Chapter 1199: True God Core Members
Rina soon came out of the third trial space looking refreshed and soothed from her depths to her fore. If there was anything better than getting filled up by Draco's essence, then it was watching other beings writhe in agony beyond what they could clearly handle.
She dusted down her robes before walking into the white area which was now full of resplendent light. The AI did not waste time in giving her reward in order to get these fellows out of its hair which was definitely tangled and messy with stress.
「System to Player Announcement

Rina immediately felt her sealed law returning to her, and to her surprise, the jewel that formed her law increased by one size, becoming twice as large as before, but more than twice as potent.
Likewise, the divine energy she controlled in her body which was initially the size of a small sea expanded crazily, covering endless illusionary space to become the size of a small planetary object.
Rina felt like she could wash the entire main plane with her Divine Energy and smother her foes to death without even using an attack, but that would be severely wasteful behavior.
As for the other things, she could not directly feel them but she knew they were there. Out of curiosity, she opened her character panel as well as her three new skills.

Rina took in the new look of her character panel with awe, as well as the new skills. She checked her old skills and saw the Divine Points, thing but she was not clueless since Eva had explained it in detail to the core members.
Rina then noticed that a nearby portal lit up, which showed the end of the Divine Ascension Road, so she casually walked across it towards her destination. When she passed through, she felt her entire body sublimate as the world began to form around her, bringing her to a new chapter of her life…
......…..
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Dramatic lights exploded in the Divine Church as the core members materialized one by one, the aura of a True God fresh from the factory exploding from their bodies wantonly as they were not yet skilled in controlling it.
Luckily, the people receiving them were more than powerful enough to ignore these auras, so nothing went awry. Eventually, the core members full appeared, all 59 of them, and they glanced at each other to see who was first and last.
"Don't bother, the rankings have been released by the system." Draco caused their attention to focus on him with his words.
Seeing their guild leader and boss after so long, many core members felt emotional. Now, the years that had passed began to weigh on them greatly, making them aware of just how much had changed and how quickly it had done so.
Many wanted to rush up and hug him, like Lilith, while others had seen him recently, like Rina or Gremory, so the responses were mixed. Before they could do that though, they had to address the first issue, which was that this place was too crowded!
The Divine Church was only a small chapel at its current tier as it had been waiting for the core members to ascend in order to begin its upgrade process. As such, Draco teleported everyone outside the church, allowing them to see the world of the Divine Realm for the first time.
They had to admit… it was bleak. Holy fuck, the skies were filled with a pervasive grey mist that seemed to want to devour everything and the horizon was barely visible beyond that.
Was that the fabled grey rot? It truly lived up to the name of an apocalyptic existence, just being near it caused them to feel tense.
Nightwalker's eyes narrowed as he was the controller of all apocalypses with Jormangandr, but even this one was new to them both. Thew worst part was that this kind of apocalypse could not be recreated by him at all!
Even more than that, if he dared to try and collect this apocalypse into his calamity space, he would likely be polluted as well! His apocalypses would under go an apocalypse!!
What the fuck kind of existence had the AI let into its world just for content?!?
"You understand the issue now huh?" Nightwalker heard Draco say to him with a knowing look.
Nightwalker's face changed when he remembered that Draco was the primogenitor, so while he had Jormangandr at 99%, Draco had Jormangandr at 100%! If even Draco had to carefully tread around this apocalypse, then this grey rot was not just a source of riches, but truly something dangerous!
Draco patted Nightwalker on the shoulder. "Don't fret too much. No matter how strong it is, it is not an Eternal level existence. With time and effort, we can clear it, but that comes down to your efforts."
Saying this, Draco turned to the others. "Now that you are all here, Umbra will began functioning in the Divine Realm. First, you will all be enshrined in our church here so that you can accumulate faith energy and store your divine spirit, then you will have to bring all your family and friend sup here and lodge them.
Note that for the purpose of establishing an economy, this will cost you Aether Coins."
"The first thing you are to do is to wait for us to upgrade the Divine Church up to the Tier of 2 and then we will issue pantheon titles, pantheon missions and a pantheon shop so that we can get the framework working. How does this sound guys?" Eva stepped forward and glanced at everyone calmly, adopting the demeanor of the Lady Boss of the past.
The core members nodded and then opened portals to return to the lower realm on the spot. Now that they had ascended to the Divine Realm using the orthodox method, they could come and go between it and the main plane.
Of course, a part of it was because they were given Spacetime and Element Regulation ahead of time and learned these skills on the spot to be able to make use of one of the main different between True Gods and players.
Watching them go down, the Evil Trio sorted out those who didn't leave like Gremory, Lilith, Dante, Akihito, Kiyoko, Yui, Dominic, Isabella and Draco's cousin, Antonio.
Antonio was the brat who was talking down to Draco, the second child of Dominic, and his son. After learning the truth, like other youths of the clan, he was disillusioned and heart broken, but Draco generously rose him up and took him as a brother.
After that, who knew the fellow would become like Kuro, calling Draco respectfully and following him like a personal bodyguard? Why do you think Draco mostly spent his time in the Divine Realm rather than the Morningstar World if not to hide form this enthusiastic fellow?
After all, there was always a 40% chance at any given moment that he might lose his rationality and pounce on the irresistible Zaine, while there was a 20% chance that if Rina was around, she would seduce him due to her uncontrollable desire for him.
How could Draco return to his baser instincts if the fellow was always at his back?
Right now, the fellow eyes were shining as he greeted Draco respectfully, which made Ev and Shuangtian endlessly amused since they could sense Draco's discomfort. Meanwhile, Gremory, who was far more mature than before, walked over with a skip in her step.
"Yo big bro and lil bro, check out my new law!" She boasted with pride.
「Name: Endless Life
Rank: True God
Race: Human
Law Grade: EX
Divine Essence: 0/10,000
Law: The Law of Pure Evil (Basic).
Source Origin Rank: Satellite
Divine Energy: 100%/100% (1,200,000)
Combat Skills: Omitted.
Non-Combat Skills: Omitted.

