Chapter 805: Lucitera

Draco sighed. “Let’s just say that after listening to you, I managed to put two and two together with the help of Eva. The implications are frightening to say the least.”      

“Oh? Please share.” Amaterasu, who had been silently watching up until now, prompted with a curious glance.      

Draco then told them what he knew and suspected, and by the end, the faces of the two Original Humans had changed greatly. Lucifer was naturally filled with fury at the insubordination of the Pangu Lineage, while Amaterasu almost cried for the young girl who had suffered all her life.      

“Insolent! INSOLENT!!! How dare mere sub humans harm a true human? No, how dare descendants harm the body of their own ancestor?!!! Animal behavior!” Lucifer roared as he flung his arms about in anger.      

“I know, right! Those fellows must be dealt with, and with our newfound power, it’s time to make sure they pay a strong price for their actions!” Draco agreed and echoed assertively.      

“Exactly!” Lucifer also assented before calming himself down.      

“Anyway, that’s only what should occur due to the changed circumstances. What we’re here for is to not just tell you about the girl, but also to inform you on what exists on the planet you reside on.” Lucifer then changed the topic as he folded his arms behind his back.      

“You may know of the Primordials we’ve hinted at last time, and you may have possibly encountered them, but we are here today to warn you that you should not get into conflict with them easily. Not if you care about the sub human race, at least.” Amaterasu added with a smile.      

“We have met them and have plans to deal with them. We assume them to be the ones who have sucked up all the natural energy our planet should have had, leaving it practically barren. What’s more, they seem to be the cause for the barrier surrounding Earth that prevents new Spirit Energy from entering.” Eva stated with a frown.      

Lucifer and Amaterasu showed expressions of shock. “They did what?!”      

Draco nodded. “Everything Eva said. Civilization has stopped treading the martial and magical path. We now live in an era paved by science and technology due to the manipulation of the Primordials.”      

Lucifer frowned deeply. “But I was going to tell you right now that we predicted something along these lines and decided to seal the Primordials in various locations in the world. If we sealed them all, then who executed what you’re talking about and why?”      

Amaterasu tilted her head in confusion. “After all, if they had the power to do all that, why not just directly wipe out the sub humans? Why go to such lengths but remain hidden until now?”      

Draco and Eva shared a look and pointed at the Original Human duo. “Well, that’s easy to answer, it has to be because of you guys.”      

Lucifer and Amaterasu also shared their own look and pointed to themselves in confusion. “Us?”      

“That’s right. You left this planet with the intention of never coming back, so you made various preparations and decisions that fully buttressed that. However, those Primordials are not privy to your plans, so they can’t be sure if and when you’ll return.” Draco explained with a casual smirk.      

“So, rather than completely burn the bridge and harm the foundation, they took a roundabout method to slowly weaken humanity while they observed and waited for your potential return. If I were them, I would have set a time period and once the time is up, I would act under the assumption that you won’t be back.” Eva reasoned while folding her arms.      

“When that happens, it’s apocalypse time for us.” Draco finished as he rubbed his chin.      

Lucifer and Amaterasu were left speechless by this. They had not really considered that because their goals and issues at the time they left had been vastly different from what anyone could imagine. They had been heading up for revenge after feeling they had accumulated enough power and control over their bloodlines to give the Gerdo Galaxy a grim reminder.      

The last thing on their mind had been Earth and such deep calculations. Everything they had done, had been to leave behind a seed of hope that could take up their banner in case they fell. Even tying up the Primordials had been done to prevent them from affecting the birth of the Evil Duo.      

“So you plan to aggravate them?” Lucifer asked with a questioning look.      

“Not if they voluntarily cough up what they rightfully owe us. The Worldly Energy they sealed away as well as the Spirit Energy has far too much value and versatility to us.” Draco explained calmly.      

“Do you have the strength to take them on?” Amaterasu asked deeply.      

“Before, when we were at 99%, maybe not. But now that we have achieved perfection and become our own Progenitors, it should be possible once we explore the depth of our powers.” Eva responded with a confident smile.      

Hearing this, Lucifer and Amaterasu decided to no longer say anything. Instead, they acknowledged that their little clones had become capable on their own and didn’t need them nagging in their ear.          

As such, they both smiled warmly. “It’s great to see you two so strong and confident. We’ll leave everything in your capable hands and shall take our leave for now.”      

There was an emotional look in Amaterasu’s eyes. “This is the last time we’ll be able to meet like this for a long time. Please stay safe and continue to rely on each other. You are at your strongest when together.”      

Draco and Eva also felt slightly dismayed when they heard this, but they were not too bothered. As long as there was a chance to meet again, there was no need for tears and drama.      

Rather, the Evil Duo simply bowed to their ‘Seniors’ as they slowly disappeared, returning them to the white containment room where Eva had just given birth.      

They saw that nothing had changed really, their baby was still lying in Eva’s arms while giggling stupidly about something. Seeing their cute and happy spawn, both Draco and Eva’s heart softened as love filled their entire being.      

