Humming a tune that she had remembered after a long long time, Venessa walked towards the lounge where everyone was gathered.
Right outside the door, she found her dear Shadow standing there, waiting for her, wearing a frown on her face.
"Master," Sibyl called out to her, and she smiled at the silver-haired lady.
"Yes?"
Seeing the smile on her face, the lady hesitated and failed to find words for a good few seconds.
Venessa, of course, knew what was on her Shadow's mind.
As a person who had stayed by her side all her life, aware of all her secrets, it was reasonable that she was very confused after Leilah broke the False Reality that she had put them under.
"I seemed to have had a dream, but it felt real... And..."
"Oh?"
The playfulness in her voice caused Sibyl to frown some more and lower her head.
"Why does everyone believe that you married Michael Demiliore?" She politely asked and relaxed a lot when Venessa giggled at her words.
"Does it matter?"
"No." She wisely shook her head, but she was still confused about something.
She was there when Venessa had birthed Keith, and she had been by her side all her life.
There was never a day when she had not been by her side back then.
So, if Venessa and Michael were never married, then...
"You are curious who Keith's father is?"
"I..."
"I was born with him inside of me. And when the time came, I birthed him." She answered.
Hearing the words, her eyes widened a little, and she raised her head to meet her Master's eyes.
"He's biologically my little brother." Venessa smiled at the shock on Sibyl's face. "But I am still his mother. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Master." She understood that her Master did not want her to be talking about these things, and the answer she had received was enough for her.
"Treat those fading memories as just dreams. They have nothing to do with reality."
As soon as Sibyl nodded to her words, she gently cupped her cheek and then opened the door, walking inside the lounge.
The conversation she just had with Sibyl had been isolated by her, and a subconscious smile formed on her lips when she saw Minami stand up and approach her.
Her dear daughter curiously looked at her, checking if she was alright, and when she raised her brow at her, the girl smiled.
"You missed dinner."
"It's fine." She smiled and patted her head before looking at everyone in the room.
Fiona, Harud, and Victor had returned as well, and all of them seemed quite excited right now.
"If you want, we can leave right away." She knowingly said, and Qingyue frowned a little.
"Keith said that we will leave in the evening..."
"He has already taken care of the thing he came here for," she informed them, and Kiara and Kashish immediately understood her words.
Yes, Keith had already acquired the Blood Essence of the Arcylarix.
"Go, wake him up." She gently told Sibyl, who obediently nodded her head and went to wake him up.
In an instant, seeing that they were really leaving in the morning, everyone broke into bright smiles.
Helena and Ingvild openly high-fived, but there were two girls who were frowning as they looked at Venessa.
Rebecca and Avriel could no longer see past her strength, which they found quite odd, and both of them felt the divinity that surrounded her.
Not even Gods would have been able to sense these things, but these two girls were her daughters, and so, they were quite keen on these things.
"Guess who we have here." Venessa took out the Egg that she was keeping in her hidden crown, and as soon as everyone saw what was in her hand, gasps were heard.
"Which Magical Beast is it?!" Helena excitedly rushed over, curiously looking at the Egg from up close, and Minami instinctively reached forward to touch the shell, sensing the life inside it.
She could not understand why she felt a sense of familiarity with the baby beast that was inside the Egg, but her eyes soon widened when an image came to her mind.
"Milo?" The girl expectantly looked at her Mother, and as soon as she nodded her head, a bright smile bloomed on Minami's face.
"How?" Qingyue too was amazed, but more than anything, she was confused.
"Leilah sent his soul into Samsara, and he was reborn," She informed the grey-eyed girl, who frowned but still nodded her head. "Let's wake him up."
Listening to her words, all of them gathered around, and then Venessa, under their curious eyes, made a small cut on her forefinger and placed it in the egg.
Under the nourishment of her Aura and Mana that she poured into it, the Egg started brightening up.
There was a sizzling sound accompanying the cracks that started appearing on the Egg, and then the shell completely broke apart, turning into specks of light that flew out before stopping and rushing back into the small cub, whose roar made their hearts tremble.
When the light subsided, all of them saw a small white cub in Venessa's hands.
The cub looked just like Void, with the exception that its coat was white instead of black, and when it opened its beautiful cyan-coloured eyes, Helena, who was standing by Venessa's side, loudly gasped.
