Death... and me

Chapter 2749: Need to Destroy



Chapter 2749: Need to Destroy

"You must be kidding!" No one believed Romario. How could he tell the Leviathans he was here to take away their treasure. That seemed the type of decision that would make him public enemy number one instead.

"I told you it would be funny, didn't I?" Romario asked back with a smile. "It goes without saying that they didn't quite like when I mentioned that."

Back when Romario told the Leviathans he was here for the Fragment in the Treasure, the Leviathans really thought about killing him. However, Romario was also a Peak Divinity Realm expert. Above all, he proved it was possible to leave the Dimensional Realm if needed, so it didn't seem like a good choice. Why? Because if Romario fled and told the rest of the Realm of Gods about it, that would be hundreds of times worse.

Thanks to that, they decided to accept one of his demands to stay in this Dimensional Realm. In exchange, Romario began to teach them about the Circuitry Formations, which had steadily taken form in their home.

Rean pondered a bit. "Have you told them about the real identity of the Treasure?"

"Yes," Romario nodded. "I told their leader and only their leader. He asked me to not mention it to the other Leviathans. All of them believe the Trasure is a heritage of the Leviathan Race, he said. Yet, I believe the leader knew it wasn't really something related to the Leviathans in the past. The problem is the fact this treasure is what made the Leviathan's bloodline this powerful. I would say that their Divinity Realm experts have bloodlines almost akin to Regal Bloodlines."

It wasn't impossible. A fragment affects the environment and those around it in many ways. This one just so happened to be able to strengthen bloodlines. Proof of it was that it truly matched Kentucky's Bloodline during the fight outside.

"Why is it impossible to acquire the Fragment?" Roan asked, not interested in the rest of the story.

"Because the Fragment isn't simply an item that you can find standing on a pedestal or something like that," Romario explained. "Instead, it is deeply integrated into this Dimensional Realm and the Mirror Sea outside. If we go out of this house and fly a little high, you can see it straight away. Believe it or not, the Leviathans wouldn't even try to stop you if you tried to take it."

"They... wouldn't?" Kentucky asked back.

"Yes," Romario continued. "That's because it is integrated into the core of the Dimensional Realm. If you want to take the Fragment away, you must destroy the Dimensional Realm first."

Roan narrowed his eyes. That was very different from having the Dimensional Realm destroyed because they took the Fragment. For example, the Floating Islands of Time. Back then, if Rean hadn't thought about an alternative method, removing the Fragment from its location would have destroyed the Floating Islands of Time. Nonetheless, the Fragment was possible to be taken away if you didn't care about the destruction. That's what Romario tried at that time.

This Fragment in the Leviathans' world was the opposite. You would need to destroy the Dimensional Realm first. It wouldn't be destroyed as an after-effect. Only then would you have access to the Fragment itself.

"While the Dimensional Realm exists, bringing the Fragment away is a dream within a dream," Romario concluded.

Rean and Kentucky passed by many islands on their way to this place. They had seen countless other beings from many races that also lived here. If they truly destroy the Dimensional Realm to get the fragment, they will kill everyone inside as well. Of course, they could send everyone into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm before doing it, but would the beings of this Dimensional Realm wish to come with them? Chances are they would turn against the twins instead. After all, the Leviathans truly treat them well.

"You could say that was one more reason why the Leviathans allowed me to stay," Romario commented. "They weren't afraid of me taking their Treasure away at all."

Neither Rean nor Roan could think of a solution. The others were no different. Of course, they would have to check it all by themselves first.

It was then that Rean remembered something and looked at his sister, Rana. "By the way, what is Rana even doing in here?"

Rana smiled after hearing that. "Actually, I was looking for you two."

Rean and Roan looked at each other, confused. Their attention returned to Rana right after. "Us?"

Rana was expecting that question to come, so she began to explain. "It's the Karma Threads. You know that karma Threads of people closely related to each other have different colors in our faeries' eyes, right?" The twins nodded and waited for Rana to continue. "That's the reason I came to this place. A new karma thread I had never seen before appeared after the Continental Barriers disappeared."

Rana pointed at Romario. "Turns out the Karma Thread I saw was his one. Now, I know why we were connected. He is Rean's father from his previous life while I'm his sister from this life. That created this weird Karma Thread that guided me here."

"Of course," Rana continued. "This was mostly because of the disappearance of the Continental Barriers. If they were still up, I would never be able to see this Thread. Some of our Faeries got quite flustered when they also became able to see many Karma Threads they didn't even know existed. Besides, for the Karma Thread to even form, Romario must have passed somewhere near my home on his way to Hustis Continent."

Romario confirmed. "I did indeed."

"I see..." Rean said as he looked at Romario. "But, how did you and Rana meet?"

"It wasn't that hard," Romario spoke. "Although the Leviathans didn't want to leave this Dimensional Realm, that didn't mean I didn't. Sometimes, I would come out to check things. One day, I noticed Rana in my Divine Sense range but ignored it. Yet, every time I came out, she seemed to come in my direction. Finally, I lost my patience and brought her inside the Leviathan's World to explain herself. That's how we got to know each other."

With that, the mystery of Rana's disappearance was resolved.
