Reborn as the Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Chapter 117: Small Universe

Moreover, Athena is one of Lucius’s daughters who rarely praises her father. As the eldest daughter of Lilith and Lucius, Athena received special guidance from Lilith when she was first born into this world.

Most of the experiences Athena has had to date came directly from Lilith. But Athena never once asked for training from her mother. Therefore, until she grew up, what Athena did was travel with her mother and witness the battles her mother fought against her enemies in the past.

That was also one of the reasons why Athena felt amazed when she witnessed how her lover faced enemies who were much stronger than he was. However, the figure of Lucien when he faced his enemies reminded her of Lilith.

Almost all of Lilith’s daughters imagined Lucien as their mother when she fought against an impossible number of enemies. Even when Lucien faced thousands of troops from the Vermillion family, both Athena and her other sisters began to imagine the figure of their mother as she fought face-to-face against countless enemies.

Numbers meant absolutely nothing in Lilith’s eyes. Likewise, Lucien, when he was in his true form. When Lucien faced enemies at the Dragon King stage and below, he could easily destroy them all with a single wave of his sword.

The movements Lucien displayed when he killed most of the troops from the Vermillion family were enough to portray him as the second Lilith in the world. Even the Dragon Emperor admitted that Lucien had the same great potential as Lilith. Because of this, the Dragon Emperor began to view Lucien as a threat that would hinder his future path.

Inside Lilith’s dragon nest, Athena, who had previously been standing outside Lilith’s room, began to walk into her mother’s room. However, Lilith’s nest had been inside her room from the very beginning.

There was no reason for Lilith not to create her own little world within her private room. For some reason, an endless feeling of nervousness began to surge within Athena’s heart.

Everything inside her mother’s nest radiated the extraordinary power that Lilith possessed. Even as Athena stood inside Lilith’s nest, she felt an unfamiliar amount of mana begin to enter her respiratory tract.

The feeling of breathing the pure energy within her mother’s nest slightly eased the nervousness that had previously plagued Athena’s heart. On the other hand, Athena’s face returned to its calm expression when she felt the presence of her mother, who was now standing in front of her.

A small grin involuntarily appeared on Lilith’s beautiful and enchanting face. Lilith’s gaze continuously examined the condition of her eldest daughter. For some reason, an involuntary sigh escaped Lilith’s lips.

The development of Athena’s strength over the past half year slightly disappointed Lilith’s expectations of her eldest daughter. The incredibly powerful talent that Athena possessed was something Lilith had passed down to her. As a mother, Lilith hoped that her eldest daughter would break through to the Dragon Emperor stage within the next few months.

Almost all the time, Lilith had been watching her daughters’ every movement, even when they traveled throughout the Dragon Realm. But as both a mother and the strongest being in the entire world, Lilith hoped that her eldest daughter would develop as rapidly as her son-in-law.

"This is a bit disappointing. Luckily, you decided to come and ask your mother for something. I told you when you were young, didn’t I?"

No answer came from Athena other than a small nod. Since she was little, Athena had listened to her mother’s advice regarding the talents she had inherited from her. However, the abilities of the Star Element could only be used by Lilith and herself.

Each of Lilith’s daughters inherited one of the characteristics their mother possessed. Shelia even had an ability that allowed her to read the hearts of all living beings. Therefore, Lilith possessed all the abilities that she had passed down to her daughters.

Every time Lilith crossed paths with someone outside her family, she immediately knew what every dragon in the entire Dragon Realm was thinking about her. Because Lilith was the Dragon Emperor’s main enemy, the citizens of the Dragon Realm considered Lilith the greatest threat to the Dragon Realm.

That was one of the reasons why Lilith decided not to travel outside the Dragonia Kingdom, even though she was the strongest. Not everyone in the world considered Lilith a good being. Therefore, Lilith had absolutely no intention of doing anything bad to the citizens of the Dragon Realm.

"Sigh. I understand. I will help you from now onwards. But I want to ask one thing of you, my daughter. Would you allow it?"

"..." Silence involuntarily crept into Athena’s mind as she listened to the last sentence spoken by her mother. For the first time, Athena witnessed her mother asking for something she had never asked for in her entire life.

A large part of Athena was suspicious of her mother’s hidden intentions in trying to get close to her lover. Despite that, Athena couldn’t help but grant her mother’s request, even if she asked for something unreasonable.

"Okay... Just tell me what you want. But I beg you not to ask for anything excessive."

Without any visible reaction from Athena, Lilith immediately moved her to an empty and mysterious place. The place where Athena now stood was called the Void. It was a place that Lilith had created with her power.

"Welcome to this small universe that was created directly by your mother. I welcome your arrival, my beloved daughter."

"This feeling... Star Element... Isn’t this the ability of the Star Element? But it’s even more vast compared to what I can use up to now!"

Small, continuous chuckles began to come out of Lilith’s mouth. The expression Lilith showed at this time revealed nothing but her arrogance. After several thousand years of not showing her pride in front of others, Lilith was finally able to show off her extraordinary creation to her eldest daughter.

There was no reason for Athena not to feel amazed by the small universe her mother had created. This was the first time Athena had witnessed a living being create such a phenomenon, bringing the Void and all the stars around it into existence. For that reason, Athena once again regarded Lilith as a mysterious woman who had surpassed the common sense of all living beings.

"This... This is completely unbelievable. Wait, Mother... Is it true that Mother isn’t someone who has successfully reached the level of transcendent power?"
