Chapter 2146: Why?

After learning the truth about Shinta, Emery set off in pursuit of the spaceship that had taken the girl. He let VIA pilot and track the ships while he engaged in his own internal struggle.

The revelation made him unusually emotional, with feelings of anger and despair powerful enough to awaken the star-devouring beast within his Magus Domain. Emery had been battling his inner beast since discovering the truth, trying to make sense of the situation.

"A daughter…. She is my daughter."

"How…?"

He walked the memory lane, recalling the time they were stranded on the island and their moments together on the Ouroboros planet.

"Did she know about this already, then?"

"Is this why she wanted me to join the faction?"

The weight of these questions bore down on him. His mind raced, trying to piece together every interaction, every hint he might have missed. The realization that Shinta could have known all along gnawed at him, deepening his turmoil.
