Chapter 609 - Floor 17
Within the Inner Universe, there was a newly built evil manor. It had Draconic, Devilish, and Demonic symbols all over, but they only added to the ambiance, rather than having any concrete purpose.
Within this vile manor, the evilest activity had just taken place. Four of the world's most beautiful, powerful, and sexy women had been defiled by one man using his clones and avatars.
This man was currently rising from a soft body that had been pressed beneath him on a heavenly cloud, a beauty so great that she couldn't easily be defined by words.
However, she was indisputably the most visually beautiful woman in the entire world, and no one could disagree on that. Her smile, frown, and laughter would be enough for many to simmer on for the rest of their lives, feeling blessed.
Yet here she was, ravaged silly by this brute, her entire body stained with her fluids and his own. Eva had long since passed out, being the last of the four to do so because of her power which was on the same level as Draco.
It had taken him great effort to subdue her, but it hadn't been impossible. He turned to his left, regarding the Black Dragon that had thoroughly laid waste to Hikari.
Her Dragon Form was slouched on the ground, her eyes dazed and delirious. Her lower side was thoroughly stained all over, only revealing her legs and her tail.
The Black Dragon only got off her at that moment with a vicious smile, placing a paw on her head and pressing it down while Hikari obediently kept her eyes to the ground, paying respects to her mate's power.
Draco then looked to his right. He saw Zaine bent over the Evil Altar with her ass up, both of her holes leaking white fluid as she twitched endlessly. Her tongue was out and her eyes had almost rolled back into her head.
The Dark Angel revealed tentacles that ended in penises that had been plunged into Zaine's holes just moments before, pumping her full of cum. Her stomach was bloated by all the semen from mouth, vagina, and ass, leaving the succubus defeated.
Draco then looked in front of himself, seeing the Horned Demon casually hopping out of the blood pool looking refreshed and chipper. Swimming in the sea of blood was Roma, floating along like a raft.
Her lovely round breasts were facing the air, with the liquid passing over it occasionally. Where Roma floated, white had overtaken the red color, leaking from her lower body and her mouth like she was foaming.
Roma too was utterly dazed and defeated, unable to form a coherent thought as she twitched weakly.
The clones left and returned to Draco's side. All of them admired their work for a short while before the other three faded away, returning to where they came from. He couldn't keep them out forever after all.
Draco had really enjoyed this experience. Since he was them and they were him, he felt the sensations and memories they did. All four of them felt the same thing, which heightened their pleasure and maliciousness.
It was different from when he alone tackled all four of them were he could only do them one by one. Doing all four of his beauties at once was an experience Draco would never forget, and would surely revisit some other time.
"Rest babes, Father Draco is off to teach some retards a lesson." Draco muttered with a light smile as he left them where they were, satisfied yet incapacitated.
When he left the manor, he looked up to see the Eternal Tree piercing into the darkness of the void, its height beyond anything anyone could see. He smiled slightly and disappeared from the Inner Universe.
When Draco re-appeared in the castle, he directly entered the next floor right away. He didn't go and check on his shop because barely a few hours had passed since he had last passed through.
Not to mention, his plans had slightly changed now that the Tower had offended him.
Draco appeared on the 17th floor, he noticed that he was - once more - in captivity. Only Eva appeared beside him, her eyes still dazed as she still hadn't fully recovered. Qiong Qi and Clarent were also with them, bound and tethered to a cage the two shared.
「The Seventeeth Floor – Divine Quest
Description: You fought valiantly against the Sentinel Invasion, despite being abandoned by the forces of humans who you trusted. Alas, you couldn't avoid your fate of being captured by the mental prowess of the Intelligence Sentinel.

Provision 2: You have full use of all your powers and abilities in the same way as you would outside.
Rewards: Score Points, 1 Bronze-Tier Reward Selection.」
Draco saw this and smirked. Rather than break out right away, he was content to let them lead him to their bastion so he could wreak utter havoc and take what he wanted.
He turned to Eva who was still out cold and leaned over her. His soulmate's nostrils flared as if she could smell the scent of Draco's evil, her eyes opening immediately as she returned to wakefulness.
