Death... and me

2706  I have a plan

Kafan then shared everything that happened through a Divine Sense Message. Of course, he concealed anything that could possibly reveal the Soul Gem System. In that message, he simply said they were teleported here against their will.

The Vruves looked at that and narrowed their eyes. They obviously had seen the fight of the twins against Bracius and Xude. There was no doubt that in this Wonderland, the twins truly had a power similar to a Semi-Celestial. Above all, they even had a slightly worse version of the System Armors.

Kafan was definitely not someone they could underestimate, either. He was considered the oldest Semi-Celestial, and it was also true in the Vruves' eyes. His new type of energy that merged Death Energy with Soul Power and Divine Origin Energy was definitely not for show.

Then you had Celis and Kentucky. They only had information about these two Demon Beasts and Plant from the time they fought the Wonder Beasts outside the tower. They weren't sure if they were as strong as the twins, but they did seem to have similar levels of strength outside, at least.

The only liability in the twins' group seemed to be Sansara himself. Everyone remembers when Sansara changed the laws to contact all the Semi-Celestials in the tower. That definitely required him to forget a lot of his comprehension of the laws. Above all, it seemed like he found out about that issue with the Wonder Beasts because he tried it himself, so his power should be even lower. He could be considered the weakest Semi-Celestial in this room at the moment.

Sansara organized those thoughts and bitterly smiled. He obviously reached the same conclusions as everyone else after being made aware of the situation. Nonetheless, he definitely wouldn't side with the Vruves, that's for sure.

Neither side moved. For all intentions and purposes, it didn't seem like it would be an easy victory for any of the two sides. However, staying put like that wouldn't work either. If there were no more obstacles on the way, the other Semi-Celesitals would eventually arrive at the tower's top. Then, the situation would get even more complicated.

It was then that one of the Vruve's Semi-Celestial, one of those no one knew about before, stepped forward to talk. His name was Leandro, a humanoid race expert. "Kafan, will you really get in our way? If you step down with your group, we can keep our deal going."

"Deal?" Sansara looked at Kafan. The twins also looked at him. It's just that the twins knew Kafan had some relation with the Vruves from what happened the last time they visited the other side of the Universe. Kafan never commented about that, though.

Kafan's expression didn't change as he also took a step forward. In the eyes of the Vruves, he was the leader of his group, which wasn't exactly wrong. "Unfortunately, I must deal with the Fragment inside this Crystal. It is pretty obvious that you also know there is a Foreign Fragment inside this thing. Don't worry, though. I'm not saying I'm taking it for myself. I have a method to send it out of our Universe. That's my mission. This Fragment is affecting our Universe, accelerating its demise. I can't allow it to stay much longer."

Sansara was taken aback. A Foreign Fragment? He still remembered the reports from back in the Ruins of the Stars. He didn't expect there was more of them in their Universe. Yet, even more surprising was to hear that the Fragment was harmful to their Universe.

Leandro ignored the surprise on Sansara's face. "We are not worried. If push comes to shove, we will be the ones coming out on top. It's just that defeating you would not come at a cheap price. That Foreign Fragment must come back to the Vruve Organization. As for the fact it is accelerating the demise of our Universe, you don't need to worry about it. We have a method to make it harmless to our Universe for the time being."

Kafan narrowed his eyes. The reason for this trip was to stop the Foreign Fragment's effect. If the Vruves truly had a way to make it harmless, then perhaps it wasn't a good thing to fight them here. That organization can't be underestimated.

However, he also knew the twins needed the Purple Crystal for the System's Quest. Kafan's Divine Sense spread to the twins' group, and he talked to Roan while the others heard. 'What do you think?'

Roan also didn't want to engage the Vruves here. In the end, the gap in cultivation still exists. Thanks to the Chaos Laws on this planet, they bridged the gap of strength. However, if it turns into a battle of attrition, even if they have Celis's abilities, they might lose since they definitely have much smaller pools of energy in their Dantians and Cores. Besides, who said Sansara would truly help them? He might flee at any moment.

It was then that Rean had an idea. 'Senior Kafan, tell me, what is this method that can send the Fragmetn outside of the Universe?'

Kafan quickly answered. 'I told you. The Universe Sentience, AKA Sister Orb, gave me an item that can be used to send the Fragment away. I just need to make the item and the Fragment touch each other... or so Sister Orb said back then.'

[I remember nothing.] Sister Orb made sure to warn everyone. Her memories were sealed. [However, considering my status back then, lying to beings like you all was definitely out of the question. It was beneath me, not to mention I simply didn't care that much. If nothing has changed since that time, the item I gave you should work just fine.]

'Is it too big?' Rean followed with another question after hearing Sister Orb's assurances.

'Not really,' Kafan answered and immediately shared an image of the item through Divine Sense. Turns out that the item was very similar to the Control Orb where the System and Sister Orb exist. It's just that it was the size of a pearl.

Seeing that, Rean mentally smiled. 'I have a plan.'