"Eee!" The little cub cutely yelped before it jumped onto Venessa's shoulder and started licking her face, making her giggle, but then it seemed to sense someone and turned to look at Minami.
The next second, it was in her arms and giving her kisses on her face, which warmed up everyone's heart.
Those who had been there when Milo passed away, remembered how sad Minami was, and seeing them together once again, their hearts warmed up.
On the other side, inside a room, Keith was lying in a bed with his eyes closed, and he was conversing with his System, who had returned a while ago.

"The Second Coming of Eve?" He frowned. "It's impossible for a God to enter Reincarnation. And what happened to her does not seem like a normal Rebirth that the Gods use to escape Death."
{Indeed, Host.} The System answered. {She entered the flow of Samsara, but she achieved Rebirth and avoided the consequences of Reincarnation. She also brought you along with her and saved her Blood inside of you. The Blood Drop that was given to her was entrusted to us by her before she entered the Flow of Samsara.}
"And how's that possible?"
{Her crown is special.}
"A Forbidden Treasure?"
{Yes, Host.}
"She created you?"
{No.}
"Did you belong to her before me?"
{No.}
Keith opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps approach the door, and he slowly sat up when Sibyl knocked on it and entered the room.
She curiously looked at him, and seeing the smile on his face, she smiled as well.
"Everyone is waiting for you, Master."
"Do you want to leave right now?"
"Yes," She nodded her head and blushed a little when she suddenly found herself in his arms.
"Really?" He playfully whispered in her ear, and her face warmed up even more.
"I can't keep her waiting, Master." She was not going to commit a dereliction of duty and keep Venessa waiting.
Orders were orders, and even though she knew that her Master would not blame her, she was still not going to act wilfully.
"Fine. We will make love after arriving on Amaya." He grinned and then teleported away with her.
"Eee!" As soon as he arrived inside the lounge, a white blur lunged at him, and he caught it in his embrace.
Looking at the soulful cyan eyes, Keith's heart skipped a beat, and then a bright smile formed on his lips.
"Welcome back, Milo."
"Eee!"
He laughed when the cub started showering its loveable licks on his face.
"Do you want to meet Void?"
As soon as he took the name of its old friend, the cub became more excited, and Keith sent it inside Aerzar, right where Void was sleeping.
"Shall we go?" He then turned to look at everyone, and he heard a deafening "yes" from them.
Keith sent everyone to Aerzar, and when he was the only one left inside the room, he teleported himself to the top of the Tower.
Glancing one last time at the world around him, he closed his eyes and cleared up his mind.
It took a few minutes for him to drop down the shield, and then the Law of Judgement locked onto him.
He did not open his eyes, but he sensed the streaks of lightning surrounding him, and he was quite amazed at how comforting the bolt of lightning that fell on him was.
As soon as Keith disappeared from Gaia, two figures suddenly appeared on the spot he had disappeared from.
"Interesting." Leilah giggled, and the girl by her side smiled as well.
They were amused at where Keith had landed on Amaya.
"His luck is quite bad, Master."
"Maybe." The Goddess of Infinity mysteriously smiled.
"Those in the Temple of Destiny have found out that the Plans of Destiny in this world had been tampered with. The moment you broke the False Reality that hid Lady Evelyn from their eyes, they realised the truth. They are growing restless."
"It's too late." She smiled. "Both Eve and Keith have awakened. The daughters that Eve had asked the Divine Laws for, have come to life and found Keith. The Vows have been initiated, and they are now beyond the influence of the Temple of Destiny."
"Those fools are not going to sit back. You broke the pact." The girl playfully said, and even though she was talking about some very powerful Gods and Goddesses, she did not seem to be worried.
"Is that so?" Leilah smiled. "I want to see how far they dare to go."
The girl giggled and then looked at the sky, wearing a sweet smile on her face.
Her magical blue eyes were shining in playfulness, and soon her lips pouted, almost in a complaint.
"You will meet him soon, Anna."
"I know. I can't wait to play with him." She grinned, and Leilah smiled at her words before she disappeared together with her.
In a different world, the moment Keith opened his eyes, he could not help but be stunned at the scene in front of him.
How could anyone's luck be so bad?
