Talking And Nursing
[Shadow of the Responsive Dragon]: Type: Dragon(Clone), Grade: Mythical(with physical strength equal to a God's Devourer), LV: 135, HP: 20,880,000,000. With an ancient technique made by the First Monarch of the Responsive Dragon Race, the current Overlord of the Bright Sunset Region has descended onto Main Kingdom in an extremely weakened state to the aid of protecting it from an unknown and sudden danger. Though this Clone only has the physical strength of a God's Devourer, it had a defense so strong that only a true God's Devourer being would be capable of injuring it.
Finally having a chance to scan one of the extremely powerful entities, Yun Beishang was not mildly stunned to see a whopping difference of almost ten times their HP than a regular Mythical grade BOSS of the same level. At the same time, it seemed as if the MAX LV of Main Kingdom was either LV135 or just a bit more than that. After all, this was just a clone from the overlord of a Region.
In the same manner, the defense of such a God Devourer grade BOSS is bound to be insane, unthinkable to even Yun Beishang should he not have his very own Pure's Essence to ignore any kind of defense, barrier and similar situation and so on. Fortunately, he had all the proper Essences to deal with any enemy that is of a higher level and of an incredible higher grade, one that no other player can really deal with.
"Mmm, oh well. Thank you Katia, for uh... introducing us to each other, cough. Hello, uhm... Responsive Dragon? I'm Yun Beishang, but I use my alias 'Tongqiu' in this world, but you can just call me Evil God if you'd like." Yun Beishang said with his eyes going almost fully closed and a small but at least half-sincere smile on his face while he extended out his right palm in a greeting gesture.
The Responsive Dragon's clone nodded 'solemnly' as it then prostrated towards Yun Beishang slightly with its enormous head before saying in a voice that was still loud but not uncomfortable to hear nor harmful, "Indeed, Evil God. I am but the current Overlord of my Bright Sunset Region and, under the guidance from my Race's previous benefactor, we have been waiting for the time the Evil God would return to our aid."
Yun Yun and Zyv were now sitting cross-legged on the pale golden oval shaped disk that was still moving forth aimlessly and extremely slowly as well, while it now had a huge shadow of a dragon's head in front of it with Yun Beishang at the very front and the girls 2 meters right behind him.
As they watched the two go at it, they looked at each other and they saw the same glint in each other's eyes. These two shameless people... are each other's match! With Yun Beishang having started to have a chat with seemingly the overlord of their Region—which they newly transferred to with the help of the Crestfallen Industry, ah—, both of them have been shamelessly supporting one another ever since.
Only a few minutes have gone by but, as the friendly-fake Yun Beishang spoke 'so much' to the Responsive Dragon and as the latter was actually sincere and all smiles to the Evil God Yun Beishang while sometimes mentioning the Evil God Katia; they engaged in a conversation where the Responsive Dragon was the main talker and Yun Beishang only nodded so slightly every now and then.
And now, as the two girls looked at each other with some hints of smiles in their eyes, Yun Beishang dropped his 'nice' face and then even turned slightly serious as he said in a stern tone. "You don't have to appear to be clueless... I know. I don't really know, but I do now, it's okay. Isn't that right, little wife?"
'Little wife?!' As the Responsive Dragon felt incredulous, shocked at his own brain from the sudden but casually spoken last two words from Yun Beishang's mouth, a little wifey said. "Mn! He knows, indeed. My hubby is the best knowing hubby right now. Even those so-called Sons of here and that from random places are just like a chicken in front of my big wolf of a husband."
At the serious nod from the wife Evil God talking about and praising the Evil God husband, the dragon head shadow lifted its eyebrows, or would if it had any, as it then even thought to himself. 'Only the Evil God would be capable of calling those almost Godly geniuses as common as bumpkins and peasants...'.
