"What? Your daughter?" both Ricky and Soar exclaimed in shock as they were dumbfounded by the Holy Three-Saber's words.
As the Holy Three-Saber waved his right hand, the power on the altar completely disappeared, and the three-colored coffin opened. Shifting their gaze to that direction, Ricky and Soar saw a teenage girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, lying inside the said coffin.
The girl was in a beautiful pink dress. She had long dark hair, with a face that seemed to be carved jade. With her pink pouty lips, it seemed that everybody wanted to kiss her.
"Everyone, this is my daughter—Hannah Mu!" The Holy Three-Saber introduced her in a soft voice, as if he never wanted to part with his daughter.
"Hannah Mu? Why is she there? What happened to your daughter, sir?" Ricky asked politely.
"During that time when I got head to head with some of my enemies in chaos, she was hit and got seriously injured. She was dying at that point, so I used my divine power to protect her. I wanted her to live and not lose her last gasp," the Holy Three-Saber narrated.
"For the past numerous years in the Divine Manor, my mutant has been refining Treasures from Heaven and Earth, obtaining energy and merging divine power, in order to nourish her.
It was not long ago when her condition became a bit stable. She is out of the woods now and out of harm's way. God is kind to me!"
A mutant could not weep. But if it did, then the Holy Three-Saber would have filled his eyes with tears by now as he spoke about his daughter.
"Sir, if she's all right now, then why don't you just wake her up from her sleep?" concerned, Ricky asked.
"The way she got her wounds were just too cruel. If she knows that I am already dead and that I no longer exist, she would want to take revenge for me. And that is something that I do not want her to do," the Holy Three-Saber said. "I just want her to live a long and happy life, and have a future without hatred.
And that's why I've taken out all her past memories from her brain and put them in the palace on the right."
"Okay, I see. Now that I already know what happened to you, from now on, we will look after Hannah and treat her like she's our younger biological sister. And by that, we swear that no other creature, nor human being could ever hurt her unless Soar and I have already been dead," Ricky said seriously after figuring everything out.
He swore by his words, and this was his promise to him.
"Thank you very much to the both of you," the Holy Three-Saber said as he expressed his gratitude upon hearing the promise of the two buddies.
"Sir, the opportunity you have given us is already valuable enough for us to sacrifice our own lives. How can we ever fail to do this for you as payback?" Ricky said.
"Ha-ha, it seems that I should feel quite lucky that you two have won the final victory." The Holy Three-Saber then burst into laughter.
After all, he had known enough about Ricky and Soar's characters through how they had passed the two trials.
"Sir, just now you said that you drew out Hannah's memories and put them in the palace on the right. So you mean to say...?" Ricky then asked again.
"Although I want her to be happy all her life, she still has the right to know who she is. Therefore, when she becomes a holy being at peak state, you can return her memories to her," the Holy Three-Saber answered.
"Okay. I completely understand, sir." Ricky nodded in agreement.
"Sir, if I guess this correctly, then I assume that your daughter is also a mutant owner?"
"Yes, indeed. What she has is the mutant called the Wonder Spatial Mutant," said the Holy Three-Saber.
"Wonder Spatial Mutant? What's that?" Ricky and Soar muttered under their breaths.
"It is a kind of mutant that is related to space. You will know more about it and how it is when she shows it in public," the Holy Three-Saber whispered. "But first things first, I will help you control the Divine Manor!"
Suddenly, the three sabers on the altar merged into a gust of saber-shaped power which directly infused into Ricky's Soul Sea.
