However, the moment Shangtian died, his soul was pulled over by Eva. Even though she had not been paying attention to him, she still subconsiously noticed when a soul form appeared nearby and put two and two together, grabbing it before it could dissipate.
Once she noticed that it was Shangtian soul, Eva's eyes narrowed. A cruel smile appeared on her face as she immediately released Abyssal Energy from her Mother of the Abyss branch, which infected Shangtian's soul and began to warp it.
Once more, Shangtian was subjected to EVEN WORSE pain than before, this time only the soul level. He couldn't scream audibly, but the group could 'feel' his cries from the side and could tell that he was currently in a terrible spot.
Eventually, the brownish soul became black and ugly, looking like an aberration of its previous form. What Eva had created was a Rotting Soul, the lowest form of soul related aberration from the Abyss.
There was nothing special about it, just a lost soul that was corrupted by Abyss Energy. Usually, Rotting Souls were formed through two means.
One was that a soul would be killed by an Abyss monster and be tainted by it, turning into a Rotting Soul. The other was that one's soul would be consumed by an Abyss monster through their body or through some means, and then digested and excreted. The excreted remnants would form a Rotting Soul.
Eva had used the first method because it was directly more painful, but less humiliating. Now, Shangtian had been reduced to the lowest level of Abyss monster, something that was ranked lower than even manure.
A fitting end.
Eva tossed the Rotting Soul to Shuangtian, who was rising out of her pod with a wondrous expression at her changes. With almost inhuman reflexes, she caught the soul without even looking, only realizing what she did after the fact.
The trio were shocked by Shuangtian's peerless reflexes, as not even Shangtian was this good. Even more shocking for the Evil Duo was that Shuangtian was clearly crazily expanding a mental domain, which meant she had instantly unlocked Control upon regaining her pure blood!
By the size of her domain, she had at least reached Tier 4 okay? That was just one Tier below the current Evil Duo!
Not only that, but her bloodline purity had shot straight up to 99%!
One should know that it was only until Draco and Eva mated and shared their bloodline source that they had reached 99% by perfecting each others deficiencies. It was also what strengthened their overall bond to make them almost 1 unit, as well as why their branches were always thematically opposite yet similar.
However, she did not breakthrough 100%, which was normal. To do that, she would have to give birth to a child with Draco, and only upon birth could she take advantage of the child's immense power and limitless potential to break the shackles.
Still, Draco and Eva were terribly satisfied with Shuangtian. Not only was she beautiful and almost impossibly sexy - surpassing Zaine, Roma and Hikari in all their strengths - her talent was unparalleled and her affinity with Pangu was incredibly high.
Then again, she had been practically raised by Pangu himself, so it kinda made sense.
Shuangtian held the Rotting Soul of her cousin and her eyes flashed. She wrapped it in her own bloodline power, which was of the Primogenitor Inheritance, and used the Rotting Soul as a core to form a giant golem twice the height of herself which was made of black obsidian and had ruby red eyes.
Eva's eyes also flashed. My God, this Shuangtian girl was not only talented but brilliant. Unlike the thief Local Dork who could only create Golems of the four elements, Shuangtian had used the Rotting Soul as a medium to directly create an Abyss Golem.
The more Eva looked at Shuangtian, the more she fell in love with her. She must absolutely capture Shuangtian into her little sister group and dote on her!
Seeing Eva's burning and covetous gaze, Shuangtian couldn't help but blush.
"Errm, Eva, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Call me Big Sister Eva. As for why, it's because you're an absolute darling and your talent is amazingly high. I'm excited to just know someone like you, much less be a sister wife in the truest sense." Eva replied with a happy smile.
Shuangtian blushed further as she felt Eva's growing fondness, but she also took a deep breath and calmed down.
"About that… I am grateful for your help and consider myself as one of your allies and family, and I also understand the intentions of Grandpa Pangu and the others... but I can't just do it right away without getting to know Draco first, though I feel like I like him a lot."
Shuangtian spoke quickly and with a guilty expression, as if worried that she would make her new… friends? Family…? Unhappy.
However, Draco and Eva shared a look and smiled with satisfaction.
"No one's asking you to bend over right away and I wouldn't even disrespect you like that by asking for it. Every man likes a woman with standards, but dislikes women who act unnecessarily difficult as if bedding them is some legendary achievement." Draco explained calmly.
Eva walked up to Shuangtian and patted her shoulder gently. "I myself only learned this recently after merging with Draco's mind. Men are only complex when it comes to the things they like and their interests, but relatively simple everywhere else. Basically, their line of thinking is pretty much 'If it's too easy, there is no value. If it's too hard, there is no need.' You just have to find the right balance of the two to get the best results."
Eva gestured. "Come, and follow me. I need to teach you some things and show you some other things. I mean to show things like Boundless and the events of the previous timeline."
Shuangtian felt relaxed seeing that they were not angry and even supported her. She also took the advice form Eva seriously also opting to follow her because she seemed to reliable and motherly.
However, she curiously looked at Draco who was standing to the side with a smile.
"What about Draco?"
