Chapter 2838: Just... You?
"Hexahedrons?" Rean found the name funny. "It is basically a cube with another name. Hahaha!"
"A Hexahedron doesn"t mean it has to be a cube, idiot," Roan spoke. "It basically means it has six flat surfaces, but it doesn"t have to be a cubic shape. Nonetheless, a Cube is indeed a Hexahedron as well."
"Who cares?" Kafan didn"t seem interested. "Just make sure to get used to this thing when we need it next time."
"Right, there is one more thing," Roan spoke and showed the small Cube to Kafan. "Master, do you recognize this mark?" As soon as he said that, a mark appeared on the cube, shining with feeble blue light.
Surprise appeared in Kafan"s eyes as he quickly nodded his head. "You were right, this Cube... Hexahedron is definitely related to the Underworld Relix. The Underworld Relic also has the same mark on it, although it only appears if the user wishes so."
Roan thought about that. "It is good to know. The mark on the Hexahedron also only appears if I wish." Finally, Roan finished his tests and took the Fragment from inside the Hexahedron.
*Flup!*
Kafan saw the Hexahedron flying in his direction, propelling him to catch it with a confused expression. "What is this?"
Roan shrugged. "Master, you will obviously be able to employ its uses much better than I will. Rean and I are only in the Peak Stage of the s.p.a.ce-Time Realm. It would be too dangerous for us to approach other Semi-Celestials with our strength, let alone seal them inside the Hexahedron. Naturally, the Hexahedron would be much better in your hands."
Rean, Luan, and Sister Orb agreed. "Roan is right on that point."
Kafan pondered a bit and then threw it back to Roan. "Terrible idea."
Naturally, that made everyone confused. How could the Hexahedron in the hands of a Semi- Celestial be a terrible idea?
Yet, before they could speak, Kafan explained. "This thing can obviously be deployed very fast, taking less than a second to appear. However, that is pretty much an eternity for us Semi-Celestials. The enemy Semi-Celestials will definitely keep an eye on us, and they will be even more suspicious if one of us doesn"t show themselves. To catch them off-guard, the Hexahedron has to be used by someone else other than the Semi-Celestials. So, you will use it, and we will lure the enemy into its range."
Roan sighed and nodded in the end. "Understood, Master. We will only need to find a source of energy for it in the future."
"Oh, that"s true," Kafan almost forgot that. "Since you will trade the Foreign Fragment you still have, the Hexahedron will be without an energy source..." Kafan"s thoughts went everywhere. "Forget it. We can try to destroy another one of their ships and take the Fragment from inside before Garisan can retrieve it. At that moment, we can power the Hexahedron again."
Roan had his doubts, though. "Master, do you think it would be possible to convince the Angels to give their Fragment away without taking the Foreign Fragment in our possession? Getting one from the s.p.a.ceships doesn"t seem very realistic."
Kafan obviously understood why he asked that. "That would indeed be very good. After all, if you trade with them and then use the Fragment in the Integration Pillar, the Hexahedron will have no energy source anymore. That"s why I said we can try to get another one from Garisan"s s.p.a.ceships, even though it will be difficult."
Still, Kafan shook his head. "There is absolutely no way the Angels will give up their Fragment without something to power the Heaven"s Gyroscope. Even if Soul Gem goes there with us and says the Fragment is the last thing he needs to repair the Universe, they will still not choose to bet on it. You need to trade the Foreign Fragment with them, just like you did with the Devils. The only advantage is that I doubt the Angels will ask for extra compensation like the Devils did. Anyway, we can think about it another time."
Kafan then diverted his attention to the Fragments floating in mid-s.p.a.ce. There were three Fragments from this Universe, and they hadn"t been taken by the Integration Pillar yet since the system was frozen. "Now, I"m more interested in these guys. How about you go ahead and let the system do its job."
[Right, the part of the system in the Fragment has been merged with the main Soul Gem System. Can I let the system run its course now?]
The twins had nothing else to do, so they quickly agreed. "Alright, do it, Sister Orb."
*Pin!*
[Integration of the missing part of the system concluded.]
*Rumble...*
Immediately, the entire Soul Gem Dimensional Realm began to shake. However, even though it was happening, the twins and Sister Orb couldn"t feel anything different in it. After a few minutes, the shaking finally stopped, but it didn"t seem like anything changed at all. No, it wasn"t like nothing changed. The twins did feel something different, but they couldn"t pinpoint what it was.
"HOLY s.h.i.t! How did you do that?" Kafan looked at the twins, surprised.
"That"s... unexpected..." Luan was just as shocked.
"Did what?" Rean and Roan were even more confused. They couldn"t see anything. They kept looking around and using their connection with the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to check everything, but there was truly nothing. Their Divine Senses also didn"t catch what was wrong. "What are you talking about?"
Kafan and Luan looked at each other, confirming they were not seeing things. Finally, they turned back to Rean and Roan... or was it still truly them? "We are talking about you two... or, to be more precise, just... you?"
Only then did the twins notice something... They weren"t twins anymore. Instead, they were two souls inside the same body. Yet, all their movements seemed so natural that they didn"t even notice when they merged together. "WHAT THE h.e.l.l?!"
[Oh yes! It is finally time to put your Brotherly Affection to the test!] Sister Orb seemed to be the only one excited there.
