Death... and me

Chapter 2864: Restoration

"This... is an enormous Pocket Dimensional Realm..." Gragatou couldn't help but comment. He had his Divine Sense expanded to the maximum, but he still couldn't see its end, and there wasn't anything blocking his Divine Sense at all.

The Integration Pillar was no more. It had disappeared together with the Fragments and was now part of the completely fixed Universe Foundation Pillar.

At first, Kafan questioned Roan if he really wanted to bring Gragatou and Huban inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. After all, even if they noticed Roan had a lot more to do with the reparation, there were many more secrets inside.

Nonetheless, Roan decided to do so. The main reason was that now the Universe was fixed. He reached his primary objective. The very reason for the Soul Gem System's existence was this objective, and it was now completed. As for the transformation the System went through, he didn't care that much anymore.

"Hum? Senior Gragatou, Senior Huban! How come you are here?" Rean's voice echoed in everyone's ears. Rean didn't expect Roan would bring them inside.

Gragatou looked back at him with Huban. They weren't very certain why they were brought either. "We wish we knew the answer to that."

Roan ignored that and called out. "Sister Orb, where are you? Show yourself."

*Zush!*

The black and white orb instantly appeared in their midst. [Here I am. You brought visits, so I was hiding.]

Gragatou looked at Sister Orb and enveloped his Divine Sense around the Orb. Nonetheless, he couldn't get any reads from the Orb. It was as if it wasn't even there. "What an interesting item. Is it an Artifact Spirit?"

[Hum... you weren't wrong there.]

Roan nodded. "If you think about our Universe as a huge artifact, then you are right. She is an Artifact Spirit."

Rean talked to Roan through their Soul Connection. 'Is it really okay to talk to them?'

'Master Kafan seems to trust them, so why not? We finished our objective. Even if we die or the system gets destroyed now, the Universe will not collapse anymore,' Roan explained. 'Well... that's true.' Rean accepted it in the end.

"The... entire Universe?" Gragatou and Huban were taken aback. "Would you mind giving us an explanation?"

[Oh, let me. We have done this so many times that I even prepared a full Divine Sense Message with many details.]

Rean and Roan nodded. "Then show it."

Gragatou and Huban were immediately filled with a huge amount of information through Divine Sense. Even as Semi-Celestials, they found it quite hard to organize everything in their minds for several minutes. Well, the shock they felt by the time they finished understanding the whole context was obvious.

"What a ridiculous, overpowered system!" Gragatou marvelled as he looked at Sister Orb. He didn't doubt the information. After all, Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky were the living proof of its abilities.

"Everything makes sense now," Huban agreed with him. "No wonder these four are so many times better than anyone else. They are pretty much cheating!"

"I won't deny that, hahahaha!" Rean laughed after hearing Huban's words. "It truly helped us a lot."

"This is a good thing." Gragatou understood this much. "It will give us a huge advantage when the Garisan Universe attacks."

"We already are making it very difficulty for them," Romario commented. "With the Universe merged back together, the barrier around the Chaos Origin Source has strengthened many times. There is simply no way for them to go around us and try to take it anymore. If they want to acquire the Chaos Origin Source, they will need to first get rid of all opposition in our Universe. Removing the source will be a length process that will need many years of work."

Kafan and the others were happy to hear that. "Naturally, we will not allow them to do that. We are a lot closer to Soul Gem's plan to become a Vassal Universe."

Soul Gem could see it happening. "Gragatou. We can do it now. At the very least, our chances are much higher."

"Anyway," Roan continued. "I just included you two in this conversation because I wanted you to know what we are capable of."

Gragatou and Huban nodded. Together with Kafan, the twins' connection would definitely be the greatest asset. After all, their connection works over the entire Universe. With Rean in one place and Roan in another, they can access those two different parts of the Universe through the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was absolutely gigantic, so they could literally move entire armies in a matter of seconds! Moves that would usually take days, weeks, or even months, depending on the size and distance.

"It is good that you two understand," Roan faintly smiled. "Now then, I'll send you two out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. You can organize any future plans to deal with Garisan with our abilities in mind."

"Already?" Gragatou was taken aback. He wanted to learn more about the system.

[Little boy,] Sister Orb knew what he wanted. [If you think this system could help you reach the Celestial Realm, you are mistaken. It exists as it is today because of the twins. Don't come up with any funny ideas. Your best chance to reach the Celestial Realm is still to acquire information from Garisan. Concrete information is much better than this system.]

"Sigh..." Gragatou was indeed thinking about that. "Fine. I will contact you once I'm back in the Realm of Gods."

Huban followed suit. "I'm going back with you."

After speaking for a while longer, Roan sent those two outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. They had the twins' number in the communication system, so they could call anytime as long as the twins were within the communication system range.

[Phew...] Sister Orb relaxed. [Rean, Roan, I told them everything, but only to the point where the Universe joined back. I haven't told them anything related to the system's transformation after it was concluded. Also... it is not over yet.]

Everyone looked at Sister Orb. "What do you mean?"

*Pin!*

Suddenly, the system appeared again.

[Universe Balance Restored.]
