Viktor thought Umilia would have a hard time cleaning herself up after all the cum he spurted over her body and was about to help her out when he was astonished to see that with just a snap of her fingers, her body became perfectly clean, just like that.
"Magic is indeed convenient, huh?" Viktor chuckled as he shook his head.
"Well…learning witchcraft shouldn't be just limited to fighting off evil but also used for daily life," Umilia said with a radiant smile and asked, "Don't you want to learn to use your Odic Force? I can sense how strong your Odic Force is, but it seems a bit unrefined since you never properly cultivated it. I can teach you."
Viktor shrugged as he waved his hand, "No need for now. I am already strong enough as it is."
Viktor felt that learning these things would be a drag, especially when he heard that it required centuries of dedicated mind and focus. He wasn't yet ready to force himself into a routine and burn himself out. He had only woken up fifty years ago and wanted to have some time to enjoy himself before getting bored again. He decided to take up Umilia's offer when that happened.
Umilia parted her lips to say something like a flash of hesitation crossed her face, but then she said as she put on a tight-fitting sports jacket and pants, "Alright, if that's your wish. Anyway, considering your skills, I am sure you will learn quickly."
The two soon left and decided to walk back home as they walked through the almost empty streets under the night sky, talking and laughing about various things as they reminisced about the past.
"By the way, your daughter, Sayana, what really happened that day? Who dared to hurt you? I didn't ask you before since it seemed like a traumatic event for you but are you alright to talk about it now?" Viktor asked with knitted brows. This was something that was always in the back of his mind.
Umilia softly nodded as her expression became complicated and said, "To be honest, because of my state at that time, it all feels like a blur, and all I remember was the intense pain I suffered while sleeping in those cages along with others. There was this woman…she had a small scar over her eye if I remember correctly and she was the one who captured us all and put us in cages like animals…haa…it was really horrible. The treatment they gave us was even worse, especially when we were put in rooms that didn't have any light at all."
Viktor clenched his fists, feeling angry yet sad that Umilia faced this all alone while he was fooling around somewhere. If only he had known about this, he could have saved her and made sure to find out who these people were, especially the woman with the scar.
"What did they exactly do to you people?" Viktor asked as his brows furrowed even more.
Umilia said as she tried to remember those memories as she didn't feel much daunted by them anymore considering she had gone through enough tribulations in her past life, "First they gave us some kind of injections which I was barely conscious enough to notice what it was. Then they made us lie on observation beds for at least a month and during that month was when I experienced intense pain that made me feel like almost killing myself just to escape from this pain and couldn't think of anything else."
By this time, even Umilia couldn't help but wrinkle her nose remembering these unpleasant memories, but she wanted to tell Viktor everything since this was quite important and continued, "And the next month, they took multiple syringes of blood from me, making me wonder if they were going to kill me by draining me of all blood. I expected all kinds of bad things, but in the end, I became unconscious for god knows how long till one day I woke up with a baby in my hands. There was this lady doctor who was monitoring me all this time…she told me that I should feed the baby since it was mine. I was shocked and confused since I never had a man, but the doctor assured me by saying that it was an 'artificial' process, but in the end, the child has my DNA. She then explained it to me as well, even though it seemed like she shouldn't."
Umilia looked at Viktor and asked, "Do you know what she said?"
Viktor shook his head with a hint of confusion on his face since all this time he thought it was artificial insemination, and thinking about it only made him feel even more determined to punish the ones who hurt her.
Umilia said in a soft voice, "Apparently, Sayana was "artificially" born in every way with some artificially engineered DNA in her along with mine. She was made with my own blood only with slight modifications here and there. And I myself saw babies being created and nurtured in large liquid tubes…a large number of them. Some were as small as my little finger, while some seemed big enough to come out. However, I heard that most of them would die because of certain complications, and I was, in fact, very lucky to have my child born healthy and alive. Knowing all these things… It was yet another shocker for me, and I never remembered about it ever again until now when I forcefully peered into my subconscious."
Viktor was also shocked to hear this since he had never heard of anyone growing babies artificially like this…it just didn't make sense, and scientifically he had no idea how all this worked.
Since all this meant that Sayana was artificially created using Umilia's blood!
He hugged Umilia, imagining what she must be feeling carrying all this in her heart for all these years without nobody to tell these things or more like she couldn't. He wished he could have been there for her in the past or at least returned to the Snow Mansion earlier, but now he decided to catch all these people who were involved and get to the bottom of it.
Umilia softly smiled, feeling his warm hug, and hugged his waist as she leaned her head towards his chest while walking, feeling better after talking about these sad and uncomfortable memories.
She felt even sadder for her daughter, wondering how she would react if she came to know about all this.
After a few moments, Viktor asked curiously, "Do you have any idea why they did all this or went through such complicated measures? What was their mission?"
