Death... and me

Chapter 2689  Negotiations

The twins weren't idiots. For the Vruves, the best option would definitely be to get rid of the twins so that they would be the only ones with access to such technology. They would need to be careful in the future.

"Great!" Kafan nodded, satisfied. "Then we will be waiting for your good news. Now, we need to address the other issue before we attempt to enter the tower. The problem is... experts from outside the Universe already arrived, so what is happening outside? Is it really okay to stay here, or should we return instead?"

Indeed, that was a big problem. They came here to get stronger... and most of the weaker experts were indeed benefitting greatly from this Wonderland. Many of them used the Chaos Laws to speed up their comprehension, and pretty much all of them who were stuck in their comprehension had now broken through. At the moment, most of the experts in this place were using the Chaos Laws and Energy for two things. One of them was obviously Chaos Cultivation so that they would have more power in this world. The other one was to further increase their comprehension towards their affinity laws to go beyond their cultivation level. That way, once they leave this place, all they will need to have more breakthroughs is to absorb enough Divine Origin Energy. The necessary comprehension will already be there.

Should they continue to attack the Wonder Beasts and enter the tower, or should they immediately go back to see if an invasion has started already? But then again, going back now as they are instead of using this opportunity to increase their strength would make things more difficult when fighting experts with those weird armors.

"Let's continue," Himmel, the Regal Phoenix Semi-Celestial, suddenly said. "Regardless of how impressive the outsiders are, conquering an Universe is easier said than done. It will take a very, very long time for them to take a foothold, and that's if they have really arrived at all."

"What do you mean?" Black Locust got confused. "Didn't you see they were already here?"

Sansara understood Himmel, though. "It's not that. When you decide to attack someplace, what do you do first?"

Roan continued. "Obviously, you send your scouts. If possible, you try to sabotage the enemy before the main army even arrives."

"Exactly," Himmel nodded, satisfied. "Chances are those three we just saw are nothing but some scouts, and their presence here was indeed an attempt to sabotage us. After all, it is not a big secret we came to this place to increase our strength to fight against them. There is a very good chance the bulk of their army hasn't arrived yet. Even if it has, as I mentioned, you can't conquer an entire Universe in just a few months. That is rediculous, not to mention we left a few Semi-Celestials back in the Universe. They will definitely fight back if necessary."

"Very well," Gragatou found Himmel's words reliable. "Let's aim for the tower. As for the armor..." Gragatou looked at Rean. "Even if you tamper with it, I don't think you would use it against us as long as we don't turn against you either. I saw the power of this armor of yours, so I will want one to use against the visitors from outside."

Rean was happy to comply. "No problem. But I will need the materials to craft them, and believe me, they are fucking expensive."

"Hahahaha!" Gragatou laughed. "I'm a Semi-Celestial. If I can't gather the necessary resources, then no one can. Don't worry, just give me the list, and I'll get the materials to you."

"Me too!" Sophia knew about the relationship between the twins and Waremis. After all, Waremis was inside her Pocket Dimensional Realm. That served as a little backup. "Just give me the list."

Rean narrowed his eyes, though. "Senior Sophia, you are an Angel Beast. My armors were made for humanoid races, so I don't know if I can make one for someone like you."

Rean then pointed at Kentucky and Celis. "You can even check my two friends here. They aren't wearing anything exactly because I can't make one for them. I would need to research it, and that will take time."

The humanoid Semi-Celesitals heard that and quickly approached Rean. "Then you can make ours first."

Black Locust also joined. "Kid, I'm not exactly from the humanoid races, but I do have a similar shape. Would that be a problem?"

Rean pondered a bit. "Shouldn't be. As you all know, once converted, Heavenly Energy, Divine Energy, or Devilish Energy all become normal Origin Energy, and my armor works with Origin Energy, not the three lower variations. As long as your shape isn't much different, I think it will be fine."

Rean didn't care that he was a Devil. At the moment, it didn't matter which realm you came from. They had to unite against a probably much stronger enemy.

Xude and Bracius didn't care. Even if they wanted to help, they would need the organization's approval, which they were well aware it wouldn't happen. The secrets of the Vruve Organization couldn't be revealed regardless of the reason. That's how they operated since the Extinction Sphere's event.

"Alright, here's the list." Rean then used his Divine Sense to engrave several jade slips, passing it all to those interested. "Get me these things, and I should be able to make the armors for you all. But I won't lie to any of you. I will leave a little gift behind in them. If any of you turn against me or my friends, you better not be wearing one."

Everyone's expression turned dark.

However, Roan snorted in response. "What with the looks? Are any of you saying that you would never do such a thing?"

The dark expressions turned even worse... but they all looked away. They would? Ridiculous! They absolutely would have done the very same thing or even worse!

"Alright, I guess we are settled then." Kafan turned in the tower's direction. "With no more risks of being attacked, let's finish the rest of the Wonder Beasts and enter the tower."
