Chapter 2785: It Is Here
The plan was to enter the negotiation table... and become a va.s.sal Universe. There was one big problem with that, though. Chaos Origin Source! These sources were too important to other Universes. Considering the Lisan Universe"s state at the moment, it was a lot better to get its Chaos Origin Source and let the Universe itself disappear.
"Flavio, right?" Soul Gem continued. "If we manage to hold enough of your forces back, the expenses to acquire the Choas Origin Source will surpa.s.s its value. At that time, you will have no other choice. You will have to negotiate with us."
"As if!" Flavio immediately discarded the idea. "For that to happen, I will have to lose. Do you know what that would do to my reputation? I will not let that happen. Besides, even if you somehow manage to defeat my forces, you definitely can"t beat the forces that come after me. Sure, you are probably right. No more than one or two extra attacks will happen before Garisan considers negotiation. Too bad you won"t last until then."
Soul Gem shrugged. "That we still don"t know. We knew you were coming, so we made ample preparations. Give your best." After saying that, he returned to the back, leaving Kafan and Gragatou there.
Gragatou sighed and asked Flavio. "Soul Gem hasn"t commented on it yet, but our objective is to become a Va.s.sal Universe. Wouldn"t you consider it instead of going ahead with this war?" "Out of the question," said Flavio. "But my offer is also up. Whether you believe me or not." "Then I guess we have nothing else to talk about," Kafan spoke. "Let"s give it a try."
Gragatou nodded, and the two returned to their army. The s.p.a.ceship that was used for Flavio to talk to them also retreated. With both sides determined to achieve their objectives, they pa.s.sed over the orders.
"Start the attack," said Flavio on the Garisan Forces" side.
On the Lisan Universe side, Gragatou glanced at Soul Gem. "We have the numbers advantage, but their technology is just much more advanced than ours. Are you sure you can control that thing? It might end up wiping us all out."
Soul Gem sighed in response. "I"m not sure, but we can only test it. If it doesn"t work, we will have to work with what we have at hand. It"s that simple. We need to make good use of it, too."
Soul Gem then took out his communication badge and pa.s.sed a message. The enemies were already approaching on the Garisan side, so he couldn"t delay. "Wait until things get heated up... then release it."
"Alright," Rugo, the only Death Spirit that lived on the cultivation side of the Universe, answered. He was also the one who came to the twins when Soul Gem finally got out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
Sophia, the Angel Beast Semi-Celestial, quickly stepped forward. "Well, they will get suspicious if none of us come out to join the fight, so I"m going ahead. Let"s start with two or three of us Semi-Celestials."
Kilindou from the Devils also followed. "I"ll join you."
Huban from the Essence Race also volunteered. "I have been hiding with my Essence Race for way too long. I guess it is about time I use my Core for real."
Soon, the two sides began to clash at countless different points in the middle of outer s.p.a.ce. When Kilindou, Huban, and Sophia appeared, so did three Semi-Celestials from the Garisan Forces.
Both sides knew that if they battled right there, they would affect their own troops, so the six Semi-Celestials moved further away from the battlefield. Such things could be seen everywhere. The battlefields of Divinity Realm Experts were also far away.
The real bulk of the forces were made of s.p.a.ce-Time Realm and below cultivators. These were the true ones who did not bother to care about their own battlefield. If you don"t want to get involved, stay far away. That was basically the rule for them.
The scale of the battle was so big that it took several hours for the two sides to truly engage on all sides. Of course, this was nothing but the start. It would be months before anyone acquired a real picture of the winning or losing side.
Back in the Realm of G.o.ds, Rean and Romario were still working on their formation when, suddenly, they were called out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
"What is it?" Rean asked a Leviathan that stopped at the guest house being used by them. "Someone from the Center of the Realm of G.o.ds is outside asking for you," the Leviathan spoke.
By now, the Leviathan"s existence and their home were already known to everyone. Often, cultivators would come by to exchange information, items, and things like that to help with the war efforts against Garisan. It"s just that the Leviathans never let them enter their Dimensional Realm unless strictly necessary. That"s why the visitor had to ask for someone to call Rean out.
Rean looked at Romario, who simply nodded. "I"ll go take a look at the Replica. You go and check it," he said with Divine Sense.
Rean accepted that and left with the Leviathan. A few minutes later, they pa.s.sed through the portal connecting outside. Only then did Rean"s Divine Sense find who came to see him.
"Havek!"
Havek Sasamil, the Sea Chilling Spirit that worked for the humanoid races in the Rambram Sect. He was the main character in the communication system of the humanoids. He was also a reincarnation of Havek from back in the Sunkan Planet.
Usually, he wasn"t allowed to come out of Rambram Sect. After all, he knew everything about the communication system. However, after Rean spread the communication system through the three Higher Realms, his importance wasn"t as big anymore. The communication system was no secret anymore. Thanks to that, there wasn"t a need to keep him locked in the sect anymore, either.
He still led the Formations Masters of the Rambram Sect, though. After all, he was ultimately a Formations Mater himself, and that was the thing he loved the most. "Hey there. Long time
no see."
Rean quickly approached. "Yes, yes! What are you doing here?"
Havek pointed to the back. "It is here."
Rean looked at the distance. There, a tiny communication tower could be seen. "Oh! You guys finally managed to stretch the communication system all the way here."
