Death... and me

Chapter 2774: We Can't Leave Him Like That, Right?

Kafan, Gragatou, and Black Locust were the closest ones and immediately teleported to Soul Gem's side. Their faces looked terrible, having not noticed the attack at all. Leandro was the next one to appear, looking equally frightened.

"What the hell was that?!" Kafan exclaimed.

"Fuck! Soul Gem is dead! His soul is already gone, destroyed instantly!" Gragatou was at a loss.

"Was it the Vruves?!" Black Locust cared more about who attacked, though.

Leandro quickly shook his head. "We are all Semi-Celestials. Do you really think we couldn't have moved without literally none of you noticing? We are not gods."

"That power..." Sophia arrived as well, talking about what she felt. "The Spatial Power and Laws inside it. It was like nothing I ever felt before. It far surpasses anything I could ever achieve, even if I go all out."

Kafan and the others narrowed their eyes. Indeed, they all felt the same thing. That's why they were frightened. Even the Semi-Celesitals didn't have the least bit of confidence they could notice and dodge that attack from earlier.

Back outside the Universe, near its borders, a man sweated profusely as he kneeled on the ground and gasped for air. It was none other than Flavio Trok're, the Celestial Realm expert from Garisan Universe. He couldn't enter the Lisan Universe. However, he had been watching everything happening until now.

When Soul Gem took out those devices and spread them around, he had a bad feeling. He checked with the other members of his Spaceship who knew more about the Grape Vortex. Yet, none of them could tell what Soul Gem was trying to do. Well, they knew Soul Gem was doing something to stop the Grape Vortex, but not how exactly.

When Soul Finally built the main device that would control everything, Flavio made the decision to intervene at the most crucial point. He used his Celestial Realm power to bend the laws in his favor and forcefully pierced through the barrier of the Universe.

The Universe immediately tried to repeal him, but Flavio's power was fully concentrated in that one strike. In the end, the Universe only managed to weaken the attack by a certain degree but couldn't stop it. That's the attack that hit Soul Gem.

Flavio fell down as a result as well. As mentioned before, a Celestial Realm expert was strong, but he couldn't possibly go against an entire Universe. He probably would need a few days to recover. Flavio then looked at the monitor and could see that, together with Soul Gem's head, the equipment Soul Gem was using was also destroyed. "Hmph! Ants should just sit down and wait to be stomped."

Back in the Lisan Universe, the Semi-Celestials were lost at what to do when suddenly, Rean appeared. "Ahem... Would you guys mind getting out of my way? We can't leave Soul Gem like that, right?"

"Rean!" Kafan was taken aback. "What are you-"

Rean simply took Soul Gem's head and attached it back to his body before his hair changed into a Black and White Color. "This is a terrifying Spatial Power... Well, Roan's Dark Element can't be beaten, though."

Rean first drove Roan's Dark Element into Soul Gem's body and head, using his Light Element to prevent the Dark Element from damaging them further. As he did that, he spoke. "Did you know? After severing someone's head, a person doesn't die straight away. He will get unconscious within a few seconds, and irreparable brain damage happens after 3 to 6 minutes."

Roan's Dark Element quickly destroyed the Spatial Powers and Laws within the wounds while Rean continued to talk. "Soul Gem, however, is a cultivator. He can definitely survive for a while longer. It's just that the Spatial Powers of the guy who attacked forced him to seal his soul."

"Seal his soul? What are you talking about? His soul is gone!" Black Locust spoke back.

However, Rean shook his head as he finished dealing with the Space Power and Laws left in the wounds. His Light Element then took its place and began to connect the head back to the body. The wounds quickly closed at a pace visible to the eyes. "You can't feel it because you aren't as sensitive as me towards Light Elements. His Life Force is still there, although very feeble. Soul Gem is a smart guy. He noticed at the last moment that he was going to die, so he instantly sealed his soul so that the Spatial Powers and Laws wouldn't destroy it."

Sophia was the one most impressed. Sophia is a Semi-Celestial Archangel Beast, and the Light Element is her affinity. How come she can't feel it? Sophia quickly got closer and closed her eyes, focusing her all on her senses of Light Element. Only then did she

notice something, something very, very hidden within Soul Gem's head. "There seems... to really be a soul in there." She spoke with wide eyes. That was a testament that Rean's Light Element Affinity was even better than her own!

"Where are you, where are you..." Rean murmured, and he scanned Soul Gem's head. Finally, he found what he wanted. "Oh! There you are, the gap to break the seal. You truly aren't called Soul Gem for nothing. What a beautiful soul-sealing technique. You even left behind a way to unlock the seal. Truly impressive."

*Plin!*

As if some kind of glass broke, the seal crumbled as Soul Gem's soul expanded once again. Soon, it took its original form, although Rean could tell it was quite damaged.

*Arghh...*

Soul Gem opened his eyes and grunted as he held his hands against his head. "Fuck this shit! What the hell was that just now? Who attacked me?"

Everyone was shocked out of their minds. Soul Gem... was truly alive again. No, because his soul had not been destroyed in the first place, he couldn't really be said to have died. They all looked at Rean, who had his hands on the back of his head.

"That's what you get for trying to look cool. Pay more attention to your surroundings next time," said Rean with a smile before his hair returned to its normal white color.
