Death… And Me Chapter 2385 Dilemma of the New Fragment

Chapter 2385 Dilemma of the New Fragment

"Hide it?" Rean and Roan got puzzled. "But the Fragments we found in the past never had a need for anything to stay hidden. Others simply couldn't detect them. The way most used to find the Fragments were mostly through the phenomenons they cause."

Huban pa.s.sed through the Spatial Gate as Rean's group followed. "We both know it is wrong, don't you think?" 

Rean and Roan were taken aback. Then, they remembered how the Soul Gem System was indeed able to detect them once they got close enough. However, until Huban opened the Spatial Gate, the system truly couldn't detect this Fragment, which, in theory, was really close. "What do you know?"

Huban looked at them as he continued to move forward. "What I know is that you two definitely have some method to find the Fragments. Otherwise, Hyeoumu would never have spoken for you. I might as well add that I would have tried to take the Fragments you have in your hands if not for that. After all, it is still believed the Fragments might be the key to reach the next realm."

"Do you mean the other experts at your level are able to tell where our Fragments are located?" The twins asked back. The twins it to be possible.

However, Huban denied it. "No, we can't. All I said is that it isn't impossible to detect the fragments. However, due to the Energy in this place, it should be extremely hard to detect it if I don't open the Dimensional Realm."

Rean and Roan admitted the system couldn't find it until that moment. "So you are hiding it from those like us, who have methods to find the Fragments' locations."

Huban continued. "What I said before we entered this place is that the Energy here helps keep it hidden. However, it was not me who put this Energy here. At my level, I don't really need to hide anything since few could contend against me anyway, especially in this region. Too bad we are all bound by the agreement where we can't interfere with the events of the outside world."

"The one hiding the Fragment is none other than the Fragment itself," Huban then dropped the bomb.

"Impossible!" Rean and Roan spoke at the same time. After all, the Energy in this place is the same Energy as the Extinction Sphere. This Energy was supposed to be able to destroy the Foundation Pillar, after all. How could the Fragment of the Pillar be releasing this type of Energy that was supposed to be harmful to it?

Huban didn't seem to mind Rean and Roan's answer. "As I thought, you do know what kind of energy this is, right?"

"This..." Roan kept a cold expression while Rean struggled a little to keep his surprise in check. In the end, Roan simply spoke. "This Energy is a Remnant of the Extinction Sphere."

Huban nodded, satisfied. "That's correct. The energy present in this place is the same as the Energy of the Extinction Sphere. I can understand your shock. After all, this Energy should harm the Fragment, not be released by it."

Huban truly seemed to be aware of many things. But then again, he was probably alive even back then when the Extinction Sphere first appeared... or so the Twins believe.

Finally, they arrived at the center of the Dimensional Realm. In the distance, Rean and Roan could see the floating piece of material in the air, not moving. However, they could also feel that the Energy of the Extinction Sphere was denser the closer they got to it.

Huban then looked at the twins. "So, here you go. That's the Fragment. You can simply go and take it." From Huban's tone, he seemed to be enjoying this situation quite a lot.

Rean and Roan knew why. The Sistem and Sister Orb warned them already. This Energy is terrible for the system, so they can't let it get close to it. The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was completely sealed at the moment because of it.

Yet, the Fragment ahead was the cause of the issue. If they wanted to take it and fuse it with the other Fragments they got, they would need to send it into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Naturally, that was out of the question. Huban was giving it to them, just as he promised. Yet, they couldn't take it. 'Cunning old fox...' Rean and Roan thought at the same time. It was obvious Huban knew what was happening.

Even if Huban didn't know about the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, he already made it clear he knew Rean and Roan had more Fragments. Yet, the Fragments they had were also part of the Universe Foundation Pillar. If they tried to fuse both sides, wouldn't that Fragment ahead corrupt the Fragments they had?

The worst part was that the quest said they couldn't leave the central area of the Realm of G.o.ds until they got it. Unless, of course, they paid for the failure penalty, which costs Two Million Destiny Points! At the moment, the twins only had a million and a half. Or, to be more precise, 1533215.

'Sister Orb, what do we do here? First of all, how can that Fragment be releasing the same Energy as the Extinction Sphere?' Roan asked.

[That's hard to say since my memory is sealed. I truly have no answer to your questions at the moment. However, there is indeed a way to acquire this Fragment...] Sister Orb mentioned.

'There is?' Suddenly, Rean and Roan remembered something. 'Oh, right... there is...'

The Fragments Rean and Roan have in their Soul Gem Dimensional Realm weren't bound to the Dimensional Realm. If they wanted, they could bring it out. Another method was to simply acquire that Fragment ahead but never put it inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. It's just that only the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm gave Rean and Roan enough confidence that the Fragments would never be detected by anyone. If they bring it away with other methods... it might not take too long before they receive the visit of a few Divinity Realm beings.
