Lilith and Isabella both had the Dark Angel inheritance when they started out, but both focused on different things. Lilith was more focused on the seduction and succubus aspect while also utilizing the blackfire to destroy her enemies in body while Isabella was more focused on the psychic abilities of the Dark Angel, able to perform some of the best feats.
This also factored into their different playstyles and law choices once they got to this stage. Isabella preferred to use raw mental abilities, but she had been somewhat inspired by Zaine's lightning element psychic abilities, which was rare even among the Morningstar Lineage.
That was a Royal Devil for you. Even the authentic Devil bloodline in reality could not match Zaine's brilliance.
Isabella saw that raw force was not strong enough, so she withheld herself from releasing psychokinetic blasts directly into the grey rot. Rather, she opted to focus herself and take out a huge amount of hiltless blades.
Each of these weapons bore a different color for their body, some being red whole glowing with flames while others were brown and had crags of rock on them. These were here 23 elemental blades, one for each element in existence which had been crafted for her by her darling nephew Draco.
With these weapons, she had become like a sabertooth tiger with wings. The weapons fanned out and floated around her, a blue outline surrounding her body while also surrounding that of the blades in question.
With a flick of her finger, the blades shot into the grey rot and began releasing elemental blasts that were stored up and charged by Isabella using her own mana - at the mortal level - and now Divine Energy at the True God Rank.
Endless Joy.
This was the name Isabella a chose because she harbored great regret over her actions during that fateful moment, so her prayer was that her family, friends and all her loved ones could spend their entire lives filled with joy and happiness, never feeling the despair and hatred she did in the past that led her to that outcome.
"That's good…" Akihito, part of this group, noticed that the Morningstar Group were diving into their work with enthusiasm and felt relieved. Over the years, he had been coaching everyone on his side about gaming since he was a legacy gamer.
As a Japanese youth during the era of the world wars and later the emergence of gaming and anime, Akihito was definitely an Ancient Elder of the Otaku Sect. He had played all the original MMORPGS and have even cursed a few youngsters during the xbox online wars when playing first person shooters online.
He even… sigh, he even emoted on a few foes during the cosmetic filled battle royale era, though that was not his proudest moment.
However, unlike typical Otakus, Akihito had a loving wife whose beauty was enough that even the young Eva used to feel shy of her mother. Of course Eva soon surpassed Kiyoko, but she still held reverence for her mother, and so too did many.
Akihito was making sure everyone adapted to the True God powers but then chuckled as he realized that everyone had already come relatively adept after 10 years of this, so he didn't need to be too worried.

Akihito was game savvy and knew that this was the law for him the moment it popped up in his list of options. After taking it, he was now aiming to take it on a test by using the grey rot as an (un)willing subject.
The fellow raised a finger to push up his glasses, which were mostly decorative at this point since Eva had increased his bloodline purity and fixed the Radiant Lineage bloodline, causing his vision issues due to his overuse of the light element through his eyes to disappear.
Cough, he was young back then okay?! Seeing images of Superman from the then Action Comics and Cyclops from the X-men, he too wanted to shoot lasers form his eyes, and being part of the Goddess of Light Inheritance, he had the ability to do just that.
However, no matter how special he was, shooting literal light from his eyes was bound to have some effect, which limited his vision slightly, necessitating glasses. Of course, there was also the fact that he often sat behind screens to play games, but he didn't count that.
Still, now that he was a grown man and had children, he had long stopped using such crude methods to combat his enemies… well, until his daughter reinvigorated him fully. For the past ten years, Akihito had been more than Superman and cyclops put together, only stopping short of light beams the size of kamehamehas from his eyes wantonly.
Now… was no different.
"Huhuhu, Aki is still as playful as ever," A soft feminine voice spoke in a light tone, revealing the resplendent figure of Kiyoko.
She was the picture of svelte elegance, being what one would picture a mature 'jade-like beauty' to resemble. In japan, Kiyoko was the picture perfect ideal woman, from her pristine creamy skin to her soft features, her gentle demeanor and especially her outlook.
Just like Draco, Akihito often just stared at his wife or lay in her embrace to reduce his stress, something which both Eva and Kiyoko enjoyed greatly.
