Death… And Me

Chapter 3762: Point Out The Way

Roan flew around in different directions, just making sure that he wouldn’t go back to the same point. As one can imagine, there is no such thing as up or down behind the fabric of space; gravity is also not a thing here. For weeks on end, Roan flew around and tried to open Spatial Gates to the outside.

He wasn’t aiming randomly. He was using the points Kentucky mentioned to have some subtle differences in the Space Flow. Well, with all the Spatial Chaos going around, there wasn’t really any place with a stable space to start with. Kentucky was simply pointing out places where that chaos didn’t seem as strong or not as weak.

Still, the ancient runes that sealed the fabric of space appeared every single time, making Roan’s attempt to open a passage to the outside world fail.

Meanwhile, the rest of the twins’ group were thinking about a solution.

"What about having Roan throw himself into a Spatial Storm?" Foliana gave an idea.

As mentioned in the past, using a teleport in the middle of a chaotic space would most likely fail. If you didn’t die to the Spatial Storms, you would likely be thrown into a random corner of the Universe. There was no way to tell where.

However, Roan definitely had the defenses to resist the Spatial Storms around, so as long as he appeared somewhere else in the Universe, it would be better than staying here.

[That won’t work.] Unfortunately, Sister Orb refused that idea. [You saw those runes sealing the fabric of space, didn’t you? For your plan to work, there would need to be a connection between the inside and the outside. Usually, that connection is always there, even if your idea ends up sending Roan to a completely random place. But because of those runes, if they are runes at all, the connection doesn’t exist. All Roan will accomplish is to be sent to some random corner that is still behind the fabric of space.]

"I see..." Foliana went back to think.

Some days later, Tanxan also came up with his own idea. "You see, the Spaceship you found me back then had Interdimensional Thrusters. Those things were so powerful that they allowed us to travel between Universes. As you know, the distance between Universes is ridiculously much bigger than the size of the Universes themselves. Perhaps if we build another one of those thrusters and use it, maybe it will carry enough power to pierce through the fabric of space and the runes."

Rean thought about it. "But do you even have the blueprints to make one of those. And if you have, would we have the necessary materials to build it? Those thrusters were absolutely enormous, having hundreds of kilometers each. Last but not least, don’t forget that what powered those thrusters back then was a Fragment of a Universe Foundation."

"This..." Tanxan looked around the materials that Rean had gathered over the years in the Werdlem Empire. No doubt Rean had many things. It’s just that most of them were not gathered with the intent to make such a thruster. So... yeah. Rean definitely didn’t have the materials. "Forget it. I do know how to build one, but even if we had the resources, I don’t know if the Divine Stones we have here in the Dimensional Realm would be enough to power such a thing."

Rean smiled, not minding it. "I’ll make a note to try to acquire a spare Universe Foundation Fragment in the future."

"Don’t talk as if you can find one in every rundown shop you pass by," Tanxan sighed.

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in response. "Believe it or not, we did find one in such a place. It was actually a roadside stall, though. As for the fragment, it had lost most of its power as well."

Foliana saw the time passing and couldn’t help but feel worried for Roan. "Do you think Roan could die outside if we don’t find a solution?"

"That does sound very tempting, doesn’t it?" Rean thought about how great it would be if Roan were just gone. "Sigh... forget it. Calina would probably skin me alive if I let him die."

’And I’m very tempted to cut your head too, but here we are...’ Roan’s voice echoed inside the Dimensional Realm. Then, he assured Foliana. ’As for death, no, there is no risk of it happening. If things go south, I can just destroy my own body and soul outside. I have some of my blood inside the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, so my body would simply reform together with my soul there.’

Rean hopped Roan wouldn’t need to resort to that. "But that’s a system ability, and it takes almost 34 years to refresh. Besides, you would just get trapped inside with us. The Dimensional Realm’s Light Element won’t last forever, so once it is gone, we will be trapped here, only going out for a few minutes before we have to kill ourselves so our bodies will reform in the Dimensional Realm again. Then we will have to wait for the system to refresh the skill. That won’t work."

’I’m aware,’ Roan understood that.

"Roan, found another point with a weaker presence of spatial powers," Kentucky suddenly said, although he didn’t hold much hope. "Go there and see if you can open an exit to the outside."

Roan ignored Rean and moved to the location Kentucky mentioned. The shadows continued to avoid Roan, with just one or another coming to him. By now, Roan already understood that the shadows that tried to enter his body were those with a power equivalent to Elemental Space Realm Experts, even if they didn’t attack. Those below that level were the ones avoiding him.

One thing made him confused, though. Kentucky said back then that he felt the presence of a powerful shadow, which was definitely a Divinity Realm equivalent existence. Yet, he hasn’t found a single shadow equivalent to a Space-Time Realm, let alone a Divinity Realm.

Of course, Roan didn’t have an answer. Leaving that aside, Roan made a cutting motion with his hand, and the space contorted for a split second, just for the runes to appear once again and prevent a Spatial Gate from opening. "Same shit as ever."

However, it was at that moment that Kentucky felt something else. "Wait, try it again!"

Roan didn’t understand why, but he tried to open the Spatial Gate once more. The same result followed. "What is it? Did you find a flaw?"

"No," Kentucky’s attention shifted from that point to somewhere else in that chaotic space. "The runes are blocking us as always. What I felt was a connection, a very subtle one. Roan, follow my lead and just fly nonstop. It is very, very far."

Everyone in the Dimensional Realm looked at Kentucky. They also had their Divine Senses outside, but they didn’t feel anything.

"Are you sure?"

Roan stopped them. "It doesn’t matter if he is sure. We don’t have any other alternative at the moment. Point out the way, Kentucky."
