Death... and me

Chapter 2581  Separation

The Universe Foundation Fragment was put on the machine, which immediately recognized the item. On the several screens around the equipment, way too much information for just a single person to understand appeared nonstop, being watched by various experts. "Start!" Rean gave the order.

Immediately, a huge amount of Light and Dark Elements began to concentrate on the crystal above the Fragment. Half of the crystal shone with white light, while the other half was pitch black. Finally, a ray of dark and white light shot in the direction of the fragment below it.

The Fragment was indestructible for them. Naturally, trying to change its shape was out of the question with conventional methods. However, there was one moment when the Fragment did change its shape, the moment it tried to fuse with other Fragments!

Using this knowledge, Rean and the other experts went in and out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm countless times during these eight months, bringing several pieces of equipment in and out as well. What they created here at the moment was nothing more than a copy, an energy copy!

This equipment generated a type of energy extremely similar to the Fragment the twins have in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. If their fake energy could fool the Fragment for just a moment, it should liquify, just like when it tries to merge with other Fragments.

Time passed slowly, and seconds turned into minutes. Yet, the Fragment seemed to show no reaction whatsoever. In Rean's experience, the Fragments changed into their liquid forms almost instantly as soon as they touched each other. Yet, several minutes went by, and nothing happened at all.

"Could it be we were wrong?" Rean couldn't help but comment.

"Perhaps the similarities aren't close enough," Samira added.

Howard, on the other hand, had other ideas. "Maybe it is not the energy, but the fact that it can detect whether the physical form of another fragment is present or not."

Droman pondered about it. "Maybe it is the Extinction Sphere's Energy that is getting in the way, too."

Several other theories were mentioned as the equipment continued its work. The experts also changed the parameters of the laser many times, trying to achieve something. Yet, the same thing continued. The Fragment continued in its physical form without showing and changes.

*Glug!*

Sure enough, the moment Julia made that chance, the Fragment turned into a liquid form. It tried to fuse with whatever was trying to fuse with it, thinking it was another fragment. Of course, there was no other Fragment nearby, so it just kept its liquid form.

Rean faintly smiled and then turned to a floating ball of colored energy in the room. "Senior Huban, we have exposed the Extinction Sphere's Energy. Please, destroy it!"

Huban was shocked to see the Fragment go through such a transformation. But above all, he could clearly feel the Extinction Sphere's Energy apart from the Fragment's. Rean had called him earlier, telling him that he needed someone capable of at least moving it away from the Fragment.

Huban told him that he could even destroy the energy if necessary. The problem was that the source of that remnant energy of the Extinction Sphere was inside the Fragment, and he was powerless against the Fragment. Now, however, it was there for him to deal with. "Great job!"

Suddenly, the world seemed to change, and Rean, the only Space-Time Realm expert present, felt the laws going through a movement he had never seen. "This is... changing of laws!"

The ability only Semi-Celestials have, the power to change the laws, even if just for a small amount of time! Huban was sacrificing some of his comprehension towards the laws to get it done.

All that transformation then enveloped the Extinction Sphere's Energy completely. "Hmph!"

With a snort, Huban pulled that isolated energy away. Following that, a crack in space appeared, which Huban used to send the Extinction Sphere's Energy inside.

Finally, those changed laws compressed and then ignited behind the fabric of space.

*BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!*

An explosion of proportions Rean had never seen before followed, and it came straight at them. However, Huban immediately closed that crack. Rean felt the space power around him going completely chaotic for a few minutes. But other than that, nothing else happened.
