Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 379
Chapter 379
The Princess probably deduced it after seeing that they had escaped the maze without any harm or consequence.
They were born with the same mark, while Maya was pondering whether to reveal that Noah was a god, a thought suddenly crossed Maya’s mind.
‘If the princess were to become Noah’s priestess and gain his protection, she would never have to worry about losing God’s mark and the divine power.’
It was a brilliant idea.
Not only could she save the princess, but also protect the world. Was there a more perfect solution?
“Princess, this person is…”
Why couldn’t she finish her sentence?
Maya bit her lip for a moment
‘I acted like I could quickly pass Noah onto someone qualified when they appeared.’
How pathetic, was she trying to be greedy now.
‘But the situation is different, isn’t it? Back then, I didn’t know that the mad parasite had entered the prince and was after God’s mark.’
If she gives up Noah now and loses his protection, eventually, the one who will be targeted will be Maya.
There are quite a few people from her hometown who know God’s mark is clearly engraved on her back.
‘So, should I die?’
Before becoming the substitute for the princess. Should she end her own life?
‘No.’
Why should I sacrifice myself?
Frustration and unfairness surged within her.
Then why does the princess have to sacrifice herself?
‘The wise princess. The prince who was once the heir, has fallen to this state, so now it’s the princess’s turn to set things right.’
Unlike Maya, who was unwanted, the princess was an essential part of this kingdom.
It’s what’s right.
“Noah. The evil god you will serve, the one that belongs to you.”
In that moment, the events of that day, long buried in memory, began to surface just a little.
The moment his existence felt like it was both a part of her and, at the same time, her entire being.
“I made sure you wouldn’t get hurt.”
The overwhelming emotions that filled her when she had someone who could listen to her prayers, which had always been solitary before.
Maya struggled to move her lips, and barely managed to whisper,
“…This person is a god.”
He knew it was coming.
Even though he knew, he still asked as if testing.
Maybe this time it would be different.
‘No, I hoped it would be different.’
He had already been used enough and was disillusioned with this world.
If he just ignored it, he could have enjoyed the ordinary life he so desired.
‘I was rejected. Twice.’
But both times, the reasons were clear.
Having an evil god who would grant anything made her greedy. And she couldn’t sacrifice innocent people, so she tried to bear it herself.
“Ha.”
God Shadra always loved humans who rushed their orders.
Noah wanted to know the reason for that.
Always, constantly.
Wasn’t it you who made humans endlessly desire, turning them into beings who relentlessly sought their desires? But, why do you have affection for a poor creature who denies their purpose and fights against it?
Isn’t that essentially a defective product?
The reason…
“…This person is a god.”
Noah finally understood. Noah had always been a question.
Was there a reason for his existence in this world?
‘Not really.’
Why did an all-powerful god conceive a human child, creating a demigod who didn’t belong to either the heavens or the earth?
Noah waited until the moment a mission would be given.
He waited, and waited again. It wasn’t because he particularly wanted to find a reason for his existence or because he genuinely wanted to help God.
He simply didn’t belong anywhere, and didn’t deserve to die.
Waiting was all there was to do.
The sun rose and set, the rain fell, and storms raged.
As countless years passed by…
“Just wait a little longer. I’ll get you out of here.”
He met a human child, one who carried the pure essence of God, someone who shouldn’t even exist.
“Hey, let’s go now. Huh? I’ll help you. Let’s go together.”
He also met a human who, wanting to help others, rushed into flames like a moth to the fire.
Without even realizing her own hands were covered in burns.
I see. Noah understood.
This was all a test from God.
It was to see if he could wait patiently until the right moment.
And Noah realized who he had been waiting for all along.
‘Elaina.’
This child was a descendant from the distant future.
His own bloodline.
He would establish the Valentine family, marry a human woman, have children, and pass on strong bodies to his descendants. This was the clear vision of the future.
And…
‘Maya.’
She was the companion God had destined for Noah.
Before meeting her, Noah had been driven to madness, consuming humans, and falling into darkness, becoming an evil god.
‘If I had given up being the child of god…’
He would have remained nothing more than that existence.
But Noah chose Maya.
An evil god, yes, but not a fallen one, an evil god who belonged to a human, serving one human alone.
He had passed God’s test.
Now, two questions arose.
The first, Why was Elaina shaped as a vessel to accept part of the god?
Naturally, being his bloodline, she was a perfect vessel, able to hold something as impossible as God’s body and blood without breaking.
But why was such a vessel needed?
It was called a vessel, but in simpler terms, it was an object to prevent rampaging power, essentially a seal.
Why would God be preparing to seal part of itself?
Surely, God knew that doing so would eventually lead to the collapse of the world.
The second question, why did Noah have to become an ‘evil god’?
Why was it necessary to pass down the blood of an evil god to the future generations?
The answer came sooner than expected.
It was when they encountered Prince Gerald of the Fineta Kingdom on their way to the dragon’s nest.
Noah saw a spark.
