Soon, the Inner Universe sublimated as the energy assisted the elemental wave to assimilate with every inch of it. It became integrated into the very folds of the universe, now an organic part of its laws and rules.
Draco nodded as he felt the Inner Universe upgrade itself. Just like the last time, planets exploded into being, rapidly growing in size as they consumed the entirety of the void.
However, this was critical, as the void was already full!
After the last upgrade, the split had been 80% planets and 20% void, and there definitely wasn’t enough void leftover to support these new planets!
Err, ahcktually, that is why it’s called universe ‘growth’. It was a wholesome growth of the entire void, so the world expanded, the void almost quintupling itself immediately. It was quite a thing to see the universe expand beyond the means of your understanding live, and Draco could only keep track thanks to his connection with the Eternal Tree.
The planets were spread around equidistantly, and their elemental composition was spread equally as well. Where they’re had been only planets of one element, there were now both planets of a single element and planets with mixed elements.
So while there were sun-like planets made of fire, water planets with only the aforementioned liquid, molten planets with lava and rocks as well as gas giants made of various hazardous chemical reactions, there were now also bright green planets made up of purely wood, sickly green planets with clouds that covered the sky as well as land that were full of pools of disgusting liquid, bright white planets that exuded pure light without heat, pitch black planets with roiling black miasma that looked terrifying and finally, yellowish planets with thunderclouds that released lightning on the land continuously.
The void was now split into 50% planets and 50% space. The single element planets were notable, but the mixed element ones were even better, with some having up to three different elements mixed together. It wasn’t enough to call them fully habitable planets for sure, but it was definitely progress.
However, what surprised Draco was the presence of Yin and Yang Energy in the Morningstar World. His eyes widened as he felt himself becoming bathed with a familiar energy he had just gotten used to and had to dump, Spirit Energy!
Draco slapped his forehead. “Of course, it should have been obvious. Light represents Yang and Darkness represents Yin in Western/Eastern Fantasy. By introducing organic advanced elements, the universe now had light and darkness as part of its fundamental rules, so with the presence of sufficient universal energy like Origin, Spirit Energy would continually be produced by the suns as well as moons – or in this case, light planets and darkness planets – and spread to planets.
This was only possible because Draco’s Inner Universe did not adhere solely to Western Fantasy. Most of its base rules were influenced by it for sure, but it was nevertheless its own universe. It could adopt the rules of any existing universes with the help of the Eternal Tree and the AI, as long as Draco himself encountered them.
Draco was slightly excited. The introduction of Spirit Energy to the Morningstar World meant that he could allow his family and friends to walk down the path of Cultivation, granting them another avenue of power for themselves. With their talent and Qi, they could unleash his bloodline crazily, especially his kids.
Draco was even pondering the idea of grabbing Protagonist Hair – Kiran – and co and see if it would work on them. Just another reason to be done with this Tower so that things could progress.
Draco considered unlocking Universe Growth Level 3, which would add pinnacle elements, but stopped. He had learned a valuable lesson this time, that the more experienced and connected he was, the more rules and laws could be introduced to his Inner Universe once upgraded.
Right now, this was good enough for sure.
Draco allowed things to settle while the various Morningstar Clan members marveled at the changes, feeling the difference for themselves. Roma was working on providing ways for them to traverse space, as not all of them had the power or capability to do so.
Draco himself nodded and headed to the nearby black castle which flashed with ominous light. He walked in through the double doors to see the two former princesses turned maids, Jenna and Alisa, receiving a lesson from Zaine on how to please a man.
Of course, this meant that they were half naked, which was likely why Jenna and Alisa froze like deer caught in headlights when they saw Draco enter. On the other hand, Zaine flexed her voluptuous breasts and smiled excitedly.
“Draco! This is perfect, can you help me with this?” The succubus asked while beckoning him over.
“Sure babe, wassup?” Draco obliged as he came over to stand beside his woman, not stressing the two princesses who were already trying their best not to scream and overreact.
“I need you to act as a model for my lesson. I’m trying to teach these two beauties how to take care of our son once he reaches sufficient age, but it’s better if they have an actual point of reference.” Zaine explained and folded her arms, highlighting her bouncy breasts even more.
Draco had to sigh. Though he was not a tits man, preferring her Z-grade booty, even he wanted to bury his face into those. Both Zaine and Hikari had the best shaped chests he had ever seen, with Zaine’s being wild and lust-inducing while Hikari’s were pure and sexy.
“Hehe, like what you see? It’s yours anyway.” Zaine snickered playfully.
A lightbulb flashed over Draco’s head. “That’s right, you’re my wife! I don’t have to fantasize about you, I can actually fuck you! Holy shit, I can’t believe I can actually fuck a woman of your caliber!”
Zaine laughed and hugged Draco, kissing him on the cheek. “Draco, you are the silliest and handsomest male I have ever met.”
Draco grinned. “Alright, let me undress before those two voyeurs explode from our public display of affection.”
The two maids in learning, who had been watching with red faces and bated breaths, were now startled to be suddenly pointed out, then became embarrassed. Draco just alighted and receded his armor fully, displaying his naked body.
