「Law of Devilish Supremacy - Divine Law

The AI didn't have to crack its brain too hard when generating classes for Lilith and Dante. The two were very good at what they did, being the former teachers of the Horned Demon and Dark Angel Inheritances respectively during their prime.
Lilith's Law was also direct, it allowed her to maximize the various powers of the Devil race in combat. Now, unlike the Demon race, the Devils were not good at frontal combat but they did have the power of the mind and the famous blackfire that burned away the physical body as well as draining lifeforce.
As such, Lilith operated her abilities, releasing thick clouds of Blackfire into the Grey Rot which had a surprisingly good effect. Blackfire was especially effective at burning matter while Hellfire was especially effective at burning souls, but both could fulfill the roles of the other to a lesser degree, like a bit of yin in yang or yang in yin.
The woman herself was clearly distracted. She kept fretting, wondering if her husband was coping, how her sister was doing and how her son was faring on his journey. Then she became happy as she thought about her lovely daughters-in-laws as well as her darling grandchildren who she could not get enough of.
This created a weird scene of a voluptuous woman clutching her cheeks with a happy and loving expression while releasing torrents of sinister fire on a poor, innocent fog that was fighting for its goddamn life.
Fyre tutted as she looked at her sister, feeling that Lilith really was bonkers. After all, while Fyre knew she could be unreasonable it was the Morningstar Lineage kind of unreasonable, nothing new or extra.
However her sister was truly… special. The worst part was the fact that she had also been lumped into the crazy category, though she'd argue that it was solely due to the fact that she frequently hung out with her sister back then and actively supported her in all she did.
「Name: Loving Aunt – True God
Level: The Law of Serpentine Atavism (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.」
「Law of Serpentine Atavism - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This Law allows the user to achieve atavism by transforming into the strongest and most ancient form of their serpentine bloodline, nearest to their ancestor. The base strength of the transformed body is equivalent to the rank of the Law, and the manifestation can only be 7 generations removed from the highest ancestor at the Basic Rank.

