Death... and me

Chapter 2596  Soul Gem's Revival

That thing quickly took form. The most impressive part was that a real body began to take shape, carrying flesh, bones, and blood. After a few minutes, a naked man appeared in front of everyone. Then, he opened his eyes, looking at everyone around. "Sigh... I'm finally over with it..."

[Oh! Soul Gem, is that you?!] Sister Orb immediately recognized the man. After all, the past her had met him before in the flesh.

Soul Gem waved his hand. Soon, a set of clothes materialized on his body as he nodded at Sister Orb. "That is me, indeed. I told you, didn't I? I was very close to finishing recovering the damage in my soul. Not to mention, Roan's Master gave me a huge help on the other side of the Universe. Now, I don't need to hibernate inside the Control Orb anymore."

Hearing that this guy was Soul Gem, Roan quickly asked. "So what now? Do we still need to work on the fragments and the Universe Foundation problem? You are the owner of the Soul Gem System, after all. Since you are awake, you should be able to work on it on your own and cut the ties we have with the system."

Rean quickly nodded. Up to this day, they indeed helped gather the Fragments to fix the Universe Foundation Pillar. However, one must not forget that neither Rean nor Roan ever asked to do such a thing. When they tried to get themselves away from the system, the system even threatened to wipe them out.

Unfortunately, Soul Gem shook his head. "That is out of the question. I had my soul hibernating inside, but you two are the ones who have a real connection with the system. Not only that but now that I have separated myself from it, I'm not able to do anything with it anymore. It's not wrong to say that I'm just a visitor in this Dimensional Realm now."

Soul Gem then smiled. "Besides... look at my cultivation. Do I look like I could do anything at the moment?"

Roan narrowed his eyes. "That's all? You haven't told us anything. Why are you leaving? Where are you going? What do you intend to do about the problems in the Universe?"

Soul Gem smiled in response. "That's a secret. Telling you about it now would make no difference, especially since I'm not sure if I can achieve the objectives I set for myself. Don't worry. I'll carry one of Rean's communication badges. If you need to talk to me, just call my number."

No one liked it very much, especially Roan. After coming this far, why would Soul Gem try to hide his next steps? "Will it at least be of any use for our situation?"

"Yes," Soul Gem nodded. "To be more specific, it should help us with the threat at hand. I'm also aware of Hex's communication with the outside. I must leave immediately and get everything ready. There is no doubt whatever power answered him and is coming to our Universe is countless years more advanced than anything we have here."

Roan could only nod in the end. "Very well. We are going to warn Hyeoumu and get him to talk with the experts of the Universe."

"That's a good idea. No one will doubt his words." Soul Gem then extended his hand, and a little of his energy was used to create a little azure cube. "Show this to senior Hyeoumu, and he will at least hear what you all have to say. I won't be able to accompany you."

Rean grabbed it. "Thanks. This should be of great help."

Finally, the energy coming out of the Soul Gem orb stopped, finishing the construction of Soul Gem's body. "There we go. Bring Divine Origin Energy Cores here and feed the system. It is time for it to recover its real strength."
