The two silhouettes on the deck jumped down from the side, one of them crass and quite heroic while the other refined and elegant, like a fairy floating down from the heavens.

The first familiar figure turned out to be a shockingly handsome face, the very face belonging to Draco. This face had his former white hair and red eyes combo since it was born from his Ultima Sunt racial skill, Duplicate.

At the time Draco had created it, it was in possession of 50% of all his power, including his class skills, titles, abilities and especially his bloodline.

What made it special was that it could be automatically updated without the need to be recalled and resummoned, so it had the current Rank 5 Eternal Rank Abyssal Eternal class, the various True God laws, the Chaotic Eternal Bloodline, Control at Tier 7 and his other slew of abilities, only that it could manifest 70% of it in total, as the skill stated.

Most importantly, they shared the same Inventory so Draco and the Avatar could trade whatever they needed with each other, which had been very useful for the Avatar during its travels within the dangerous unmapped zones.

However, they had limited memory sharing which was cut off whenever the Avatar went deep into the unmapped zones and often entered various forbidden areas with limitations. In fact, it had been partially trapped in a unique quest for a long time and was only rescued by his companion later on.

And then, that brought the focus to his companion in question.

It was a young lass of around 15-16 year of age, with a rather tall build for her age as she was around 5 foot 9 inches. She had short cropped golden blonde hair that reflected the sunlight in a hazy manner, along with pale white skin that shimmered with healthiness.

Her eyes were extremely strange, possessing a unique combination of red and black in each pupil. No, her eyes were not one red, one black, but rather each eye was split in a yin-yang style with red one one side and black on the other.

With extremely cute features full of feminine youthfulness and a budding figure that was full of youthful charm, this young miss was definitely the type of lass who would be all the boy's crush in high-school, the queen bee of her class.

She wore a white men's style shirt underneath a light brown cardigan, along with very baggy jeans and casual white sneakers. Despite this, there was an air of elegance to her even though her attire was extremely modern and casual.

The eyes of everyone fell on her as she walked over with Draco's clone, the kids feeling she was greatly familiar, especially Rosella whose face kept changing many times. Eventually, when the lass got close enough, Rosella hesitantly called out a name she remembered from long ago.

"Sister… Rila?"

Rila smiled and rubbed Rosella's head gently. "You remember me after so long. How have you been?"

Rosella's eyes lit up. "So it is you! I've been great thanks to the care of Esteemed Father and Mother."

Rila nodded and glanced at the women beside Draco, greeting them respectfully. "Hello aunties, it's great to see you all after so long. It is also nice to make your acquaintance Auntie Shuangtian."

"You know me?" Shuangtian pointed to herself in confusion after Eva and co replied to Rila's greeting with a smile.

"Yes, you are wearing Mama Aniam's gauntlets." Rila explained with a nod.

She then turned to Draco who had folded his arms with a smile of amusement. Rila coughed once before greeting him.

"Hello… Uncle Draco."

Hearing this form of address, everyone else was puzzled, but the two Draco's only revealed knowing smiles.

"You've finally awakened, huh?"

Rila hesitated and then sighed, revealing her status to all. "Yes."

｢Name: Rila – Eternal Goddess

Eternal Talent: Daughter of Samsara

HP: Incalculable.｣

The rest were flummoxed, not understanding what they were seeing. Not only was Rila an Eternal, but she also existed within the Boundless Universe? Wasn't it the AI who told them that it lacked the resources to display anything above Semi-Eternal? Could it be that at some point it had manage to do so but due to holding a grudge it had refrained from telling them this vital piece of information?!

After all, it was solely this reason that made it necessary for them to seal their bloodlines and limiting them to their Semi-Eternal classes!

So just what happened?

"Please don't be confused everyone. My situation is… special." Rila hastily explained seeing that everyone's IQ was about to short-circuit.

"I don't know how, but the existence behind the creation of this digital universe knew about the other universes as well as my father and mother, and implanted it into the consciousness that controls this digital universe."

"Because of that, copies of myself and my father were spawned in this universe that were basically virtual copies. However, the high fidelity with our true forms caused a causal link to be created, enabling my father to discover this universe and come into contact with Uncle Draco, which had sincerely changed the fates of the universes for the better in ways I cant explain yet."

"Likewise, this digital body eventually was discovered by my real self in the Homados universe belonging to my father and we synchronized.

