A Valkyrie and a Fallen Angel were confronting Cerberus while an Ancient Human under the protection of the demon was looking for the weakness of the Area Boss.
Chu Mo complained, "Have you found its weakness already!?"
"Not yet! A little bit more. The information I'm seeing is still lacking." responded An Yuan. "Please give me a few more times."
"We can block him for another 15 minutes," replied Lan She as he agreed without questioning An Yuan.
Han Ya felt worried seeing An Yuan covered in a cold sweat. The difference in level between a newbie player like An Yuan and an Area Boss like Cerberus is quite big. He wasn't like the other two players in front of them.
Lan, She might look nonchalant and calm but those eyes that keep watching every single movement of Cerberus are enough for him to predict which direction the attacks would come from. His observation skills are topnotch and even though he is lacking in a bit of strength his speed is flawless and his predictions were accurate. It was enough to say he is a good strategist. One who moves the most in the shadow.
On the other hand, Chu Mo is the complete opposite of Lan She. He had enough strength to wrestle with the huge monster but his priorities are different. He keeps the monster away from us and at the same time protects his lover from harm. He would fill up the missing strength Lan She lacks at the same time support him as his pillar and shield who would never allow anything fatal to harm his beloved.
These two were so experienced in fighting but for some reason, they are holding back too much of their capabilities. He knows that Chu Mo is hiding his strength when he sees him fighting with two heads of the three-headed beast while keeping an eye on the last Lan She is confronting. It's just Han Ya couldn't understand why these two are holding back their strengths.
Han Ya's eyes turned serious and he continued to observe the two players before him. Though it was planned that he is supposed to block one of the heads he chooses not to and focuses on protecting An Yuan instead. He knew these actions of his would incur rage from the other players but after being schemed by Uncle Sid and his team, it made it hard for Han Ya to trust other players except for An Yuan.
As for Hei Anjing and his lover, those two had few loose screws and were too proud to scheme against the others. They are the type that would kill one if they wanted to and would save one if they feel like it. Their actions are based more on their moods and whims. They can be playful if they feel like it and would only get serious at things that might involve things that are extremely precious for them. As for the rest of the things, they have a devil may care attitude most of the time.

An Yuan finally found the weakness of Cerberus.
"Found it! That monster only has one brain and three hearts. His heart moves all over his body in different directions, his brain would also move from one head to another as if it teleports from head to head. There are space ripples inside their heads whenever the brain would be transferred.
The problem is. The brain is connected to the three hearts. If a heart was pierced it would emit brain waves to accelerate cell production which would instantly regenerate the destroyed heart. If the brain was destroyed instead. The monster would fall into a berserk state entering… Force God state mode and the strength of the monster would increase a thousand folds." explained An Yuan.
Chu Mo said, "A thousandfold? Isn't that a living God then!?"
Meanwhile, his real thoughts are: 'If it is an ordinary God State there is no problem for me and Ming'er as we could kill one at any time. The problem is the Heavenly Laws of this world. To kill a God, we need to use Divine Energy. If we do so without the permission of Lord Hei, the Heavenly Laws of this world would eliminate us as an outsider.'
Thinking of such a situation, Chu Mo knew his lover had the same thoughts. He looked back and looked at Lan She and could only helplessly sigh when he saw him shaking his head. This indicates that Lan She is not in agreement with using their Divinity to kill the guardian of hell before them.
On the other hand, he who heard the words spoken by Chu Mo, responded this way. "Yes, we are all gonna die if it falls in a berserk state," said An Yuan. "What should we do?"
Han Ya who was keeping himself quiet all this time. Finally, I spoke up.
"There is a way but… the only one who could do it is… You, A'Yuan" said Han Ya.
An Yuan pointed at himself and said, "Me? What can I do?"
Han Ya didn't answer right away but instead, look at Chu Mo and Lan She.
"Player Lan, I will take over your position after 10 minutes. Afterward, please protect A'Yuan for me" said Han Ya.
"Sure," replied Lan She.
Chu Mo asked, "How about me? I can't rest?"
"Not yet. Bear with it for a bit more" said Han Ya.
"This brat… Fine! As long as my honey can rest!" said Chu Mo.
Receiving permission from the two, Han Ya brought An Yuan down from the sky. They went to the nearest mountain where they could clearly see the fight ongoing. Han Ya restarted their conversation.
"A'Yuan, you can clearly see where the hearts and the brains are right?" asked Han Ya.
Reluctantly, An Yuan replies, "Well… Yes. Because of my Bloodline as an Ancient Human."
"Your special skill is 'Learning'. If we give you a skill book for Magic Archery can you do it?" said Han Ya.
"P-Possible but… We don't have enough… gold coins…"
Han Ya flinched when he heard the words Gold Coins. He had lent their group's gold coins to those imbeciles and that was because of his foolishness.
"I… I'm sorry for that… The other beasts in this layer were killed by me and Player Reaper. I've gotten enough gold coins to buy you some skills." said Han Ya.
