The Universe Is Innately Just 298 Reversal. Life Or Death Part Four

The state of the armed forces was devastated due to the horrendous fights in the prior hours. Rare were those that weren't physically scarred after those long, stressful hours of constant combat against the beasts, and even them weren't void of injury as the event would stay lodge in their hearts as though a deep knife had been left there.

Yet those soldiers were forced to accept that reality, and forced to continue advancing forward, despite the low hopes they held for their near future, one where they sadly didn't see themselves as the controlling force. But one where they felt as though they had been thrown in the middle of the sea with a tempest closing on on every side—forced to flee to survive a few more hours, or at best mere days.

The bitter aftertaste of the emotional rollercoaster that this war had been for their mind, with especially with today's retreat, had left the morale of the soldiers shallow and depressed.

The exception only laid in those that had seen worse, or had survived through situation akin to those. The Golden family's Old Soldier had been part of the fight that was held in the south wall, he had been one of the first that arrived in the north district, and had seen the horrendous scene.

His eyes were calmly watching the numerous holographic screen available inside of every vehicle of the cortege. The screen he was looking at showed a right angle of the two beasts standing- side by side- and attempting to take the other's life at any moment notice. Several other soldiers were looking at that specific screen, but contrary to the others, the Old Soldier's eyes weren't marked on the two beasts, but even further rooted in the vibrant canvas.

His glance moved past the energy shield, as though his senses had picked that something was happening there. An ominous and dangerous vibe was caught by his spirit, coming straight up from the north. At the same time, thoughts about a black haired swordsman couldn't help but pa.s.s through his mind.

"Did he grow enough to be able to stop this whole calamity?", he thought as he knew that he felt the subtle gut feeling that traversed his mind. One where Fell would be inexplicably linked with the ominous aura he was feeling in the north.

"This is going to be dangerous…", he thought as a tiny sigh-like exhale escaped from his nostrils.

Thankfully, he could only vaguely sense a feeling of the blood formation that the beasts had instinctively set up. He didn't know the actual danger held in it, and only two individuals were aware of it, as they currently stood in the center of that Formation.

Akainmhar and Fell's figure could be seen standing on the same towering creatures. Only their surroundings had drastically changed due to the fact that the towering animal had to flee from the ravenous beasts that had cut contact with the Formation; And only stopped when it hid itself in a densely populated part of the sea of creatures, one where the strong towering creatures were still linked in the ominous Formation.

The red haired man didn't know if the beasts had chosen this place in particular, but he could sense that the influx of slaughter aura received by Fell had been smoothened. Strangely, the fact that Fell was standing closer to a significant circuit of the Formation, made it that the influx of slaughter aura running along the beasts would be transferred to him in a steadier fashion.

"Looks like this creature is quite intelligent…", he mumbled as he could sense the gigantic orbits dart left and right. As though it was hoping that it's hiding stop was efficient enough. "It even cut its senses from the rest…", he mumbled as he looks around him.

His nostrils twitched as his otherworldly physique had upgraded the pure senses of smell, touch, vision, taste, and vision to an inhuman level, and added his blood essence treasure. The fine line linking every beast quickly entered his eyes, as a gigantic mental map of the sea of creature appeared in his mind.

"His roar did damage the Formation, but it only caused a change in the layout of the Formation… It still exists, and I can't even say that any damage had been dealt to its vital parts…".

His face turned into a dark color as a grim expression flashed on his face, as he could sense that the situation was even trickier than he had thought. "Even if this Formation ceases… As long as the blood essence in those beasts exists, then there would always be a Formation that would naturally form."

His mind worked in a lightning fast manner, and time ticked quietly as he began forming many potential leads that might be able to stop the sea of creatures. Since the very first moment he had plunged inside of the army of creatures, his mind was continually picking mental note on its internal structure, on the common characteristic in the beasts blood essence that existed between them.

Due to those valuable pieces of information, the experienced Akainmhar had picked continuously up. He came with different solutions.

Sadly, those solutions were mostly hypothetic ones where he either lacked one final component of the puzzle or needed an overpowering strength that could end everything in one finger clap.

"The easiest solution… Is to simply kill every single one of those creatures, at the same exact moment, leaving the Formation no opportunity to focus the blood essence of the dead creatures to any living one.", thought Akainmhar fully aware that he couldn't execute this action.

Even Thol'Yr wouldn't be capable of taking down every single creature of the army of beast in one attack. The Formation had evolved to the point where the weakest creature, alone, could be seen as an immortal monster if thrown inside the city. MechSuit and First Realm cultivators were far from being capable of facing them, even in groups, and could only rely on long-distance attacks to chip slowly at life from a safe place.

"The second option would be to… filter the blood essence of every single creature… But even that isn't possible, the creatures birthed from the Formation are far too numerous, and a second realm cultivator is far from being capable of such feats…", he mumbled as his eyes glinted lightly.

Not even he knew if he could be able to attain such feats if he broke through the third realm of cultivation. Once again, strength was all that matter as the two options he could think of were exploits he wasn't capable of accomplishing.

"The third solution lie inside of this youth… His soul is tainted by this Formation, and he had already managed to manifest an intent that nearly broke the order of the Formation.", his eyes glinted sharply as Fell's figure was reflected on his red- flamboyant- iris.

"I can sense that the intent of his roar is only awakening, something bigger is coming soon…", he could gaze at the red haired Fell. Unable to approach him, due to the fact that a delicate yet firm membrane of soul power had sheltered his body in a coc.o.o.n, blocking any sense that tried peering inside of his body, or inside of his Soul Palace.

"That roar wasn't an end…", his eyes glowed as he could sense that something inside of that body was leaving its coc.o.o.n.

Fell eyes had blanked the moment he had unleashed that roar, his senses had been shut down, and he had no idea of what was going on around him.

From an outside perspective, he was still standing still, surrounded by an unG.o.dly amount of slaughter aur coming from the sea of beasts- lingering around him. But from his senses, he had been locked inside of his Soul Palace, where everything had been shambled by the roar.

A dark crimson colored veil seemed to have been placed in front of his eyes, putting a strange hue to his vision as he gazed at his Soul Palace.

High in the ceiling of his Soul Palace, a raging sky stormed in the form of a sea of slaughter, and a thick somber pillar had emerged from the sea, linking it with the earthly purple expanse.

Fell's ego body slowly hovered toward the middle of his Soul Palace, right where the thick pillar of slaughter aura had mixed with the glinting purple energy from the earthly expanse of his Soul Palace. His figure crossed the distance in an instant, as he appeared beside the thick pillar that linked the Heaven And Earth of his soul palace.

"This…", he mumbled as he couldn't understand how the two energy had come to an absolute equilibrium, despite the fact that the slaughter aura in his Soul Palace should have been the dominant force.

He raised his eyes upward, and sensed that the small isle in the sea of slaughter was the point of contact of the pillar of energy.
