Death... and me

Chapter 2764: The Fruit

Far in the distance, a colossal structure loomed, its form a peculiar blend of a fruit and something otherworldly. Despite its immense distance, it stood out with a clarity that defied logic, its extension seemingly stretching across endless kilometers.

The magnitude of the structure was not the most unsettling aspect. It was the oppressive aura it exuded, a chilling reminder of their insignificance in the face of such power. Even from a distance, the environment around it was a bleak testament to its dominance. It was clear to see. All the Laws, Divine Energy, and Elements were being devoured by it at an alarming pace. "That thing makes me look like an ant in front of a Peak Divinity Realm Dragon..." Celis couldn't help but comment. Demon Beasts' size had a lot to do with their cultivation, and a Peak Divinity Realm Dragon was absolutely gigantic. Placake, the Regal Azure Dragon, was in that same realm. He was over a hundred kilometers long when he appeared during the war to kill one of the Divinity Realm Devils. "No, calling myself an ant is overestimating my capability. I'm far below that compared to that thing in the distance."

Rean looked at Celis. "Are you talking about your ability to absorb energy?"

Celis nodded. "Yes. My Absorption Laws make it extremely clear to me. That thing is countless times more powerful. Even if there were a hundred million copies of me, I wouldn't reach even a single percent of what that thing is doing. Its capability to absorb energy is just ridiculous."

Rean took a deep breath. Celis was just a huge black hole when it came to absorbing Cultivation Energies. And yet, a hundred million of him couldn't do even a single percent of the construction. "Just what is that thing absorbing so much energy for?"

"Rean, Roan." Someone's voice suddenly echoed in their ears before Kafan appeared. "You came."

Roan nodded. "Yes. Master, have you found anything?"

Kafan looked back at that construction and shook his head. "No. We are waiting for more experts to arrive before trying anything hasty. Besides, considering how long we have been feeling this sense of danger, the amount of energy, laws, and elements it absorbed is definitely enough to kill a Semi-Celesital easily if it uses all of that to attack."

Roan agreed with him. "That's definitely true. Celis here said that a hundred million of him couldn't even get to its feet."

Kafan looked at Celis, who seemed truly amazed by the construction. "I see..." He knew what Celis was capable of after using Roan's pills.

Kafan then looked to the two Peak Divinity Realm experts near the twins' group. He recognized the Leviathan since they made contact with the main power of the Realm of Gods recently. However, he didn't know who was the humanoid guy. "And this is?"

Roan quickly compiled a resume of the events and used his Divine Sense to share everything with Kafan.

Kafan was obviously surprised to hear that. "So he is the one..." Of course, he understood why Romario's identity couldn't be revealed, so he used his Divine Sense to talk to him instead. 'You came from outside, right? Don't you know what is that?'

Romario narrowed his eyes. 'I feel like I've read about something like this thing before. However, it has been way too long. I can't quite put my finger on this. At the very least, our expedition ship didn't have something like that thing when we invaded this Universe all those years ago.'

'That is definitely many times bigger than the Ruins of the Stars, that's for sure,' Rean added. Kentucky took the chance to comment. "Are you guys feeling it now? The sense of something calling for help coming from all around?"

"Hum?" Rean and the others remembered Kentucky mentioned that before. They focused their senses around and after a while, they finally noticed it. "Indeed, within the danger, there is a call for help coming from everywhere around us."

More Spatial Gates continued to appear one after another. Other Semi-Celesitals from other races appeared, and that included Semi-Celesitals of the Vruve Organization. Within them, Leandro was present. He was the guy who took the Foreign Foundation Fragment away after reaching a deal with the twins, just for the Fragment to suddenly disappear on his way back to the Vruve Organization.

He looked around and quickly spotted Rean and Roan as well as Kafan. His expression turned dark. The Foreign Fragment was of extreme importance for the Vruve Organization, and they already lost two of them. In both cases, those twins were involved. He quickly approached, demanding an explanation. "What did you do?"

Rean and Roan looked at each other, pretending to be confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Don't fuck with me! Where is the Fragment?!" Leandro's voice increased as more members of the Vruve Organization reached his side.

Of course, the other realms didn't like the Vruve Organization, and the Vruves kept themselves isolated even after the news of the invasion. That said, the Vruves were definitely not allies, so the other Semi-Celestials from other Realms gathered around Kafan.

"Leandro, aren't you getting a little too upset? How about you explain to us what seems to be the problem?" Gragatou spoke, standing by Kafan's side.

Leandro noticed the many eyes from the various experts around him. He wasn't afraid of anyone, but it wasn't like they could just buy a fight against everyone else, either.

Rean continued his pretense. "Sir, you saw it yourself! We gave you that Foreign Fragment. You checked it closely, and we saw when you sent it into your own Pocket Dimensional Realm. Only you have the power to do anything in your own Pocket Dimensional Realm. Could it be you brought it out, and someone stole it from you? If that's the case, you are blaming the wrong people."

"It was taken directly from my Pocket Dimensional Realm!" said Leandro, visibly affected.

Yet, the other Semi-Celestials and Divinity Realm experts looked at him with doubt. "That is impossible, no?"

It was then that Rean had an idea.
