Having obtained Divinities related to Space and Creation, Vahn was only a few Objectives away from completing the Zenith Quest, [Genesis Path: Dawn of Creation]. He had completed all but one of the Optional Objectives, but, if he really wanted to, it was surprisingly easy to create a few unique lifeforms, especially with his [Keeper of the Akashic Tome]. The …

With the time dilation of Theo’s Resort Diorama, days quickly turned into weeks, and, slowly but surely, weeks coalesced into months. This was more than enough time for great changes to occur, sentiments to changes, and dynamics to shift. Vahn was able to see Asuna grow like a bean sprout, and, though they weren’t exactly close, Eva and Arika had …

Due to the comprehensive nature of the procedure, more than three hours had passed by the time Vahn pulled out a warm towel, covering Arika’s naked body as he said, “Take a few minutes to calm down before trying to move. Let’s not have a repeat of the last time, okay…?” Rather than respond, Arika just lazily nodded, her forearm …

With Asuna dangling her feet at the side, Vahn lightly hummed a song as he mixed together the ingredients for everyone’s lunch. Around him, preparing additional ingredients and side-dishes, a total of three identical doll-like women were silently supporting him. They had each been created by Eva’s Innate skill, [Doll Maker], and, though they were mass-produced automatons with limited cognition, …

With Eva and Baihu taking charge of Arika’s and Theo’s training, Vahn had a lot more free time than before. Asuna was still a little too young to do any arduous training, so, when they weren’t working on her foundation, he spent his time teaching her how to focus her mind and relax. She had quickly mastered the basics of …

Once everyone had returned from their baths, Vahn introduced Baihu and Xuanwu to the girls, explaining their origins and briefly mentioning Zhuque and Qinglong. He would eventually manifest all four of the Divine Beasts, so, before any blame could be assigned, Vahn went on a tangent trying to explain Innates and the myriad ways in which they could manifest. This …

Entering the diorama, Vahn found Eva acting standoffish toward Arika and Theo while Fenrir observed silently from the side. Fortunately, the moment they noticed his arrival, they acted as if everything was perfectly normal, Eva adopting a lazy smile as she mused, “I was starting to think you got lost.” Deciding it wasn’t the best time for banter, Vahn just …

Seeing Eva for the first time, Arika couldn’t help but make comparisons between herself and the infamous Demon Queen. She wanted to understand what made Eva so special that Vahn would even traverse between worlds and through time just to ‘save’ her… Realizing the direction of her thoughts, Arika internally rebuked herself before forcing a polite smile onto her face. …

With Eva holding his hand and Asuna riding on his shoulders, Vahn leisurely made his way back to the estate that had been appropriated for Arika’s and Theo’s shared usage. It was the former estate allocated to the Arch-Dean so there were plenty of rooms available after most of the vile man’s belongings had been discarded. Now, much like the …

With the school day nearing its end, Vahn was helping Eva choose outfits while she made subtle adjustments to her physical appearance in front of a standing mirror. She was wearing little more than lacy black lingerie, and, after more than two hours in front of the mirror, she had become a rather striking beauty. Vahn had tried to convince …
