Chapter 2166 Contact
"System, where are we at the moment?" Rean immediately used his authority to ask the system.
-Sector 29C of the Second Region.-
Rean nodded before looking at Roan and Luan. "Alright, we are still in the second region. Well, obviously... Tanxan told us you can"t teleport too far without using the platforms, after all."
Roan thought about something before talking to the system. "System, find the two beings that left the Reactor Room through the hole in the ceiling."
-Searching...-
-Targets found.-
Immediately, a holographic video appeared in front of them, showing Spiegel and Waremis fighting their way through the Defense System weapons and robots. Now that they were alone, things because a lot more difficult, especially since they were still in the super-protected Second Region. From the looks of it, those two wouldn"t last very long.
"System, cease all combat efforts against these targets. Also, open a channel through which we can talk to them," Rean quickly ordered after seeing that.
-Request accepted.-
Somewhere else, Spiegel had just destroyed another robot before jumping away to avoid the robot"s self-detonation. He then turned around and saw that Waremis successfully got rid of the lasers that were shooting at them as well. It wasn"t over, though. As they tried to make their way out, even more robots appeared from several entrances.
Yet, just as they were about to continue fighting, all the robots and lasers stopped shooting at them. They looked at each other, puzzled. Of course, they weren"t in the mood to discover why that happened and quickly dashed away.
The two of them didn"t go far. That"s because after moving just a few tens of meters, a holographic video popped out right in front of them. At first, they jumped back and prepared to attack that video. After all, they didn"t know what a video was to start with, and the fact it appeared right on their path probably meant it was going to attack them. Yet, a second later, they saw the image of the twins. "Uh? Wait, it"s you two!"
Rean laughed on the other side of the video. "Hahaha! Good to see that you are still holding your own, senior Spiegel, senior Waremis."
Waremis took a step forward while still keeping his guard up. "What is going on? What happened to those who we left behind? Are you contacting us before finishing the job?"
Rean immediately shook his head. "Far from that. Seniors and we have some fate together. Besides, it was thanks to you that we stumbled into quite some fortunes in this s.p.a.ceship. Let alone trying to get rid of you. It was us who stopped the defense system from attacking you."
Waremis and Spiegel were still skeptical. "Reaaaally?"
Rean nodded. "Yes. I have already ordered the defense system to not attack you anymore. However, you should refrain from getting close to the room where you saw the Universe Foundation Fragment. That room defense system is beyond our authority, so we can"t stop it from killing you two like it killed everyone else. It is already a stretch to stop the defense system while you are so close to that room."
Spiegel took a deep breath in response. Obviously, any time to rest was welcome at the moment. "Fine, I"ll trust you are telling the truth. It"s not like we can do anything else anyway. So, care to explain what is happening here? What is a s.p.a.ceship?"
Rean pondered a bit about what he could and could not talk about before answering. "Hum... Things go like this: This is a ship capable of traveling between different Universes. That Universe Foundation Fragment you saw in the Reactor Room is the source of power for this entire ship. Yes, I know, it is ridiculously big for something that moves, but that"s how it is."
"This..." Spiegel and Waremis were taken aback. "This thing can leave this Universe? Do you have any idea what that means if those beings outside find out about it?"
Rean shrugged his shoulders. "Don"t worry. I can guarantee you that at least the Vruve Organization already knows about it. It seemed like they were the only ones who knew what they were looking for when they arrived at this place. They even had some kind of puppets that was capable of controlling the systems of this ship to a certain extent, showing they had put their hands on a member of the crew of this ship in the past."
Spiegel and Waremis were even more surprised. "Those guys from the Vruves really can"t be underestimated."????????.???
Everyone wants to find the secret to surpa.s.s the Divinity Realm cultivation. There are those who believe the fragments could be the key. However, there are also those who believe it would be possible to find the answer if they left this Universe. Unfortunately, no one ever succeeded in doing so. Doesn"t that mean this ship could be their only choice? After all, who knows where all the fragments are located? Spiegel and Waremis knew it, and so did the twins.
"So, what happened after we left? Did you kill everyone there?"
Rean shook his head. "No. The two guys from the Vruve Organization and a Demon Beast from the Realm of G.o.ds managed to escape. I doubt they are on the ship or near it anymore."
"What about the Universe Foundation Fragment? We know you two took one of the fragments. Did you take the other as well?" Waremis went straight to the point.
It would be useless to say they didn"t take it since everyone saw the event. "We did take one of the Fragments. However, the other Fragment is still there. You probably guessed already. We found someone on this ship who was part of the original crew members. After we exchanged some favors, that jelly allowed us to take this Fragment while leaving the other behind."
Waremis pondered a bit. "Alright, so you have a Fragment of the Universe Foundation now. Also, there are those who know that you got it. What do you plan to do? It doesn"t seem like you want to shut our mouths."
"Exactly," Rean confirmed his words.