Loving Aunt's Law was pretty much the one with the most direct rewards for leveling up. As it were, she could transform to any serpent related to her Blue Water Adder major and Dark Swamp Serpent minor, of which the highest was Leviathan for the Blue Water Adder and Nidhogg for the Dark Swamp Serpent.
Even though she had consumed her Dark Swamp Serpent to evolve her Blue Water Adder into a Blue Sea Serpent, that was only in the real world. Within Boundless, her two serpents still existed separately, allowing her to choose from their ancestry.
The only catch was that she had to choose up to 7 generations below the two God Serpents, of which there were 7 options under Leviathan and 9 under Nidhogg. Of the 7 water element serpents, Loving Aunt was familiar with most but did not choose any because the weakness of water in dealing with the Grey Rot had already been exposed.
Rather, she opted for the Green Poison Cobra, the strongest offensive damage dealer within that generation. The moment she made her choice, her body began to shift from human to serpentine, becoming the size of a large house.
The Green Poison Cobra had sickly green scales and the design of a the danger symbol on its neck, along with slightly spiky scales on its spine. Overall, it was quite menacing in terms of visage, enough to give any looker nightmares.
"SSSSuffferr~" Living Aunt whispered cruelly in a scratchy voice, releasing mists of blackish fumes that corroded the land beneath her body and rushed towards the Grey Rot like a cat spotting a tasty morsel.
The fumes and the Grey Rot met and began their battle of attrition to determine which could destroy the other first. However with Loving Aunt constantly releasing the gas while the Grey Rot was consuming its own source of existence to battle, it was inevitable that it would lose.
Her eyes narrowed in joy as she continually caused pain to the Grey Rot, or at least she thought so, but in this current state, she was not inclined to care. All she wanted was for something to suffer from her poison, a side effect of the transformation.
"Uwaa, Auntie is so amazing~" Endless Life, Gremory, exclaimed as she watched Loving Aunt rampage among the Grey Rot. Seeing how hard her lovely aunt was working, Gremory felt even more that she couldn't afford to slack off.
「Name: Endless Life – True God
Level: The Law of True Evil (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.」
「Law of True Evil - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This is the peak Law of the Evil series, which allows its user to use any of the offensive, defensive and support related abilities of that nature. Along with that, the user is granted slight resistance to abilities from the Laws of the 'good' series.
Sources: The Princess of Evil (Divine Class) + Evil Soul (Passive Skill).」
Gremory excitedly chuckled. "My big brother always says I am the real fount of evil and I like it~"
Her sickly sweet tone, coupled with her attractive features, made her seem like a malevolent Devil princess released into the mortal world to cause chaos.
Oh no, another one like Jada, Loving Aunt and Sublime was born!
Of course, Gremory was a carbon copy of Draco with feminine features, so her words and actions were reminiscent of Draco to the point that… Eva and Shuangtian were sneakily watching her while their hands happened to reach downwards.
It couldn't be helped, they had long lusted after Gremory for how much she resembled Draco, but they were never able to make a move due to Draco's overprotective love for his sister.
How could it be that a beautiful and sexy young woman like Gremory, who was so alluring and succubus-like, had still maintained her purity? Easy, because any male who dared to approach her was vaporized by Destruction Energy from an overprotective and furious Draco!
This was also just fine for Gremory who did not fancy any man… except her marvelous big brother who was like a bastion before her, always protecting her and showering her with love. In these past ten years it was hard to say who Draco had pampered more, his own kids or Gremory...
Just thinking about her brother, Gremory's body trembled and she had to clamp her legs shut. Her face became red as she sneakily looked around and sighed with relief that no one had noticed.
"Whew… big brother, who asked you to be so awesome and magnificent? Now I can't help it when I think of you~" Gremory complained to herself in a sweet whiny voice.
(AN: Welcome to Guild Wars, where no character is sane or normal, but you're all used to it anyway. Most of you probably predicted this happening anyway, having made it this far.)
Gremory had chosen the name "Endless Life" when she joined – not just because she was the first among her family to join – but also because she wanted to live forever and enjoy every second of her new life in bliss after being confined to bed for most of her life.
This was why she had a carefree attitude about most things, and why Draco facilitated a world that allowed her to act in such a manner. If there was one problem Gremory could identify, it was that her beloved sisters Eva and Shuangtian often gave her predatory looks that made her tremble in her boots, like a little rabbit in the eyes of a cunning fox.
Even now, when Draco was not here, the Gremory could sense that the two had their eyes on her somehow and were seemingly waiting to confirm something before making their attack.
"Big brother, you have to come back quickly… or I might not be able to retain my purity for you~" Gremory muttered to herself as she massaged her goosebumps.
Meanwhile, Dominic did not notice his daughter's plight at all, rather his eyes subtly trailing over to his elder brother. The two brothers had regained their previous power and even stepped further, rekindling their youthful bravado and camaraderie, as well as a growing subtle rivalry due to them becoming leaders of their own nuclear family.
As such, seeing Dante go all out, how could Dominic hold back?
「Name: Endless Fortitude – True God
Level: The Law of Divine Demon (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.」
「Law of Divine Demon - Divine Law
Grade: EX
Effect: This Law allows its user to elevate all their Demon skills, techniques and various equipment to the Divine Rank while also enhancing their base abilities by 500% at the Basic Rank. Among the various enhancement Laws, this Law is one of those that consumes the very little energy overall.

Dominic opted for a simple and useful Law that allowed him to take advantage of his abilities and especially his bloodline to fight. Since his nephew stated that no bloodline was allowed though, Dominic used the many Demon race skill he purchased from the Rank 7 Shop.
His Law allowed him to turn these Epic and Legendary skills into their Divine equivalents for free while had this Law active, so he began spamming the skills into the Grey Rot while negating their cooldown with Divine Points, forming a very stable system.
His Divine Energy was slowly drained by the Law. He did not mind that fact too much, especially given how large his pool was and how fast the regeneration was inside the Divine Realm, allowing him to literally absorb external energy to replace it.
Rather than double down on that, he used the player special Divine Points which were very useful but also limited in number and slow to regenerate.
Dominic had a satisfied expression on his face as he saw his output. This was why he chose the name 'Endless Fortitude' in solidarity with his beloved Gremory, because he wanted his family to remain strong forever, hale and hearty and at the peak of their strength so that what happened in the past could never happen again.
To that end, Dominic had never disdained the video game that he was in currently, even when they first entered. Once he understood the benefits it brought, he had immediately moved to bring all the members of the Morningstar Lineage inside for extensive training.
For him, nothing was more important than that. Well, minus suppressing his older brother, so Dominic cast a discrete glance over and saw that Dante was widely grinning at him with a provocative expression.
Dominic let steam out of his nostrils in defiance and exerted even more strength, not willing to be outdone by his older brother!
"These boys…" Isabella muttered with a soft smile as she watched her husband return to his youthful liveliness, the same competitive nature that made her, who was rather remarkable in the clan but not at the same level, idolize him and fight for his hand in marriage back then.
She sighed softly and decided to stop watching them and act more like Lilith and Fyre, fulfilling the tasks their beloved nephew set out for them. After more than ten years in the game, Isabella was far from the noob she had been when starting out.
