Death… And Me

Chapter 1547 From Other Continent

Chapter 1547 From Other Continent

"What is it?" Roan was obviously interested in any details of this quest.

Havek then explained, "The deadline for failure. You have six months to complete it. Doesn't that mean that in at most six months, someone would succeed in escaping this Upside Down World? Of course, the mission objective had never said that it was the case, but it's probable, right?"

Havek looked at Rean after that. "Tell me one thing. If you haven't joined the Formation Masters of the purging organization, how long do you think they would have taken to complete the formation?"

Rean pondered over it for a bit before answering, "It's hard to tell. They were stuck at a specific part of the project where the power condensation runes weren't good enough to support the formation's shooting parameters. However, if they solved that problem, it wouldn't take more than a month or so to get it to work, even if just barely stable."

Havek continued from there, saying, "With that said, there's a good chance that they might have made a breakthrough in the next few months and activated the formation in six months' time."

Rean understood where Havek was coming from. "You mean that since the times match, it must be related to them, is it?"

"Half of the reason, yes." Surprisingly, Havek wasn't done yet. "The other half is my own side."

"What do you mean?" Roan asked, interested.

Havek then explained, "Simple. My formation will definitely take at least one year and a few months to be complete. As I mentioned, I can't guarantee this is the real reason. Maybe this system of your selected six months because it thought it would be fastest that someone would come out, including me. But I would bet on the fact that I'm not the target. The only doubt is whether the mission objective really means any escape method or not. This is quite confusing, but I find it hard for it to be a problem related to me."

In the end, it was a bet. They could let Havek finish everything and hope that it wouldn't affect their revival of their Nascent Souls. From what Havek said, it was indeed unlikely that his method was the cause for the system's quest. On the other hand, was it worth the risk? After all, it meant several decades of delay if they were wrong.

It was then that Rean got an idea. "You know what? There's an easier way to confirm whether Havek's formation is responsible for the quest or not. I just have to destroy the formation back in the purging organization. If the quest concludes with that action, then Havek is free to create his void tunnel formation. If not, we can continue this discussion later. After all, we're just making blind guesses right now."

Havek saw no issues with it. "As I mentioned before, I will need at one year and something to finish my formation. Even if Rean helps me, I doubt the time would reduce to less than a year. You have more than enough time to carry out your plan while I do mine. Just don't forget that I would rather use your guaranteed escape method." It was then that Havek understood. "Oh, I see... that's why you don't want to tell me about your escape method. It's part of the mission objective as well, the not letting anyone escape part."

Roan nodded. "True, but let's talk about that later. For now, we need to see if Rean can stop the purging organization from achieving its plans. Who knows? If destroying their formation ends the quest as Rean suggested, we might as well use our method instead of Havek's to let everyone escape."

Rean was happy to hear that. "Great! In that case, let's go back."

*Pah!*

*Ouch!*

Roan suddenly slapped Rean's backhead after that. "Are you an idiot?"

Rean obviously didn't like that, responding, "Why did you hit me? Are you looking for a fight?"

Even Havek was confused by that. Did Rean say anything wrong?

Roan then pointed at Havek and said, "Did you forget the main reason why we looked for Havek?"

"Oh!" Only then did Rean remember their reason for finding Havek in the first place. He had been so focused on the system's quest that he completely forgot about it. Soon after, Rean looked at Havek with some hope in his eyes, asking, "Havek, do you know about anyone else from Sunkan Planet? Truth be told, you're not the first person from there that we found to have become a spirit. Our little sister, Rana, also became one here in the Realm of Gods. She's now a Fairy."

Havek was surprised to hear that. "Really? I didn't expect that. Until now, I thought it was just a coincidence."

"Coincidence?" Rean and Roan asked back. "What do you mean?"

Havek then explained, "That's because I do know of another person from our Sunkan Planet. He just so happened to become a Sea Chilling Spirit, just like me."

"Really?" Rean was happy to hear that. "Could it be that everyone from Sunkan Planet became Spirits?"

Roan wasn't as interested in that, though. "Who's the person you found? Could it be it was someone we know?"

"I don't think so," Havek explained. "To be honest, it wasn't someone I knew either. I only found out he came from Sunkan Planet because we were born almost at the same time, and we both had our memories. When we asked around if someone knew anything about the place we came from, we noticed that we were the same."

Rean was disappointed to hear that, hoping it was some other familiar face. However, Roan expected as much. "Well, it was already a miracle we found two people from Sunkan that we knew in a row. How big is Sunkan? It's obvious that finding unknown people or demon beasts from there is a lot easier than known ones."

Havek agreed with Roan, saying, "Considering just how much bigger the Realm of Gods is, it really is quite difficult to find others." Havek then talked about the guy, telling them, "Anyway, his name was Zangron, someone from the Flaxin Empire. In the end, he was from a completely different continent."
