Years later, Minos and his group were still at Abby's side, with even more undead by their side, but also each of them now had higher cultivations.

In particular, Minos had just mastered yet another territory when he felt his aura reach level 121, getting the breakthrough he had been waiting for years after reuniting with Abby.

Abby had reached level 121 before her husband, while Ruth had recently reached level 120 and Gloria had been at level 119 for some time, near to advancing as well.

The three of them watched him finish absorbing more of the black liquid and develop his own crown, with well over half of his spirit body with the rocky, black appearance common to Devils.

"Looks like we've reached our goal, right?" Gloria asked with an excited look, this being the last step they had planned before their escape attempt.

Abby looked at Minos, already prepared to leave, just waiting for his signal.

Minos looked at the horizon of Hell, seeing through the darkness of Abby's powers, capable of concealing her movements.

Because of Abby's powers, they had managed to travel through these years and complete their 15th year in Hell without any major problems!

The battles of the last few years had helped them all to refine their diabolical abilities. But fortunately they hadn't had to challenge powerful Devils.

"I think Qhava is close to her breakthrough to level 128. She'll probably go into seclusion as soon as she notices my progress, in a few days..." He paused for a moment to think, aware that he would have some time before his escape was noticed by the Hell beings, in particular by his master.

"Let's return. I doubt Qhava will risk herself just for our sake when she can go into seclusion and get closer to the Throne of Hell." He no longer hesitated.

"So, what should we do?" Ruth looked at Abby. "Our bodies were left behind in Qhava's Mirror Dimension."

"Not exactly." Abby corrected her harem sister. "When we entered Hell, we were only able to use our souls' innate characteristics.

Although we say that our innate abilities come from our Physiques, the term in question doesn't mean physical body, but rather the form of the spirit body. As such, innate abilities are related to our souls. But body and soul are kept together in Hell. While the soul remains as free as ever, the body is sealed and forced to regress in form. But our current forms rely on our bodies themselves. It's just not clear in our appearances."

With a calm and confident look, Abby finished. "So we'll have all our powers and physical characteristics when we enter the sub-dimension I'll create. We can then return to Uzira complete."

"That's good. Where are you taking us?" Minos asked.

Abby thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's good to risk our guild post in Uzira. Qhava will surely send her minions the same path that we left Hell... In that case, it might be interesting to go back near the Awakening Peak.

In fact, this will be good for us. We can get close to the Macabre Horde and bring them over to our side."

"That would be interesting." Gloria liked the plan. "But wouldn't there be any danger in that? Don't forget that there are Celestials in Uzira. In particular, Celestials who are members of the cursed royal family of necromancers from that continent."

Abby looked at Minos and recommended, "The dangers will always be there. But the Macabre Horde is a powerful group that can help us deal with Qhava's envoys and even hide from her when she leaves Hell to hunt us down."

Qhava would certainly go after Minos, since he was her subordinate and there was a connection between them. But once she found out that Abby and Minos were together, they all knew she would try to deal with all of them at once.

"Let's do that. We'll probably have Mylecent on our side after we return to the mainland. We don't need to attract too much attention right away, either. Maybe we can put some of our plans into action before impossible problems knock on our door." Minos accepted his first wife's suggestion.

With that said, Abby prepared herself, asking the trio to stay away from her while she manipulated space to create a sub-dimension connected to Hell and their universe, in particular, to Zocarro, on the Awakening Peak, in Uzira.

While Abby acted, Ruth and Gloria stood near Minos, one of them asking him, "How will our situation be from now on?"

"We will be unable to complete our duties regarding the Hell for the time being. Our hellish powers will weaken out there, but our advances, improvements in understanding and some of our current capabilities will serve to ease our paths," Minos said with a smile on his face, remembering how Devdar had advised him to pretend to accept what Qhava had to give him, understanding the advantages of entering Hell.

"Anyway, let's get on with our other plans out there and come back when we're stronger. For now, I'm just worried about our group in Uzira and our family in Oqia. 45 years have passed since we passed the Awakening Peak. A lot could have happened in the meantime!"

While the two thought about Minos' concerns, Abby finished her work and told the three that it was time for them to leave. She wouldn't be able to take those undead or even the guardians she'd gotten in Hell—a shame, she thought. Having Celestials on their side would help a lot.

But even leaving so much power behind, Abby set off with a smile on her face, letting her three partners lead the way and soon past the spatial distortion.

She saw the distortion closing in on Hell, ensuring that no one would reach them that way anytime soon. As soon as she saw her companions ready to proceed, she created another portal, ignoring the dark surroundings of this area she had created based on Hell itself.

Minos, Gloria, and Ruth saw a place they had already passed near the Awakening Peak and felt a sense of accomplishment at finally reaching this point. They moved on, crossing space to return to Zocarro, their bodies changing as they re-entered their universe.
