Chapter 858 Sephiroth's Awakening
"Actually, I don't know. But I always feel... that I am different from others."
Sephiroth's voice echoed in the darkness, sounding low and confused. His eyes were full of confusion and exploration, looking for an answer that he himself could not answer.
"I have had this feeling since I was a child, and it has been with me growing up."
He continued, with a hint of sadness in his voice. He recalled those childhood days, and those unique feelings followed him like a shadow, making him unable to integrate into the lives of ordinary people.
"I used to think that this was because I was a special warrior trained by Shinra Company."
Sephiroth's eyes flashed with a trace of determination, and he seemed to be recalling those days of training, the efforts and sacrifices he made to become the most powerful warrior.
However, his voice suddenly became low, "But now I see these monsters... I began to doubt whether I am also such a monster."
His words were full of self-doubt and uneasiness, as if questioning his existence and meaning.
Chang Wei listened to his confession quietly without interrupting him.
He knew that Sephiroth needed time to face his heart and time to find answers.
At this moment, Sephiroth suddenly raised his head, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
He seemed to have made up his mind to face his past and find the truth hidden in his heart.
"No, I can't just give up."
His voice became firm and powerful.
"I want to find the answer, I want to know what I am."
The two walked up the dim stairs step by step. The air around them seemed to solidify, and only their footsteps echoed.
They came to an iron gate, which looked very heavy, as if it could withstand all impacts.
There were a few big words engraved above the iron gate: JENOVA. These words were very conspicuous in the dim environment under the green headlight, as if telling some secrets.
"JENOVA..." Sephiroth read out the word, his eyes full of doubts and exploration.
He looked at Chang Wei, as if seeking answers.
"It's my mother's name, is it really this place?"
There was a tremor in Sephiroth's voice, and he seemed to have realized something.
His heart was full of expectation and anxiety, expecting to find the truth, but afraid that the truth would be unacceptable to him.
Chang Wei looked at his eyes and said nothing.
He knew that any words were redundant at this time, and only actions could prove everything.
The two stood in front of the iron gate, but found that the door was locked tightly and it seemed that it could not be opened.
"Do you want to open it?"
Chang Wei asked with his hands folded. An iron gate could not stop the two most powerful warriors.
At this moment, Sephiroth suddenly swung his knife to chop the lock of the iron gate.
His eyes flashed with determination and determination, as if he wanted to chop off all obstacles.
With one knife, the door lock broke and the iron gate opened.
The two entered the room behind the iron gate, and a huge culture tank appeared in front of them.
A figure was immersed in the culture tank. The figure had wings, but his face was covered by a mask, and his true face could not be seen.
Sephiroth stared at the figure, his heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
He felt his breathing become rapid, because he knew that this figure was the answer he had been looking for.
Feeling a strong emotion surging in his chest, he walked towards the culture tank step by step, and each step seemed extremely heavy.
When he walked to the culture tank, he trembled and reached out his hand and took off the mask.
The "truth" behind the mask appeared in front of the two.
A female body was placed in a huge culture tank. This body was connected by countless pipes, which flashed cold light, as if it was her lifeline, continuously supplying energy to her.
Strange patterns and veins appeared on the surface of the woman's body in the culture tank, and they emitted a slightly blue color, as if they were the characteristics of an alien life form.
Those patterns and veins flashed mysterious light under the weak light, which made people feel awe involuntarily.
Although her face was beautiful, she had a strange sense of indifference and alienation, as if she was no longer a human being, but had evolved into a kind of existence beyond humans.
Her skin was as smooth as jade, as if there was no flaw, but her purple pupils were chilling. They were like deep black holes in the universe, containing endless cosmic mysteries that made people dare not look directly at them.
Sephiroth stared at this "monster" blankly, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. He couldn't accept the fact that this woman connected by countless pipes was actually his mother. His heart was full of shock and grief, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.
"Is this... my mother?" Sephiroth's voice was trembling and doubtful. His heart was full of complex emotions, both fear of the unknown and desire for the truth.
He finally understood the mystery of his life experience. It turned out that he was really created by this alien life form. Alien blood flows in his body, and his existence itself is a kind of alien and monster. However, he did not collapse or despair because of this. On the contrary, he felt a kind of relief and relief. He finally found his roots and truth, and he was no longer a rootless duckweed.
The two stood quietly in front of the culture tank, as if bound by an invisible force. Their hearts were full of doubts, fears and uneasiness, but at the same time there was a strong desire for knowledge driving them to continue exploring.
After an unknown period of time, Sephiroth finally broke the silence. He took a deep breath, as if calming his inner emotions.
He raised his head and looked at Chang Wei, with a firm light in his eyes.
"I know who I am. I am Sephiroth. I am a warrior created by JENOVA. But I will not be bound by this identity. I want to be myself and go my own way."
Sephiroth's tone was firm and powerful, and his eyes were shining with unyielding light.
"Besides, no matter what, I have to figure it all out. I want to know my true origins, and I want to know what this monster is all about."
Although he had already seen "Jenovia", Sephiroth still planned to find out everything first.
"Then let's go, no matter where you go, I will accompany you."
Chang Wei said, patting Sephiroth on the shoulder.