"Oh? Law of Pure Evil, huh? Now what about my cute and adorable little sister is so evil, hmm?" Draco teased Gremory with a look of gentleness in his eyes.
Antonio by the side suddenly became speechless. Bro, you might not be able to see it due to your blind affection for her, but Gremory was a basket case as bad as auntie Fyre and auntie Lilith put together.
These three, coupled with dragging his mom, Isabella, along, had caused such ruckus in the main plane during Umbra's conquest that literal religions were created with them as the main antagonist or devil-like figures.
Gremory had a strong bloodline and the class options she could have gotten were diverse, but the system specifically gave her the former 'Princess of Evil' Divine class and she also chose it too.
Not to mention…
"Aunt Gremie!!" Lucitera squealed as she hugged Gremory happily, rubbing her face in her chest.
"Aunt Gremie, hello." Lucitian was just as enthusiastic, but did not act as overtly, simply sidling up to Gremory with a smile of childish fondness that one had for that favorite aunt or uncle.
After all, Gremory and Lilith had spent the most time with Draco's children since they joined the game years ago. Dante, Dominic, Isabella, Litian, Bingtian and the others also spent time with them, but these two practically made it their main task.
If it wasn't for Draco's insistence, Gremory and Lilith might have spent all their days in the Morningstar World instead of leveling up to catch up to the others. Because of this, the children were incredibly fond of Aunt Gremie and Grandma Lilith, for more reasons than one.
They liked Gremory because she was playful and mischievous, often giving them new ideas on how to be evil little cunts. The stunt Lucitian and Lucitera just pulled earlier was taught to them by Gremory, but she did not know that these brats would actually use it on her darling brother!
As for Lilith, they liked her because she was as bad as Zaine, overly protective of their faults and not tolerating any criticism of the children. If this was a typical eastern fantasy novel, she would be that unreasonable young master's mother who would infuriate both the audience and the main character into slaughtering the entire clan.
Unfortunately for those who would be offended by the kids of the Morningstar Family in the future, this clan was indestructible, so one can only take the L.
