Death… And Me

2708  The Hidden Plan

When Roan was guiding everyone to open the little hole to reach the Fragment, the hole Leandro saw wasn't the only one being made. Another one, behind Rean's hand, was also being made. It wasn't possible to look through the Purple Crystal due to the dense Chaos Laws and Energy inside it, so there was no way someone else could see that second hole.

Rean already had the item Kafan gave him, which was very small, even smaller than the Foreign Universe Foundation Fragment. One hole was made so Leandro would be able to see the Fragmetn at the center of the Purple Crystal. The other hole was made coming from the opposite side. As the little bead Kafan gave Rean was smaller than the Fragment, the Fragment itself served as a cover for the second hole.

The main point of the plan was to attach the item Kafan gave Rean to the Foreign Fragment without activating its ability to send the Fragment out of the Universe. At the same time, it had to be there without anyone noticing.

For that, first, Rean asked Roan to use his Chaos Cultivation to create a thin layer of Chaos Laws around the little bead. That way, the item would be attached to the Fragment but not really touching it. As long as the Fragment was within the Loporrits' World, that thin layer of Chaos Laws wouldn't disappear.

As for how to make it invisible, that was obviously achieved through Rean's Light Element abilities. He gathered enough Light Element in the little bead so that it wouldn't run out soon. After that, he activated his Light Bending Skill, making it look like only the Foreign Fragment existed. One might think that once the Fragment was out, Leandro would notice Rean's trick with his Divine Sense. However, that was not the case for a very simple reason, the Fragment's own Light Element! Let's not Forget the Foundation Fragments were full of Dark and Light Elements, just like the Fragmetn of this Universe. Rean's Light Element passed by as part of the Fragment's own Light Element, nothing else. The important part was that Leandro could confirm that the Fragment was real, so the rest didn't really matter.

Now, all the twins and Kafan had to do was wait! As soon as the Vruves exit the Wonderland, the Chaos Laws covering the little bead will disappear slowly. Roan believed that within a few hours, the thin layer of Chaos Laws and Energy around the bead would lose its power since there would be no more Chaos Laws and Energy to be absorbed. Naturally, the bead and the fragment would touch each other.

At that moment, it wouldn't matter anymore where the Fragment was located. It could be within someone's Pocket Dimensional Realm, in a separate plane, or any of the three Higher Realms. Even the other half of the Universe was no good. As long as it was within this Universe, it would be teleported out. Of course, this was only if the plan worked. In case it didn't, Kafan believed Leandro wasn't lying about their capability to seal the Fragment so it wouldn't affect the Universe. 80% chance was still a very good prospect in case the initial plan failed.

Kafan then looked at Sansara. "Well, time to go back to my Pocket Dimensional Realm."

Sansara was taken aback. He looked at the crystal, believing it was the secret to a breakthrough into the Celestial Realm. "Are you trying to keep the entire crystal for yourselves?" He asked with a dark expression. Even if he had no chance of winning, he couldn't simply give it up.

"It's fine, Master," Roan stopped Kafan. "Let him absorb some of the Purple Crystal as well. He will soon notice that it has nothing to do with breaking through into the Celestial Realm."

"Hmph!" Sansara didn't believe it. "Then I will take a look myself!"

No one stopped Sansara, who quickly touched the Purple Crystal. Immediately, he understood what Roan meant. The Purple Crystal was an extreme form of concentrated Chaos Laws and Energy. It's just that it was in a form where one could absorb it without any risks. For anyone below the Peak Divinity Realm cultivation, it was definitely a heaven-defying treasure. However, for a Semi-Celestial like him who had already merged his sublaws into their major Laws, it truly had little to no use whatsoever. Sansara simply had nothing more to comprehend.

"It can't be..." Sansaa looked downcast. "Why did we go through all of this then? We all thought the Chaos Laws could help us finally enter the Celestial Realm. And yet, even this Purple Crystal has no Celestial Laws within it."

It wasn't like Kafan didn't understand Sansara, so he decided to tell him the truth. "Do you want to know what happens to those who enter the Celestial Realm?"

Sansara's attention was picked. "You... what are you-"

Kafan raised his hand. "You don't need to know why I have this information. I'm the oldest Semi-Celestial, so I have my sources. All you need to know is this." Kafan then organized his thoughts and sent Sansara a Divine Sense Message. He even told Sansara that it was the Universe Sentience who told him everything.

Sansara didn't know what to say. "The... Universe Sentience. We theorized it did exist a long time ago, but no one really ever talked to it... And the part about being expelled from the Universe if you are successful..."

Kafan shrugged his shoulders. "I told you what I could. It is up to you if you want to believe it or not. Well, you Devils care little about others' lives, so you probably would have taken the chance to break through and left this Universe for good, right? I couldn't do it, though."

As Sansara thought about everything he just heard from Kafan, Kafan turned to Roan and the others. "Alright, the Purple Crystal is ours. What will you do?"

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
