"Uh, special kind of human?" Jackson asked uncertainly.
"That's right, in this world, there are humans with superpower-like abilities. The governnt knows about them and certain top echelon do. I have a feeling that my father does as well, but he didn't see the need to tell ." Maria answered slowly.
Jackson seed to want to know more by his tone but was smart enough to know that he wasn't qualified, so he asked: "Then, madam, what are you going to do with him?"
Maria was silent for a while. "Hm, I'll see what he's like. Maybe I can train him to be my own personal superhuman and build my force."
The was the sound of sitting and the sound of a door opening a closing. After that, silence.
Eva and Shuangtian glanced at Draco who had a shocked expression on his face with satisfaction. Eva folded her arms and spoke seriously.
"Your entire relationship with Maria was built on her use of you. Any affection she showed you was to achieve this goal, which was to weaponize you - and by God - we both know she did."
"Ha, she even tricked you into killing Connor, your general! And you only survived that fight because Ouroboros absolutely would not allow Connor to defend himself as he sensed the aura of the Progenitor on you!" Shuangtian added cruelly, not mincing her words.
Draco nodded thoughtfully and then glanced at the two beauties staring him down.
"Anything else?" He asked with a smile.
Eva and Shuangtian frowned deeply. Draco laughed at their expressions. "What is it? Did you expect to see the errors of my ways after this little show? You're just showing my own mories from when I was unconscious as if I had no idea of their existence."
"If you know of her true intentions, and this was only the beginning of her plans for you, why do you still protect her??" Eva asked with confusion.
"Because, Eva, Shuangtian, and listen to this good: Intentions do not matter as much as actions." Draco answered simply.
"Yeah, she intended to use as a weapon. After she discovered my special ability to upgrade her quality of life like Connor, she also intended to use sexually. Since I beca powerful enough to rival your guild in Boundless, she and Nathan supported Hellscape because they wanted to use my influence to penetrate Boundless."
Draco shrugged. "And so what? Is the woman whose husband initially approached her for a one-night stand yet fell in love with her personality afterward supposed to divorce or hate him for that fact?"
"The difference between and you is that I am aware of Maria's darker intentions and even so of the unnecessary actions she took to facilitate them. Nevertheless, I'm still grateful for it all, and I especially know that her feelings towards the end were genuine."
"It's funny that you don't even see the irony of this entire situation. Here you stand before , guilty of the exact thing you are accusing of, seeing only one side of the picture and making judgnt using that. You have seen Maria's flaws and magnified them due to your love and concern for , but I don't need you to do so."
Draco's eyes sharpened. "Eva, you lived almost one week longer than in the previous tiline. Tell us, what did Maria do following the news of my death?"
Eva's expression beca ugly at that. After all, Maria had used her entire influence to search for Draco's killer, earning her a tinge of respect from Eva. Of course, that was before she had browsed through Draco's mories.
Maria had eventually fainted in illness after her anger dissipated a bit, the despair and sadness causing her to beco bedridden. In truth, if Eva had waited about a month, with Nathan's resources, the killer would have been dug out eventually, but when did a yandere ever care about logic when it pertained the love of her life?
"How nice, you can ignore intentions for actions. Then let us evaluate your current actions, shall we? Let be frank, what you're doing now is causing a rift to appear in your own nuclear family. Do you think your son or daughter would be proud of you if they saw you fighting with their mothers over so woman who doesn't even know you?" Shuangtian asked directly.
Draco's face fell as his expression darkened. "There is no need to bring our children into this and stop emotionally blackmailing ! This is a matter of logic!"
"Haha, here I thought you changed your prankster personality for your serious one. Wasn't it you who just told us that your reason for protecting Maria are based on emotion? How co now that emotions are inconvenient, you're saying that this is logical? I'm fighting you using the sa ans and you want to run?" Shuangtian pursued relentlessly.
Draco was speechless. He could see from Eva's words and deanor that she was beaten and almost about to take a step back, but Shuangtian was indefatigable and seed like she would not rest until this matter was solved.
"What's it to you anyway? Your understanding of Maria only cos from my mory, but I know her in the flesh. You're judging her based on limited factors." Draco argued.
"Rubbish! I have everything I need because I do not care about Maria nor her relation with Connor. Even if she had crossed every mber of Umbra I would have no reason to intervene on their behalf."
"The one important to is you! All I care about is every word or action she said to you, the intentions she had behind it and the consequences of them!"
"To that end, you mory is the perfect highlight. I don't even need her mories assuming she had them because they only provide supplentary evidence."
Shuangtian snorted coldly. "And what is it to ? I tell you what it is."
"When I spent all my life tied to that bed, I only had stories from grandpa Pangu to keep going and paint a beautiful future for . You were described as charming and suave while Eva was described as elegant and transcendent, assuming you perfectly inherited the traits of our progenitors."
"However, I deeply relaxed the problem with the personalities and characters of the two of you from the mont I found that it was your subordinates, not you, who ca to save . That action told a lot about you before I even t either one of you."
