Guild Wars

Chapter 481 - The Three Stooges

Draco rolled on the ground while screaming unashamedly. He had every right to do so since it had been his reverse scale that had been pierced through, which was the spiritual and physical weak point of every dragon.

The Dark Knight had removed his reverse scale and had used it to power his attack, thereby relinquishing his player-like privilege of getting resurrected by the system.

Draco only stopped after what felt like over a week of pain when his regeneration finally kicked in and repaired the damage from the seed’s intrusion, allowing him to get up from his monkey-like screeching while sweating heavily.

F.u.c.k!

’This damn seed is trying to kill me! After this Daddy Grand Ancestor gave you Origin Energy that I could have used to feed my dogs, you dare to treat me this way?’ Draco thought coldly.

If this seed didn’t manifest some out of the world effects, he would definitely find some way to retaliate!

However, once he checked his body, Draco was left speechless and tongue-tied. Within his body was a large blank space that was darker than the blackest night.

Within this humongous space that he couldn’t even fully measure, there was a small island floating through the void, only noticeable because it was the only source of light around.

It was naturally lit through unknown means, but Draco found himself being pulled to that landmass as his body manifested there.

The island was barren, with only a small river that started from the void and exited into the void, some sparse trees, and a bit of grass here and there. The island was not bigger than a plot of land used to build a suburban house.

In other words, if Draco ran about 30 long steps from the center, he would fall into the void in all directions. However, it was not the darkness, the void, or the small island that flabbergasted him.

No, what really silenced him was the energy he could feel. The purity of energy on this small island was unreal. Thanks to emulating Norma’s Source Origin, he could sense everything up to Origin Energy here in strong quantities.

Draco calmed himself down and first checked the specific details of the Universe Seedling fusion item.

｢Universe Seedling – Fusion item

Rank: Origin

Durability: MAX

Effects:

Passive 1 – Galaxy Transfer: You are able to introduce any foreign element into your sub-universe at will and at all times.

Passive 2 – Universal God: Within your sub-universe, your power is unlimited and unmatchable. You radiate the aura of a minor deity to all external species.

Passive 3 – Aurora Energy: You have access to the most secretive energy known to only creators of a cosmos, Aurora Energy. However, it can only be used within your sub-universe to develop it.

Active 1 – Energy Production: Convert Origin Energy to Aurora Energy at a loss of 30%. No cooldown.

Active 2 – Spawn: Using Origin Energy, randomly spawn a new species of existence unique to your sub-universe that becomes a denizen. No cooldown.

Note: At the current state of super mini small universe, the only beings that can be spawned are Ancients.

Active 3 – Dislocate: Lock away the spatial co-ordinates of this sub-universe, preventing all external entities from discovering or entering it. No cooldown.

Description: This is the foundation of a new universe. A sub-universe in its young stage requires the careful grooming of its creator to stand up among the masses and climb to universe status. However, this sub-universe is formed with the body of its creator, yielding strange effects that are yet to be seen...｣

Draco breathed out lightly. Aurora Energy? During the last timeline, they had believed Divine Energy to be the highest form of energy. It had been quite a revelation from Vadoma to introduce Draco to the concept of Origin Energy back during the Flora and Fauna Unique Quest, yet it had made sense for the Origin Gods to exist.

But for the kind of existence that could create a universe, it was apparently still lacking?! As such, they used this so-called Aurora Energy to create more universes and grow them...

Was it above Origin Energy or actually a different type of energy similar to Origin Energy, perhaps a refined version of the former?

Draco certainly favored the second hypothesis, as he found it hard to believe that using a single Origin Crystal on an Epic seed would create a universe in him that would give him access energy one-tier higher.

If anything, that should require far more Origin Energy than just one crystal.

Draco checked the universe’s menu next to see what it was about. He vaguely remembered that there should be something more here, something that he had forgotten about.

｢Universe Name: Unnamed

Owner: Draco

Tier: 0

Worldly Energy: Unlimited

Aetheric Energy: Unlimited

Divine Energy: Unlimited

Origin Energy: 10%

Indigenes: 0

Plants: 1

Worlds: 0

Draco rubbed his chin. What to name this sub-universe? He was not sure, and would rather wait to link up with Eva before deciding on something concrete.

Draco would have loved to infuse the only Origin Crystal he got from Norma’s legacy into the Seed of Yggdrasil right now, but he would first have to reunite with Eva. As such, Draco finally decided to complete his Unique Quest and meet up with his family.

Two black angelic wings sprouted from his back and he took to the sky, blazing through the air at speeds that would horrify any flying species.

While airborne, Draco couldn’t help but think of his women and his kids. After spending almost a whole year here, Loki and Rosella must’ve grown quite a bit, huh?

Their first birthdays should even be around the corner, and what about little tot Rila? Had she finally gained a few inches of height or was the cute Origin Goddess still warbling about in her oversized gown?

Draco paused these thoughts as he appeared above the Evergreen Manor. He slowly descended and landed in front of the building with a smile on his face.

Draco first noticed that there were a few maids waiting for him once they sensed his arrival. More than half had bulging stomachs as they were more than a few months pregnant.

Draco even saw Lovelia, the formerly arrogant Grandmaster who now sported a large stomach and a soft blush whenever she gazed at Draco. For that matter, he made sure to smile at all his concubines and even chat with a few about how they felt, how things were going and their opinion about the mass migration to the main plane.

Pleased to see that Draco had some care for them, they all responded enthusiastically as they knew they had made the right choice. The father of their children was an exemplary fellow who had wealth, power, great genetics, and limitless talent to the point their Supreme Ancestor had recognized him.

In a world like Boundless, that was all these girls could ask for. Of course, on earth, there was a lot more that went into it. Mostly compatibility and commitment, but that wasn’t a problem here.

