Death… And Me

Chapter 3668: Now He Knows

The thousands of experts noticed the lights. But, above all, they also saw how the lights on the chosen’s chests intensified. Only an idiot wouldn’t connect the dots. Futsuka, Galatia, Gamera, and Rifindio were the ones holding the marks!

Everyone could more or less accept the Angel, the Romuteri Clan guy, and the Divine Jade Turtle having their marks. After all, they were all Peak Stage Divinity Realm experts. But Rifindio, on the other hand, was only a Space-Time Realm Initial Stage! How did he get that?

The Camazotz Bats also looked at Rifindio, shocked. But then again, they were the closest ones to Rifindio, so they quickly surrounded him. The Camazotz Bats were another top power, so they served as a kind of protection for Rifindio initially.

Of course, Elder Zick and the others looked at Rifindio... and the twins’ group. ”How the hell did you get the marks? Just who are you all? First the lake, now this.”

Rifindio glanced at the twins, who didn’t seem that concerned. This door had eight images of the eight marks, so it was pretty obvious it would use the marks of the chosen to open or something like that. Would they just flee from the door then? Of course not! They had been waiting for something to happen.

The angel called Galatia wasn’t much better. All the angels looked at him, surprised. ”How did you get the mark? Did you kill Fishel?”

Fishel was the name of the Angel who pretended to die. So, Galatia was actually just an alias, and he was Fishel himself.

Fishel narrowed his eyes. ”I only saw this Fishel you mentioned once, back in the entrance of the Golden Palace. As for the mark I acquired, it is not a mark from an angel. Would any of you have told others that you had it? I was just protecting myself.”

The various angels didn’t totally believe Galatia... or Fishel, to be more specific. They still couldn’t identify Fishel due to the pill he took back then. However, it wasn’t time to interrogate him.

*Claclanglanglanglang...*

Before Rifindio or Fishel answered, the gigantic gate began to open, putting everyone in a dilemma. Should they focus on the chosen now that they know exactly who the chosen are, or should they enter the gate? Perhaps the chosen marks were made for this, just to open the gates, and they might be useless now.

*Tch...*

Someone finally gave up the idea of trying his luck at the chosen, darting into the gate as it continued to open. Various others quickly reacted and followed him. Attacking the chosen in that situation would take time and would be dangerous, so everyone focused on what was inside the giant gate first.

Elder Zick from the Camazotz Bats narrowed his eyes, finally passing the order. ”We are going in! You, weird bat and friends, stay close to us.”

The Camazotz Bats all ran to the gate as well, and Rifindio was forced to follow together with the Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis.

Rean glanced to the side, looking between the gaps of the Camazotz Bats, seeing someone he recognized. ’So Royer and Elsie are here too... They are crazy to be near the Camazotz Bats in such a situation,’ he thought.

’Ignore them!’ Roan’s voice echoed in his group’s minds through Divine Sense. ’Hold tight together. Last thing we need is for some teleportation trap to activate and separate us.’𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Everyone entered the gate area, but no one could see anything. They all just pressed forward, spreading their Divine Senses to try to see what was ahead. But then, just as the last expert from outside traversed the gate, everything changed.

*Zuommm!*

*Bang!*

The enormous gate, which was opening slowly behind them, immediately shut down in an instant! No one would be able to make their way back anymore.

Yet, no one paid attention to the gate. That’s because in front, eight giant altars lit up, four on the right, and four on the left. At the center, a bigger altar stood, dwarfing everything else. Those altars were very similar to the altars found in the room where the Universe Owners gathered. They even had the same marks carved on them. Forge, Stone, Flower, Oil Drop, etc...

*Zush, zush, zush, zush, zush, zush, zush...*

Then, seven spatial distortions happened above the eight smaller altars. From the distortions, seven experts appeared, leaving only the altar with the Forge Carving empty.

”Uh?!” Zick and the other Camazotz Bats were taken aback. ”Isn’t that... what was her name... Rafa, right? One of the lower elders we brought with us this time around. What is she doing up there?”

The Camazotz Bats were completely puzzled. How did she manage to get to this place before them? Even the twins’ group hadn’t entered the gate. Could it be that there was another crack on the ceiling, and she used it like the twins did outside?

Rafa didn’t answer their questions. She didn’t need to.

*Tud, tud, tud, tud, tud, tud...*

Not far from the Camazotz Bats, all the experts of the Romuteri Clan kneeled down, looking at the altar with the Star Carving on it. ”We pay respect to Ancestor Fortune!”

Not far from them, the Demon Beasts who were part of the Mouth of the Beast Organization showed reverence towards the altar with a Gear Image Carving. ”Senior Larfei...”

Similar interactions could be seen around. Of the seven experts who appeared on the altars, four of them had been recognized by the experts of their Universes. Or, to be more specific, they were recognized by a few experts who were part of the top powers of their own Universes. The others were simply told through Divine Sense about the identities.

If Elder Zick hadn’t noticed before, now he definitely did. He quickly got down, his forehead touching the ground. The rest of the Camazotz Bats followed suit, even though they were confused about this situation. ”We Pay Respects to our Universe Owner Triaglia.”

Rafa? What Rafa? There was no doubt. Rafa was actually Triaglia, their own Universe Owner and their only Celestial Realm Expert!

”Wasn’t she the elder you mentioned to be the only one you respected, that properly trained you but was extremely, extremely strict, and all that shit?” Rean asked Rifindio on the side.

Rifindio, who actually didn’t kneel due to his shock, nodded absentmindedly.

”The Library Spirit was right! You were her plaything!” Kentucky let it escape, making the expressions of everyone around turn weird.
