Transmigrated as a Fat villain: All heroines are after me

Chapter 21: Chapter 21 - Alex Father's Decision

The forest, shrouded in twilight's embrace, bore witness to a tragedy of profound proportions.

Alex, once the epitome of strength and power, now stood as a shadow of his former self, his eyes aflame with anger and sorrow.

The relentless pursuit of his precious Sister Lily, had pushed him to the brink of madness.

The pursuers, driven by fear and misguided intent, closed in on Alex and his beloved sister.

But he wouldn't let them harm her, not after everything they had endured.

With a roar that echoed through the ancient trees, he ignited his cultivation, a life's worth of power burning like a beacon of vengeance.

As he lunged at the pursuers, his red eyes reflected not just anger, but infinite sadness, an abyss that threatened to consume him.

Each swing of his fists or blade, every burst of energy, brought pain and despair to those who dared approach.

Amid the chaos, Alex's thoughts raced. He remembered the day Lily was born, her unique 'Chaos Physique' filling their lives with both wonder and trepidation.

Her very presence absorbed mana from the world around her, weakening those nearby.

It was a power she never asked for, one that made her an outcast among their own people.

His thoughts turned to his father, a man who had once been an epitome of strength himself. But despite his power, he couldn't protect his own daughter.

The decision to send Lily to ?the Chrintain Valley?, a place filled with mana and outcasts like her, had torn their family apart.

His father believed it was the best place for Lily to live a safe life, away from the world that feared her abilities.

But Alex had misunderstood, thinking his father was throwing Lily into banishment and making her life hell.

The tears welled up in Alex's eyes as he thought about his mother, a demon with whom his father had a strained relationship.

It seemed like their family was destined to be torn apart by the very powers they possessed.

But right now, none of that mattered. His focus was on protecting Lily, his precious sister, the one he loved more than anything else in the world.

The anger at the pursuers who sought to harm her fueled his every move.

The battle raged on, and Alex's strength seemed limitless. He didn't care about the consequences; he would do anything to keep Lily safe.

But then, in the midst of the chaos, he found himself face-to-face with the one person he despised the most - the man responsible for all of this, the man who had taken Lily away from him.

This man, a figure of immense power, was none other than his own father. The shock of this revelation briefly shattered Alex's rage and gave him pause.

He couldn't believe that his father, the one who had raised him and taught him everything he knew, was behind the pursuit of Lily.

But there was no time for sentiment now. His father was equally formidable, his strength on par with that of an Immortal King.

The clash between father and son, fueled by anger, hatred, and sorrow, was inevitable.

As their battle reached its climax, Alex's resolve deepened. He would do whatever it took to protect Lily.

Slowly, he began to burn his life force, channeling his energy into a final, desperate surge of power — In a world where he couldn't have his sister, his life felt meaningless.

His father, realizing the desperation in his son's eyes, hesitated for a moment. But it was too late.

Alex's life force burned brighter, and the man's eyes widened in shock.

In the end, it didn't matter who they were or what they had once meant to each other. All that remained was a father and son, locked in a battle of wills and power.

And as the flames of Alex's life force consumed him, his father, with a heavy heart, made a choice.

With a swift and deliberate strike, he incapacitated his own son, bringing an end to the violence. The forest fell silent, the echoes of their struggle fading into the night.

In the aftermath, as the fog of battle cleared, the truth remained a bitter pill to swallow. Alex lay unconscious, and his father, standing over him, couldn't help but wonder if he had made the right choice.

Their family, torn apart by powers they couldn't control, faced an uncertain future, one that would forever be marked by tragedy.

As he stood there, overlooking the abyss where his daughter had disappeared, the man whose strength was akin to that of the Immortal King felt a solitary tear escape from his left eye.

In that tear, held the weight of sorrow and the depths of helplessness.

'Forgive this incompetent father, Lily. I hope you will find a better father in your next life, my dear'

The man's once-proud demeanor crumbled, replaced by a profound sense of loss. He had been willing to make difficult choices, believing they were for the best, but now he was left with the haunting realization that he might have lost both his children in the process.

He had been a heavenly figure, capable of feats that could bend the very laws of nature, but in this moment, he was just a father who had failed to protect his own.

His heart ached with the weight of his decisions, and the tears continued to flow as he grappled with the pain of losing his precious daughter.

In that solitary tear, the man's regrets, his love for his children, and his desire for a different outcome were all encapsulated.

The cliff's edge seemed to offer no solace, no answers, only the unforgiving darkness of the abyss below.
