Death... and me

Chapter 3168: Can You Really?

That hole in space and time shouldn't have appeared now. Yet, something happening in this Solar System seemed to have sped up the process.

No one came out of it, though. It stayed there, completely immovable. And because this was a location far from the planets of the Solar System, no one noticed its presence. Its disturbance over space and time was just too small to the point an expert would need to be at most a few meters away to even notice it.

If you looked from the outside, Void Tempering Realm and above experts would call it behind the Fabric of Space and Time, which wasn't completely wrong. It did look like a crack in space and nothing else, after all.

In there, a Dimensional Realm that had been there for countless years seemed quickly expanded. No, it was better to say that it simply revealed what was already there to start with. Was that place still part of the Mortal Realm? Perhaps it was part of the Divine Realm? Underworld? Heavens? Somewhere else? It was hard to tell. That's because what you had there wasn't Spiritual Energy, Divine Energy, or any of the other variations of cultivation energies.

Instead, it had another type of energy, a very old one, Chaos Energy! It's just that its concentration was truly, truly small, not even a thousandth of what the twins once felt on the Loporrits' Planet in the past, let alone what they had access to in the Chaos Origin Source of Lisan.

Inside that place, a very familiar event took place. A tiny semi-black hole suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It lasted for a second or so. Quite a few things happened in that second. First, it spilled out mangled pieces of what was once a Spaceship.

A few spots of the carcass of the spaceship also had pieces of flesh, blood, and bones. Whoever they were in the past mattered not. Just one thing was certain, they died extremely fast, without the time to feel pain. Not even their souls remained.

However, just as that semi-black hole was about to close, it also spilled out two bodies. One looked like a Ghost Snow Wolf, while the other had some traits of the Camazotz Bat Race. Those bodies weren't dead, though. As soon as they appeared outside, they opened their eyes and jumped back. Sure enough, those two were none other than Rean and Rifindio.

Rean quickly noticed that the space power holding him disappeared, pulling his Black Star from the Dimensional Realm.

Rifindio was no different. He summoned many of his Blood Spears as he returned to his Camazotz Bat form, looking at Rean and ready to attack.

However, both of them didn't forget what happened four hundred years ago. They were swallowed by that semi-black hole, which had just disappeared in front of them right now.

Rifindio focused on Rean but also spread his Divine Sense around. He soon found the remains of his Spaceship and what were once his subordinates and other experts from the Inquisition Hall. He didn't feel angry. He held no emotions for any of those experts who he barely knew at all. More importantly, he didn't recognize the place he found himself at the moment. Still, he was cautious, looking at Rean. "What did you do?"

Rean was at a loss as well, though. He didn't answer Rifindio, but his mind went into the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. 'Sister Orb, what happened?'

[I wasn't ready to hack the formation when he attacked you. In the end, I could only force it to overload and fall into a chaotic state. The fabric of Space and Time in the Mortal Realm is much thinner and weaker than the Higher Realms. So, when I broke that formation that controlled the space, everything collapsed. It seems like we were swallowed by that black hole... or whatever it was.]

Roan, Kentucky, and Zangeshu were also inside the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, confused. For them, barely a second had passed since Rean was taken into the black hole. They thought Rean would definitely die, but it felt more like a teleportation. One second, Rean was outside in the middle space; the next, he was sent to this new location.

Roan observed the outside and ignored the events. That Middle Stage Transition Realm Demon Beast took precedence. "Let's go out, Kentucky."

"R-Right!" Kentucky woke up from his surprise, and the two disappeared.

*Zush, zush!*

The two quickly appeared near Rean, increasing their numbers to three. At the same time, Rean's body changed, his Ghost Snow Wolf Features disappeared, and his aura went back to being a humanoid race's one.

Rifindio didn't feel the least bit shocked. He had said it himself. He knew Rean definitely had his companions inside his Pocket Dimensional Realm, and their appearance just confirmed his belief. "Hmph! So you were really hiding there, uh?"

Rean faintly smiled, but he didn't attack. "Kid, how about we put our weapons down? As far as I can see, this doesn't seem the time to fight each other."

Rifindio obviously noticed that. The place they found themselves in was strange. Far in the distance, some ruins could be seen floating in space. However, the ruins mattered little. What truly caught his attention were the space cracks.

Both the twins' group and Rifindio understood that they were inside some kind of Dimensional Realm or something like that. Yet, this place was extremely unstable. The shell separating it from the Spatial Storms outside looked like it could break at any moment. Rifindio didn't know where he was, but i was obviously dangerous. But then again, his cultivation advantage was enormous. He was just considering if he should first get rid of the twins and the big bird behind. "And what if I first kill you all and then look for an exit?" Kentucky snorted behind Rean and Roan. "Now, can you really?" His Regal Bloodline was immediately released at full force. So what if Rifindio had a Divine Camazotz Bloodline? It was still far inferior to his Regal Minokawa Bloodline, especially considering how thin it was.

*Ugh!*

Rifindio instantly felt the suppression of a higher bloodline over his body. "You!" He had felt this kind of pressure once, only once. It was when Triaglia, the Regal Camazotz Bat and this Universe's Owner, had made an appearance in the Supreme Palace. "Impossible!"
