“What!!?” Allen’s eyes widened in shock!

Even all the people present in the room was startled.

“It can be done by giving the life force of another to someone. In a result, most of my retainers depleted their life force and died,” said Eliade categorically.

Holy sh*t! Except for Allen and Ava, everyone inside the room can’t help but felt shocked.

She did that? She’s really crazy! And she’s even talking as if what she did was nothing!?

“However, one mistake and Ciel’s life would be in danger!” Allen frowned.

Giving life to a fetus is not as easy as one would think. Besides, there should be some side effects for quickening a baby’s growth.

“I have already prepared everything and besides I also gave most of my life to her so that there would be no side effects later.”

“Then why is she in this world!?” Allen frowned.

“Because I summoned her…” Eliade replied with a gentle smile.

“What?” Mia couldn’t help herself from asking. “You summoned her from the previous world?”

“Hm, I have an artifact that can be used once that enables me to summon something from a parallel or an alternate world. As long as that has a huge connection to the initiator of the ritual, she can do it… and I did.” Eliade watched Ciel as she sleeps with a blissful expression on the top of her father.

Although that artifact was in fact, extremely precious for the Witches as it was one of the treasures that were inherited from their ancestors, Eliade didn’t care about it as long as she could be with her daughter and complete their little family.

At this moment, the people somehow felt a motherly feeling coming from her. Mia and Celty even felt envious towards Eliade.

Just how good it is if they also had children?

… …

… …

“And Ava, I didn’t say this earlier but, I heard that you’re planning something ridiculous against me?” Allen opened the curtains, letting bright sunlight flood into the room.

As of this moment, everyone had already dispersed while Allen, Mia, Celty, Rebellion, Eliade, and Ava were inside Allen’s room which was typically Mia’s room.

They have some things they needed to sort out themselves.

Ciel, on the other hand, was already on the bed, sleeping peacefully.

“I did no such thing, you know~” Ava’s tone was playful as she slowly lifted her veil.

As of this moment, Ava’s face was plain to see for the others.

Mia, Celty, and Rebellion who first saw it were startled.

What they saw was Ava’s gruesome and monstrous face. With hair full of slithering snakes, ruby slit eyes and face full of scales. In her mouth were long sharp fangs.

“Hmph, you’re still as beautiful as ever, Ava…” Allen stared at Ava and flashed a faint smile.

In fact, what he was seeing was completely different from the others – probably he was the only one who can see her real face without a filter made from the curse of Athena, the Goddess who didn’t like the original Medusa.

She was a young lady or possibly an upper-class looking woman. She has a rare glossy green long hair with a beautiful face that seemed to have the appearance of someone that had just stepped out of a picture.

Especially her green colored slitted pupils, which were so transparent that they had almost no depth. They looked like as if they were mirrors that reflected all incoming light.

She had a long nose and rosy complexion that when highlighted by the light, she became even more stunning and out of this world.

In fact, descendants of Medusa were gifted with entrancing beauty, however, due to Athena’s curse, they became monstrosity – ugly and terrifying.

However, the Medusa race hated and despised Gods, especially Poseidon who had assaulted the first Medusa and Athena who had become jealous of their beauty and cursed her to become ugly in the eyes of any being.

Allen doesn’t know why or how he was an exception from the curse but probably it was related to him being the Master of all Demons and Spirits that God had given him when he was Solomon.

God bestowed him the power to see the real nature as well as the appearance of every demons and spirit.

It probably came along with him when he reincarnated, albeit only a fraction of it.

That is probably the reason why he always had a good affinity with monsters…

“Not remember huh…” Allen dragged a chair and sit on it.

“Do you really want me to become that merciless? A tyrant? An evil person?”

“I don’t mind,” Ava wore a faint smile. “In fact, I still haven’t given up on it.”

“… …”

“Husband, I don’t want to see you again getting hurt… that was also the reason why I asked Eliade to attack the church with me.” Ava flashed a sorrowful smile.

“I want you to become the ruler of this world – so that nothing can stand against you!”

Ava’s face and tone revealed how determined she was.

“Am I that bored?” Allen refuted, however.

He has never once desired to conquer a world…

What is so fun in that? It only gives you troubles and problems… unceasing problems.

What he wanted was freedom! To spread his wings and fly wherever and whenever he wanted.

If he conquers the world, won’t there be like shackles and restrictions?

“Ava, I’m happy that you felt something like that for me but I’m not interested in that kind of thing,” Allen said with a wry smile.

“Besides, if I did become like what you wanted me to be, how different am I... to Virgil?”

“Power and Authority, a person that doesn’t care about anything regardless." Allen sighed and flashed a wry smile.

"I’m sorry but I can’t give you what you wanted and even I will move to stop you – though I don’t think you can do anything about it, after all, I’m already a demon and not just any other demon… I’m already an evil being,” Allen grins.

Ava just blinked her eyes, but she didn’t reply.

She was silent as she stared at Allen.

Truthfully, she was still not convinced. For her, Allen was too kind that others can easily take advantage of him but she didn’t refute and just kept her silence.

Ava was secretly thinking that if ever she found a reason in the future, she will certainly go with her plan but on her face, nothing could be seen of her thoughts.

Allen, on the other hand, looked at Ava gently.

This girl... Did she really think that he wouldn't know what she was thinking? Haa, Allen sighed inwardly.

Well, he would just show her how he rules. That should be more simple than telling her to stop...

In any case, in this world, no one can stand up against him!

… …

… …

“So are you really going to the higher realm alone?”

Eliade decided to break the awkward atmosphere and changed the topic.

“If you needed help, I can come along,”

“No, I won’t be alone. However, I can’t take all of you, except Rebellion.” Allen shook his head in refusal.

“I don’t know what kind of world is that Land of the Gods and what is currently happening there when Virgil is having a party in that world… it would be extremely dangerous…”

“But that is also the reason I want to go with you…” Eliade said firmly.

“My life is already connected with you… If you die, I die. If you can go, I, of course, can also go,” Eliade said disapprovingly.

Allen’s ruby eyes turned gentle as he runs his hand through his hair.

“I really wish you wouldn’t do that. Even if I did die, I want you to live… at least for Ciel,”

Eliade’s way of showing of affection is just too extreme.

If her lover died, she would follow him without hesitation… just like what happened in the previous life.

“… …” Eliade seems to have not heard as she didn’t respond and turned her attention to Ciel who was sleeping.

Seeing this, Allen couldn’t help but smile.

Unknowingly to him, his originally dull mood had already been lifted by a lot. Now where he could once more see the other’s familiar appearance, he couldn’t help but felt happy. Eliade and Ava for him were indispensable.

“What are you going to do now?”

“For now,” Allen’s eyes narrowed.

“I’m going to stop the fight between the church and the Vampires…”

"And..." Allen made a wry smile. "Claim a land..."
