Death… And Me

Chapter 3182: Great News

In such a highly advanced cultivation world like the Werdlem Empire, Space Stations werenʼt anything new. Closal Planet, for example, had a total of three of them, the biggest being part of the Inquisition Hall. It also had its own protection formations, and approaching it wouldnʼt be easy.

However, a Space Station detection formation wasnʼt anything as big as a planetary formation like the one around Closal. The only question was what Rifindio wanted to do. ”So, as promised, Kentucky helped you in these last years, and you told us everything you knew in exchange. Now, we are finally back to Closal. You can simply turn ON your Communication Device and have the protection barrier of the planet opened for you, or even ask someone to come and fetch you.”

”This...” Rifindio had almost forgotten about it. Over four years have passed, after all. Still, he was indeed a member of the Supreme Palace... even if he would probably be thrown away now his bloodline had taken a fall.

Kentuckyʼs Blood Drops helped him a lot, but they didnʼt increase Rifindioʼs Camazotz Bloodline Concentration. Their bloodlines were different, after all. What Kentuckyʼs blood did was increase the power of the little bit of bloodline Rifindio had after the events back in the weird Dimensional Realm. On that side, Rifindioʼs Camazotz Bloodline, even if it was almost gone, had a power similar to an Elemental Space Realm Camazotz Bat. Of course, Rifindio would still be trashed by such a Bat since the other part had a huge concentration of it.

So, all in all, Rifindioʼs Bloodlineʼs overall power was now pretty similar to what it was before the cocoon stole it. Probably slightly stronger even. It was more powerful, but he had less of it.

Seeing Rean and Kentucky looking at him, waiting for him to decide to leave, made Rifindio wonder if that was truly the right choice. But then again, even if he didnʼt want to leave, did the twins and Kentucky want him to stay? Rifindio couldnʼt help but sigh, taking out his CD and turning it back ON after all these years. ”I understand. I wonʼt mention you, and I will just say I was teleported far away and that my CD didnʼt work until now or some other excuse like that.”

Rean nodded. ”Thatʼs for the best. Of course, you owe us nothing, so if you want to denounce our return, we canʼt really do much about it. Still, try to at least stay quiet about Kentucky. Telling the Supreme Palace about his existence wonʼt be of much benefit to you since, even if they manage to capture Kentucky, you will never see a single drop of his blood.”

Rifindio hated it, but he knew Rean was right. With his position, there was no way that anyone would give him anything for the information. They would just treat it as Rifindio doing his duty and ignore his existence. At most, his position in the Supreme Palace wonʼt be taken away from him.

Well, it was all an excuse anyway. Truth be told, he got quite close to Kentucky after all this time, and he felt he owed the black and white bird a lot. That was the main reason for him to not say anything. ”Alright, you two go ahead since the Space Station is quite far away. I will wait a few minutes before making the ca- Hum?”

Rifindio looked at his CD... which couldnʼt connect to the Werdlem Empireʼs system. The signal existed, but it simply wasnʼt accepting his Werdlem Stone Energy Signature, which was basically its ID in the network. ”What is happening here? Did it break?”

Rean and Kentucky took a look and noticed the blockage. ”Did you do something to have yourself locked away from the system?”

Rifindio pondered a bit. ”I donʼt think so. I only used it once after we left that weird

Dimensional Realm to check where we were in the Solar System. I didnʼt even access any other information at the time; after that, you asked me to turn it OFF, and I havenʼt turned it ON until now.”

”Check your CD, Rean,” Kentucky asked on the side. ”Perhaps it isnʼt a problem for Rifindio alone.”

Rean nodded. He had a few CDs in the Dimensional Realm registered to different IDs. The Werdlem Empire had no way of knowing that he was the owner of those CDs. He took one of those he has not used much and turned it ON again. It connected without any issues. ”Seems like my own is working just fine.”

”I will leave aside the fact you can even use it,” Rifindio commented. After all, if Rean couldnʼt really copy IDs, how did he make another CD work without its owner present? In any case, he had already given up investigating the twinsʼ group. ”Just why is my own CD not working...?”

”Eh?!” Then, Rean noticed something when he went to check other kinds of information on the Network. ”Oh! How could we have forgotten that? We fell into a Black Hole or something similar to that. Hahaha! I had completely forgotten about the time dilation caused by a Black Hole.”

”Time... dilation?” Rifindio immediately remembered that there were indeed such phenomena near black holes. ”We are in the future! How long has it been since we fell into that black hole?”

Kentucky got curious as well, listening close.

”Lo and behold! Even though we felt like no more than a second or two passage when we were swallowed, over four hundred years have gone by,” Rean showed the information to those two. Inside the Dimensional Realm, Zangeshu, Sister Orb, and Roan heard about it as well.

Rifindio was lost. ”W-What do I do now? Ah! Right! Thatʼs why I was blocked!”

Rean agreed with him. ”No doubt. You were probably considered dead that day, so when your Werdlem Stone Signature tried to connect, the system immediately picked it up and eventually blocked you completely. You will have to talk to the Inquisition Hall and have them report to your Supreme Palace that you are actually alive. Well, it shouldnʼt be a big issue to reinstate yourself.”

Rifindio, however, seemed slightly excited. ”No! Iʼm dead! Hahaha! Great! Iʼm dead to them all. What a great piece of news!”
