“What is this?”

He waited in anticipation for the results. Yet, in the end, not a single human-like feature appeared.

The smile froze on Bernal’s face.

Why did this happen?

Is this normal? Or is this only an exception?

He looked at the huge, strange octopus-like creature before him.

Bernal began to wonder if it was his fault or if this female Night Bat Ape was broken and could no longer be used.

As Bernal pondered, the new life that just came into this world seemed to sense his disdain, and it looked a little miserable.

Several tentacles flopped, and the bat wings on its back drooped.

Upon seeing this, Bernal had mixed feelings.

“Although it doesn’t look good, it didn’t die immediately. It even has some intelligence. It feels like I’ve succeeded, but it also feels like I didn’t.”

Compared to the failed product he had disposed of previously, the new life in front of him that was still tenaciously alive and had even displayed a certain amount of emotion and intelligence should be considered a great success.

However…

Bernal was deep in thought. He scrutinized the strange creature.

It is too ugly.

Also, why an octopus’s body? Even if I’ve strayed slightly from the human race because of the contract, I’m still human now!

Why is my child an octopus?

To be precise, it was an octopus with a pair of ape arms, bat wings, and a human face.

It was very strange. If an ordinary person saw this, the timid ones would probably be frightened to death.

Strange indeed!

Placing his finger on its forehead, Bernal dragged his chin and tilted his head in thought.

“Should I just get rid of it?”

Upon hearing this, the little guy’s tentacles began to move restlessly.

Its reaction piqued Bernal’s interest.

“Oh? You clearly don’t understand, but you seem to be able to understand what I mean?”

“No, it’s probably because my senses are too sharp. Interesting.”

Looking at the little guy wrapping his fingers and acting spoiled, Bernal suddenly felt that it was not that ugly.

After some thought, Bernal gave up on the idea of dealing with it.

“No matter what, you’re my first child. I’ll let you off first.”

However, if he did not deal with it, his arrangements for the offspring would become an issue.

If he brought it with him, what should he say if his parents asked?

Say that this is my pet?

Or should I admit that this is my child?

No matter what, the child could not escape the fate of death.

Bernal was a little helpless as he looked at the little guy who began to play with his fingers.

“If you were better-looking, I wouldn’t be in such a dilemma. What’s the use of having you!”

The little guy seemed to have sensed Bernal’s intent, and its eyes turned red as tears welled up.

“Don’t look at me like that.”

Looking at the pitiful little guy, Bernal finally gave up on the option of abandoning him.

“Fine, you have to be good. If someone finds you, then you have to get away from me as far as possible. I won’t want you anymore.”

If he placed it in his black current and released it when no one was around, it should not become a problem.

After some thought, Bernal decided where the little guy was going.

Bernal’s interest was piqued as he looked at the little guy who seemed to be at ease.

The killing intent in his heart increased, but he did not express it. He just stared at the child quietly.

The next moment, the child immediately became teary-eyed again.

The tentacles wrapped around Bernal’s fingers, and its hairless ape arms hugged Bernal’s fingers tightly, not daring to let go.

Seeing this, Bernal gave up on the idea and thought of something else.

The little guy’s reaction changed instantly. It was first relieved, then focused on playing with Bernal’s fingers.

Amused by the little guy’s interesting reaction, Bernal finally accepted its existence.

He wondered what it would look like when it grew up.

Although it was born from the Night Bat Ape’s uterus, the little guy was only the size of a palm.

Therefore, although it was not pretty now, Bernal found it more and more pleasing to the eye as he looked at it. He found it ugly cute.

“I’ll give you a name first. A name is important.”

No matter what, it was his child. Although its appearance was not great, it must have a cool-sounding title.

“Although it’s not good-looking, it must have a handsome name. Got it!”

No matter what, it was a descendant of an Evil God, and his real name was still important.

At this moment, Bernal began to recall the books he had read in this world.

The knowledge learned from the two worlds flashed through Bernal’s mind at this moment, providing him with some suggestions.

Bernal thought for a moment and looked at the little guy.

The little guy seemed to know what was going on as well. It was actually looking at Bernal with anticipation.

“I’ll call you Calhemus. I remember it’s an ancient word from a book I’ve read somewhere. It has the meaning of controlling the raging waves. You better not disappoint me.”

The moment Bernal confirmed its name, the little guy, no, Calhemus, had sensed something and seemed exhilarated.

As the tentacles waved, faint noises of crashing waves sounded.

Crash!

Right at this moment, Eva’s voice sounded in the courtyard.

“Bernal~”

“Where are you? Bernal~”

Bernal looked up in surprise. He turned in the direction of the voice.

“Mother, and Father, they’re back so soon?”

Looking at Calhemus, Bernal summoned the black tide to suck him in.

“Be good and stay here, alright?”

“Woo!”

Perhaps because of the name, Bernal felt that it became more intelligent.

At this moment, he didn’t have much time to study it in depth. He kept the night bat ape that was lying on the ground.

Bernal stood up and took the completed picture book from Alia.

“I’m here!”

After confirming that there were no mistakes, Bernal took the initiative to walk to his parents along with Alia.

When Bernal stood in front of Eva and Moss, he saw an unfamiliar figure beside them.

“Come here, Bernal. Let us introduce you to Mage Kulenna from the capital.”

Seeing Bernal’s gaze, Kulenna took off his magic hat and bowed to Bernal.

“Greetings, the young master of the Nielson family. It’s my pleasure to meet you.”

“Hello..”
