Chapter 1417.1
The first thing Davey noticed after exiting the virtual space was Darian. The little lad was sound asleep, lying between him and Perserque.“Davey?”
“Shh.”
It looked like he had gotten hot, as he'd kicked off his blanket and was sleeping with his stomach exposed.
Finding the sight cute and heartwarming, Davey was about to pull the blanket back over him when he suddenly paused.
Darian.
The person he saw in the virtual space was clearly Darian. He couldn’t help but think of his son being right next to him as more than just a coincidence.
Even Perserque, feeling more confusion than affection, kept silent.
Davey noticed a piece of virtual reality equipment that looked like someone had used it recently. “That...”
“No way... did Darian really?” Perserque’s face immediately turned pale. Had Darian snuck in and caused trouble while they were away? If so, how were Davey and Perserque supposed to deal with him? It couldn't have possibly been intentional, so punishing him wouldn't feel right.
Davey pulled the blanket over the soundly sleeping Darian and carefully rose to his feet.
“Davey.”
“For now, we don’t have anything solid.”
Davey woke up Kouna, who groggily sat up and rubbed her eyes. “Huh?”
“Shh. Darian’s sleeping, so be quiet.”
“Ah...” She was bewildered since she’d just been hearing that Darian was the one who trashed the primitive dimension.
“Let’s just let him sleep for now. Nothing’s confirmed yet.”
Yet, if Darian really had used Willow’s access device to run rampant inside, Davey had no clue what he should do about it.
“Dear sweet Darian, what could you be hiding from us?”

Once Davey’s companions gathered again, the atmosphere was as heavy as could be.
Aeria looked like she couldn’t believe it, and Illyna, with a firm expression, summarized the situation.
Aeria muttered, “That can’t be. Darian’s clearly...”
“As you know, he was definitely next to me when we came out from the virtual world. Plus, we can't ignore that thing over there.”
Willow, who was sitting to the side checking the access device, sighed. “You’re right, Dad. There are signs of Darian accessing it.”
Aeria showed a troubled face and lowered her head. Her slight trembling revealed just how worried she was about him.
“How could Darian... he’s still a kid! How could a child who can’t even talk properly wreck the world?”
“The Darian I saw in the virtual world wasn’t a child. At this point, we can at least be certain that there’s something dormant inside him.”
“Like Neltarid’s prophecy,” Willow mumbled. “Dad, do you remember?”
“Hmm?”
“Remember what Neltarid said before they died.”
