Is the Graveyard Dominator an enemy?

Hearing the reminder from his soul, Leon couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback, and hurriedly asked:

’Can you be sure? Is there a problem with the Graveyard Dominator himself, or do both he and the "Dead Donkey Alliance" with the Star Suspension Dominator have issues?’

’Father, what is the Dead Donkey Alliance?’

"???"

Listening to the curious inquiry from the soul and seeing the eyes in front of him suddenly appearing a little "childish", Leon was stunned for a moment before he reacted and asked somewhat helplessly:

’Has the other you gone back just now?’

’Yes.’

The little baby blinked and said:

’After Aunt Emma asked the question, she gave me two fruit candies and then told me to call the other me over there to go back and quickly finish today’s homework.

But the other me over there has already eaten candy today. Aunt Emma said children can’t eat too much sugar in a day, took the fruit candies back, and told me to come back and ask you for them... Father, did I get tricked?’

"..."

I don’t know if you got tricked, but you don’t even have teeth now, so fruit candies are definitely out of the question...

’It’s not really being tricked; children shouldn’t eat too much sugar...’

After explaining the reason for not giving candy and promising to exchange it for other sweets later, Leon, eager to know about the "prophecy", asked:

’Can you call him back for a while? I also have things to ask him.’

’I don’t think I can...’

Upon hearing Leon’s words, the little baby’s face showed a troubled expression, and under Veronica’s pat, he shook his head slightly and said:

’The me over there is just one of many me’s, but there are so many of "me", it’s easier for him to find me alone, but the connection is lost after going back, like... like... emmm...’

’Like a drop of water returning to the ocean, indistinguishable?’

’Ah yes! That’s what I meant!’

After receiving Leon’s supplement, the little baby, who didn’t have a large vocabulary, happily nodded and then seriously said:

’It’s just one me returning to many many me’s. If I change to those older me’s, maybe then I could find him out again, but I’m still too young now and can only look one by one, which would take a very long time!’

Alright then...

After receiving the answer, Leon sighed slightly and asked, without much hope:

’Then how about your future self? Can you let your future self come back just once?’

’I’m still too young to contact the more far-off me’s, though I can reach the closer ones, but they don’t want to switch with me.’

The little baby sighed, a bit helplessly, and said:

’The future me’s think it’s too boring to switch since I can only be held now, not only can’t play football, haven’t even learned to crawl. Only those doing homework are willing to switch with me, but I must help them complete the homework first...

Father, I feel those future me’s seem very bullied by homework, so is homework some terrifying monster? Scarier than those demons Aunt Melanie talked about?

"..."

This... hard to say specifically... but in your Aunt Melanie and Uncle William’s eyes, homework is indeed a trillion times scarier than demons.

Using the simplest language possible, barely explaining the meaning of homework to prevent his scared son from developing a psychological shadow of disliking school, Leon, having failed to seek "prophecy," decided to solve family issues first, thus reached out to gently embrace Queen Veronica’s waist, and carefully asked:

"By the way, Vinny, has the child’s name been decided?"

"Not yet."

Even though Heart Lake was already a sea of jealousy, the Queen’s Majesty was ultimately reasonable, understanding that this wasn’t Leon’s fault...

Or although it was his fault, it wasn’t the fault of the present Leon in front, so getting furious over it was somewhat unreasonable, thus she glanced at him full of resentment, leaned towards Leon following his strength, then gently shook her head.

"I discussed several times with Anna before, but didn’t have any good ideas, so ultimately decided to wait for you to come back and let you, the father, give him a name."

"I see..."

Upon hearing Veronica’s relatively calm response, realizing he barely passed the test, Leon couldn’t help but secretly let out a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to the little baby in Veronica’s arms, curiously "private chatting":

’I suddenly thought, you probably already know your name, right? Why not just tell Veronica? Why wait for me to come back to name you?’

’Father, I don’t understand what you mean?’

The little baby blinked in confusion at the words.

’Didn’t you still haven’t named me? Why would I know my own name?’

"???"

Startled by his counter-question, Leon asked in confusion:

’Since you can reach many of your future selves, shouldn’t you also know your name?’

’But I need you to name me first, then I can know my name.’

’Yet those future you’s are already after I’ve named you, shouldn’t they know what name I’ve given you?’

’The future me is also me, if I haven’t gotten a name, why would they have one?’

"..."

"..."

After staring blankly with his son spouting nonsense for a while, Leon slightly shuddered, as if suddenly understanding something, his face showing a quite odd expression, then couldn’t help but glance guiltily towards Veronica.

"?"

Watching Leon, who remained silent with the child staring at big eyes and little eyes for a long time, Queen Veronica couldn’t help but frown, asking worriedly:

"What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the child?"

"No..."

Shaking his head swiftly, Leon, who had a vague suspicion in his heart, stared into the little baby’s clear black eyes, testingly continued asking:

’I ask you, is it that if I haven’t named you yet, then all of you, including your future selves, those of you from other timelines, and those of you from other timeline futures... none of these you would have a name?’

’That’s right.’

If this is the case... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

His suspicion confirmed from the side, Leon couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his expression turning complex as he asked:

’So... am I also "special" like you? Although I’m not yet, my future might be?’

Probably due to the topic being overly abstract, surpassing the little baby’s comprehension ability, he blinked confusedly, his mood slightly saddened as he shook his little head.

’Father, I don’t understand what you’re saying.’

’It’s alright, I think I already understand.’

Seeing the little baby’s face full of adorable confusion, Leon tightly squeezed his hands, first let out a long breath, then leaned in to touch his forehead, subsequently looked up towards Veronica nearby and suggested:

"Why don’t we call him..."
