Chapter 220: The Birth Of The Legend (Kai's Past Arc 1)

"Why is the baby silent? Aren't children supposed to cry when they are born?" A woman with silky white hair and glowing purple eyes asked as a man who was holding a baby in his hand.

The man's figure wasn't too bulky and he had pure red eyes without any white in them. This was expected since the man was a demon.

In his hands was a small baby whose body was wrapped around with a white silk blanket. The baby was a newborn who had been born a few minutes ago and yet was completely calm.

The baby was a male as he pulled at the man's face with his hands. The man smiled and didn't stop the baby as he passed the baby to the woman.

She lovingly held him in her embrace as she kissed his forehead slowly. The baby smiled as his eyes darted from the woman to the man and he looked curious.

"He has your eyes." The man commented as the woman gave him a smug smile.

"I told you that he would have my eyes. Archangels know everything." The woman replied as the man made a tch noise.

"Will he have our wings though?' The man asked as the woman fell silent.

"So much for an all-knowing person." The man muttered under his breath yet the woman still heard him.

"Angels are born with their wings out and their eyes glowing. He has the glowing eyes but I don't know about the wings." The woman said as the man sighed.

"Maybe his wings will come out if we release our wings." The man suggested as the woman nodded and slowly stood up.

But she stumbled as the man moved forward and caught her before she could fall. The woman smiled as she stood without the man's support for a while and then took a deep breath as two white wings burst forth from under her clothes.

The wings came out from below her shoulders and were magnificent. They were pure white in color and were made from numerous small feathers. They came out horizontally as a few feathers dropped on the ground below.

The woman's eyes then started glowing as her pupils turned into cross-shaped pupils. They glowed brightly as the baby suddenly went silent. The woman then turned the baby so that he could look at the man.

Two dark purple wings burst from the man's behind as they vertically went behind him. His eyes still remained the same the nothing happened to the baby. Both the man and the woman sighed as their wings disappeared and they sat on the bed. The woman placed the baby down on the bed.

"Maybe he doesn't have wings since our powers merged or maybe we are just having too high expectations. I mean he is barely an hour old." The man said as the woman nodded.

The baby suddenly made a whooping noise as the man and the woman turned their heads to look at the baby who was hovering in the air. A pair of black purple and a pair of pure white wings were visible behind the bay but they were barely three inches long.

But the most surprising thing were the baby's eyes. One of his eyes was pure purple in color while the other one was glowing with a cross-shaped pupil. The two people went silent when they saw this.

"A true demon and an archangel." The man muttered slowly as the lights suddenly went out. The entire place started to shake badly as cracks ran against the wall. The man and woman frowned as this was no normal earthquake or anything like that.

The woman grabbed the baby tightly to her chest as both she and the man released their cultivation at once. Their cultivation soared above the soul divinity realm and surpassed it as they sensed the presence of a being outside their house.

The walls suddenly crumbled down and got sucked outside as the two people saw a moving storm of black material that destroyed everything that came in its way. 

"What is this thing?!" The man cursed as the woman's expression hardened.

Both of them didn't know this but the moving storm of dark matter was actually the Darkness.

But before either of them could do anything. The Darkness started pulling the two people and the baby along with them. The man and woman spread out their wings and tried to fly away but it was useless.

"What did we do wrong?" The man asked as he went near his wife and the two of them locked their hands together as they moved forward. Their baby was tightly squeezed in between them as their wings shielded him.

But a golden aura suddenly surrounded the baby as its eyes closed and he fell asleep.

"Do you want to save your child?" A voice suddenly echoed inside their heads as they looked around in bewilderment but saw no one.

"Who are you?!" The woman shouted as the Darkness's rumbling was muffling their voices but she didn't know that the other person could clearly hear her.

"Who I am isn't important. The important question is whether you want to save your child or not? It will cost you your life?" The voice asked as the two people exchanged glances and smiled sadly.

"We have lived for a long time and we do want to spend time with our child. But if this thing would kill all three of us. Then it's better to save our child even if we die since that's going to happen anyway." The man replied as the glow around the baby intensified.

"He will have to face many hardships and will hardly live a normal life. But he is your child as well as my descendants so he would easily counter him." The voice replied as the two people exchanged another glance but didn't say anything.

Another huge rumble went inside the Darkness as the voice asked one last question.

"What's the baby's name?" The voice asked as the two people smiled one last time as they looked at the baby.

"His name is Kai." They said at the same time as the baby vanished.
