Death... and me

Chapter 2551 Give Me Your Answer Later

?Rean smiled in response. "Then a Humanoid Puppet it is."

"What about cultivation?" Lostrai immediately asked back. "Is it possible to cultivate?"

"That..." Rean narrowed his eyes. "I wouldn't say it is impossible, but it is beyond my abilities. I can make a Puppet Strong enough for it to cultivate all the way up to the Divinity Realm. However, the cultivation itself is something you will have to find a way to do. Well, the Puppet will already be strong enough to compare with a Void Tempering Realm expert even without any iota of cultivation."

"So, that's to say... I won't be able to increase my strength in the short term, correct?" Lostrai noticed the issue.

Rean nodded. "That's correct. Let's be honest here. If just anyone could move their souls inside a puppet and acquire the power of a Divinity Realm expert, all three Realms would be infested with such puppets. No one would care about their own bodies anymore. Once again, the Puppet will be good enough to support a cultivation at the Divinity Realm, but you will have to find a way to cultivate by yourself."

Rean pondered a bit. "One type of cultivation you might wish to follow is Soul Cultivation. That one has no need for Dantians or Cores, for example. However, as I'm not a Soul Cultivator myself, I can't tell how good it would be to you or anyone else. It is a different path whole focused on Soul and Mental Power with its own cultivation Realms. Of course, this is just an example."

"There is only the three of us here, so there is no need to keep hiding. What impedes you from destroying me before once I leave this Universe Foundation Fragment?" Lostrai asked back. "After all, that would mean I know you are the person with this Fragment."

Rean looked around and confirmed no one was hearing anymore. Well, there was Kentucky, but he was just listening. "Unfortunately, that's not something I can help with. It all comes down to whether you believe me or not. However, your other alternative is to be locked here forever. Did you forget? The Shadow Ferals are leaving. Do you think you will find another way to open a breach in this Dimensional Realm? It is pretty obvious that a simple Divinity Realm expert is far from enough, and you don't have anyone at that level to help you."

Lostrai wanted to refute but had no words to do so. Indeed, once the Shadow Ferals are gone, opening a breach in this Dimensional Realm was out of the question. Unless... "I might just release the guy locked at the center of the five cities. That's one way out."

Rean laughed in response. "First of all, you said it yourself. You don't know if the being there is even alive or what it is. Even if you do it and the being is alive, what guarantees do you have that it has the power to escape this place? It's been so long that it might be even weaker than you are now, Lostrai. No, let's consider for the sake of this argument that the being there is alive, has its full power, and can escape this place. You were one of the reasons why it was locked for so long. I don't really see a reason for it to help you escape this place. If anything, it might even use that power to somehow get rid of you."

Lostrai went silent once again. Obviously, all these things Rean mentioned were things Lostrai had thought about himself. Lostrai did the maintenance of the equipment that kept that being locked in that place. What if it could see Lostrai until now, too? Simply put, it wasn't worth the risk to release that thing.

Rean saw Lostrai's lack of response and struck while the iron was hot. "It doesn't matter how you look at it; your best chance is to bet on me. Anyway, you don't need to decide it straight away. I'm going to the Holamenor Clan to talk to Waremis and Spiegel. Since you had a deal with them, you should know who I'm talking about. Once I'm back, you can give me your answer."

Lostrai continued silent for a moment before finally agreeing. "Fine. I will think about my options and I'll give you your answer once you are back."

Rean then called Lotar over and passed Lostrai to him. Rean knows Lotar hates the guy with all his being, but Lostrai was indeed indestructible as long as he is residing in the Universe Foundation Fragment. In that case, Lotar was the best option to make sure Lostrai wouldn't go anywhere while he was out.

After that, Rean and Kentucky talked to Iolanda, saying they were leaving the Azum Dimensional Realm. Iolanda still looked in a very bad mood about having to consider this alliance with the Holamenor Clan. Nonetheless, she accepted the fact and bid them farewell.

"Oh, right. I'll bring her with me," Rean suddenly pulled Kijia nearby. "She will our witness of what was decided here so that Waremis and Spiegel won't doubt my words. Fuhiro will stay with you guys, just in case."

"No problem," Iolanda nodded. "I would go as well since I have Aelrie's memories. However, it is too risk for me to do that before a proper agreement is reached, so I will wait here."

Kijia obviously saw no problem. "You can count on me. I'll tell them everything."

Rean and Kentucky ignored the girl and shot upwards. Not too long after that, they exited the Chasm near the city wall where the Chaotic Space Power was the weakest, flying in the direction of the nearest Altar. Obviously, the closest one was inside the city itself, so they went there. They had seen it when they first emerged too.

Finally, they reached the Altar and touched it. Sure enough, once their Divine Energy was poured into the Altar, the Space Laws enveloped them, making Rean, Kentucky, and Kijia disappear.

*Zush, zush, zush!*

All three of them reappeared in the same area where the dead angels end at. Rean and Kentucky looked at each other and nodded. Lostrai wasn't lying. There were no attempts to alter their memories in the end. The pulled Kijia together and left the Azum Dimensional Realm. Finally, they took the teleport formation and left for the Holamenor Clan.
