Chapter 996 996: Paragon's Children

"Mr. Lucifer, please get back to your seat this instant! And stop flailing your skirt—you know what, go change first and come back!"

"Silence, Instructor — this person who might be related to me and I are staring at each other's eyes, quite intensely at that."

And it is as Lucy said, he was currently looking the new student directly in the eyes, and the new student was returning his gaze seemingly with even more weight. Lucy's eyes were inquisitive, while the new student's eyes were just curious and perhaps a little excited.

"Speak, Apparition — why dost thou look like me?" Lucy then started walking around the new student; even spinning in place and letting his skirt and long white hair to flutter and wave with the wind, causing the female students to almost yelp.

"Really? Do we look alike?" The new student just smiled as he turned his head to watch Lucy spin around him, "I'd argue you look more like a girl, even without the uniform."

"It's called being androgynous, look it up," Lucy crossed his arms before standing in front of the new student and looking at him from head to toe.

The new student had pale skin and even whiter hair. He was much taller than Lucy, and no one could argue he was more manly too with his broad shoulders and chiseled jaw; his hair was also a little spiky while still being smoothly pulled back, with just several strands splitting his forehead. His white eyebrows were quite thicker too.

Suffice it to say, the female students of Cla.s.s V were having a field day, with two abnormally beautiful specimens of men standing right in front of them. As for the instructor, well, he had already given up and just sat at his desk, waiting for this fiasco to just be over.

"Speak your name, inferior copy of mine," Lucy covered half his face.

"I'm… Arthas," the new student, Arthas, did not really know whether to laugh or back away as Lucy seemed to be looking into the deepest parts of his body.

"Arthas, Ah — of course," Lucy let out a very small but very deep sigh while shaking his head, "I am—"

"Lucifer," Arthas answered for Lucy as he reached out his arm, "Named after the biblical devil of one of the old civilizations."

"Wait, really?" Lucy blinked a couple of times as he once again looked Arthas in the eyes. But after a few seconds, he just once again let out a sigh, "Of course, Katrina — truly, my eccentricity borrows deep from her."

"Oh, so Katrina Collins is your mother?" Arthas smiled.

"It would seem you know about me, as expected."

"Of course," Arthas smiled, still keeping his hand stretched, "You're my brother, after all."

"Ah," Lucy shook Arthas's hand while covering his face with his free hand, "To reveal it so nonchalantly and casually, as expected of our Father's bloodline — I take it you are Aerith's son?"

"Yes," Arthas just shrugged.

"Cool, cool," Lucy then tightened his grip on Arthas's hand, "Does that mean you're stronger than me?"

"If I was a girl, probably — but I'm a man," Arthas only glanced at his hand as Lucy started gripping it tight.

"Hm…" Lucy then once again looked Arthas in the eyes as a small smile started to crawl on his face, "Then…

…would you like to see Renna?"

"Sure," Arthas smiled back.

"Very well," Lucy then let out a small chuckle as he pulled Arthas closer to him and then placed his arm over his shoulder; Lucy's feet, not touching the floor at all as he started walking away with Arthas, "Come, my brother from another mother — let us leave these foolish mortals for they will be naught in just a few years."

"You talk funny," Arthas also chuckled, "I've always wondered what my younger siblings would be like, I've only ever met Karina."

"Karina…?" Lucy breathed out, "That's like our oldest, no? She…"

"Mr. Lucifer! Mr. Luci—Agh, why do I even try…" And with that, the instructor could not really do anything but just watch as Lucy just left the cla.s.s before it could even start, even bringing along the new student with him,

"...But, another one of Paragon's children? Just…

…how many children does he actually have? Wait… am I Paragon's child?"

***

"Nannah! Nannah!"

"What? What? H, please calm down."

"Where the f.u.c.k did Riley's sp.a.w.n go!? We weren't done training!"

Somewhere in the almost infinite expanse of the Universe, Hannah was running inside a silver s.h.i.+p; her face…

…completely unchanged by time. And it wasn't only her, even Nannah retained her youthful vigor, the only thing different between them was their hairstyles. Hannah was wearing hers completely down and letting it just slide on her back, while Nannah's hair was tied in the end as it went around to the front to fall on her chest.

