Death… And Me Chapter 549 - Not Infallible

Chapter 549 - Not Infallible

Back where Sunkan Planet exploded, everyone who survived had already left, leaving just an empty s.p.a.ce with many debris of the now destroyed world... or so it was supposed to be. However, no one noticed as a small sphere of black and white light took form in the middle of that chaos. That sphere began to acc.u.mulate Dark and Light Element until it reached the size of a fist.

[First point of souls connection acquired.]

[Initializing merging sequence...]

The black and white orb suddenly grew a few strands that pierce through the fabric of s.p.a.ce. No one knew where these things were connecting to.

[Completed.]

[Initializing Dual Souls Attachment.]

Even more strands came out of the black and white orb. However, this time it didn't pierce through the fabric of s.p.a.ce, but spread all around the place.

[One owner, two souls.]

[All connections established.]

[Using one Soul to secure the other.]

[Soul Gem Universal Souls Attachment Completed.]

Right after, everything disappeared without a trace. Not even Rean and Roan knew what happened here.

Back in the Soul Gem Dimensional, Agis had recovered a bit of energy, just enough to sit down once again. However, he ignored the pain on his body as he looked at the people around him.

"Hey, talking ball. Care to explain?"

[Talking... ball?]

Sister Orb began to emanate a dark and white aura as she looked at Agis. In an instant, Agis felt a chill on his back, forcing him to change his words.

"Ahem... I mean, beautiful sphere sister."

[Hmph! That's more like it.]

Sister Orb then looked at Rean and Roan before asking.

[Should I tell them? After all, I believe you'll talk even if I don't, right?]

Rean nodded. He thought that what happened was because of their presence on the Sukan Planet, so they owed the others an explanation at the very least. Malaka and Calina knew about Sister Orb and the Dimensional Realm. Still, they didn't know much about the situation regarding the twins and the Soul Gem System.

Qia and the others then calmed down and looked at Sister Orb.

[Well, then. The story goes like this...]

Of course, there were a few things Sister Orb had concealed. However, everyone could finally understand what was happening there.

Qia and Agis, of course, were the most shocked by it all.

"Rean and Roan were reincarnated? I see... no wonder you were this advanced in cultivation. You always had adult minds from the time you were born. No kid could possibly match an adult's dedication and comprehension."

However, Sister Orb didn't tell that Rean and Roan came from another half of the Universe. That was because other than the three of them, the rest didn't even know what a universe was.

Qia then took a deep breath before asking.

"So, Sister Orb was the one who took your souls the day you died and made you reincarnate in our world or... errr... 'planet'... is it?"

Rean nodded.

"That's... more or less how it is."

Roan glared at Rean but didn't say anything. Well, the only one who died was Rean, not Roan. Rean basically dragged death down with him.

Agis then glared at Rean and Roan.

"All I learned from the explanation is that you two were the culprit for the destruction of our world."

[Aren't you being way too annoying? You better remember that if Rean hadn't taken you in, you would be dead by now. You wouldn't even have the chance to complain to start with.]

Agis wanted to refute her words, but he knew better not to p.i.s.s off Sister Orb.

*Chick!*

Kentucky was the only one who didn't understand anything. However, he noticed Malaka and Calina's expressions, so he tried to comfort them.

"By the way, Roan. Did you bring Kentucky inside as well?"

Roan shook his head.

"I was too far away to do such a thing. He appeared in the Dimensional Realm by himself."

[The Soul Gem System did. Kentucky has a connection with you two, so he was dragged inside by the same power that the system used to bring you two inside. It was pretty much a coincidence.]

Rean and Roan more or less expected something like that.

Malaka and Calina petted the Minokawa.

"Thank you, Kentucky."

*Chick!*

"What should we do now? Are we going to be targeted again?"

[Didn't you hear what I said a while ago? The Soul Gem System's concealment abilities are powerful. If not because of the artifact spirit, we wouldn't have been found. Don't worry. If the enemy knew where we were, they would have already come after us.]

Agis finally put the matter behind and decided to ask some other things.

"Alright. Since that's the case, I want you to explain to me a few more things."

Qia, Malaka, and Calina also nodded. They were curious about many points in that conversation. From there onwards, Rean and Sister Orb took turns explaining things like the Universe, planets, solar system, etc... Those were things that they wouldn't even probably know even on their deathbed.

As for Roan, he looked at the terrain outside, trying to understand more about the place they were sent to.

A few hours later, Rean and Sister Orb finished talking with the others. They now had a basic understanding of what they were and where they were situated in this situation.

