Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

"He may have to use the Summoning God Technique then."

"Wait a minute..."

"As an Intern Reaper..."

"Can he also use the Summoning God Technique to summon Hades?"

"Controlling Hell's Hades..."

"A deity equal to the God of Light..."

"Well, theoretically, as an intern reaper, he can try to summon Hades, but it's best not to actually do it."

"When Hades descends... what if he takes a liking to him and takes him away?"

"He didn't think he would be able to refuse Hades' summon."

"Even among deities, there may not be many who can refuse Hades' summon."

"Better not play with fire."

"Of course, if he encounters an unbeatable foe, he'll have to try it no matter what."

"I know. If a senior reaper contacts me, I'll get in touch with you. Anything else? If not, I'm going to..."

"Yes, Garcia has relayed an important message from Little Underworld, saying... the real controller of Little Underworld isn't dead, still alive, possibly in the Human World now, a Black Demon Dragon, looking like this."

Death God Solomon flicked his right hand through the air, and an image of a Black Demon Dragon appeared on the screen.

Upon seeing the Black Demon Dragon, Lance looked closely at it and spoke to Death God Solomon, "Pretty ordinary, I don't see anything special about him."

"Nonsense, if everyone could see what's special about him, then he wouldn't have been able to leave the Abyss. This is his original form, and I reckon he can still transform into human form.

Garcia is still collecting information. It shouldn't be much longer before we see this Black Demon Dragon in human form. I'll send you his portrait then, and if you encounter him, don't engage, just inform me, and I will notify a senior reaper to either hunt him down or try to recruit him."

"Sure, got it."

"Anything else?"

"No, I'll contact you if something comes up."

"Alright."

Lance was about to end the video call.

"Wait."

"What is it?"

"Thank you for the Fruit of Wisdom."

"....."

Lance suppressed the urge to vomit as he ended the video call, feeling uncomfortable with someone who got along well with him saying thank you...

He was not used to it.

After ending the video call, Lance sat in his chair, zoning out for a while, then reverted back to his Dragonborn form and left the bedroom.

"The real controller of Little Underworld..."

He wasn't, he had just told a story in the Abyss once. How could he possibly be the real controller of Little Underworld?

Being set up to take the blame?

In his dreams.

The Dragon Cub had returned. Lance looked at his own Dragon Cub's head; the two horns were still unbroken.

A little point had appeared in the middle part, and it wouldn't be long before true Dragon Horns grew.

Staying at Saint Blue with nothing to do, Lance took the Young Dragon back to Black Dragon Island.

Upon returning to Black Dragon Island, the first thing Lance did was find a feng shui treasure spot to plant the sapling of the Wisdom Divine Tree on the island.

Having planted the sapling of the Wisdom Divine Tree, Lance thought about the roots of the World Tree he had eaten yesterday... somewhat regretted he ate them.

Wouldn't it have been better to take a small piece back to plant on the island?

The roots of the World Tree... if he could cultivate it, it might not be impossible to become the second World Tree.

Even if not planted on the island, planting them within the Domain would also work...

The ultimate form of a Domain is a Kind of World.

If he could plant a World Tree inside the Kind of World, then turning the Kind of World into a big world wasn't an impossible feat.

Lance's gaze settled on the Young Dragon, who was watering the Wisdom Divine Tree sapling; he thought about possibly cultivating a sapling of the World Tree first, to later use for the Dragon Cub.

"This Wisdom Divine Tree sapling will be under your care from now on. Take good care of it, and once it matures, we can eat the Fruits of Wisdom like ordinary fruits."

"Didn't Hammond say that even if the sapling grows, it might not necessarily flower and bear fruit?"

"Only trying will tell."

"Oh."

The Young Dragon stayed silent, focusing on watering the Wisdom Divine Tree sapling.

Every once in a while, he would scratch his head with a dragon claw.

It wasn't dark yet, so before making dinner, he could probably make a few fruit skewers for Dragon Cub.

Lately, Dragon Cub has been very diligent in his training; it's good to keep a balanced approach.

