Death... and me

Chapter 2889: Statue

Outside the Universe...

"Get out! Get them out now!" Flavio screamed with all his might, scaring all his subordinates out of their minds. Just now, he saw the Lisan Universe Semi-Celesitals' strength increasing by a lot. They used the advantage they got after Roan trapped three of their members to launch a powerful combined attack.

They obviously knew that their own strength would skyrocket at that moment in time. The only Semi-Celesitals from Lisan to be oblivious about why they got that strong were the Vruves. Of course, they weren't idiots. Looking at Dalquiel and Black Locust, they understood what had happened. Nonetheless, it wasn't like they could go out of their way to steal the Devils and Angels' treasures.

The Semi-Celestial Battles weren't the only ones being completely one-sided. With Rion at the head of the offensive, Divinity and Space-Time Realm enemies were dying even faster. Rean and Roan were especially surprised by their own power.

Rean and Roan have the purest Light and Dark Elements in the Universe, and the same goes for their Yin and Yang energies. They also had absorbed the Celestial Laws of Light and Dark. There wasn't a single being in this Universe that had their strength increased more than Rean and Roan. Or, to be more specific at this moment, Rion.

Flinyu looked at Rion's fight and couldn't help but feel some fear. His Master, Gragatou, didn't seem to be any stronger than Rion. Yet, Rion was only in the Peak Stage of the Divinity Realm, just like him. He wasn't a Semi-Celestial at all. 'Monsters...'

Rean and Roan know that they can only keep the Unbalance Domain working for twelve minutes with their Celestial Points. Let's not forget the Unbalance Domain costs one Celestial Point every ten seconds. Besides, they didn't intend to use all their 73 Celestial Points. They would surely give Garisan a fatal blow today. However, there were no guarantees Garisan wouldn't come back to try again. They had to have Celestial Points in reserve in case that happened.

'Gragatou, three minutes!' Rion's Divine Sense Message reached Gragatou in the middle of the battle.

Gragatou nodded and quickly contacted all experts from Lisan. 'The enemy is retreating with everything they have. Do not hold back! Kill, kill, kill even more! We need to get rid of them all! None can escape!'

Right after, he announced a reward. 'For those who have the most kills will receive extra time in the Cultivation Sacred Land and direct support from me.'

The eyes of all experts lit up, and they went into a frenzy. An enemy that had no intention to fight and was much weaker was just too easy to kill. Most Lisan Universe experts threw their caution to the wind and pounced into enemy ranks. The death toll increased even more.

*Zush!*

Suddenly, Luan appeared in the path most of the Garisan Unverse were using to escape. The Semi-Celestials had been held back, so there wasn't anyone here to help these experts. He waved his hand, and suddenly, another five beings appeared. They all had small bodies, furred skin, and long ears. Each of them was holding an item that contained extremely concentrated Chaos Energy and Laws. Without a doubt, they were the Loporrits!

Bunbun took the front and shouted. "Let's earn our race our rightful place in this Universe!"

In the next moment, the Loporrits joined the fight, each of them with a power equivalent to Peak Stage Divinity Realm experts. They couldn't face Semi-Celestials anymore after their bloodline was changed. Their power while controlling Chaos Laws was slowly diminishing, too. However, they could still hold their own against weaker experts. A hundred years, a thousand, ten thousand from now, that won't be the case anymore, but that didn't matter. They were needed at this moment.

Using the power of the Chaos Laws and Energy, the Loporrits managed to block the retreat of a huge amount of those experts, including various Divinity Realm experts. Rion and the others arrived a moment later the massacre continued.

Back where the Semi-Celestials fought, another three of them were taken down. Gluclol was now fighting three Semi-Celestials from Lisan Universe, Toval and Xude from the Vruves as well as Cligon from the Spirit Races. He tried to flee, but with the interference of the Werdlem Dark and Light Treasures, even that became a monumental task.

Finally, Glucol gritted his teeth and took out a small gray statue from his Pocket Dimensional Realm. His heart pained as he looked at it. However, as important as it was, his life was even more. Without thinking twice, he sent his Divine Origin Energy inside, and the statue activated.

In the next second, the battlefield seemed to freeze. Space-Time Realm, Divinity Realm, Semi-Celestial Realm... It didn't matter. The moment that statue began to release its power, absolutely no one there could move.

Gluclol sighed in relief, and his eyes turned cold. "You forced me to use my most cherished treasure. The number of lives I took and the dangers I faced to gain this statue can't be counted, and it can only be used once! Now, because of you, I will lose it, and I doubt I will ever put my hands on one again. For that, you will all die!"

He looked at Toval, who was closest to him, quickly slashing through Toval's Dantian and Soul! Both were completely destroyed without being able to put up any defense. Toval died in battle just like that.

Gluclol killed Toval and relieved his frustration. Nonetheless, he knew what he had to do. He completely ignored the other two Semi-Celestials who were fighting him and turned his attention to the distance. There, he spotted Dalquiel, who was holding the Heaven's Gyroscope. Not too far away from him, Black Locust controlled the Underworld Relic. He would first kill those two and take their treasures. Only then would he use the rest of his time to kill the rest of the Semi-Celestials.

*Zush!*

Without anyone to stop him, Gluclol flashed to Dalquiel's side like a ghost! His Saber came down, aiming to destroy Dalquiel's Soul and Dantian as well before taking the Heaven's

Gyroscope. However...

*Clang!*

His Saber was blocked by a Sword and a Scythe at the last moment. Gluclol's eyes opened wide, never expecting anyone on this battlefield other than himself to be able to move. Only Celestial Realm experts should be able to counter the statue's power, and even they would find it very hard to do so. Yet, Gluclol was looking at a Peak Divinity Realm expert moving as if he wasn't affected at all.

Naturally, this expert was none other than Rion!

Going back a few seconds in time, all experts on the battlefield were frozen in time together. However, there was one exception...

[Warning! The Power of a Universe Owner has been detected.]

[Title Universe Owner extra hidden effect has now been activated.]

[Hosts have been shielded and can move freely.]

[Enemy power saved in the system memory.]

Rean and Roan... or Rion, for that matter, only stopped moving for a split second before he was released. Rean and Roan moved Rion in the direction of where that power came from and

saw Gluclol holding the small gray statue.

'What the hell is that?!' Rean couldn't help but ask through their connection.

'Didn't you hear, idiot? That statue seems to have the power of a Universe Owner. To think it could stop the time over the entire battlefield. Even the Semi-Celestials seem to not be able to move against it...' Roan commented.

When Gluclol killed Toval, the twins also understood what he would do next. They couldn't allow Dalquiel to die or to lose the Heaven's Gyroscope, and since they were the only ones capable of moving, they had to be the ones to intervene. Fortunately, Gluclol truly didn't expect anyone to be able to move, so Rion managed to reach Dalquiel at the last moment and

save him.

Now... in this time-frozen battlefield, only Rion and Gluclol could move.