Eva's eyes shone strangely. "Oh him? He has a promise to fulfill. There are three young women waiting for him who have sacrificed a lot for one chance to express and experience their feelings, so I gave them permission."
Shuangtian's face changed, but she thought to her own position and her assertion she made just now and felt like it wasn't exactly her place to speak up. As such, she quietly followed Eva along while her thoughts grew rampant, and a burning feeling of discomfort grew in her chest.
After all, being repeatedly told she would be one with Draco when she had long taken him as her property, especially upon seeing him in reality. However, if Eva didn't speak about it and even seemed to encourage it, she would seem petty if she complained now.
Eva seemed to see Shaungtian's thoughts but didn't do anything to stop it. Even now, at this time, only Evaterasu and Riveting Night were cool with this. The Young Girl Eva part of her was just like Shuangtian, perpetually unaccepting and uncomfortable. Alas, she was overruled by majority.
Eventually, they would all come to understand and accept. Besides, even Young Girl Eva couldn't argue against the trio who Draco was going to meet, for she also knew just how much they deserved this.
Shuangtian didn't have that history, so it seemed casual and immoral to her, but that was fine. Context would come in time after Eva sorted her out.
Eva led Shuangtian to the room where their special pods were. There, Eva saw that Lucitera, her darling baby, had long exited her pod and was reading something while floating in mid-air using her psychic power.
The just-born toddler seemed to be engrossed in whatever she was reading, but instantly discarded it with an excited cry as soon as she sensed her mother's presence. She flew straight into Eva's arms like a bullet, causing the Celestial Beauty to light up with a bright smile that even Shuangtian felt her heartbeat.
Wow, her Big Sister was just so beautiful! It felt like looking at her could soothe all of one's pains and suffering, turning depression into bliss and joy.
Eva gently rubbed her cheek against Lucitera's soft face, making the toddler laugh.
"How's my little girl?" Eva asked lovingly.
"I'm bored Mama. I wanna play with you and Daddy!" Lucitera whined complacently.
Eva wore a doting and indulgent smile on her face as she kissed Lucitera on the cheek.
"Don't worry, my baby, Daddy is going to do something important and will be back to play with us soon. In the meantime, come and say hi to your new auntie."
Eva brought Lucitera to where Shuangtian was standing and watching the interaction with a slightly envious expression. Which mature woman didn't want a sweet and cute little baby to dote on?
"Say hello to Auntie Shuangtian. She is going to be your new mama along with me. We are both in love with your Papa and will marry him." Eva explained their situation as best as she could.
Lucitera sized up Shuangtian and her eyes lit up. What a pretty Mama, even nicer than the ones in the game!
As such, Lucitera directly greeted Shuangtian. "Hello Mama Shuang, you are very pretty!"
Shuangtian, who had spent her entire life in pain and misery, felt as if this was the crowning moment of her life, even moreso than when she just regained her bloodline. Her heart melted at Lucitera's cuteness and she even felt mushy.
"Thank you darling, you're also very cute. I hope we can become a good family together." Shuangtian mustered up the courage to say while still being somewhat shy.
"Okay, so Mama Shuang will soon give you a brother to play with, but that brother will also be your future husband. Are you excited?" Eva revealed to Lucitera with an amused smile.
Lucitera seemed puzzled. "Mama, I know what a brother is, but what's a husband?"
"A husband is like your Papa Draco to me. I am his wife, just like Mama Shuang." Eva explained patiently.
Lucitera's eyes gleamed. "Oh! Oh! So just like Papa! Okay!"
Eva was not entirely sure that Lucitera had understood that properly, but she felt that the little one would eventually understand once she grew older.
After settling down her child, Eva made sure to sit opposite Shuangtian as she spoke gently.
"Shuangtian, I'll need you to lower your mental defenses. What I am about to share with you is my condensed knowledge and experience from Boundless, the source of our origins, and the update on my and Draco's existences."
"There's quite a lot in it, so you'll need to have a clear mind. Luckily, you have Control and are quite powerful, so it should be a piece of cake for you." Eva summarized as she smiled at Shuangtian.
Shuangtian also nodded and closed her eyes, relaxing her mind and thoughts in preparation for what Eva was about to do. Eva also didn't waste time, connecting with Shaungtian's mind easily.
Out of respect for her new sister-wife and not wanting to offend the Pangu avatar who likely resided somewhere in her mind or soul, she directly transferred what she needed to without rummaging around.
Besides, Eva was certain she didn't want to accidentally tread upon the memory of Shuangtian suffering at the hands of her family all her life, especially the excruciating one when she was but a mere infant.
Soon, she successfully transferred everything and opened her eyes, leaving Shuangtian to digest everything. Her attention returned to Lucitera who was gazing at her mother with adoration, pleased that her Mama was just so beautiful.
As Draco had always said, one could never get bored looking at Eva, for there was always a new aspect of direction to her fascinating perfection that you could discover.
And speaking of Draco, he had teleported from the Central Country's GloryGore Labs back to China's Purgatory safehouse, with a goal in mind.
It was time to complete something he had been putting off for a long time!
