Chapter 2115 One Month
"Is it really fine?" Rean couldn"t help but ask through their Soul Connection.
Roan had already decided, though. "Don"t get me wrong. I will help because I hate owing favors. However, that doesn"t mean I wish to die. Besides... It"s not like I"m uninterested in these Ruins. It is our chance to leave the three higher Realms for the first time, exploring the s.p.a.ce."
Rean nodded. "If that was what you decided, then I won"t say anything. It"s not like our plans changed anyway. If push comes to shove, we will risk it all by using the Circuitry Formation in a messed s.p.a.ce environment."
"That"s basically it," Roan agreed with him.
Of course, Rean still had another question. "You know, we can still pretend to not be able to balance our elements. If he sees that we are not in harmony, he might give up."
"But then again, he might try to kill us right here and now. Don"t forget. Angels are only merciful when talking to other Angels. It is a completely different matter to any other race," Roan discarded the idea straight away. "We will have more chances if we can drag it as long as possible."
"Alright, then, let"s show what is a real balance of Dark and Light Elements." Rean knew Roan was right and simply accepted it.
The twins then extended their hands close to each other and immediately used their Soul Connection to exchange elements. Right after, Light and Dark Elements emerged from their hands, quickly gathering together in a sphere of Light and Dark Light. Neither Element repealed the other, which was what usually happened.
In fact, both elements worked so well together in Spiegel"s Divine Sense that they increased each other"s power instead. "Impressive!" his eyes shined, knowing that he had found exactly what he needed. "To think that two humans could achieve such a balance of opposite elements. My daughter"s crazy doings served some purpose for once."
"What do you mean for once?" Aelrie obviously didn"t like her father"s words. "They always have a purpose. I just haven"t found one for most of them... yet."
The twins stopped their display of Elemental Ability after hearing that. "So it seems like we are going to this Ruins of the Stars with you, is that correct?"
Spiegel nodded. "That"s correct. Fortunately, you reappeared just in time. All powers have been keeping an eye on each other to make sure none of them would try to enter the Ruins ahead of the other. They didn"t want to fight in the great void either, so they agreed on a plan."
"What kind of plan?" The twins asked back.
"First one, no Archangel, Elder Devil, or Divinity Realm Being shall enter the Ruins. They have already reached the highest cultivation realm in the Universe, so the resources inside would have no value for them in this regard. Those entering are at most in the s.p.a.ce-Time Realm."
Roan snorted in response. "Hmph! Bulls.h.i.t! There is no way these top experts of each Higher Realm would stay behind and just watch. Even if the resources aren"t of any use to them, what about other treasures? Artifacts? Things like that? Perhaps even the secret of surpa.s.sing the Divinity Realm. There has to be another reason behind it."
Spiegel didn"t try to hide now that Roan pointed it out. "You seem to understand the world way too well. In any case, you are correct. The main reason is, in fact, that the s.p.a.ce inside is too unstable. It definitely won"t be able to hold an existence at the Elder Devil, Archangel, or Divinity Realm. Simply put, if they get inside, they are dooming the Ruin of Stars and perhaps dying in its collapse. How could they be willing to do that if the things you mentioned might exist inside?"
Roan was satisfied. "That"s more like it."
Spiegel resumed his words. "Second, although they all understood what they needed to enter the Ruins, it is not easy to find beings capable of achieving a balance between Dark and Light Elements. That said, they agreed to wait ten years so that each one of them could find their own methods," Spiegel explained.
"So the Divinity Realm Minokawa will definitely not be within them," Roan understood what he meant. That was especially good since Kentucky was with them. It would be bad if the Minokawa Leader felt Kentucky"s Regal Bloodline. That"s why Kentucky"s parents had to flee with him in the end.
"Exactly," Spiegel confirmed. "Even though Angels and Devils don"t get along, once you take an Elder Devil and an Archangel, I believe it is still possible for them to achieve this balance. But nevertheless, they won"t get in there, so it doesn"t matter."
"Any other rules?" Rean wanted to know more.
"Why would there be one?" Aelrie was the one to answer. "It"s already impressive enough that they agreed to wait and not send any of their top experts. Agreeing on anything else was simply impossible as neither side wished to be tricked by the other."
"Okay then. Now, what exactly do you expect us to do inside the RUins of the Stars?" Roan continued. "From what you told me, it seems like we will need to harmonize and then enter the Ruins together with you. Also, something tells me that there is a limit to how many individuals can enter this place."
Spiegel knew they would ask that. "You guessed right. For each being responsible for pa.s.sing through the barrier, one extra companion can be brought together. For example, you two will harmonize and pa.s.s through the barrier, which means you can bring another two companions with you. Dimensional Realms will be sealed inside, so it is meaningless to try to bring anyone together with you into the Ruins. You two are worth two slots."
"And before you ask, no, you can"t get through the barrier and then come back to fetch more people. The Ruins of the Stars entrance is one-way only. It"s not us who decided on this rule; that"s just how the Ancient Formation in place works."
"How do we leave the Ruins then?" The twins obviously were concerned about this point.
However, Spiegel shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows? No one has been inside that place ever since way before the great calamity. It will be risky, but so is the life of cultivators."
The twins would rather not go there and simply move to the Realm of G.o.ds. Unfortunately, that seemed their only choice at the moment. "Alright, how long until everyone gathers to enter?"
"One month," Spiegel answered straight away.
