Death… And Me

Chapter 2674  Never Again

\'That\'s not exactly destroying, is it?\' Roan asked back while narrowing his eyes.

Bunbun was more concerned about something else. \'No can do! Our Loporrit Race needs that Purple Crystal! Don\'t you dare to teleport it outside of the Universe!\'

Indeed, the deal with the Loporrits was exactly that. It\'s just that Kafan didn\'t know about it. \'You... need it? Why?\'

Roan was the one to answer as he glanced in Bunbun\'s direction. \'Their Birth Rate issue still persists to this day. The Loporrit\'s plan is to use an extremely high concentration of Chaos Laws and Energy to see if they can revert the bloodline evolution, recovering their reproduction abilities. The Chaos Laws and Energy in the environment, even counting the area around the tower and the wonder beasts, are not enough. Am I right?\'

Roan did mention before he could guess what they wanted the Purple Crystal for. Seeing that Bunbun went silent for a moment proved that Roan\'s words were most likely correct. Bunbun didn\'t stay silent for long, though. \'Yes, that\'s exactly why we want the Purple Crystal... and something else as well. The other thing I can\'t tell you, though.\'

Kafan narrowed his eyes. \'That makes things difficult. I really don\'t know how I would manage to separate the Fragment from the Purple Crystal that grew attached to it.\'

\'Leave that to me,\' Yet, Roan didn\'t seem concerned. \'I know how to get the Purple Crystal away from the Fragment itself.\'

Neither Kafan nor Bunbun knew what Roan intended to do. Nonetheless, if it was possible, then they could only rely on Roan. \'Alright, then it is settled.\'

The conversation didn\'t end there, of course. \'So, Kafan, continue your story. You still haven\'t told us anything about Laweia and Lolio\'s situation there.\'

Kafan quickly resumed the tale. \'I got the item that can teleport the Foreign Fragment outside this Universe. Yet, at that moment, I didn\'t care much about it since I still had Lolio and Laweia\'s bodies with me. It was then that I had an idea. I made an agreement with the Universe Sentience. As long as it helped me save them, I would do its bid.\'

[I truly don\'t remember shit,] Sister Orb quickly added before the twins asked anything.

\'However,\' Kafan stopped for a moment as he thought about the past, \'Even the Universe Sentience didn\'t have the power to save the two. It told me that the Chaos Laws and Energy had deeply affected the two Loporits\' souls. All it could do was to seal their souls so that they would deteriorate further. As for how to save them, it didn\'t know and said I would have to find a way myself.\'

\'I, of course, accepted,\' Kafan added. \'Their Souls were sealed completely, not allowing for even an iota of Soul Energy to escape. It was a sealing method that far surpassed anything I could do as a Semi-Celestial. At least in that way, I would have time to research other methods.\'

The twins\' group knew the rest of the story. \'When you found how to create Death Spirit Copies, you immediately remembered Lolio and Laweia, right?\'

One must not forget that Death Spirit Copies are made with Dead Souls, two, to be more precise. \'Yes,\' Kafan confirmed. \'I told you before how Death Spirit Copies were made, and it just so happened to be the perfect method to save Lolio... and only Lolio.\'

Roan narrowed his eyes. \'The two souls that will be used to create a Death Spirit must be compatible with each other. Otherwise, it will fail. One soul will be the main soul, the one that will \'live\' as a Death Spirit. The other soul will be sacrificed during the process.\'

\'This...\' Bunbun could guess the rest. \'You used Laweia\'s Soul to create a Death Spirit Copy with Lolio as the main soul... Laweia was sacrificed so that Lolio could come back!\'

Kafan sighed and nodded. \'Yes. You know it better than anyone else, Bunbun. Loporrits aren\'t demon beasts, humanoids, spirits, angels, or devils. They are an anomaly born out of their long-term interaction with Chaos Laws and Energy. Naturally, their souls are also different. No other race in the Universe would have a soul compatible with a Loporrit except for another Loporrit. Believe me, I tried to find one for a long, long time before I reached this decision.\' Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

Roan wondered what he would do about Lolio once he put the Loporrit\'s soul inside Rean\'s Puppet. In any case, he couldn\'t complain about it. After all, Roan exists today because of that.

\'Why didn\'t you come back?!\' Bunbun asked, restless. \'If you had come back, we could definitely have used someone else\'s soul. We had Loporrits nearing their end who would gladly exchange their lives to save Lolio and Laweia. That\'s how important those two were for us! Why wait until now to finally come back here?!\'

Before Kafan could answer, Roan asked something else. \'You entered the Spatial Distortion because you wanted to reach the Chaos Origin Source. After all, you wanted to advance to the Celestial Realm cultivation. You had the Universe Sentience itself in front of you. So, after you got Lolio and Laweia\'s Souls sealed, what did you do?\'

Kafan bitterly smiled. \'You saw right through it, didn\'t you? I obviously asked the sentience to tell me the secret to entering the Celestial Realm. There was definitely my own desired involved in this question, but I also thought that I would have a better chance to save Laweia and Lolio if I was in the Celestial Realm.\'

\'And what did it tell you?\' Rean and the others asked.

\'That it could help me, however...\' Kafan stopped for a moment, remembering that day clearly. \'If I advanced to the Celestial Realm, I would never be able to return to this Universe again.\'
