Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 915 Benladann's Trial

Chapter 915 Benladann's Trial

-----

"…What did you learned?" I wondered.

"It was… Ugh, well, you're the one I trust the most, so I can explain it to you, I guess." Benladann said. "It was… I saw the one behind my previous life experiments, Ivan Wesker."

Benladann quickly revealed a big truth to me, what she had seen in her trial was something that had impacted her, and perhaps the reason behind her gloominess after it. I had tried to comfort her however I could, but even then, she still was feeling rather bad. I knew she needed time to process it, perhaps talking about it would help her get over it quickly but she never really mentioned what she went through, and I didn't wanted to force her into talking about it if she didn't felt comfortable about the subject… However, now that she had opened to me once more, I couldn't help but sit down calmly and listen to her words.

"Ivan? The guy that did experiments with you?!" I asked. "But why?"

"It was… complicated and strange, it was so odd… He was asking for forgiveness, and he even said… I was actually his daughter." She said.

"…Eh?"

At the end, Benladann explained everything she saw in her trial. It seemed as if she had awakened memories as well. The entire Trial seemed to be around such un memories that had yet to awaken. In such trial, she learned that this guy… "Ivan" was actually her true father.

Benladann always spoke that she didn't remembered her previous life's childhood, she didn't remember a father or a mother, or anything at all, since she had memory of herself that she was always alone. However, by awakening these memories, she learned she was indeed named Miranda, and that she was the daughter of Ivan Wesker, making her… Miranda Wesker.

She was the daughter of this scientist, a man that studied biology but that suddenly moved towards bioweapon creation research. Apparently, Miranda had once lived as a normal human girl, but due to a cancer in her brain, she ended dying prematurely. This is where… Miranda's memories went away; she had practically died but her soul was somehow still within her body until she was revived.

Indeed, Ivan found the Mold within Africa, apparently, and used it to revive her daughter, whose body had remained within ice. After Benladann was revived, her memories were wiped out. Alongside that, in his search for a way to revive her, her father went insane. Quickly going completely crazy as he experimented no himself using something called the "Uroboros Virus" which enhanced his powers into superhuman levels, turning him into a monstrous creature, the virus seemed to have developed an ego that slowly began to control his own thoughts and emotions, making him become someone alienated with emotions, losing his sanity alongside any hint of humanity left.

Due to such manipulation, he became greedy and insane, having the dream of fusing with his daughter or something… and turning her into a G.o.ddess…. Or something. I am not really sure, not even Benladann was really sure. At that point, Ivan had completely lost it. But he had done it all just for the reason of wanting to revive his daughter and bring her to her former self. Even after being revived, the Mold was wild and monstrous, so Miranda was always near death due to its unstable state. Her father was trying to find a solution to this, trying to find some sort of factor, or anything that could help her fuse better with the Mold so she wouldn't suffer with it.

Ultimately, Benladann managed to escape thanks to the power of the Mold but was caught by the agency trying to put down Ivan, who had done atrocities such as turning several cities into wastelands filled with zombies infected by his bioweapons as test subjects, and other things… Benladann was cla.s.sified as a bioweapon herself, and promptly taken down for the safety of the people. It was saddening, very saddening, in fact. But I guess that was how it ended… I wish I could had been there to help her, to do something for her, to give her refugee when n.o.body was there for her.

Even if she was also somewhat insane, even if she herself couldn't properly understand what was going on… I would had even given up my life for her, I would had shielded her from those bullets even, just so she could run away and survive. But I guess maybe reincarnating ended doing her more good than bad, as she got to meet all these new people, her new family which she loves dearly, and even got to have a daughter with me.

"I see how it is…" I sighed. "I wish I could had been there for you."

"Drake…" Benladann sighed, quickly kissing me. "Don't worry… I… I am glad I was able to talk it out with you… But even now, I am confused, I don't even know what I should do right now. My mind is in complete shambles."

"Makes sense, after hearing all of that, I would had also been rather impacted." I sighed. "I guess you should simply slowly process it. You know that that's in the past, right? You've got a whole life in here right now. Maybe you'll never really met your father again, those problems and more… I guess they're already way past our jurisdiction, we can't really do much about what's happening on Earth, as much as it saddens me to think like that."

"You're right…" Sighed Benladann. "But it still making me think a lot. I don't know sometimes… what to even believe about myself."

"Well, believe that you're precious for many people here, me and our daughter included." I said. "If we ever, somehow, met someone related to you in such a way in the future, I will make everything possible to protect you."

"There's no need to give me such promises… I am already happy enough with you as I am, Drake." Benladann said with a charming smile. We quickly cuddled together and slept, we were both tired.
