Death… And Me

Chapter 3158: A Mortal Planet

Pinod, one of the experts who worked in the palace, was the one to receive that message. ”Hum? From the Main Universe? It is already the fifteenth just this month.”

Another guy in there, a spirit called Indigika, was already used to it. ”The Main Universe pointed out that a new invader had appeared, so they were trying to pin his location. Itʼs not just us. All Universes are being combed for anything that might find where this guy is.”

Pinod nodded. ”Indeed. Should we just ignore it?”

”If we do that and Triaglia finds out about it, our lives will end here,” Indigika said. ”Just send some nobody and get over with it. Where is it the place they want us to check this time?”

”Hum...” Pinod looked into the information. ”A Mortal Planet by the name of Closal. It is quite a close one to the border between the Divine Realm and Mortal Realm. Still a mortal planet, though.”

”Just send some nobody and that should be enough,” Indigika spoke. However, she suddenly remembered something. ”Wait, it is a mortal planet, right? Senior Triaglia requested us to give her descendants some extra work so they donʼt get laid too much just because they are from the same race.”

Then, Indigika smiled. ”Send Rifindio there.”

”Rifindio?” Pinod was taken aback. ”That guy will cause more trouble than bring solutions if we put him in charge of this. He is basically useless with that low concentration bloodline of his. He is still at the transition realm even though he is past 30 years of age. There are plenty of more suited Camazotz Bats available.”

”Exactly,” Indigika knew that. ”Better having this burden wasting someone elseʼs time than causing trouble for us here. Besides, as thin as his bloodline might be, it is still the Camazotz bloodline. For a puny mortal planet, that should be more than enough.”

Pinod couldnʼt help but smile. ”Basically, arrange it so he can stay there for a few decades, right?”

Indigika laughed out loud. ”Hahaha! Arenʼt you a smart guy? Continue like that, and I might arrange for a bonus for you at the end of the year.”

Pinodʼs eyes lit up, quickly turning his attention to the screen in front of him. ”You said it! Donʼt go back on your word.”

Somewhere else in the palace, a Camazotz Bat was alone in a dark space. The space there was artificially expanded due to a formation, making it hundreds of kilometers wide in all directions. The bat stayed still in the middle, barely moving at all.

Suddenly, his mouth opened, and a burst of sound mixed with Divine Energy spread in all directions. That sound was special, as only the Camazotz Bat race could hear it. Due to the addition of Divine Energy, the sound spread at a speed several times faster than normal sound, covering several tens of kilometers in just a few seconds.

That sound struck hundreds of different targets that flew randomly in that dark space, bouncing back to the batʼs ears. The echolocation of the Camazotz bat worked perfectly, showing all the targets in his mind. Usually, Spiritual or Divine Sense would be much better for this kind of job. However, if the enemy was hidden somehow from those senses or even from the eye, the sound would reveal them.

In the next few seconds, several blood spears as hard as metal struck the hundreds of targets. The precision was almost perfect, only missing a few of them.

”Thatʼs enough,” a voice then echoed in that space, and the entire ambient was illuminated.

Hearing that, the Camazotz Bat sighed and changed into his humanoid form. He looked at the targets, feeling disappointed. He didnʼt even need to wait to know what was coming next. Several other figures entered the space, following an old man with some Camazotz Bat features. All of them had similar appearances. The man approached the bat that just attacked the targets, looking at them. In the end, the old man shook his head, finding it hard to even comment. ”Rifindio, you should just give up already. Your echolocation is just terrible, taking forever to reach the targets and bound back to your ears. Any other Camazotz Bat at your level could do it at twice your speed, and those ones are pretty average.”

*Pfftt...*

The other Camazotz bats behind tried to hold their laugh. They are all at Stage Seven or Eight. Yet, they could already do exactly what Rifindio just did, or even better than him. They wouldnʼt have missed a single target. And they werenʼt considered geniuses of the Camazotz Bat race by any means.

Rifindio ignored that, already used to that treatment. ”I understand, senior Elvasto. However, I still must practice and cultivate before I fall too far behind. Otherwise, the resources allocated to me will be reduced even more, and they are pretty much nonexistent at the moment.”

Elvasto, the senior Camazotz Bat there, didnʼt seem to care. ”Thatʼs your problem. In any case, Iʼm stopping your use of the Echo Chamber for today.”

Rifindio was taken aback. ”But I was supposed to have another hour!”

”Enough!” Elvasto, who held a much higher position in the palace, didnʼt want to hear complaints from that failure. ”Just go out and practice by yourself somewhere else. Leave the Echo Chamber for those who can benefit from it.”

”But I paid for it!” Rifindio just couldnʼt let go.

*Zush!*

A spatial ring flew in Rifindioʼs direction. It was one of the younger Camazotz Bats behind who threw it at him. ”Just a few Divine Stones, what is there to care about? If thatʼs what I need to pay for you to get out of here, then so be it.”

Elvasto nodded, satisfied. ”There you go. Not only were you able to use the chamber for a while, but you also got your stones back. Now, leave. I still need to assess these kids here.”

Rifindio gritted his teeth in anger... but then just sighed. Nothing good would come out of this if he insisted on staying. Worst case scenario, he would be beaten and thrown out, and no one would say a single word.

Suddenly, his Communication Device received a message. ”Hum? A mortal planet?”
