As Sigurd left, the commotion finally calmed down and everyone relaxed. The members of the Morningstar family did not hesitate to return to the inner universe where it was safe, having lost their curiosity for the main plane where they could be attacked and slaughtered at will.

As for the Dragons, they hesitated, but remained outbound. There was no reason to return now that they had life and a proper home. They just had to make sure they were never caught offguard and would be battle ready at all times.

First things first, they worked with the automations to repair the damage from the battle and restore the central area of the Ancestral Dragon City back to perfection. Draco also helped out by issuing command to the automated factory that produced automatons to build more.

However, his expression was pensive the whole time, and so too was Eva's. The both knew that most of this was their fault, and the price paid was too heavy to think about.

It might seem like Draco one-upped Sigurd and sent him crying without sustaining any personal losses, but that was a misconception. Things only worked out because Draco was a reincarnator firstly and knew about the Impartial Arbitration, secondly because he inadvertently signed a contract with the Supreme Pantheon to protect himself for a whole other reason, and thirdly because his and Eva's bloodlines were practically omnipotent, so like dragon balls, they could solve any situation when activated.

However, why did Sigurd come here in the first place? Why did he come so late when the Dragons had long been revived? Why not appear in Vita Kingdom, but rather here?

Well, that was not in response to reviving the dragons. That was completing a quest, not opening a new one, so the rewards were doled out. Nothing would have realistically happened.

What caused Sigurd to come, was Draco and Eva perusal of the Divine Draconic Treasury.

Not surprising, is it? The whole thing about equality and difficulty was exactly that. It was one thing for Draco to gather dragons and resurrect them, that was an objectively hard task only made possible because of specific fortuitous encounters.

Not to delve into the cause and effect too much, but the long and short was that the Restore the Dragon Race Quest was hard and Draco completed it using methods that alleviated the difficulty. So he got his rewards without having to pay an extra prices because that precisely was the price to pay.

The Divine Draconic Treasury though, was something he should have only gotten temporary access to at the basic level, with a withdrawal limit and only able to make a selection once. Due to his outstanding completion of the quest, this got bumped to 3 keys.

Upon entry, he was verified to be the new master through a slew of tricks and hidden benefits due to his bloodline and his actions in the past, so the situation changed.

Draco now owned and had access to tens of thousands of divine items, thousands of semi-origin and hundreds of Origin items along with one Pseudo-Eternal item. These are things he acquired due to identity and did not have to pay a price for, so the price was calculated on the spot.

Luckily for Draco and Eva, they did not touch anything and only looked, which was why the 'easy to deal with' Sigurd was thrust upon them.

You can be sure that if they wantonly withdrew or touched things, what would come upon their heads would be maddening.

Just think about it. Put aside the Divine items and think about Semi origin and origin. Who would need these most? Likely True Gods and Semi-Origin go respectively.

So if Draco touched divine items, he would likely have to deal with Rank 7 fellows as well as Titled Gods, if he touched Semi-Origin items, he would likely have to deal with True Gods and if he touched Origin items, he would have to deal with Semi-Origin Gods.

Lets not talk about the Pseudo-Eternal item, it was likely a true origin God would break the balance to descend. One should know that both the Eternal tree and the Token naturally produced Origin energy, something which the Origin Gods were forced to do every second of their lives to stabilize the universe.

If they could get an item like the token, they could let it act as a buffer and go on an extended break before they had to top up.

If they had the Eternal tree, the universe would be saved and they could be free to roam the world and do as they please, oppressing True Gods and mortals alike.

So them getting Sigurd was only for the crime of 'looking'. If they touched anything… whew lad. It was also mostly a warning and a reminder, so Draco and Eva planned to ignore the Treasury until they gained the requisite power to deal with the crisis it would create.

For now, Draco and Eva returned to the Dragon Palace with Hikari, Zaine and Roma, along with Draco's kids. Draco sat in the Clan head's throne and transformed into a black dragon before speaking to his family.

"What just happened was out fault. Its because we discovered wealth and power beyond what we deserve at this time, and triggered the universal rule of 'risk and reward'. Luckily, we did not touch any of the goods there, or our ending would have been far worse."

Draco then described what he saw in the Divine Draconic Treasury, and the breaths of everyone caught. They grievance at being attacked disappeared and was filled with excitement for the future.

Divine items! Just that alone was enough to greatly changes their fates! One should know that not even True Gods necessarily had Divine items for themselves!

While they understood that it couldn't be easily taken now, they were willing to wait. After all, none of them were simple, and their prowess could easily cross ranks.

They were Rank 5 right now, but they could already barely resist Rank 7 foes. Hikari could even slightly resist True Gods on account of her Divine Source Origin, so she was in a different league altogether.

On account of their prowess, Divine items would simply make them invincible among True Gods, not to mention the better items above. Just thinking of this beautiful future was enough to make them feel positive.

Seeing that they were in a good mood, Draco was satisfied. He had been suppressing his greed for the items so as to not provoke a calamity, but he also didn't like the feeling of being oppressed.

He wasn't exactly bleeding for high-end items and his current prowess was enough to make him somewhat invincible thanks to their bloodline. But this event reminded Draco of something important, and that was to clean the house.

In other words, now that their bloodlines had reached 100%, there was no way the AI could dare to call their classes Divine classes anymore. They were at least Origin Rank, if not Eternal. They had given the AI a great amount of time to analyze their new bloodline and come up with ways of improvement for it, so it was time to cashout on that.

As such, Draco left his people in the Ancestral City of Dragons and also informed the leaders of umbra about the city and the rules. Sublime noted that she would immediately handle administrative procedures for it, so Draco was not worried about any trouble.

The Evil Duo then traveled to Cario City using Luxia's speed, arriving at the top of the building in a flash of light. Upon disembarking, the used a special entrance to go in from the top and take the elevator down to the Training Hall of the Rank 7 Guild Hall.

There, as usual, where hundreds of Umbra members training, sparring or coming to try for Class Up. When they saw the guild leaders, everyone stopped to bow and greet, and Draco and Eva spoke to many of them.

Seeing as they were here anyway, they decided to give many people pointers and even held a short class to help them get on the right path towards unlocking Control.

One should know, only the core members currently had Control thanks to Draco's works, as well as a few members of the Expert level who were part of the Inter-Player Tournament. The rest were close, but they still had a ways to go.

This reminded Draco that it was about time to release the tower in Vita Kingdom and make it mainstay of their guild and territory. He decided to handle that after the task at hand, so he and Eva entered Private rooms and did the usual.
