Death… And Me

Chapter 2847: Silence

Chapter 2847: Silence

?

The last time such a feeling spread through the Lisan Universe, everyone in the Space-Time Realm and above felt it. That is because the Grape Vortex affected even the laws themselves. This time, however, Celestial Laws were involved, so only Semi-Celestials felt their presence in the underworld.

Kafan and Turen felt that as well, so both of them took out their communication badges and contacted all the other Semi-Celestials. After all, there was no doubt the other Semi- Celestials would think the Universe was in danger again, which wasn't the case this time.

As the Purple Clouds increased in the sky, various Spatial Gates began to appear far away. The first ones to arrive were obviously Black Locust, Kilindou, and Sansara. They are Devils and were in the Underworld to start with.

Following that, three Semi-Celestials of the Vruve Organization appeared near them. The Vruves lived in a gap inside the Temporal Path, so they only had to use the Temporal Path to reach the Underworld fast enough.

Finally, the Semi-Celestials from the Realm of Gods and the Heavens got there. A Semi- Celestial truly couldn't be underestimated. Even though most of them were in the other Realms, they only took a minute or so to arrive in this place, going through the Temporal Path.

"Kafan," Gragatou approached while looking at the Purple Clouds in the distance and the twins' group under it. "Is what you said true?"

Kafan nodded. Sister Orb wasn't there anymore since her existence was a secret, so it was said Kafan was the one who had all the information. He is still the oldest Semi-Celestial, so no one doubted he had a lot more knowledge than any other being... except Hyeoumu, perhaps. "Yes, I only heard about this once, way before I became a semi-Celestial myself, so you can guess how long it has been. It is called a Tribulation, and it is trying to kill my disciple and his friends."

Leandro from the Vruves also approached, nodding his head. "I'm surprised you have information regarding this."

Black Locust narrowed his eyes. "The way you spoke, it seems like your Vruve Organization knows something too."

Leandro thought about it as he watched the Purple Clouds accumulate. "There is no point hiding it since it is right in front of your eyes, not to mention Kafan knows as well. Kafan is right. That is a Tribulation. Even in the Vruve Organization, only Tuana and I know about it. If you don't wanna die, you must absolutely not get close to it, let alone try to stop it. That would be nothing but suicide."

"Hum? That's very nice of your Vruve Organization to warn us, don't you think?" Himmel, the Regal Phoenix, asked, feeling doubtful. "You didn't even show your faces when the Garisan Forces attacked."

Leandro snorted. "Hmph! Whether you want to believe or not is your problem. Why don't you give it a try and stop the Purple Cloud? I will put my pride as a Semi-Celestial on the line and give my word. I will definitely not intervene."

Himmel's mouth twitched. As if he would get close to that thing. Even from this distance, he could feel how terrifying those Purple Clouds were. Everyone there could.

"But why is it here?" Sofrixa, the Beholder from the Spirit Races, asked.

Everyone looked in Leandro's direction, including Kafan. Sister Orb only said that it was targeting the Twins as if it were a trial. And yet, even Sister Orb didn't seem to know why it appeared here.

The twins obviously noticed everyone in the distance, and thanks to Kafan, no one approached or tried anything. All they knew was that the power of the Purple Clouds continued to increase. "Ignore those guys. So, here's the plan. Kentucky has the highest defense among us. He will take the front."

Rean nodded. "My job will be one and one only. I will completely focus on healing Kentucky."

Kentucky was already crying, but he could only accept that he indeed had the highest defense. Even the twins' Stellar Bodies still couldn't match his Regal Bloodline. Not to mention, he was a Minokawa, a race that naturally had high defense. "Fine! In that case, I will leave the healing of any injuries to Rean. My focus will be full-on defense. All my Sky Energy, Laws, and Bloodline will be used to resist whatever is coming our way."

"In that case, my part in this is already decided," Celis spread several roots that attached themselves to Kentucky and Rean. Right after, thousands of Divine Origin Energy Cores appeared around him. "I will make absolutely sure you will not run out of energy."

"Say, Roan," Rean spoke with a doubt. "Should we perhaps merge into Rion for this?" "No," Roan immediately shook his head. "You heard Sister Orb, the Tribulation will be based on our strength. If we merge to reach the Divinity Realm, the Tribulation will be even stronger to compensate for it. We barely managed to train in that form, so we won't be able to extract our best in that way. Separated, however, we know ourselves very well."

Rean nodded, agreeing with Roan. "Sounds about right."

"What about you, Roan?" Kentucky asked. He, Rean, and Celis had obvious roles, but what about Roan?

Roan took a deep break as he brought out his White Star Scythe. "I will support Kentucky, trying to reduce his burden. I don't have as high a defense as him, but I reckon I'm not that far behind. Every time I reach my limit, I will retreat and heal myself on my own since I can also use Instant Recovery... just not as well as Rean."

"Besides..." Roan looked up. "Something tells me that this Tribulation isn't here just to test us. Why is it here? Is it truly just trying to get rid of us? I need to find the truth."

*Brummmm...*

The Purple Clouds had already reached tens of thousands of kilometers. And now, they started to form a vortex right above the twins' group. Purple Energy accumulated at the center of that Vortex, and Lightning Bolts began to dance all around.

It was then that everything went silent...
