Alm and Bruno's consciousness returned quietly. Light penetrated their eyes, causing the whale's body to awaken. They found themselves again in the underworld, completely surrounded by a gigantic golden domain. Dozens of demonic beasts, with cultivation at the peak of the divine realm, were around them, closing off all escape routes.
Everything was still frozen in time. The runes covering them began to slowly disappear, and everything returned to normal temporal flow. It took a few seconds, but when everything returned to normal, Alm and Bruno didn't hesitate.
[Do you wish to accept the rewards?]
[Yes / No]
Mentally, they accepted. Then, all the demonic beasts, which had already prepared Qi in their meridians to attack them, stopped. The aura of the whale began to increase rapidly, and consecutive explosive sounds echoed from its body.
Crack! Crack!! Crack!!!
