Chapter 133: 133
Draco frowned after he heard this . Why did it sound like the only reason Lucifer even bothered to create them was so they could have a child? Was he going to open his dog mouth and utter some garbage like 'now that you have fulfilled your purpose, you can die' next?
However, sensing her companion's unhappiness, Eva gently rubbed his back .
"Forgive us, Lucifer may have been a bit too blunt, but what he meant to say was that we wish for a second life without influencing your own . I am not sure if that makes sense, but we don't regard you as clones or some backup plan . " Amaterasu's face lightened as she spoke kindly . "You are our ideal selves . A mirror image of us that is capable of accomplishing the dreams we harbored without the shackles that came with our birth . "
Lucifer coughed and continued from here . "Yes, perhaps I was a bit improper . Basically, while inheriting the various aspects of the races that attacked us has allowed us to gain unimaginable powers, it came with a few detriments as well . "
"To you we may seem like Gods, but the truth is we are just overpowered children . We have so much untapped potential and power which is wasting away because we are unable to figure out how to properly use it . " Lucifer sounded depressed at admitting his own flaws .
Draco and Eva shared a look of shock before their minds comprehended what they had just been told .
It should've been obvious from their explanation . Just look at Draco himself . The fellow had lived the entirety of his life not knowing he even had a bloodline, so after he unlocked it, he naturally didn't know what to do with it .
He could only utilize instinctual techniques, yet every move he made wasted a huge amount of energy .
These 9 Original Humans could be described as chimeras of different species meshed together, though they retained the mind and knowledge of a human . Since they hadn't grown up or received training from those enemy races, how should they know their techniques?
To use another example, it was like suddenly receiving Excalibur . It was an almighty and all-powerful sword of legend, but if one only knew how to swing it like a bat, one would still be cut into pieces by a swordmaster using a normal sword .
Draco felt like it made so much sense . This one admission also cleared up a few of his other questions .
Firstly, why would the 9 Original Humans need to worry about seeking revenge on those enemy races if they had all their powers combined? If one considered the issue of numbers, then it would make sense for the 9 humans to have fostered the Lineages, so they could have soldiers for battle .
However, they didn't take any Lineage members along, indicating that the Lineage members were either too weak to contribute, or that their contribution wouldn't change anything significantly .
The probable answer was that the 9 Original Humans weren't disadvantaged by numbers or power, but by skill .
Draco inhaled deeply as he pondered over this . If this was true, then these 9 Original Humans had become too powerful . They were damn lucky that the universe was a unique existence that was self-contained, otherwise they would have been struck to death by the heavens .
It shouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the Gods of the Universe at this point .
And yet, Lucifer claimed they were so utterly unskilled that their prowess had been far from what it could be . . .
This brought Draco to his second question, which was why then had they bothered to create the Lineages in the first place? It seemed like a stretch to assume that everything happened to eventually create Draco and Eva .
Though this may have been Lucifer and Amaterasu's plan what about the other 7? After all, while the sub-human DNA was extremely useful for genetic engineering, it would dampen the power of the descendants .
Take a look at Draco and Eva .
They had been mixed with sub-human genes despite being the most perfect replicas of their originals, yet the power gap between them and the two opposite them was so wide . Not to mention that the Lucifer and Amaterasu before them were projections from a few centuries ago .
The only logical answer seemed to be that the Lineages were created as a form of a home base . The purpose should have been to increase the average power of the sub-humans as well as have them do research on means to improve their genetic abilities over countless generations .
Yet this argument seemed a bit wonky when one took into account that they had left the planet instead of staying to harvest the fruits of their work .
And going by that, one could guess the story behind Local Lord too .
Amaterasu took over . Her face became serious as she spoke this: "We left this message to inform you of many things . The first is the most prudent, which is in regards to your future child . I beseech you, the two of you must absolutely not have more than one child . Even though nothing in the universe can stop you from having more, you have to understand that with your power, such children may be too powerful . "
"Your firstborn on its own is something that no one can foresee . As I stand here, I can honestly say that I cannot fathom just what abilities your child may possess . Raising such a child will take all of your time and more, so increasing the count will make your lives more difficult than it should be . "
Draco and Eva shared a look once again .
Truth was, they never considered having more than one for a similar reason . They didn't need Amaterasu to say it, they understood the ramifications of their act . Draco's plan after learning about the Lineages had always been to have only one child in the real world . Then, he could foster quite a few in the game world .
