The Goddess of Life looked seriously at Abby and then said. "Are you prepared to receive my inheritance? There will be no turning back once the last test begins."
"Yes, I am." She stated in determination as she felt safe having one of her hands wrapped around Minos' left hand.
Minos watched as the golden statue looked down at them from her superior position. "Very good." She said as she moved one of her hands toward Abby's forehead.
"The third test of my inheritance is a little special. You will receive my inheritance but must fulfill a mission outside of here. If you fail, you will die. If you succeed, you will permanently have these powers and characteristics I will give you."
Minos' eyebrows drew together tightly at that. "What mission is that? We won't accept it if it's something too ridiculous."
She glared at him, but it was not against this young man. She knew Minos had the power to decide things in that blue-haired young woman's life.
"You will have to erase the last traces of the existence of the God of Death from this world. Exterminate everyone who carries his lineage or who has his powers. Erase the techniques and destroy the inheritance he left."
"Did he truly leave an inheritance?" Minos questioned, only to confirm the questioning he had done earlier.
The statue nodded at him. "Yes, he did. I can feel the sickening sensation of him coming from the northeast of this area outside the Secret Tomb."
'That must be Albano...' Minos considered, realizing that the skeleton from earlier really was not just making a wild assumption.
She turned back to Abby. "Anyway, I was that bastard's greatest enemy, so my heiress will continue my crusade until you finish my business with him or die trying."
"In return for that, Abby, I will pass on two techniques to you that, when learned, will give you a fusion that will have 5% of the original power of my innate ability." She smiled. "And don't worry, they are Golden-grade techniques, so you won't have to give up better things that your little boyfriend might be able to give you."
Gulp!
She swallowed her saliva in anticipation since this woman's skill was compelling. "Will I be able to create an army of undead like you did?"
"Hmm, among other things..." She casually replied while making a stance that showed her pride.
"But what I will give you best will be my soul fragment." She said a little louder, already beginning to prepare to be absorbed by her chosen one.
"Oh? Are you going to do that?" Minos' eyes sparkled in joy, as there was only one method known among the great experts of this world in increasing one's talent.
Letting your soul fragments be absorbed by someone else!
That had happened to Minos more than 15 years ago, when Henricus Longus' soul fragment had fused with his soul, becoming a powerful nutrient for it.
That had raised Minos' talent to a higher degree than Golden and left all the essential knowledge of that being to him.
Because of this, he could not help but feel excited to discover that Abby could achieve something similar here.
"Minos?" Abby asked him in doubt, not understanding the situation.
He smiled at her and explained. "Abby, when the soul of a living being comes into direct contact with a soul fragment of someone who has already died, the living side dominates and absorbs the other."
"In doing so, such a person achieves the rare spiritual cleansing of the soul, as well as the nourishment of the soul." He hugged her in happiness. "That means your talent will increase, just as the degree of your Physique would increase after you absorb the energy of a medicine of a certain rank!"
"Hmmm." The statue nodded.
That was ancient knowledge of how to increase one's talent. But, unfortunately, the only way this could work was if the expert behind the fragment had already passed level 90 and sacrificed part of his soul before he died!
Since everyone wanted to live as long as possible and did not like the idea of sacrificing part of themselves, most would not leave behind fragments capable of being absorbed. What they did leave in their inheritance, when they did it in time, was a kind of fragment containing their memories, not their soul.

Because of this, the evolution of an individual's talent was extremely rare, and most people thought such a thing was even impossible.
Upon understanding this, Abby cried joyfully, happy that she could solve one of the problems that troubled her the most.
She knew her talent was far inferior to that of Minos, Ruth, and Gloria. She felt this every time she trained, sometimes having much more difficulty than her harem sisters in understanding her techniques.
At the same time, Abby knew that there would come a day when Minos and those two would continue to advance while she would be forced to stay behind, frozen in time, aging.
That frightened her terribly!
Even though she still had a long time left to experience it, the idea that one day she would die and Minos could still stay in this world for tens of thousands of years haunted her. What would happen in such a situation? He would forget her, she was sure!
The most she could go with her Black talent and all the resources of the Spatial Kingdom was level 89. But that would only give her a little over 12,000 years of life. Minos, on the other hand, Abby was sure he would become a God and eventually stay in this world for over 51,000 years.
The difference was too significant!
So when Abby found out she had a chance to solve this problem, she jumped for joy, forgetting that if she failed, she would die...
After this moment of delight, she looked into the eyes of the statue and thanked it. "Thank you for the opportunity, Goddess of Life. I will do my best to eliminate the remnants of the God of Death!"
"Hmmm." The Goddess nodded as she gestured for Minos to move away from Abby, "I will now pass on my inheritance to you."
"Luckily, your little boyfriend helped you in the first test, and you absorbed much of my soul power left in the enemy bodies. So, that will improve our results now!"
"Oh? So, that's what that thing was for?" Minos questioned in a low voice.
At the same time, the statue of the Goddess of Life left one of her hands above Abby, fully open, slightly distorting the space around Minos' wife. Her other hand then began to disappear as if it were coming apart.
But as this happened, a silver staff emerged from where her arm disappeared and flew towards Abby.
After it lightly sliced across her forehead with its sharp part, the silver staff glowed internally, and its golden gem turned utterly blue.
The Goddess then explained. "This artifact will help you control the fusion of the two techniques you inherit. In addition, it will give you stability and other advantages needed to use such a magical skill."
After saying this, the statue looked at Minos and nodded as if saying goodbye.
"Good luck, Abby. With his help, it may not be hard for you to complete this mission and surpass me one day..."
"Sigh!"
"Unfortunately, I died trying to advance to level 100, failing in my last step." She revealed her biggest defeat. "But maybe you will have a better result."
"I'll be supporting you on the other side..." Her voice trailed off as the entire statue suddenly turned to dust until it disappeared along with the drop in lighting in the surrounding area.
Meanwhile, Abby fell into a meditative state, with a golden cloud glowing in her surroundings.
