Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 897: Is she talking about me?

Boom! BZZ! Boom!

Deafening thunderclaps resounded in the middle of the mountain.

Eulalia and the others, who were waiting for Lina at the foot of the mountain by the campfire, abruptly stood up. Their surprised and slightly frightened gazes turned upward to the top of the mountain.

There, high above them, a part of the mountain sparkled with lightning strikes.

Under their influence, part of the rock began to collapse and crumble.

"Lina!" exclaimed Eulalia, convinced that this was the work of their friend.

Everyone in the group knew that only Lina had an affinity with the lightning element.

Eulalia, Aliya, Liam and Alois — they all started to worry about Lina and worry about her.

Over the past two days, the group had gone through many trials together, and now they were no longer just acquaintances.

Each of them realized the complexity of the trial, having experienced it all for themselves.

In the end, everyone else failed and gave up.

There was only one Lina left who had a chance to pass the trial.

And all their hope was pinned on her.

***

Nemo's heart was racing as he watched Lina. He saw her almost fall again, and it made him uneasy.

Nemo witnessed Lina suddenly stop shaking. Her frightened and desperate gaze began to change, filled with confidence and longing.

The environment around her quickly began to change, and Lina, step by step, continued on her way. The path in front of her was fragile and not very stable, but her steps were firm, without fear or uncertainty.

And soon Nemo heard Lina suddenly announce,

"I like him."

"Yes, I love him and I want to be with him."

She said it so loudly, as if she was addressing someone. As if she was making a statement.

"This is..." — Nemo froze in shock.

"Is she talking about me?" — the first thing Nemo asked. Lina did not mention the name of the one she likes, the one she loves and who she wants to be with.

The name of the person she cares about.

"She's talking about me, isn't she?" Nemo repeated his question.

[Yes, the Champion. She's talking about you.] System replied readily, dispelling Nemo's growing anxiety.

Nemo stared in surprise at the system window that appeared in front of him.

But his surprise quickly dissipated when he realized the meaning of the words spoken by the System.

"Does Lina like me?"

"She loves me"

Saying this to himself, Nemo was overcome by a strange feeling of joy and warmth that began to spread throughout his body.

"I... want to experience what my other half went through," Lina confessed, and her face blushed, which did not escape Nemo's gaze.

"I want to start a family with him, like Idan and Arabel did."

This announcement only intensified the fire that had just ignited in Nemo's soul.

But Nemo's joy did not last long.

While Lina was worried by the words of the elder Valkyries, and the path began to shake and show signs of collapse, Nemo was overcome by his own anxiety.

His injury.

His ugliness.

Compared to Lina, who was so indescribably beautiful in her own way, Nemo felt like a cripple, missing his right arm and disfigured his face.

This realization, like cold water, cooled the flame raging inside him, but did not extinguish it completely.

"I'm not worthy of her", — Nemo thought. "I can't be with her until I get rid of all my flaws and ugliness."

Nemo realized that as long as he wears a mask on his face, he is not only unworthy of her, but also has no right to be with her.

This only increased his desire to return to Junonia and find the person the Master had asked him for, a person who could heal his injury.

Meanwhile, Lina was being closely watched by a second observer, the Supervisor of the Forbidden Zone.

He couldn't figure out what was going on with this Fallen Valkyrie.

It seemed like she was about to fall and fail the test. But suddenly everything changed. The trail that had disappeared began to recover.

The supervisor checked — there was no external interference in the rules of the test. The trail continued to follow its original design, reflecting the integrity of the subject.

Such a drastic change indicated that the Fallen Valkyrie seemed to have suddenly begun to gain self-awareness and acceptance.

It was completely illogical from the Supervisor's point of view.

"Is she talking to someone?" he thought when he heard Lina's loud statement.

"But with whom?"

No matter how hard he tried, his senses and Soul Force couldn't detect anyone's presence.

It started to annoy and scare him at the same time.

As the most powerful being in this Forbidden Zone, as a Rank 9 being, he couldn't detect the presence of another being. This only confirmed that whoever was interfering was superior to him, and it began to cause him fear.

"The Valkyrie who fell in love, and the fallen Valkyrie who lost her wings," he whispered, looking at Lina and then at Nemo. He began to understand the relationship between the two.

The Supervisor also noticed the changes Lina was beginning to experience.

"Who would have thought that I would witness such an event after so many years," he said.

"No matter how "she" tried to chain them, there was someone who was able to break free and become "free."

With these words, the Supervisor and Nemo witnessed an incredible phenomenon: a powerful lightning energy burst out of Lina's body, which covered part of the mountain and hid it from their eyes.

Thunder and bright lightning filled the part of the mountain where Lina was.

The path she was following disappeared, and a huge sphere of lightning hung in the air. It was an incredible sight.

The sphere was visible even from below, where Eulalia and the others were standing. All of them watched with bated breath, waiting to see what would happen next.

None of them had witnessed the so-called "Rebirth" before, so no one knew what was going on.

The only one who was aware was Lina herself, who was currently going through this process.

And this was not her first rebirth, but her second.

Looking at this sphere, the Supervisor of the Forbidden Zone felt an invisible force called the Bloodline Domain descending.

"Young Valkyrie, show me how you can handle this," the Supervisor said, adding,

"Can you get through all this and find true freedom?"