"And when you did and restored my bloodline, I began to observe you silently. The problems compounded when you put in that false realm to re-live so fake childhood as if I asked for it."
"The worst was when I received your mories and understood both your histories, I was shook. I realized that the problems you two have have compounded over two tilines and because there had never been a person who could regulate or control you two, it had gotten worse."
"I promised myself that I would do everything I can to beco the one among us three to maintain sensibility, to act as the balance between us. Eva recognizes the problem but her inferiority complex towards you from the previous tiline forces her to never truly step up to you. Just take a look at the current her! Despite knowing that what you're doing is wrong, she has nearly been silenced by you because of it!"
Shuangtian sneered. "Let tell you, I have no such weaknesses. My Soulmate ordained by the universe and the father of my child is not allowed to be so pathetic!"
Draco's expression beca extrely ugly after being berated by Shuangtian, while Eva by her side was speechless. Sister, I am your ally, how did I get caught in friendly fire and sent to respawn?
"Are you done?" Draco asked with extre unhappiness.
"Nowhere near done. Hand over the bitch and let Connor deal with her. If you care so much about her then go show him your experiences with her! As long as you plead her case, he might lighten her punishnt on account of you, yet she still needs to pay the price!" Shuangtian declared majestically.
Draco shook his head. "I don't care, I won't allow it. Whether you are right or wrong, I simply cannot stand the idea of Maria being tortured."
Draco thought his stubbornness would force Shuangtian into an impasse, but his face changed when she appeared before him and sent him flying with a punch to the sternum. Draco crashed through Jupiter and split the planet apart while Shuangtian chased after him.
Eva hesitated and then turned back Ti to restore Mars and anything else what was destroyed, while pausing Ti on the planet, even for the core mbers. She wasn't sure how things would be resolved nor was she able to tell how much longer their dispute would last, so she could do this.
Of course, unbeknownst to Eva was that her Ti Stop ability did not affect a certain small realm underneath a certain lab…
Draco coughed blood as he defended against Shuangtian brutal attacks that held malicious intent. "Shuangtian, what are you doing?!"
Shuangtian sneered towards his roar and bellowed: "Since you refuse to listen to reason, I shall beat reason into your head!"
She loaded him with another power packed punch which was mixed with elental energy as well. Draco smashed through Pluto and was cast out of the solar system.
Draco felt anger bubble in his chest from being suppressed. Shuangtian had the confidence to declare herself the supervisor of Draco and Eva because she had grasped their weakness. They were both more inclined to a 'mage-like' build while she was a 'tank and lee DPS' in one, making her the perfect counter for them.
Draco was completely suppressed by her and even when he struck back, her irrational defense that covered both physical and magical damage could brush off the damage and even what little got through would be imdiately regenerated.
Eva appeared nearby, watching the battle as she hesitated once more. Then she thought of the harsh words Shuangtian had used to critize her and her expression beca firm as she joined the battle and assisted Shuangtian in beating down Draco.
Draco was shocked by the dual attack and struggled to maintain his safety. He beca more and more enraged as they went all out against him and then suddenly exploded with calamitous power, pushing the two back.
"If I don't show that I'm a tiger, you will think I am a sick cat!" He bellowed as he completely unsealed his Eternal Control and caused the entire galaxy to shake.
Eva and Shuangtian's expressions changed greatly as they didn't expect Draco to go so far. In order to withstand his power, they also fully unsealed themselves, causing the entire area around them to crack like weak glass.
Their battle resud and the aftereffects caused entire planets nearby to break and explode into debris. While stars quaked and exploded into a supernova sending heat and light throughout the universe.
The consequences of their actions were deep and they could not even predict what would happen by the end, but they were too caught up in the heat of battle to care about such things. Releasing Eternal Power at 100 points in their universe was madness at best and sheer suicidal chaos at worst.
The only silver lining of it all was that they never stuck to one place. Rather they continued to flash all across the galaxy which led them further and further away from Earth until they were in a place they had no idea of. They ended up completely lost in the universe, but this unfamiliarity and estrangent caused them to beco even more ferocious as they lost the last of their scruples.
anwhile, the interesting thing was that, a few light years away, a handso Togamon elder was watching the three of them fight casually with his arms folded behind his back. He had been on his way to Earth to find the source of the anomaly he felt when he sensed them fighting.
He had been observing them and how they fought, and he was thoroughly disappointed. He had high expectations for them, yet here he was watching them fight as if they were children with big sticks in a world of ants and insects, their power was at the ceiling but their usage of it was akin to watching a cow trying to sing.
However, when they unsealed their power, his casual expression changed end beca serious. He glanced at their battle by the side but mostly stabilized the rest of the area and fixed the aftereffects of their careless battle on the universe.
He didn't stop them though. Who was he to interfere in their lovers' spat? Lord knows how many tis he and Innukmun had fought in the past, so he understood dearly that so fights could not be solved verbally, especially when both man and woman were powerhouses with strong egos and self-confidence.
