Death… And Me

Chapter 2859: Repair

Rean gritted his teeth. ”I still prefer-”

”Rean!”

*Pah!*

However, Rean suddenly received a slap on the back of his head. When he turned around, he saw Turen there. ”We win some, we lose some. That is life. We have a real chance of saving the Universe and getting ready to fight Garisan. And yet, you want to risk everyoneʼs lives because of your sense of justice.”

”But...” Rean didnʼt want it.

Everyone understood Rean, but that truly wasnʼt the time to risk things.

”Ahem...” Suddenly, Kentucky called everyoneʼs attention. ”Hyeoumu can defend the Realm of Gods, canʼt he? Well... The Semi-Celestials canʼt protect the entire Universe against the collapse of space and time, but canʼt they help move everyone to Hyeoumuʼs back? I mean... It is not like the Realm of Gods lack space.”

”It isnʼt a bad idea,” Soul Gem said with a smile. ”There is only a tiny problem.”

Soul Gem looked in the direction of the living beings going back to the planet in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. ”There are way too many living beings in the Universe. Even if we could manage to bring everyone to Hyeoumuʼs back, that would be a process that would take thousands of years. We donʼt have that time. Garisanʼs next attack will come in the next few years for sure. We need to join both sides before that happens to increase the protection of our Chaos Origin Source.”

”Sister Orb, do we know how many Destiny Points we need to resist the Universe Restraints during the merging?”

[No,] Sister Orb immediately answered. [Not even the system could possibly calculate something like this. If you follow my plan and use the Destiny Points to reduce the power of the collapse of space and time, you might not have enough Destiny Points to survive the process. And when that happens, we are all screwed for sure.]

”Let it go, Rean,” Roan spoke seriously. ”There is only so much we can do. We are not gods.” Rean sighed in the end and nodded, even though it was hard to accept. ”Fine... However! I want to at least warn all the living beings in our Universe regarding it.”

”Canʼt do either,” Roan once again intervened. ”You are well aware the Vruves donʼt want it to happen. If we warn everyone ahead of time, it will give them the chance to act and potentially ruin our plans. Once again, if that happens, we are all fucked.”

Turen and the others nodded. Everyone would be confused when the merge started, and that was the best scenario to guarantee the twins wouldnʼt be stopped.

Rean felt even more helpless. ”This is such bullshit...” He was being forced to simply accept all the deaths their plan would cause.

Seeing Reanʼs condition, Roan didnʼt want to waste more time. The last thing he needed was for Rean to step back now. ”Since we have an agreement, letʼs start it straight away.”

”Iʼll bring we all to the border between both sides.” Kafan volunteered himself. ”Romario, can you bring Rean to the other side and protect him there? I want to stay on this side and protect Roan here. You most likely wonʼt find anyone to stop you there, so you alone should be fine. I will warn my Death Spirits to keep an eye open on the other side as well, just in case.ʼ

”Leave it to me.” Romario would follow Rean even if Kafan hadnʼt asked it.

With Kafan opening the Spatial Gates, it didnʼt take long for them to return to the border between the two sides. Naturally, no one knew they were there. Romario knew how to cross the barrier separating the sides, so he opened a tunnel and brought Rean with him.

[Okay, Rean, Roan, you are out of range, so you will have to pass your messages through me. I will let the messages pass directly so you will hear each other as always.]

Romario glanced at Rean after they came to the other side. The expression on Reanʼs face was quite terrible.

”It is fine, son,” Romario smiled at him. ”The Universe will recover. Donʼt forget, there was a time when not a single living being existed in this Universe.”

”Yes, Dad...” Rean smiled a little as well, although it was obviously forced.

On the other side, a Spatial Gate appeared where Kafan and Roan were standing before Gragatou and Huban came out. ”Why did you call us?”

”Help me keep Roan here protected, will you?” Kafan asked with a solemn expression.

”Protect him?” Naturally, Huban and Gragatou got confused. They looked around but couldnʼt see anything with their Divine Senses or Natural Spatial Perception. ”What are you talking about?”

”You will see...” Kafan didnʼt elaborate, but he quite trusted those two. Thatʼs why he called them.

[How is it? If you want to start, you just need to give me a signal. I will start the integration here.]

ʼDonʼt you need to be close to the Universe Foundation Pillar?ʼ Roan asked for a moment. [What are you talking about?] Sister Orb asked back. [We are in the division between both sides of the Universe. The Universe Foundation Pillar is already quite close. This place is perfect.]

ʼI see...ʼ Roan didnʼt ask again.

ʼJust start it already,ʼ Rean requested from the other side.

Sister Orb accepted their order and initiated the process. Kentucky had already taken everyone into his own Pocket-Dimensional Realm and was outside with Roan and Celis. With that, she didnʼt have to worry about the changes of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm anymore.

*Pin!*

[Reparation of the Universe Foundation Pillar Initiated.]

The entire Soul Gem Dimensional Realm shined together with the Integration Pillar.

*Brummmm...*

Suddenly, Kafan and the others saw something. A massive crack in space appeared right inside the barrier between the two sides of the Universe. Following that, the Integration Pillar and the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm became visible.

”What the hell is that?” Gragatou asked, feeling terrified by the energy contained inside.

Huban looked at Kafan, who was equally surprised. ”Kafan, what is this all about?”

Kafan glanced at Roan, who had gritted his teeth, seeming to be in great pain. ”Did you forget what Soul Gem and I went to the Underworld for? We are repairing the Foundation Pillar. It is time for both sides of the Universe to get back together.”
