Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 314: And The Angel Shall Descend from Heaven (V)

Selene noticed the ripples on the pond grew bigger, which was a sign that Swan’s power began to affect the Goddess realm. It was a good sign, but still not enough.

She patted Swan’s back and said, "Relax, Swan. This is for your own good. Besides, you have your son here. He will grow up eventually, and if he ever asks about his father, just tell him that his father died in a war and never be able to reunite with them."

Swan’s chest was heaving up and down as she was trying her best not to explode right now. She was so upset that she wished this entire realm would crumble alongside her mother and aunt because they said many cruel things to Gale, who had gone through a lot in his life.

"Both of you are not the Goddess that should be worshipped," Swan stated as she began to shed her tears that turned into crystals the moment they fell to the ground. "You two are useless goddesses that refuse to help those in peril. And you two are not my family, because you refused to help me."

Both Asmara and Selene were hurt by that sentence. Of course, they truly loved their little Swan so much, especially Asmara who had to witness her daughter’s suffering when she grew up in the Holy Achate Palace.

But they were doing this to awaken her real power, so she would be well prepared to face Aria, the dark witch.

Swan wanted to jump into the pond, but Asmara held her, "What are you doing, Swan?"

"I’m going to help my husband," Swan said decisively. "I don’t care what will happen, but I will not let him suffer anymore in this war!"

"You cannot do that, you’re too weak," Selene repeated. "Besides, you still have your baby. Do you want Sol to join the battle as well?"

Swan gazed at her son, who seemed to have understood what his mama was about to do. Thus, Sol instinctively closed his eyes, and his body began to be encased in a cocoon made out of diamond and floated midair in front of them.

Both Selene and Asmara were surprised, "W-what happened to Sol?!"

"He knows that I am about to help his father. That’s why he encased himself inside the cocoon and waited for me to return," Swan replied. "Now, let go of me. I will go down and help Gale."

Swan wanted to jump into the pond again, but Asmara and Selene bound her legs and hands with light rope, making sure that she couldn’t escape.

"What is this? Let me go!" Swan glared at her mother and aunt. "If none of you want to help me, then at least let me help him myself!"

Asmara used her power to lift Swan and pushed her daughter away from the pond and said, "We cannot do that, dearest. You are not in your right mind. You should understand that we’re doing this for your sake."

"For my sake? If you’re doing this for my sake, then you’d have helped my husband!" Swan yelled. Selene helped by adding even more light rope around Swan’s body, making sure that she wouldn’t escape.

"If you want to help your husband, then you need to defeat us first," Selene challenged. "You’re not strong enough to defeat us, let alone the many tricks that dark witch has."

Swan was disappointed, heartbroken, and angry at her mother and aunt. She was trying to break free as hard as she could to no avail, until she heard the voice coming from the pond.

It was a prayer that her husband muttered as he was on the death door.

I need you, Swan...

His prayer echoed inside the Goddess realm, but more importantly, his prayer echoed in her heart. She began crying as she imagined her husband would die because she was too late to save him.

Swan thought that she could live without her husband and son. She wished them a good life together, but not with her because a long time of abuse made her feel like she wasn’t worthy of anything good.

That was how she felt until she gave birth and realized the pain made her want to be selfish for once.

She wanted to have a good family with Gale and Sol. She wanted to see her son grow to be a valiant hero just like her father, and she wanted to grow old with Gale.

’And if I want to have all those, I need to fight for it, right?’ Swan told herself. ’Then what are you doing right now, Swan? Why are you still relying on your mother and aunt who obviously will not help you? This is your battle, and you have to descend to the earth realm to save your husband.’

Swan suddenly stopped crying. She closed her eyes and prayed to herself. She didn’t pray to the Goddess of the Sun or Moon.

She prayed to herself that she could do everything as long as she could protect her family.

"I will be the light that guides the path for the forlorn, and for the weak," Swan murmured as her body began to glow in radiant light. Selene and Asmara tried to tighten the rope, but they found themselves unable to do so as the entire Goddess realm began to shake as if Swan had become the center of the earthquake. The radiant light began to glow intensely, making it difficult for both the Sun and Moon Goddesses to look at their little Swan.

"And I shall help whom I want to help. Nobody will dare to stand against me!"

Swan opened her eyes and created an explosion around her that pushed both Selene and Asmara away.

"Ahh!"

"Ugh!"

Selene and Asmara tried to recover but found themselves unable to see anything as the entire Goddess realm had been surrounded by light that was as bright and hot as the center of the sun.

The light gradually disappeared, but the moment they could finally see again, Swan was nowhere to be seen.

Asmara and Selene rushed to the pond and saw their beloved little Swan descend to earth to help her husband.
