Death... and me

Chapter 2436 Romario and Kafan

Everyone immediately paid attention to Kafan as he continued to explain. "It's like Roan mentioned. Romario Faran was someone I noticed a long time ago. It's just that he never did anything to anyone. The only reason I even felt his existence was mere coincidence while I was passing by a desolate area countless years ago. It was even before the Extinction Sphere appeared."

"Back then, I was curious why a Peak Divinity Realm Archangel was locking himself in the middle of nowhere, so I called him out. Romario appeared and seemed surprised to see me there. He said that no one was supposed to be in that place, which wasn't entirely wrong. If not for the circumstances, I wouldn't have passed through that place either."

"Of course, as you can imagine, he didn't tell me anything. Why would he? We had just met for the first time. I tried to ask it out, but he just told me he was just waiting for time to pass. Why? I don't know. I then asked why he didn't go back to the Heavens. After all, an Archangel shouldn't be in the Living Realm. I was met with more silence as an answer, though."

"In the end, I wondered if I should call other Divinity Realm experts to come and check this guy. Who knows if the angels weren't plotting something against the Living Realm? The presence of a Peak Divinity Realm Archangel was just too suspicious."

"That silence continued for a few seconds before he finally decided to leave. He said that since I didn't want to leave him alone, he could only move somewhere else. I wanted to stop him, but as you know, experts of my level aren't allowed to intervene with anything. The most I could do was to warn other experts of this Archangel's presence. But, by the time any of them arrived in that place, that Archangel would have been gone."

"In the end, I just told him that he didn't need to leave since I would do it instead. Since he could abandon that place without thinking much about it, it was obvious that that place held no real importance in his mind. Instead, I would rather know where to find him in the future. As for whether he would still be there next time I appeared or not, I didn't know."

Everyone listened to Kafan's tail and immediately asked. "So... did he stay there? Did you go back to check on him later?"

"I did," Kafan nodded. "Well, I wasn't really expecting him to be there. I warned the other Divinity Realm experts that I saw an Archangel. You know, just to be safe. It's just that I didn't tell them where the Archangel was located, saying that he was just passing by."

"To my surprise, when I went back to that place to check a few years later, the Archangel was indeed there still. I called him out, and he came to see me, obviously annoyed that I stopped his meditation again. Well, that didn't matter much since he could tell that difference in level between the two of us."

"I would try to have some conversation with the guy, wanting to see if I could find any information about this Archangel. The reason for that was that I checked the information of the known Archangels of that time. Yet, it looked like no one had ever seen that guy before. How could we have absolutely no information of a Peak Stage Divinity Realm Archangel? That seemed just too hard to believe. Yet, that was truly the case. For all purposes, that Archangel simply didn't exist anywhere."

"Our second meeting was over with more silence than words. Still, I persisted. A few hundred years later, I stopped by, and sure enough, the Archangel was still there, sitting on the desolate planet, meditating. It was as if he couldn't even see the time passing. If I'm not wrong, he had purposely disconnected his mind from the outside world, so he probably didn't see time passing indeed."

"These kinds of encounters with a few hundred years separating them continued for a long, long time... We even became kind of friends. He wasn't as cold to me anymore, but he still never told me what he was doing. The only thing I knew for sure by then was that he didn't seem interested in anything happening in the Universe. I was pretty sure that he was waiting for something. As to what it was, I had no idea."

"As you can imagine, I had absolutely no idea he was someone from outside the Universe. This information I only got from you now. No wonder I couldn't find a single piece of information from him. Well, it has been so long ago that I completely forgot about his existence until now."

Kafan continued. "Anyway, as I said, we kept those encounters every few hundreds of years until one day, he left."

"He left?" Roan asked back. "Did he tell you he was leaving?"

Kafan shook his head. "No, when I went to have our usual get-together, he simply wasn't there anymore. However, guess what had just appeared during that time."

"The extinction sphere?" everyone asked, seeing where it was going.

Kafan nodded. "Yeap. A few decades before I went to see him, we got the first piece of information about the Extinction Sphere. At that time, it was nothing but a small sphere with a few tens of meters of in size. Yet, even the Peak Divinity Realm experts of that time couldn't do much about it. Instead, every time they did anything that required energy to be used on that sphere, it grew faster. Attacks, tests, etc... everything was simply sucked dry of its energy and ended up as food for the sphere. Of course, it goes without saying that no one was aware of how dangerous that thing really was at such a point."

"Anyway," Kafan returned to Rean's Father's topic. "The Archangel disappeared around that time, and I've never seen him again."
