Isabella and Fernando walk into the most deep room of this 'mausoleum', the room is very well decorated with many things, including various treasures and other things.
Fernando starts searching for something, after that he turns around and looks at Isabella, then says: "Like I said before, I'm gonna give you some things here, the first thing is this."
Fernando takes Isabella's sword and touches the blade and sliding his hand along it, until he touches the grip.
In the next moment the sword starts to shine, Isabella sees this and feels something strange, her sword is strengthening its connection with Isabella, she can feel how second by second, the connection is growing, very intrigued Isabella wants to ask what is happening.
But she doesn't have to do, because at the same moment the sword begins to transform into a human form, shocking her, the human form is a woman: who has a very long platinum hair and platinum eyes, a body with exuberant attributes, a gorgeous face with big red lips, but more importantly an imponent aura and penetrating gaze.
She sees Isabella and says: "So, you're my descendant and my master, no? You're Isabella, right?"
Isabella nods quickly and says: "Y-you're... Who are you?"
The woman laughs and says: "Hahaha, I am the Lion Empress from the North, daughter of the Lion from the North, Gustav Adolf the Conqueror and defender of the Supreme God of Beasts' temple. I'm the one who pacified the land of the Frozen Legion and the barbaric tribes of the land of the Sacred Ice Bears. I am Kristina Skylion."
Isabella now understands why her sword is called The Lion Empress from the North. Isabella's family once had a tradition of letting the family members choose what to do with the corpse.
They were given four options: have a sacred and exclusive mausoleum anywhere you wanted outside of the family cemeteries, be buried in the sacred family cemetery in the temple of the Supreme God of the Beasts, be buried in one of the family cemeteries distributed throughout the territory of the empire, or be refined and converted into something useful to the family, whatever you choose: artifact, guardian, protector, etc.
This was to help the new generation. Some ancestors chose one of the other options, but some decided to become something helpful to the family, especially some of the most important. Isabella's weapon and all actual weapons of the family members select their owners because of this. But with most of the information of their family lost to time, this includes most information about the weapons. Only the name is conserved, although this not only applies to Sky Lion weapons. Any other artifact and other things are the same.
Fernando interrupts the encounter, coughing Cough, cough, and says: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, for interrupting. Also, hello little lady, it's been so much time since I saw you, but we need to focus."
Kristina Skylion sees the man and quickly kneels, saying: "My lord, oh my lord, I didn't know you awakened my soul..."
Fernando says: "You don't have to do that at this moment. Also, sister-in-law, because I see you're cultivating a technique combination of the technique of my big brother, my technique, and the Sky Lion family technique, I don't have to give you my technique. So instead of giving you that, I'm giving this."
Fernando extends his hand and touches Isabella's forehead. Then a big chunk of information comes to Isabella's mind. It is a technique called the Supreme Body of the 35 Apex Beasts, a technique which lets you acquire and use 35 bloodlines of powerful beasts, with the ability to transform into each beast, their special soul, their skills, and even be able to evolve that bloodline.
Isabella is in shock again, but Fernando doesn't give her time to react because in the next moment, he takes a space ring and gives it to Isabella: "In this ring are your first two new bloodlines. Mine, the Planetary Celestial Tiger. The other is a bit weaker bloodline compared to mine, but it is really good, the Infernal Fire Phoenix. It is an original phoenix, like an original dragon like my brother, so it doesn't have the suffix western or eastern and, of course, can change between both forms. The ring has some other things useful to you, but also lets you come here whenever you want, even taking the mausoleum with you."
Isabella takes the ring, even more shocked, but Fernando adds: "If you can, ask my brother to give you a drop of his blood essence. That could help calm all of the other bloodlines, because this technique not only lets you integrate 35 bloodlines, but you need to have a balance between them. It is divided into five sections. Each one can take seven formations. The sections are the central one, south, north, east, and west. All of the parts form a circle, and you need to balance the attributes of the bloodlines, so the blood of my brother can help with that."
Kristina doesn't understand the generosity of her god, but she is not interrupting it.
Then Fernando puts his hand on Isabella's head and says: "In order to be able to use this technique, you need to acquire the special general constitution, which can be a very slow process. Even the human who created this and defied me, a paragon genius who is now dead, took a very long time, so I'm gonna help you to obtain the special general constitution. Endure the pain for a moment."
Isabella quickly feels a high pain, but she needs to endure this important process.
...
After 30 minutes have passed, the process ends.
Fernando begins speaking, looking very tired: "Now, this is the last thing I'm gonna give you."
He points to a pedestal, a very imposing pedestal. On the pedestal, an orb is on a cushion, one brown-looking orb, but more importantly, Isabella can sense some familiarity with this type of orb...
This is a divine authority. She understands what Fernando is going to say.
Fernando sees her and nods: "This is my divine authority, the supreme divine authority of the clan of beasts. I give that to you. You now are my heiress, sister-in-law. This is my last gift."
In that moment, on the pedestal, a little girl with beastly traits of a tiger appears, looking at Isabella very mad.
Isabella looks at Fernando's face and says: "I can't. Not only it doesn't recognize me, but also, I believe in you, my lord. I can't take the place of my god."
Fernando sighs and says: "It's okay. Then let's do this. You only take partial control of the authority. In the case my soul has survived and reincarnated, you give me back the authority. Is this okay for you?"
Isabella nods and replies: "Yes. I believe your soul survived. I don't know why, but my instinct says that to me."
