Death… And Me

Chapter 2769: Not That Simple

Flavio had seen similar scenes quite a few times. Too bad he hasn\'t been into any Universe for a very long time already. Once one enters the Celestial Realm, the Universes will expel them into the Great Void. Lisan Universe would be no exception. Semi-Celestials are the Limit.

"How\'s the absorption process? I have a big bonus waiting for me once we acquire this Chaos Origin Source," Flavio asked.

One of the experts in the room quickly checked some information on the screen and gave Flavio an answer. "Everything going according to the plan, sir. It shouldn\'t take more than three months for the Universe to collapse and the protection around the Chaos Origin Source to disappear."

Flavio nodded, satisfied. "Very good. If nothing wrong happens, I\'ll share a little bit of the rewards with everyone in the entire fleet. You should know just how much it would change all your lives, even if it is a small part."

Everyone\'s eyes lit up, growing quite determined. They had to do everything to make the mission go as planned. Well, the Grape Vortex would do most of the work, but there was a lot more to be done once the Chaos Origin Source became available.

Back in the Lisan Universe, the Semi-Celesitals looked at the Grape Vortex in the distance with gloomy expressions. "We haven\'t brought everyone yet. Perhaps if we gather all the Semi- Celestials and Divinity Realm experts in the entire Universe, we might be able to destroy it," Himmel suggested.

However, Gragatou quickly shook his head. "Out of the question. It\'s not that I don\'t want to bring them, but that it would be meaningless. Didn\'t you see that thing? Such an attack, and we barely scratched it. Not to mention, it fixed itself in the next few minutes. We can gather everyone, and it still won\'t be anywhere near enough."

"So what?" Black Locust complained. "Are you saying we will just look as this thing brings our Universe down with it?"

"Of course not!" Gragatou spoke back. "However, just attacking it from the outside doesn\'t seem a feasible solution. We need to think about another approach."

Rean looked at his group and talked through Divine Sense. \'I don\'t think things will work here, guys.\'

Roan was the first one to agree. \'Indeed. If they sent this thing inside and left no one to protect it, then the guys outside are very confident we won\'t be able to take it down. Besides, I feel like we are constantly under observation, even if there isn\'t anyone here.\'

Romario agreed. \'They certainly have the technology to see what is happening to their Grape Vortex without having to come inside themselves. They were already able back when I arrived with the Ruins of the Stars, let alone now.\'

\'Dad, was there anything described in the concept of the Grape Vortex that we could use to exploit and destroy it?\' Rean asked.

Romario narrowed his eyes. \'Not that I can remember. The concept was truly just a concept. No one had started working on it yet back then. The most I can do is give some wide guesses.\'

\'Then tell it to the others,\' Roan mentioned. \'The Semi-Celestials are our main force, after all.\'

Romario took a deep breath and nodded. His voice spread over the entire area. "Everyone, the Grape Vortex was just a concept in the information Rean and Roan got for me. However, one thing stands out, the spheres inside it. All the energy to operate the Grape Vortex is taken from the Spheres themselves."

Kafan found it strange. "But didn\'t you say the spheres were sending all the energy outside our Universe?"

"They are," Romario confirmed. "However, did you notice? The Spatial Distortions that send them out are only a small part of the Spheres. Each Sphere still keeps a huge amount of Laws, Energies, and Elements rotating inside it before they fall into the distortion."

"So the Grape Vortex is using those Spheres to repair itself, right?" Gragatou understood. "I see where you are coming from. You want to destroy the Spheres inside instead."

Romario nodded. "That\'s what I can think at the moment. The Spheres themselves don\'t seem to be that strong, and the energies inside are pretty chaotic. It shouldn\'t be too hard to take them down slowly."

"Alright, let\'s give it a try," said Sansara. He was accepting any idea at the moment.

A party was once again made and entered the Grape Vortex four days later. The Same- Celestials used the Space-Time Realm experts to accelerate time and comprehend their laws once again, so they needed at least this much to recover some good degree of power.

This time, although everyone still kept their guards high, they understood that the outsiders didn\'t seem interested in stopping them. That said, even the twins came into the Grape Vortex to take a look.

Gragatou looked at one of the Spheres and attacked, although he didn\'t use any of his comprehension of laws to fuel it.

*Boom!*

Romario wasn\'t wrong. The Sphere wasn\'t that resistant. The energy inside even helped with the destruction, bringing the Sphere down without an issue. The Spatial Distortion Inside also disappeared. "Oh! That\'s a lot better."

"Let me give it a try," Black Locust quickly took the front and attacked with even more strength. In a moment, five of those Spheres were destroyed. Naturally, they stopped absorbing Energies, Laws, and Elements. "Seems feasible. Let\'s get them all. Everyone, attack, but keep some distance away."

And so, Semi-Celestials, Divinity Realm, and Space-Time Realm experts began to destroy the spheres nonstop, continuing to attack for over an hour.

Unfortunately, they came to a standstill after this. "That doesn\'t make sense. We attack, attack, attack, and destroy, destroy, destroy, but their numbers never go down."

*Zush!*

Suddenly, Kafan appeared near the group. He didn\'t participate in the attack. Instead, Rean asked him to do something else. "You can stop already. I kept flying around while you destroyed the Greap Spheres. Every time you destroy a Grape, another one is randomly born inside the construct somewhere. And it is a pretty fast event. I saw various being formed in just a few seconds. They work like cells. They simply divide constantly. As long as there is extra space, they will continue to multiply. This is definitely not going to work."

Roan closed his eyes, not feeling surprised. No one really was. It would have been way too easy if it was that simple.