An army comprised of descendants who were mixed with his bloodline and various other notable species - like Dragons, Phoenixes, Elves, Angels - would be a force too horrible to imagine .
Lucifer picked up from there . "Another thing we wish to entrust to you, is to take care of the sub-humans . They might seem like bumbling idiots to you, but with enough time, we predict that they shall grow to be a force that may become strong enough to subjugate the galaxy . "
Draco and Eva nodded . Since these two left a few centuries ago, they would probably be slack-jawed to find that the sub-humans had progressed so far that they were inches away from interstellar travel .
"Finally, you should beware of the non-human species in this world . When we came to this planet, we changed the topography and evolution of it, but some entities existed here long before us . Under the ground and in the skies exist many things that would boggle the mind . "
Lucifer shook his head slowly . "At least, make sure you have a strong grasp of your abilities before you venture out into the unknown . To us, they were too weak to waste time on . To you, they might pose as great hurdles until you achieve perfection . "
Draco was shocked . So, he was right! There existed a myriad of lifeforms in the world!
Eva wasn't as startled . The Lineages had long speculated some things as well . They had yet to find concrete proof, but they seemed to be onto something .
"That's about it, I guess . There's a lot more we could tell you and we're sure there's a lot you want to know, so this won't be our last meeting . Please keep your own safety paramount above all else, you are too important to be lost . " Amaterasu said with a light smile, as she and Lucifer faded away .
. . . . . . . . . … . .
Draco and Eva woke up to find that they were still connected to each other intimately, although it was clearly deep into the night . Draco could feel his member pulsing in Eva, as his bloodline energy and some more of his bloodline source had flowed into her w . o . m . b .
Eva also felt her bloodline energy drain constantly, though the rate was much slower compared to Draco's . Her loss of bloodline source was much weaker since the child would be grown in her body, so the deductions could be made over time .
Draco pulled out of her and fell beside her on the bed . He reached out and brought Eva's spongy and lithe body into his embrace, cradling her like she was the most precious item in the world .
Eva relaxed herself onto Draco's chest, her breathing turning shallower and gentler . She felt sleepiness overtake her as she bathed in the afterglow of their connection . Additionally, there was now a zygote which was draining her energy constantly .
Draco himself felt extremely tired . Unlike Eva who lost a little at once and continued to do so, he was charged a huge amount of energy in one burst . Just keeping his eyes open became a difficult task .
He sighed as he allowed the exhaustion to wash over him, closing his and sensing his consciousness slip away into dreamland .
. . . . . . . . . . .
When Draco woke up, he noticed that his body felt extremely weak and appeared malnourished . It was like he had starved for weeks on end, which shocked him . How could he go from his perfect and well-built shape to this? He was a Control master, who required little to no sleep, so it was impossible that he had been out for that long .
Draco searched for Eva and saw that her lithe body has also turned extremely skinny while she slept, her face locked into a mask of discomfort . Immediately, Draco woke her up gently .
Eva came to groggily, her eyes bleary and fatigue evident in her movements . However, when she discovered the state of her body as well as Draco's, all her tiredness was beaten back .
"We need to consume as many 1st Grade NuSmoothies as possible . They are our best bet to recover from this state rapidly . " She suggested solemnly while getting out of bed .
Draco frowned and followed her, reaching out for another set of clothes . "I agree, but where can we get some on short notice? I also don't really have enough personal funds to legally purchase them yet . "
Eva smiled and pulled over one of her suitcases . She opened it, revealing the contents . Not a single dress in sight, instead it was filled with a couple of gadgets, some cold weapons and the rest was filled with rows and rows of 1st Grade NuSmoothies .
"You tell me . " She replied cheekily .
Draco could only laugh and spank her tight butt lightly, making Eva giggle in response .
Draco uncorked the cap of the bottle and gazed at the purplish liquid within . He had obviously seen and drank many 1st Grade NuSmoothies back when he had reached his optimal power during his past life .
As such, he downed the liquid in one go, marveling at how easily it slid down its throat and how wonderful it felt once it hit his belly . Let's not even mention the taste, it was literally the best feeling one could ever get when it touched the tongue .
Eva had drunk the damn thing almost her whole life, yet she never got sick of it . That should say enough about how heavenly it was .
Draco couldn't help but cry out in pleasure as the NuSmoothies got to work in his system, instantly filling him with life and energy . He felt his weakened body - which felt like a deflated balloon - fill up with power and potential .
However, one wasn't enough .
