Chapter 658 – The Floors Of Reflection – End
"Well, that was lame. I was hoping to connect with you all on a fundamental level, so I could summon you out later, but you're all so weak! I might as well summon bugs instead!" Draco sighed with lament.
Asmodeus fell to his knees, his joints weak and his arms like spaghetti. Eva pointed to him with interest.
"Oh, he's about to break down! This should be good."
However, luckily for Asmodeus, Draco stopped there. He waved his hand at the fellow and gave him an order. "Resume your duties for the day. But before that, explain to me why the hell you are both a Demon Lord and the Devil's Aspect of Incubi?"
Saying this, Draco entered his Devil Form and waved his hand to summon the Devil version of Asmodeus. When the two saw each other, they were shocked since the resemblance was uncanny, just that one looked similar to Draco as a Dark Angel and the other as a Horned Demon.
Rather than this, Eva by the side was extremely curious as to why in both Inheritances, Asmodeus looked so close to Draco's true form than all others. Eva formed a theory of her own the moment she saw him and voiced it out.
"It's likely that Asmodeus was Lucifer's first attempt at creating a clone." When his Soulmate said that, the entire place froze. The two Asmodeus looked at her like they were seeing a monster, while Draco seemed to have been enlightened.
"You're close… actually, we were just styled to be the closest to his image and type in order to take charge of those two Inheritances for his future descendants. He couldn't create one for the Dragon version because that was his main gimmick, and it was too powerful for even him." The Devil Asmodeus answered hesitantly.
Draco nodded in understanding. Even he, with a much weaker version, had a tough time dealing with his Serpent God Inheritance. If it wasn't for his Soul Black Dragon, he would never have gotten things so easily.
At Lucifer's scale, it must have been far crazier and definitely more intense.
"Alright then, you two can go back to doing your own things. The Goddess and I have work to do." Draco said insipidly as he desummoned the Devil Asmodeus and left the Nine Hells with Eva in tow.
Draco opened his eyes to see that he was still on Eva's bed, with the Celestial Maiden beside him. The two of them gazed at each other with a smile before they both heard intense slurping sounds.
They looked down to see that Zaine was tonguing Eva so furiously that even Draco felt his balls tingle, only to see that Roma was currently deepthroating his dick with an intoxicated expression.
These two lovely caramel-skinned beauties looked like they were enjoying their act of perversion more than their 'victims'! Amused, Draco and Eva let them have their way, filling Zaine and Roma up with their juices.
The Abyssal Prime then captured the two of them and turned them into bloated cumsacks during the next few hours as 'punishment', leaving them spurting semen like fountains in Eva's bedroom as the White-Haired Duo left and returned to the castle.
It was time to speedrun the rest of the Floors of Reflection!

What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
Well, Draco and Eva were batshit crazy by that scale, but they still made more progress than before.

Another 9 days of their lives gone. Haa, if they weren't under time dilation, Eva might have spat out her baby right here and now.
｢Draco's power-up: (27th-28th floor)
1. Swordsmanship – Peerless Sword Style, Sword Skill 901-1,000 had been completed, adding the newest Advanced element, Ice. Draco could also happily celebrate reaching 1,000 arts within this new set. However, he was only about halfway done completing it, so he couldn't close it yet.
2. Subjective Magic – Draco got some ideas from his battle in the Nine Hells and pursued a new avenue of magic casting: Channeling! He wanted to absolutely stuff spells with energy beyond their limit in order to overcharge their effects!
3. Control – Base physical damage increased to a total of 90%. Gigantifying a part of his body was much faster and less messy in high-speed battles, not to mention that if he could absorb enough energy, he could expand another part!
4. Class – "I used to be trainable like you, then I took a bloodline to the knee."
5. Psychic – Now, Draco began working on taking on his Dark Angel True Body. It was only this bloodline that he could not transform into the True Body on his own, which was quite embarrassing.
6. Demon – Now that he had visited his Nine Hells and given his Demon Lords there a good 'talking to', he began working on summoning them to fight alongside him, starting with Belial.
7. Dragon – Draco had finished optimizing his Dragon form and all that jazz. So what was there to do? SUMMON ANOTHER DRAGON! ADVANCED MANIFESTATION TECHNIQUE, GOOO!!｣
｢Eva's power-up: (27th-28th floor)
1. Assassin/Stealth – Riveting Night cycled through the five fundamental skills of the Extreme Killing Techniques she had refined using all her experience and power.
2. Divinity – Her Time Stop could now hold a single foe for 60 seconds and a group for 30. At this point, it had peaked, so there was no longer development on it. Her Spatial Banishment was now at 70% effectiveness overall.
3. Control – Eva had reached basic mastery of this new technique she called "Atomic Disruption". Out of 100 attempts, she could now succeed on 55 of them, which was above the halfway point, hence why it had reached basic mastery.
4. Class – "I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing!"
5. Psychic – Eva also decided to stop with the shallow techniques and work on her Light Angel True Body. This form was the epitome of beauty, able to turn any man into a dog that would worship her.
6. Goddess – Eva did some investigation into the whole eldritch bit and found that her Abyssal Eye only worked at full power if she switched to Riveting Night, as her mindset and aura were the most compatible ones.
7. Light – Eva attained the microwave level of the light spectrum. If she fired a microwave light at you, you wouldn't light up in a blaze, no. It was far worse and more brutal. It would boil all the liquid in your body at once, vaporizing it and you.｣
Now that they had more efficient goals to work towards, they were actually quite motivated.
Then again, who would pass up a chance to kick their own asses?

