Death… And Me

Chapter 3186: How Did That Happen?

”Four and a half years...” Rean, Kentucky, and Rifindio looked at each other. That was when they were thrown out of the Black Hole.

Karev continued. -Since then, the Inquisition Hall has demanded that all Transition Realm experts, regardless of whether they intend to participate in the contest or not, were to report their status. Those who were leaders of their own powers or had any important position also had to report everything about their forces.-

”Is this something weird?” Kentucky didnʼt see the problem there. The Inquisition Hall definitely had that power.

Rean was the one to answer, though. ”Kentucky, everyone has the normal Werdlem Stones. Those Werdlem Stones are connected to the Werdlem Empire System every time they use their Communication Devices. Why would the Inquisition Hall ask for such information? They can check everything in the Werdlem System on this planet.”

-Exactly, - Karev agreed with Rean. -The Inquisition Hall, as far as Iʼm aware, should have access to this kind of information in the Werdlem System. Of course, Iʼm not on the edge just because of that.-

Kaev Continued. -The weird part is that the Inquisition Hall began to recruit quite a lot of experts of all levels recently. Just like my brother, they lose their free will. I captured a random weak member of their group and read his memory, but it was impossible. The moment I tried, the guyʼs head just exploded. It wasnʼt a very good sight.-

-Last but not least, thousands of different formations are being constructed around the planet. According to the information in the Werdlem System, these formations will be used in the next Werdlem Divine Stone Contest.-

*Zush!*

Immediately, Zangeshu appeared. ”You donʼt really believe it, right?”

-Uh? Whoʼs the kid there?-

Rean patted Zangeshuʼs head. ”Heʼs my little disciple. He is cute, donʼt you think?”

Zangeshuʼs elbow immediately flashed against Reanʼs chestʼs direction, using even Lightning Element to make the strike as fast as possible.

*Grab!*

Too bad Rean easily stopped him with his other hand. ”Too bad he is also shy, see? Dad doesnʼt know what he will do when the day comes for him to find himself a wife.”

”Fuck you!” Zangeshu almost exploded. ”Who the hell is my dad? Just die already. No, first pass me all your knowledge of formations, then you can die.”

”Hahaha!” Rean laughed even more but stopped teasing the kid. ”Alright, alright. Karev, please continue.”

Karev didnʼt know what to say, but that wasnʼt his problem either, so he decided to ignore those antics. -Errr... right... Anyway, I truly donʼt believe those formations will be used for the next contest at all. We had a contest every thousand years, and never there was a need for so many resources to be used. Each of those formations is absolutely ridiculously enormous, spanning hundreds of kilometers.-

Zangeshu ignored Rean and took out his device again, the same one he used to find the Spatial Signatures of the Teleport Formations in Closal.

*Bzzzz...*

*Pac!*

Yet, as soon as he turned it ON, the thing overloaded, its circuitry runes burning right before the sound of something bursting inside could be heard. ”Holy mommy...” Zangeshu was surprised to see that.

Rean narrowed his eyes. ”The Space Power on the surroundings is flowing like crazy...”

”Is such a thing even possible?” Zangeshu couldnʼt help but wonder.

Kentucky answered that. ”Oh, not a problem at all. Were I at my peak, I could make this planet disappear with my control over Space Power alone. Forget about just increasing the flow of Space Power.”

Zangeshu and Rifindio knew that Kentucky was a the Divinity Realm before, so it wasnʼt hard to imagine that. Well, maybe for Zangeshu, who had never seen anyone above the Transition Realm.

Rean shook his head. ”Thatʼs not the point here. It is meaningless to think about the time we were stronger. Instead, you have to understand that this kind of flow is truly powerful for something being done in the Mortal Realm.” Rean turned back to his CD. ”In fact, with such a flow, I wouldnʼt be surprised if some Spatial Rifts appeared.”

-Exactly as you said, - Karev confirmed Reanʼs words. -There have been reports of Spatial Rifts and Cracks in Space that have been appearing all over the planet. There arenʼt many, and they usually only last a few seconds at most. However, those unlucky enough to be close at those times didnʼt have a good ending. There were even a few that didnʼt close at first, and the Inquisition Hall had to intervene to eliminate them. Well, they suppressed all information regarding these problems. I only know about them because I still have my own contacts.-

ʼCheck the other planets,ʼ Roanʼs voice echoed in Reanʼs mind.

Rean, in fact, had thought the same. -Karev, any information about the other planets in the Solar System doing similar preparations?-

-This... Iʼm not sure. I could check if you want. Can you give me an hour?- Karev felt like this was an important piece of information, so he decided to help.

Rean nodded and ended the call. He sat on the roomʼs bed while Rifindio and the others waited.

Rifindio was by far the one who seemed the least interested. He wanted to leave already and cultivate or train with Kentucky. Zangeshu cared more about what those formations would be used for than what they could cause to this planet. As for Kentucky... he will probably fall

asleep soon.

Without anything better to do, Rean used his CD to check the information regarding the next Divine Werdlem Stone Contest. Everyone around the planet seemed quite excited about it, so there was a lot of information in the Werdlem Network of the planet. ”Hum?”

It was then that he saw someone he didnʼt expect in the news.

-Inquisitor Foliana Nasfivil, AKA Red Calamity, is expected to join the judging board during the next Divine Werdlem Stone Contest. Folianaʼs ascension in the Inquisition Hall was meteoric, her cultivation quickly catching up to the various leaders of the Inquisition Hall of Closal Planet. She is one of the must trusted subordinates of the Inquisition Hall now. Some even say she might one day take the reins of the Inquisition Hall of Closal Planet before ultimately ascending at the end of her mandate.-

Rean narrowed his eyes. There were many pictures and recordings of Foliana, so there was no doubt. ʼFoliana in the Inquisition Hall? How did that happen?ʼ
