Stepping out of the portal, the siblings were surprised to see the sa person who sent them here, the sa black hair, and the sa annoying golden eyes but this ti he did not have the air of arrogance he had before, instead he appeared to be more approachable and free with people from what they could see.
"How are you here and also back there?" The woman asked Adams, who simply smiled but ignored her as he did not have the luxury to answer her.
"So you are the famous Garrick Bunch, the Slayer of Monsters, and the defender of Aurora," Adams said, looking at the male siblings while completely ignoring the sister, much to her dismay.
Hearing the na of Garrick, Lilith, and lina turned to look at him, "So we finally get to see face to face; I thought you were hard to et, the infamous Garrick of Aurora," said Lilith with a mocking smile on her face.
"Lilith, so you are also here, I thought you did not care for trivial things like inheritance but only wanted to gain power through your efforts," said Garrick as he looked back at her, "I rember that's one of the few reasons you said no to our union"
"Co on, brother, don't say things like that; you know a vampire and a human cannot be together; that was mother's wishful thinking," said his sister, clearly irritated by the fact that her brother was supposed to be betrothed to a vampire.
"If you don't like the idea, others like it, so don't go about showing that face of yours everywhere you go. Else, you offend soone you don't want to," said lina, not pleased with the way Garrick's sister,r kept her face when she said.
"Who are you again? I didn't quite catch your na during our etings" Garrick's sister replied lina while carrying a smile on her face.
"Aurora, enough; you don't want to go down that route, you know it," said Garrick to his sister, whose na was Aurora, the sa as their Empire.
Every ti Aurora and lina et, there is always a clash between them; those two never see eye to eye, no matter what. They are always at each other's throats.
Aurora listened to her brother but not without glaring at lina, who glared back at her while showing her the middle finger, which caused Adams to raise an eyebrow.
"Are you lots done now or should we still watch you bicker back and forth?" said Adams with his hands on his chin as he just watched the unfolding drama with a bored expression, "if you are done now, we should continue with what brought you hear"
Garrick looked at his sister before stepping forward, "I'm ready, but I have a question," he said to Adams, who simply looked at Aurora behind him, knowing what Garrick wanted to say, but decided to let him say it out loud.
"If I beco your Horseman, what will beco of my sister? I can't just let her be all by herself," He said to Adams after getting a nod from him.
Adams looked at her from the head down to her toes back and forth. She has so qualities in her, but she is not a zodiac candidate nor a Horseman candidate, and lastly, she is not a demon to be a Sin Holder, so he does not know what to do with her. "That can be discussed later, but I assure you that she will be a valued mber of my force," he said, assuring Garrick.
With that out of the way, Adams opened the system shop and told Jarvis to grant Alia the Sin of Envy and related Bloodline and Physique of the Primordial rank, cultivation thods and techniques and increase her cultivation to the True Immortal Realm while for Garrick, give him the abilities of the Horseman of Conquest, Bloodline, Physique, Cultivation thods and techniques, all of them in the Primordial Rank, also a Horse as a Horseman and lastly increase his cultivation to the True Immortal Realm.
After that, Adams heard the ding notification in his head and the next mont, a sudden light engulfed both Alia and Garrick which alard Aurora whom wanted to go to her brother but found out that she was unable to move.
The room was filled with an intense, pulsating light that seed to co from everywhere and nowhere all at once. Aurora's heart pounded in her chest as she watched her brother, Garrick, and the woman, Alia, stand at the center of this luminous transformation.
Garrick's face was a picture of awe and determination, his eyes closed as he embraced the changes taking place within him. Aurora saw the familiar contours of his face shift subtly as if etched by a divine hand, marking him as sothing more than human. His body seed to hum with energy, an aura of power radiating from him that was almost palpable.
Next to him, Alia stood tall, her features serene and focused. Her transformation was equally profound, the light dancing across her skin and lding with her essence. Aurora could sense that Alia was undergoing a profound tamorphosis, one that would elevate her to a realm of strength and capability beyond her previous limits.
As the light continued to work its magic, Aurora's mind raced. She couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness, standing there unable to reach out to her brother or comprehend the full scope of what was happening. Her love for Garrick warred with her fear of the unknown, leaving her torn between hope and dread.
Adams watched the scene with a calm, asured expression. He seed satisfied with the unfolding events, as if everything was going exactly as planned. He caught Aurora's eye and gave her a reassuring nod, though she found little comfort in it. The power he wielded was beyond anything she had encountered, and she couldn't help but wonder what it all truly ant for her brother—and for her.
Finally, the light began to recede, its intensity dimming until the room was once again bathed in the soft glow of torches lining the walls. The invisible force holding Aurora in place released her, and she stumbled forward, her eyes locked on Garrick.
Garrick opened his eyes, and they shone with a new clarity and purpose. He t Aurora's gaze, a smile playing on his lips as he stepped towards her. His movents were fluid and confident, reflecting the profound change within him.
Alia, too, looked transford. Her presence was commanding, her every gesture exuding an air of quiet strength. She turned to Aurora, her eyes filled with understanding and a shared resolve. They were no longer rely siblings bound by blood; they were allies in a larger conflict, united by the powers they had been granted.
Adams clapped his hands, drawing their attention back to him. "Welco, Horseman of Conquest and Sin Holder of Envy," he said before deciding to look at their status as usual.
