Death... and me

Chapter 2598  What To Do?

They quickly looked at Soul Gem, as angry as they could be. "What the hell will we do now? End the war between these two powers in ONE WEEK?! Was that part of your plan?"

Soul Gem quickly shook his head. "Of course not! I knew the system would have no other choice and could only select you two as its hosts again. I expected it to give you a new quest to get things straight, but I didn't think it would show such a ridiculous objective."

Roan tried to calm down. "Alright, forget it. No point cursing him anyway since we are just losing time. So, Soul Gem, tell me, what can we do to fulfill the system's objective?"

"I..." Soul Gem was aware of the things that happened in the twin's life even though he was hibernating. He just couldn't wake up to talk since it would cause trouble with his recovery. Naturally, he knew the state of the war between Devils and the Realm of Gods. The war had picked up in speed, as the years spent trying to get rid of the Living Soul Devil prevented it from continuing before. The time Hyeoumu can keep the Continental Barriers down is not infinite, and it should be getting pretty close. That said, there is no way the Realm of Gods would stop its assault against the Devils in their Realm.

"Would it be possible to make the Realm of Gods win this war within a week?" Rean asked Roan, who was the real strategist there.

However, Roan immediately shook his head. "Unless the Devils or the Realm of Gods' Powers suddenly decided to surrender, it is absolutely impossible to finish it in a week. Just the time necessary to cross a continent with such gigantic armies takes years, and that's already with the help of countless teleport formations being set nonstop."

"Regardless if it is the Devils who force the Realm of Gods back or the Realm of Gods that forces the Devils back, the outcome will take several decades, and I'm already being very optimistic," Roan concluded.

Soul Gem bitterly smiled. "Do you have any idea how complicated it is to heal an almost shattered soul, especially one at my level?" Soul Gem then changed the topic. "Did you collect everything?"

The middle-aged man nodded. "It wasn't easy, but I got all the fragments that spread on this side of the Universe. As for the other side, you can only rely on Kafan for that."

"I already requested his help when I visited the other side," Soul Gem mentioned. Back then, he was left alone with Kafan, who would help him to accelerate the recovery of his soul. That's when he also talked to him. "He will bring everything he finds to this side soon."

Rean heard all of that and was still confused. Obviously, these two didn't want to tell much about their plans. However, one thing took Rean by surprise when he tried to check on the middle-aged man. "You... are a Death Spirit, aren't you?"

The man looked at Rean with a surprised expression. "I haven't been called that in a very, very long time."

Kafan mentioned that the other side of the Universe still had one Death Spirit alive. He even said that Rean and Roan might never meet that Spirit in their lives. Yet, here he is, a friend of Soul Gem.

Soul Gem used a Divine Sense message to explain things to the man, who finally understood. "So he is one of the two, uh? Whatever. Just call me Rugo. Now then, Gem, let's get out of here before anyone starts paying too much attention to me."

"Very well," Soul Gem nodded, and Rugo quickly caught him with his Spatial Power. After that, a Spatial Gate was opened, and Soul Gem disappeared inside with Rugo. No one knows where or what they would be doing.