Manager Tian spoke, [I've bought it. Beginner to Master Level Magic Archery Skill books. Please read it as soon as possible with your bloodline. You should be able to master it in the shortest time.]
[Don't worry. I'm by your side. You can ask me anything that confuses you] said Manager Gui completely supportive of his player to gain new skills.
An Yuan's eyes were still full of hesitation.
"Xiao Ya, It's dangerous. Can I really do it?" asked An Yuan.
Han Ya gently held his hand and placed his fingers in between An Yuan's fingers and bumped their heads.
"You can do it. I believe you can. Take your time that beast cannot kill us. Don't worry." said Han Ya.
With his cheeks tinted with a pink flush, An Yuan smiled and said, "Since you believe me that much then I will do my best, Xiao Ya."
Han Ya flew away once Lan She took his place in protecting An Yuan. He nods his head towards Lan She before flying towards the Cerberus with his spear. He and Chu Mo these two battle maniacs were now wildly fighting against the Area Boss. Though they couldn't kill it as it can only be killed in a unique way, these two fought against the beast as if torturing it. They were both merciless as they launched their spears towards the monster. The sounds of clashes and monster howls echo within the forest.
An Yuan watches those explosions with a worried expression. Lan She wasn't worried at all. He knew that even if his liver could use his real strength to fight the monster, he wouldn't be killed by a mere demon dog.
Lan She comforted, "They would be okay? You should focus on increasing your strength as you are the only one who could kill that thing."
There's a knot between An Yuan's eyebrows as his eyes alternate from the skill books in his hands to the distant forest where the fight is ongoing.
An Yuan spoke, "Can I really do it? I mean my bloodline is only a rare grade while all three of you have divine grade bloodlines. I am too weak."
"… You are not weak. If you are indeed weak do you think that Lord Hei would waste his alternation on you? He might be eccentric and playful most of the time but… He is the type to hate wasting time the most. If you are weak he would have considered you boring and just killed you on the spot the first time you've met." said Lan She forgetting that he is supposed to be someone who has no connection to Hei Anjing at this moment.
An Yuan was a bit confused when he heard what the doctor before him had said, "You… Do you know Sir Hei? But how? He is a newbie and you are a veteran."
"I, my lover, Lord Hei, and his husband, knew each other in reality. It's just that my lover and his husband entered this world first, me second, and him last. We didn't know how that happened but it must be because we didn't enter together." explained Lan She.
"You didn't die together?" asked An Yuan as he knew that those who died at the same time can enter the Abyssal World together.
"No. Forget about us for now and focus on your skills first. Even though those two would be okay, they can still get tired," said Lan She.
An Yuan sat on the ground and started flipping the books in his hands. His reading speed was normal at first but its speed increased as his bloodline fully activated. His Ancient Human Bloodline allows him to comprehend the contents of the skills books faster. It normally takes days for a player to master a spell. But those who are talented can take hours to complete it.
But An Yuan is even faster, with the help of his bloodline he was able to understand Magic Archery in just half an hour. Lan She who was observing him on the side was a bit startled by his speed of comprehension. He knew a person who is even more skillful than An Yuan. That person is also an Ancient Human. He is someone who was born in the lower realm.
Cao Xinsheng, the God of Reincarnation and the second disciple of the Ruler God Mo Baojun. He is someone that Ruler God Mo had brought up to Vearth. Someone who used to be the weakest existence, a mortal with no hints of divinity but under the teaching of the Ruler God, he was able to reach ascension even faster than his Senior Brother, the Sorcerer God.
He knew the reason why this God of Reincarnation was able to reach ascension faster than the other cultivator in his world. It was because of his bloodline as an Ancient Human and at the same time his unparalleled intelligence that even Sovereign Mo had praised. Because of his talents, he was able to reign the God System as the Lord God.
His position is the same as Lord God Ye Xiajie of the Nether System. But unlike Lord God Ye who controls the stars and universe under his control with peerless strength, Cao Xinsheng controls the worlds and universe within the God System with calculations. He would predict all possible scenarios in his mind.
Even if an unexpected element entered into the equation, he would still be able to take over the controls. It was because of this frighteningly intelligent Lord God exists, that the Ye Gui Race was unable to stay longer in the worlds under his control and they could only enter it in an illegal way.
Lan She's expressions turned dark at these thoughts. Ever since Lord Hei lightens the seals in his soul, his sealed memories slowly return. Though he no longer had any other special thoughts towards Cao Xinsheng, he still could deny that man's capabilities.
He who blocks all diversities against his master, Sovereign Mo. Someone who had led and controlled the God System and all Gods and Immortals that entered that place. Even the Divine Artifact, the Book of Life and Death, that is supposed to be under the care of Sovereign Mo was given for him to use.
This made him, a prisoner who was supposed to have forgotten about his past to yearn for it. But deep inside his heart, he knew that he could never have what he wanted.
Lan She's thoughts, 'I wonder if that stupid fool had finally gotten his dream vacation.. If not then I can laugh at him as much as I wanted with Wuye when we get back to Nether.'