While I would love to explore this digital universe with you all which holds extremely great value and potential, my synchronization had caused my causal link to my real body to become too strong and the power shared over is too strong for this digital universe."

Rila displayed a heavenly expression here. "I came back to say goodbye to you all. It is a fact that you raised me as one of your own when I was weak and clueless, so apart from the familial relationship we possess due to Uncle Draco's deific connection to my father, I also consider you my family locally."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but display looks of sadness, especially Roma. She, Qiong Qi and Clarent had been there when Rila first emerged and had been with her since then. Roma and Qiong Qi especially shared a strong connection with Rila since they were all generated within the Flora and Fauna Unique Quest.

Rila looked around for a bit, yet she was unable to find the funny lion and the crazy dragon. However, noticing her look of puzzlement Draco simply explained that they were nowhere to be found right now for some reason.

Rila, knowing them, understood that they were probably cooking up trouble and decided that she would have to make do.

"Is this a permanent farewell?" Eva asked gently.

"No, not in the least. Dad is a deity beyond an Eternal, so he can come here as he pleases, but he is very busy preparing for war. I am an Eternal of the highest level so I can only come back here when your universe, both digital and real, becomes capable of housing full power Eternals." Rila stated with a firm look.

"Based on our plans, that shouldn't be long. We will be looking forward to your return, and then you'll be able to freely explore this world as you please." Shuangtian comforted Rila and the other three who looked sad.

"Yes. Also, where is that troublemaker, Loki?" Rila asked curiously.

Back then, when Draco was out causing trouble with Roma or Zaine, it was she who would hold the two babies and comfort them, despite being a toddler. Back then, Rosella had always been obedient while Loki had left her feeling stressed.

Since Caelo's human counterpart had a harem like Draco, but only one child, Rila did not have any actual siblings. Her memories of partially raising Rosella and Loki as siblings were some of her most precious.

"… he ran away to cause trouble." Rosella answered with a strange expression, unable to look Rila in the eyes as she did.

Rila was not surprised by this. Instead, she moved forward to hug everyone, lingering on Roma who was about to cry and Eva, who was also deeply saddened. She also hugged Kuro and Shiro who she never met and did not have a chance to raise, as well as Hikari and Zaine who had been present in her youth.

Shuangtian was also given a solid hug because Rila saw almost 100% of one of her mothers, Aniam, in her.

Finally, she turned to Draco. Having spent most of her time with his clone, it should feel normal to see him, but the young lass couldn't help but falter at this point. A flash of memories of Draco always hugging her with love as she grew up appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile.

Her awakening was only recent, so she had spent most of her time growing up under his care in terms of both the real him and his clone. There was no one she was more familiar with apart form him as well as her own father and mother back in her home universe.

"Uncle Draco, I…"

Rila started to speak, but Draco only rubbed her head gently. "Don't worry about it. I knew you were the daughter of Brother Caelo since a long time ago, but to me, whether I have to call you my daughter or my niece, my feeling towards you remain the same."

Draco embraced the little tot he used to carry all the time in a hug as he whispered into her ear. "You will always be my darling Rila and you will always have a place in our family."

Rila, couldn't stop the flow of tears that came to her eyes, meeting his hug tightly. This moment would forever be etched into her mind and soul, while her experiences in this world would always echo in her heart going forward.

Draco was grateful for the presence of Rila in his life. Back then, he had just reincarnated and resolved things with Eva, so his mental state had not been firm. He had gone on to do what he wanted without caring about consequences because the then Riveting Night had been insecure and indulged him fully.

While it allowed him to bring Roma, Zaine and Hikari into his life, it also made him very careless by sleeping with Wood Elves, Dryads and anything he could come across during the Flora and Fauna era.

However, holding Rila back then had brought a hint of responsibility into his life, acting as a catalyst to him becoming steady and prudent eventually. Even when he went into Norma's treasury, he only took concubines from the various Goddess Descendants and didn't just lay anyone he saw… except Doris who loved courting death.

Cough cough, back to the sad boi moment.

Rila released her sadness from the parting and bowed to everyone for the last time before turning around and walking away, her form disappearing into nothingness with each step as she traversed the paths between universes.

Watching her go, everyone felt deeply emotional, but they understood that if they wanted to prevent things like this from happening, they ah to become stronger.

Whether it was Pangu's avatar leaving Shuangtian or the current Rila leaving Draco, it was all because they were too weak!

"Let's go. With the core members arriving, we will make sure this never happens again." Draco stated softly but firmly.
