Chapter 1968 I Was Wrong

Fleus sighed after hearing that. 'Well, that's true. Let's just say that I wanted to look stronger than if I was alone. Would that be a good enough explanation? It's not like you aren't able to use my resources either.'

Roan nodded in response. 'That's true. As long as you can provide pa.s.sage to us, we won't mind sticking around. Each side is using the other, a very devil-like action. In fact, that makes me feel a lot more a.s.sured than if you said you were doing it for no reason.'

'Hahaha!' Fleus couldn't help but laugh. 'Indeed, no one would believe there's a devil doing such things for no purpose.'

The devil races seemed to be a lot more interested in gathering their forces than checking on every devil making their way back and forth. Thanks to that and the spatial gates in each continent, it wasn't hard to reach the central continent where the Temporal Path was located.

To be more specific, it was located somewhat near the Devil City of Klucis on the Tchikan Continent. Because the Temporal Path messed up with both s.p.a.ce and time, they didn't teleport near it. Instead, they appeared several hundred kilometers away. That's how close Klucis City was to it. For the rest of the journey, they would need to fly.

There, the twins were able to see just how gigantic the link with the Temporal Path was. Even though they were several hundred kilometers away, they could see broken and contorted s.p.a.ce in the distance. They weren't even sure if they could get close to that thing without being torn apart by the Temporal Path's effects.

Of course, since they could see devils arriving nonstop, it was obvious that the path to the Temporal Path was safe. The devils that came from it arrived in hordes of hundreds and sometimes thousands, and all of them seemed to be pretty okay health-wise.

"Let's go." Fleus didn't waste time and quickly went to the city's exit.

The twins followed him, although they could feel many powerful Divine Senses all over the place. They weren't surprised since this was the connection to the Underworld. It would be pretty idiotic to not have strict protection around this place. With that being said, three of the Divine Senses were at the same level as Placake.

Then again, unless someone in the Void Tempering Realm or above was very close to the twins, their natural spatial perception still wouldn't notice them. And there were many devils like that in this place. Eventually, Rean decided to show his concern about this issue to Fleus after discussing it with Roan. 'Can you tell us why our natural spatial perceptions are so affected? Doan and I had been to places where it was able to see much further away. Yet, ever since we arrived in Fraghal City, it would already be great if we could notice someone at the same level or higher unless they were really close.'

Fleus looked at the twins before shrugging his shoulders in response. 'Do you think you're the only ones who want an answer to that? First of all, why would I know that? All that is known is that wherever the devils are present, natural spatial perception is severely affected. Obviously, the Underworld isn't different.'

Suddenly, Rean heard Orklia's words for the first time in the entire journey. 'Senior Fleus, we at least believe that the devils do it to inhibit the other races' spatial perceptions as well. Devils have an easier time hiding in places with a higher concentration of Dark Element, so it would be better for the devils this way.'

'She speaks!' Rean exclaimed through his Divine Sense. Well, he was just joking around. He knew those two devil subordinates could understand and answer the questions. That's why he included them in the conversation many times. 'Why the sudden change?'

Fleus narrowed his eyes and looked back at Orklia. Yet, Zektak quickly covered for her. 'Sorry, Fleus. We won't talk again.'

Rean obviously found it strange. 'Why not? You don't need to prohibit your subordinates from speaking, you know. Their opinions might come in handy, even for devils with much higher cultivation than theirs like us.'

Fleus faintly smiled back at Rean. 'Well then. You're a lot more accepting than normal devils.' He wasn't lying. With how strict the devils were, Fleus expected Rean and Roan to complain that the female devil intervened in their conversation. To blatantly admit that they didn't mind accepting much weaker beings' opinions was quite rare unless they asked for it first. It was normal for weaker devils to stay quiet in front of them.

Rean didn't seem to mind, though. 'There are many types of devils, you know? You can't just a.s.sume that all of them are idiots.'

Fleus wasn't against that thought and nodded in response. 'I'm happy to hear that. We're a lot more similar than I thought. Perhaps your years of training outside the cities helped you learn a lot.'free?e??ovel.?o?

Rean then looked back at Orklia after that. 'Your belief is solid, little girl. Then again, because Fleus seemed to have some 'resources,' I thought perhaps he knew the specific reason as to why natural spatial perception is not working properly. Do you have any other ideas? This question is also for you, Zektak.'

Orklia shook her head in response. 'I do believe I was right about the reason, but I don't know how it works. You could say it's because of the formations that gather Dark Element in the devils' territory in the Realm of G.o.ds. However, that wouldn't explain why the Underworld is the same everywhere. Unless the entire Underworld is under the influence of the same type of formation, I believe there's a more specific mechanism behind it.'

Zektak saw that Fleus didn't seem to mind and agreed with Orklia. 'There are plenty of places in the Underworld that aren't affected by formations, after all.'

Roan finally decided to speak his mind after that. It's just that he didn't talk about the same thing. 'Oh! I thought you were also devils born in the Realm of G.o.ds. But it seems like I was wrong.'
