chapter-1175
Draco remained a silent observer as events unfolded, granting those with words the opportunity to express themselves without interruption. Of course, those brought back were not limited to the friends and family of the core members. Everyone who had unjustly died during the Lineage wars as well as those who had been hunted down by Pangu members after splitting had been ressurected by Xela.
Of this group, a large amount belonged to those from the 3 branches that had completely broken off from the Lineage after that event. After being informed about what was happening now, their expressions became complex.
While it was true that the Lineage had greatly disappointed them, it was also a fact that their leave had weakened an already crippled Lineage, further preventing them from banding together to repatriate Draco at a young age and rather being picked off one by one in isolation.
At this time, Eva, Shuangtian, Dante and Lilith came down from the back area and entered the clan hall. Their eyes shone with mirth and happiness, especially since they had learned so much and were being treated well by their wonderful daughters-in-law.
When Dominic saw his brother hale and hearty like nothing had happened, he was first shocked then ecstatic. He had long seen his brother's state deteriorate and after reflecting on his actions back then, all he was left with was guilt and shame.However, Dante looked him in the eye and told him he had done nothing wrong, which caused Dominic even more pain. He himself had been reborn after Draco increased all their purities and had returned to his youthful self.
Dante walked straight up to his brother and bumped chests, a simple action which resulted in a small shockwave due to their increased powers. Dominic and Dante couldn't help but perform their old handshake while laughing, joy in the eyes of both men.
Fyre and Lilith were stunned to see each other, especially since they both looked as young as they had when they last met. The two sisters did not say anything, Fyre was the one to embrace her younger sister and the two of them held each other tightly while tears flowed from their eyes.
"Thank you so much, Elder Sister, for looking after him." Lilith eventually whispered amidst her sobs.
Fyre tightened her embrace and sighed internally. "…You've suffered enough, Lilith."
Isabella saw the tear-filled Lilith and felt worried. However, Lilith, noticing the stare of the other, smiled at her and hugged her as well. Isabella was too shocked to react, but after a few seconds passed, she became extremely emotional. Not a single day had passed in these past 20 years without her blaming herself for her actions back then, even though many felt it had been justified.
Now that the biggest obstacle to clearing her self-hatred had forgiven her and even treated her as family, Isabella couldn't help but feel light as a feather.Eventually, after Draco felt that enough time had passed, he waved a hand, causing everyone to become silent as all eyes focused on him. His eyes roved over everyone calmly as he announced his decree.
"Henceforth, there is no longer a need for intermarriage within the Lineage. As long as I am around, our bloodline's purities will always be at the limit of what your bodies can handle."
"Henceforth, there is no longer a need to confine ourselves to Italy as an ancestral land. I shall create a special spatial pocket world for our Morningstar Lineage to relocate and will serve as our main base. We will also create sub-bases in every country around the world."
"Henceforth, the Pangu Alliance is no longer our mortal enemy, as we've already their ringleaders. We will select members of our group to replace the leaders of the other Lineages and bring unity to the 9 Lineages once more."
"Henceforth, every member will be required to play the game Boundless World and use it to increase their bloodline control as well as turn the power within the game into reality. There will soon be an age of prosperity and chaos coming, and it will be up to us to steer humanity into the light."
Draco stood up and after a pregnant pause announced. "That is all."
He teleported out of the clan hall with Eva and Shuangtian in tow, causing everything to release a pent up-breath. His existence alone reminded of them of their dark history, yet it was his limitless power that made them all feel akin to mice standing before a snake.
Dante, Lilith, Dominic, Fyre, Gremory and Isabella were similarly teleported out of the hall while everyone was left behind to sort out their own issues. The group who was taken away appeared above the cloud, the sun beating down on their skin due to their height above the earth.
Despite having to face the Evil Trio, none of them were startled. They all knew that Draco had called them for a purpose.
"Regardless of personal feelings or strife, you are the closest to me in the clan by blood and by affection, so I hereby appoint you as the Supreme Elders. This comes with the responsibility of managing the clan's affairs and seeing that they adhere to my edicts." Draco explained calmly.
"No problem, you can count on me and Lilith." Dante replied immediately with a nod.
"Isabella and I won't disappoint you." Dominic said right away with a smile.
Gremory though, skipped over. "I don't wanna be a Supreme Elder. I also don't wanna work. I wanna be the Supreme Princess everyone can pamper me!"
Eva and Shuangtian giggled while Dominic and Isabelle blushed with embarrassment, Dante and Lilith had amused expressions while Draco's forehead creased with black lines.
This won't do, his cute little sister would become a spoiled brat if he indulged her! He had to harden his heart!
"Pretty please big brother?"
Gremory used "Puppy Dog Eyes".
It's super effective!
-99999999!
Draco gave in.
"…fine, Supreme Princess. However, you will come and live with me from now on so I can take care of you, okay?"
"No problemo!" Gremory was naturally pleased by this as she had planned to stick close to Draco anyway.
Draco coughed to hide his embarrassment and to bring attention back to the issue at hand. He breathed out and channeled a large amount of bloodline energy into his Space branch, eventually resulting in the creation of a large pocket realm the size of a small country.
He then nodded to the others and took them into the empty pocket realm which was only a void of Space. Draco turned to Eva and Shuangtian who also wrecked their magic, Eva establishing a time flow within the pocket realm to match and synch with reality while Shuangtian created a landmass for the people to live in while supplying the pocket realm with its own laws of heaven and earth.
Inside this pocket space were natural elements, flowers, animal life, air and sunlight. Those would perfectly manage its own ecosystem, making it livable. Without all these, only those with special physiques like the group or spatial powers like Draco stood any chance to survive in there which was counterproductive to its purpose.
"This will be the pocket realm for the Morningstar Lineage henceforth. Its location is adjacent to the planet but not on it, so the only way to enter it is to either possess our bloodline or to have a special key which I will give to you to decide who else can enter." Draco explained as he showed the group around.
Dante, Lilith, Dominic and Isabella marveled at the scope of Draco's power, wondering what his limit was. At the same time, they complied and paid attention to his instructions, promising to handle everything for him.
Draco nodded and then teleported out of the realm with Eva, Shuangtian and Gremory. When they next appeared, they were in the Purgatory Group's headquarters, which caused Gremory to marvel as she looked at the rows of pods around.
"Summon all core members out of Boundless immediately." Draco gave the instruction to one of the workers in the company building, who immediately issued the special command.
The Evil Trio plus Gremory then waited in the lounge area while Gremory asked questions about Boundless. The trio answered her while waiting or everyone to assemble, and it didn't take long for this to occur.
Everyone looked puzzled and excited that they had all been summoned because it usually meant a big operation was about to launch. Draco did not waste anyone's time and sent a memory package straight to their minds containing everything that had occurred during their visit at the now Morningstar Lineage as well as his decision regarding the future of the world.
When they processed everything, many core members had varying expressions. Those like Misery, Kiran and Luke felt relieved, because their middle grade Lineages had always been in a precarious position due to the conflict between Pangu and Lucifer as well as Amaterasu.
While Gage who was from the Anansi Lineage was lost. His Lineage had basically been destroyed by Draco's own father during World War 2, scattered to the wind. How was he supposed to get them back?
What's more there were no core members with any affiliations to the Morrigan and Ilah Lineages which wasn't surprising at all because their situation was even worse than the Anansi Lineage. How were they supposed to handle those ones?
