The grand war between multiple proxies and [Tyrants] had a great effect on the world, even two years later.
But there was no place that it had affected more than the Primus World.
When the battle had just ended and Raven returned everyone to their original dimension, wide-spread shock was evident.
The citizens were scared out their minds when they saw countless corpse of their own soldiers.
Families wept for their dead, lovers celebrated their partner's successful return, and children welcome back their parents.
All kinds of emotion were bubbling up in the citizens and had reached its peak.
Naturally, an announcement about what had transpired was released to inform the people.
When they heard all the big names that died at the hands of their soldiers, they celebrated and praised their world as untouchable.
This caused a lot of youth to get pumped up, wishing to join the branch and fight alongside these invincible forces.
Naturally, Miko's fame also risen to the peak.
A young boy slew countless enemies, and even crippled the enemy leader.
How would he be famous?
Currently, Miko was seen as a future Nero and Nova.
Momo also gained a lot of fame and acceptance from the people as Miko's master. As well as someone who fought for them.
Aeon on the other hand, purposely left and covered his actions in the war. So his fame was overshadowed as he wanted it.
Nero, Nova, Kimiko, Sherry, and Raven were already considered omniscient, so the faith in them only increased as if they were gods.
In the mountains located at the southern end of the world, Miko laid on the ground breathing heavily.
Around him were countless monster corpses of all sizes.
He was currently 12 and had grown older in the face. He looked like he did when he first learnt [Skeletal Reconstruction]. Only now, he looked a bit more like Tiamat, giving him a feminine appearance like Nero and Nova.
He also found out that it was hard for his body to build muscle. Even though his strength greatly increased, his muscle mass didn't.
It was like he was destined to look feminine.
Miko even started to wonder if it was the same for all male Proxies whose Parent God was female.
Since he has yet to meet another male proxy with a female god, he didn't know.
“You've improved again. With your current strength you should be able to battle anyone in [A Class].”
The one who said that was Momo, who was in her child form, sitting on a horse.
“If your Qi didn't go out of whack for nearly a year, you would've officially crossed over to [A Class].”
Because he overused his Qi in the war, Miko temporarily lost the ability to manifest Qi.
This caused his physical strength to stop growing past [B Class].
Because his body was still young, it was hard for him to increase his physical abilities without Qigong. He had to once again rely on magic to boost his strength.
However, when his Qi returned he got a surprised.
His Qigong level rose a rank to Qigong Warrior.
This greatly surprised Momo.
Normally it takes years for someone to reach Qigong Warrior from Qigong Apprentice.
4 years if you're slow. Half that time if you're fast.
Miko did it in little over a year.
If you also consider the fact that he only activated his Qi three and a half years ago, it was very startling.
Miko was now a rank under Momo who was a Qigong King. It was obvious that Miko's talent in Qigong was far superior to Momo's.
However, when it came to magic she was far superior.
“But this is strange though. You're dominant bloodline should be Tiamat’s like mine. So why is your talent leaning more to Augustus’? Or could it be that both bloodlines are equal in you like Gramps? But why didn't it show in your hair color? Is it because you're Tiamat's proxy?”
Half way through what she said, Momo was mumbling to herself.
Miko then sprung to his feet and stretched his body.
“Anyone in [A Class] huh. What if I use my demon form?”
“I don't know. I can't judge that form accurately. It follows its own principles.”
Hearing that Miko couldn't help but to agree.
He had obtained Beleth’s abilities but it wasn't so simple.
“Anyway, let's head back.”
Momo said.
Miko nodded in agreement.

He then stepped out and with a grunt giant azure and gold dragon wings appeared on his back.
Momo then jumped on his back.
Miko frowned and looked at Momo, and saw her mischievous expression.
He sighed and flopped his wings, and shot towards the sky.
The reason he didn't chase Momo from his back was because he considered the extra weight good for training his flying abilities.
It was at this moment, Momo changed to her true adult body.
She also used a spell to increase both her and Miko's weight, to make it hard for him.
As Miko flopped his wings with Momo's body glued to him, he could feel his body get hot as his blood started rushing through his body.
Miko clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Not too long ago, he found out that Raven's words about it was literally painful for Nero to go without women, was true.
It was as Raven said.
“Once you reach puberty, you'll see what I mean.”
Miko was currently a preteen, which meant he had began puberty.
He quickly learned that his sexual desires were growing at an alarming rate.
This was because of his dragon blood.
It reached a point where it was hard to control.
However, he knew as he gets older he'll gain a better control over his carnal desires.
But it was still overbearing for the current Miko.
He could now understand why male members of the Dragna had multiple wives.
One woman literally can't satisfy them. In fact, he was sure that if he stuck to one woman for the rest of his life, he might end up depleting her vitality, worse case scenario killing her.
After experiencing the real thing himself, Miko immediately thought that Rouge was the odd one.
One wife, one kid? He couldn't understand how he did it. If he had at least five kids over the years he would understand.
Even though he was thinking that, it didn't mean that he'll lose control and start raping women.
But it will take a strong will to deny a beautiful woman if she throw herself at him.
This made it easier for him to fall for a honey trap. But it was still unlikely.
For him to fall in a honey trap, the woman would have to have a Tiamat level beauty, or had some that attracted him to her. Even then, the honey trap would have a10% chance of succeeding.
(How's it feel to have carnal desires again?)
Tiamat mocked him in his head.
