Guild Wars

Gremory's heart almost exploded when she heard Draco's promise and saw his strong aura. She had already possessed a strong feeling of reliance and trust upon seeing him but now, it was magnified to the limit as her eyes became watery.

"Okay…" That was all she could muster in response, her voice soft like a marshmallow.

Draco shook his head and patted her head gently. "No, it's 'okay, big brother Draco'. Come on, say it."

Gremory blushed and felt shy, but she still said it gently. "O-Okay… B-Big brother Draco…"

In the end, she found that it actually felt nice to say it, especially with the way Draco gently stroked her hair. Gremory had never felt more comfortable in her entire life, and she kinda wished this could go on forever.

As such, it was no surprise that she almost groaned in lament when Draco took his hand away, but she was surprised when he took her hand gently. Looking at him, Draco's face was now serious as a blackish energy roiled around him.

"Now, to fix whatever is preventing you from achieving your full potential…"

The black energy in his body entered Gremory gently and enveloped her whole form, making her feel incredibly comfortable beyond words. However, her face soon changed as the energy touched her heart, in which a hint of pain emerged on her face.

Draco too showed an expression of shock and dazed confusion, his brows furrowing. "How can this be?"

Gremory could only grit her teeth and clutch her chest with a grimace. This action woke Draco up from his stupor and his face became serious as he finally understood why Gremory was forced to suffer for so long.

The problem wasn't just her body, but her soul. In her soul, Draco found the avatar of Lucifer within, deep in slumber in order to reduce the pressure put on her. It was just like how Pangu's avatar resided in Shuangtian's soul, but due to compatibility, there was no issue.

However, when the blood exchange happened, the part of Draco's bloodline in which Lucifer's avatar resided was sent to Gremory, which caused the baby her to be crippled. If any other part of Draco's bloodline had been switched, nothing would have occurred.

However, it just had to be this part…

Draco knew that this operation would have to be delicate. Luckily, He had the best person with him who could deal with souls, so he used his free hand to warp space and bring Eva and Shuangtian into the room.

The two were already informed by him through their link as to the back and forth of the whole matter, so they both got to work. Eva stabilized Gremory by stopping time within her body while Shuangtian used her Soul branch to directly sever Lucifer from Gremory's soul in the safest way while also restoring her soul.

Draco collected the avatar of Lucifer and all his remnants within Gremory's body. He then gave Gremory some of his bloodline source to activate and purify her bloodline, meaning that she would be undergoing the body rebuilding process.

Eva unfroze time and all Gremory knew was that her entire body felt good before she began to fall back into the bed as Shuangtian put her to sleep. Then, the rebuilding process began as her entire body was reshaped in a very brutal way similar to Draco's back then since hers was post infancy.

However, with the Evil Trio here, nothing could go wrong. At the end of it all, Gremory was reborn looking even more like Draco, but far more beautiful and sensual than before. She had activated her father's Horned Demon inheritance and her mother's Dark Angel Inheritance.

Draco covered her up with the blankets gently and then woke her up. The first thing Gremory did was exclaim at the feeling of having a 'normal' body, but obviously her body was far superior than what continued 'normal'.

The things she could do without even invoking her bloodline could make her qualify as a superhuman, much less if she actually got to use her abilities. She immediately jumped out of bed, doing jumping jacks, cartwheels and generally running about the room in joy.

…all of this while butt ass naked.

Draco smacked his forehead with exasperation while Eva and Shuangtian were watching RESPECTFULLY. Draco then became irritated and kicked them out again because he didn't like how they were ogling his sister.

He then smacked Gremory on the back of her head and chastised her immediately for running around naked, to which the young woman lowered her head with shame. However, whether it was Draco or herself, they did not feel embarrassed since they looked perfectly alike and had taken each other as true siblings.

Draco then taught Gremory how to create clothes using bloodline energy, but Gremory stated that she wanted to wear what her mom had bought for her in the past. Using her new psychic abilities, he collected clothes from the wardrobe at the other side of the room and then put them on, marveling the entire time.

Gremory was like a normal person who suddenly acquired superpowers, not like Draco or the core members who acquired powers and simply acted as if they deserved it from the moment they were born.

Gremory ran over and hugged Draco coquettishly. "Big Brother, I want you to take me to town to go and have fun!"

Draco looked at her playful face and puppy dog eyes, his heart softening greatly. "I promise to take you Gremory, but you should go spend time with your parents and brother now. I have to go see my own 'parents' now."

Gremory heard the seriousness in Draco's tone and knew it wasn't time to be willful. She had completely dropped her guard around Draco and acted more lively as well as freely around him, but she knew that this was an important moment for her elder brother.

She nodded and left the room with Draco, but she hesitated and pointed to the room on the other end of the corridor. "That's where Uncle Dante and Aunty Lilith stay. Please… be considerate."

Draco's lips twitched. Why did everyone think he was going to brutally slaughter them or something? At best they were incompetent idiots but their actions had been mostly to his benefit rather than actively trying to harm him.

"I will." Was all that Draco could say.

'Eva, Shuangtian, Dominic and now even Gremory have pleaded on your behalf… well "Dad" and "Mom", you'd better live up to their pleas.' Draco thought to himself with narrowed eyes as he walked down the corridor to their door.

Gremory could forgive his parents and even himself, releasing her hatred because she only experienced one lifetime of it. Draco here was reincarnated, meaning that in both his lifetimes, he had the memories of those 21 years of living like a dog, full of suffering.

If Eva had brought him home during the previous timeline before the event with Shangtian, Draco would have probably easily forgiven them given his personality back then if he knew the full story.

However, too much had happened, far too much. There was too much resentment in his heart to just write everything off even if he did know the full story and knew that it wasn't actually the fault of his parents that he was cast out, but rather due to a lot of complicated factors.

But still… But still!!

All those years!

How many times had he cried himself to sleep when he was only 5 years old with no guardian figure to look after him in the slums, wondering if his parents truly loved him? At first, he told himself that they must have perished, but even then he knew it was sketchy.

However, he still wanted to find his parents someday and reunite with them back then, only to find out from Eva after reincarnating in this timeline that he was a chosen one of a bloodline and that his circumstances were forced due to a previous conflict.

But most importantly, his world shattered when he knew his parents were alive. Though he knew now that both were severely injured and could barely even function properly, they were still alive in the end.

If so, why did they send him to the slum? Of course, he knew that it was because of Lingtian and the vile Pangu lineage. Sealing him would have been pointless if they didn't go this far and the little respite they could get was to have Fyre monitor him at all times without being able to interfere lest the Pangu Lineage go crazy.

This was why Draco didn't hate his aunt, who knew how much suffering Fyre had to undergo while watching her beloved nephew cry himself to sleep, be bullied and abused, and go hungry almost every day?

There was a reason why when Draco first went to his aunt, she was an old woman who refused to molt herself until she reconnected with him. There was also a reason why she chose the IGN Loving Aunt because she had dedicated her life to him.

But even though it was unreasonable, especially given the facts he knew now, Draco did not understand why his own parents could not break the rules to come and save him!

Why? Why? Why?!

With red eyes, Draco pushed the door open without even knocking, glancing within to see the two people who had brought him into this world and yet cast him away from their presence.
