After a brief pause, Juvia stood up. “All of you are dismissed. Be on standby and await my orders.”
The woman in the leather suit asked, “Sis, what are you going to do?”
Juvia replied, “Although that universe is a mere extension, it’s not as low class when it has that thing around! That Alex guy possessed something from the Chi universe, so I’m suspecting that someone from the Chi universe is supporting him.”
“Someone from the Chi universe? Who could it be?”
“No matter who it is, he’ll 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 Cheryl’s body to replace her!”
The Undead Queen’s sister is called Aria. She was very shocked upon hearing this news.
“You must not, Sister! You only have one Life Substitution Spirit. If anything happens, you will lose it forever.”
“Besides, it’ll 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 you’d be helpless when facing any danger.”
“No worries, I have observed that woman for quite a while. The environment over there is completely different from here. It’s very peaceful. Moreover, that woman has a special relationship with Alex. Even if I am weak, I wouldn’t be in danger.”
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 Alex 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 Alex’s pills and Cheryl’s good care.
Cheryl’s face turned red. “Grandma…”
“Oh, what are you being shy for? I’ll say we elders don’t even hope for anything else. We just want to see you both get married and give birth to some children! That’ll be our last wish!”
“You know how messy the world is now, so I don’t think you’d be able to get married any time soon, so just go straight into making some babies then! What say you, Alex? Can you grant this old lady’s wish? Give me a deadline, will you?”
Alex grinned and picked Cheryl up. “Grandma, we’ll be doing that right away. I guarantee that you’ll have a grandchild by next year.”
After that, he dashed off with Cheryl in his arms.
Granny Coney laughed. “Be careful now, don’t trip, okay? Try to make it: double! It’d be great to have twins!”
