Capítulo 42: Crista's Miracle

"I can't believe that a bastard like you exists" Daniel strengthened his strangled on the Patriarch's neck without any remorse.

He was experiencing a wave of anger that made him want to kill the man in a way where death is a privilege.

But even that wasn't enough to accommodate everything the daughter had gone through.

She might not be his child or lover for now, but the worse outcome a father could be is abusing his child.

'I guess there's no difference between Earth and this world after all, and this world might be many times worse than I initially assumed'

Once again, he realized that no matter how different this world can be, it still couldn't escape from how irresponsible a parent can be.

As some said, not every parent deserves to be a father or a mother, and not every mother and father deserves a child, well you get the point.

"I never thought a parent like you could ever exist and don't tell me that you've done nothing wrong," Daniel said.

On the other hand, Fresia was standing by his side as she watched his rage blooming.

Initially, she didn't understand why he had thrown a fit, but upon looking closer at the girl, she frowned her eyes.

She may have thrown her sons aside from her life, but that doesn't mean her motherhood disappeared.

She was older, perhaps 2 or 3 times her age, but that's exactly the reason why she portrayed the girl as someone who could potentially be her daughter.

Moreover, once she had joined the sect, they would be more or less family and sisters, thus, she was angry as Daniel can be.

"Don't worry young girl. You can just stand beside me" She said with a smile as she gestured for the young frail girl to stay behind her.

She felt the need to protect and give her some sense of shield.

"O-Okay" For her, she has absolutely no idea what was going on. She was as clueless as her father as to how this happened.

But for the first time in her life, she felt a strand of happiness.

Seeing someone stand up for her, she finally found what others would describe as happiness, and because of that, droplets of teardrops began falling on the ground.

"I guess words won't be enough to let you know what you've done. You know what? I'm not going to let you decide how you're going to live. Let your daughter decide your fate"

Daniel threw his body on the ground and froze his legs with a splash of ice elements, preventing him from moving around.

"Ahhh!" He screamed in pain as his legs were frozen and his internal organs were damaged by the ice essences.

"What's your name little one?" He approached the woman and asked with a bright smile.

"C-Crista" She answered timidly.

"I see, it's Crista. What a lovely name" He complimented wanting to ease her heart.

"As you can see Crista, your father is a scum who has hurt you, and you as his daughter, would you want him to remain alive or dead?"

He asked straightforwardly.

Crista remained silent as she was dumbfounded. It was extremely sudden for her to absorb what was happening around her.

If a stranger suddenly beat up your father and asked whether you'd like your father to be alive or dead, surely, you'd freak out.

However, as strange as the situation can be for Crista, she began recalling all of the memories she had with his father which were unpleasant.

She was a child, born from a maid that his father toyed with and killed eventually when she was six years old.

And it was a moment when her life turned dark.

At 7 years old, her father had beaten her up so badly that her meridians were damaged and implicated side effects which resulted in hindering her cultivation progression.

At 8 years old, she was almost sold to paedophiles in the 'Underground' for being a nuisance and it was only after she begged that her father allowed to let her to stay in this house.

Her throat was burned after her father found it amusing to watch her suffering and laughed at her damaged voice, and this was only when she was 10 years old.

Her hands were broken after she failed to enter the 5 sects when she was 12 years old.

Her legs were stomped by his feet, causing her left leg to be at the brim of uselessness after she failed to buy him liquor on time.

There were countless horrible experiences that her father did to her to the point, she was almost driven to insanity.

But some may have asked how she could stay strong despite all of this abuse.

Was it due to a strong mentality or was it because she loved her father?

No.

The reason was none of these.

The reason behind her strong will was because of a hope that was left behind by her 'deceased' mother.

For all this time, she had wanted to kill herself, but because she didn't want to disappoint her mother, she withstood all of the pain and abuse.

And just when she couldn't take it, a letter was mysteriously delivered to her when she reached 18 years old, and it was from her mother.

'Dear my only precious little girl. By the time you have read this, your mother has returned to the 'Immortal Realm'

'And forgive me for not taking you with me, and I do want to take you away from that scum of a man'

'But I can't bear to take you with me into a world where chaos is everywhere which is why Mother had used Divination Foretelling'

'I wanted to see the future of my child, and do you know what I discovered?'

'I discovered that your future had no limits once you have reached 18 years old'

'The light that aligns with the path of your future was overwhelmingly bright that it broke off my future foresight'

'Do you know what this means? It means that somehow you found your potential which rivals the masters and old monsters in the immortal realm, or perhaps even better'

'And I have faith in my daughter, and I write this letter to beg you to push yourself a little longer'

'I know my sweetheart's life wouldn't be peaceful considering that man...but I beg you to hold on till the miracle comes and...maybe one day...we could meet again...'

