Chapter 242: The Apex Lineage
[Thank You Akbeauty87 For Gifting Mirabella A Magic Castle.]
"Mira, The love I had for your father led to you... But your Father’s people were angry about our union and attacked the Sun rise clan I built... Most of the members escaped, wandering around the world." Genevieve said sadly, her gaze distant as she stared at the swirling surface of the coffee before her. The weight of centuries of conflict hung heavy in the serene garden.
"Due to my love for your father, I ran away without telling him that I was pregnant... I also used my powers to seal the memories he had with me, so he can live happily." She exhaled, the breath carrying a tremor of ancient heartbreak, and looked up at Mirabella, her blue eyes filled with affection.
"I know these things, but I can’t remember his face... Anyway, I ran to Galaxy Fall’s spatial gateway." She smiled, a brittle expression, and took a slow sip of her coffee, anchoring herself in the present.
"I have the feeling my past won’t leave me behind, so I shattered my souls, each having piece of my memory and powers, until one soul was left in my body... My weakest side." She closed her eyes. Mirabella could almost feel the ambient energy in the dimension shudder as the memories flashed in her mother’s eyes—the agonizing process of tearing one’s own soul apart to bypass the world’s strict dimensional laws.
"I used that ordinary body and entered the gateway, appearing on Earth... I choose a man, and got married, so I can have a citizen’s right, for my daughter to live freely in that world... But..." She sighed.
"Lamashtu still helped him, and locate your whereabouts, sending monsters to invade Earth, so Galaxy Fall will be force to descend. That’s everything I know." She said, her voice dropping into a solemn whisper as she placed her coffee back on the table. The sheer scale of the conspiracy—an entire world forced into the system’s integration just to hunt down one lineage—left a heavy silence in the gazebo.
"Hmm... You faced so many hardship mother. So the soul on earth had no memory about the life in Galaxy Fall?" Mirabella asked, her mind piecing together the timeline of her first life.
"Correct..." Genevieve nodded, and continued:
"The Sun family is one of the oldest families in Galaxy Fall, much stronger than the Bauhinia, Sword, Flameheart, Korana, Azul, Draconian, Cordel families." Genevieve began, her tone shifting from a grieving mother to an ancient patriarch passing down the ultimate lore of the world.
She began to list the apex lineages, the very pillars that held up the modern empires:
"The Bauhinia family has the mythic eye, which greatly assist them in battle. The sword family has the ability to conjure a sword from anything thinkable, even from Spirit energy, the stronger the fighter, the stronger the sword created. The Flameheart family has the bell they took from the Sunrise Clan, one of my god class artifacts, although it’s the weakest, it’s also powerful; Not only that, they have the Flameheart Heaven Eye."
She nodded at her, making sure Mirabella was absorbing the magnitude of the enemies and allies surrounding her.
"The Korana family has the soul eyes, which is proficient with illusion and has the power to break down skills created with spirit energy... The Azul family has the Celestial eyes, which also assist In Battle and can also create illusions. Hmm... The Draconian family, this family has the blood of a true Dragon in them, once they reached the peak of their strength, they will have the powers to transform into dragons."
"....?!!"
She chuckled lightly at Mirabella’s stunned expression, finding a brief moment of levity in her daughter’s shock at the true depths of the Dragon Empire’s families.
"Seems you don’t know about this... Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah!" She continued, her energy rising.
"The Cordel family, Rulers of the eagle empire, they have the power to tame any Beast... They are also small families who aren’t that powerful."
She relaxed on her seat, the lore drop complete, and leaned back, staring intently at Mirabella.
"You must be wondering why I am telling you all these, right?"
Mirabella nodded her head at her, entirely captivated by the breakdown of the world’s power structures.
"I am telling you this so you should get something in your head. The Sun family, we are not only the most ancient family in Galaxy Fall, we have the powers of all Families combined."
".....?!!!!"
Mirabella watched in absolute disbelief as her mother’s ambient aura suddenly flared with terrifying intensity. Genevieve’s blue eyes shifted, and different, vibrant colors bled into her irises, mirroring the visual phenomena of Hitachi’s celestial eyes.
The display of absolute genetic dominance didn’t stop there. Mirabella watched as the eyes shifted again, turning a blinding white with small, rotating stars trapped within the pupils—the legendary Soul Eyes. Then, the cosmic white shifted violently, bleeding into two crimson red eyes patterned with intricate black and white tomoe. The Mythic Eye.
The wind inside the serene pocket dimension suddenly picked up, howling with concentrated spirit energy, and ten massive swords formed entirely from condensed wind appeared behind her mother, humming with lethal intent.
"...?"
Mirabella watched, speechless, as Genevieve calmly showed her palm. The next moment, a surge of draconian energy erupted. Glistening silver dragon scales manifested across her arm, locking together like impenetrable armor, and her delicate nails elongated into razor-sharp dragon claws, capable of rending steel.
"So My Beautiful Mira, you aren’t below any of these families, in fact, you are above them all... Never let anyone belittle you or place you at the bottom of anything... You are Mirabella, My daughter, and the Last descendant of the Sun Family. You have the powers to take down any enemy." She said.
As quickly as the display began, it ended. Her hand reverted to her soft human flesh. The ten spirit swords behind her shattered back into a gentle breeze, and her eyes turned back to their normal, comforting blue.
"Mom, you are this powerful, why didn’t you just kill the ones who attacked you? Why did you have to shatter your soul and escape?" Mirabella asked, casually tearing open a piece of candy, her pragmatic, battle-hardened mindset unable to reconcile such god-like power with the act of fleeing.