“Whoa…” Jenna exclaimed.
“I-is that normal…” Alisa murmured with a scared look, pressing her abdomen.
Jenna shook her head calmly. “Nope. He’s super hung. It’s actually kinda scary, but it explains why a succubus married him.”
Alisa nodded, then gazed at her sister with suspicion. “And how do you know that? Wasn’t it just now that you were blushing to take lessons from Lady Zaine?”
Jenna blushed. “That’s because I had never had to learn such stuff. As for stuff about male anatomy, I knew long ago when I was training in the royal barracks. I received no special treament, so I had to piss, shit and bathe with the men and women there, so you see stuff.”
Alisa seemed overwhelmed by this news but Zaine and Draco nodded. A warrior princess was not one who would be shy about such things, unlike this saintess princess who had been sheltered and pious.
It was only that the Jenna of that time took things in stride without actually thinking about it, whereas she was being made to think about it now… not to mention practice it.
Zaine clapped her hands and gathered the attention of the two princesses. “Alright, let’s get back to the topic at hand. As I was saying, the male genital is extremely sensitive in many areas, but there are key areas you have to keep in mind in order to get the best results. The first is here, right under the base of the frenulum, and the second is…”
Zaine was like a surgeon, using Draco’s flaccid dick to highlight the things she was talking about, allowing Jenna and Alisa to come close and view it. At first, they were shy and reactive, but Draco had no interest in sexually interacting with his son’s future maids.
He was not so desperate to steal food from his own son’s mouth. Besides, why bother with these girls when he could bang his son’s mom, who was the world’s sexiest succubus?
Once Alisa and Jenna got used to his presence, they calmed down and became more focused. As for Draco, he just cooperated where Zaine needed him to, and they actually didn’t do anything outrageous.
It was far too early to be teaching these two anything about actual sex and sexual activities since Loki was still a toddler, despite his advanced mental age which was that of a teenager’s by now. Soon, the lesson came to an end and Draco reassembled his cloth armor as the two princesses were sent to wait on Loki.
As for Zaine, she came to hug Draco from the front and gazed into his eyes.
Draco chuckled. “This would be much cuter if you were shorter than me.”
Zaine giggled. “Now that I think about it, all of us Four Beauties are practically the same height as you.”
Draco nodded. “I could be taller, but I think my current height is fine. It’s the best balance between power and speed, and it allows me to be versatile. It’s one of the reason I succeeded as a player before unlocking Control.”
“Yes, and it’s also the perfect height to be a cute and sexy magical boy, no?” Zaine teased.
Draco rolled his eyes. “Ugh, not you too. I really have lost all my dignity.”
“Mhm, as if you ever cared about that.” Zaine pointed out mercilessly, nonplussed.
“Hmph, you wicked succubus, it seems that this Lightbringer must smite you back to the Devil World.” Draco said righteously, releasing steam from his nose.
Zaine seemed interested as her voice became huskier. “Oh? And how does Sir Lightbringer intend to do that?”
Draco rubbed his chin. “I will do so using the Holy Rod of Power and Justice!”
Now it was Zaine’s turn to roll her eyes. “That name totally broke my suspension of disbelief.”
“Hahaha, that is probably because the name is so unique and magnificent that it snapped you awake!” Draco laughed uproariously as he patted himself on the back.
Zaine felt her IQ that was like a giant tower come crumbling down. Draco simply slapped her thick ass and dragged her into her bedroom, where he began to ‘exorcise’ the succubus.
Judging from the cries of the Royal Devil, she was definitely ‘suffering’ from the power of the ‘holy rod’. Clearly, she would never do evil again. Zaine could only be sent to the ‘shadow realm’ by Draco’s ‘purifying juice’ with one final scream that shook the castle.
When Draco left her room, it was in a far worse state than when he had left Roma. After all, while the gypse and dragon were freaky, the succubus could literally milk him like a cow, and he also had a lot of milk to share.
Draco popped in on the lower floors to see Jenna and Alisa reading to a bored Loki who was floating in the air using the psychic power of Transvection. A blue outline could be seen around him as he idly floated around.
When Loki saw his new guest, his eyes lit up, then he stood in the air regally, pretending to be an expert.
“Old man Draco, you have finally come to visit this Prince.” Loki greeted with a nonchalant glance.
… ‘Old man Draco’?
“Brat, are your eyes clogged with baby powder? How can such a youthful and handsome bloke like me be an old man?” Draco asked with indignation, wondering if his son might have spent too much time with a certain old-timer in his absence.
Loki blew on his non existent nails and polished them arrogantly. “How is This Prince supposed to be able to tell? Anyone above the age of 20 might as well be an ancient undead to me.”
Draco sneered. “Brat, you dare try and age your father to death. Who will regale you with stories of my adventures then?”
Loki’s face changed greatly. “Old m- Pops, you wouldn’t dare!”
Draco folded his arms and turned away. “Hmph, what don’t I, Draco, dare to do?”