And perhaps their hairstyles were a reflection of their temperament — Nannah now held a more mature flow in her movements, while Hannah still retained her explosive temperament. How could she not, when another Riley just entered their lives as soon as Arthas was born?

Arthas was normal for the most part, not as normal as Karina, but normal. But here was, however, just something about him that was… eerily similar to Riley. Something… off.

"Arthas?" Nannah, who was fixing something on the s.h.i.+p, left whatever it was she was fixing as she approached the fuming Hannah, "She's with Karina the last I checked."

"And where's Karina? No, you know what… where the f.u.c.k is Aerith?"

"...Which one?"

"You know which one!" Hannah stomped her foot on the s.h.i.+p, "The one whose responsibility it is to take care of her child! My G.o.d, that woman shouldn't really be having children!"

"She's with Mom, remember?" Nannah sighed, "With their quest or something."

"f.u.c.k, was that today?"

"...It was last week, they've been gone for a week, H," Nannah squinted her eyes as she looked at Hannah from head to toe, even pointing the wrench she was holding at her, "Are you alright? Maybe you need to take some time to rest, maybe visit some other uninhabited planet? I can take care of the s.h.i.+p on my own, you know."

"What, no…" Hannah scoffed while shaking her head, "...And what about the other… Aerith?"

"You mean your niece."

"Just… where is she?"

"She went with Mom and Aerith."

"Why didn't you just say that earlier?" Hannah rolled her eyes out, "What about Katherine? Any other f.u.c.king adult in this s.h.i.+p besides us?"

"Hey, that's not fair — Karina's an adult now, she's lived her 600 years like the rest of us."

"And where is she?"

"Like I told you, she's with her brother."

"And where—Can you just tell me where they are, please?"

"Oh, uh…" Nannah squinted her eyes as she placed her hand on her chin, "...I think they were headed to your quarters?"

"What!?"

And there, Nannah just watched as Hannah flew away; almost causing the alarms and anti-fire to go off as she disappeared into the wide corridors of the s.h.i.+p.

"Welp, good luck to them," Nannah just shrugged before fixing her hair and returning to whatever it was she was fixing.

"Nannah!"

Before she could actually get to fixing whatever it was she was fixing again, however, Hannah's loud shriek echoed throughout the entire s.h.i.+p.

"Get here, now!"

"...Right," Nannah just let out a small but very deep sigh as she dropped her wrench and everything she was doing to rush toward Hannah's room, "H, this better be worth it because I was supposed to be fixing—Oh c.r.a.p, we're f.u.c.ked."

As soon as she entered Hannah's room, however, her eyes quickly widened as she saw a video of Riley in the New World being played and projected onto Hannah's wall.

"Did… do you think Karina and Arthas saw that?" Nannah nervously chuckled as she pointed at the video.

"What do you think!?" Hannah screamed as she grabbed a large bag and started packing her things.

"Why do you even f.u.c.king have videos of Riley laying around!?" Nannah's calm facade instantly broke away as she pointed at the projector, "And you're playing it on a big screen — and I'm the one with a problem!?"

"That—I'm just checking if he's doing some evil s.h.i.+t there!" Hannah quickly rushed to turn off the projector, "And that doesn't matter."

"What do you mean it doesn't matter!? Of course, it f.u.c.king does!" Nannah bellowed, "And what are you even doing!? Are you actually thinking of going to the New World!?"

"Where else!?" Hannah also screamed, "f.u.c.k! Katherine's probably also there, f.u.c.k! Everything's a mess."

"You know we can't go there, H!"

"And neither can they! If they find out that they're there and they broke the pact… they might kill them."

"...That's not going to happen, Riley's there."

"Exactly," Hannah stopped packing her things as she stood in front of Nannah and grabbed her cheeks while looking her straight in the eyes,

"Riley's there. What do you think will happen…

…if someone tries to harm his children?"
