Chapter 243 Dante's "Origins"

?

Harold was actually much smaller than the other two, being around the size of a child. He also had child-like features that were extremely cute and endearing to any onlooker, with his bright red skin and now stubby little horns.

However, the others could tell his sin affiliation at a glance.

"Envy? I expected better from you, Harold," Lucian stated with disdain.

Harold's sweet expression became ugly and full of malice. "Of course you would, Lucian, born into a rich family that is a mid-sized clan. As for a pauper like me who is at the bottom rung of pure human society, you cannot understand how it feels!"

"I never knew you were this whiny, or I would have never associated with you!" Lucian stated without a hint of sympathy, a look of utter disdain on his face.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. At least I don't envy you," Harold stated with a bored wave of his hand.

He then turned and sized Aisha up. "Bitch, who are you? Lust? Why don't I feel turned on though you are truly sexy?"

"It doesn't make sense for the seven deadly sins to be affected by each other, does it? Otherwise, how are we supposed to combine our powers against the seven virtues?" Aisha explained with a roll of her eyes.

Hearing the seven virtues, the three showed expressions of slight hatred, which Dante did not miss. He wondered if the seven virtues existed somewhere in the same way he had created these three deadly sins out of the seven.

"Enough. The three of you, turn into emblems and let me take you to the Eternal Universe. Harold and Lucian, you guys need to return home and exact revenge on the clans that bullied and practically crippled your families. Aisha, I'll have Beatrice register you as another lost pure human along with my parents as a member of my family," Dante stated as he called them back.

Aisha nodded while Harold and Lucian's expressions changed greatly. While they may be loyal to Dante now, they still had some affection for their family clans, as they had been raised there.

Dante collected them into three emblems around his wrist and then teleported to his parents and uncle who had been patiently waiting. Seeing as their son/nephew was done, they got up excitedly to head to the Eternal Universe and witness this glorious land for themselves.

With a smile, Dante activated his quantum entanglement and designated his three family members as targets, and everyone was instantly carted off to the Eternal Universe.

When they appeared, they were in the cockpit of the Inferno dreadnought. Beatrice was currently scrolling through some content while in her uniform because Dante had already warned her that he would be bringing his parent over soon.

When she felt the group appear, she put away her entertainment and stood up ramrod straight like a cadet being called to attention. She then woodenly walked over with an almost awkward grace towards the group who were marveling at the interior of the spaceship.

It was then that Dante called everyone's attention into focus with a smile. "Mom, dad, Uncle Peter, this is my fiance and soon-to-be wife, Beatrice Portinari."

The trio turned to look at Beatrice and their reactions were as Dante expected. Peter's eyes bulged out, and his newly grown hair almost fell off. David, no matter how stoic, was truly shocked this time, and his mouth kept flapping like a fish.

It was only Aileen who reacted loudly, with a shout of joy as she rushed over and held Beatrice's hand. "Oh my God, David, look at her. She's so beautiful and perfect!"

"E-Ehh??" Beatrice was immediately stunned into stupefaction as her face became red as an apple.

"Ah! You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and no one on our planet can compare to you! This is amazing, my daughter-in-law is amazing!" Aileen continued to gush out her happiness at the sheer superiority of her prospective daughter-in-law.

Dante merely stood by the side with a satisfied smile. He knew his family well enough that they would definitely accept Beatrice.

After all, he had provided them all the info about her, minus her looks, so if they already had no problem with her history or family, they would definitely not be able to resist when they saw how beautiful his darling Beatrice was.

Beatrice was flustered and shy by her mother-in-law's enthusiasm while David and Peter had pulled Dante to one side and were patting him on the head, back, and shoulder repeatedly while gushing out with praise at how he managed to snatch such a good one.

Dante was amused and saved Beatrice from exploding out of bashfulness by alerting everyone that there was a need to register them in the pure human database of this universe. For Dante's parents and uncle, it would be much easier than himself because they had him as a connection.

In fact, it was about time for Dante to 'create' his actual background and history as that had been mostly left unfilled, which had been a point that the various factions even attacked when he was in seclusion.

As such, Dante sat everyone down as they began to work on and refine the history of their 'family' in the Eternal Universe using real events. Beatrice and Aileen made the most contributions because one was a native and was slightly more savvy while the other had a knowledge-based superpower that could present information more sharply than others.

After a while, this is what they had created…

In the early years of humanity's voyage into space, when mankind's conquest of the cosmos was but a faint dream, a small clan of pureblood humans found themselves exiled from Earth for a myriad of reasons untraceable now but believed to be political.

Aboard a single shuttle, they embarked on a journey to the uncharted regions of the cosmos, leaving behind their home, their people, and their past. They numbered around 4000 at this time.

The shuttle's odyssey through the dark void of space was fraught with hardships, a harsh test of the clan's determination to survive.

Fuel shortages, mechanical failures, and the unforgiving void of space itself threatened to extinguish their hope.

After years of aimless drifting, they finally stumbled upon a habitable planet on the fringes of the galaxy.

It was a world of earth-like beauty, but its seemingly calm surface hid deadly species.

Monstrous wildlife, mysterious flora, and otherworldly phenomena became their daily bread.

The group of 4000, who had dwindled down to 1500 after so long, now consisted of four formerly large families who forged a tenuous pact to face the planet's challenges together.

The Italian Alighieri familia brought their wisdom and charisma to the group.

The Ghanaian Mensah family, skilled hunters and trackers, provided the essential sustenance.

The Danish Heineken estate's technological acumen enabled them to create the tools and defenses required for survival.

The Chinese AI clan possessed the uncanny ability to easily awaken latent superpowers within their members.

The planet's inhospitable nature brought out the best in them, forging a unity that would determine their destiny.

Through the power of awakened superpowers, they tamed the planet's wild beasts, bent the forces of nature to their will, and built a society capable of fending off the planet's innate hostilities.

In the centuries that followed, the group seemed to flourish as the talents and powers of their mixed descendants were maximized with each generation.

However, there was a price to pay in the sense that, with each generation, the number of births dwindled even as the superpower awakening rate - and quality - grew exponentially.

This continued for the eight or so millennia until now, when the group was left with numbers barely reaching double digits, when one of the last of the new generation awakened his teleportation power and found himself on the streets of Planet Etonia's Avalon city, sparking a wave of events universe-wide.

"Heyyy, that's pretty good!" Dante exclaimed with surprise.

"And so, Dante, who was exposed to the universe, decided to bring his family out to see the world, especially in regards to his upcoming marriage to Beatrice," Aileen finished with a satisfied snort.

David and Peter simply shared a look and did not comment. Clearly, Aileen was fully invested in this, and anyone who dared to speak out might get clawed in the face. Beatrice was simply immersed and couldn't extricate herself while Dante was supportive because even if others found problems with the story, as long as his fist was strong, anyone would accept it.

And so, this was the story that was published to the Pure Human Council by Dante as he brought his parents to Earth to be registered. This time, it was not Director Johnson but an even higher-ranking dignitary who hurriedly handled everything for them while continually hinting to Dante that his daughter was also free for marriage.

Even Aisha was registered as his cousin, which made the woman snicker. "We both have dark skin, and have ancestry from Italy. We might actually be cousins, you know, especially since your grandpa was also a mafia lord."
