"And what about you guys? What laws did you get?" Draco asked his other family and in-laws straightforwardly, and they naturally shared their details with him.
His father had the Law of Hellish Demon, his uncle the Law of Brutish Demon. Lilith had the Law of Transient Mind, Fyre had the Law of Serpentine Supremacy and Isabella the Law of Dynamic Mind.
Akihito had the Law of Divine Decree while Kiyoko had the Law of Bright Creation. Litian possessed the Law of Supreme Strength, Bingtian had the Law of True Ice and Fengtian possessed the Law of Supreme Wind.
Antonio didn't have a law since he joined Boundless recently after being picked up by Draco while Bingtian was Shuangtian's biological mother who had been revived after the seclusion had began for a while.
It turned out that bringing her back to life was harder than the Evil Trio thought because the woman burned her soul, fate and existence in order to safeguard the infantile Shuangtian during the bloodline extraction process as a baby.
They had to turn back time, safeguard the past, prevent the woman's soul from burning out to save Shuangtian - the event needed to happen or time would be messed up - while also making extra carefully sure not to leave any trace whatsoever on time otherwise they would fuck up big time.
It actually required them to plan and think, while also being their greatest and most efficient use of their collective power so far since they had joined together to form the Evil Trio.
Bingtian was surprisingly stern and valiant much like Shuangtian, she was a tall bronze skinned woman with fierce eyebrows and a tall frame. She was not as crazily voluptuous as her daughter, but she was definitely akin to a warrior queen with her hair braided into a single ponytail that reached her legs.
The moment she returned, the arrogant and fierce Litian became like a meek cat that was under control, while Fengtian seemed to be much more relaxed with his capable daughter-in-law back.
Most importantly, she was incredibly fond of her daughter who she hadn't had the chance to see grow up, so most of Shuangtian's time these ten years was spent with her mother. The two of them jointly handled more than 60% of Lucitian's education and upbringing, causing him to default to a Chinese cultural view and disposition.
However, unlike Zaine or Lilith, Bingtian and Shuangtian did not spare the rod. Inf act, they firmly believed that if a child was wrong, they would become correct after a few strikes with the cane.
In that regard, Draco and Litian shared knowing looks since the mother and daughter were basically the same in their general outlook on life. It had done wonders for their bonding as father in-law and son-in-law to have to deal with the same domineering, strict wife.
Likewise, Akihito and Kiyoko had, coupled with Eva, formed most of Lucitera's upbringing. That was why she viewed herself as Japanese and even dressed more in line with the culture than Kiyoko or Eva themselves.
Not to mention that Kiyoko and Eva were soft and gentle, so Lucitera was not as whipped as Lucitian who had been made into a good boy aside from his dad. However, for the most part, Lucitera was just like her mom, trying to be a benevolent goddess but she couldn't resist causing trouble for her dad because he was so cute.
These crisscrossing relationships also affected everyone slower growth in terms of class and now, their selections of what they would take to become law.
Draco was about to continue when he noticed a strange fellow by the side.

Still at the same tier it had been 10 years ago, but that would no longer be the case. After all, they had gathered all the necessary resources to upgrade the pantheon in spades, so it was time to rise up!
「System to Player Announcement

Begin? Y/N」
Draco chose to make the upgrade. Apart from the 10,000,000 Aether Coins and 500,000 faith energy, everything else remained in place. Immediately, the Divine Church began to glow with a bright light, causing a small-scale explosion in terms of shockwave in the area, pushing back everyone.
Divine Energy from around surged over and was absorbed by the church, causing its form to rapidly expand from that of a small roadside chapel into that of a well-established church that even had a small Sunday school by the side.
Physically, its size had doubled and its splendor had greatly increased, with the original picket fences growing to form a sturdy concrete wall around the church, preventing infidels from easily gaining access.
Draco also noticed that the gate was wide open, as if beckoning them to step inside to observe the changes for themselves. However, there was no need to as a system announcement did that for them already.
