Death… And Me

Chapter 2448 You Dare!

Rean steeled his resolve and quickly asked. "System, point the direction to the cryo facility."

Just like it happened in the Ruins of the Stars, several holographic arrows quickly appeared around the place, pointing in the direction Rean wanted to go. Rean and Kentucky glanced one last time at the robot behind them and left it alone, quickly following the arrows.

The cryo facility was on the other side of the underground building, which took Rean and Kentucky a few minutes to arrive. Soon, they entered a small room with ten of these cryo devices properly organized at the back. The chambers looked quite different from the ones they found Tanxan inside, but it was easy to understand why. The system pointed out that this facility had to be built with different schematics due to the nonexistence of Divine Energy, and those different cryo devices should be one of those different ones.

Kentucky quickly pointed at the cryo pod at the center. "Can you see who is inside?"

The pods weren\'t transparent, though. They were just like the one Tanxan lived in this regard. They could only find out what the living being inside looked like once they opened it. Rean quickly nodded and approached it, waving his hand above the small terminal above the lid.

Several holographic information appeared in front of the duo, showing that there was indeed someone inside this pod. "System, which pod is the one working for 1276 years?"

-Cryo device number 005-

Rean nodded, seeing that he and Kentucky were right in front of it. Rean then took a deep breath and began to go through the terminal options. They were quite different from the terminal back in the Ruins, but the general information was similar. After a few minutes, Rean finally managed to finish the cryostasis. "Let\'s meet our new friend." With one last touch, Rean ordered the pod to open.

-Initiating cryostasis stoppage. Please stay a few meters away from the device.-

*Ziiiii...*

*Druuuuu....*

*Shuuuuuu...*

After a few minutes of weird sounds, the cryo pod began to open slowly. A cold fog came from inside, quickly revealing the body of a naked old woman lying down there. 

"Who is it?" Kentucky asked.

Rean faintly smiled as he took out a robe from the Dimensional Realm. At the same time, his appearance changed, returning to his original features before he died on this planet. Using his Divine Energy, he lifted the old woman\'s body and put the robes on. 

Meanwhile, the woman seemed to struggle to wake up as her hand moved to her head, feeling quite some pain. "Romario... please bring me some painkillers. My head is killing me."

Yet, when she finally woke up, she saw herself floating in the middle of a place she didn\'t recognize. "Ah! W-What is happening here?! Romario, where are you?!"

"Calm down, mom," Rean said with a smile. He had an inkling that perhaps it was his mother inside the cryo pod, but to see the person live was completely different.

Rean\'s mother then looked in the voice\'s direction. She immediately recognized the man in front of her. Yet, there didn\'t seem to be any happiness on her face. "AHHHHHHHH! GHOSTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!"

Rean\'s eyes twitched a bit as his mouth showed a bitter smile. Indeed, what were he thinking? He died many years ago, so it obviously would be a shock to suddenly appear in front of his mother.

"Hahahaha!" Kentucky, on the other hand, laughed out loud. "This is great! Ghost, yes, you are right, lady, this is Rean\'s ghost! UUUuuuUuuUuuuuuu!"

*Bang!*

Rean immediately kicked Kentucky, sending him flying out of the room and hitting the wall in the corridor. "Shut up, idiot! My mom has a weak heart. Do you want to kill her?"

Kentucky\'s body then flashed, quickly reappearing on Rean\'s side. Obviously, such a kick couldn\'t even scratch him. "Oh, come on. You have to admit it was funny."

Kentucky then looked at the old woman. "By the way, Rean, you never told me your mother\'s name. Lady, nice to meet you, my name is Kentucky."

The old woman was still scared out of her mind, especially after seeing Kentucky splash the wall in the corridor with his body, yet not receiving any damage whatsoever. Above all, Kentucky, in his humanoid form, was very different from a normal human, having several feathers and scales around his body. "A monster and a ghost! This must be a nightmare. Yes, it has to be it..." She quickly closed her eyes and ignored her headache, trying to sleep again.

Seeing his mother trying to ignore them and sleep again made Rean a little lost as he scratched the back of his head. He then used his Divine Energy to put his mother on the ground so that she could stand on her own feet. Yet, perhaps it was because she had been sleeping for too long, but her legs quickly gave away. Naturally, Rean quickly held her, but with his own arms this time. "Ahem... Mom, please open your eyes. This is not a dream... although I would also think the same if I were in your shoes."

Yet, the old woman ignored him and pretended to not hear anything.

"It seems like she totally thinks you are a ghost," Kentucky added.

"You didn\'t help much either," Rean glared at Kentucky.

Seeing his mother\'s efforts to continue to ignore everything around them, Rean could only use his ultimate weapon to make her pay attention. "Ah! Mom, quickly, look! Father is stealing your cranberry jam once again!"

"What?!" The old woman\'s eyes immediately opened as fury flashed on them. "Romario, you dare!"

Somewhere on the other side of the Universe, a certain Archangel felt a chill running through his spine.
