...

So the answer is just this simple...

But even though the answer is this simple, so supposedly rightful, it made Tangze Asuka completely lose control, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Ah... ah... how can it be... ah..."

She couldn’t bear it anymore and roared, the crimson on her body completely covering her sorrow and despair, as if retreating in fear,

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

"Tangze!"

Tangze Asuka raised both hands fiercely, and under Fisher’s shocked gaze, she brought them heavily down onto Margaret’s already closed-eyed, barely breathing head.

"Bang!"
