Death… And Me Chapter 2895: Welcome

Chapter 2895: Welcome

After some time, Roan had things to add. 'We are obviously not babies, but we aren't adults either. At least not from the point of view of a human. From what I can feel, I would say we are around twelve years or something like that. Besides...'

Rean nodded. 'Even if we are inside of a womb, we aren't sharing the same one. I can feel you close to me, but you are a few meters away. And the s.p.a.ce I'm confined within definitely doesn't have s.p.a.ce for another one.'

The twins continued to talk and tried several methods to get free, but nothing seemed to be of use. One thing was certain, they were just mortals at the moment. Forget about cultivation; they didn't even have the reinforced body of a person who is born in the Realm of G.o.ds. They were as common as one can get.

'The system seems completely offline...' Naturally, they tried to access the Control Orb's features, like the Upgrade List, Authority List, Side and Main Quests' History, and things like that. However, the Control Orb, which has always been s.h.i.+ning with White and Dark colors, was completely gray and didn't emit any light. It goes without saying the twins got no answer from it either.

*Clack, clack, clack...*

Suddenly, the twins heard some sound coming from the thing they were confined within. It resonated like some locks being opened all around. After a few seconds, light entered the area, causing both of them to close their eyes in response. The light pierced their eyes, causing quite some pain. From the looks of it, they had never used these new bodies' eyes before.

Slowly, Rean and Roan reopened their eyes and finally noticed they were within some kind of green gel. They made some effort and sat up as the green gel flowed down their naked bodies. Rean rubbed his eyes, attempting to clean the gel over them. He kept blinking, trying to get used to the light of the surroundings. Finally, he looked to his right, and a few meters away, he saw Roan... or someone who was supposed to be him. His appearance was completely different, even though he was still human. Nonetheless, the soul connection shared between them left no doubt. That twelve years old or so young man was definitely Roan.

Roan, naturally, noticed Rean to the side. 'Seems like the only feature that remains from our previous bodies are our White and Black Hairs...' Roan commented. Both of them had very long hairs that spread around the gel they were sitting inside. Obviously, they had been growing for a very long time as well.

'Sigh... why do we still have to be twins?' Rean complained, feeling dejected. Other than their Black and White Hairs, they were definitely identical to each other, although they now had different appearances from their previous life as cultivators.

Roan understood Rean's pain but decided to leave that aside for now. That's because, right in front of them, there was someone waiting with a smile on his face.

"Took you long enough," the man said, stretching his body. He seemed a little tired. "I say, next time you decide to kill yourselves, please wait until you reach the Celestial Realm. Do you have any idea how hard it was to save the last sparks of your souls before they completely disappeared? To preserve your memories on top of that was even more annoying."

He continued. "Ah, and don't you dare to complain about the kids' bodies. You were only Divinity Realm experts when I took the remnants of your souls. The fact you are still alive is already a miracle in and out of itself. Yes, you are mortals now and will have to get yourselves back in shape, but that is better than nothing, right? But hey, you two are extremely experienced, so you should already know what to do to recover your strength."

He then finished stretching his body. "Sigh... Hyeoumu and Soul Gem sometimes truly cause more trouble than they help. Just because we are brothers, they think they can exploit me like that. Hmph! I'm definitely getting those two to pay a hefty price for this job."

Roan was completly lost. "What are you even talking about? Soul Gem and Hyeoumu? Saved us? Well, it is obvious we were saved, but how did you do it? What is this place?"

Rean waved his hands. "Where are your manners, Roan? We obviously should introduce ourselves first. h.e.l.lo there. I'm Rean, and the project of something on my side is probably called Roan. I'm not sure yet, though. Anyway, how should we address you, senior?"

Roan's mouth twitched. "Do you wanna see me transforming you into a project of nothing?" Rean snorted. "Hmph! I very much would like to see you try."

The man was taken aback. "You truly don't know when to stop, do you? No, wait! Don't you remember me?"

Rean and Roan looked at the guy and shook their heads. "We've never seen you before." "Ah!" Only then did the man understand. "Right, right. I lived so long inside that Beacon without a proper body that I forgot I had acquired a better one. You once called me Hex. Just keep using this name."

Rean and Roan obviously knew Hex. He was the Universe s.p.a.ce Temporal Beacon's Artifact Spirit. It was also Hex who transmitted the signal that ended with the Garisan Universe Forces knocking on their Lisan Universe's door. "It's f.u.c.king you!" Lisan Universe had been on the edge of destruction for years, and Hex's actions definitely didn't help. He was definitely the main culprit of all the problems regarding Garisan's invasion.

"That is me," Hex nodded, not feeling the least bit regretful. "Anyway, I did my part and brought you back to life and away from Lisan. Well, you weren't completely dead, per se, but you were close. Seeing that you are okay, I'm taking my leave. Take care."

Hex then turned around, preparing to leave.

The twins obviously tried to stop him. "WAIT!"

Too bad they didn't have any cultivation at the moment, so there was nothing they could do.

Finally, Hex disappeared without a trace, but not before he left a few words behind. "Oh, right! Welcome to Werdlem Empire."