HAA! HIYAH! BRRUMPAH! WAAKPOW!
… is what it would have sounded if everything wasn't summarized and the original 20 chapters for these 10 floors could have been written!

｢Draco's power-up: (28th-29th floor)
1. Swordsmanship – Peerless Sword Style, Sword Skill 1001-1100 had been completed, which added the opposite of the previous advanced element, Magma. Who would have guessed that being sliced with a blade coated in lava was not on anyone's bucket list?!
2. Subjective Magic – Channeling was likely Draco's single greatest idea yet. Because he had fourfold energy gathering, he could surpass the limits of the typical Mage God at Rank 3 and overcharge a spell till it reached what he assumed should be Rank 5 standard. However, the charge up time was abysmal.
3. Control – Base physical damage finally increased by 100%. Henceforth, Draco could no longer augment his physical power, so he decided to work on his flow of blood.
4. Class – "Classes die when they are killed."
5. Psychic – Draco finally attained the Dark Angel True Body! He looked the same as in his Devil Form, and his power was far greater than he imagined. He could only maintain the form for a total of 1 minute at this point, though, so it would need serious work.
6. Demon – Draco had found that summoning Belial was easy and his current energy allowed him to bring Belial, Zagan, and Balam to the battlefield without overclocking his bloodline inheritance. The three, like Eva's Angels, could absorb external energy to keep themselves going, making them a semi-permanent fighting power.
7. Dragon – Draco had extreme difficulty managing to synergize with his summoned Black Dragon while he himself was one. Well, that wouldn't be the case if they didn't spend half the battle TRYING TO FUSE LIKE THEY WERE IN DBZ!!!｣
｢Eva's power-up: (28th-29th floor)
1. Assassin/Stealth – Riveting Night had begun to incorporate energy into her techniques. They were built using all of her powers as a foundation, but now that they were buffed with Worldly and above energy, their damage output and utility were frightening.
2. Divinity – Her Spatial Banishment was now at 80% effectiveness overall. Eva began focusing on Time Accel and Time Reversal, both on her enemies and on herself to give her fighting power a huge increase.
3. Control – Eva had reached full mastery of Atomic Disruption. Out of 100 attempts, she could now succeed on 85 of them. She also noticed that the strain on her mind when using Control-based techniques had reduced greatly.
4. Class – "This world is a wasteland."
5. Psychic – Eva also achieved her Light Angel True Body, which was essentially her with eight angelic wings, a holy light surrounding her body, and a scepter in her hand that radiated purity. In this form, Eva could cleanse the evil of the masses… for about 1 minute.
6. Goddess – Riveting Night decided to further develop the Abyssal Eye, using the techniques like Izanagi, Izanami, and Susanoo in conjunction with the eldritch transformations.
7. Light – Eva went back towards the Ultra Violet side of things and began working on the nearest light type on the spectrum, which were X-rays.｣
After this, they rested for a little while before jumping into the last and final floor of the set, the grand finale of the Floors of Reflection!
｢The Thirtieth Floor – Divine Quest

Here they spent the most time fighting since they had begun, as this was their last chance to hone their various powers. They spent a whole month here working on their various forms, bringing whatever they could to perfection before stopping.

