Death… And Me

Chapter 3267: More Than Meets the Eye

?

"What?!" Aby finally could tell what was missing. "It's gone! It's gone! I can't feel my connection with the hidden side of space!"

"Hidden side?" Rean and even Roan got curious. "Was there such a thing?"

Aby understood it spoke too much. However, it also lost its ability, so it mattered not at the moment. "How did you do that?! How could you steal my race's ability?!"

Rean sighed. "Well, there are some things you can't understand, so we won't explain. Instead, why don't you tell us about this hidden side of space you mentioned."

"Fuck you! Give it back! Give my innate ability back!" Aby was fuming. How could he just accept it? There was no way they would happen.

Roan snorted. "As if it would be that simple. We need it, so it will stay with us for the time being. Consider this payment for your nice attempts to break your part of the deal."

Well, the truth is that neither Rean nor Roan knew how they could put the beast's ability back in its soul. In the end, even if they wanted to do it, they couldn't.

'Sister Orb,' Rean sked through their connection. 'Is it even possible to give his ability back?'

[Sorry, but I also don't know. This is beyond what I have access to. I do know the system can interfere with the Abyssal Paths, but that is it.]

Aby still didn't want to let it go. "What you did is nothing compared to what I wanted to do. I only wanted to escape and be free. I didn't want to do anything to you guys."

Roan didn't care. "And would we just believe that? Be a good little soul and give us a lot of Chaos Energy. That's all you need to care about for the next 1000 years."

He then smiled coldly. "Do that, and don't cause trouble. If everything goes smoothly until then, we don't mind giving your innate ability back."

"Are you for real?" Aby asked. "Why should I believe you?"

Rean glanced at Roan. Give it back? Roan definitely knows they had no idea how to do such a thing. Chances were it wasn't even possible. Of course, Rean wouldn't say that out loud. Instead, he joined Roan's farce. "He is right. Don't forget, while you are here, we could use our Pocket Dimensional Realm to force your soul to go unconscious, and then you would generate Chaos Energy for us forever. We wouldn't even need to give you anything back. Yet, here you are, awake and speaking to us."

Roan continued. "You have no choice here. You can believe us, or you can't. Regardless of what you decide, you won't be allowed to leave this place for a thousand years. We will definitely hold onto our part of this deal. We are getting our Chaos Energy, so who cares?"

Aby understood he truly had no say in there. So, for now, he could only force himself to trust the twins' words. "Fine! A thousand years! But you must give it back to me when you set me free!"

The twins nodded. "That's more like it. So, should we just give you some corner to stay in?" "No," Aby immediately refused. "I can't do anything in this soul form of mine. Until I'm out, I'm powerless to control space or energies. That said, I will take the other part of your offer."

"Other part?" Neither Rean nor Roan understood which part it was. "What are you talking about."

"You just said it. You can keep me unconscious for a thousand years, can't you? Then that's what I want." Finally, Aby explained his desire.

Of course, Rean and Roan didn't expect such a request. "Are you sure? Aren't you afraid of us doing something to you while you are asleep?"

"Hmph!" Aby wasn't an idiot. "And me being awake would change anything? I'm at your mercy in this Pocket Dimensional Realm. In that case, I might as well not see the time passing. By the time I wake up again, a thousand years will have gone by. I've spent countless years in that prison. A thousand years is nothing."

Roan accepted that without thinking twice. He only allowed it to wake up because he knew Rean would not let it happen with his softness. "Then you can go back to sleep already." Roan waved his hand, and the power of the Dimensional Realm acted on the Abyssal Soul. In the next second, everything went black to the Abyssal Soul, and it just floated there, not moving anymore. Only Chaos Energy gently emanated from it, slowly increasing as it recovered from the system's action earlier.

Rean couldn't help but sigh. "I truly don't like this kind of thing."

Obviously, Roan was the opposite. "You always want the most annoyed routes. That was his request, and this state won't cause him any issues. I do understand him, although I wouldn't give up that easily."

[What do you want to do with his Chaos Energy. It isn't really a good thing to just let it spread on its own, especially if we have low-level experts in here.]

"Move him to an empty corner and reserve ten or so kilometers as a restricted space. Keep all the chaos energy he emanates there, and don't let it spread to the rest of the Dimensional Realm," Rean spoke, having already thought about this issue before.

[Okay!]

*Zush!*

In the next moment, Aby's soul disappeared, just to appear somewhere else in the Dimensional Realm. Since the twins were now in the Transition Realm, it had increased in size even more, now having more than a hundred kilometers in radius. A simple ten-kilometer was easy to arrange.

[It's done.]

Roan nodded and turned his attention to the outside. There, he could see Foliana, Diliy, Rifindio, and Renata on the bridge. Marev and Karev left already, finding a room for themselves to pass the time. Roan paid special attention to Renata, though. "Can she really be connected to this?"

Rean knew what Roan was speaking about. "Perhaps. I mean, isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

Roan's eyes narrowed as he couldn't be certain. "I guess we will find in time."

One thing was weird when Rean and Kentucky accepted Renata's deal... Roan never came out

to complain or stop it from happening, which was unthinkable. Sure enough, things weren't

as simple as Renata speaking to Kentucky about the Divine Camazotz. There was much more involved in that decision.