She slowly got to her feet, looking around with surprise as well as… worry and fear?
Draco's expression changed greatly. He had never seen Eva show fear in years since she was… oh!
Eva then faced Draco and then blushed, looking down shyly. "H-Hi Draco…"
Draco immediately understood the situation.
Evaterasu, her mixture of Amaterasu and Riveting Night, was benevolent, slightly shameless, and very individualistic. That version of her took the fore, and was what he had abused until she lost sensibilities.
She still hadn't recovered, so one of Eva's other two thoughtstreams came to the fore. There were two others, the classic Riveting Night who was crazy, evil, malicious, and very dependent on Draco to even breathe.
Then there was the original Eva, the young 21-year-old girl whose mind was hijacked by Riveting Night one day and then suddenly Amaterasu the next. She had been suppressed by both of them but still existed because neither Riveting Night nor Amaterasu could bear to eliminate the relatively normal girl she represented.
One should remember, just like how Original Draco had been a soft-hearted loser with a shameless personality, Original Eva had been a much-desired girl who had been forced to hide her face every day while avoiding the annoying Ao Shangtian.
She wasn't a cold beauty, but had only worn that facade to protect herself. It was the shameless and silly Draco who had eventually worn those walls down and won her love thoroughly.
Of course, Draco back then had enjoyed the teachings of his Big Sister Sublime Notion who had taught him how to be a fuckboy. With her best friend on Draco's side, his own charm, how could Eva not be conquered?
Since the one in control was Original Eva, Draco guessed that Riveting Night was being thoughtful, letting Draco meet his first love again.
Looking at the shy Eva, Draco's heart almost exploded in his chest as his expression softened. He rushed over to hug Eva gently and firmly, gently caressing her hair.
"God, how I've missed you, Eva."
Eva was stunned by his sudden embrace, but blushed and lowered herself into his chest. She had a wealth of emotions she wanted to express right now after receiving this chance to come to the fore, but hearing Draco's heartfelt words soothed her heart.
She was already aware of the two timelines and everything else, obviously, knowing how much she loved Draco. She raised her head up from Draco's chest and looked into his eyes.
"Draco, I…" Eva began but was silenced by a soft kiss on her lips. To Draco, Eva when she was innocent like this was too beautiful for him to even think straight.
Riveting Night had that crazy vibe that made her beauty seem dangerous and deadly while Evaterasu's behavior made her beauty feel natural and Goddess-like.
However, this Eva had a gentle and slightly naive vibe about her, making her beauty seem down to earth and absolutely heartwarming.
She looked soft and fragile, making one worry that hugging her too tightly might cause her to shatter, eliciting strong feelings of protection.
Draco and Eva kissed like this for a long while, eventually separating. Eva was red to her ears, but her eyes glistened with happiness.
"Thank you, Draco. I love you." Eva said while gazing into Draco's eyes, showing her soul that was clear as a lake.
Draco continued caressing her hair as she smiled. "I love you too, Eva. All of you."
Eva giggled. "Hehe, we know."
"Look at you feeling all smug. Right, where's my beloved madwoman?" Draco asked with amusement.
Eva smiled playfully. "She's here, watching quietly. Want to see her?"
Draco nodded with a light in his eye. It had truly been a while since he had spent time with Riveting Night.
Eva's entire aura changed suddenly from silly and gentle to ferocious and full of killing intent. Qiong Qi and Clarent who had been fast asleep at the side with snore bubbles suddenly yelped and woke up.
"FUCK, THEY'RE DROPPING THE BOMBS! GET INTO THE FUCKING SHELTER, CLARENT!" Qiong Qi screeched as he thrashed about.
"ARRGH, THEY BLEW OFF MY TAIL! BROTHER QIONG QI, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!" Clarent howled pathetically as he too made a ruckus.
Riveting Night opened her eyes, displaying her now golden pupils which were flashing between black and golden intermittently. This surprised Draco, as it seemed Riveting Night was able to somewhat access the Abyssal Eye, which he and Evaterasu assumed was thoroughly cleansed.
Soon, her eyes eventually settled into the familiar pitch black color that seemed like it could suck you into the abyss, which was why she even had chosen the nickname Riveting Night.
