Chapter 228

AKU clicked his tongue while watching Yumi scream in agony as she was being roasted to death by the Black Flame.

Then, just like a while ago, she combusted and burned into ashes.

That's already the fifth time that it happened since I arrived here.

By "here," he meant the praying room for Kyro in his palace. He brought Yumi there only to watch his darling wife die again and again in front of him. The frustration and the anger on the god's face couldn't be hidden.

"Why don't you just break Yumi's connection to Kiho?" Aku asked the Moon God in his spirit form, then he crossed his arms over his chest. "Yumi already betrayed her son. And I heard from Lord Ripperton that she has been disowned by Kiho. A spirit guardian disowned by their master could no longer return to their side. That also means that Yumi's connection to Kiho is at its weakest now. She could cut it off herself, to be honest."

He knew that much about the bound between a Beast God and a spirit guardian because she witnessed the broken relationship between the Supreme Fire Mage and Lucina Morganna.

The outcome of the separation of the two wasn't pretty.

When Lucina Morganna successfully separated herself from the Supreme after she betrayed her master, she created a human body for herself. But it was weak, so Lucina Morganna looked for a suitable host. A host was something akin to their master. It had to be someone who had a soul that could resonate with the spirit guardian's essence.

"Since Yumi is still a god albeit being a minor one, she could create a human body stronger than what Lucina Morganna managed to create," he continued. "Of course, she would still need a host to contain her power."

Since a banished spirit guardian's physical body was weak, it couldn't contain their power. To avoid breaking that body, they needed a host where they could 'rest' and 'store' their essence into. That was why Lucina Morganna begged Nia in the past to be her new host.

To be honest, he didn't like Lucina Morganna so he made her take a deep slumber inside Nia's heart for a long time.

But when his beloved became stronger, she managed to awaken Lucina Morganna. He figured the spirit guardian could be of use so he let her stay awake. And when Nia was exiled, he used the woman as a messenger for him and his beloved.

"Knowing your wife, I bet she would rather die than be completely separated from Kiho," Aku continued convincing Kyro to separate Yumi from Kiho. He had a plan after all. "So you should do it yourself, Lord Kyro."

"That's what I intend to do," Kyro said while putting Yumi in an ice coffin again after the White Snake returned to life a while ago. The Moon God put his wife to sleep so she wouldn't combust in flames again. But that trick wouldn't work for long. Every hour, the Black Flame would force Yumi to wake up, burn her to ashes, and bring her to life only to kill her again. It was a cruel cycle that he didn't know Lady Nystrom was capable of punishing someone with. "I just need to find a suitable host for Yumi. She needs a person with a strong soul to contain her divine powers."

"I can recommend a strong host for Yumi."

The Moon God turned to him. "And who might that be?"

"The Royal Archmage introduced their latest test subject on me a while ago," he said with a smile. "The White Tower was able to create a female that could apparently conceive a child with me even if she's not a Moonchester."
