âRevenge? Of course, I want it. But how could I do it in this condition?â
If it were possible, I would certainly try. The problem was that I didnât know how.
Although I had slightly improved from before, it still took all my strength just to breathe. If I spoke too long, like just now, I would inevitably end up gasping for air.
Unless I could stop my power from draining to Aria, it would be safe to say that I couldnât even lift a finger.
âThink about her actions. What did she say? She took your power and spoke of a seal, yet she did not break it and disappear. She left you with a chance. Why do you think that is?â
ââ¦Because she couldnât absorb it all?â@@novelbin@@
âCorrect.â
The Demon God confirmed calmly. I had guessed it, recalling how she almost died when she first tried to consume my power, and it seemed I was right.
âShe might have been able to handle the half that was sealed, but her body is still far too inadequate to accept all of your power. If she could, would she have left you any power at all?â
âNo.â
Aria had disappeared, claiming that she could achieve her goal with the power she had already absorbed. That meant the rest was left intact.
Given that she likely understood my full potential better than I did, it was more accurate to say that she couldnât take the rest, rather than she chose not to. She wouldnât have left any room for doubt or uncertainty.
Especially after I had let my guard down at the end and ended up with my shoulder impaled.
âI donât know how to stop your power from flowing to her. But I do know how to make her give it up on her own.â
âLike how she had to give it back when she couldnât withstand it the first time?â
âExactly. Once she spits it out, it will return to you.â
So the plan was not for me to do something directly, but to make her return the power herself.
