Chapter 189 – Bipolar Love and poison

In another room, Zara sat in front of Morgan—her mother.

She was chained. Her heart was now back in her chest. And she stared at Zara with fury blazing in her eyes.

“Do you think looking at me like that will change anything?” Zara sneered.

There was no respect in her voice. Not even a shred of it.

Because right now, she wasn’t the same little girl who used to beg for a sliver of attention.

She didn’t need that anymore.

Not when she was a Vaelgrim.

Adored. Revered. Almost worshipped across the world.

And as she sat there—remembering all the love she had now, all the power, and her new family—and looked at the woman who abandoned her, she couldn’t help but smirk.

“Tell me… do you regret it, mother? Do you regret never giving me even a little bit of love?” She asked with a mocking smile.

“Love that could’ve saved you from this?”

She paused, tilted her head.

“…Why am I even calling you ‘mother’? You’re not worthy of that, right… Morgan?”

Her voice was cold. Cruel.

It was spoken to hurt.

And it did. It cut deep.

Morgan wasn’t the type to regret her actions. She always stood by her choices and moved on.

But this?

This stung.

Because this wasn’t just a consequence. This was a cosmic slap in the face.

Zara might not know it yet, but to lead a whole world?

That’s insane.

To have an entire world under your feet… to bend its resources, its laws, its faith, its atmosphere to your will…

That’s a privilege most people would kill for.

And it was also a direct path toward the realm behind the Supreme Rank.

For Zara and the Vaelgrim Family to already have this—something even Morgan’s clan didn’t have—was a colossal advantage.

And knowing the one who held it… was the daughter she threw away like garbage?

Yes.

She regretted it, deeply.

But—

“Regret won’t change anything, Morgan,” Zara said, her eyes flashing. Her green pupils shifted into a soft but terrifying red.

“I even thought that being Noah’s maid was too kind of a punishment for you. You’re not even worthy of that.”

“But be grateful,” she continued coldly, “because I’m not as cruel as you. Otherwise you’d be dead by now, bitch.”

She spit the word like venom before rising and turning away.

But Morgan’s voice stopped her.

“Did you not want to know… why I was in this world? Why I wanted Beelzebuth’s talent? And how I even obtained it?”

She paused again, slower this time.

“Don’t you want to know what your origin is… your vampiric origin?”

Zara froze.

She stood there for a while, saying nothing.

Then slowly… she turned her head.

Her eyes softened. Turned green again. Peaceful and calm.

“Oh… right. I need that information to report to my husband,” Zara said with a sweet voice.

And Morgan instinctively shuddered.

Because she just realized something.

‘She’s fucking bipolar!’

Truly…

This mother-daughter duo might just become our favorite.

Right?

…

Meanwhile, in another room—

“What a curious woman,” Noah said as he looked down at the sleeping Katy.

Well, not exactly sleeping.

Her heart wasn’t beating. Her mind wasn’t responding. Her soul wasn’t active.

It was as if… time itself had stopped inside her.

“All this… done by poison?” Noah muttered, eyes gleaming with interest. “Crazy.”

He really meant it.

Because this was fascinating. A poison that didn’t kill—but froze everything. Heart, soul, mind all of them locked away.

How interesting.

And poison affinity was something he didn’t have yet.

“Ah… there’s so much to acquire. So much to plunder. So much to dominate. So much to master…”

Noah’s smile widened.

His body trembled slightly—excitement boiling in his veins.

This… this was what he craved.

To acquire again and again until there was nothing left to acquire.

To dominate again and again until there was nothing left to dominate.

And while doing so?

To raise his women and family to such a level that just hearing the name Vaelgrim would make the entire universe tremble.

That was his goal.

And for that—

“I have to explore this universe and plunder everything in my way.”

Resources. Artifacts. Treasures. Bloodlines. Affinities. Talents. Even entire worlds.

And, of course—

Women.

But only the worthy ones. Only the ones his women approved of.

Still, he couldn’t wait.

He finally composed himself and walked toward Katy.

Domy and Ray had explained her situation—and asked him to save her.

To free her from the divine soul sealed within.

“I would’ve asked Elira to handle this… but she seems hell-bent on making that dragon suffer. I wonder what he said to make my sweet Soul Elysiari this angry?”

Noah said absentmindedly.

Luckily for everyone, he didn’t know.

Because if he did—he might’ve marched into the Dragon World and wiped out Honk’s entire bloodline in one go…well proved he was able to do that.

Noah placed his hand gently on Katy’s head.

Then closed his eyes, focusing.

It didn’t take long to find the soul inside her.

It was… blinding.

Obvious.

It wasn’t like anything he’d ever seen before. It wasn’t just large or powerful—it was…

“Divine?”

Yeah.

That felt like the right word.

And for something Noah himself was calling divine, he had no choice but to use every ounce of his soul manipulation mastery to pull it out.

He focused hard.

It was a slow process.

But after a few minutes, Noah managed to extract the divine soul from Katy’s body.

The moment it left—since the poison was only inside Katy, not outside—the soul began to awaken.

“Where is this?” a deep voice echoed. The voice was male one, calm and confused—but not afraid.

The soul began to take shape.

It was a man with panther-like features, with sharp lines, smooth muscle and a dominant posture.

His eyes—if you could call them that—locked onto Noah.

“Who are you?” he asked, his tone heavy with authority, as if Noah owed him an answer.

But Noah didn’t say a word.

He didn’t even look at him.

He just snapped his fingers and summoned a small prison of nothingness—and trapped him inside.

“You lowly human! Do you have any idea what you’re doing? Do you know who I am?! You better release me right now!”

His voice rose. It started calm but ended screaming.

Because even without sensing Noah’s full power—he could feel the nothingness around him.

And it surprised him greatly.

Noah didn’t respond.

Because he wasn’t done.

Katy had risked everything with this move.

All to keep the divine soul inside her unaware of what she was doing.

The poison she used was something she couldn’t fully control. It had shut her down—completely.

Heart. Mind. Soul.

All….frozen.

So now… she needed someone to reverse that.

To make everything beat again.

To melt the poison.

Otherwise—she’d die.

“Truly… what a curious and daring woman.”

Noah smiled gently as his fingers brushed her skin.

He didn’t use elemental power.

Only his voice, only his concept.

“Erase.”

And the poison obeyed.

It instantly shattered itself and vanished.
