Chapter 1081: Baradiel’s Proposal
Ethan took a deep breath to rein in his anger and once again stared at the horizon.
"Nothing's changed," Ethan said after he regained his composure. "I don't care about what Ashmedai and the rest say. I will do what I have to do."
Baradiel nodded. "Right now, you can only rely on your strength and the strength of your allies. However, I have a proposal for you. If you agree, I will also lend you my strength."
Ethan, who needed all the help he could get, glanced at the Progenitor, who temporarily borrowed the body of his lover.
"What is it?" Ethan asked. "If it is within my capacity, then I will agree."
"Don't worry. It's certainly within your capacity," Baradiel replied with confidence. "But you might not like it."
The Progenitor of Primordial Ice then leaned on the railing of the Flying Ship and stared at Ethan.
"As you already know, Nicole and I are not really compatible," Baradiel said. "Right now, her life is no longer in danger because you transferred a few years of your lifespan to her.
"Once I leave her body, she will start to recover the remainder of her lifespan and be able to live her life as she originally wanted. However, in order to do that, I will need to find a vessel first... and that is where you come to play."
Ethan frowned and made a guess. "You want me to become your vessel?"
Baradiel shook her head. "A tempting offer, but I am not interested. What I need is a new body that will perfectly fit me like a glove and allow me a rebirth of sorts."
The young man was currently in the right state of mind to ponder what Baradiel was hinting at.
Since that was the case, he simply asked Baradiel to tell him straight what she needed from him.
"I already told you that I need a new vessel that will fit me like a glove," Baradiel stated. "There is only one way to do that, and that is for Nicole to give birth to me."
Ethan blinked once then twice before finally realizing what the Primordial Progenitor was trying to tell him.
"You want to become Nicole's baby?" Ethan looked at Baradiel in shock. "Our baby?"
Since he and Nicole had already confessed their feelings for each other, becoming a family was already a done deal.
They would just need to wait a year or two before Ethan could marry his lovers and start a family together.
"That's right," Baradiel nodded. "Since I've been with Nicole since she was young, I can easily adapt to her body. With your bloodline's help, my power's current incompatibility will not become a problem in my new vessel.
"If you agree to help me, I will not hesitate to go all out and help you save your wife. Although I can't fight for a long time, I am confident that I can handle two to three Progenitors on my own."@@@@
Ethan looked at Baradiel with a conflicted gaze.
On one hand, having her help would increase his chances of saving Lily.
However, in exchange, this meant that his first born with Nicole would be the Progenitor of Primordial Ice.
"Does Nicole know about this?" Ethan inquired.
"Do you have any idea what it feels like when someone constantly talks to you inside of your
head?" Nicole asked.
"I do," Ethan replied.
"Y-You do?"
"Mmm. It's a bit complicated."
In fact, he didn't only have one person talking to him all the time.
He had two of them.
Even now, Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half were chuckling inside his Sea of Consciousness, saying things like "Oh girl, if you only knew," and "Ethan is already used to it, Nicole."
Nicole looked at the handsome young man and realized that he wasn't lying to her.
"You sure have a lot of secrets, Ethan," Nicole said as her hands moved to playfully rub his chest and lower abdomen. "It makes me want to take your clothes off and dig them out one by one until you have nothing to hide."
'Girl, don't threaten Ethan with a good time.' Sebastian crossed his arms over his chest.
'Oh, you sweet summer child. I bet that Ethan will get her undressed faster than she can
undress him,' Ethan's Other Half smirked.
The two then chuckled at the same time, clearly enjoying Nicole's playfulness.
"So, what do you think, Papa?" Nicole asked in a teasing tone. "Are we going to do it, so
Baradiel will help you save Lily?"
"Okay," Ethan replied. "But wait until we get to Atlantis."
The young man planted a kiss on Nicole's forehead because he still needed time to prepare his
heart for this undertaking.
Although it sounded simple on the surface, Ethan had some reservations about it.
But he was sure that when it was time for him to rescue his wife, he would need Baradiel's help to increase his chances of success.
Also, he understood that letting Baradiel stay inside Nicole's body would be detrimental in
the long run.
There might not be any problems in the short term, but things would likely become difficult
in the next three to five years.
If giving birth to her would solve all of these problems, then Ethan wouldn't mind letting the Progenitor of Primordial Ice call him Daddy.
