Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 162

"Aria... is your aunt?" Aurora repeated with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yes..."

"Like... What do you mean by that? Is this a roleplay you are playing, or do you mean it...? And how... why didn’t you realize it until now?" Aurora asked. "You met her a long time ago in her domain or something, right?"

"First of all, I had never seen her before in my life. Second of all, I had only heard of her in the stories, and you know that the stories are always exaggerated, right?" Zach scoffed.

"Well, yeah..." Aurora nodded.

"But in Aria’s case, her stories were understated. She is much more than the stories. However, that wasn’t the reason I didn’t recognize her. I mean, how was I supposed to know it was my mother’s sister. Besides, our first meeting was... disastrous," Zach sighed.

"Okay, so putting all that aside. When did you realize she might be your aunt?" Aurora asked curiously.

"Around the time we went to the Sea Realm," Zach replied honestly.

"Does she know about this?"

Zach shook his head in response.

Aurora pondered for a while and then squinted her eyes at Zach before asking, "So why are you telling me this?"

"I tried to tell her, but she got furious even before I could mention it. So I think I won’t be telling her anytime soon," Zach sighed with a groan.

Zach wanted to tell Aria, but upon looking at Aria’s face last night, Zach decided not to tell her, especially when they both were slowly getting together.

They still had a thin wall between them, but by breaking it, they would have created a larger and thicker wall between them.

"Say...." Aurora looked into Zach’s eyes and asked, "Do you love her?"

"I... am not sure. But I don’t hate her. And we have many other relationships, so I think it’s... complicated."

"If you actually love her and start your relationship with her... it will turn into an incestuous relationship, right?" Aurora asked with a judging look on her face.

"Not exactly, and I am not worried about that." Zach counted something on his finger and then said, "There are so many things that debunk that idea."

"Like?"

"Aria and Erza were created by higher gods using magic. And even their magic was totally opposite of each other. My mother was the goddess of umm... life and prosperity, while Aria was the goddess of death and destruction," Zach stated.

"And they were created with one goal. They weren’t born. They didn’t have childhood or anything. They were created as adults, only to serve the higher gods and do something to make them happy."

"So in other words...." Aurora rolled her eyes and said, "They are not blood-related?"

"Well, they are magic-related, but that’s not the point I am trying to prove." Zach inserted his finger in Aurora’s mouth because she kept interrupting him.

"You see, mom was obviously favored more by the humans. And Aria was hated because of obvious reasons. Even though she didn’t do anything wrong, she was simply doing her job, and it wasn’t as though she enjoyed doing her job."

"My mother once told me about how Aria forced herself into a deep slumber so she wouldn’t wake up again. But that didn’t work because if death and destruction stopped in the world, life and prosperity would end up destroying the world."

Zach played with Aurora’s tongue as he continued, "The only way to go in slumber was if both of them went into slumber. But unlike mom, who used to hear nice things about her in her sleep, Aria always heard people cursing and blaming her for everything."

"You see, humans are like that. They make their life choices for their own lives, but they blame her if something bad happens. But Aria also blamed herself, and she was tired of it. She thought she would be able to get peace at least when she was in slumber, but that didn’t work."

"That’s.... Horrible...." Aurora uttered in an awkward manner because Zach’s finger was still in her mouth.

It was both surprising and weird to see Aurora and Zach have a serious conversation while playing with each other’s bodies naked in the bathtub.

Aurora was stroking Zach’s snake while Zach was squeezing and playing with Aurora’s breast with one hand and her tongue with another.

"But no one is to blame here," Zach continued. "We can’t blame humans since they can’t fathom the idea of destruction. It spreads terror and takes countless lives."

"..."

"So in the end, even the two Goddesses were unhappy with their existence," Zach scoffed softly. "You know, mother always mumbled about this under her breath and said, ’Maybe everything happened for good?’"

"What...?"

"If they weren’t exiled from the heavens, they wouldn’t have parted ways. My mother was killed by humans, you know?"

"....!"

"Don’t worry. She reincarnated. But if she had gone back to Aria, they would have been complete again." Zach kissed Aurora on the nape and continued, "This world... this universe is built with a balance, and it needs to maintain that balance. One way or another, otherwise, everything would collapse."

"I don’t understand what you are trying to say..."

"Without evil, one wouldn’t realize the meaning and the importance of kindness. Evil is needed, but no one wants it," Zach asserted in a solemn voice.

"But what does that have to do with your mother and Aria suffering for no reason?"

"I don’t know," Zach shrugged and muttered, "It’s better if we don’t get too deep into it. Or the rights might look wrong, and the wrongs might seem right."

"So, in short, your mother didn’t go back to Aria after being reincarnated because had she met her, they would have been completed again, and Aria’s suffering would have continued for eternity?"

"Pretty much," Zach nodded. "Mom must have thought it would be better to let Aria suffer a little to save her from the greater suffering."
