Chapter 2: 2: Recognizing God as Father
"Smart kid."
Ruger squinted his eyes, smiled, and reached out to touch Kevin's head. Kevin did not resist, nor did he dare to resist. Even after Ruger admitted his identity, he couldn't help but tremble slightly all over.
Because he is a god, a real god! And just now, he pretended to be his child!
He came to settle accounts with me!
"You're afraid of me," Ruger said softly.
"No!" Kevin looked up in panic, and when their eyes met, he quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Yes, I'm very sorry…"
"You don't have to apologize, kid." Ruger said with a smile: "After all, I came here without any prior notice... Do you know why?"
"Master Luger, I'm sorry. I had no choice but to pretend to be your child." Kevin explained in a panic: "I will tell them the truth tomorrow..."
"It's not because of this."
Before he could finish his words, Ruger interrupted him softly. Kevin, who was a little surprised and puzzled, couldn't help but look up and cast a puzzled look at Ruger.
"I came here for you, but not because of your disguise." Ruger touched Kevin's head again and smiled, "You know, kid, you are special."
"special..." Kevin was slightly stunned and replied in confusion: "Special ?"
Luger nodded slightly: "I can't see you...even if you are sitting in front of me now, I can't see you."
As he spoke, Ruger held up Kevin's head with both hands, letting the confused Kevin look into his eyes. After a moment, he said with a very amused expression and tone, "You are clearly in front of me, and my hands clearly touched you, but I still can't see you.
It's as if you don't exist, there is no past, no future... My child, you are the most special and interesting person I have ever met in my life!"
After saying that, Luger let go of his hand, smiled, and asked Kevin who was still looking at him: "Kid, can you tell me what's going on?"
Today is an important day for Cu Chulainn and a major turning point in his life, so Ruger, as his father, came early to guard silently by his side. He himself did not intend to show up, but he discovered Kevin.
This special boy appeared from nowhere, and even he, as a god, could not "see" him.
He developed a strong interest in Kevin, and he seemed to have a wonderful connection with Cu Chulainn!
Therefore, he came to see Kevin not to settle accounts, but just to satisfy his curiosity, to satisfy the curiosity of a god!
"...I don't know." After hesitating for a while, Kevin lowered his head with a sad look and replied: "I'm sorry, Lord Luger, I don't know either. I don't know where I came from, and I don't know why I am here... and I don't know where I should go in the future."
Looking at the depressed boy in front of him, Ruger tilted his head and glanced at the sword at his waist. After making sure that it was pointed at Kevin, he realized that Kevin was not lying.
"Really..." Ruger touched Kevin's head, soothing him, and rolled his eyes, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "In that case, are you willing to be my, Ruger Mike Esoren's adopted son?"
Kevin looked up at Ruger in shock. At that moment, he really thought his ears were sick! But Ruger's smile was still so gentle. He looked at Kevin quietly, waiting for a reply.
"...Father!" After a brief hesitation, Kevin stood up and said excitedly to Ruger.
Thighs, no, divine legs!!
Actually, Ruger had no intention of adopting Kevin at first. He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity. But after spending a short time together, he couldn't help but develop a liking for Kevin, a smart and honest child.
Of course, if it were just that, he would not say such a thing, mainly because of Kevin's peculiarity and Cu Chulainn.
Ruger naturally heard what Cu Chulainn said. He was very curious why Cu Chulainn said that. It was not out of kindness, but Cu Chulainn really felt that Kevin was very important to him!
For a man like Cuchulainn, this feeling could hardly be wrong!
At the same time, he wanted to see what wonderful changes Kevin, this interesting existence that he could not see, would bring to Cu Chulainn and the future!
"Good, good, good!" Looking at Kevin jumping up from the bed and standing in front of him, Ruger, in a good mood, couldn't help but grab his hand and pull it in front of him, pinched his tender face, and touched his head, feeling very satisfied.
