Chapter 873: The Limits of Mortals

..

Facing Soria, who had said such shocking words.

Matthew was silent for a long time before he slowly shook his head.

“I’m sorry.

“I don’t want to.”

Even though it was Margaret, Matthew still found it hard to accept.

It wasn’t that he was against procreating.

After all, Matthew had lived in the Aindor Continent for many years. Under the impact of all kinds of shocking phenomena, he was already used to many things.

Under the subtle influence, he had a stronger adaptability to the relevant elements.

Mages, after all, were known for some unorthodox stuff.

But what made him reject this was the intense damage that the process of giving birth would cause to his body.

This was not just physical damage.

It’s the loss of a large number of elements

Matthew cherished his body very much.

Because he knew very well.

Even if one could reconstruct their body after entering the legendary realm, better physical fitness meant that they could obtain a higher increase in the legendary realm.

Everything he was doing now was accumulating for his advancement to Legend.

However, giving birth, which was risky and low-return behaviour, was undoubtedly contrary to this.

He couldn’t stand the slightest damage to his body.

Soria’s meaning was obvious.

She hoped that Matthew would be able to give birth to the embryo through his body. During this period, she might be able to use the reincarnation spell to inject Margaret’s soul into the embryo.

This way…

He became Margaret’s father, and Evil Queen Babasha became her mother.

As long as Soria had a way to suppress the mark of the Evil Empress in the embryo.

Then, after reincarnation, Margaret would be born as a demigod, and she would have unlimited possibilities for growth!

This was naturally the best way to deal with Margaret, who had accidentally fallen.

But that was not the case for Matthew.

At the very least, the plan proposed by Soria was not in Matthew’s own interest at all.

She saw Matthew’s determined gaze.

Soria gradually restrained her emotions and nodded slightly.

“You’re right.

“This is too unfair to you.

“It’s just that this embryo is a little too unfortunate…”

Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.

He hurriedly asked,

“Is there any way to take out the embryo without substance separation?”

Soria pondered for a while and shook his head.

” This isn’t a simple curse or corruption but a blessing from a domain ability. Although we can use other methods to offset this blessing, your body is already connected to this domain. From an outsider’s point of view, it’s difficult for us to use non-violent means to get rid of this embryo for you without causing great harm to your body.”

Soria explained,

” Other than a normal delivery, I’ve thought of three strategies.

“The first was to kill Evil Queen Babasha.

“The Domain Blessing on your body comes from the Domain Radiation of this otherworldly god.

“As long as she died.

“This problem was naturally solved.

“The second method is to transform yourself into a complete undead creature.

“Through the complete transformation of negative energy.

“You can completely overthrow the blessings of the fertility domain.

“As for the third method, it was to forcefully abort the embryo.

“I said it before.

“This embryo comes from the domain ability that you have been blessed by the Evil Empress.

“So I’m not sure if it will assume another form after we destroy it.

“Moreover, abortion is very harmful to the body.

“It’s even more harmful than normal childbirth…”

Soria’s words made Matthew frown.

He had thought that he had been corrupted or cursed by the Evil Empress.

He didn’t expect it to be a blessing…

” Can’t I give up or reject the domain of fertility and related abilities?”

Matthew asked in confusion,

” There’s another question. If this blessing is continuous, is it anchored to my body or my soul?”

Soria muttered,

” The moment the blessing took effect, you might have had the chance to give up or reject it. However, it’s obvious that Evil Queen Babasha’s methods are very strange. You didn’t manage to seize that only window of opportunity.

” According to my current observation, it’s very difficult for you to get rid of this ability for the time being.

“As for the second question… To be honest, I’m not too sure either. Babasha came from another world. Even though her domain overlapped with Aindor’s, there are still many illogical aspects. If you want to understand this question, I’m afraid you’ll have to do an experiment with your soul leaving your body.”

Matthew nodded lightly.

He actually thought so too.

Soria looked at him curiously.

“Do you have any ideas?”

Matthew smiled bitterly.

“I just have some strange thoughts.

“If this ability is bound to my physical body, then can my soul be directly projected onto this embryo and snatch the ownership of the embryo from the mark of the Evil Empress?

” Once I succeed, I’ll be able to give birth to myself. At the same time, I’ll be able to have a demigod embryo full of divinity as a clone. In theory, it’s possible, right?”

Soria was stunned.

She stared at Matthew up and down a few times, then couldn’t help but bite her index finger.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with what you said.

“In the end, the Evil Empress’s influence on this embryo is only so-so. If you’re really prepared, it’s not impossible for you to replace her.

“From your personal point of view, this is indeed the way to maximize the benefits.”
