The consciousness of the two souls remained there, standing in silence, observing everything within the inventory. There was no doubt; everything inside was exactly as they left it before coming to the main quest.
Alm then muttered with a bit of understanding, "Heaven’s Will brought us to another universe. Bringing a spatial rune, which is something close to it, should be much simpler."
’Physical cultivation and other things are intrinsic to the body, so it couldn’t bring it with us. Yet, the system could help us a bit in this way by allowing us to bring our spatial inventory. Too bad we had no way of knowing, and we didn’t prepare,’ Bruno replied with a sigh.
’We have mountains of spiritual crystals and some pills we stole from that city. There must be something we can do with that,’ Alm said, then spotted in the background a black mound and remembered excitedly. ’We also have the body and the core of that wyvern we killed in the prison.’ (Chapter 122)
Bruno’s eyes also gleamed at the sight of that wyvern, but soon he spotted something transparent and small, almost imperceptible. Immediately, his mind lit up, and an idea sprouted in his head.
’I understand why the system sent us the inventory along,’ Bruno said excitedly, and Alm turned to him with doubts. Then, with his finger, Bruno pointed in a direction, and Alm, following his gaze, spotted that small soul that existed in tiny pieces. It was the extremely damaged soul that was being refined, and Bruno saved it in the underground of the village. (Chapter 160)
Alm immediately had the same understanding. ’The system was very specific in saying that we should create a divine soul, and it even gave us this. Well... we can really transfer this soul to the demoness, linking it directly to the fetus, preventing the formation from absorbing it.’
Bruno smiled excitedly; he had no idea what to do with this soul when he saved it, but the system took care of opening a path for it to be restored. His good deed of saving that soul seems to have paid off.
’One less problem. Just wait for the kings to become strong enough, and we refine both in this soul,’ Alm commented.
’I’m not going to stand by watching all the demons and demonic beasts being massacred and refined by them. Let’s stop this from continuing,’ Bruno said seriously, and Alm’s face contorted, but soon Bruno added, ’If we refine both kings and the hero together, it should be enough.’
Alm then nodded satisfactorily; killing a hero was always the best option. How to do it was a problem, but they had the advantage that the hero had no idea what he was dealing with. A surprise move was, most of the time, more efficient than a higher power used head-on.
The two then focused on thinking about the next steps. Now, with the inventory items at their disposal, there were many possibilities. But soon, the two felt a pain in planning each of them. Almost everything they used would be lost forever in this universe, but there was no other choice.
’In the memory I read, it was clear that the Cerberus bloodline is enhanced by devouring things with strong Yin. What Malieka gave us to eat was meat she stole from the battlefields, running a great risk of being caught,’ Bruno commented lightly. That demoness spared no effort to see her adopted son grow strong and healthy.
Alm sighed, accepting the inevitable; they had the perfect food for the bloodline of this Cerberus to multiply several times. An extremely well-preserved body of a black wyvern with extreme cultivation.
’At least we’ll have the core and bones to use later,’ Alm murmured and looked seriously at a dozen pills they stole from the city. ’Since we’re going to do it, it has to be perfect. She will get pregnant, so we’ll use the pills to nourish that body and soul to the limit, thus ensuring the result.’
Inside the dark cavern, Malieka and Rhug were still in deep thought about the changes in the Cerberus when they both felt the entire environment change with a physical suppression combined with a Yin of death that made them kneel trembling. That sinister aura came from the Cerberus’s room, and it took half a day for a subtle relief to sweep through their bodies. Malieka was the first to run and open the stone door of the room.

Inside, a fire torch illuminated the entire place covered in ashen bones that made her mind tremble. Then, in the center, she saw her ’son’ with a gigantic bulge in his belly waving as all the bones disappeared. Only he remained, making her snap awake and rush to his side.
She tried to call out to him and speak with him, but the two heads were completely unconscious in a deep coma, and soon a desperation took hold of her. It was at this moment that Rhug approached her, a bit shaky, and spoke from his back.
"He’s not bad, it’s bloodline... I can feel it multiplying... multiple times... every second before my eyes. What the hell did he eat?"
Malieka nodded without responding but sighed in relief; Rhug and the Cerberus were both demonic beasts, so they could understand each other to a certain extent, unlike her.
Days passed, and soon, a month went by, but the Cerberus remained unconscious. His entire body underwent a transformation that shocked the world. A frightening evolution in every sense changed him completely. On all fours, he was already over two meters tall. His entire body was covered in black fur as hard as steel wires, and just looking at him made anyone feel an instinctive fear. If he didn’t have only two heads, anyone who saw him would kneel in despair before a pure and terrifying mystical demonic being.
On that day, the two heads opened their eyes calmly and rose. Soon, the entire cave shook as the two heads collided with the stone ceiling since they grew explosively. Two seconds later, Malieka and Rhug were already inside the room with stunned eyes before the Cerberus.
’Mother, I’m ready to act,’ Bruno spoke mentally to the demoness. ’I sense movement in two distant places; it must be new people being brought.’
Her eyes trembled at the words of her son, who had finally grown up and seemed serious and powerful. And then, after seeing her reaction, they strangely continued.
’I’ll observe things for a bit, and it might take a while to come back. Stay here waiting for me in the meantime.’ Bruno spoke, and then two pills appeared in front of Malieka and Rhug from the void.
They then turned, took steps, and slowly exited the cave. Later, for the first time, a message was sent to the astonished Rhug. ’Take the pill and make her swallow the other one. You’ll know the result quickly, but don’t let her take that poison again, trust me.’
Thus, the Cerberus ran north, leaving the two in front of the cave speechless, each holding a pill.
’Luckily, there was only one Yin pill among the ones we stole, and now it will be useful for those two. They will work hard for a long period; when we come back, we just need to place the soul in the new body.’ Bruno commented.