Eva gently caressed and tickled her child’s nose, while Draco stroked her tiny hair. Unlike most babies who were born with their eyes closed and their scalp bare, it was clear that this child was simply built differently.      

The child not only had unique features not suppressed by baby fat, but their eyes were bright and full of life. Draco and Eva could sense their power brewing within the child and knew that this baby could erupt with powers equaling both of their peaks when they had been at 99% combined.      

This kind of power was below their current minimum output, but it was something far beyond what anyone else could bear. Speaking of their current power, Draco and Eva were curious to explore the depths of it, but now was not the time.      

They had to settle in their child and make sure everything was proper before even thinking of mediating, much less invading anywhere else. Even Draco’s plans to ‘raid’ his clan had to be put on hold for now.      

Amber soon walked into the room while rubbing her temples, a slight smile on her face as she watched the couple pamper their newborn.      

“Congratulations, you have a healthy baby girl.”      

Draco and Eva were surprised. They hadn’t known the gender of their child yet, because the little tyke had spawned with black and white baby clothes on. Now that they knew it was a girl, Eva kissed her cheeks gently, while Draco felt his throat go dry.      

Oh no, it was a girl.      

While it was great that he could pamper her, that still meant that someday, some evil bastard like him was bound to take away his little princess!!!      

No… NO! Draco was not willing! He would not let any despicable fellow take away his baby girl! She would always be his!      

Hehe, look at how indignant and desperate the fellow felt now!      

Did he ever bother to spend so much as a single second to think about the fathers of all the women he had defiled? To put himself in their shoes, and how they felt about their little darlings falling into his evil fuckboy clutches?      

Fortunately, the world was fair!      

Every fuckboy who settled down would definitely raise at least two daughters with his wife, so that one day he would be bound to experience the same pain he had once inflicted on others!      

Eva didn’t see the big deal. With how cute their little darling was, she would be able to charm the most handsome and premier blokes, so her partner would also be outstanding. As long as her baby was happy and satisfied, she was fine with anything.      

The two formed a contrast, one filled with hope and care, and the other filled with despair and gloominess.      

Amber couldn’t help but chuckle, but her mirth died down when she looked at Eva with the baby. Immediately, endless jealousy filled her, wondering when she could be the one holding a baby for Draco just like that.      

“You two should stay here for a few days, so that we can run some tests. Once we’re sure you can all safely coexist outside, you’re free to go.” Amber instructed as the room spawned another pod for Draco and the baby.      

“Not to mention, we have to re-scan your bodies down to the quantum level. Still, the good news is that now nothing should stop you from advancing to Rank 4 and above as you wish, as the biggest hurdle in getting there had been calculating how to allow to break through 100%.” Amber added after she guided the family into their various pods.      

Draco looked at the tiny pod for their baby with surprise. “I remember that the pods only supported up to toddlers currently, right?”          

Amber gave Draco a look. “We’ve had 9 months to research and prepare for this. Of course, we’ve developed something special and unique just for your child.”      

Hearing this, Draco coughed and blushed. That was a dumb question, the type asked out of emotion rather than logic. However, he couldn’t help but be worried, seeing how his little princess was about to be placed in her own pod.      

Eva too was anxious, but she hid it well, believing that the AI wouldn’t harm them after all this. Besides, their daughter had the raw power to destroy the entire Inner World if something bad happened to her, much less them.      

Rather, the AI letting three such unstable and dangerous powers exist safely so close to its core was a sign of trust on its end, so how could they start doubting it?      

Usually, that was how life worked. If you always thought about people’s actions with yourself as the center, they would always seem sketchy and suspicious. Maybe they wanted your body, or they wanted your money?      

However, if you spared a thought to think from their point of view, or simulate their POV in your mind, you’d often find that some things are really much simpler than just that.      

The trio settled in their pods, even the baby, who was gazing at everything with curiosity and no fear. Even though she was separated from her parents, they were close enough that she could reach them if she desired, so she didn’t feel the least bit scared.      

Rather, she was a bit amused and excited at mimicking what her parents were doing. Seeing her so happy, Draco and Eva smiled at her. The Evil Duo shared a look and then spoke with solemnity.      

“Her name?” Eva asked for Draco’s opinion.      

“She’s different from all the rest. She is a pure combination of you and I, of Lucifer and Amaterasu. As such, let’s name her… Lucitera?” Draco suggested after he pondered for a bit.      

Eva was surprised. “Heyyyyy… that’s pretty good!”      

Draco nodded with pride. “What did you have in mind? Mine is just a suggestion, after all.”      

Eva smiled gently and revealed her plan. “I was going to use the same naming scheme as you, but focusing on us rather. As such, her name would be Draeva.”      

Draco rubbed his chin. “That is not bad at all, but Draeva sounds like the name and an ancient evil god who had been sealed for hundreds of years and is now here for revenge. Whereas Lucitera sounds like the name of a benevolent Elf or Life element Goddess.”
