Chapter 803: It's Time

Draco continued the experiment with Refinement while the rest of the Morningstar Clan pushed their limits. However, he realized that this was something that required a sharp breakthrough, not a period of accumulation. If he wanted to use basic practice to increase his level, he would have to practice for almost 300 years to progress just 1%.

As such, he could only sigh and wait to develop special abilities to help him cut through the threshold. One should know, just to achieve 1%, Draco had to utilize his four main energy control abilities to manage.

The first was his Draconic Source Origin which was now at the high tier at Rank 3. The second was his Subjective Magics Cause and Effect Theory. The third was his Tier 5 Void of Perfection. The fourth was his natural rank-based ability to move Worldly Energy.

These four combined to allow him to break past the threshold once he achieved its basic requirement.

As for reaching 2%, Draco had strained and researched until he finally implemented his Tier 5 Control's extremely limited Quantum Manipulation to filter energy at the Quantum level. However, that was the extent of his bag of tricks currently.

Draco felt like he could extend this further by either finding or crafting some special equipment or drinking some specially made potions, as well as utilizing some of the power systems he had acquired during his climb, such as Qi cultivation. However, he was in no rush to achieve the next level, wanting to see how far he could get before hitting Rank 4.

Speaking of his next Rank Up, it was likely going to be available to them after Eva gave birth to their little monster. Enough time should have passed for his Soulmate to spit that little mongrel out. Draco smiled as he gazed at his people climbing the Stairway to Heaven staunchly, trying their best to acclimate to the pressure before moving up.

This kind of test was not hard to pass. After all, once one had reached this level, the Tower was practically looking for an excuse to make you a deity, allowing it to fulfill its purpose. As long as you had sufficient willpower, the next steps were not too tough. Just climb and climb, and you would eventually get there. The only limiting factor would usually be how long it had taken you to reach this level, and how much time was left until the next run would start, but given Draco's track record...

With that in mind, Draco peacefully logged out and left them here. Unlike Eva's angels who disappeared with her when he logged out, these fellows were independent beings, not summons Draco created through class or bloodline, so they remained.

Draco opened his eyes within his VR pod in the castle's master bedroom. The pod drained the nanites and opened the hatch, allowing him to climb out in all his nakedness. Since the nanites were a semi-solid, semi-liquid form, they had eliminated all the dirt his body produced while in the pod, which was none.

It would have been useful for a normal human, but thanks to his rebuilt body, he no longer needed to excrete anything. Still, Draco took a bath of old time's sake and then dressed up quite moderately. A clean blue long sleeved shirt, black pants tied with a designer belt, two suede black shoes and a designer watch on his wrist.

With his outfit set, he exited the room and met Akainu downstairs along with Sanji. The two seemed bothered about something and their eyes lit up when they saw Draco.

"What's up?" Draco asked casually.

"Well, a few things have happened in your absence…" Akainu then gave him a summary of all that had been going on, especially the recent entanglement with the Elemental Group.

"Hoh? My Avatar said that? Not bad." Draco indirectly praised himself as he nodded his head and put the matter behind him.

He would investigate these God Serpents and their Inheritors himself later. For now, he let his Avatar could call the shots since it had his memories and should know what to do. Besides, Draco's agenda was more important than these trivial matters.

"Where's Eva? Is she still on the castle grounds?" Draco asked calmly.

"Nope. She's been moved to the GloryGore Labs for safety purposes. The one called Amber was very insistent that I send her over lest I cause a calamity, and Madam Eva had instantly agreed with her." Akainu answered.

Draco nodded. He too felt it was wise for Eva to be under the eye of Amber and the AI at this time to prevent anything from going wrong. He patted Akainu and Sanji on the shoulders and praised them for their hard work.

Before Draco left, Sanji looked at him with puzzlement and asked. "Boss, do you need a car to take you out?"

Draco shook his head. "Not this time. I'm in a bit of a rush, so I'll head there directly."

Draco took a single step outside and suddenly disappeared from the castle vicinity like he had been wiped out of reality, shocking Akainu and Sanji slightly.

When he reappeared, he was taking a step into the door of the GloryGore Labs which were busy as usual. However, no one strangely seemed to notice his sudden incursion, and he walked all the way to the familiar elevator before using it to go down.

Draco sensed a clam and placid aura from the labs while he was moving, but the moment he passed through the membrane that separated the AI's inner world from the outside world, his face changed greatly as he sensed an aura of power and majesty oppressing the entire place.

When the elevator released him, he noticed that the entire lab down there was quite heavy and somber, as if they were waiting for something significant. Draco walked up to Amber who was typing on the computer and purposefully sticking her butt out towards him.

However, he wasn't in the mood for lewds as he asked: "Where's Eva?" &nbs

p;

"She's in the special containment room. You can go in at any time and be with her." Amber answered right away, before opening a sealed door for Draco.

