Death... and me

Chapter 2798: Worth a Try

Flavio searched his memories about such treasures. It had been a long time since he heard about it, so it took some time for him to find it. "Right! Those treasures-" Yet, he immediately stopped his words, puzzling everyone in the surroundings.

"Do you know anything, sir?" Yanabu asked. Anything that could help them during the attacks was welcome at this point.

However, Flavio went silent, not answering the question. Everyone waited for a while until Flavio finally opened his mouth. "In any case, we don't have the power to launch another attack. Send some people inside to investigate. I want to know if they have any more of those monsters they used in the Foundation Pillar Battle."

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Flavio also added. "As for those treasures, make them the focus of the investigation. Try to find out how they obtained those two things. I want to confirm something, so I won't speak more than this for the moment."

"Yes, sir!" Everyone quickly went to work. On the same day, several small ships detached from the fleet, entering the Lisan Universe again.

Back in the Leviathans' Realm, the communication system was already working for everyone inside. Thanks to that, Rean, Romario, and everyone else were able to receive the news.

"Great! We managed to defend the first wave!" Rean couldn't help but feel ecstatic. "With what Kafan is saying, the Garisan forces should have lost almost half of their forces in these several months of battle. Holy shit! Hyeoumu got rid of four Semi-Celesitals on his own!"

Romario bitterly smiled. "I always knew that big turtle wasn't a joke, but to be able to kill four Semi-Celesitals. That makes me wonder if he isn't actually a Celestial Realm expert himself."

"I wouldn't say he is a Celestial Realm Expert," Roan, who had returned recently, spoke on the side as he read the news. "From what we saw back in the Grape Vortex, the Celestial Realm expert attack came from outside, and it still had the power to kill a Semi-Celestial inside our Universe. Soul Gem explained that the guy had to force his attack through all the resistance of our Universe, and it was still that strong. I can only imagine that Semi-Celestials are nothing but ants in his eyes. Hyeoumu killed four Semi-Celestials, but the reports say he got quite a few injuries that will take a few years to heal."

Rean nodded. "Semi-Celestials are Divinity Realm experts that failed to enter the Celestial Realm when the time came. They barely touched the essence of the laws. I guess we could say that Hyeoumu is a being that got much closer to the Celestial Realm than the other Semi- Celestials. It would make a lot more sense."

Roan put his communication badge away and looked at the two. "Alright, we gained some extra time. I doubt that guy called Flavio will send another attack before he can get reinforcements from Garisan again. You must finish this swap formation before that."

"It should be ready for a few tests in a few months at most. However, this is only our tenth fragment. We still need the other four," Rean spoke.

Turen arrived at that moment before speaking. "Because my real body was sent to fight at the Foundation Pillar, it did pass by the Temporal Path in the Realm of Gods, so we connected again and I got all my memories of my time down there. The Fragment I used to bargain with Black Locust and the others might still be attainable. The problem is the other two."

Rean, Roan, and Romario looked at him, waiting for Turen to continue speaking. "As you know, the Underworld Relic has a Fragment. Not only that, Heaven has a similar treasure capable of increasing the power of the angels. And guess what, it is also being powered by a Fragment. Now that we are in such a situation, I don't see how we can convince either the Angels or the Devils that we need the Fragments inside their treasures."

Everyone went silent. The very things that were helping protect the Underworld and the Heavens were the Fragments they needed to repair the Foundation Pillar. Let alone asking them to hand the Fragments over. If they were in their shoes, the twins definitely wouldn't give the Fragments away.

"I don't know why you are all so concerned about it." Suddenly, Kentucky landed near them. "A Universe Foundation Fragment is what they need to power up the Treasures, isn't it? Well, that is easy to solve. Did you forget? Each of those ridiculously enormous spaceships is being powered by a Fragment. Can't we simply acquire two of those Fragments and trade them with the Angels and Devils?"

Everyone looked at Kentucky as if they were looking at some unknown being.

"That can't truly be Kentucky, can it?" Roan asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"It is hard to believe, but he has been giving some good ideas in the past years..." Rean commented. "Perhaps his soul was swapped with someone else? Sister Orb, can you check to see if this is truly Kentucky?"

[It has to be him, no? The connection between you and him through the Soul Gem System happens, obviously, through the soul. If another soul was inside him, the connection would have been terminated.]

Rean, Roan, Sister Orb... they continued to discuss in front of Kentucky about whether there was something wrong with him or not.

"Fuck you all! Why, every time I have a good idea, you treat me like that?" Kentucky complained.

"History..." Rean, Roan, and Sister Orb answered at the same time.

"Fuck history!" Kentucky cursed.

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in response. "In any case, that was truly an amazing idea, Kentucky. Yes, we could use those Foreign Fragments to power up the treasures. The only problem is how we are going to obtain one... actually two of those Fragments."

Luan, who had been hearing everything on the side, suddenly raised his hand. "Uncle Rean, Father, the information says that Hyeoumu ate fifteen of those ships, doesn't it? Senior Kafan mentioned that Hyeoumu was going to use them to heal himself. Is it possible to convince him to give two of those to us?"

Everyone looked at Luan. "It is definitely worth a try!"