Fernando, smiling, laughs 'Hahaha' a bit, then says: "Instinct, eh? That's good. A beast should believe in their instinct."
Fernando then, with a melancholic sight, says: "This is all, Isabella. I have to apologize for what I made you do, but also for not being able to save your family. I can't even see what is happening in the world, but I can see what is happening in the temple and its surroundings."
Fernando stops for a moment, looking in one direction: "I saw how the assassins tried to kill all of your family and take this temple, but because I can't leave this temple, I could only see everything happen. This is the real reason I allowed your grandpa and your special soul to take control of the copy. I also apologize for involving your family in this thing..."
Isabella's heart hurts not only because of this sad truth, but also because of the sad face of her god, for being impotent to do something, and because his god soul fragment is becoming more clear every moment as time passes.
He sees this and says: "Don't be sad. This was going to happen sooner or later, and you said it... your instinct says my soul survived, so in another moment we can be reunited... you, me and my big brother. Say to my wife and kids I love them. Also say to my brother, I love that clumsy bastard and strict big brother."
Then the doors open abruptly, letting enter a tall man with emerald hair and emerald eyes. The man sees Fernando and says: "There is no need to say that to me, I heard everything... Fernando..."
...
Feicui Long runs through all the temple, trying to remember the details of this temple, which is very difficult in his actual state, the state of a broken man. But finally, he can remember, and with effort, he can locate the secret tomb.
When he is about to enter, he hears the last word of his brother, a word of goodbye he couldn't hear that day in the war. Fernando is not only the most closely related brother in terms of species among all his brothers and sisters,
but also in terms of relationship. Fernando is his little brother, his best friend in all lives, one of the few who didn't fear him and his power. On the contrary, he is the second person in his heart and the second one with whom he spent the most time.
He couldn't help but enter quickly to fully hear this and say goodbye to his brother.
Fernando sees Feicui Long and then shakes his head and says: "I knew you would do it. Answer me, big brother, why did you do this to yourself!?"
Feicui Long comprehends what he is talking about, but ignores it and tries to change the topic: "I wanted to say goodbye to you, Fernando, and see you one last time..."
Fernando, happy and sad at the same time, says: "I'm glad about that, but big bro... you didn't have to do this to yourself."
Then Fernando extends his hand with the first treasure he had taken when Isabella and he entered the room, pointing to Feicui Long.
Fernando says in a very sad tone: "A man, no, a person or any being, shouldn't live without feelings... Because then they are no different from a rock or object which has not obtained spirit, soul, and mind."
Feicui Long, understanding what Fernando is going to do, says loudly: "I don't need them! I need to first achieve my goals, Fernando, don't you dare!"
Fernando shakes his head and replies: "Feelings are what make us a person. They are what make us different from objects. Be it sorrow, anger, pain, joy, love, or anything else, every one makes us a person and not an object. You're the one who said this to me, who taught me why I didn't have to hide my pain and why I can cry even though I'm a god."
Fernando then adds: "No person should suffer the cruel fate of not being able to feel anything, big bro. I'm sorry, I have to do this."
In the next moment, Fernando points the treasure to Feicui Long's body and recites an enchantment: "With the last power of this god, I command you to reveal and leave the body of my big brother, filthy devil!"
At the same time, a murky and sickening dark black aura begins emerging from Feicui Long's body. This makes him fall to the floor.
Feicui Long says quickly: "No! Stop, Fernando, don't do this to me! Please, I beg you."
But Fernando doesn't stop until the dark black and now a bit purple energy emerges, forming the figure of a devil, and behind him a formation appears with the same face as the devil.
Fernando says to Isabella: "This is the Nightmare Abyssal Devil, and that formation is the Abyssal Devouring Formation of Emotions and Senses. This formation was made to devour everything from a person... memories, bad feelings, good feelings... until the formation devours the person."
The Abyssal Devil, furious for being exposed, roars *ROAARRRR*
Fernando shakes his head and smiles with contempt and very angry, saying: "You, Aldebarand, always causing problems to your big brother. Not only do you not thank your big brother when he saved you from the other Supreme Gods, he took you with him only to save your life. Because of what you did, even your twin wanted to annihilate your soul. But now you want to devour everything of him? And even replace him?"
Fernando stops for a moment and then, angrier, says: "I knew I should have killed you at that time, but that doesn't matter anymore, because I'm going to do it now."
The devil, quickly running, confronts Fernando, only to, at the next moment, an image of an imposing tiger appears which transports everyone to an incredible scene in space... the tiger, the size of a planet, has platinum hair and stripes that appear to be made from smoky quartz, with three gems on the forehead: one tiger's eye in the center, two brown agates, one on the right, one on the left. On its chest is a white opal with an octagonal form.
The tiger sees the devil, who is like an ant to him, and releases an attack from his mouth: "Collapsing Core!"
Then the image of a planet exploding destroys the devil and the formation. After that, all returns to the room, and the devil's image starts to dissipate, saying: "I'm sorry, big brother Feicui Long. I'm sorry for all the problems I caused."
But also, the soul fragment of Fernando starts to disappear, saying: "Big bro, I love you. Thanks for everything you did for me. This little brother is happy to have the best big brother in existence... I'll see you later."
Seeing this, Feicui Long, who now has recovered all of his memories and feelings, enters into shock for a moment and cries, saying: "No, no Fernando, NOOOOOOOO..."
Then Feicui Long falls to his hands and knees, and the lost memories start flooding his mind, a mind now filled with feelings accumulated from a long, very long time.
