Chapter 1448 All Grown Up
"Two Perfect Domains...?"
Edgar Alstreim dumbfoundedly uttered.
"Yes, grandfather."
Davis smirked as he proudly explained his little sister's prowess.
"Clara trains in both Ice Laws and Mandate Laws which both are Greater Laws similar to Natalya's Ice and Yin Laws. In any case, judging by Clara's words, she is probably at Level Six Intent in both laws, even though it is actually considered Elementary Intent since they are Greater Laws."
"That's right." Clara nodded, "I experienced six resonances so far after comprehending the first bout of comprehension, and that would make it Level Six Intent, as brother said, but as my Ice Laws are practically about to breakthrough since I've concentrated on it for the past few years while my constitution passively aided me in comprehending Mandate Laws."
"Hehe." Davis couldn't help but chuckle, "Moreover, it isn't just any Ice Laws but Ice that belongs to the Ice Phoenix Immortal, which probably ranks among the top hierarchy of Ice-Attributed Magical Beasts. She is almost the inheritor of the Ice Phoenix Immortal since she cleared the Emperor Grade Trial. Combined with her Mandate Laws provided by her unique constitution, which makes it purer than the ones Heaven Mandate Temples could comprehend, both her Greater Laws are almost at the apex."
"..."
Half of the crowd was practically shaking as they heard both of their explanation.
Ice Phoenix Immortal?
Unique Constitution?
Two Greater Laws whose quality is at the apex?
Clara's achievement at her age was absurd, but her big brother was also equally absurd.
Monsters... these two were practically monsters that they couldn't almost believe that they came out of Claire's womb and Logan's lifeforce. Even the parents hadn't reached their level yet!!!
"Big sister is so awesome!!!"
Tia Alstreim's eyes practically shone like an amethyst jewel as she looked at the brother and sister. They were extremely capable and imposing in her eyes.
Clara couldn't help but smile as she perceived their awed looks.
Before, she truly didn't know that the abstract laws she comprehended were known as Mandate Laws.
She didn't share her powers with the Ice Phoenix Immortal as she felt like it should be her trump card. The whole thing with the so-called candidacy made her feel suspicious about the inheritance, but power was still power. She felt that she had to gain it no matter what. Moreover, it wasn't like she felt that she could hide her constitution from the Ice Phoenix Immortal. It was just that the Ice Phoenix Immortal didn't seem bothered, making her indifferent to mention her Transcendent Truth Eyes as well.
Therefore, hearing Davis's explanation felt like she had constructed the foundation for her comprehension of Mandate Laws, which quickly allowed her to arrange her comprehensions, which then caused her to have a breakthrough in law intent.
"I apologize, sister-in-law Natalya. My name is Clara Loret, and I won't do it again..."
Clara clasped both her hands and bowed.
"It's fine..."
Natalya raised her hand as she smiled lightly, looking as if she was the bigger woman. She was slightly awed that her little sister could make her forcefully speak. She didn't expect her to be this strong and even thought that she might perhaps lose in a battle if it weren't for her Body Tempering Cultivation.
Clara felt relaxed that she wasn't reproached. Her eyes fell on the person beside Natalya.
"You are?"
"Me?" Fiora pointed at herself, pursing her lips.
"Yes, you. You look like sister-in-law Natalya's sister. What's your name?"
"Uhm..." Fiora's heart sped up, "My name is Fiora."
"I see, and you are?"
Clara's head turned as she finally asked Nora Alstreim, who held two babies held in each arm. The former was vaguely getting the feeling that she was someone important.
Davis inwardly calmed down as he saw that his little sister didn't harass Fiora as she moved on to the next one, while Fiora also heaved an immense sigh of relief as she honestly felt scared by this young Empress. Clara didn't seem like she wasn't leaving anyone unnoticed. However, Davis inwardly smirked as it seems like his parents were going to be criticized by Clara.
"Clara, I'm your mother as well..."
Nora deeply smiled while Clara's expression faded as she blinked. She turned to look at her father and mother before she saw the children in Nora's arms.
"They're your children with father?"
Logan scratched his head as he smiled while Claire spoke.
"Not exactly, but yes. She is your eighth mother, Clara. Her name is Nora Alstreim. As I once said that she was our enemy, but it turned out she wasn't. Nevertheless, your father has made Nora his woman, making her give birth to Laura. The other child in Nora's arms is mine. His name is Evan Loret, your fifth sibling and third brother."
Clara's eyes shook as her gaze fell on the little baby boy.
"Eighth mother? I would at least like to be the second, but I guess that it is okay considering that I came late..."
Nora pouted as she teasingly smiled, appearing as if not really cared about numbers. She walked towards Clara and gave the baby gently to Clara.
Clara took Evan into her arms as she saw his tiny features. He looked more like his father with his black hair, and the shape of his eyes was also like his father except for the purple color of his pupils, which belonged to his mother. She couldn't help but smile as she pulled on his cheek, and it made her feel that he was extremely adorable.
"Evan, welcome to the Loret Empire..."
Her expression faded as she coldly looked at her father.
"Did father break mother's heart again?"
"No, it was I who put him up to this..." Claire intervened.
Clara became confused because she perceived it to be the truth. Mother was so against father having any other women, but this woman called Nora gets a free pass because of reasons she couldn't understand at the moment?
