Death… And Me

Chapter 2689  Negotiations

The twins werenʼt idiots. For the Vruves, the best option would definitely be to get rid of the twins so that they would be the only ones with access to such technology. They would need to be careful in the future.

”Great!” Kafan nodded, satisfied. ”Then we will be waiting for your good news. Now, we need to address the other issue before we attempt to enter the tower. The problem is... experts from outside the Universe already arrived, so what is happening outside? Is it really okay to stay here, or should we return instead?”

Indeed, that was a big problem. They came here to get stronger... and most of the weaker experts were indeed benefitting greatly from this Wonderland. Many of them used the Chaos Laws to speed up their comprehension, and pretty much all of them who were stuck in their comprehension had now broken through. At the moment, most of the experts in this place were using the Chaos Laws and Energy for two things. One of them was obviously Chaos Cultivation so that they would have more power in this world. The other one was to further increase their comprehension towards their affinity laws to go beyond their cultivation level. That way, once they leave this place, all they will need to have more breakthroughs is to absorb enough Divine Origin Energy. The necessary comprehension will already be there.

Should they continue to attack the Wonder Beasts and enter the tower, or should they immediately go back to see if an invasion has started already? But then again, going back now as they are instead of using this opportunity to increase their strength would make things more difficult when fighting experts with those weird armors.

”Letʼs continue,” Himmel, the Regal Phoenix Semi-Celestial, suddenly said. ”Regardless of how impressive the outsiders are, conquering an Universe is easier said than done. It will take a very, very long time for them to take a foothold, and thatʼs if they have really arrived at all.”

”What do you mean?” Black Locust got confused. ”Didnʼt you see they were already here?”

Sansara understood Himmel, though. ”Itʼs not that. When you decide to attack someplace, what do you do first?”

Roan continued. ”Obviously, you send your scouts. If possible, you try to sabotage the enemy before the main army even arrives.”

”Exactly,” Himmel nodded, satisfied. ”Chances are those three we just saw are nothing but some scouts, and their presence here was indeed an attempt to sabotage us. After all, it is not a big secret we came to this place to increase our strength to fight against them. There is a very good chance the bulk of their army hasnʼt arrived yet. Even if it has, as I mentioned, you canʼt conquer an entire Universe in just a few months. That is rediculous, not to mention we left a few Semi-Celestials back in the Universe. They will definitely fight back if necessary.”

”Very well,” Gragatou found Himmelʼs words reliable. ”Letʼs aim for the tower. As for the armor...” Gragatou looked at Rean. ”Even if you tamper with it, I donʼt think you would use it against us as long as we donʼt turn against you either. I saw the power of this armor of yours, so I will want one to use against the visitors from outside.”

Rean was happy to comply. ”No problem. But I will need the materials to craft them, and believe me, they are fucking expensive.”

”Hahahaha!” Gragatou laughed. ”Iʼm a Semi-Celestial. If I canʼt gather the necessary resources, then no one can. Donʼt worry, just give me the list, and Iʼll get the materials to you.”

”Me too!” Sophia knew about the relationship between the twins and Waremis. After all, Waremis was inside her Pocket Dimensional Realm. That served as a little backup. ”Just give me the list.”

Rean narrowed his eyes, though. ”Senior Sophia, you are an Angel Beast. My armors were made for humanoid races, so I donʼt know if I can make one for someone like you.”

Rean then pointed at Kentucky and Celis. ”You can even check my two friends here. They arenʼt wearing anything exactly because I canʼt make one for them. I would need to research it, and that will take time.”

The humanoid Semi-Celesitals heard that and quickly approached Rean. ”Then you can make ours first.”

Black Locust also joined. ”Kid, Iʼm not exactly from the humanoid races, but I do have a similar shape. Would that be a problem?”

Rean pondered a bit. ”Shouldnʼt be. As you all know, once converted, Heavenly Energy, Divine Energy, or Devilish Energy all become normal Origin Energy, and my armor works with Origin Energy, not the three lower variations. As long as your shape isnʼt much different, I think it will be fine.”

Rean didnʼt care that he was a Devil. At the moment, it didnʼt matter which realm you came from. They had to unite against a probably much stronger enemy.

Xude and Bracius didnʼt care. Even if they wanted to help, they would need the organizationʼs approval, which they were well aware it wouldnʼt happen. The secrets of the Vruve Organization couldnʼt be revealed regardless of the reason. Thatʼs how they operated since the Extinction Sphereʼs event.

”Alright, hereʼs the list.” Rean then used his Divine Sense to engrave several jade slips, passing it all to those interested. ”Get me these things, and I should be able to make the armors for you all. But I wonʼt lie to any of you. I will leave a little gift behind in them. If any of you turn against me or my friends, you better not be wearing one.”

Everyoneʼs expression turned dark.

However, Roan snorted in response. ”What with the looks? Are any of you saying that you would never do such a thing?”

The dark expressions turned even worse... but they all looked away. They would? Ridiculous! They absolutely would have done the very same thing or even worse!

”Alright, I guess we are settled then.” Kafan turned in the towerʼs direction. ”With no more risks of being attacked, letʼs finish the rest of the Wonder Beasts and enter the tower.”
