After a brief pause, Juvia stood up. âAll of you are dismissed. Be on standby and await my orders.â
The woman in the leather suit asked, âSis, what are you going to do?â
Juvia replied, âAlthough that universe is a mere extension, itâs not as low class when it has that thing
around! That Josef guy possessed something from the Chi universe, so Iâm suspecting that someone
from the Chi universe is supporting him.â
Josef
Alex
âSomeone from the Chi universe? Who could it be?â
âNo matter who it is, heâll only fail. That Cheryl girl is our key to success. I plan on using the Life
Substitution Spirit and force my way through the barrier, then enter Cherylâs body to replace her!â
The Undead Queenâs sister is called Aria. She was very shocked upon hearing this news.
âYou must not, Sister! You only have one Life Substitution Spirit. If anything happens, you will lose it
forever.â
âBesides, itâll take way too much energy to cross barriers to the depths of that Diffracted Universe, then
entering a human body no less! Your soul would be too weak by then, and youâd be helpless when
facing any danger.â
âNo worries, I have observed that woman for quite a while. The environment over there is completely
different from here. Itâs very peaceful. Moreover, that woman has a special relationship with Josef.
Even if I am weak, I wouldnât be in danger.â
Josef
Alex
Aria knew that there was no stopping her sister. More importantly, the incident at Aojo Bay was too
major to ignore. They really did need to speed things up.

When Josef found Cheryl, she was having dinner with her grandparents at that time.

Although there was a lot of spiritual energy within the Yukon dungeon, that was not enough to satiate
their hunger, especially for the elders. They were too old to train now, but they were still strong enough
to live for another hundred years with Josefâs pills and Cherylâs good care.

Seeing Josefâs arrival, Cheryl visibly froze up. She obviously had not expected him here. She knew that
she wasnât noticeable in this place, as she had never been interested in fighting. The woman hadnât
even gotten used to this sudden change in lifestyle. Many other common folks felt the same as well.
Josef
Alex
Their peaceful world instantly turned into an extreme warzone, putting their lives in grave danger. Yet
they couldnât even protect themselves. They were powerless within such battles. Even the
governments they trusted most didnât have the strength to protect the citizens.
It felt as if they were living through the end of the world over and over again. It was a privilege to live
within Yukon, hence many fought to get a place within the sanctuary. It was the safest place in the
world, after all.
âWhy are you here?â Cheryl actually felt a pang of nervousness.
Josef felt even more anxious than her as she questioned, his eyes fixated on her.

James smiled while standing at the side. âOh, you little lovebirds, canât you be a little more modest
around us elders? Donât french kiss now, alright? Your grandmother wonât be able to take it if she sees
that.â
Granny Coney immediately jumped out to object âWho said so? Isnât it normal to kiss? Come on and
kiss, you two! Let him see what true romance looks like! This old man has been old â fashioned his
whole life. I couldnât even get the romance I wanted during my youth because of him!â
Cherylâs face turned red. âGrandmaâ¦â
âOh, what are you being shy for? Iâll say we elders donât even hope for anything else. We just want to
see you both get married and give birth to some children! Thatâll be our last wish!â
âYou know how messy the world is now, so I donât think youâd be able to get married any time soon, so
just go straight into making some babies then! What say you, Josef? Can you grant this old ladyâs
wish? Give me a deadline, will you?â
Josef
Alex
Josef grinned and picked Cheryl up. âGrandma, weâll be doing that right away. I guarantee that youâll
have a grandchild by next year.â
Josef
Alex
After that, he dashed off with Cheryl in his arms.
Granny Coney laughed. âBe careful now, donât trip, okay? Try to make it: double! Itâd be great to have
twins!â
