Malevolent – Chapter 9 – Gaia Lobir

“You can’t be Mother!”

Quickly,

Little Ailiya made her judgment, anxiously and angrily questioning. From half a year ago, mother had never looked at her with such gentle eyes.

Furthermore,

As for mother, she had already been…

Recalling her mother who had been twisted and torn apart by the Terran Malevolence earlier, Ailiya couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly, vigilantly staring at the woman before her.

“Why are you pretending to be my mother! What exactly are you!”

“…”

Faced with Ailiya’s questioning, the blue-haired young woman still wore that loving smile, standing silently in place. And after a strange silence for a few seconds, the young woman tilted her head, seeming unable to face Ailiya’s questioning gaze, her whole being vaguely emitting an aura of indignation.

“I… didn’t… disguise.”

The young woman spoke in Lianna’s voice. Although it was a familiar voice, it sounded disjointed, as if not very skilled at speaking.

Of course,

Ailiya had no time to care about this now, the anger in the little one’s heart vaguely surpassed her unease and anxiety.

“You clearly made yourself look like mother! And you say you didn’t!?”

“…”

Faced with this question, the blue-haired young woman fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, the young woman spoke again, explaining softly:

“If… you… see me as your… mother, that means… what you fear most… is… your mother… I didn’t intend to… disguise as… anyone.”

??!

“What, what do you mean?”

Little Ailiya blinked in surprise.

See her as mother?

Could it be…

“Ailiya, you must remember. The true form of a Malevolent One can only be seen through by a very few people with strong soul power, the vast majority of people’s perception will be distorted by their power when they see a Malevolent One.”

“Distorted?”

“Yes. For example, the Celestial Blight Ulutiel in ordinary people’s eyes is not a terrifying monster, but the person they love most. Whether it’s appearance, voice, or even aura, all identical to their beloved. So you must remember, if this time you’re unfortunate enough to see the true form of the Terran Malevolence, what appears in your eyes might be someone you know well…”

“A familiar person, huh…”

“Hehe, it might not even be a person, I’m not sure, after all, there aren’t many records of information about the Terran Malevolence’s true form yet. But anyway, you must be aware of this point.”

“I understand, Master Boloni, I’ll be careful.”

…

——

After recalling her teacher’s past instruction, Ailiya closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again to meet the blue-haired young woman’s familiar yet strange eyes.

“You are the Terran Malevolence, Gaia Lobir?”

Staring at the blue-haired young woman, Ailiya summoned courage to question.

Her pink eyes emitted courage and resolution beyond her age.

Enmm,

Of course, it would have been better if the little legs under her dress weren’t still trembling…

However, even so,

The little one’s questioning also caused the blue-haired young woman to feel surprised.

It’s worth noting that,

In the past thousand years, most people who saw her true form quickly entered a state of mental semi-collapse, even those few human powerhouses with considerable strength couldn’t remain calm…

She,

Seems,

Not to be affected…

Rеαd oո ΚatReαԁіոɡСаfе

A child who isn’t affected by her aura! It must be… no mistake…

For a moment, in the blue-haired woman’s long-dormant heart, a ripple of emotion rarely emerged, and she even began to sway excitedly.

However,

On the other side, the appraising look full of interest from the Malevolent One was not a comfortable thing for Ailiya, the girl only felt a chill down her spine, as if her soul was being seen through by the other party, ready to be torn apart at any moment.

But even so, Ailiya suppressed the fear in her heart.

“You haven’t answered my question yet…”

“Enmm, Gaia… Lobir… I’m not called… that name. But… Terran Malevolence… should refer to me… that’s right.”

“So it is…”

After confirming the other’s identity, Ailiya didn’t beat around the bush, directly getting to the point, asking her most concerning question:

“Where are my sisters?!”

Undoubtedly, with mother gone, the two sisters were Ailiya’s everything.

Before fainting, the infant basket with her sisters was beside her, but after waking up, they were nowhere to be found. Ailiya was naturally anxious, her concern for her sisters directly suppressing the fear of the Terran Malevolence in her heart.

“Where have you hidden them!”

…

However,

Ailiya had her points of concern, and the blue-haired woman specifically appearing beside Ailiya undoubtedly had her own purpose.

She didn’t directly answer Ailiya’s question, but asked her own:

“What is your wish?”

Seeming to say this phrase often, the blue-haired woman spoke very fluently.

What the blue-haired woman asked was naturally the wish Ailiya wanted to make after winning the Salvation Game.

But now little Ailiya had no mind to make wishes,

“Give my sisters back to me first!”

“What is your wish?”

“Give my sisters back to me first!”

“What is your wish?”

“Hey! Don’t you understand words?”

“What is your wish?”

“You!”

…

…

After a few minutes of back-and-forth, little Ailiya bit her lip hard, staring angrily at this stubborn Malevolent One in front of her.

This,

This thing is stubborn, isn’t it?!

Missing a screw, right?! Can’t you understand what I’m saying?!

If her strength allowed, Ailiya would have had the impulse to punch the Malevolent One.

Could it be?

Her sisters already…

Suddenly, an uneasy thought immediately appeared in Ailiya’s mind, causing her face to turn pale.

Finally,

Unable to endure anymore, Ailiya directly and forcefully emphasized:

“If you don’t return my sisters?! I won’t make a wish!!”

Though it was an emphasis, there was clearly a threatening intent in the little girl’s tone.

In the eyes of ordinary people,

Threatening a Malevolent One was undoubtedly an action of someone who found life too long.

However…

“…”

With these words, the blue-haired young woman was stunned, not bluntly repeating the same sentence as before. Obviously, Ailiya’s words had some effect.

After hesitating for a moment, without warning, the ground twisted, and a strange and enormous flower suddenly grew from it. Next, the petals opened… under Ailiya’s delighted gaze, an infant basket fell out.

?!!!

The next moment, Ailiya unhesitatingly ran forward to check the infant basket’s condition, and after confirming that the sleep-inducing magic and defensive shield in the basket were still functioning normally, and the two little ones inside were still sleeping soundly, the heavy stone in Ailiya’s heart was finally put down.

“Phew… thank goodness, Weiya, Miya, you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay…”

On the other side, looking at this girl who kept muttering to herself while holding the infant basket, the blue-haired young woman didn’t give her time to adjust her mood, directly continuing to ask:

“Since… your sisters… are fine, then… what is your wish?”

As these words reached her ears, little Ailiya stopped checking the infant basket, slowly turned around, and swept a cold gaze toward this Terran Malevolence.

In her hollow gaze was filled with suffocating hatred.

——”I hope… you monster, go die! The more miserable the better!!”——
