Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 324: Garden of Eden

Swan’s smile vanished instantly. She used her power to lift her husband, so he wouldn’t be affected by the earthquake. However, the other beastmen were scrambling around, trying to avoid the fissures created by the earthquake.

Another explosion happened, and the lava spouted from the earth’s core once more.

The wind started to blow heavily, followed by a thunderstorm that suddenly came out of nowhere.

The situation was in complete chaos, and the beastmen were trying their best to avoid getting killed in one way or another.

Only Rock and Blaze Silverfang remained in their kneeling position, staring at their Princess with fervent devotion in their eyes. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Do you know what is happening, Sweetheart?" Gale asked.

"Yes," Swan replied while staring at the dark clouds above. "It’s the last crystal that Aria used before she got dragged to hell. It’s a pride crystal, used as a last resort by someone with an unbearable amount of sins in her heart. It’s used to destroy this world and turn it into nothing but a deserted mess."

Gale’s lips thinned. He thought that it was all over until this happened. He saw his wife who looked serious, then to his fellow beastmen who were running about.

"Is there a way to solve this?" Gale asked calmly, but his heart began to feel restless listening to the scream of a few beastmen. He didn’t want to make his wife panic, so he added gently, "If it requires me to do something, then I will do it."

Swan turned her head to stare at her husband. She smiled at him and reached to caress his cheek, "There is, husband. But you can’t do it. Only I can."

Gale’s eyes widened. He wrapped his arms around her body tighter than before, making sure that Swan wouldn’t slip out of his embrace once more and leave him for good.

"What are you going to do, wife? Don’t tell me that you will leave me again this time," Gale asked worriedly. "I cannot live without you, you know that, right? If it’s something about sacrifice, then I will do it for you instead."

Swan chuckled, "Didn’t I tell you that I will never leave your side anymore? Husband, I am not going to make the same mistake that will hurt us both."

"With my miracle, I shall end all of this once and for all. But in exchange, I shall stay in heaven for a year to recuperate, so why don’t you take that time to rebuild our castle?" Swan giggled. "I’ll come home once the castle is ready for us, and our cub to live in."

Gale was still unwilling.

In his mind, Swan seemed like she would leave him forever and never return.

Not to mention, a day without his beloved was like torture for him. How could he bear being separated for a year?

So he shook his head and said, "I don’t want you to leave me again, Sweetheart. This is too much of a torture for me..."

Swan saw the sadness in Gale’s eyes. She smiled and opened her hand, summoning a small golden flute with a pair of angel wings engraving.

"This is a flute to summon an angel. If I don’t come home after 365 days, you can just blow this flute, and I will be at home instantly. Does that sound fair to you?"

Gale stared at the flute and asked reluctantly, "Must you do this to me again?"

"It cannot be helped, husband. I will stay in heaven, but not without reason. I want to make sure our son can control himself since he is a heaven-born. He often has explosive energy when excited, and might harm too many people in our castle. Besides, I also need to receive a bit of training to make sure I can suppress my Goddess form at will," Swan said, and right after that, another underground explosion occurred not far from the sacred lake.

Gale pursed his lips even tighter.

If he had to be honest, he truly didn’t want Swan to leave him even just for one second.

But she did her best to assure him that she would return, so he slowly let her go, and Swan gradually floated to the sky.

She kissed Gale’s lips for the last time, and then flew high, witnessing the destruction that the purple crystal made on earth.

"Even in death, you are still a very selfish woman, Aria," Swan murmured. "I will make sure that you will not have the last laugh. I will end this."

Swan intertwined her fingers together and lowered her head like a maiden who prayed. She had nobody to pray to, but she wanted to ask the keeper of the earth to calm down.

She began chanting her prayer to create a miracle, her voice echoed from the sky and everyone was frozen on the spot and looked up when they finally realized that their Goddess would protect them.

Oh keeper of the earth, heed the call from me—Swan, Goddess of Miracles.

Quench your thirst for bloodshed, lift the curse placed upon this land, and grace these creatures walking on earth with your blessing.

Heal the wounded, and swallow those which had been turned into undead, as evil shall be cleansed.

For I—Swan, Goddess of Miracles, with all my luminescence and glory, shall overturn all fate into my favor.

The earthquake, thunderstorm, whirlwind, and explosions stopped right after Swan chanted her prayer.

Swan’s body was covered with radiant light, and her wings were all spread out. As she opened her eyes, she smiled at everyone who kneeled to her, worshipping her fervently.

She opened her arms, and the radiant light from her body became the second sun, which cleansed all the undead on this continent.

She closed her eyes once more and said in a soft, yet exhausted voice.

!Garden of Eden!

Her power slowly reversed all the fissures created by the earthquake, and absorbed all the lava back to the core of the earth, as if none of these disasters ever happened in the first place.

After she reversed all the disaster, grass began to sprout, and flowers began to bloom everywhere on earth, even in this supposed autumn.

Then, all of the wounded and dying beastmen slowly recovered from their wounds, as if they never went to war in the first place. The Garden of Eden also revived the children—both beastmen and humans—from their deaths, as long as they still had their bodies intact.

Swan was truly exhausted because she just exerted amazing miracles that had never happened before. She turned the scorched earth into a garden full of beautiful flowers.

She stared at her husband, who kept staring at her without blinking, and smiled at him before her body was swallowed by the light and disappeared.

Everyone kept on kneeling and worshipping Goddess Swan while Gale was clenching the flute.

’365 days starting from today, we shall be reunited, wife.’
