Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 256: The Day of the Decisive Battle
Natan practiced until sweating all over her body, then she walked towards the shade tree where her children who started from Jiang Shuya waited. As for Xia Feiya to Ling Wei, they entered the Dungeon Tower, and he was not worried about their safety, as there was Xia Feiya with Level 1,180.
"Father tired?" Xiaoai stood up to Natan with a warm towel.
Natan took the towel from Xiaoai's hand, she smiled and replied, "All tired Daddy will be treated with Xiaoai's smile."
"Then, Xiaoai will continue to smile for Father!"
"What about Hannah?" Hannah's coming.
Natan rubs Hannah's head and replies, "Sure, Hannah's smile is so sweet, Dad likes it."
Shuya, Celine and Orla come, they smile.
Natan knew what they wanted, he rubbed their heads and gave kisses on the forehead in turn.
"My husband is monopolized by children, I'm jealous." Calista slightly complained as she came over to Natan. "Little angel, can you take turns with Mom?"
Xiaoai turned his head, he shook his head and said, "Can't, Miss Lista was already with Dad last night."
Hannah nodded and added, "Right! Ibu Lista and I sleep with Dad, we also want Dad to sleep with us and read a fairy tale before going to bed!"
Celine nodded her head, she was also dissatisfied with her own sleep policy after the age of over two. "That's right! Dad is the girl's first love, and we rarely sleep with Dad! Celine wants to hear me read a fairy tale!"
Natan laughed out loud looking at the nagging children, then he saw Verdi who was holding a wooden sword and trying to swing it. "Verdi needs help?"
"Dad." Verdi looked up, then nodded. "Yes, Verdi wanted to be like Brother Charles wearing two swords, but it was hard."
Natan smiled, she pinched Verdi's cheek gently. "Why not like Dad? The right hand wears a sword, and the left hand wears a gun. Your right hand is strong, it matches the sword, and your left hand is less flexible, Verdi is also highly accurate, so it's better to use a different weapon like Dad."
"Gun?" Verdi tilted his head not understanding.
Natan took out the gun without recoil, as it did not use conventional ammunition, but rather Magic Stones. "Look, just need to press down on this part, and a light-shaped attack comes out." He modeled it by opening fire on a wooden doll.
The wooden puppet as an archery target, suddenly made a hole in the middle of his chest due to the bullet shot from Mana.
Verdi looked at the gun with sparkling eyes. He extended both his hands. "Dad ..."
"Darling, don't play with a gun in front of the kids." Vely pulled on Nathan's ear gently.
Verdi pulled the end of Vely's shirt. "Mother, don't hurt Dad."
Vely pulled out his hand, then patted Verdi on the head. "Mom didn't hurt Dad, I just stroked him. But, the weapon that Dad held was very dangerous, and Verdi was a child, I don't want Verdi to get hurt."
Verdi looked at the hollow wooden doll in the middle of the chest, and he realized that it was very dangerous, but, he wanted it very much.
Nathan takes out another gun and puts it in Verdi's hand. "Dad had another one, the bullet was a rubber bullet, and the firepower was only 1 in 1,000. Although it hit the body, it doesn't hurt very much, but, I don't want Verdi to attack people."
Verdi grasped the gun, caught a glimpse of it and there was no difference with the gun, except the color of the front was sky blue. "Verdi promised not to attack people, but if people attacked Verdi first, as Brother Fefei said, Verdi would have to retaliate!"
Natan was speechless with a bit of surprise, but she did not say anything, she just smiled and rubbed Verdi's head.
—30 Days Later—
Alexander's family gathered in the courtyard of the Alexander Family Residence. The party held in the courtyard looked extremely luxurious, everyone was full of laughter, but it was only on the surface, for those who knew or whose level was within the Top 1,000 Player, there were worries and unwillingness.
Nathan sat on a chair with his head turned to look at the night sky with shining stars. He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
He was about to stand up, but suddenly lowered his head because someone touched his thigh. He looked at Xiaoai who was trying to climb up to sit on his lap. She smiled, she lifted Xiaoai up and held him so as not to fall off her lap.
"Xiaoai was already taller, not feeling nearly five years old. I want Xiaoai to stay small forever, and funny while talking."
Xiaoai looked up at his father's face and said, "Xiaoai also wants to be like that, want to be small forever so as not to have to work like Brother Fefei and Brother Charles. Xiaoai wanted to keep playing!" He raised his right hand as high as possible which was holding ice cream.
Natan rubbed Xiaoai's head gently and said, "Even when Xiaoai is big, Xiaoai doesn't need to work. Father can meet all Xiaoai expenses, Xiaoai can play, as long as it is still to a reasonable limit."
Natan continued wiping Xiaoai's head, but he did not get any reply from Xiaoai, not even any movement at all.
"Dear."
Natan turned her head, she looked at Calista who was looking at her with a worried expression. He looked around, some people stopped moving, even the flames burning in the middle of the courtyard stopped, as if time had been frozen.
"Today really came." Natan lifted Xiaoai from his lap, then sat him down again on the chair gently. He looked at Xiaoai's still smiling face, but he could faintly see there was sadness in his eyes.
"When time stops, maybe Xiaoai is aware that we're going to leave him for a while." Natan rubbed Xiaoai's cheek, then she lowered her head. "You know, I really don't want to go, I want to be with the kids, I don't want to fight anymore. I'm sick of it, I just want to relax, watch the kids' development, see them cry, laugh, happy, happy and all that."
Natan took a deep breath, she looked up again, revealing her red, teary eyes. "Dad go first." He kissed Xiaoai's cheeks and forehead.
Later, Natan did the same for all her children except Xia Feiya.
Glenda sighed full of emotion upon seeing her grandson like this. He himself also did not expect that he would join the fight against the Monster Ancestors.
Nathan took the water, he washed his face to cover his cries. "Time stops, meaning that this battle will be very long, a few days, weeks, months, or even years. Stopping time, this does not make sense, but logic is no longer useful ..."
"It must be admitted, stopping time is the right step. If the battle goes on for years and time goes on, I don't know how children live alone. Let me experience it, I don't want them to experience the same thing I've experienced."
In the past two years, Natan has spent all his time with the children, even reducing his time with his wives. Especially the past two months, he had very rarely slept with his wife, he had always slept in a spacious room, slept on the floor with the children and recited fairy tales before going to bed.
Sing!
When Natan was still pondering, suddenly there was a sizzling sound coming from some places. He looked up, he saw the white light that appeared in front of him forming a vortex. This light not only appeared in front of him, but also in everyone who was unaffected by the cessation of time.
Natan was silent for a while, he turned around, looking at his children who were sitting or standing next to each other without moving like a statue there. "Dad go first."
Natan sighed, then she turned around and entered the light portal in front of her.
