Chapter 82: Uncertainty In Difficult Situations, Quantum Mechanics [3K]

When it came to matters concerning her child, Naya could no longer joke around with the System. She took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and prepared herself for the pressure.

[You can go ahead, System. What is it?]

[With the further growth of the baby in your belly, I can analyzed the fetus’s condition from the increasingly active energy. Your belly…]

[What about my belly? Hurry up and tell me! I’m about to lose my mind, are you trying to be like Leo? He’s already turned to dust.]

The mindset she had just adjusted was instantly thrown into chaos, causing her blood pressure to spike.

[The baby in your belly might not be fraternal twins.]

[Well, identical twins wouldn’t be too strange, right?]

Naya sighed in relief, but it wasn’t complete.

[It might even not be twins at all.]

[What?!]

[But the soul energy is indeed doubled. Host, there are two souls in you, but only one egg. They are fighting over the ownership of the forming body, releasing energy to try to kill or devour each other.]

After hearing the System’s explanation, Naya felt dizzy.

Her body leaned back.

With a thud, she collided with the bed frame, and a dull pain throbbed at the back of her head. However, Naya didn’t care about the pain anymore, her mind buzzed with the System’s words.

[Wait, twins?]

Naya clutched her belly, her gaze unfocused.

[No, Host. Strictly speaking, it counts as twins, it’s just that there’s only one body. This isn’t schizophrenia, there are indeed two different souls fighting. I can sense the energy they release during their battle very clearly.]

[So, Illya and Iris weren’t mistaken, they could indeed sense the two soul energies.]

[I think so.]

[Why is this happening?]

[I believe it’s due to the royal bloodline. Normally, a Dragon King awakens the Dragon King bloodline through the inheritance of the throne, gaining a significant boost in power. However, judging from the current situation, Illya has had the Dragon King bloodline from the moment she was born and doesn’t need an additional awakening. Thus, it can be further inferred that the baby in your body is also of Dragon King caliber, requiring no bloodline awakening.]

[Is that so? What can the Dragon King bloodline influence?]

[Dragon Kings are rather enigmatic beings, their powers are mysterious and can directly disrupt the balance of this world. You heard Iris mention yesterday that after her royal blood awakened, she dreamed of the Silver Dragon Loli whose powers had side effects. Therefore, the newly born Dragon King within you also possesses strange abilities, and it wouldn’t be surprising if there were some odd side effects.]

[So, what are their abilities?]

[It’s still not clear yet. Even Illya’s current abilities are cannot be judged yet, let alone the baby that hasn’t been born yet. However, their current situation is very concerning. As they grow little by little, their need for energy increases rapidly. To make their souls more complete and powerful, their conflict will intensify until one day, one side gains the upper hand and devours the other.]

Naya raised her hand to cover her face.

Holding back tears that threatened to spill from her eyes.

[Host, don’t cry. There’s still a way to keep them both safe.]

[What way?!]

Naya wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she was willing to do anything to prevent them from fighting.

[Do you remember the Earth Veins’ energy space where your castle was located?]

[Yeah!]

Of course, she remembered. They had moved out less than a month ago, how could she forget? That place was their paradise.

[The reason they are engaged in an endless struggle is due to their instinct to devour energy to allow their souls to grow. Therefore, it can be inferred that if they are fed enough energy, enough to the point they can’t eat anymore, they won’t fight.]

[How do we feed them? If I eat more, can it provide them with energy?]

[If you eat more, what you provide is physical energy, not soul energy. We need Earth Veins’ energy, they can consume that.]

Again with the energy of the Earth Veins!

In short, when in doubt, rely on the energy of the Earth Veins.

The System continued speaking in her consciousness.

[Of course, just feeding them may not stop their fighting. They might still kill each other over the ownership of the body. Therefore, to avoid the worst-case scenario, we can use Earth Veins’ energy to create a folded space, similar to the space of the castle and the palace, so that even if they are in the same area, they cannot sense each other’s presence. This way, they will think the other has been eliminated and won’t continue to fight.]

[Can… can that really work?]

[It can. This System exists for energy of the Earth Veins. As long as there is enough energy of the Earth Veins, anything is possible.]

[That’s great.]

For the first time, the System made her feel so at ease.

[Thank you, System.]

Naya sniffled, and the tears stopped flowing from her eyes.

In this other world, souls truly existed and could be observed.

Iris’s life sense could do that, the night she caught Leo, Iris had caught Leo’s astral soul with her bare hands.

The birth of a life involves the growth of the soul and the emergence of the body.

Generally, the soul and body are inseparable. The body is the medium and vessel through which the soul interacts with this world.

A new soul is not a reincarnation of someone else.

Instead, it is a conscious entity that is born and grows together with the body.

Therefore, killing one of the souls is akin to an abortion.

[Since the System can help with everything, can you create another body so they can each be a dragon?]

[That’s a matter for later. For now, focus on preserving their souls! Don’t rush, you can’t get fat in one bite.]

[I… I understand.]

Naya’s taut nerves finally relaxed.

In the end, becoming someone else’s wife still required seeking energy of the Earth Veins.

Is this fate?

Naya caressed her belly.

She tilted her head back, staring at the white ceiling.
