Death… And Me Chapter 2833: Over

Chapter 2833: Over

"Hum? I haven't seen s.p.a.ce Power acting in such a strange manner before," Luan answered. "Strange how?"

Luan focused even more and tried to explain. "Well, you would usually expect Spatial Distortions being used for teleportation, spatial gates, displacements, and things like that. If used for attacks, you aim to break the s.p.a.ce or tighten the s.p.a.ce around your target. My s.p.a.ce-Cutting Blade is one of such attacks. I more or less use s.p.a.ce to cut s.p.a.ce, if you understand me."

Luan then closed his eyes and opened again. "But that distortion there... it is not accomplishing any of these points I just mentioned. It is like the distortion is only there for the sake of being there. However, I can't pry deeper inside, you cou- Ah! I see!" His voice was filled with a sudden burst of realization, as if he had just uncovered a hidden secret.

"What is it?" The twins and Beelzebub asked at the same time.

"It's a concealment method," Luan explained. "A concealment that works against the Natural Spatial Perception."

The Natural Spatial Perception was available for everyone at the Void Tempering Realm and above. As long as changes happen in s.p.a.ce, you will notice. Usually, it is mostly used to detect similar or higher-level experts since they look more like black holes inside the perception range.

"Oh!" Roan and the others were surprised to hear that. They had seen Natural Spatial Perception not working before, but such moments were usually environmental effects. "Could it be the Fragment?"

Fragments cause a lot of phenomena, so it wasn't hard to believe the Fragment caused that distortion.

Roan then patted Luan's shoulder. "Alright, go back to the Dimensional Realm. We will take a look inside."

"Alright, Father." Luan nodded and quickly disappeared.

"Should we go together or one by one?" Rean asked Roan and Beelzebub.

Beelzebub shrugged. "He said the distortion is acting against Natural Spatial Perception, right? Our Divine Sense can't see past it either. That said, I have no intention of risking getting trapped in some bulls.h.i.t situation again. If you want to go, go by yourself."

"But without the Fragment, you won't get Kafan's help, nor will you get those two Semi- Celestial Dead Souls," Roan spoke with a faint smile. "You can forget about getting information about the Celestial Realm as well."

Beelzebub's mouth twitched. The whole reason he was even here was for those same reasons. "Fine! But I'm definitely not going in first."

*Zush, zush, zush...*

Following that, more bodies appeared outside. They were some of Beelzebub's bodies with a sleeve of his soul inside. He had many of them to use as he wanted.

*Zush, zush, zush...*

He wasn't the only one. Rean also brought his own friends... a bunch of puppets. "I love how convenient they are for such moments."

Finally, Beelzebub and Rean sent the bodies and puppets into the distortion.

Rean made a small alteration in his puppets, though. Every single one of them had a cable connected to their back, reaching Rean's hands. "Hehehe! Even if Divine Sense doesn't work, I want to see how it will stop a direct connection." The cables only had a few kilometers of extension, but that was enough for him to at least test.

The puppets and bodies disappeared inside the distortion, and Beelzebub was the first one to narrow his eyes. "I lost my soul connection to them."

Rean nodded. "I also lost my Divine Sense connection with my puppets... but the cables are still working just fine. Hahaha!" He then closed his eyes and watched through his mind and the puppets' eyes the situation inside the distortion.

"Alright, here's what I'm seeing," Rean said as he used his Divine Sense to share his vision.

Beelzebub's bodies were all there with the puppets, but because they lost their connection with Beelzebub, they just stopped moving and did nothing. Roan and Beelzebub didn't mind that, though. They only paid attention... to another cube in the center of that distortion. "Hum? That again?"

"No," Roan shook his head and began to walk into the Distortion. "That thing is very small. Most likely, it is the thing that controls the giant cube behind us. Now everything makes sense..."

And so, Roan disappeared, leaving Rean and Beelzebub confused. Without another choice, the two also entered the Distortion. After all, Roan wouldn't just throw himself inside if it was too dangerous.

Beelzebub and Rean appeared near Roan, who walked calmly in the direction of the small Cube.

"What do you mean everything made sense?" Beelzebub asked as he took his bodies with his soul sleeves back into his Pocket Dimensional Realm. Rean did the same thing with his

Puppets.

"We theorized the cube or whatever is not something from this Universe, right?" Roan asked and continued to walk.

Beelzebub and Rean nodded and waited for Roan to continue talking.

"Well, do you remember the two other items that we know to not be from this Universe? The Underworld Relic and the Heaven's Gyroscope?" Roan asked again but continued to talk before Rean and Beelzebub could answer. "I believe they all have the same origin. That's the feel I get from it. Since that's the case, you should also know what powers the Underworld Relic and the Heaven's Gyroscope."

"The Universe Foundation Fragment!" Rean and Beelzebub immediately understood.

"Yes," Roan confirmed. "It makes sense. That cube outside is enormous and extremely strong. It's not something anyone could create in our Universe at the moment. Probably only something like the Universe Foundation Fragment could power it up."

Roan finally reached the Cube and touched it. Immediately, the spatial distortion disappeared, bringing them back to the s.p.a.ce where the giant cube was located. However, the most impressive thing happened right after.

*Bzzzz!*

The entire Giant Cube they were trapped in earlier suddenly began to shine. In less than a second, that light compressed and shot in Roan's direction. Finally, it entered the small Cube in Roan's hand. "Rean was right; this is a treasure and a really powerful one at that. Its use is very obvious. It is made to trap others. You can use it for tests, too, so I wasn't completely wrong either."

Roan seemed to understand how to operate the cube. He touched the surface and sent his Divine Sense inside. A moment later, the Cube opened, and inside a burst of Light and Dark Elements came out as well as Spatial Power. "Here it is, the Fragment we came to take. Our mission here is over."