"To think that our world was nothing more than a grain of sand in a beach. No, we might not even be considered that much."

Roan didn't want to wait for all of that, so he s.h.i.+fted the topic straight to another one. However, he made it so only he, Rean, and Sister Orb could hear what he was saying.

'Sister Orb, how's the system? Is it damaged? Also, what about the missions? Did everything really just get canceled as the system had mentioned?'

Naturally, Sister Orb also kept it a secret to the others as she replied.

[The system is fine. However, it won't be able to process any Destiny Points for some time.]

Rean couldn't help but ask.

'I feel bad for asking this, but this is something we need to know. An entire planet was destroyed because of our presence. Doesn't that mean that the destiny of billions of people and demon beasts had changed? Shouldn't it give us a ridiculously ma.s.sive amount of destiny points?'

[It can't. The system had entered counter-measure mode when it felt the incoming danger. At that point, it completely turned off any part of the system that couldn't help with the escapade. Naturally, any destiny changes were also not recorded by it. You won't get a single Destiny Point from it. Instead, you won't get any more points from the Sukan Planet's changes now that it's gone.]

Instead of feeling sad, Rean felt relieved instead. He didn't want to be rewarded because of the world's destruction at all. After all, it also included his parents, sister, and friends.

Surprisingly, Roan also had the same opinion, which was a once-in-a-lifetime event for someone like him.

[Still, don't worry. The upgrades you guys bought from the system are still available. It's not like your bones would suddenly disappear.]

Rean and Roan nodded in response.

'How long till the system starts to count Destiny Points again?'

[At least three years. The same goes for further upgrades. You won't be able to buy any new abilities or upgrades until the system comes back online.]

It was then that Rean thought about something else.

'By the way, how many Destiny Points did we have before this event?'

[That I can check. After you did the last upgrades, you didn't use the remaining 6781 Destiny Points. Counting the years you spent inside the sect, as well as the few months that pa.s.sed outside of the natural formation, you acc.u.mulated another 5621 points. In short, you have 12402 points at the moment. Well, it's not like you can use them anyway.]

Rean nodded. After that, the twins discussed a few more things with Sister Orb through their Soul Connection.

Agis noticed that Rean, Roan, and Sister Orb went quiet, so he immediately asked.

"What are you talking about? Don't think I can't tell you're hiding more things from us."

Roan didn't try to deny it at all.

"You're right. There are a few things we haven't told you, nor will we ever tell you."

Agis narrowed his eyes as he responded.

"Is that so?"

He then tried to get up but fell on his b.u.t.t once again. Seeing the injuries left behind by Sister Orb, Rean then got close to him.

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.'

"What are you doing?" said Agis while glaring at Rean.

"You won't go anywhere with your body like that. The least I can do is heal your injuries."

"I don't need your help."

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

"Unfortunately, you can't escape from me either. Anyway, just make sure you don't p.i.s.s off Sister Orb anymore."

Agis didn't like it but decided to think that he was also injured because of them. That said, it was their duty to help him heal... or at least that's what he said to himself.

Sure enough, Rean's cultivation was higher than Agis's, so he finished healing the guys in just a few dozens of seconds. Following that, Agis looked at the terrain around them before asking.

"Where the h.e.l.l are we?"

[I don't know. The system only showed these coordinates during the time of the teleportation. It didn't have any information about the place itself. As far as I know, the system might have decided on these coordinates at the very last second.]

"Coordinates? What is that?"

[Think about it as an address. However, it is used to find your location in the Universe instead of your world. As long as you have it, you can go anywhere you want. Of course, as long as you have the methods to do that in the first place.]

Agis didn't want to stay there anymore, so he immediately asked.

"Let me out. I don't want to waste time with any of you anymore."

Sister Orb then looked at Rean and Roan.

[Is it really fine to let him go? He might bring problems for us later.]

Roan narrowed his eyes. However, Rean didn't even think twice.

"Let him go."

Rean then looked at Agis before saying.

"However, Agis, I truly believe you shouldn't leave our side. That is if you wish to survive."

"What do you mean?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he responded.

"Did you forget what kind of power the enemy had? If the system finds that we're being targeted again, I don't think you'd want to stay far away. I can't guarantee that this planet won't be blasted away either. Sister Orb only said that the system's concealment ability is powerful, not infallible."

Agis gritted his teeth in response after hearing that. As much as he wanted to refuse, he had no way to guarantee that Rean's words were lies.

"f.u.c.k!"
