Death… And Me

Chapter 2672  I Don't Remember

Those weren't news to anyone. As the twins absorbed the Purple Crystal back in the cave, the information about the plans for a full attack on the tower rapidly spread to the experts who made their way closer to the tower. Those who didn't want to have anything with it had long since left, which left only those who wanted to enter the tower to seek treasures or more Chaos Laws to help with their Laws' comprehension.

The weaker experts were not present. Those ones were still collecting the Chaos Laws items far away from the tower. That left only experts in the Elemental Space Realm and above, which were still a few hundred of them.

As the people spread to prepare for the attack, Kafan took the chance to come talk with Roan. Of course, he used Divine Sense for it. 'So... were you able to prevent your memories from resurfacing?'

Roan glanced at him and shook his head. 'I have awakened all my memories as Lolio. However, I'm not Lolio. I guess even you didn't expect this, but Lolio awakened as a separate consciousness. I sealed his consciousness with Rean's Light Element so that he wouldn't disappear. Later, I'm throwing him into a Puppet.'

'What?!' Kafan was shocked by that news. 'I thought...'

'I know what you thought,' Roan cut him. 'I'm not Lolio, the end. Now, that doesn't mean I have a lot to complain to you. Even though Lolio's memories are clearly separated from my own, I know them all. I saw very well how you almost wiped out this entire planet.'

Kafan still had a surprised expression, but he managed to recover a little. 'Sigh... Yes, I committed a huge sin back then. You already know I'm one of the oldest Semi-Celesitals in existence. Even back then, I was stuck in the Semi-Celesital Realm for a very long time already. I couldn't hold myself back in the end. I wanted to give that try; I wanted to reach the illusory Celestial Realm. It was all due to my greed.'

Roan went silent for a second before continuing. 'However, I'm not the one to blame you. I don't know what I would have done if I was you back then. Besides, it was also clear in Lolio's memories that you still cared deeply about him. I guess that's also the reason why you cared so much about me as well.'

Kafan didn't deny it. 'I did, and I still do. However, I'm not an idiot. I know that Roan is NOT Lolio. You two had different lives, different memories, and different paths at different times. I care about you as much as I care about Lolio. So much so that I couldn't settle my mind around awakening Lolio's memories or not. After all, it would have been all too easy to simply shatter that crystal I gave you to force Lolio's memories to awake.'

'But you were also afraid of doing it, weren't you?' Roan asked, seeing through the lines. 'Yes,' Kafan didn't try to hide his thoughts. 'I also had other fears. Would Lolio forgive me? I doubt so. Also, what about Laweia? She is dead, so would he want to keep living after finding out about it? I didn't want to see Lolio awakening just to take his own life away.'

Roan then spoke of the time Lolio awakened in his sea of mind. 'I talked to him... a lot. I sealed his consciousness not just because he would disappear if I didn't but because he wanted to disappear as well.'

Kafan heard that and felt even more shame. 'I knew it... All because of me...'

However, there was one thing Roan had to ask. 'When I was sealing Lolio, I told him that since he was able to reawake, why wouldn't Laweia? I could feel the hope germinating in his consciousness when he heard that. But... you just said Laweia is dead, which brings us to my next question. What happened when you brought Lolio and Laweia's bodies into the Chaos Origin Source? Or better, what happened with you as well?'

After Kafan heard that Roan got Lolio's memories back, he already expected that question to come up at some point. 'So you figured out that place was probably the Chaos Origin Source, uh? Well, where do I start-'

'Wait!' Roan stopped him, though. 'I'm sure you can also feel Bunbun's presence nearby. I'm not the only one interested in it, so include him in our Divine Sense conversation.'

'Does he know about you?' Kafan asked back.

Roan just nodded.

'I understand...' Kafan could only accept it.

Hidden somewhere nearby while using Chaos Laws to escape everyone's perception, Bunbun oberved all the groups making their preparations and kept special attention to the twins. It was then that Kafan's voice echoed in his mind. 'Roan told me you also wanted to hear what happened after I entered the Spatial Distortion. I already intended to tell you back in the ruins, but you sent me away. Would you hear it now?'

Bunbun narrowed his eyes. Yet, now that he knows Lolio is alive, his anger isn't as huge as before. 'Fine... Let me hear it.'

Kafan didn't waste time. 'Alright, I will also include Rean, Kentucky, and Celis since it is pretty obvious you all heard the whole story.'

Well, Rean was hearing it anyway through his connection with Roan, which obviously meant Sister Orb heard it. Only Celis and Kentucky were really added. Naturally, Celis and Kentucky's attentions were easily picked.

'Back then, I truly thought Lolio and Laweia had died,' Kafan started. 'It was all because I wanted to enter that place. Be aware that we didn't know about the Chaos Origin Source back then, so I only saw the place the tower came from as a location that could possibly allow me to reach the Celestial Realm.'

Kafan continued. 'However, It turned out that I didn't enter the Chaos Origin Source. Instead, I ended up in a different place, a place no one had access to. And there... I met the Universe Sentience.'

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis immediately turned their attention to Sister Orb inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

[Hey, don't look at me! I don't remember shit!]