'I have left a pendant...and this is my gift for you and my love for you...so, please child, let us meet again...and I miss you too much...'

The night she read those letters, she cried as she realized her mother is still alive.

She didn't know how she returned to the immortal realm and how she was still alive when she had seen her corpse.

She had so many questions that she wanted to ask, but she realized that she wouldn't be able to do anything.

And now, she never expected that her miracle would about to come true.

'Is he my hope?' She questioned herself with nervousness.

She didn't love her father and hated him to the point, she wishes he would drop dead and her answer wouldn't change no matter what.

"Dead..." She finally answered, however, her eyes became darker than black with no emotions in her wrecked voice.

"You ungrateful bitch! I should have sold you to those old men!" The man screamed.

The Patriarch began to fear as he knows what Daniel was truly capable of, but did Daniel give a damn about his feelings?

"Hey, a deadman shouldn't be talking right?" Daniel smiled as he approached the patriarch.

"N-No p-please!" He begged as loud as he could and seeing how Daniel was coming in closer towards him, he feared as he tries to move.

But his actions were futile as his legs were sealed by ice and to kill a man where death would be a pleasure, Daniel smile with pure evilness.

"You will suffer for eternity..." Daniel simply announced as he raised his hand.

"No!!!" Fear for what was to come, he screamed at the top of his lungs and seconds later, he realized that his entire original body had changed into something incomprehensible.

It wasn't a monster nor a human that Daniel had changed his body into, it was simply a meat where his eyes, mouth, and nose were distorted.

And the only privilege that Daniel left behind was his consciousness and the ability to think, feel, and sense.

Upon finishing his masterpiece of creation, he granted this meat of ball an infinite lifeforce with nearly infinite regeneration where he would infinitely live to suffer his punishment.

And what punishment did Daniel give time?

Simple, it's burning alive.

He has stripped away every of his cultivation origins and any means of adapting to the highest and most dangerous flame.

Thus with that, Daniel clenched his fist and sent him down to the ground where it's close to the planet's core.

*Boom*

When Daniel clenched his fist, the meat of the ball as though moved by an absolute force was dragged on beneath the ground where no existence could live.

And as it was burned alive, its voice echoed, however, the hole that was left behind by the trail was quickly sealed up.

"Now you'll live in hell forever," He said with satisfaction.

Now, Daniel's abilities granted him a power where there's nothing that could stop him from doing anything he wants such as changing the entire structure of an organism thanks to the Law of Life, and Gaia's ability.

With that, he had changed the patriarch's body into something else.

"Are you alright?" Afterwards, Daniel was concerned about Crista's mental state as now he could finally focus her worries on her.

Crista had no idea what happened to her father, but the events that happened before her have clearly shown that he has suffered a fate where death would be a wish for him.

And now, she couldn't help but recall the words in her mother's letter and she broke down in tears.

Crista immediately hugged him and cried as though washing away all of her bad dreams and Daniel comforted her with a soft smile.

"It's alright...the bad dreams have ended and now, only the good dreams will start," He comforted while caressing her back.

She cried where her feelings that she kept for years could finally be shown and her tears had drowned his robes, though he did not mind it.

It took half an hour for her to calm down before she once again recalled what was his purpose for coming here.

"Crista, I know you've suffered for so long and you never once had found someone you could depend on. But I could change that" Daniel began telling his reasons for coming here.

"I could give anything and everything to you and be the man you can depend on, and all I'm asking is for you to be by my side"

"Do you want to be my woman?" He questioned.

Crista blushed upon thinking about the meaning behind becoming his woman and she wasn't an idiot to understand that motive.

But what she was afraid is making the wrong choice.

Thus, could she once again accept a man's trust?

And the answer to that question is...

"Yes...I want to be your woman and also your disciple" She answered with a wide smile while tears were still flowing.

She decided to place her trust in him as someone who had saved her from her misery and also in her mother who asked her to push on.

"I'm glad and you won't regret it" He replied as he caressed her hair.

He was almost taken aback by how appalled the sight of Crista accepting his decision looked. Her smile which was as sincere as the clarity of a glass had struck his heart.

With her tears flowing out, it wasn't an ugly sight to him but rather, a purity and innocence that represented how sincere she was in becoming his woman. Thus, he couldn't help but want to protect this precious girl.
