章 147: Sacrifice was the only way out

"When I was in the domino base, I discovered I was pregnant. Before then, I didn't even feel a thing. I had no idea about being pregnant at all, Ty. Believe me when I say, I was determined to fight my way through any obstacles, and emerge unscathed. I wouldn't have put myself or the child in harm's way. Later on, I realized that there was something wrong with me." Iris smiled bitterly, then she shifted her gaze away from Tyler and continued, "The witch chose our son as a medium for Minerva to awaken. What that means is that they accumulated all the dark energy from the souls they harvested and deposited them in the fetus. The plan was to awaken Minerva with all that dark energy, and then make the fetus a backup source of dark energy for her in the early days of her awakening. Those days were supposed to be when she was most vulnerable. With all that evil nourishing the baby, the child had to become our nemesis when born. Simply put, the child was destined for pure evil."
