Let’s go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack blinked, surprised. \"What? I’m a living being. I won’t be allowed into the Underworld even if you bring me there.

They can’t argue with that,\" Neo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack breathed out slowly, then gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo could indeed create a Death World and summon Nyx there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait,\" Jack said suddenly, just as Neo pulled out his Grim Reaper badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo raised a brow. \"What? Are you nervous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Jack admitted without hesitation. \"I don’t even know what to say to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo opened his mouth, then closed it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t really give advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own situation was no less complicated, and he could tell how confused Jack must be feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a quiet sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just meet her. You’ll know what to say once you see her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo himself had things he wanted to ask Nyx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to ask her about Zeus, and why he had killed the Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was still Barbatos. Neo needed to apologize for what he had done to him in the Voraka Site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Neo pressed the badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A portal bloomed open before them, dark and rippling with shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stepped through together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vast hall stretched before them, ceilings so high they disappeared into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold stone lay underfoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pale light streamed in from nowhere and everywhere at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack glanced around with wide eyes, but there was no fear in his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo noticed that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone who had once been a scaredy cat when he was young, Jack had grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy footsteps echoed across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the low growl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the far side, a massive form emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had three heads, each baring sharp teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cerberus, the guardian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cerberus.\" Jack raised a hand and tried a smile. \"Hey there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three heads turned toward them, sniffing the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t recognize the Grim Reaper standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then its gaze landed on Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its hackles rose. Its muscles tensed. Its presence swelled with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell did you do to Cerberus? It’s like you are his mortal enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He thinks I made Layla cry. He blames me for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I’m sorry about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before either of them could say more, Cerberus lunged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast’s massive form thundered forward, claws gouging the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo didn’t flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s me,\" he called out. \"Don’t you recognize me? We met in the Voraka Site, during The One’s Shadow Trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cerberus didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo raised his voice, and finally added, \"It’s me, Cerberus. Neo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast froze just before its jaws could close around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three heads tilted in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low growl rumbled from its throats, as if asking,You said you weren’t the Second Prince when we met before. And now you say you are?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached into his clothes and pulled out the badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint glow surrounded it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number engraved upon it gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighty-first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grim Reaper badge that belonged to Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My appearance and soul evolved.