"From today on, you are my Luger's child! ...But your body seems to be too weak, not as strong as your brother."
After thinking for a while, Luger took off his sword and handed it to Kevin: "Take it, kid. It will protect you on my behalf until you come of age!"
Kevin took the sword handed to him. It was a very peculiar sword. It had no hilt to hold, and the blade was spherical. Kevin was more likely to hold it with his right hand than to say that he took it. It was floating in Kevin's right hand at this moment.
"It's the magic sword Fragrak." As Kevin looked at it curiously, Ruger gently introduced the magic sword to him.
Flagrak has an extremely sharp sword tip. Ordinary armor cannot withstand its sharpness. It can cut through things like butter, and the scars caused by this sword cannot be erased by ordinary treatment!
At the same time, anyone pointed at by the sword cannot tell any lies. It even has the ability to limit the opponent's trump card, that is, the ultimate move!
When the opponent launches a special move, it can rewrite this fact, turning the launched attack into a failed attack, and fly out at the same time, causing heavy damage to the enemy!
Hearing that Ruger wanted to give it to him and protect him while he grew up, Kevin declined at first. Only when Ruger's brows frowned slightly did he hurriedly accept it. Then Ruger made Kevin its owner and taught Kevin how to use it.
Then, as Kevin thought about it, the magic sword Vlagerak turned into a small ball and fell quietly into his hand. This is the still state of the magic sword.
"Thank you so much, father!" Kevin said sincerely to Ruger, holding the magic sword ball tightly in his hand. Although he still didn't know why he appeared here and what he should do, with this thing, he would undoubtedly be able to survive!
"Yeah." Ruger touched Kevin's head with relief, glanced at Cu Chulainn who was still sleeping beside him, and suddenly asked after a moment: "Kevin, are you willing to go home with me? Or...are you ready to stay with your brother?"
Kevin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cu Chulainn who was standing beside him. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and said to him firmly: "Father, I want to stay by his side!"
Kevin vaguely realized that one of the reasons why Ruger adopted him as his son and gave him the magic sword was because of Cu Chulainn, and... thinking back to the words that rang in his head at that time, Kevin thought that by following Cu Chulainn, he should be able to find the answer to why he was here and where he would go in the future!
"Yes." Ruger nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, you should stay by your brother's side from today on. However... your body is too weak. Even with the magic sword by your side, it is difficult to protect you completely."
Luger frowned, pondered for a while, and finally said: "Starting from tomorrow, I will ask my servants to bring you the divine fruit from the other world every night. You must remember to take it every day for three years. You must not stop during these three years. After three years, you will have a strong body that is immune to all diseases!"
In Ruger's eyes, Kevin's current body is no different from that of a baby. After all, he is comparing him with Cu Chulainn, and the seven-year-old Cu Chulainn could kill the Kuran Mastiff, which even more than a dozen strong men could not subdue, with his bare hands in just a few minutes!
Kevin nodded to show that he understood, and Ruger looked at the sky outside the window. When he thought it was about time, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Father," Kevin called him, looking at Cu Chulainn who was sleeping beside him, and said, "Aren't you going to meet Cu Chulainn?"
"It's not the right time yet." Ruger replied with a faint smile: "When the time comes, I will naturally meet him...Kevin, take care of yourself, and Serada, no, it should be called Cu Chulainn now."
After saying that, in the instant Kevin blinked, Ruger disappeared in front of him. Kevin went to the window and looked at the dark night outside. He slightly clenched the magic sword in his hand, and after a long time, he returned to the bed and lay down.
"Just watch." Ruger, who was leaving the castle and heading for the other world, suddenly stopped and looked at the deserted wilderness around him. He smiled and said, "From today on, Kevin is my child, Ruger. I don't want you to disturb him... Do you understand?!"
"...Understood, respected God of Light and Sun."
A faint voice sounded beside Ruger's ear. After getting the answer, Ruger nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and walked into the darkness.
