Death… And Me

Chapter 2601  Silence

Roan immediately came out of the Dimensional Realm, looking at the dissipating Fragment. "If our theory is right, this crystal isn\'t really disappearing. Instead, it is returning to Hyeoumu. Most likely, it is made of the energy of the Continental Barrier. And since it is so close to Hyeoumu\'s Shell, it gains life... if we can call it life at all... and becomes a Flash Beast many years later."

Rean nodded and then looked at Hyeoumu\'s Shell he was stepping on. "Should we attack it and remove a piece to catch Hyeoumu\'s attention again?" Back then, they tried to break it since they weren\'t sure what this place represented. Hyeoumu then used his Spatial Power to immediately summon Rean\'s group to meet him. Well, not meet him, but to kill Rean\'s group for breaking his shell. It was Soul Gem\'s intervention that prevented that.

Roan pondered a bit. "He was already quite angry last time we did it. Soul Gem isn\'t here anymore to speak for us... and I don\'t really think Hyeoumu would let it slide twice just because Soul Gem asked."

"It was obvious he had quite a short temper..." Rean had to admit Roan was right.

Rean then brought out the item Soul Gem passed to him. Soul Gem mentioned before he left the Dragon Race that the twins could show it to Hyeoumu, and the \'turtle\' would at least hear what they had to say. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yet, even though Rean held the little Azure Cube he received from SOul Gem outside, there was no reaction from it. "Hum... Seems like it is only something you use to show to Hyeoumu. It\'s not like it has any special power to catch Hyeoumu\'s attention."

Rean looked to the ground, which was Hyeoumu\'s Shell. "Since there is no other choice, we can only attack it and break another piece of his Shell. Let\'s hope he won\'t kill us straight away and at least hear what we have to say."

Roan nodded. "We will be dead in a little more than four days if we don\'t do anything anyway. Might as well die faster here while trying to get Hyeoumu\'s attention."

"What about everyone inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm?" Rean asked back.

"You saw how the system didn\'t break down after separating from us for a moment. Sister Orb should be able to release everyone before anything bad happens," Roan said, not very concerned.

Rean\'s Black Star Sword and Roan\'s White Star Scythe appeared on their hands. Immediately, they prepared to attack the sheel with their full power. They were much stronger than before, so they definitely could break a bigger piece of Hyeoumu\'s back this time. Weapon Auras, Sky Energy, Body Cultivation, Elements Exchange... they fuelled their weapons with everything they had, finally slashing down.

\'Death Style, Crescent Moon!\'

\'Life fire, Flame Emperor Slash!\'

The two weapons came straight against Hyeoumu\'s Shell... or so they should have. *Zush, zush!*

Just as the two attacks were about to hit Hyeoumu\'s Shell, the environment around the twins blurred for a fraction of a second. *Slash!*

*Slash!*

Before they could even make out what happened, Rean and Roan saw the energy of their attacks flying into the distance, crossing the empty void of the Universe. In the end, their attack didn\'t hit Hyeoumu\'s Shell at all.

"This..."

Both Twins couldn\'t help but feel moved. Even now that they can feel the presence of laws and have such high Spatial and Time Power, they didn\'t notice anything before it was already over. Of course, at that place, there was only one thing that could teleport and catch them so easily.

The twins looked ahead, and sure enough, the giant eye was looking at them. Just like before, Rean could tell through his Light Element Affinity that the light that reflected that giant eye for them to see had to travel for a long time to get to their location. "More or less two and a half months..." Rean commented. "That\'s how long the light traveled to reach this place so that we could see this eye."

Roan wanted to comment something, but he didn\'t have the chance before another voice echoed around them through a power of Divine Energy Pressure. "You have quite the guts to try to damage my shell again. Do you want to die that badly?"

Rean quickly shook his head. "Sorry, senior Hyeoumu. That was truly the only way we could think to catch your attention. I\'m happy Senior noticed our actions before we had the chance to damage your shell and pulled us over. Please, take a look at this!" Obviously, Rean showed the Azure Cube Soul Gem passed to him.

"What does that Gem brat want now?" Hyeoumu immediately recognized the Azure Cube. He then enveloped the cube with his Spatial powder, which made the cube disappear from Rean\'s hand. "Don\'t think you can escape punishment just because you know that kid. If you don\'t have a very good explanation, I will ignore my relationship with that brat and end your life here. I don\'t care if you are the key to fixing the foundation or whatever."

Rean and Roan sighed in relief. All they wanted was truly just the chance to talk. "Yes, Senior. I shall explain everything in detail. I believe Senior will see the importance of the matter."

Rean took the front and began to explain everything to Hyeoumu. Rean went about how he met Hex, found out what Hex really was, and how he recently received a message from him. "If things are truly as he said... then our Universe will receive a visit within the next ten years, maybe not even five, depending on their actual technology."

After finishing his explanation, Hyeoumu went silent.
