Death… And Me

Chapter 2440 Last Chance

Chapter 2440 Last Chance

On their way out of the Universal Transition Organization, Kentucky couldn't help but comment. "They accepted this bullshit reason of yours? Anyone could tell that you were hiding something."

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "I made it look like I was hiding something on purpose too."

Kentucky and Essefy looked at Rean. "Why?"

"Because it would be meaningless to try to pretend otherwise," Rean answered. "There was no way I could bring you two out while meeting them at the same time. And if you are thinking I should have just brought you two out without making myself present, that would be even more suspicious. After all, everyone knows you two are part of my group. Even an idiot would be able to connect your sudden leave with me."

"So that's how it was," said Essefy. "What about when you decide to go back to the other side of the Universe? Are you planning to abandon Nolui and the others?"

"Of course not!" Rean immediately shook his head. "They are our companions, aren't they? How could I simply leave them behind to die? Don't worry, though. The Death Spirits won't do anything against them. Right, Anfrou?"

Anfrou narrowed his eyes. "Don't act as if we are some kind of friends or anything. I'm only doing all of this because Uncle Kafan ordered. I wasn't here back when the extinction sphere events happened, but I read about it. I don't trust your living races."

Kentucky and Essefy looked at Rean, confused. They didn't know anything about the past of this side, after all. Rean bitterly smiled and used his Divine Sense to explain everything that happened so far. Only then did they understand why Anfrou wasn't very happy with living beings like them. After all, the Living Beings tried to get rid of the Death Spirits in the past.

Rean then patted Anfrou's shoulder. "You say that, but aren't you treating your own race with just as much contempt? Death Spirit Copies aren't the same as real Death Spirits like you. However, they do possess a soul and mind of their own. Shouldn't you recognize their efforts that keep this side of the Universe secure?"

"Hmph!" Anfrou snorted. "Soul of their own? They are just tools we are using to keep this side of the Universe safe. They should thank us, the real Death Spirits, for them to even be alive. If not because of us, their souls would have been destroyed or turned into a Soul Devil. They better work till they disappear to pay for the magnanimity of us real Death Spirits."

"Sigh..." Rean shook his head. "To think that senior Kafan would have such a trash of a nephew like you... No wonder he said we could teach you a lesson if we wanted."

Anfrou looked at Rean and coldly smiled. "You, teach me a lesson? With this puny Peak Elemental Space Realm of yours? Do you even know the difference there is between the Space-Time Realm and the Elemental Space Realm? Just shut up and point the direction you want to go. I have all the information here with me, so I can bring you anywhere."

Rean smiled and finally asked. "Do you know a planet that goes by the name of Earth?"

Anfrou closed his eyes for a moment, seeming to be doing something with the Death Energy around him. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes again. "There is a total of 143 planets that call themselves 'Earth' in the Universal Transition Organization's database. Which one do you want?"

Rean was taken aback. But when he remembered they were talking about a whole half of a Universe, that number didn't seem that big. "Errr... just one second. I'm sure the planet had a specific number." Rean quickly asked Roan in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm before returning his attention to Anfrou. "Oh! I got it. It's planet number VWT19832."

"That makes things a lot easier," Anfrou nodded, satisfied. In a few moments, he found that planet and where it was located. "Alright, come with me."

Right after, he opened a Death Door and entered inside. Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy followed right behind before the door closed and disappeared.

A few days' worth of time later, another Death Door appeared in midair. It opened, and sure enough, Rean's group came from inside it. Once out, they noticed a planet in the distance with a familiar blueish appearance. Rean immediately identified it as he had seen its pictures too many times. "It's Earth! To think I'm finally back!"

A few seconds later, another seven Death Doors appeared around them, from which seven other Death Spirits, this time copies, came from inside. Pretty much all of them had some weird forms, one being the famous skeleton with a black robe and a scythe often seen in Western movies and stories.

One must remember that Death Spirit Copies are influenced by the beings' thoughts of what 'death' should be. Thus, these Death Spirit Copies' appearance now that they were close to Earth.

One of the Death Spirits approached Rean's group, feeling nervous. "Who are you? How can you use the Death Door?"

Anfrou snorted before taking out an amulet from his Pocket Dimensional Realm. As soon as he did so, those Death Spirit Copies seemed to lose their power to think and stood there, doing nothing. "As if I would waste my time talking with these trashes."

*Zush!*

Suddenly, Roan appeared outside, looking at Anfrou with a cold expression. "Put this thing away."

Rean didn't expect Roan to appear, though. "Do you know these Death Spirits?"

Roan shook his head. "No. But they should be the Death Spirits taking care of this planet at the moment. The problem is not that. The problem is Anfrou's device. It is not just preventing these Death Spirits Copies from doing anything; it is also destroying their Death Energy. They will disappear soon if this continues."

Anfrou didn't seem to care, though. "So what? We have countless more of those from where they came from. Stop wasting my time and go do whatever you want on this planet. I'll wait here."

Roan moved forward after hearing that. "Last chance. Put this thing in your hands away."
