Death… And Me

2737  What Do You Think?

"Who the hell are you?" Futula asked, still circulating her cultivation and ready for a fight.

"Ahem! I haven't introduced myself yet, even to your Uncle," Rean started. "My name is Rean Larks. I just so happen to be the one who got your uncle free by breaking one of those Islands of the Natural Formation."

Futula's mouth twitched. "So it was you who brought this trouble for me. Give me a reason to not kill you here instead."

Rean pointed at Olvris. "He tried it a few minutes ago. It didn't end well for him."

Futula looked at Olvris with a shocked expression. "They are only Peak Stage Spa-Time Realm experts. Uncle... you have truly grown weak..."

Olvris' mouth twitched. "Like hell, it was that simple! I was just taken by surprise, nothing else. If we truly fight, do you think I would lose?"

"Guys, guys! This is not the important part here, right?" Rean quickly intervened again.

'Wasn't it Rean who brought it up?' Everyone else thought at the same time.

Rean just mentally smiled. Redirecting some of the anger to him was part of the plan. "Anyway, let me talk about my idea. The reason the Leviathans don't like what Futula did was because she gave up the Leviathan's sacred duty of protecting this treasure of yours and spreading the race's bloodline, right?"

Olvris nodded. "It goes deeper than that, but I can accept this resume."

"Then it is quite simple," Rean continued. "Futula, you just have to prove that what you did wasn't the wrong decision."

"P-Prove... it wasn't wrong?" Both Futula and Olvris were taken aback. Of course, Olvris immediately scoffed at the idea. "That's impossible. Listening to you is a waste of time."

Rean smiled at him. "Wow! Do I feel a tinge of fear... fear that she might prove you wrong?"

"WHAT?!" Olvris was enraged once again. "You are looking for death!"

"He's right there," Rean pointed at Roan. "Trust me, that's the last thing I would waste my time looking for."

What the hell is he even talking about? Olvris and Futula thought at the same time.

Futula was still confused, though. "I don't think what I did was wrong to start with, but I doubt the Leviathans would ever accept it. How exactly would you want me to prove to them I was right?"

Rean quickly used his Divine Energy and dragged Sonzei to his size in a flash, much to the young man's shock. "Well, what better way than this guy?"

Sonzei felt like crying. Why was he being thrown in the middle of this death zone?

Olvris calmed a little and looked at Sonzei. "What's the meaning of this?"

To which Rean quickly answered. "He has the Leviathan's bloodline, but it is still considered diluted in your eyes, right?"

Olvris nodded. "Yes. His bloodline is indeed a lot thicker than the other ants down there, but is it still a joke compared to real Leviathans."

Rean's smile increased even further. "The reason his bloodline, as you say, is diluted is because he also has a humanoid bloodline. However, this is not a bad thing. The main advantage of the humanoid race is its adaptability. They are a race that doesn't really excel in any specific field, and I can confirm that since I'm also part of the humanoid races. However, we can bring the best out of everything we have. That's why the humanoid races are in control of one of the four parts of the Realm of Gods."

Rean then put his arm around Sonzei's shoulder while pointing at his face. "That said, this guy here is definitely stronger than a Leviathan of the same level. Not only that, he can use his bloodline to his greatest advantage, something a normal leviathan won't be able to do."

Sonzei was absolutely terrified. Stronger than a real Leviathan? How? That's impossible!

He wasn't the only one to think that. Even Futula was no different.

"Hahaha!" Olvris burst out in laughter. "What an absolute joke! He, stronger than a Leviathan at the same level? It seems like you truly don't understand the power of a Pure-Blooded Leviathan."

"And yet, the four of us were able to fight you to a standstill even though we are a whole realm below. Of course, you would eventually win, but would you really say we are weak?" said Rean, shrugging his shoulders. The field immediately grew silent. Even to this moment, Olvris found it hard to believe some Space-Time Realm ants were able to keep him at bay. No, there was also Luan, who wasn't a Space-Tiem Realm expert yet. Let's not forget that Olvris was on a battlefield that gave him the absolute advantage as well with all that water, right in the middle of the Mirror Sea.

"I don't know what kind of tricks you used, but I'm not idiot enough to not know that your group is a lot more complicated than you look," Olvris spoke. "I refuse to believe there are many out there like you, if there are any at all. Just the fact you were able to destroy one of the Natural Formation Artifacts and open a passage to my world is proof of that."

"Then you have no reason to refuse, right?" Rean spoke back with a smile. "Let's try it out. You will find a Leviathan with similar cultivation to him. Sonzei is at the Late Stage of the Saint Realm, so a Leviathan of the same level would be a Stage Seven Demon Beast."

Rean also added. "Of course, I'm well aware that Demon Beasts still haven't acquired sentience at Stage Seven. Only at Transition Realm are they finally able to think for themselves. You might think this would be an unfair advantage to judge the strength of both. In that case-"

"No," Futula cut in. "Different from the Realm of Gods, the Demon Beasts of our world acquire Sentience at Stage Five, not Transition Realm."

Rean was even happier to hear that. "Seems like your world has similar properties to the Mortal Realm. There, Demon Beasts also acquire sentience at Stage Five. Very well, what do you think?"