Likewise, seeing her husband having so much fun, Kiyoko was throughly pleased. She had grown up with Akihito and fallen deeply in love when they were still teenagers, often accompanying him to gaming centers and esports competitions.
Her happiest moments were when he inevitably won and then rushed over to her, bypassing his teammates or coaches, hugging her with joy while everyone looked on in envy. The champion and with such a beautiful young girlfriend, what a winner in life!
Now, as a mother, she had guided Eva to become the woman she was, and that was enough for Kiyoko. However, Eva repeatedly emphasized the importance of this game and her son-in-law was also enthusiastic, so Kiyoko didn't mind tagging along.
Kiyoko understood that Boundless had immense value but she didn't much care about that. She had very little ambition in life, mostly wanting to be the one everyone can return to after a hard days work and comfort them, showering them with love.

That was why, in the end, despite knowing the requirements, she still choose this. It fit with her personal preference and outlook in life, but it also caused a problem because she now had limited options in dealing with the grey rot.
Just as Kiyoko was pondering how to deal with this, she felt an arm wrap around her waist and pull her close. She turned her head to see that it was Akihito, who had approached her while she was deep in thought.
"My beloved Kiyoko, you are so beautiful when you are immersed in your thoughts." Akihito commented with a grin.
"Oh? You can all the way here to tell me this?" Kiyoko asked teasingly, leaning into her husband's embrace.
"I cant help it, its hard to focus on work when there a literal goddess beside me." Akihito flattered shamelessly, making Kiyoko giggle.
Akihito glanced into the grey rot and had a brainwave. "Dear, why don't we work together? Lets party up and match our two laws, and the results should be quite exemplary."
Kiyoko was moved. She understood immediately that her husband had noticed her plight and came over using flirtatiousness as a pretext to offer his help. He even suggested it in a manner that did not infringe on her pride, which left Kiyoko amused.
After all, she was no longer a touchy young woman prone to emotional outbursts nor with a huge ego. She was happy to accept help from her darling husband.
"I would be glad to have my strong and handsome husband with me." She teased Akihito, who chuckled as he knew he had been seen through.
Akihito opened a party with his wife, who then used a common buffing skill from her supportive 'The Creator' Divine Class imbued with the law onto Akihito. The fellow himself felt his body coursing with unreal power, as if his strength had been boosted more than ten times at once!
When he glanced at the grey rot, a surge of light concentrated in his pupils that was released as a huge beam of energy that swept through the area before him. Akihito was shocked when he felt that the light which should have usually been the size of a normal energy wave was now boosted to be as large as a huge articulated truck!
Jesus, was this the father-son kamehameha? Or husband-wife heavenly beam of light?
Even Kiyoko, who was usually elegant and reserved, had her mouth open in an 'O' shape, surprised by her husband's potency.
Akihito quickly recovered and laughed. "They say the key to a man's success is the woman supporting him!"
Kiyoko also smiled gently. "Leave it to me, dear!"
Looking at the husband and wife who glanced at each other with love and trust, one's heart was filled with joy for the future. Not to mention over there was Dante who had snuck over to Lilith's side and began sneakingly feeling up his wife's voluminous backside, much to her delight.
Along with Dominic who was chatting with Isabella about Gremory's future with smiles while they casually fulfilled their tasks.
Looking at this sight from afar, Ao Fengtian, the grandfather of Shuangtian, felt deeply moved. However, his lips couldn't help but twitch when he glanced over to his side and say the last couple among the lot.
"Honey~ Do you need anything~" Ao Litian, the former head of the Pangu Lineage and Shuangtian's father, currently had his back bent and his face pulled into a sycophantic smile as he rubbed his hands.
"Hmph, Litian we should be helping our darling Shuang'er. This grey rot thing is merely child's play for our son-in-law to handle." Ao Bingtian, the mother of Shuangtian, stated with a disapproving look.
Litian hesitated. "Lets trust in that brat's judgment. He might be a lecherous fellow who stole my beloved daughter from me, but he does have some merits I guess."
Bingtian glanced at Litian with amusement, Her husband was usually very placid in her presence, but he became very unhappy when Draco was mentioned due to his fatherly jealously.
After all, Shuangtian still did not like him all that much compared to Bingtian herself who Shuangtian spent 90% of her time with.