"I see, then forgive me for acting dumb just now, Evil Gods. Oh! That's right, Evil God... Wife... I can sense that you are no longer a physical form living being, but that your being is still there but without any Essence. How could this be?! You were alive after all? Even from such... sigh, forgive me, I cannot deny the blood of my Race flowing chaotically whenever I hear of the soul-breaking news that my Race received from you, Evil God Wife; back then."
"Mmm... I know..." Despondent to an almost negligible degree, Katia responded as she lowered her eyes and head slightly in her own Space, which only Yun Beishang could actually see. But even then, it made the shadow of the Responsive Dragon to become shaky and even emit some snorts out of hyperventilation.
'...That badly it was? What just happened, 'back' then?' Yun Beishang thought to himself without imprinting his thoughts with any Mental Power, but Katia, as if seemingly reading his thoughts so perfectly well as a wife should; suddenly said with a half-smile as she 'looked' at him from within her own Space.
"My husband, do you know what is the life expectancy of a Responsive Dragon? About tens of millions of years for a sick and 'fated' to die early dragonling and a few billions of years for any other 'ordinary' Responsive Dragon. Even then, there really isn't a single Responsive Dragon that is weak, all of them are lasting and mightiest beings that my Master deeply longed to have as subordinates."
"Which he did, he tamed an entire Race due to their long-living and powerful characteristics as well as having a kind of 'Godly' guidance for the Myriad Beasts, especially the Azure Dragon. For the sake of protecting and carrying out his wishes, commands and orders for eternity, and so that they could reign over Main Kingdom over the precedence of any unexpected event... which ended up happening, unfortunately."
"Now, however... as my Master... well. Since so much time has passed, I didn't expected them to not only not regress but to even have their Race learn stealth and auxiliary methods instead of just going all brawn and no brain. They were actually willing to use the method of creating a temporary clone without disrupting the laws of a dimension or pocket dimension, impressive."
The Responsive Dragon, knowing that she was teaching her husband, still felt deeply proud and thankful from the words of Evil God Katia and he showed it with his following set of words spoken. "Our Race found our disadvantages and bad habits once that calamity struck, and even as we knew that it wasn't the end of it, we knew that we needed to prepare for the continuation of it."
"Going back to our previous records, my ancestors not only took the teachings from the First Monarch, but they also developed it furthermore. It was only a few generations later that our Race began to improve it as we put it in use, we would descend upon the mortal soil a few times a year. But we then stopped doing so as we grew disdainful of the ways that the civilizations were going for."
"With the discontent only growing as time passed by, with eventually, even us being forgotten by convenience from the very same people we are bound to protect. My Race then implemented the use of our methods to create havoc and chaos among the mortals, allowing the foolish ants the desire to grow stronger. Yet, it was to no avail, as only a few Mythical beings were birthed since ancient times."
The Responsive Dragon appeared to be quite discontent and also hurt as he mentioned these words, but he swiftly finished speaking, it's not like the Evil God should nor would care for this sad tragic story of love and hate. And indeed, nor Katia or Yun Beishang gave a little fuck about it.
"And what has the Responsive Dragon been up to, recently?" Yun Beishang asked, the huge dragon's head turned its eyes up at him and curiously glanced at the tiny human, still not the full-fledged Evil God that he is meant to be. Feeling that this Yun Beishang was only finally speaking out for his own mind as of right now, the Responsive Dragon turned majestic at once as he said. "Evil God Husband, though I am the only God Devourer and hence, this generation's Overlord. My Race is still up above in the citadel left behind by the missing Leader, oh, would you like to... visit it some other time?"
Yun Beishang: "..."
"Hahaha, to be honest. Though the 'Main' Divisional Cities around here are all awful and poor, our citadel still remains the same after so many eons, and its structures aren't up to the modern era. However, it is still much more beautiful and glorious of its time than the entire current Main Kingdom, none can compare to my Heavenly Citadel. Even the other Overlords' territories can't!"
