Death… And Me

Chapter 2836: Can\'t Escape

Kafan was impressed to hear this Cube was probably something as powerful as the Underworld Relic, so he quickly nodded. "Of course! You still have one Foreign Fragment from Hyeoumu, so use it to power the Cube."

Soon, Roan took the Foreign Fragment and opened the Cube just like the last time. After inserting the Fragment, the Cube closed and activated, showing that any Fragment would be a good enough source of power. "It will be a problem to find another source of power for it once we trade the Fragment, but we can think about it later."

*Bzzz...!*

The cube immediately shined with a golden light before that light shot into the distance. As fast as it was recalled before, the huge Cube was deployed, taking less than a second for it to appear.

"This thing is truly big..." Kafan couldn\'t help but comment when he saw the thousands of kilometers it occupied. He then looked back at Roan... who was nowhere to be found. "Roan, you are still there, right?"

"Yes," Roan answered, his voice seeming to come out of nowhere. Even Kafan couldn\'t tell from where it came. Now that Roan had control over the Cube, he could even prevent the Spatial Distortion from appearing. Rean even felt a little bit jealous since his Light and Divine Sense Bending Skills can\'t conceal him from Natural Spatial Perceptions... while the Cube can. Kafan walked to the place Roan pointed out, and Roan simply appeared like a haze. Obviously, he was holding the little Cube in his hand. "So... it can completely conceal you, but it doesn\'t put any kind of barrier around to protect you from attacks, is it?"

Roan had tried it before. "Yes. It is a little dangerous, but only if others know you are there. I\'m trying to see if it has any other functions, but it doesn\'t seem like it does. Of course, the power it has is already quite heaven-defying..."

"Do you need to operate it from afar?" Rean asked. "Can\'t you simply enter the big Cube after deploying it? You would be more protected than anyone else."

"It seems like it is not possible," Roan spoke. "Can you see the Big Cube? Look at what happens when I try to approach it."

Roan began to run in the direction of the Giant Cube. However, the Cube itself began to run away from him. It seemed to have its own intelligence as it could even avoid obstacles. At some point, Roan put himself in a position where the Giant Cube would be forced against the planet inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. In theory, it wouldn\'t be able to stay far away from him.

Too bad, though. When that happened, Roan couldn\'t move his small Cube anymore. There was some kind of force that prevented the small Cube from approaching the big one.

"Father," Luan, who was also there, spoke. "Can you turn off the concealing ability?" Roan nodded. "Alright, done."

Luan then took a look at the big and small Cubes and nodded. "It\'s the huge Spatial Rune at the center of the Big Cube. I can see it is connected to the small Cube somehow. It is also it that prevents the small Cube from getting close to the Big One... Oh! So that\'s how it is..."

Luan smiled at everyone. "Father, the small Cube can\'t approach simply because it is the giant Cube\'s container. From our point of view, the Giant Cube is much bigger than the controlling Cube in your hand. However, the truth is that the small one is much bigger. Its the weird Spatial Runes, Laws, and Power used to build it that make it look like it is small. Simply put, you can\'t possibly expect to put something much bigger inside something much smaller. The Small Cube, which is actually the bigger one, simply doesn\'t fit inside the Giant Cube. That is also why you can\'t approach it or stay inside the deployed Giant Cube."

Rean was quite interested in that. "So the Small Cube is actually bigger, uh... What an interesting approach for Spatial Runes. I\'ll definitely analyze everything calmly later. Perhaps I can use this knowledge somehow."

Roan wasn\'t surprised. He didn\'t know the reason before, but he knew he couldn\'t approach it. Now, the reason was made clear through Luan\'s eyes. "Very well. I won\'t try anymore."

"Well then," Kafan smiled as he reverted to his Death Spirit Form, "Let\'s try its hardness. That\'s what Roan asked initially, right?"

Rean and Roan immediately brought everyone to an empty space outside the planet in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Kafan wasn\'t going to hold back, so they couldn\'t test it near the planet. "Alright, Master. You can do as you please. If you need time to comprehend the laws you use, we can activate the time acceleration formation here in the Dimensional Realm later."

Rean looked at Sister Orb. "And you better make sure to not let senior Kafan\'s power cause issues to the rest of the Dimensional Realm."

[Hmph! In the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, I AM GOD! Go ahead and don\'t hold back. Everything will be fine with me here.]

Kafan didn\'t waste time and immediately gathered his laws, fused energy, elements, and everything he had. He first started without changing the laws since he didn\'t want to destroy the Cube. However, seeing that the barrier didn\'t even budge, he switched to serious mode and used his Semi-Celestial Powers.

Explosions of Fused Energies, Elements, and Laws spread around as a result of the attacks, although they couldn\'t go far, with Sister Orb stopping it all before they got too distant.

Kafan tried it in two different ways. One of them was attacking the Cube from the outside. The other was to enter the chambers and attack them to try to escape from the inside.

In the end, the barrier of the Cube became a little feeble, but it was still far from breaking down. Seeing that, Kafan returned to his humanoid form and sighed in praise after coming out. "I can proclaim without a doubt. If you trap a Semi-Celestial inside, he will definitely not be able to escape."
