Chapter 34: Development [1]
In the core territory of the Demon Race..
"Someone killed my son."
"M-my King. I'll make sure to find his killer!"
"You should be."
Geznav Pellatia von Lucius, the current Demon King, the head of all Demons, replied while sitting on his throne.
"Who's the one in charge for that planet?"
"A Demon Count named Luis."
"Execute him immediately."
"U-understood!"
The demon butler went out of the room immediately.
Meanwhile, Geznav is thinking about the events that occured in that planet.
'No karmic line, no traces. It's a Deity-Realm Artifact. Who is it?'
There's a function of a Deity-Realm Artifacts that they won't leave any traces now Karmic lines, thus it won't be traced.
'My son who had inherited the Ancestor's Physique died. It's a huge loss. I'll make sure to let his murderer pay!'

"Mn."
I stretched after returning. Thanks to Master, I gained yet another Exp bag, increasing my total Exp.
I also realized a problem too. Both my parents are at SS Rank, will they find my S- Rank power?
Thankfully, they've not fully recovered from the deterioration, thus they're only at A- Rank at best. It'll give me more time to upgrade Xiao Song.
Anyways, I looked at the mirror. I still hasn't disguised myself, but my appearance underwent a huge change.
Before, I only have an above average appearance at most, but it's different now.
I can call myself Handsome right now. I also have an air of elegance and Nobility right now. I also tested myself during battle, and I had the aura of craziness back then, the polar opposite of the me right now.
Even though it didn't affect my thinking, my vibe and appearance would cause others to call me a Battle Junkie.
My blue pupils became different too. There's a hint of charm if one looms at it for quite a long time.
For now, its better to hide this.
"Xiao Song."
{Understood. Activating the Godly Disguise module..}
[Godly Disguise (A+)]
-Alloqs the user to change his appearance along with his vibe.
-Cant be seen through by A+ Ranks and below.
Instantly, my appearance went back to before.
I also asked Xiao Song about why did the Heavenly Sovereign made a module like this and she said that its to avoid his potential enemies..
Since he knows that he'll provoke many people, he's smart enough to have many disguises. He still used this thing even when he's a Deity-Realm Combatant already.
"You finally woke up."
As the door got opened, I saw my sister.
"Are you fine?"
"Mn."
Not used to her serious self, I only nodded.
"Sigh.. You're now able to see the truth, right?"
Truth? Oh. Only superhumans can detect other superhumans from before. Now that the Planet's Energy cycle recovered plus the fact that I'm also one now, they're not able to hide the fact that they're Superhumans as well.
My family can't tell me that they've just awakened, because their auras are that strong.
It's quite ironic. I'm now the one hiding something from them..
"Go downstairs first. We'll talk about what happened to you after we eat."
"Okay."
She left my room. Sigh.. The changes came in very abruptly. Thank goodness that I have the [Panel].
I got up fron the bed, washed my face, and went downstairs.
***
"Ahem."
Right now, us family are eating breakfast. Though it might be because of their guilt that it resulted in an awkward silence.
"Sorry for hiding everything."
My father went straight to the point. He's usually a happy guy, but he has a serious face right now.
"No, dad. It's alright."
"Lugh.."
This time, my mother expressed her worry.
"No, really. You felt it too, don't you?"
"Sigh.. Yes."
My father spoke up. What I'm pointing out is the fact that I have a low potential prior to the [Panel]'s arrival.
You can sense it already even if you don't use those testing tools. Just the fact that normal cultivation is slow for me says it already.
"Since we didn't want you to be in danger, we thought that it's best if we hide it from both of you. Your sister's awakening is an accident, that's why we've only hidden it to you."
My sister, Rin, has an enormous potential. I saw it personally with the [Panel].
"Even if you have a nice Comprehension, it's still dangerous.."
This time, my mother spoke, as if supporting my Dad.
"No, I said it already, that its fine."
I smiled at the 3 of them. Seeing that, the quite tense atmosphere finally disappeared.
"Brian, we should also tell that too."
"Ah, yes! Rin, Lugh, it's time to let you know of our biggest secret."
This time, even my sister got surprised. She doesn't know that too, huh?
"Actually, I'm a former Duke of the Austere Dukedom-"
"-And I'm a Former princess of the Flammingbird Empire."
"Eh?"
"Ah?"
Even though I knew it already, I still acted like that.
"Eh-huh-both mom and dad has such backgrounds?"
My sister said so. Yep, a former duke and a former princess. What a match.
"Yes. We've been a Duke and a Princess 500 years ago."
"Wha-"
This time, it's my turn to be surprised. 500 years old. Woah, I didn't expect this..
But come to think of it. Cultivating into this deteriorated planet is very hard, and both reaching SS Rank tells that they're very talented. Plus, you wouldn't be able to Cultivate on the normal areas, so they must've had a chance encounter.
With all this, it's not a surprise that they're both 500 years old already.
After they peaked at SS Rank, their Ranks deteriorated, causing them to be at B Rank..
"Mom, you're 500 years old already?!"
My sister still couldn't believe it, thus she let out her words of surprise.
"Un. Since we're both SS Ranks, having an offspring became difficult. We just lucked out when the 2 of you are born."
My mom said so with a smile.
"Ah-I see.."
The whole situation took over 15 minutes before it calmed down.
"Rin, you're still working back there, right?"
"Yes, dad."
"Mom, what's that all about?"
"Oh, you didn't know of this. Your sister actually entered the Superhuman society with our connections before. She's currently working at the Austere Dukedom's Information Agency."
"Ah!"
Austere Dukedom's Information Agency. It sounds very similar to a Spy Agency!
"I'll ask John to give you a leave first."
"Dad?"
"This time is the most dangerous time. We definitely do not want to risk your life."
This time the most dangerous time. It's evident when many creatures popped out from those cracks, the Space Transmissions, the hidden Superhumans who are recovering, and so on.
"Okay. I'll take a break for now."
"Anyways, Lugh?"
"Yes, mom?"
"Mind telling us what happened to you the past month?"
I told everything while hiding Red's info. I don't want to cause more trouble for him after all. What I had told them is that those E+ Ranks protected us until we got back.
"By the way, you're friend? Her name's Aria."
My dad suddenly told me that. Since I told him that her disguise was undone and that I saw her true appearance, he told me this.
"Also, she might be visiting us today."
Ding!
The doorbell suddenly rang. My mom went into the door and opened it after confirming who is it thanks to the intercom.
After I saw who's our visitor, I got startled.
It's Aria...