He entered a white room that only had a one way mirror looking out and a giant cultivation pod in the middle. Eva was currently lying in this pod peacefully with an expression of worry on her brows.

Her belly was swollen to the limit, and it was clear that the little monster would pop out any second now. Eva saw her Soulmate enter and showed a look of visible relief, while Draco was also relieved that he hadn't missed this moment.

"You look like a person about to undergo a Super Soldier enhancement." Draco joked as he approached her.

"That's assuming I'll be alive after this, you know." Eva responded while rolling her eyes.

"Why, is the little tyke showing signs of rebellion against authority?" Draco asked with a half smile.

"Worse than that. You can feel that aura, right? It's coming purely from them. I have no idea what they're trying to accomplish by displaying such force before being born." Eva complained unhappily.

Draco sneered darkly. "What a good brat. See if I don't deprive you of your cerelac and breast milk when you are born."

Eva chuckled at that, knowing that this fellow might just live up to his words if their beloved little munchkin didn't behave himself. The brat seemed to think so too, as the oppressive aura died down significantly.

Draco immediately laughed uproariously. "Hahaha, this father is truly renowned through the heavens! Even supreme brats dare not refute my commands! Hahaha!"

Eva simply marveled at her Soulmates depth of shamelessness, while their child had likely gotten a first taste of what its father was truly like. Suddenly, the lights in the entire inner world seemed to darken as the oppressive aura returned, but in a more direct form.

Eva's face changed as her visage contorted in pain. Draco's casual expression became solemn as he understood that it was time. Alas, unlike Zaine and co who could avoid the nitty gritties of childbirth thanks to Aetheric Energy, there was none of that in the real world.

In other words, Eva was gonna feel every moment of it RAW.

That was the part neither she nor Draco had been looking forward to. If it had been a normal baby, it would just be a matter of some pain, which Eva could ignore by shutting down her senses, should she have chosen to do so.

However, anyone who knew the circumstances of this particular child would know that things would not be so simple.

Case in point, Eva suddenly panicked and cried out. "I-Its draining all my Bloodline Energy!!"

Draco was shocked. Instead of standing around, he rushed over and pressed his hand on to Eva's exposed belly, injecting his own Bloodline Energy to stabilize her situation. However, the next moment he directly paled and spat out a mouthful of blood.

While the child had only taken a deep sip of Eva's energy because it had been used to it, and perhaps because it subconsciously had limited itself as to not to harm its mother, but once it tasted another fresh set of energy, it directly opened its whale mouth to gulp an entire barrel!

Draco got drained of all his Bloodline Energy and 5% of his Bloodline Source without the chance to protest. The sudden and severe suction was like being hollowed out, which was why he had such a fierce reaction. Eva's pressure reduced, but it all fell on Draco right now.

However, he understood that he had to do it to ensure his child would have everything it needed, so gritted his teeth, and endured it.

His darling Eva had been suffering for so long carrying this baby, and she had also been suppressing her fear that the child might directly kill her during birth. If he couldn't even contribute some pain and sacrifice at this time, was he even considered a man?!

It was the premier male instinct to provide and protect one's family, and it encompassed many things. Most men would go through what Draco was going through if it meant that he could secure his wife's wellbeing and protect his child.

In fact, every man who entered the delivery room and saw his wife in pain wished he could switch situations with her, no matter how low their own personal pain tolerance.

Draco felt this exact feeling at this time. Even though the child continued to wickedly drain his Bloodline Source every second, he still held on and endured the bone scraping agony… literally.

It was only when the greedy munchkin began to draw from Eva again, even daring to touch her own Bloodline Source, that Draco could not take it anymore. With bloodshot eyes filled with anger and malice, he roared: "You little shit, are you trying to Batman yourself?!"

It was as if the child could understand what he was saying, but it clearly did not care. It even intensified its draining of their Bloodline Source, taking Draco and Eva equally down to 50% remaining.

Blood leaked from both of their mouths as they became scrawny and pale, like they had been attacked by Hades. However, they were both shocked to see a mixture of black and white light explode from Eva's belly as the child simply phased out of her womb and hovered in the sky.

They couldn't tell its gender or sex due to the clashing lights, but they could see the silhouette of an infant that had just been born. The child twitched and kicked while hovering, and a stable cry erupted from its mouth.

The lights were then socked back into its body, and it slowly hovered down into Eva's embrace. Draco and Eva were shocked to notice that the child radiated an aura that was no longer oppressive, but majestic and

full of warmth.

Immediately, their haggard bodies recovered and filled up. No, it was more than filling up, it was as if their bloodlines were being renewed and perfected with each second!

BANG!

Draco and Eva almost literally screamed to the heavens from shock and fear. That explosion was not from anything else, but their very own bloodlines and their Bloodline Source!

After returning to their peak of 99%, they had hit the bottleneck that had always stopped them from perfection... yet now they had broken through!

Draco and Eva finally achieved 100% bloodline purity at this moment!!!
