Death... and me

Chapter 3084  New Form

"Sealed Primordial Beasts?" Rean and Roan were taken aback. The system ignored their shock and continued. [The Primordial Beasts have been around since the start of time. A total of ninety-nine exist in the Great Void, the Charybdis Queen being one of them. At the moment, twelve of these beings can be found in the Werdlem Empire. They are also the reason for the stability of the Werdlem Empire's Bubble.]

[Objective: Free the other eleven Primordial Beasts from their Spiritual Prisons.]

[Clue: The power of the Celestial Soul System will be necessary for the next ones. Earning more Celestial Points and improving the system and the hosts themselves is highly recommended.]

[Reward: To be calculated.]

[Time Limit: Unlimited.]

Roan snorted, not interested at all. "Hmph! Fuck this shit. Who will go around freeing whatever? Let's just keep our focus on leaving this place."

Rean couldn't agree more. "First of all, the Werdlem Empire isn't really causing trouble to anyone outside. Why would we try to cause trouble for them? They isolated themselves exactly because they didn't want to fall against anyone, which is quite commendable, in my opinion."

*Pin*

[Quest Completed: Help free the Charybdis Mother's Soul from the Spiritual Prison.]

[Calculating Reward...]

[17 Celestial Points have been added to the hosts.]

[New upgrades will be added to the Celestial Soul System's Upgrade List.]

The twins nodded. "Now, that's a lot more useful."

The system finally went silent, giving Sister Orb the chance to talk. [Is it really okay to ignore the system's quest, though?]

Roan, who already turned around and began to make his way back to the World Splitting Sect, spoke through their connection. 'Don't forget, we only helped the system back then because we would die if we didn't do so.'

Rean, who dragged Yuan with him, agreed with Roan. 'That also saved our families and friends, so there was a good reason. Did you hear the system at all? It said that the Primordial Beasts are responsible for the Werdlem Empire's Bubble Stability. This Plane where the Werdlem Empire exists is very important for them, so imagine how they will take it if we try to get rid of it? Our puny Lisan Universe will stand no chance if they find out about us and come for our heads. We don't even know if Lisan survived after the end of the war to start with.'

[Well... I just don't think the system would create such important quests for no reason. Soul Gem and his friends threw us into this place, probably thinking about the same thing. I think there is a connection there.]

'If there is, I absolutely don't wanna know,' Roan said before stepping into the teleport formation and disappearing.

Rean was already flying through the skies, pulling Yuan with him. 'They better be ready for the time we come back, actually. If Soul Gem is still there, we are absolutely giving that guy a beating. We just won't kill him outright because bringing us here also saved our lives, so there is that.'

[Well, I said what I had to say. That's ultimately up to you two. I still think the Destiny Attraction Ability will somehow force us into all of that.]

Rean and Roan couldn't help but show dark expressions. The Destiny Attraction Ability... They know it is still active and is working at full power. Just how much shit have they been thrown into ever since they arrived on this planet? They are still on a Mortal Planet, for fuck's sake! Perhaps by the time they reach the Divine Realm, the system will ask them to destroy the great void and save all the universes in existence from some ridiculous danger or whatever.

Rean then stopped by the border of the Saramina Sea, landing on a beach and using his Light Bending Skill to conceal himself and Yuan. "Seems like Yuan is almost finishing."

Yuan had been in that state ever since he absorbed all the Bloodline Essence from the Charybdis Queen. However, it was even more than just that. The Charybdis Queen is a Primordial Beast, according to the system. Besides, the Bloodline Essence had Bloodline Runes, something Rean didn't even know existed before. He couldn't even imagine what kind of change it would cause to Yuan.

Suddenly, those same runes that had been running around Yuan's body stopped. Then, their image began to disappear until only Yuan's Horned Cloud Shark form remained. It was as if Yuan hadn't changed at all... for a second.

*Grummmm...*

Following that, Yuan's body began to grow in size exponentially. Two times, three times, four times...

Rean nodded, already expecting such a thing. 'Tana's Golal Shark Form is already enormous, and she has only a hint of the Charybdis Bloodline, and that isn't Bloodline Essence. Yuan will definitely become enormous...'

Rean was right, Yuan kept growing until he reached a size of almost eleven times his original one. That wasn't all, though. His body began to change as well. His fins transformed into bluish tentacles while his body also took the same color. No one would ever believe Yuan was a Horned Cloud Shark if they looked at him. Finally, Yuan opened his eyes, trying to make sense of what happened. "This was... intense..."

Rean, who looked like an ant in front of Yuan, couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha! Bro, you became as ugly as hell!"

Yuan was taken aback and used his Spiritual Sense to see his entire body. "Holy shit! I'm enormous! I'm even bigger than Tana now, and she is at Stage Eight! No, wait! Who is ugly? You are ugly! Any Sea Demon Beast who looks at me will feel nothing but respect!"

Rean shrugged. "Yeah, yeah, I know. For Demon Beasts, bloodline is everything. Besides, looking intimidating is even better, and you are definitely intimidating. Still ugly, though." Rean turned around while glancing back at Yuna. "The only question is whether Tana will like this new you or not."

Yuan's blood froze for a moment. "I... don't want to go back right now...