And their progress for it was maddening. The duo had reached a level of power that made them unparalleled within two Ranks, even without relying on their Divine Classes.
｢Draco's power-up: (29th-30th floor)
1. Swordsmanship – Peerless Sword Style, Sword Skill 1101-1300 had been completed, adding more than one element to the fold. Both the Explosion element and the Sound element had joined the fray. Megumin might actually leave Kazuma for Draco at this point.
2. Subjective Magic – Channeling had been worked on until Draco could gather enough energy to buff a spell to the limits of Rank 3 in 20 seconds, the limits of Rank 4 in 1 minute, and the limits of Rank 5 in 5 minutes. This may seem long, but it was unprecedented to jump Ranks with things like this.
3. Control – Draco chose to work on bloodflow because it had a myriad of effects. He had now created a Control-based passive healing factor that anyone with above Tier 3 Body of Godliness.
4. Class – *sob*
5. Psychic – After a lot of work, Draco had finally forced his Dark Angel True Body to last the entire 10 minutes that the other forms could, since he had spent more time on it. He couldn't get to work on summoning his Devil aspects in this fight because time was going, so he would have to do this manually.
6. Demon – Draco had already mastered summoning for the Horned Demon True Body like Eva. Now, not only could he summon all 9 Demon Lords at once, but they could use their full range of their abilities using Worldly Energy alone.
7. Dragon – Draco now could merge attacks with his summoned Black Dragon. He realized that all he had to do was connect their mind with his psychic power so that they were in total sync. Two Black Dragons for the price of one! No enemy of his would want to buy that for obvious reasons.｣
｢Eva's power-up: (29th-30th floor)
1. Assassin/Stealth – The Extreme Killing Techniques had been fully perfected and closed off. Death Walk, Veil of Worlds, Ethereal Clone, Dagger of Death, and the Vanishing Technique. Eva could now teach the set to others as a skill if she acquired the Scrivener Tradeskill too.
2. Divinity – Her Spatial Banishment was now at 100% effectiveness overall. Doesn't matter who you are, anyone under Rank 5 was going to enjoy a lovely trip to Brazil. Eva's Time Accel reached a speed of 3x while her Time Reversal reached 2.5x, though this was for combat.
3. Control – Eva had reached perfect mastery of Atomic Disruption. Out of a hundred attempts, she could now succeed all of them. Now, most VoP techniques were spammable because of how crazy this new technique expanded her brain.
4. Class – *Deep sigh*
5. Psychic – After achieving the Light Angel True Body, Eva also spent most of her time working on it, so it could reach the level of the others, able to last 10 whole minutes. She, too, was not able to work on summoning out Aphrodite, Ishtar, and the like, but would be able to on her own if she trained.
6. Goddess – The Abyssal Eye Technique had been her most consuming Inheritance back in the day, but now, it consumed the least since the Eldritch forms also learned to absorb their own energy from outside.
7. Light – Eva had achieved X-Rays, which allowed her to view the internals of most species as if she was Superwomen, not to mention that when used as an attack, it seared away the flesh from the bone, only leaving the skeleton behind.｣
Draco and Eva appeared in the castle once more, not as tired as the first time, but certainly looking a bit overwhelmed. In these 147 days (4.8 months) they had progressed more than they had ever since they had gotten reborn.
Possibly, only the strain of when they had merged their bloodlines during their first intercourse could rival this level of power. They didn't increase in grade or acquire anything new per se, but had rather refined what they had already possessed and had brought out their talent to the fore.
The two felt accomplished and proud… alas, there was no one to boast to. This left them dissatisfied and cranky, so they decided to desecrate the Tower's castle by throwing the vilest sex marathon that lasted 7 days nonstop.
The amount of DNA they both left around was enough to form an army of babies. Speaking of that, Draco reminded Eva that they had some matters to deal with in the Inner Universe.
While they were in the Tower, they had picked up some 'captives'.. It was time to deal with such beings and their fate.
