Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 475 Mission: 03-4 Transference Therapy
The matter of Virgil has come to an end, and it will be impossible to change his mind and stop him from causing trouble anytime soon.

So, after sealing the remaining Limbo and driving away Igvigil, Nero simply left a mark on him and then prepared to begin searching for the entrance to the Celestial Ruins.

"That guy..." Heterodacty watched his brother's departing figure, grinding his teeth in annoyance.

Dante, the alien who now easily uses his brother's domain to cover the Earth and freeze time, feels powerless to do anything about it.

“You’ll have to talk to him slowly.” Mr. Dante patted him on the shoulder as someone who had been through it all, and said in a tone that was three parts pity and three parts suppressed laughter, “You might be able to read more books… like ‘The Art of Speaking’ or something like that.”

"what?"

Faced with Dante's skepticism, Mr. Dante leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Trust me, Virgil is a softie, not a hardie. If you try harder, maybe it will work."

Mr. Nero bluntly remarked, "If you ask me, he'll just have to suddenly decide to have a relationship and everything will be fine."

"...Is this how you expose my secrets?" Mr. Virgil was a little embarrassed.

Nero nodded: "I think so too. Doesn't he think he's not human? Well, finding a human to date would be the cure-all."

“Nero?!” Virgil’s pupils trembled in shock.

"You all think so?" Dante scratched his head, still somewhat incredulous. "He doesn't seem like the type to be in a relationship."

"..."

In an instant, the two Virgils silently turned their heads to look at both sides of the bridge.

The truth is quite the opposite. The two Dantes, who appear to be dashing playboys, are actually pure-hearted comic book nerds, while the seemingly aloof Virgil is a sentimental, artistic, and somewhat repressed man. The latter is clearly more likely to fall in love.

"So, Dad, you haven't told me about what happened back then..."

"Ahem!" Virgil quickly interrupted Nero with a cough: "Let's get down to business."

"Hmm—?"

Unfortunately, the conversation didn't ultimately return to Virgil's romantic history. Once the topic turned to Sparta in this world and his current "celestial realm," the conversation quickly became uncontrollable.

“I don’t really have any memory of Sparta,” Dante replied frankly. “I only have fragments of my memories from before I was seven years old; most of them were erased by that guy.”

“I’m pretty much the same,” Dante said. “The last time I saw him was when I was very young, and he was never home anyway.”

Heterodane Dante opened his mouth in surprise: "Is that so? I remember that Mondes from your side was defeated a long time ago, so why doesn't he come back?"

“I don’t know.” Mr. Dante shook his head. “He left behind his sword and his power, and then he disappeared. No one in the world has ever seen him again.”

"died?"

That's how I feel.

“I don’t think so. No one in this world can kill him.” Mr. Virgil stubbornly contradicted the two men, showing that he was a staunch supporter of the theory that Sparta was the strongest.

Virgil sighed and joined the conversation: "I do know that my father went to the Little Garden later, but we haven't heard from him in a long time."

"By the way, how can you be so sure that's your father... and not mine?" Mr. Virgil glanced at him sideways.

Virgil responded with a riddle: "There is always a way, but I cannot go into details."

He then immediately turned the conversation to Dante the Other: "And how do you know that Sparta is still alive?"

"He spoke to me."

"?" Dante's statement immediately drew the attention of the others.

He explained somewhat anxiously, "Really, even though it was in a dream, he told me about Mondes... I didn't know what that guy was."

"In my dream..."

And this is the only clue. The "celestial realm" of this world has long been destroyed by Mondes, and its inhabitants have been slaughtered. The entrance may also no longer exist. There is truly no way to enter it.

"Let's go find Virgil a woman instead."

Immediately, some people started to back out, and it was Mr. Nero who spoke.

"So the question is, what kind of woman does Virgil like—"

The conversation was interrupted again, as the matter of Sparta was the most urgent. The group ultimately decided to go to Sparta's birthplace to look for clues.

The story of how the heterodox Dante heard the Spartans speak also happened here.

Fortunately, after much effort, the legendary "Heavenly Realm" finally opened its gates to them.

"Sparta?"

The heterodox Dante tentatively called out to the enormous stone statue in the distance, bound to the sea by countless chains.

Unable to speak, the sealed Spartan could only project his words into the mind of the other Dante. Hearing that Mondes had been defeated and that his son now wanted to break the seal on him, he didn't seem particularly happy.

"..." After listening to Sparta's speech, Heterodane Dante turned his head and shook his head helplessly.

“He said the seal couldn’t be broken,” he said.

The Spartans of this world are not Nephilim, which is why they lack the power to oppose the Demon Emperor. Mondes sealed him here, using the power of the heavens to gradually corrupt Spartans, who were already demons.

Over a long period of time, Sparta's power had been completely worn away by the seal. Therefore, he could no longer leave the seal; the moment he broke free, he, as a demon, would perish.

"That means we'll have to figure out a solution later."

Nero shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. They hadn't been prepared for the current situation, but that didn't mean they couldn't rescue Sparta from this world. They should be able to safely release him from the seal once they were better prepared.

There's always a way in a sandbox garden.

After letting the eccentric Dante and his father continue their conversation for a while, the group left the Celestial Realm.

Next stop, the world of Mr. Nero and his two old friends. They also need to go back to see Trish, Lady, and Kyrie after a long time, and then prepare for their journey to the Little Garden.

"So, Dad, what kind of person was my mother?"

Virgil let out a long sigh, feeling utterly exhausted.

"Nero, can we set aside this issue for now?"

He said in a low voice, as if pleading, "We can talk about it privately later."

Nero glanced furtively at Dante, who was peeking out to inquire about the matter, and nodded slightly at him.

"alright."

But if Dante finds out later, then you can't blame her for not keeping her mouth shut.