Draco laughed and spun her around in the air, smiling widely. "Well, well, if it isn't my crazy murderer. How are you, my love?"
Riveting Night enjoyed the feeling of being held by her soulmate and gazed at him with a soft look which contrasted her vile aura. "I've really missed being your shadow."
Draco nodded. "Y'all shouldn't let Evaterasu bully you too much. It's fine to come out now and then so that I can spread my love between all of you. God knows I have an endless amount to share!"
Riveting Night had slightly red cheeks and nodded meekly. "Okay."
Clarent and Qiong Qi, who had roused themselves, saw this going on and had their jaws collide with the floor. Their mouths were so wide open that they could likely swallow a barrel.
The two shared an uncertain look. Was this really the fabled Lady Boss? They knew she had become milder after accepting her bloodline, but this aura was clearly the version they were much more familiar with.
Hehe, who knew she could make such an expression! Should we spread it around that she is just a big softie and ruin her reputation?
Just as these nefarious thoughts passed through their minds, their bodies froze as Eva, who had been smiling gently one moment, trained her black eyes on them.
Seeing the dark swirl within that promised to consume their souls, as well as her trademark expression like she was looking at garbage, made the two fellows shiver.
Qiong Qi and Clarent realized that death was upon them, and they reacted quickly.
"Little Cat greets Empress Lady Boss!" Qiong Qi roared as he bowed servilely.
"Xiao Puff-puff greets Goddess Eva!" Clarent also bellowed beside Qiong Qi as he bowed fearfully.
Riveting Night's killing intent receded a bit as she was mollified by their words. She simply harrumphed and looked away, deleting the existence of the two stooges from her mind the next moment.
Both Draco and the other two smiled wryly. They had forgotten that this crazy woman treated her memory as a very precious resource and refused to keep information of people she deemed worthless within.
Draco lowered Eva down from his embrace and gazed outside. The Sentinels had ignored their little lovey-dovey, not even deigning to look at them. This made Riveting Night's eyes flash with malice.
However, Draco stopped her. "I agree, lets kill them instead of waiting passively. However, lets first allocate the extra experience we got to our growth items. Then we can harvest them all."
Riveting Night settled down and agreed.
They both had 33139% extra experience if one did not count the 99% needed to keep them at the cap of their Rank/level.
Draco shared this between Pair Dadeni and Mjolnir first, while Eva invested in her Divine Symbol.

Riveting Night's eyes narrowed. "These Sentinels are really useful for earning experience. Let's genocide their entire race and use it to power all our growth items."
Draco smiled brightly. "I had the exact same thought!"
Sharing a look, the Evil Duo smiled. It had been quite a while since they had shown the world why they were called the 'Evil Duo' as Evaterasu was not very evil.
Draco raised a finger and gathered torrents of Worldly Energy over as a huge fireball formed above his finger. When it reached the size of a pillow, he tossed it forward, colliding with the cage they were trapped in.
This naturally blew the metal open while the rest of it had superheated, melting into molten metal. The first to rush out was Clarent, who flapped his wings and took to the sky with a loud roar.
After him was Qiong Qi who did three flips in the air, roared majestically, and slid across the ground coolly before coming to a calm stop.
The Evil Duo calmly exited the cage, taking in the sight of the surrounding Sentinels that were gazing at them with shock. It was as if they could not fathom how their group could have escaped like this.
Draco raised a finger and fired a Lightning Bolt towards a Strength Sentinel casually. The frozen entity was hit in the eye, screaming in pain as it clutched its head. This triggered the others as they roared and rushed the group.
Eva's eyes flashed as he disappeared from where she was and appeared on the right shoulder of a Strength Sentinel using Spacetime Regulation's space-related techniques.
She then flourished her two shortswords, the Chaotic Blade, and stabbed into the Strength Sentinel's neck! ... at least that's what should have happened.
However, Riveting Night was left speechless when she saw that her hands were empty. That's right, she had given the blades away as her Celestial Prime was magic-focused.
She could use any weapons for sure, just like Draco, but Evaterasu had clearly favored using magic and flashy attacks as opposed to Riveting Night who always struck critical points and was more about function than form.
