The huge sense of oppression brought by Erda was no weaker than the image that Suoshiyang had transformed into in anger the last time he saw the mortal. It was even stronger, but Suoshiyang still sat on the ground, watching fearlessly.
The angry goddess.
"Ms. Erda, I respect you because you are the emperor's wife and the mother of the original body. But right is right and wrong is wrong. Your impulse once led to a huge tragedy. I hope you can understand.
Love does not mean blindness, and love does not mean indulgence. Li is doing something wrong. He is entering a dangerous chess game, which may very well make him doomed... I believe he still listens to you, so I hope you can
Please advise him that I can forget about the past."
Erda's eyes flashed slightly, and suddenly returned to their original appearance, and the dolls started to have fun again.
She nodded, and her tone suddenly became very gentle again.
"When he comes back, he will convince Xiao Er that the relationship between the two of them is very good, and all this will not be a problem."
The person in Erda's mouth should be referring to Xerxes, Soshyan narrowed his eyes.
"Ms. Erda, do you think Xerxes and Li have a good relationship?"
"I am his mother, I know him and them better than you."
"What about the other Primarchs?"
"They will build a new empire around their brother, greater than the decaying wights now."
"Around? So you think Xerxes should... become the new emperor?"
"There is no need for that old dog or donkey to continue to stay in the mortal world. It will only cause endless troubles. Just leave the empire to the children."
Erda said it very easily, but Soshyan's heart had already hit rock bottom.
"So, Ms. Erda, in your mind, the empire belongs to Xerxes, right?"
"Isn't that what it should be?"
"So, you have never regarded other primarchs, including Li, as real children. Your child has always been Xerxes, or Manic in your mouth... You think you understand
Li, then Li must know you very well, wouldn’t he be able to feel it?”
Erda, who was poked by Soshyan, hummed softly, flicked her sleeves, picked up a piece of candy from the gold plate held by the doll on the side, then covered her face with her sleeves and stuffed it into her mouth, as if to relieve her inner unhappiness.
Soshyan sighed softly.
"Ms. Erda, are you so sure that Xerxes...will definitely come back?"
"certainly."
Erda smiled again and looked very sincere.
"You are in front of me, and he is also in front of me. I am talking to you as well as to him."
Soshi raised his eyebrows and replied calmly:
"I'm not him."
"why?"
"I am me, Soshyan Alexei. Xerxes' consciousness may exist in my consciousness now, but it does not mean that I am him. I have my own experience, my own parents, myself
lover."
Erda's face once again showed the disapproving expression that Soshyan saw and disliked very much.
"This is not a problem, it's just memory. When a person has all the memories of another person, what is the difference between him and that person?"
"Yes, there must be."
Soshyan said it very categorically.
"If I become Xerxes, where is my wife?"
As a result, what Erda said almost made Soshyan stand up.
"This is not a problem. Since the two of you are already one, then Veronica is naturally his wife, and so is Velez...including their children, who are naturally his children."
"Are you crazy!"
Soshyan's fist hit the ground hard, anger crawling onto his face.
"It's me they love! Not Xerxes!"
But Erda still had that irritating smile.
"Yes, they love you, but when there is no difference between you and him, their love will not change."
Soshyan looked at Erda. If he had a weapon in his hand at this moment, he would probably be able to chop her down, but he was still trying to restrain himself, no matter how disgusting she was.
"So...you manipulated Velez to come to me, not for her, but for your son...Elena is still alive, you know? She is Xerxes' wife."
Hearing Elena's name, Erda sighed and shook her head.
"Some of her actions disappoint me. She is no longer worthy... Maybe it was right to let her die in the first place. This was a mistake made by my kindness."
"you!"
Soshyan stretched out his hand and pointed at each other with his fingers together.
"Erda, there is no difference between you and the Emperor! You two are truly a match made in heaven!"
Erda still had that calm expression and said warmly:
"Don't be excited, Soshyan. I also regard you as my child. You still can't understand my painstaking efforts, so I don't blame you. You just need to remember to stay away from that old dog and donkey."
Soshiyang took a few deep breaths, and then forced himself to calm down. There was no point in blaming or cursing the other party now. The most important thing now was to get as much useful information as possible from the other party.
So he sat down again and said coldly:
"Ms. Erda, since you keep saying you love Xerxes, why did you throw him to Ctesiphon? I once saw a painting called the God of Food in Mortals. Is it consistent with that prophecy?
Related? For example...Makado believes that the child who overthrew the God King will be the child hidden by his mother."
Hearing Soshyan mention this issue, Erda's face darkened. After a while, she pursed her lips and said softly:
"It was not like this at first... After giving birth to Xerxes, I told him that we no longer need the Primarch. Warriors made with our children as genetic blueprints can also conquer the star sea - I thought he would be so
I did, but I underestimated His stubbornness. As the Primarchs were created, I showed Him how dangerous they were. They were not as pure as Xerxes. They were not even human. I told Him that He should be killed.
These creatures, but a part of Him must still have feelings for them."
Hearing this, Soshyan was really speechless. This Erda kept talking about how much he loved the Primarchs, but at the same time he encouraged the Emperor to kill all the Primarchs, leaving only his parents and children.
Soshyan couldn't help but wonder if she was really a sane person at that time? Or was there some kind of disease in her mind after giving birth to Xerxes?
"Even so, I am still trying to adapt to my role as the mother of the original body. At His request, I put Xerxes and those brothers together. I am studying and thinking about how to educate them and how to shape them in their short childhood.
Let them become generals, scholars, and ministers who serve the king in the future...and how to assist their father and elder brother."
Soshyan couldn't help but cursed. If this were the case, it would probably be the cause of another great rebellion. When the originals knew the gap between their created selves and their biological brothers, the outcome would probably be like countless power struggles in human history.
