Death… And Me
Chapter 4257: He’s Already Gone!
There was a strange crystal, very similar to the Godly Creatures Crystals, but that obviously served another purpose. He didn’t remember seeing anything like this in the Besgol Network, so he contacted the other three, sharing the image with them with Sister Orb’s help. ’Have any of you seen this thing before?’
Celis and Kentucky, who were still in the sect, couldn’t recognize it. ’Is it a Godly Crystal?’
Rean also didn’t know. ’It does look like a Godly Crystal, though. Did you find it in one of the Spatial Rings?’
’Yes,’ Roan confirmed. He didn’t like that thing. It gave him a bad feeling. It was basically his instincts talking, nothing else. He then increased his speed and returned to the sect.
In his house now, Roan took out the crystal, and at that moment, Sister Orb contacted him. [Now, that one is interesting...]
Roan and the others got curious. ’Do you know what it is? Wait, how do you know it at all?’
[I don’t know what it is called,] Sister Orb explained. [But I do know what it does, thanks to your new cultivation technique.]
[That crystal isn’t perfect. Roan, just focus on the cracks, and you should be able to feel it as well. You will recognize what it is just like I did.]
Roan nodded and followed Sister Orb’s words. Sure enough, it was very, very faint, but he could feel it. ’Godly Pressure? Is this some kind of Godly Pressure storage device?’
[No,] Sister Orb corrected him. [But you aren’t far off. This thing in your hands is a Godly Pressure concealing item. It absorbs Godly Pressure and seems to have a limit.]
’Concealing?’ Kentucky was puzzled. ’Why would you conceal Godly Pressure? There is no Godly Pressure in the Regions due to the Sacred Relics. First of all, other than the natural Godly Pressure outside, only Godly Creatures emit- Ah...’
At that moment, Rean, who was going to the Arrays Guild, noticed a commotion. Many cultivators began to pass by him in a hurry, everyone going in the same direction. The news of whatever was happening seemed to be spreading like wildfire.
Roan, Celis, and Kentucky also noticed that the same news seemed to have reached the sect, and they even saw two Zone Gods Demon Beasts flying past their heads. Flying uses a ton of energy, so to make two Zone Gods take flight straight away, it had to be something important.
Finally, Rean checked his RC, and in the Official Besgol News Channel, he found the answer. Rean also darted away, throwing the idea of going to the Arrays Guild to the back of his mind for the moment. He followed the commotion while Roan, Celis, and Kentucky just watched everything he was seeing through Sister Orb or the twins’ connection.
It didn’t take long for Rean to arrive at the epicenter of the commotion, but he couldn’t go further. That’s because the experts of the Godly Subjugation Guild and the Wangamiglia Sect were blocking the area.
"Stay away!"
"Passage is prohibited!"
"Anyone who doesn’t comply will be killed on the spot!"
These and many more warnings were being given. Kill on the spot... how many years has anyone talked about killing inside the Besgol Region?
Even Rean couldn’t enter, as everyone there was at least an Aura God or higher. Rean could only see the cultivators who were inside that zone running out before joining the crowd to watch.
All around, Rean could hear it.
"They found a Godly Creature!"
"What?! How can a Godly Creature be roaming inside?"
"It seems like it wasn’t exactly a Godly Creature, but something else."
"Uh? You aren’t making any sense."
"Anyway, something big must have happened for all these Aura Gods and Zone Gods to be here."
*BANG!*
Suddenly, an explosion of energy occurred. Even from very far away, Rean could barely see the figure of a black-robbed man sent flying into the skies.
Everyone was shocked at that scene, as you would never see a fight inside the Besgol Region. Various Zone Gods followed after that man, who tried to run away even more.
Too bad, though. His power is only in the Anchor God Realm. In fact, it was hard to understand how he was still alive with those Zone Gods attacking him nonstop. Anchor Gods are two entire realms below the Zone Gods, after all.
The fight didn’t last long, though. The guy was once again hit by the Zone Gods, and his body fell near the location where Rean was watching the event. With that many Zone Gods, the man was quickly taken down. Finally, the various Zone Gods surrounded the guy and sealed him, bringing an end to the event.
Everyone saw as the Zone Gods made a restraining circle around that guy before they began to walk away, making sure to be careful.
"Open the way, open the way!"
The Aura Gods, who were isolating the perimeter, shouted, and the crowd opened the space.
From the back, Rean watched the man that the Zone Gods had just captured with a weird and bitter smile.
However, the one who was likely the most affected by that sight was not even there. Back in the sect, Roan had a really ugly expression, seeing everything through his connection with Rean. He recognized the man who was captured by the Zone Gods! Roan stole his Spatial Ring!!!
After the Zone Gods took the man away, Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky’s voices immediately echoed back in the Great Void.
’SISTER ORB!’
[WHAT?!]
[Why are you calling me? I’m not the one who put that guy there! Hell, it was Roan who robbed form him! I have nothing to do with that at all!]
’Like hell you aren’t!’ Roan retorted. ’Is there such a fucking ridiculous coincidence?! The guy I just happened to rob was actually a Godly Creature, or something related to them! This fucking crystal was obviously being used by him so he could stay hidden inside our Besgol Region!’
Rean knew more. ’That’s not all. That guy wasn’t alive to start with. I have enough experience to tell that that man has been dead for a long time already. His body was being controlled. What did you get us into, Sister Orb?’
[Fuck! I did nothing!]
’It has to be the freaking Destiny Attraction bullshit! It must be! Why did you inherit that shit?!’
Sister Orb would be crying if she had eyes. If she inherited that, then she didn’t know!
[Alright, let’s ask Default! He made me the new system, didn’t he?! If you want to blame someone, blame him!]
’Ah...’
’Ah...’
’Ah...’
’Ah...’ 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
[Ah...]
Everyone’s expressions turned even uglier. They can’t contact Default anymore. After all, Default has already gone up to the Celestial Plane again!
’Well... Fuck!’
