The Eternal Family

Two black eyes met in the air, Valeria\'s and Harry\'s, they looked at each other and everyone held their breaths. There was a palpable amount of disbelief in Valeria\'s eyes, whereas, Harry\'s was just confused.

"What was that all of a sudden?" Harry muttered, his voice stunned. It felt as if he had a boulder weighing on his head for a brief moment.

Valeria\'s eyes flickered for a second and she came out of her daze… but she still kept looking at him like that for quite a long time.

Emma and Lilly were silent.

Even though Emma knew what had just happened, she lacked in-depth knowledge, whereas, Lilly was just as confused as her brother.

Feeling the silence, Harry asked his grandma who was seated above his pelvic area, breaking her out of her pondering, "Grandma, tell me, what was it in the end?"

He could see she was stunned and Emma was also surprised, not to mention, even he felt as if something had changed. But he couldn\'t tell what.

Breathing out to lose the tension inside her, Valeria looked straight into Harry\'s eyes and said, her voice laced with intrigue, "Absolute Harmony."

"Absolute Harmony?"

"Yes," Valeria said, her old heart thumping gently inside her, "Absolute Harmony, a state that people reach, rarely, reach when their Gift, Ambition, and everything Harmonize."

"…" Harry looked at her with a dazed look, "What?"

"Harry, I will tell it to you in more detail, but before that," Valeria said with a bit of urgency, "What were the thoughts you had just before your mind went blank?"

Silent for a second, Harry said, "It was thoughts about how Family was such a nice concept."

"Always remember that thought. Just do so."

Harry nodded with a frown and looked at her for answers.

Nodding, she began to explain, Lilly and Emma listened from the side, curious and focused, "Many don\'t know this knowledge, Harry. But all of us at Stage 5 are well aware of this fact. The fact that all Gifts have a goal. For example, my Gift, I came to realize its goal once I reached Stage 5. Its goal was to create a Human with the memories and experiences of people with all kinds of life around the world, to absorb memories from all around and force it on someone to make a normal man into a genius," she paused, "And, completing this goal is a major part of achieving the impossible; reaching the legendary stage 6, Awakening."

Harry turned even more confused, "You mean all Gifts have an End-goal that you have to fulfill after Stage 5?"

"In a sense," Valeria looked at Lilly, "For example, her gift is a Gift that has been passed down through the royal blood for generations now, and in the words of the previous Great Gifted with DreamWalker, its end goal was to turn Illusory into real. And Like that, each Gift has a deep-seated goal. But it is rare for people to know it, especially before they reach Stage 5 and have full control of their Gift."

Lilly frowned heavily, thinking about the way she had reached Stage 2 some days ago, it was completely different from that goal.

"So Absolute Harmony is?" Emma asked from the side, she knew about these things already, even though she didn\'t know her own Gift, [Jade Transformation]\'s end goal.

"Absolute Harmony is a rare phenomenon that happens to some extremely lucky people," Valeria looked at Harry and continued, "it happens when a Gift\'s end goal is the same as a Gifted\'s ambition. What happens then is… their goals and the Gift\'s goals align, they harmonize."

"…no way," Harry muttered under his breath, he hadn\'t told them his entire thought process earlier, actually, the Ambition he had in mind was more…complex.

"So what is the use of Absolute Harmony in the end?" Emma asked, wanting to know her son\'s true benefits.

Valeria shook her head, "I don\'t know that. Only he can know that and he will know that once he uses his Gift again, after all, at the moment, it is like he and the gift is one, it will be quite easy for him to find its answers now."

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Her eyes then brightened, focusing on Harry\'s eyes, she spoke, "That is the most interesting part. People with Absolute Harmony are rare, so I don\'t know much either. Try using your gift."

Harry, his sister, and his mother awkwardly blinked. "It is a gift that can\'t be used whenever I want."

"What is your Gift, Harry?" Valeria asked, curious.

Harry pondered whether to reveal everything, it was not like he didn\'t trust her enough to keep his Gift a secret. He just had some things weighing on him regarding her, like the reason she didn\'t look after Emma well and let the King even come near her.

And he was averse to speaking about his secrets to people who he didn\'t have complete and utter confidence on.

But he was quite sure she was trustworthy atleast, after all, he had been keeping an eye on her when he was testing her earlier. She might lie, but his Emotion Sight won\'t.

Her Emotions were in the right place.

He was sure the First King had nothing over her either, since it was right, how can a master of the mind be cobtrolled?

She was a Stage 5 with a mind type ability after all.

So making his mind up, he began to tell her everything about his Gift, Lustful Absorption.

Everything he knew at least.

Valeria just listened with disbelief. Absolute Harmony on a Stage 1 was rare, but it wasn\'t unheard of. There were many with Harmonized Gifts even in the Academy, But Lustful Absorption?

It was an ability that was game-changing. It was impossible.

Of course, he didn\'t speak a word about his system, or she would have been too stunned to even stutter.

That will only happen once and if he was sure about everything regarding Valeria.

And he didn\'t talk about the clone either, that was his hidden card.

After all, it was a jaded tactic to keep such cards hidden till the last moment. But of course, if it was just Lilly and Emma here, he would have spilled some beans.

But he had a feeling, he wouldn\'t regret putting his trust in her for once.
