Death… And Me Chapter 2801: Werdlem

Chapter 2801: Werdlem

The five s.p.a.ceships used to shoot the Star Ray were already aware that the s.p.a.ceship would not move anymore. That said, everyone inside was teleported to the other ships, leaving no one behind.

However, the fate of the last two s.p.a.ceships, which were brought down while the Garisan Forces were in retreat, was different. Many of the experts aboard these ships found themselves trapped, with no time to escape or be teleported away. The Garisan Forces, in their desperate bid to save their experts, had to make the painful decision to abandon them, as the cost of staying behind for a few damaged ships was simply too high.

Naturally, that meant these Garisan Universe experts could only rely on themselves. But how could they possibly escape the ridiculously enormous army of the Lisan Unvierse with their broken s.p.a.ceship? Many tried to resist as much as possible. Others simply came out and surrendered.

Soul Gem and the other Semi-Celestials wanted as much information as possible, so they used their powers to warn the two s.p.a.ceship's crews that as long as they surrendered, they wouldn't be killed.

A lot died and even brought down a few experts with them in their last struggles. Ultimately, the two s.p.a.ceships were slowly subdued. Thousands of experts were captured and were now waiting for interrogation.

Kilindou, the Devil Semi-Celestial, coldly smiled and turned around. "Time to extract some information. This is going to be fun."

Gem, Kafan, and Sofrixa just closed their eyes and didn't say anything. This is war, and in war, you have no place for compa.s.sion. Torture was often the most optimal way of extracting information.

Naya'il, as an Angel, didn't like that, though. "I can't allow you to do such a thing."

Kafan stopped her, though. "Naya'il, we already told them that as long as they speak, they don't need to suffer. That's as much leeway we can give to the enemy. However, Garisan considers this Universe to be nothing but an isolated and forgotten corner of the Universe with undeveloped beings. Their pride will not allow them to talk willingly. If you don't want the Heavens to be destroyed in the future, then your Angel Race should understand that it is necessary."

Naya'il went silent, and so did the other angels around. It was in their nature to not use such methods, so it affected them the most.

"Hmph!" Kilindou just snorted and left straight away. As a Devil, he couldn't be more used to such methods. He was especially good at it as well. Even if Naya'il insisted that she wouldn't allow him to do it, he would find a way in the end.

*Clap!*

Soul Gem got their attention. "Alright, none of you have time to worry about this. Let's all go back to work. Keep collecting the armors and get rid of the defenses of the other s.p.a.ceship. We need all the Divine Origin Energy Cores they have."

"Alright!" Everyone nodded and put the matter of the torture behind their minds.

"Sir, we got the connection going," someone on the bridge spoke to a man at the back.

The man got up and put his hands on the back. It was pretty much the first time he showed such respectful behavior ever since he arrived in this place. Nonetheless, the experts around didn't find it the least bit strange, as they knew how important this talk would be. The man was none other than Flavio, the Celestial Realm expert. "Connect to the main screen."

"Yes, sir!" The cultivator who spoke earlier quickly pa.s.sed it over.

In the next moment, a middle-aged woman appeared on screen, surrounded by several other beings. There were various races there, but no one found it weird or anything. The woman looked at Flavio, showing a disdainful expression. "Flavio, Flavio, Flavio... Guess what I just heard? Someone lost twenty-two s.p.a.ceships of the R Cla.s.s. Not only that, but this certain someone also got almost half of his army wiped out. Do you know what is the funniest part? It all happened in a Universe hidden in the middle of nowhere. The technology of the beings inside could only be said to be ridiculous. And yet, this certain someone still suffered such a disgraceful defeat. What do you think?"

Flavio quickly put his hands together and bowed to the woman on the screen. "It was this old man's mistake for underestimating the enemy forces, Lady Kaberta. I have no excuse."

"Hmph!" Kaberta was obviously the woman's name. "If not for the fact we spent so many resources to help you reach the Celestial Realm, I would have sent a squad to take your head already. Say it, what do you want?"

"I need reinforcements," Flavio went straight to the topic. "Although our numbers are still a little above half of what we brought, the same can't be said about our top experts. We suffered heavy losses in our s.p.a.ce-Time, Divinity, and Semi-Celestial Realm experts. Attacking this Universe with what we have in our hands now would only end up in an even more gruesome defeat."

"It seems like that way," Kaberta spoke. She had read the full report of the events in Lisan Universe before she contacted Flavio. "I think I heard about that creature that turned the tables during the battle near the Foundation Pillar."

Flavio was taken aback. "Lady Kaberta, please enlighten me. It was slightly like a Soul Devil, but it was eating Living Souls instead. And its power... I had never seen it before. It could even extract the Souls of Divinity Realm experts without any issues."

Kaberta nodded. "That's exactly what it is capable of doing. Do you know what is funny? If you had retreated and ignored that thing, the enemy forces would have to deal with it on their own. You actually did them a favor by getting rid of it. That thing was a Living Soul Devil. Pretty much no one knows about them. Even I only saw it once a very, very long time ago. They... were a product of the lost Werdlem Empire."

Flavio immediately froze in place while he felt like his mind was struck by lightning! "Werdlem Empire!"
