I was in a garden full of flowers with crystal leaves, each of these flowers had different shapes, but each of these flowers is made of transparent crystal yet possessing the texture of real plants contrary to what is expected of its crystal appearance, its petals emit lights of the colors that these plants represent.

This flower garden was built by me using as a basis my knowledge of all the plants I knew from my previous life and all the plants I have seen since I was reborn in this world.

This is a magical place full of beauty, but also danger since each plant of this guards a different curse so that anyone who invades this garden without permission will not know how he will die, the light mist that floats through the garden with a slightly purple color is a condensation of pure cursed power.

"You have good taste, this garden is wonderful, I'm going to steal your idea to remake the garden in my nightmare world." (Caitlyn)

"Your garden was also very beautiful and seemed much more real than this one, it took me a while to realize I was dreaming." (I)

"After thousands of years I'm tired of the same vision, changing a little can be more pleasant during my dreams." (Caitlyn)

"Shall we go to the pool downtown?" (I)

"Have you warned your Familiar yet?" (Caitlyn)

"Yes, Nix is already coming." (I)

I went with my sister to the center of the garden where there was a large marble pool with crystal plant decorations, not to mention the far back garden and the perpetual night sky in the sky overlooking an Eclipse.

The water in the pool was reddish and crystal clear reflecting the sky, there were also some benches to sit around which was where I waited with my sister until Nix arrived.

After several minutes I see a Dragon flying in the sky, its scales blend with the stars in the sky until it becomes a ray of silver light that lands in front of me already in its Human form.

"I'm here, master." (Nix)

"Then we can begin." (I)

"I'll wait here." (Caitlyn)

"Nix, Souls please." (I)

"Here they are." (Nix)

I walk with Nix until I'm at the edge of the large pool, then ask Haku's Souls and his assistant not to name him.

Soon two very bright spheres appear from within Nix's hands, one of the spheres strangely seemed to have several cracks. "Is that the Soul that was in bed?" (I)

"Yes, if you weren't inside the Dungeon where I collected all the parts, your soul would have split into pieces before disappearing." (Nix)

I take a better look at the two crystals in my hand, even though the light of both is strong, I feel a feeling of weakness in both, both crystals are very transparent as if they are empty.

"Looks like the Saint of Death was right, these souls look awful." (I)

"I must agree, but Haku's entire soul is still a high grade, a Soul with great potential." (Nix)

"Still can't measure the Assistant's Soul?" (I)

"No, it's badly damaged." (Nix)

"That's why you should deliver these Souls to me, my Goddess can save these Souls." (Thalia)

Soon a statue of the Demonic Goddess of Death appears in the center of the Great Pool and next to it was the Saint of Death, this time not a projection but her true body.

"I'm sorry, I still need these two, not just for information, but also because it's hard to find high-quality Souls among my enemies." (I)

"I hope you keep your part of the bargain, when they die again they will be in the hands of my Goddess." (Thalia)

"If they die again they can follow the natural path of things, that's what I promised, I don't know enough about the afterlife to know where these Souls will go." (I)

"They should go to my Goddess where they will be cleansed of everything from their previous lives by erasing the stains on their Souls before they are nurtured to recovery." (Thalia)

"Souls shouldn't disappear easily, each Soul can start thousands of lives throughout its existence, it doesn't need to be marked only by bad or good things." (Thalia) I think you should take a look at

"Seeing a Soul in such bad shape is sad knowing it will reverberate over several lifetimes without proper care." (Thalia)

Her thoughts are not in the "now" but in the next lives of these Souls, treating each Alma thinking only about the future does not seem realistic to me, but being a Saint of Death must be something she thinks about often.

"I've healed Souls in the past, one of my Familiars was in a much worse state than these two when I found her and was still very weak back then compared to now." (I)

"Master, you are an exception to the rule, you know that." (Nix)

"I know about your past, being the son of the Blood Goddess who shares part of the power of death and having an affinity for chaos that causes infinite transformations is what allows you to do these things, but it's not something I think is right since you don't have the ability to understand what you are doing, to act instinctively as you normally do in these situations is the same as playing with Souls." (Thalia)

"I am fully aware that there is a certain recklessness in what I do, which is why I choose to only do this with specially selected enemies." (I)

"It still doesn't make what it does right." (Thalia)

"I never said that I do something right, I just say that I choose people that I don't mind doing something bad, I'm not a hypocrite to say that I'm doing something right." (I)

I'm sure that for her I must look like a child playing assembling a complex machine as if it were a children's puzzle without knowing what I'm doing at each step.

I won't deny that I rely a lot on my instincts when I do these things, but so far it's worked out exactly because I trust my instincts as if I could naturally understand if something was missing or if something was out of place, but I still understand how wrong I am to do things like this, that's why I only chose enemies to do this.

I made a lot of preparation for this and I don't plan to do things wrong this time, after that these 2 Souls will no longer be enemies that I dare to experiment with, they will be companions just like Hades and Hela.

"Forget her and get on with it, I'm starting to get sleepy from waiting." (Caitlyn)

"We still have other things to do, master." (Nix)

"Yes, let's get started." (I)

"..." (Thalia)

The Saint of Death doesn't say anything else, she kneels in front of the statue of the Goddess Kalistos and a black energy begins to envelop the statue, she opens her eyes and extends her hands forward with palms facing upwards, her eyes locked on me and I feel that the Goddess Herself is looking at me now with Her Blessing becoming a stream of energy flowing within my body.

Sigh

"Nix, let's start the process of making these two Dungeon Monsters." (I)

"Yes Master." (Nix)

"< Starting Special Summon function > ×2" (Nix)

It's been a long time since I've done this and unlike the time I created Hela, now I'm spending an absurd amount of DP to do these 2 special summons, I'm using up all the DP I've accumulated since I finished the Dungeon expansion a few months ago.

When Nix starts her eyes glow, her posture changes to become more rigid and her voice becomes emotionless as she speaks, I can feel my connection with her in a different way being much more one-sided with her responding to my will solely.

Soon several magic circles appear, hundreds of them interconnected and layered in a very complex way, unlike before now I can feel the powers of Life, Blood, Death, and Nature in these magic circles, I can even feel my powers of Authority permeating all of them, I feel like I could turn off my Authority power from these magic circles by leaving it outside, but I think it's best to keep it like this for now.

"< Do you want to add an Item to the summon? >" (Nix)

"Yes." (I)

"< Throw the item into the summoning circle >" (Nix)

I remove the things I prepared leaving floating around me which are 2 Hearts of Darkness, 2 Crystals with high concentration of my Holy Power, and 2 Dragon Seals that I made using the power of Zadiris and Navar.

I throw these things at the two sets of magic circles floating above the large pool.

When the items are floating I feel something change in the Summoning circles, I didn't feel it the time before, and I also didn't feel it when I summoned the floor bosses last year while expanding the Dungeon, but I feel that this is following my will if in a way, that's when I noticed what this change was, was that these monsters would be like Hela, would be able to leave the Dungeon like she does.

I hadn't even thought about that detail, taking it for granted, but it seems that the Dungeon responds perfectly to my will, adapting on its own to the details that I overlooked to arrive at the result I have in mind.

Sigh

"(Looks like I haven't thought through everything as thoroughly as I'd hoped, thankfully the Dungeon knows what I want, a real relief.)" (I)
