A certain trio appeared within a room in the Celestial Palace of the Morningstar World. Two of them unparalleled beauties with different specialties and one handsome bloke who was in a bit of a pickle.
Eva's expression was incredibly gloomy, and one could see hints of Riveting Night appear on her face briefly as her expression twisted back and forth. Shuangtian was also immensely unhappy, but her expression was endlessly cold, full of sadness and anger that caused her fists to grip until they bled.
They were both furious beyond measure. They had been following their plan and performing the tasks that Draco asked them to when they suddenly sensed his peril. From the very moment that Shuro appeared, they had wanted to teleport over to stabilize things, because they could see that the situation was deteriorating.
They were initially just laughing in their shared mental space about the wacky 100th squad, internally debating as to who would get to 'discipline' the rapacious birdwoman Jenna when things switched up. If Draco didn't sense it coming with his foresight ability, how could they?
Eva controlled time and still couldn't always affect her will on the element, even mere True Gods being able to disrupt her bloodline operation. When she tried to peek into the future, she only saw a huge barrier before her that told her that she was currently took weak to try to cross and peek at what was about to come.
She had never felt this blocked and suffocated by mere True Gods, so the culprit could only be one group!
Origin Gods!
True to her fears, Shuro sacrificed his soul and body to the Origin God of the Scimitar, who used his Origin Law as his name. Likewise, 30 other foreign Origin Gods who also used their Origin Laws as their names came over and besieged Draco for almost an entire day.
They beat their beloved husband from the depths of the void near the Wizard Realm all the way back to the Western Fantasy realm, and the distance was long enough that even teleporting took more than a few seconds where it should be instant.
It sounded easy to say, but the entire situation was dire. While they could not harm Draco's life in reality, the Origins Gods easily possessed methods to wipe accounts. The destruction of Draco's current account would be an incalculable loss.
All the memories, the powers, the items... all of it would be gone.
If not for that, why would Draco fight so desperately when he was within a game realm? He had pushed his body to the limit, and the problem was that the two could only watch, because Draco used a portion of his power to block them.
Fighting Origin Gods while using a significant amount of his power to suppress them when they had equal power to him...
If the outcome hadn't been like this, they would marvel that Draco really was a monster. It was no wonder those Origin Gods were full of fear and uncertainty right now, probably going back home to live their days as if it were their last, because they were.
So yes, Eva and Shuangtian were very angry right now, mostly with the Origin Gods. Their hatred boiled and they wished to tear a hole into the void to fight them, but they did not have the control over space that Draco did.
Besides, they had no fucking clue where they lived. Even Draco had to use the War Maniac Pavilion's internal teleporters to get to the headquarters and then the Wizard realm, where he dropped spatial markers to remind him so he could come back on his own one day.
Of course, a part of their anger was directed at Draco too.
There was nothing more painful than watching your loved one suffering, physically or mentally, man or woman. It was especially so since these two women were not very fearful and were rather domineering as well as powerful, so they handled violent issues no different from a male.
Hikari didn't really understand the explanation but she grasped the outcome; there was nothing any of them could do right now unless they could enlist the help of a full Origin God.
Even Semi-Origin Gods wouldn't cut it since both Origin Law and Origin Energy were needed to cleanse this problem.
Unfortunately, while they had ties to many True Gods and even Semi-Origin Gods, the Origin Gods of Western Fantasy were extremely closed off, with Draco only having ever met two, the one for Blacksmithing and the one for Alchemy.
However, they did not know which faction those two belonged to. Given that they invested in Draco back then, they could likely be of the Promotion Faction, but that investment occurred BEFORE Draco got Norma's Legacy.
"There might be a way." Zaine suddenly said after she steading herself rubbing her temples.
After years of continuous random debauchery with Draco, she was imprinted by his essence from top to bottom in ways that passing water over her skin could never cleanse. Her obsession had only gotten worse and she would do anything for him if he asked, no matter how demeaning.
As such, her reaction upon seeing him hurt overrode her usually solid brain, almost making explode in her cranium. Now that she had been rescued by Eva and heard the full story, her brain began working again in Draco's favor.
As all the other wives looked at her, Zaine nodded to them. "We actually have a myriad of options. The first is to try to contact Rila. Even though she had disappeared for our safety, helping Draco is something she likely wouldn't hesitate to do.
The eyes of the four lit up as they solidly believed this to be true. Rila considered herself half-step Draco's daughter, and full as his niece. There was no way she would sit idly by if she knew that this happened to him and with her true Eternal-level power, restoring the current Draco would be a breeze. .net
"What other options do we have?" Roma asked, noting that Zaine hinted at more.
"We can also take the risk of perusing the Divine Dragon Treasury. There are origin items there aplenty, collected by the Dragon race over many millennia, surely there would be healing tools or items." Zaine continued with a shaky smile.
Hikari jumped to her feet in excitement!
She felt this idea was great because she had spent some time in the treasury over the last ten years and saw many amazing things. Not to mention that by now, her son should have completed the Trial of the Crown and become the Crown Prince.
Eva and Shuangtian were first excited then pensive. They liked this idea because it was more solid, but they knew the risks. The last time when they entered and looted the treasury, just taking the Divine Items greedily and sharing it with Umbra as well as their family caused the unmapped zones to gather all their True Gods and invade the mapped zones.
There had even been Semi-Origin Gods among that group. If it weren't for some clever tricks by the Evil Trio in forcing them to be summoned to the Divine Realm to fight the grey rot, forget Umbra unifying the world, they would have been beaten into a corner over these past ten years.
If they touched an Origin item, not even Semi-Origin, what kind of response would the AI pull to follow its rules?
However, thinking this far, the faces of the two became vicious. If the AI dared to step in their way, they would simply go to the headquarters in reality and smash it to death, to hell with this game!
Bitch, if you dare to claim that you have some affection for Draco, look the other way just this once, or forever forget about being a part of this family, rules be damned!
