A psychotic and strange laughter reverberated as Alm and Bruno got up. Then, Alm focused his mind on conveying a clear image of the owner of that laughter ahead to Bruno.
He was a man of ordinary appearance but quite harmonious. He wore red clothes and had a strong death aura characteristic of malignant cultivators. But the main reason for Alm’s shock, and now Bruno’s, was that he looked extremely similar to their own appearance in the previous Universe.
There were a few minor differences, but the aura coming from that man left no shadow of a doubt in them. ’This... what is our brother doing here?!’ Bruno murmured, as shocked as Alm was.
Then, the voice of the young Master resonated. "I thought you would be stronger, but this whale body only serves to reflect weak attacks. A humble ogre dared to stand in front of me? Hahahahah."
’Damn, look at what happened to him! Even that weird laugh now sounds just like you!’ Bruno told Alm, astonished.
Alm retorted. ’Sound like your ass! He has a gigantic ego and is 100% a huge cliche of a young master. Do I act like that? Besides, his personality is completely different from that brother of ours.’
They checked Ruri, who was still clinging to them without a single scratch, and turned to the man ahead, asking, "What’s your name?"
"Huh? If you kneel and beg to serve me, Master Almin might consider accepting you." He replied proudly.

Alm and Bruno fell silent for a while, even more stunned. Alm then commented mentally. ’It can’t be... even the name is the same as our brother. But this personality...’
Their silence was immediately misunderstood by Almin, who laughed even more proudly.
Bruno then muttered, unwilling to believe what was in front of him. ’It’s been 30,000 years since we last saw him... we killed him ourselves along with all life on our planet. There’s no way this can be possible.’
Alm seemed to get irritated with the situation and took steps toward Almin.
Almin felt the approach and raised his chin in a pose of superiority. Then, he suddenly stopped feeling the whale in front, thinking they had withdrawn their Qi from the meridians in submission and knelt near him. Then, he spoke in satisfaction. "I’m an older leader, and I’ll treat you well. It’s not every day I can get an Evil God level of talent under me, after all. Hahaha! From now on, you can call me Master."
Yet...
*CRACK!!*
The world and Almin’s face spun in a complete turn, with the sound of a fist hard as rock colliding with his face. He fell face-first on the ground, and only then did the pain come, making him wriggle and scream like a pig. Alm didn’t hold back with his heavy punch.
His screams were as ridiculous as his pose and cliché young master demeanor. Even Ruri found it strangely amusing and almost laughed at the absurdity. After a few seconds, he staggered to his feet, drawing a saber.
Then Alm’s voice sounded slowly. "I am not controlled and manipulated by anything or anyone. And I will always wash the world with the blood of those who try to put chains on me and manipulate me."
His words immediately made the atmosphere cold to the point of freezing, and an even more extreme reaction came from Almin as his whole body trembled violently. Those were not ordinary words. They were Alm’s last words to the entire homeworld before everything was refined and killed by them.
In the past, immersed in deep hatred, they decided to have no ties and scruples, and they killed their younger brother. Their main barrier in the early years was their family. They had a living mother, father, and brother. But once they realized that none of them showed any grief for the death of his wife and acted as if it was right and normal, everything changed.
Everyone was completely dominated by the rules and laws of the queen. They had no self-criticism or reservations. So Alm decided he wouldn’t have mercy either. It was better to kill them all and free them... Of course, back then, he didn’t know it was the queen’s fault. Instead, he thought it to be an effect of that Universe’s laws.
Back in the present, after a few seconds of observing Almin’s reaction, both were incredulous at the result of that test. Yes, those words they said were a test to check this guy’s identity. Almin got up, still trembling and emanating a deep hatred that seemed to come directly from his soul before he shouted.
"How dare you speak those words... I’ve heard them before, and I swore to become even more demonic than him... you deserve death!"
Alm and Bruno sighed mentally, incredulous, and everything became so clear that it was impossible to deny. ’Heaven’s Will... reincarnated him here with intact memories, just like it did with us coming from Earth before,’ Alm said mentally.
Bruno seemed extremely shaken and spoke a bit tremulously. ’Our brother... he was a simple and honest person. Now, he became someone... evil and psychotic... we were the turning point in his life. To think he would reincarnate just like we did.’
’He thinks he’s demonic? Hahaha, then he’s still the same child as before. But now he seems a bit rebellious. Just needs a good beating to calm him down,’ Alm spoke to Bruno, but it was also for himself. The memories of his younger brother with his past family and wife were their few happy memories. Now, seeing the result of their past actions, Alm was as shaken as Bruno.
Why did Heaven’s Will reincarnate their brother with memories? That was very cruel. But at the same time, it also explained how they ended up on this planet. Perhaps it was all within the Heaven’s Will’s plans.
However, Bruno immediately realized something. ’Wait! If Heaven’s Will did this, then he is no longer being controlled by the queen.’
Alm nodded in agreement. ’At least that’s good news. Well, now we can do something for him. But, this twisted personality of his...’ Alm then smiled. ’We can fix it over time.’
Bruno was surprised to hear Alm saying they could fix it. After all, Bruno expected Alm to say that he liked Almin’s new personality instead. ’Perhaps even Alm can’t accept the change we caused to Almin...’ Bruno thought to himself.
Their mental conversation lasted for five seconds, and at that moment, Almin attacked, emanating all the bloodlust he could. Alm exchanged a message with Ruri and quickly put her on the ground.
Then, a muffled and strange sound reverberated in the air, followed by a gentle breeze. It was Almin’s body spinning uncontrollably like a hurricane for several meters and then falling to the ground.
He got up with shaky knees, stunned and unsure of what happened. Then, the entire right side of his face began to burn deeply, and he understood that he had been struck by a movement that seemed to be beyond comprehension.
It took him a while to process... he took a resounding, imperceptible, and undefendable slap. It’s just that that attack didn’t cause any damage whatsoever.
Alm’s voice echoed while Almin was stunned. "Hehehe! I like you! You’ve got quite some potential as a pet. Come with me and be my vassal."
Almin snapped out of his stupor, and intense fury made his body heat up. "Who the hell is going to follow you? A fat whale and a bastard..."
BOOOM!!!
Before he could finish, Alm sent him flying with a kick, as impossible to feel and defend against as the previous one.
Almin rolled on the ground dozens of times, covered in dirt, and his eyes were almost tearing. Then Alm’s voice echoed again.
"You’re a good pet, aren’t you?"
Ruri stayed silent and tense. She heard in succession several muffled sounds in just a few seconds. From the looks of it, the same scene repeated many, many times... Even she couldn’t understand why her Master had suddenly had a change of heart regarding this man. Then, finally, she heard a trembling murmur.
"Yes... cough, cough... I am... a good pet..."
