Chapter 108: You are just a pet

An influx of memories flooded Aya's mind.

In those memories, she saw the whole universe. It wasn't just the entire universe, however. It was the past, present, and future. She saw many possibilities and knowledge that any everyday living being would've died from this much information.

Her eyes reflected the blonde-haired man's face, however.

She faced him properly now that her body turned adequate to her age.

"Long time no see,' he replied with a chuckle, then grasped his chest.

Aya squinted her eyes, "I see no hope for you... You've done well, though... Father."

"Don't call me like that," the man waved his hand with an awkward expression.

He wasn't sealed, unlike Aya, so he spent many years in solitude. That alone wore him down, to say nothing of the seal holding down one of the heavenly beasts.

And now that the memories of her task brimmed in her mind, Aya knew that this man was like a father figure to her. She didn't mind calling him like that despite knowing he wouldn't like it.

Before she disappeared, he asked, "Have you seen such a scenario?"

Aya's eyes turned to the battlefield where Minato and his beloved desperately defended against Cerber's assaults.

She shook her head, "It's easy to twist the future. I have never seen that kind of scenario."

"That's why we must move fast. Before I die, let me talk with His Majesty for the last time," he beseeched nicely.

Aya didn't reply but disappeared from his view at speed much faster than Yuna.

Left alone, the man smiled and closed his eyes. His mind flashed with various images of his journey with young Aya.

Back then, she was truly just four years old, unaware of the schemes of those who ruled the universe. Alas, that small kid couldn't be like any others, and she lived much worse than others, seeing the secrets and cruelty of the universe daily.

He sighed and dropped onto his knees, "His Majesty surely gave you the childhood you've lacked."

-

Cerber's rampage continued.

He sneered at all, including Yuna and Bei. Their expressions told him they had never been this oppressed, and it genuinely pleased his heart. He also took it slower against Minato's beloved, making fun of them.

"If I run with all my might, no one will stop me! Even you, fox woman! Hahaha!" Cerber bellowed in a good mood.

Yuna's punches were the fastest and probably the best method to keep him away from Minato's land. 

That was why she was always in Cerber's eyes.

That changed when the magic circles with unknown writings surrounded him, "This mana's density!"

His whole body drowned in an absurd amount of mana, sealing him again!

His eyes rose, and he looked around, to no avail.

The whole magic circle swarmed his vision, and he lost the sense of his surroundings. Shocked faces of Minato and his beloved also disappeared behind the unknown magic circle's mana!

Outside, Aya appeared in her peak form.

She has changed so much that two ladies didn't recognize her. Only Minato did, and he also wouldn't be able to explain why.

He just stared at a now black-haired woman whose only familiar trait was excessive long hair.

Aya looked behind, smirked at Vulgar Princess, revealing her identity, then shifted her eyes to Yuna.

Fox Wife received a much different gaze, one that left her with many questions.

At last, Aya smiled at Minato with genuine affection.

"Aya... Will there be any consequences of you awakening early?" Minato asked, worried about Aya's future.

She shook her head, "There won't. Such a beast should never be in your world, to begin with, though. My appearance here is justified."

Saying this, Aya retracted her eyes and glared at her own magic circle.

From within, the ferocious flames surged. All heads roared in tandem, letting horrendous howls and flames out of their mouths. Those flames cracked the magic circle, albeit slowly. Having so much leisure, Aya lifted her hand and flicked it, "If you want to show your unsightly appearance, come out."

The magic circle broke.

Cerber's inflamed body stood bare before Minato's family, making them tremble from the sheer pressure.

Only Aya stood with composure, her smile dazzling just like her curves.

"I know you!" Cerber glared with its three heads.

Aya nodded, "And you will die with this knowledge." She tilted her head, smirked, and whispered in a charming voice, "Black hole."

A sucking force conjured itself above Cerber's heads. It was a black hole that sucked all, including Minato's mana and Cerber's body! He desperately clung to the barren land with its paws, to no avail.

As his tail touched the black hole, it immediately disappeared. He no longer had any way out, and the black hole drew him closer and closer!

On the other side, Bei stared at the black magic circle with fear toward Aya, "This is the universe's law, isn't it? No one can summon stars, meteors, worlds... and black holes... And she is not Minato's spirit?"

While Bei stood dazed and scared of Minato's spirit, Cerber thrashed and screamed at Aya, "You are nothing but a mere imitation! An existence born due to-"

"You are just a pet," Aya cut him in, then flicked her fingers for the second time.

Once the second black hole appeared, Cerber's main head disappeared in it. That powerful magic circle drew two other heads even faster than the first black hole, not letting them speak at all.

In less than five minutes, Aya erased Cerber's existence.

From afar, the blonde-haired man used the last drop of his blood to hide this fact from Cerber's Master.

After the silence descended onto Minato's world, Aya sighed and turned her eyes to Bei, "See?"

She put her index finger on her lips, then pulled her lower lip down a little, "I am much sexier than you, Vulgar Princess."

Bei didn't reply, staring at Aya with due respect.

A few seconds later, a lock popped within Aya's mind. Cosmic dust appeared around her body, covering her new clothes and mature curves. She then immediately turned into the childish Aya she usually was.

She dropped onto the ground and slept in the new clothes that were now too big for her.

She snored loudly!

"Sleep well, Aya," Minato took his spirit into his arms, looking at her with thankful eyes.