When it's time to train, train.

When it's time to eat, drink, and play, just eat, drink, and play.

It's best to combine training with eating, drinking, and playing.

After watering a sapling of the Tree of Wisdom, Young Dragon went to look for Turtle. His head itchy again, he decided to bump against Turtle's turtle shell.

When he found Turtle, Young Dragon saw that Er Gouzi was also rubbing violently against the turtle shell and occasionally biting his own fur.

Was Er Gouzi growing horns, too?

He didn't care about Er Gouzi anymore. Seeing Turtle, he lowered his head and charged.

By then Turtle had already entered a state between sleeping and waking, lying there like a small hill; the impacts from Er Gouzi and Young Dragon didn't affect its sleep at all.

After about half an hour of bumping and rubbing, Young Dragon finally felt his head wasn't so itchy anymore.

Er Gouzi had stopped rubbing against the itch too, and lay on the beach, both heads panting heavily. That itch almost killed him.

"Brother Gou, are you itchy too?"

"Woof."

"Are you trying to grow horns too?"

"Woof."

"Why couldn't your kind grow horns? There are lots of Primordial Beasts with horns, like the Unicorn Horn Dog, Dragon Dog, and a bunch of other messy dogs with horns on their heads.

You're a Two-Headed Hellhound, so you might grow horns."

Both of Er Gouzi's heads glanced at Young Dragon and ignored him. When they took him to Saint Blue, they called him Brother Gou, but back here, he became Brother Gouzi.

"Woof woof woof woof."

"What? Not trying to grow horns? You're trying to grow a brain instead? No... You've already got two heads; how can you grow another brain? Wait... you're not going to become a real Hell's Cerberus, are you?!!"

Young Dragon's look towards Er Gouzi changed. Two heads meant Er Gouzi wasn't a real Hellhound, but three heads... absolutely a real Hellhound!

Hell's Cerberus!!!

Evil Dragon is an Intern Reaper, and now Evil Dragon's Gouzi is evolving into a real Hell's Cerberus.

Magical...

Er Gouzi's brain growth might be real, as Er Gouzi had also eaten a piece of World Tree root...

My goodness...

A real Hell's Cerberus.

Wouldn't it be like playing to beat those Bronze Young Dragons by then?

"You might really be growing another brain, Brother Gou, and that's great. Once you sprout another brain, you'll be a real Hell's Cerberus. No way, I've got to tell Lance and have him prepare a nutritious meal for you, to help your new brain grow faster!"

No sooner had Young Dragon spoken than he bounced off to find Lance.

Having a Hell's Cerberus as a friend, she could benefit too.

If she could take Brother Gou with her when she turned back into a human, that would be even better.

Then, going to the Farolan Empire, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger. Her sister Asina, seeing Brother Gou with three heads, would probably just hand over the empire to her.

Where is Lance?

In the kitchen.

She smelled sweet things.

Entering the kitchen, Young Dragon saw Lance making candy syrup, with lots of fruits placed around.

"Is this our dinner tonight?"

"Not really, these are sweets for you, fruit skewers. Head not itchy anymore?"

"Yeah yeah yeah, so, Lance, Er Gouzi said he's going to grow a brain. If he grows another head, could he really become a real Hell's Cerberus?"

Lance paused his candy-making, his gaze falling on Young Dragon, "Brother Gou is growing a third head?"

Young Dragon nodded, "That's what Brother Gou said. He also ate World Tree root. Growing another head... sounds about right, given we ate World Tree root, a mythical relic..."

"I forgot about that! Then it's really possible for Brother Gou to become a Hell's Cerberus."

Lance stirred the syrup in the pot, thinking about whether to fetch some meat from a Deep Sea Siren for Brother Gou, to provide a nutritional boost.

If possible, it would be best to get a piece from a Deep Sea Giant Monster; consuming that, Brother Gou's third brain might grow even faster.

Deep Sea Giant Monster...

He knows which sea region houses the Deep Sea Giant Monster, but... better leave it be...

It's better not to provoke those