"Alright, alright. Enough chatter." Katia suddenly spoke as she lightly shook her head, any prideful race, as long as they have a chance, will blabber as much as they can about it in full delight. Afterwards, Katia then crossed her arms to Yun Beishang's view only and said with a strict tone, "Goldy, don't you have anything to ask for?"
"...Oh, that's right!" The Responsive Dragon 'pouted'—if he could—a little before shaking its head without causing any harm to the environment and then continued with a serious voice as well. "Young Evil God, husband of the Evil God Katia, I have a request for you."
'Oh boy... here it comes.' Feeling nostalgic, Yun Beishang grinned inside and actually grinned out in the outside but only for half an instant before his face turned emotionless and stoic. Yun Beishang then nodded slowly and as he felt a bit comical but honorable at the same time, he answered in a confident voice, "Please tell, Responsive Dragon."
Nodding in ceremony, the Responsive Dragon then took in a long ass amount of air into its shadowed nostrils before saying, "I would like you to get rid of the Demon Race. Exterminate every single one of them in the upcoming war, do not even let those who aid them alive, as you must make sure to kill them all no matter what. Would you do this for me? Afterwards, I will have a few more things to ask of you."
*PING*...due to the recognition of your special Evil God Class and your status as the husband of Katia, the true Responsive Dragon, Overlord of the Bright Sunset Region and Leader of the Heavenly Citadel has asked of you to take the mission of 'Exterminating the Demon Race from the Universe' Special Main Quest, would you like to accept this triggered quest?
Rasa: "!!!"
"...Okay, I will do it. But her, my niece, she isn't a Demon. She's my family; what do you have to say about that?" Yun Beishang responded, but he didn't spent one single second to think about or hesitate about as he directly faced off the Responsive Dragon when he felt the completely crushed heart of Rasa at the unavoidable truth.
*PING*...you've accepted the quest: [Exterminating the Demon race from the Universe]: from the Responsive Dragon, Overlord of the Bright Sunset Region. Quest type: Special Main, Quest time limit: None, Quest reward: ???, Quest punishment upon failure: None.
"...!" Caught unaware, something that even Katia didn't thought that would happen towards such a kind of powerful entity as he should've been more than aware of Rasa's identity and then, of her place in Yun Beishang's heart since the pale golden oval shaped disk is more than obviously from the Responsive Dragon's work.
After glancing once at the top of Yun Beishang's head, with a gaze that was so unpredictable and even impossible to read for the current Yun Beishang and Katia, let alone Zyv and Yun Yun and much less a slightly trembling Rasa; the Responsive Dragon then quietly said in the still majestic and reverberating. "Mn, I can take care of this child for you until you've completed your mission. With both of the Evil Gods as witnesses, I declare her my Responding Dragon Race's ultimate treasure child and gem, to be protected for an eternity and to serve her in times of need, should it be needed... What is your decision, Evil Gods?"
"You do not need to ask that to me, your only need of approbation comes from my husband." Katia said as soon as his words were over, her intention was clear and for that, the Responsive Dragon's clone head nodded respectfully and slowly once; to which it then turned its head back to gaze at the Evil God it should then worry about convincing.
"Rasa, come out."
Tshin~.
"U-Un-Uncle?" Hearing his soft and light command, Rasa came out in a hurry. Still trembling somewhat though, she approached her Uncle as she tugged at his lower pants armor to make sure he would see her right away. In the same manner, Yun Beishang anxiously crouched down from on the pale golden oval shaped disk and then hurried cupped the little demon girl's face before closing his own on hers.
"Rasa, listen to me." As Yun Beishang said that, he touched his forehead on hers lightly before continuing with the same tone in his voice as before, "Katia has told me many times about the Responsive Dragon, and she has now told me a little bit of their past, did you heart that too?"
"...M-mn." Nodding after darting her eyes around as she understood her uncle's meaning, Rasa then calmed down slightly while waiting for Yun Beishang to continue. "Well then, I am sure that even if Rasa were to be in danger, she would come back to me inside my White Space. But even that won't be necessary with his big guy over here to keep you safe. Well, unless it is a 'mysterious' person like the on I almost fought against before."
