Death... and me

Chapter 2861: It Has To Be Them

Once again, the world fell apart while the same barrier of White and Dark Light enveloped everyone. As it happened, Kafan and Romario's two groups on both sides still had to protect Rean and Roan from the collapse of space and time.

'Well, if there is one thing good about these Universe Restraints, is the fact anything that tries to approach us will definitely die...' Kafan thought as he saw the effects of the Universe Restraint around him dissipating once more. The Universe Restraint would annihilate anything in a fraction of a second, including a Semi-Celestial.

Time passed, and the veins on the twisn's bodies began to bulge as the pressure over their bodies increased.

[Integration Process with the Universe Foundarion Pillar in progress. Repair: 3%]

The system would also report the progress of the mending of the pillar now and then, giving Rean and Roan an idea of how things were going on.

Inside the Temporal Path, the Dimensional Realm of the Vruves wasn't doing any better. "What the hell is happening? Are we being attacked?" Tuana waved her hand and got rid of another spatial rift that appeared out of nowhere.

"No," Leandro was also there. "We are receiving reports through the Universal Thoughts Transmission Talismans. This is happening over the entire Universe, even the Mortal Realm is not safe at the moment."

Tuana narrowed her eyes. Even she couldn't tell what was happening. 'Could it be Garisan? Did they find a way to steal the Chaos Origin Source without coming inside?'

Suddenly, she received a report. "Everyone, Cabral contacted us."

Everyone in the room looked in the guy's direction. Cabral was the name of one of their many spies over the entire Universe. However, there was one thing special about him. Cabral was the only spy the Vruves had on the other side of the Universe, the same side Kafan and the Death Spirits lived.

"He said there is a monumental crack in space between both sides of the Universe, right inside the barrier that separates them. Inside, there is another Universe Foundation Pilllar, although that one is not as big as the real one."

"What?!" Tuana was taken aback. She had never heard about a Universe with two different Universe Foundation Pillars.

In the Underworld, the Devils also received reports.

"The Foundation Pillar, the cracks over it began to disappear. It is quite slow, but they are definitely being fixed somehow," said one of the Devil in the room.

Black Locust narrowed his eyes. "Kafan and Soul Gem are probably doing the fix they talked about. Still, they should have warned us about the consequences."

Sansara nodded and passed more orders to the Devils. "Keep protecting as many of our experts as possible. I don't care about the low-level Devils. Just make sure those at the Void Tempering Realm and above are kept alive."

"Understood!"

The worst place, without a doubt, was the Mortal Realm. The countless planets with living beings that didn't even know cultivation existed were being killed nonstop by the space and time collapse. Entire planets were being sucked into Spatial Rifts while the stars exploded one after another. It was pure chaos.

The only exception, however, was Planet Earth. Kafan knew that Earth was Rean's planet, so he arranged for one of his Divinity Realm Death Spirits to keep its solar system safe.

*Pin!*

[Universe Restraint Detected.]

[Cost to Resist: 1255 Points]

That was already the fifth Universe Restraint, and the cost to resist increased with each one that appeared.

The Destiny Points were taken away, and the barrier continued to protect the twins. The Universe's Restraint size also increased, now reaching hundreds of kilometers around them.

While it all happened, things seemed quite active outside the Universe. Flavio watched as the Lisan Universe's Barrier, which had been intermittent ever since he arrived, seemed to begin to stabilize.

"Do we know what is happening in there?" Flavio asked with a dark expression.

"According to our scouts, the entire Universe seems to be collapsing," one of the Garisan's cultivators answered as he combed through all the information.

"Collapsing?" Flavio snorted. "Look at the barrier of Lisan. Does it look like it is collapsing as well? This is no collapse, you idiot. Something is fixing it. Find who, what, and where!"

Even though Flavio said it, he couldn't do much. He was still deeply injured because of the Tribulation Energy. Flavio simply didn't have the energy to send one of his attacks inside the Universe at the moment. If he wanted to intervene with anything regarding this event, he would need to send his Semi-Celestials inside. However, his reinforcements were still far away. His number of Semi-Celestial subordinates went down by a lot after the first attack. They definitely would be at a disadvantage if they entered the Universe now. Besides, what if it was all a plot to lure his forces inside? He couldn't risk it.

Hours passed, the twins' bodies suffered more and more damage, and the Universe Restraints were already so big that everything in a light-year's distance was completely annihilated every time it appeared.

On Rean's side, he didn't even have the energy to use his Instant Recovery. Fortunately, he had Romario, an Angel, whose he taught the Instant Recovery skill. It was Romario who was mending Rean's body every single time.

On Roan's side, that job fell onto Kentucky. He wasn't as good as Rean or Roan, but he could still use the skill.

[Progress: 59%]

*Zush!*

Far from where the Universe Restraints were happening, an expert suddenly appeared and looked in the direction Roan was being protected. Initially, no one could tell why all of this was happening. However, the Universe Restraint was just too powerful and big now that a few eyes finally turned to that location.

The one who appeared this time was none other than Bracius, one of the Vruve's Semi- Celestial. "What a terrifying power. Even I would die instantly if I was inside its range."

Suddenly, the world began to collapse once again, forcing Bracius to turn around and flee. He opened a spatial gate and came out ever further away while looking at his leg. Just now, that world collapse destroyed his leg as if it was nothing. If he had been just a second slower, he would have died. Naturally, it was another Universe Restraint.

Bracius didn't pay attention to his body for longer, though. He could easily recover if he

wanted to. Instead, he took out a Talisman and sent a message before the Talisman burnt. "For a moment, I think I saw Kafan in the middle of this region... It has to be him and Soul Gem. That's the only explanation."
