"Nero, you should not have asked Ashlyn to call you big brother since she is older than you, and Ashlyn also should not have hit you for suggesting that," I said gently as I pacified a wet-eyed cub.

  "She should call me big brother since I could speak like father, and she could not," Nero said while peeking at Ashlyn, who had her eyes closed.

  "She could speak in her own way; you and I could understand her, right? Not to mention she is older than you and more powerful than you," I explained to him. I just wanted to say that it is a very bad idea for him to make Ahlyn call him big brother; she does not like to be forced into anything.

  "You are right father, I should first get stronger than Ashlyn before I force her to call me big brother," Nero said with new hope burning in his eyes.

  Hearing that, I felt my head hurting even more and opened my mouth to explain further but closed after a thought. It is good he has something to work on, and the target is quite good that he will have to work very hard to achieve; it is not easy to defeat Ashlyn.

  Even after the breakthrough, I do not have any confidence in defeating her, and her beating Nero is proof of that. Nero may be cute and cuddly, but he is extremely powerful.

  I lifted him and up and looked around my core; there had been a couple of minor changes that had happened since the last time I had been a few hours ago.

  The most noticeable change in the energy quality, it had increased slightly, and that made the grass off the tiny island even vibrant. Other than that, my armor also appeared in the core; it is floating at the peak of the highest mountain.

  There are also other changes, and one of them is twelve shining seeds that are floating in the air not far from the lake.

  I appeared beside the small green-silver seeds; as I touched one of them, a huge amount of information floated into my mind. It took me more than a minute to get out of the effects of the information rush.

  These twelve seeds are an ambitious experiment of mine; if it became successful, then it will completely change things for me.

  These twelve seeds are the ones that I had used against the twelve Mid-stage Grimm monsters. The function of these seeds is latched on the core and mind of Grimm Monsters and observe all their fighting style, instinctual reactions, soul fluctuation, and everything and also take some energy for themselves when I harvest the Grimm Monsters essence.

  These seeds are part of my 'Super Parasite' plan. I want to make them capable of seeping into powerful enemies that are powerful than me and get control over their minds, Inheritance, and core, making them the perfect slaves of mine.

  Currently, these seeds are far from doing that; now, they could only affect the enemies that are considerably weaker than me and could force them to make a physical attacks that I had programmed in them; they are far from controlling the Inheritance and using the energy and soul type moves.

  The seeds have worked better than I had expected, the algorithm I had designed is processing the formation well, and seeds have also grown stronger while taking the Grimm Essence.

  While they might seem to be working fine, complications could occur at any time; as I had said, they are the experiments, and sometimes experiments fail, and I have to be ready to accept bad results but will try hard to develop them as I envision them.

  I checked each and every seed carefully while also copying the data in the data in a folder; like my Inheritance space, I could also envision anything here but envision things that looked different than real things and core, as I had experimented before could store the real things.

  Those fifteen shiny storages on the ground are proof of that; I will check them later when I have a lot of time. They are going to have lots of stuff, rare and expensive stuff.

  Aside from the seeds, there is one more thing I have to check which is the huge plot of the blackened soil; it looked like the huge amount of lightning had attacked it, one could even sense the faint lighting energies in it, which are slowly disappearing.

  This blackened ground is another of my experiment, but unlike the seeds, I have a lot more confidence in this one and am 90% sure it will succeed.

  The huge plot of land is my domain, 'The Garden of Roses' though currently, it looks more of a barren garden. Soon, there will be roses that will make my domain very strong with so many abilities that it will frustrate the hell of my enemies.

  I have tremendous hope from the Garden of Roses; it will be a killer move with huge applications that is beyond what will be beyond the capabilities of the regular domains.

  There are many other things I have to do at my core, but I do not have time. Though I will soon have the time, I will be able to find the extent of my core's abilities and make maximum use of them.

  After taking one more look, I got out of my core but did not completely go out; there is one more thing I have to look at.

  The moon around my core is still there, releasing the faint light on the core, which is also some sort of energy which I had never come in contact with before but understood this is very high-level energy which I could not comprehend, and it seemed to be strengthening my core very slowly.

  My core is not a simple thing, and very few things like refined bloodline energies could do it…… So, one could imagine the level of the moon; I am also pretty sure that this is the thing that attracted the Grimm Monsters to me.