Loki’s face became a myriad of colors, from red to green, to purple as he fumed silently. Then, his anger disappeared as he floated into his fathers arms and released his best puppy dog eyes.
“Papa, please don’t be angry. I was just being moody… I actually love you and respect you.” Loki said with his cutest possible voice.
The two princesses by the side who had been watching the whole show were practically melting at the sight. Zaine, who had just recovered, cleaned herself up and had come wobbling down the stairs was also touched.
She only wore a black, silky bathrobe that did little to hide her cleavage and the lower parts of her butt. Her short black hair was a mess, not its usual smooth meticulousness.
However, her skin was radiant and her eyes were full of life. She had just been fed a meal that would be equivalent to a 5-star gourmet for a normal human, so that was a matter of course.
Draco gazed down at his son with a looked that showed he was not moved. “Brat, you can’t trick this ‘old man’. When I started treading upon the Path of Shamelessness, you weren’t even a concept.”
Saying that, Draco cruelly pinched Loki on the nose and pulled. The brat cried out in pain then glared at his father, breaking his facade of cuteness.
“Shit, old man, I want to challenge you to a life and death fight!” Loki squealed with hate.
“Why are you angry, brat? As the Prince of Devils, shouldn’t you be calm, collected and scheming? Could it be that you’re just an arrogant, underdeveloped brat?” Draco asked with a mocking smirk.
Loki choked on his next words and settled down, regaining his arrogant bearing. “I was just acting like a normal baby to see what it feels like to be average.”
Draco’s lips twitched. This brat… was definitely his kid!
Draco eventually brought Loki over and started telling him stories about the previous timeline, especially many events that had occurred during his battle with Shangtian for Eva’s favor before they started going out.
Loki listened with relish, finding the struggles of his dad quite interesting, especially when Draco shared various schemes he had used to undo Shangtian, which was the advantage he had over him. (Editor’s Note; If that is true then that must have been before the great calamity that had befallen Draco’s braincells, aka him turning full on edgelord.)
You could say that 70% of the reason why previous timeline Shangtian was so cunning and smart compared to this timeline’s version was due to the humiliation and abuse he had suffered from Draco.
Zaine fixed her hair while she listened by the side, the two princesses acting as an alternative audience. They couldn’t believe what they were hearing, and they were so touched at the struggles Draco went through to win Eva’s heart.
“Wait, then how did you meet mom?” Loki asked with confusion, not able to reconcile the age of Draco in his stories and his current age. Of course, it was two different timelines, but neither Loki nor the princesses knew, while Zaine was aware.
Zaine perked up when the question was asked and gazed at Draco curiously, wanting to hear his version of events.
Draco rubbed his chin. “Your mother and I were initially enemies. I had just descended from the World of the Gods and started my path by trying to warmonger between the Adventurer’s Guild and the Nshaw Tribe.”
Alisa was confused. “But according to what Lady Zaine told us, the Nshaw Tribe are part of your citizens in your kingdom, no?”
“Yeah, but at the time I had yet to found my kingdom. At that moment, they still lived underground and the Adventurer’s Guild lived above ground. I tried to play both sides, so I had one identity when I approached the Adventurer’s Guild and another when I approached the Nshaw Tribe.”
Draco chuckled. “The day I entered, I’ll never forget it. It was the first time I saw your mother. I sensed her with my Control and when she stepped forward, no one in the village could take their eyes off her. She was only 19 back then, but lord in heaven, she was almost as thick as she is now.”
“I pretended that I wasn’t affected by her charm because I wanted to lay a strong front, but I never stopped thinking about her occasionally after that.” Draco revealed honestly.
After all, he might have been in Edgelord Draco mode back then, but he was a bonafide assman. Seeing a babe with a heavenly ass like Zaine definitely impacted him, just that Edgelord Draco was good at controlling such things compared to the current him.
Zaine felt her heart thump and blood rushed through her body. She lowered her head slightly and fiddled with her fingers, feeling extremely happy that Draco was actually interested in her from as far back as then.
As far as she knew, Draco had only started caring about her after she had given birth to Loki and formally joined the ranks of his top women. She had always assumed he had either hated her or disliked her initially for her attempts to scheme against him.
“Hahaha, of course, my mom is the most beautiful succubus! How can an old man like you not fall under her beauty?” Loki laughed happily, proud of his mother.
“That’s right, your mom is the best.” Draco chuckled as he flicked Loki’s nose.
Zaine was so touched that she got up and hugged her two men tightly.
“I love the two of you so much.” Zaine admitted from the bottom of her heart.
Loki floated into her mothers embrace and kissed her cheek. “I love you too, Mama.”
Draco stroked Zaine’s hair gently. “Never sell yourself short. Everyone in this family loves you, especially me and our son.”
The two princesses by the side were practically in tears from this touching scene, their hearts feeling more welcome. Zaine had never beaten or bullied them, always treating them like little sisters, not to mention the sweet Loki who they found adorable.
To them, their current life was fine, far better than being turned into nothingness when the floor shut down. They truly felt like they were members of the Morningstar Clan.