(This is actually a good time. I've been meaning to ask you something for a while.)
‘What?’
(Do you plan on having descendants in this world?)
Tiamat's question maybe sounded weird, but she had a legitimate reason.
As Logan Cross, Miko made it his number one priority to not have children.
The reason for this could be traced back to his birth.
Logan was born in an ancient cult called the True Cross.
It was a gnostic cult that somehow survived the Roman crusades against pagan believers. Over the centuries the cult grew from a weak group of pagans that were on the verge of destruction, to a powerful force living in the shadows of society.
The reason for this was the True Believer Project.
This is a project that aims to create the best disciples possible through gene manipulation.
In other terms, they wanted to create superior humans worthy of being called God's Children.
At first they accomplished this by practicing Selective Breeding among humans. The members would go out in the world and reproduce with all kinds of talented persons; no matter their race, nationality, or belief.
As long as they had some kind of talent they were welcomed.
After centuries of practicing this all kinds of geniuses started appearing in the project.
At one point it was so high that every 1:3 offsprings were superior to other humans in someway.
However, talent wasn't necessarily inheritable. There were times were no true genius was born for several decades. This created a huge flaw in the project.
To fix this, the family turned to science. Because of the countless geniuses they produced over the centuries they had gathered a lot of influence in lots of areas.
So they funded several gene manipulation projects.
While it wasn't on a sci-fi level, they were successful in manipulating genes to a certain extent. This allowed them to produce more geniuses than before.
But the cult itself changed.
All of the member's marriages were decided for them beforehand. They were not allowed to have any other lover than what was chosen for them.
If they did, then they would be purged from the project. If you had a child with someone who wasn’t up to standard, your child would be killed along with you and your lover.
It goes without saying that it was a crazy cult.
It was because of this cult that Logan hated the concept of gods and religions.
To him these things only made people stupid, insane, and delusional. This was why he wanted to destroy them.
By the time Logan was born, half of the children were test-tube babies who went through a bit of a gene mutation. Not only that, the gifted children would be cherished while the non gifted would be sent to one of their remote facilities and live in shame with the brand of “defect”.
Logan was a defect. But when it was discovered that a few people had affairs and contaminated the project, a mass purge was carried out.
Logan who was saved in the nick of time was the sole survivor of the purge. But his mind had already been broken, which cause him to become mentally unstable.
Ironically, it was this instability that awaken his talents and made him the unparalleled genius that the cult had been seeking.
However, Logan throughly eradicated it.
Afterwards, he vowed to not have children and let his bloodline end with him.
Although, Logan Cross was dead, Gamiko Dragna was still alive and possessed a completely different bloodline.
There shouldn't be a problem having children.
Thinking that, Miko-
‘Sure. I'll have children here.’
(Oh, I see!)
Miko and Tiamat's link grew stronger over the years. The two were now able to feel when the other was feeling strong emotions.
Miko didn't know why Tiamat was feeling very happy right now. Well, he had a few guesses, but he didn't voice them.
After nearly a hour of flying, they finally arrived at the palace.
When Miko was directly over the palace, Momo jumped off his back and landed on the ground in her child form.
Miko landed in front of her and walked towards the palace.
As they walked countless servants stopped what they were doing and bowed. It's been like this since the war. No one dared to show contempt to anyone of the head family.
They didn't want to get purge after all. Especially now that Momo’s inheritance rights had been returned to her.
“By the way, how’s the search for your mother?”
Miko asked.
Momo shook her head.
“Her location is still unknown. But the news of Krow's death must've reached her by now. So she'll probably come home when she's ready.”
“I see.”
It was around this time that they saw a red-haired woman, with a beautiful face and fierce golden eyes.
“Oh, Aunty Neo.”
Said Momo.
Neo frown when she heard that.
“Are you mocking me?”
“No. You're my aunt. Why would I mock you?”
“Hmph. I've still haven't lost to be your aunt.”
After the war, only two of the people who invaded the Primus World survived.
They were Killo and Neo.
Even though they survived, the reasons were different.
Killo earned his survival with his overwhelming power, while Neo was spared.
So naturally their status were different.
Killo was able to leave, but Neo became a prisoner of war.
Although she was a prisoner, it wasn't like she was confined or anything. Other than her magic and Qi being sealed, she was free of any restrictions.
In fact, even with her powers sealed Neo stilled had overwhelming strength. She was a Qigong God after all.
So her physical abilities were pretty much unrivaled. Escaping here might not be a cinch, but it was possible.
However she never tried to escape even once in the two years. It was obvious why.
“Hey, Neo. Can you spar with me again?”
Said Miko.
Neo looked at him and smiled.
“You'll get beat in one hit again, you know?”
“I still want to.”
Neo nodded.
“Sure.”
After parting with Neo and Momo, Miko headed towards Kimiko's room. She remained her even two years after the war. This was to effectively teach Miko as much techniques as possible.
Along the way he met an azure haired boy in the hall.
This boy was around 14 or 13, and gave off an aloof aura.
When Miko's eyes met with the boy’s he could feel a great power lurking within him.
He could automatically tell that this boy was very strong.
“……”
“……”
The two passed in silence as they observed each other.
When the boy was no longer in sight, Miko stopped his feet.
“Who was that?”
After returning from Kimiko's room, Miko got a message saying that Nero called for him.
When he got to the throne room, he saw Nero with a smile on his face.
Miko smile as well and said-
“Looks like it went well.”
