No one has ever called it mom, and it has never had such an experience.
"Don’t think you can sneak away!"
Anapolis’s "hand" reaching out is affectionately wrapped by the giant octopus. That fiery emotion is constantly flowing toward it beneath the bridge built by lightning elements. It noticed Ethan’s anomaly and immediately shouted.
This is not what was promised!
The new therapy said it was to get them to open up, but it never mentioned it would end up with an extra child!
Now, this child is acting coy toward it, yet it has absolutely no experience in raising a child.
"Actually, from an objective standpoint, what you’re doing is no different from its mom."
Moreover, from a biological genetics standpoint, once the concepts of "birth, aging, sickness, and death" are removed from Aelium, it ceases to be just a giant octopus and becomes a kind of creature never recorded before. As long as Anapolis’s power exists for a day, it possesses an almost eternal life.
"Quickly think of something, it’s constantly clinging to me now!"
Anapolis tried to struggle several times, but only ended up being even more tightly wrapped by Aelium, and this two-way emotional bridge also brought about some negative effects.
In the past, it could just wave its hand to break these tentacles, which wouldn’t kill it but would bring pain and leave it in weakness.
However, now, it was feeling inexplicable emotions.
This troublesome little kid is so annoying, yet it can’t bear to hit it, so it’s left with no choice but to let it hold onto its arm.
This doctor has a problem!
Anapolis feels like it’s been deceived.
"However, you’re actually enjoying it, aren’t you?"
Ethan crossed his hands, propping up his chin.
Lightning elements don’t lie.
As a bridge, even he could feel Anapolis’s annoyed yet somewhat joyful mood.
So, this is what it feels like to be a mom.
"I am not! Make it let go!"
In front of mind reading, language loses its effect. Even with Anapolis deliberately showing a fierce and vicious look, the giant octopus that can sense its true thoughts is not afraid at all. It even realizes that mom has become happy. With Ethan’s secret assistance, the giant octopus explored the deep sea floor for a moment before stuffing a "gift" into Anapolis’s palm.
"This is a good beginning; you will live together for a long time in the future."
Ethan admires the harmonious scene; for Anapolis, who detests loneliness, its future life will certainly become much more interesting.
And now, it is time for him to fulfill his promise. Through the bridge, he asked Aelium, "Little Octopus, I have a question for you."
Aelium’s attention turned to Ethan.
"I can help bring part of your consciousness out of here. Would you like to travel with your mom?"
"Who are you calling its mom!"
Anapolis’s eyes were about to shoot fire.
Aelium, the troublesome little kid, it couldn’t bear to hit, but Ethan, this person, truly deserves a beating.
When it breaks free, it must strangle Ethan’s throat.
What a successful therapy case! This update is available on n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Ethan once again felt the sea breeze as he returned to the deck of the ark through the ceremony.
The tsunami had passed, the sea returned to its calm state, and the outline of Ophira could still be seen not far away.
The deck was unusually quiet, even somewhat eerie.
Everyone was staring at him in shock, even Uerta was no exception.
"What’s wrong? What are you all looking at me for?"
Ethan was somewhat puzzled.
His inquiry jolted Uerta awake as if from a dream. The friend’s octopus-face fingers trembled with tension. Since they met, Ethan had never seen Uerta so flustered.
The deep blue finger pointed at his forehead, making the once deep voice turn sharp.
He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Old Sen, you, you were bitten by an octopus!"
