Death… And Me

Chapter 4531: Old Idea

As Roan flew away from the area, he also contacted Rean through their soul connection. ’You’re seeing what is happening, right?’

At that moment, Rean was in the Arrays Guild Repository, using Antohio’s help to look through the arrays the guild had available. Lukay and Flugel weren’t too far away either, waiting outside the room because neither of them had the authority to enter the repository. Rean didn’t particularly mind their presence, though.

No one knew that Rean’s group had their RCs, and Rean was using his mind to send everything he was seeing to Flugel as well. He wasn’t analyzing the arrays himself, however. As mentioned before, he couldn’t be the one to directly give Flugel the Anti-Godly Pressure Arrays. Flugel and the Besgol Region would have to obtain those on their own. Otherwise, the Pink Faeries in their bodies would definitely end them.

As Rean looked through the arrays’ information, he also answered Roan, his eyes narrowing slightly. ’Yes, I’m seeing it. From the looks of it, the Womb has locked target on you.’

Roan nodded. ’Thanks to your airplane, I’m flying high enough that I shouldn’t attract too much trouble while fleeing this place. However, Mario and Revana can clearly see the Navy-Blue Threads trying to enter our bodies. That means anyone else watching from outside will be able to see them as well.’

Roan quickly considered the implications before speaking. ’Your airplane’s Light Bending Arrays only bend the light reaching the airplane itself. They can hide the Threads that have already entered the airplane, but they can’t hide the ones coming from outside. Anyone watching from a distance will see those things converging on the plane and then disappearing, all while leaving a very obvious trail behind.’

’Yes, you’re definitely going to attract a lot of attention, so try to stay as high as possible while flying back to Dlaval City,’ Rean said. ’Still, what will you do once you get here? The Godly Creatures won’t be able to follow you too close to the city since there are too many cultivators around, but you will basically become the center of attention because of those things following you.’

’That’s why I’ll need your help,’ Roan began to explain. ’Meet Celis near the central district. You two are going inside, and then meet Kentucky near the Rosvelt Sect.’

Rean narrowed his eyes at that. ’Why in Rosvelt?’

Celis, who had been following the conversation through the soul connection, immediately explained. ’The energy readings we got from the semi-Dimensional Realm. Kentucky is right there in Rosvelt at the moment, and through him, Sister Orb managed to detect the location of the Womb. It’s inside Rosvelt.’

Sister Orb could feel what any member of the twins’ group did because she was also connected to all of them through their soul connection. That meant Kentucky’s presence inside Rosvelt had effectively given her a way to pinpoint the Womb’s location once Celis gave her the readings and Kentucky got close enough.

Rean pondered that information for a moment. ’Alright... it is in Rosvelt. That’s nothing too surprising. We already considered that the biggest power in Woster would likely have something to do with it. However, that place is filled with Law Gods. What exactly do you need the three of us to do there?’

’There is no other way,’ Roan continued. ’You three must find a way to distract the Womb so it loses sight of me before I get to the city. These Threads are attracting the attention of all the Godly Creatures around me, so I’m bringing quite a big mob toward Dlaval under the current circumstances. If we don’t interfere with the Womb’s targeting, the number of creatures following me will only continue to increase.’

’That’s where I come in,’ Celis said. ’I now know the energy being used by the Womb to control the Threads, so as long as I’m close enough to the main source, I should be capable of scrambling its senses. If I can interfere with the energy at the source, it should lose sight of Roan for a while. After that, Roan can simply use your Body Transformation Technique to completely change his constitution again.’

Rean understood the plan, but there was still one thing he was puzzled about. ’What about that couple with you? Mario and Revana, right? They can’t use my Body Transformation Technique.’

’I can’t do much about it,’ Roan said. ’At least I’ll release them in Dlaval City, so they should still have a chance.’

Rean faintly smiled. ’I thought you would say that. However, there’s no need to leave them to likely die. Check your Spatial Ring. You should find a few bracelets in there.’

Roan narrowed his eyes and immediately checked his Spatial Ring. After searching through the various items inside, he found the bracelets Rean was talking about. ’Weren’t these together with the other trinkets you gave us to carry around? The ones that were supposed to help share the weight and carry some of the things from the airplane?’

’The bracelets can do more than that,’ Rean pointed out. ’Have both Mario and Revana wear them.’

Roan took out the bracelets and handed them to the couple. "Put these on. They should help with those things attacking us."

Mario and Revana didn’t think twice before putting them on. They were still able to see the Navy-Blue Threads trying to enter their bodies, so they had no reason to question Roan’s instructions when they knew he was trying to protect them.

Roan’s attention, however, remained on Rean. ’Alright, they’re wearing the bracelets. What now?’

’Once Celis scrambles the energy of the Womb, tell them to channel their Godly Energy inside the bracelets. Those bracelets should be able to hide their real aura and energy signature,’ Rean explained. ’They won’t be able to completely erase their existence, of course, but they should be enough to make the Womb mistake their energy signatures for something else.’

Finally, Roan understood what those bracelets were. ’Wait, aren’t these...’

’Yes,’ Rean confirmed. ’They’re pretty much the same as the bracelets I created back in the Werdlem Empire, although these have far fewer features.’

’I used my free time to make some new ones after coming to the Celestial Plane. It’s just that, instead of hiding someone’s identity from the Werdlem Network, these only change one’s aura and energy signatures. Nothing else.’

I was planning to have them for the future if we required fake IDs in a system similar to the Werdlem Empire. Woster doesn’t use any aura- or energy-based identification system anyway, so using them shouldn’t cause any problems for Mario and Revana.’

Roan still had his doubts. ’But will changing their aura actually make the Threads leave their backs?’

Rean was confident in his answer. ’This isn’t the Werdlem Empire. That Womb’s method of identification has been running for who knows how many years without receiving a single upgrade. Aura and one’s energy signature are the only two things I can think of that the Womb could use to target someone over such a huge distance.’

’Don’t forget, someone might be using the Womb’s power to target you, but they can’t change what the Womb itself is capable of. Its abilities are beyond their power to alter.’

Roan could only trust that Rean’s theory was correct. It wasn’t a perfect solution, but it was certainly better than simply abandoning Mario and Revana to fend for themselves while being targeted by the Womb. ’Fine.’
