Death... and me

Chapter 2597  Impossible!

Yet, everyone looked at Soul Gem with a strange expression, much to his confusion. "What is it?"

"Well, there isn't really a need to bring, don't you think?" Rean shrugged his shoulder. "The Control Orb is the thing that controls the entire Dimensional Realm. We don't really need to bring it anything as long as it is inside the Dimensional Realm."

Soul Gem scratched the back of his head. "Ahem... that was just a figure of speech. Sister Orb, you should be able to make the Control Orb absorb the Divine Origin Energy directly from the Cores."

[Alright.]

Sure enough, the Divine Origin Energy of over a thousand cores was absorbed in just a few seconds. The faint light of the Control Orb intensified once again, quickly surpassing what it usually showed. The intensive only increased, but Sister Orb controlled it so that it would not bother anyone. *Pin!*

-New Side-Quest available... Side-Quest Failed-

"Eh?" Everyone got confused. Yet, the system didn't stop.

-New Quest available... Quest Failed-

-New Side-Quest available... Side-Quest Failed-

-New Quest available... Quest Failed-

-New Side-Quest...-

The system continued to give new quests... but the twins didn't have time to even check what they were before they failed. "What is happening here?"

Soul Gem immediately understood. "It was the suppression my soul was causing to the system. The system was supposed to have given you many quests and side quests in the past, but it couldn't because of me. Now, all those quests are starting... and failing since their time limit has long since expired."

Rean couldn't help but ask. "But... aren't there failure penalties for the quests? What will happen to us?"

Soul Gem looked at Rean with a bitter smile. "Just bear with it."

Rean then got up with difficulty while holding his hand against his head. "You could have told us that beforehand... Does that mean we are safe now?"

Roan also got up, not feeling any better. "I doubt it. After all, the penalty for the failures still exists."

"Roan is right," Soul Gem agreed with him. "Sister Orb, check their Destiny Points."

[Fine. For a moment there, I thought I would be the one to disappear, you know? Anyway, you now have. -29010000 Destiny Points. Yes, this is a negative value.]

"Will the system simply let it go?" Rean asked.

"No," Roan answered. "It also said that the soul thread connection was only partially restored. I can barely feel Kentucky and Celis anymore, and the amount of Divine Energy shared between us is not even 10% of it usually is."

Celis confirmed. "Indeed. I can also feel that I lost pretty much the whole power of the System's Upgrades regarding cultivation. I also find it very difficult to create Sky Energy at the moment."

"Same here," Kentucky added.

These were all possible due to the system and their connection with the twins, after all.

Sister Orb quickly spoke. [Check the quest. You must finish it as soon as possible.]

The twins nodded and quickly accessed the quest.

-The previous hosts are given another chance due to the lack of compatible new hosts. Hosts have 168 hours to complete the quest, or the system will auto-destroy, bringing the hosts down with it.-

-Quest: End the war between Devils and the Realm of Gods' Powers.-

-Reward: Destiny Points reseted to zero.-

Not only the twins' but everyone's faces froze.

"Impossible!"
