Death... and me

Chapter 2765: Grape Vortex

Rean pointed at the construction in the distance. "Sir, you and I know that the experts of the other Universes were there on the Loporrits' Planet. They were also trying to enter the tower before we forced them to flee, which we found out to be a relic left behind by themselves. Which one do you think is more likely? We took the Fragment from your Pocket Dimensional Realm, which we all consider something impossible to do, or was it something they did?" "This..." Leandro was taken aback. Even the Vruves didn't have a method to touch someone else's Pocket Dimensional Realm, let alone the three Higher Realms. However, what about the experts from outside of the Universe? Couldn't they have a method for such? First of all, the Foreign Fragment was theirs to start with. It definitely looked a lot more likely that the invaders from other Universes did it instead of the twins' group.

The other Vruves looked at Leandro, having the same thought. That construction is the distance, that none of them noticed to be there before the sense of danger appeared, was a very convincing proof.

"Fine," Leandro's voice was laced with a hint of menace. "But if I find out you had anything to do with it, I'll make you pay. And I assure you, the price will be steep."

Rean nodded. "I'm happy that you understood. It was truly impossible for us to do such a thing. If we find a way to intervene directly with someone else's Pocket-Dimensional Realm, we will let you know. I doubt the experts from outside will tell us how to do it, though." And just like that, Rean pinned all the blame for the disappearance of the Foreign Fragment on the invaders from outside the Universe. He held absolutely no regret of his decision. 'You are becoming more and more shrewd,' Roan commented through their Soul Connection. 'I'll take that as a compliment,' Rean answered with a proud smile.

"Hey, guys," Sophia, the Semi-Celestial Angel, spoke. "We have that thing in the distance, but how come we can't see anyone protecting it? Where are the invaders?"

Everyone shook their heads. They had already checked everything around the construction, but there was nothing. No sign of any unknown expert whatsoever.

"Are they hiding?" Gragatou wondered

"There is a chance indeed," someone else said.

"We can't just keep watching. If it keeps absorbing more energy, what will happen? I'm not very willing to sit here to see the final result," Black Locust said, already preparing to move to the construction.

"Wait!" Gragatou stopped him. "It might be an ambush. We need to leave some of us outside in case something happens."

Black Locust didn't mind. "Fine." Right after, he looked at Sansara and Kilindou, the other two Semi-Celesitals of the Devil Races. "Do you want to go, or should I?"

"You can go," Sansara spoke. "I'll stay outside with Kilindou. Bring a few Divinity and Space- Time Realm Devils with you, just in case."

"Very well," Black Locust accepted and quickly gathered a bunch of Devils. Rean and Roan recognized a few of them as the Divinity Realm Devils from back in the competition in the Reincarnation Path.

Gragatou gathered with the experts of the Realm of Gods and did the same thing. In the end, they decided Gragatou and Huban would be going inside while Sofrixa and Himmel would stay out.

As for the Angels, Dalquiel and Naya'il decided to go while Sophia stayed out.

Last but not least, the Vruves also organized a party and prepared to go out, including Leandro.

Obviously, they all brought their fair number of Divinity and Space-Time Realm experts with them. Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis just happened to be within these groups.

'Rean, Roan, you shouldn't go,' However, Romario stopped them. 'It is fine if something happens to the others. But we must definitely not let anything happen to you.'

'Don't worry,' the twins commented, 'We have our way to escape if necessary.'

Romario wanted to say more, but the twins had already made their decision. 'Sigh... okay, then I'm going to. Keep your guard high.'

With all groups organized, they quickly moved to the construction in the distance. They couldn't open Spatial Gates, though. The construction was absorbing everything, even the laws, so the space around it was pretty chaotic. Fortunately, it was still within a degree that everyone could resist.

Due to the distance, it took another hour for them to approach the construction while flying as fast as they could as a group. Still, no one appeared to try to stop them, making the various groups suspicious.

"Look," Gragatou pointed out.

After getting closer, they noticed that the construction had countless entrances, which looked like beehives in their format. Each entrance absorbed a huge amount of Divine Energy, Elements, and Laws. A single one was already many times more powerful than Celis's best attempts.

"Let's get inside. Be careful."

A single entrance was several kilometers long, so they all decided to go through the same one. Once again, they found nothing to block their path. No defenses, no enemies, one the

construction itself, absorbing a ridiculous amount of energy.

Some of the weaker Space-Time Realm experts even had to more or less seal their bodies. Otherwise, the incredible suction power would rob them of their own Divine Energy in their Datians and Cores.

The groups quickly arrived at the other side of the entrance, getting inside the huge construction. There, they saw countless spheres, each of them of several sizes. Nonetheless, the smallest ones they could see were at least tens of kilometers big.

They were all semi-transparent. Inside, there seemed to be some kind of Spatial Effect occurring, like a maelstrom. All the energies, laws, and elements that were being absorbed from outside entered these spheres and circulated inside. Ultimately, they seemed to merge into a single type of gray energy before falling into the Spatial Maelstrom. It was impossible to tell what happened after that.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Romario remembered something. "It's a Grape Vortex!"