She didn't feel bothered as long as her mother was okay with it. She turned to look at Nora and forced a light smile.
"Welcome to the Loret Family then, Eighth Mother."
She reached out her hand and poked tiny Laura's cheek, the forced smile becoming one of joyous.
"Perhaps, we'll let these two babies grow together."
"How coincidental..." Nora turned glad at Clara's comment, "I was thinking the same. They're peers as they only have a month difference. I think that they'll be very good friends and rivals, motivating each other to improve like I and Claire."
"I think so too..."
Claire giggled while the awkward atmosphere turned heartwarming because of the two babies. Everyone began to talk about their future, saying how they might become like Davis and Clara, two monsters in their own right, and laughed it off when suddenly two others entered the scene.
"Brother!!!"
A melodious yet moved voice echoed as a woman screamed.
"Father, mother!!! You're back!!!"
Another male voice echoed, sounding with a firm and affluent tone.
Davis's eyes lit up as he saw his third and fourth siblings. Diana flew without a stop as if she were going to crash into Davis. However, Davis accurately captured her waist and swung her around, making her crazily laugh as tears fell from her eyes. She wore white robes that accentuated her cheerfulness.
Meanwhile, Edward flew into his mother's embrace while Logan also patted his shoulders, looking moved. He wore black robes that had a tint of purple to them in the shoulder and collar section, making him look quite mysterious.
They were all good, and their undulations were quite good for their ages.
"Brother, take this!~"
Davis had just let down the emotionally moved Diana when suddenly Edward's voice echoed.
Lightning crackled as an incoming fist became covered with arcs of blue-colored lightning, releasing a huge might. It made the hall darken as the blue light of lightning flashed, but the people present instantly used their energies to protect the two babies from the undulations, stacking multiple barriers in a split second.
Edward's clenched fist traveled straight towards Davis's face amidst everyone's gaze when the latter just let out a smile and raised one of his hands.
*Boom!~*
A resounding boom echoed as it created a breeze, lifting up everyone's hair while the undulations receded as Davis utterly suppressed every ounce of strength released by Edward.
As everyone expected, Davis captured Edward's right fist easily and smiled.
"Not bad, you have reached Low-Level Law Seed Stage and Low-Level Gold Stage."
He abruptly pulled both Edward and Diana into an embrace as he uttered.
"On the other hand, Diana also reached Low-Level Law Seed Stage and Peak-Level Silver Stage. Good! Very good!"
Davis repeated twice as he felt moved. They were not slacking at all.
Looking at them, they have grown to be quite big as well.
Edward was now seventeen years old, while Diana was eighteen years old. They were respectively eight and seven years younger than Davis.
Davis had grown six feet tall himself, but Edward was just a few inches lower than him, looking like a fine man while there was no need to say anything about Diana. She was an empire-toppling beauty, almost as beautiful as Clara. Her cheerful expression attracted so many eyes that she could probably be a source of happiness no matter where she goes.
"Brother, it's thanks to the resources you sent us..."
Edward's eyes were moist from the reunion.
"Yes, brother. We became powerful thanks to you. Edward and I even raised our Law Intents. My Wind Laws and Illusion Laws and his Lightning Laws are both at Level Two Intent with elder sis's help."
"Yes, I can see you two have cultivated hard and comprehended a lot..."
Davis gently uttered.
He could tell that Clara probably brought them to some danger zones, which isn't a danger zone for her. Therefore, these two siblings comprehended Level One Intent the moment they entered the Law Seed Stage and then comprehended Level Two Intent. Their foundations were also good as far as he could sense.
"Clara, you took good care of your two siblings for us. Thank-"
"Of course I did, brother. I would've helped them even without you all asking me to do so." Clara lightly smiled.
She was rather inwardly excited to be praised again by her brother, but she didn't show it out.
"Edward, how brazen!" Claire walked towards Edward, clenching her fists, "Don't you have any care for your baby siblings?"
"Claire, he already sent a soul transmission to us, so don't sweat it."
Nora reminded while Clara nodded, causing Claire to stop as she sighed. She already knew that two soul transmission flew their way, but still, these two gave her headaches.
What if something went wrong? She wanted this reunion to be a happy occasion and didn't want anyone to get injured.
"Clara and Edward.." She scolded, "You're both making trouble when we just reunited. Look at your sister Diana. She's so well-behaved."
"Mother! Diana is well-behaved!?"
Edward looked so aggrieved that he almost pointed at Diana while the latter avoided their gaze. However, Edward didn't snitch and snorted. Instead, he shook his head, walked off towards his baby siblings and saw their features, and learned about his new eighth mother, looking moderately flabbergasted.
Diana appeared the same.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh again at Edward and Diana's reaction.
Edward looked more like his mother, while they were all sure that Evan would look more like his father. On the other hand, Davis looked more like his father, so they were sure Evan would grow up to be a lady killer as well.
As for baby Laura, she looked more like her mother Nora, and they all discussed how she would also become an empire-toppling beauty in a few years.
Everything was going smooth, their reunion looking good as they cheered, cried, comforted, and laughed.
The people in the Throne Hall got to know each other and bonded as it temporarily became a Reunion Hall!