Draco entered the manor and quickly dodged to the side as a large paw swiped where he had been before. The next moment, he performed a backflip to avoid the fireball that was aimed at him as well.

Draco smiled as he saw Qiong Qi and Clarent appear before him majestically, both fools wearing expressions of arrogant disdain.

"Vile human whose name I do not know, how dare you enter this Lion King Ancestor’s territory?" Qiong Qi questioned without even bothering to look at Draco.

"Hmph, daring to dodge my Fireball of Truth, how impudent. Do you know what sin you have done?" Clarent added while cleaning his sharp claws idly.

Draco’s lips twitched. "Best buddies, just because we didn’t get to execute Executive Plan Robbe, doesn’t mean that-"

Qiong Qi lost his temper and roared. "Bastard, you still dare to talk about Executive Plan Robbe?!"

Clarent too became unhappy. "Not only that, he’s trying to make excuses too! Former brief associate Draco, please do not insult our intelligence."

Damn!

Draco was left speechless. He didn’t think these two posers had been looking forward to robbing this joint and then scramming for their lives so much. He thought they would rather be happy that things turned out to be nice and easy.

But how could Draco understand? In this life, the things Clarent and Qiong Qi hated the most were peaceful resolutions to any matter. The more violent and chaotic any situation was, the more their blood would pump and the more colorful life became!

What dog inheritance and what dog easy acquisition? Being chased by an angry, screeching spirit of a Semi-Origin God where their life and death could be decided by a single misstep would have been far more interesting than this kind of fairy tale resolution.

Draco had robbed them of this!

That was why the duo felt endless betrayal and resentment from that fellow. Without such high adrenaline types of activities, why had they even accompanied him here in the first place, then?

As for the maids around, they all shared looks of interest and left to continue their tasks, many of them giggling under their breaths. However, the two idiots were too incensed to notice they were being laughed at.

Draco beat his chest and wore a valiant expression. "Dearest Brothers Qiong and Clarent, I, your unworthy Brother Draco, have failed you this day. I hereby swear that this will never happen again, and that I shall always be supportive of our mutual endeavors later on."

Draco even went as far as to bow down in front of the duo, and their angry expressions softened greatly. There was time for play and there was time to be serious, otherwise one might lose their homies forever!

"Hmph, if you weren’t such a handsome bloke, I might not have let this matter go." Qiong Qi ’graciously’ said with folding his arms.

(Author’s Note: Just a reminder; to any Shamelessness Dao practitioner, another person who emulated shamelessness would be a ’handsome bloke’ in their eyes.)

"I don’t want people to say that I, Clarent Kaen-ou, am unreasonable, so let’s end this matter here." Clarent added with a light sigh.

Draco rose and stared at the duo for a long period of time, the other two doing the same. Then, the group suddenly burst into roaring laughter as they rushed at each other.

Draco hugged both Qiong Qi and Clarent, while the two hugged Draco. They gazed at each other with the purest love that two men could have for each other, the fabled bromance!

"Hahaha, but now we own this Treasury and everything in it! Also, I managed to acquire something nice that I’ll show you guys later, but it’s got the making of a crib, in a crib, inside our own crib!" Draco revealed with a grin.

"Sounds interesting, but I want to explore more of those resource areas. There’s some crazy good stuff in there." Qiong Qi replied with a faraway look and a bit of drool.

"Of course, those areas must be looted cleanly in order to foster security, happiness, and development for the world at large." Clarent stated heroically, like a man going to fight the final boss to save the world.

The trio gazed at each other and laughed once again, knowing the true meaning of each other’s words as well as how to interpret their individual and collective bullshit.

Suddenly, Qiong Qi’s laugher slowly reduced in volume as he spoke with a large smile. "But ah, how nice it is to have you in my arms again, Brother Draco. I have been preparing a special gift for you, ever since we set out on this quest."

Clarent also laughed and patted Draco on the back, his arms squeezing the fellow tight into the embrace. "Brother Qiong Qi has cooked up something grand for you. After reconciling, it is best to share gifts among friends, no?"

Draco’s face became pale and he shivered with fear. Last time, Qiong Qi’s ’gift’ had become black after just a few weeks of saving, so what about one he had cooked for months?

Draco immediately used his Apportation to teleport away, but found that it wasn’t working. He turned to see Clarent smiling toothily. "Now, now, no teleportation will work in here. Who knew these guys crafted some anti-portal scrolls and kept them in the library, huh?"

F.u.c.k!

Seeing that Qiong Qi was about to blow, Draco roared in anger. "CLARENT YOU RETARD, IF YOU PREVENT ME FROM ESCAPING IT WILL HIT YOU TOO!"

Clarent’s smug smile was wiped away in an instant as his eyes widened, realizing his folly. He had been tricked and played by Qiong Qi!

Qiong Qi laughed crazily as he also roared with glee. "IT’S TOO LATE TO ESCAPE! I SHALL HONOR YOUR GREAT SACRIFICE BROTHER CLARENT! NOW, HAVE A TASTE OF MY SECRET ULTIMATE FINAL KILLING TECHNIQUE: DEATH BY SNIFF SNIFF!"

BOOM-POOOOOOOOOOOT!

Author’s Note: Nice way to ease myself back into writing GWs. Also, you guys freaked out a bit too much last chapter, I am not dropping GWs. I am basically shifting the priority between it and my second novel.

GWs will still have updates after chapter 500, only that they will be infrequent. Indefinite hiatus simply means that it will not become a consistently updated work until everything is sorted out.

Also, Loser Editor Devils Advocate has posted artwork of Draco in the discord, check it out by joining the server with this code: 8yvf6XkbpQ

Visit and read more novel to help us update chapter quickly. Thank you so much!