The Responsive Dragon, aka 'big guy': "..."
"You've been playing a lot with Rosey, my wives and myself quite a bit, haven't you?" Yun Beishang continued, his voice becoming more and more doting as he went on to explain little by little. Rasa responded with another nod as a few big tears dropped from her lacrimals, "Mn!"
"Then, my little niece," as Yun Beishang said this, he lightly grabbed at her large horns that were definitely much larger than those that a young demon should have; tenderly, before continuing. "Could you please wait for me? Even as I am going to do something bad, something really bad and that includes the closes people to you by nature..."
"Would you still receive me with your arms open and an honestly sincere heart?"
"!!!" Before Rasa could think of an answer, her mouth went agape as she gazed up at her uncle while totally dumbfounded. She was... just a child! How could she ever imagine that she would be dealing with this right now? That she was supposed to find an answer already? This was too much!
"B-ba-haahh-bahawwuuu..." Suddenly bursting out a few sobs, and as Rasa rubbed her eyes with her little fists, she appeared to be about to break in tears but, as even Rosey still within the White Space was sitting on the spotless white floor lady-like; Rosey and everyone else present then saw Rasa stop tearing even if she was only doing so a little bit before becoming really serious as she then spoke in a determined tone.
"Yes, I will. I will, I will! I will, Uncle, so please-sniff. Please do not abandon me, okay? Y-y-you will go and have-sniff, to suffer along with my Race but-sniff, I won't blame you. Make your return as fast as possible, okay? Okay, Uncle?"
"...!!" Yun Beishang almost stood up from the way he felt his emotions churning, but once he restrained such instinctive movements from his body, he went rather down and embraced the little demon girl's body into his chest. Warming her entirely with his care and preoccupation as she lightly sobbed until she calmed down.
"...Sniff... ...Sniff, Uncle, when are you coming back?" Separating slightly from his body, Rasa then asked with reddened eyes, Rosey had already appeared to hold Rasa's left little hand with her own right little hand. Yun Beishang smiled slightly but enchantingly at Rasa's question, making her daze a bit as she felt better for some reason, and then heard him speak after lightly kissing her forehead rather well.
"Give me a few months. That's right Little Rasa is so little now, she won't become a beautiful warrioress until a few years later from now on. I wonder if you begin training hard right now, would you then become really amazing." Finding Yun Beishang's attempts admirable, the Responsive Dragon backed up the man of less words right away, fawning a little bit too.
"My Evil God, you have not to worry. I will make sure she awakens the best of her potential and talents, the Godly-Masked Demonic Body will emerge triumphantly in the future. I will make sure of it!" With his head nodding at the end, the Responsive Dragon ended up being more than convincing, as a Little Rasa found her own blood boiling at the mere hearing of such.
"Okay! I will make my Uncle proud for when he returns, I will also make Sister Rosey proud and my deceased beloved Father and Mother proud, I will make everyone proud. Really proud!" Rasa smiled sweetly at Yun Beishang by the end of her words, a brand new sight that he couldn't get to see no matter how hard he tried.
And from then on, after some more well needed time together as Rasa was mimed too much by not only Yun Yun, Zyv, Rosey and Yun Beishang himself; but even with words by the Responsive Dragon clone's honeyed speeches here and there as well as comforts. Katia remained silent as she seated down on the tall vegetation of her own Space, slowly calming her mind in turmoil in Yun Beishang's stead.
Soon after, the Little Demon Girl Yun Beishang once found by mistake and curiosity even; departed slightly sobbingly but earnestly for the future... away from him.

Let It Rain's Note: I'm letting out many hints, especially through the last 2 chapters, but they are very, very subtle. Wonder if they'll be spot on? ʕ ି ڡ ି ʔ.
