Chapter 1842: Not Two Anymore
However, Crazy Old Man Larks" face quickly returned to normal before he waved his hand once again. The twins" vision blurred for a moment as the s.p.a.ce around them changed completely. The old man had obviously used his control over s.p.a.ce to send the twins somewhere, although Rean and Roan didn"t know where they were sent.
Following that, the Spatial Power that held the twins in place disappeared without a trace. The time around them also resumed to its normal speed, allowing the twins to stand up as they used their Light Element to continue to heal their bodies.
"This..." Rean noticed how he could control his body again. "Where are the demons? And where did that man go?"
Roan shook his head, saying, "I have no idea. Other than the fact that we were teleported away, I don"t know anything else." Roan then focused his attention on the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm after that, asking, "Sister Orb, do you know what happened?"
[I know almost as much as you do,] replied Sister Orb. She saw everything that had happened, after all. [The Spatial Power of that guy is just not something we can touch at the moment. However, I know one thing that"s for certain. We"re inside the three towers.]
Rean and Roan quickly looked around and saw the walls. Without wasting time, Roan took his White Scythe and attacked the wall. He was still very injured and couldn"t show much of his power. Nevertheless, it was at least enough to test the materials that the wall was made of.
*Clang!*
However, his White Scythe simply bounced back from the wall, not leaving even a single scratch on it. "Clenhest Stone..." Sure enough, he couldn"t do anything to the building in this place. "Seems like we"re still in the ruins."
Rean asked something else. "What about the Foundation Fragment, Sister Orb?" Rean could tell that their own fragment was still in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. However, he didn"t know what had happened to the other two.
Sister Orb immediately checked the resonance before saying. [It"s still here. Not only that, it"s just a few tens of meters ahead, behind that door.] She then pointed at a metal door among the several ones in the corridor the twins were located.
"It"s still here?!" Naturally, the twins were surprised to hear that. After what the old man said, it looked pretty obvious that he was the one who prepared this place. "Could it be that he was lying?"
Roan shook his head, replying, "I don"t think so. He was the one who teleported us here, and he could have killed us whenever he wanted. We don"t even know if any of the doors around are open. As far as I know, we might very well be trapped in this place." One must remember that the twins simply didn"t know who the old man was. Demon, angel, name, race, nothing...
Rean nodded in response. If they couldn"t cause any damage to the stone wall, let alone the metal gates that were bound to be even more resistant. "Well, we can only give it a shot." Rean then approached the door Sister Orb mentioned and checked if he could get access to the room where the Foundation Fragment was located.
*Brammmm...*
A metallic sound came from the door as it slowly opened. It was very heavy without a doubt. Then again, it wasn"t anything Rean couldn"t force open with his strength. Roan also watched as the door gradually opened until finally, the twins were able to see the Foundation Fragment in the distance. It was attached to another wall and seemed to be connected to some weird metal vines that stretched out on the wall itself. "Is that the fragment?"
[No doubt. That"s definitely the Foundation Fragment.] Sister Orb confirmed straight away.
Light Element continued to close the injuries on their bodies as Rean and Roan took two of Roan"s pills. There were just too many holes in their bodies, so they needed extra resources to help close them. It was like when Rean healed a lost limb. Just Light Element wasn"t enough to get it to grow back.
Rean then stepped forward, obviously trying to get close to the fragment.
[Aren"t you afraid that this is a trap?]
Roan also stepped forward and followed Rean, saying, "Trap? Why would that guy need a trap? In front of absolute power, schemes are meaningless. He could have killed us, but he didn"t do it."
Rean nodded after hearing that. "Laying a trap for us in this place would just be ridiculous. Even if there"s a trap, we"re still within his grasp, so who cares?"
With that, Rean and Roan arrived at the fragment"s side and tried to pull it out. Yet, the fragment didn"t even budge. "Sure enough, it couldn"t be this easy..."
[Actually, it is easy,] said Sister Orb. [Just open a small pa.s.sage between the Dimensional Realm and this fragment.]
Rean and Roan looked at each other and nodded. Soon after that, a very small pa.s.sage opened, revealing the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm inside. To be more specific, it revealed the area where their own fragment was located.
*Tremble...*
As soon as they did that, the wall where the fragment was attached began to shake, forcing the entire room to shake with it. Rean and Roan saw how the fragment was trying to get itself away from the tower and enter the Dimensional Realm.
*Bang!*
In the end, this building couldn"t stop something like a fragment of the universe"s foundation. The wall broke apart as the fragment disappeared inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Not long after, it slammed against the fragment the twins had in the Dimensional Realm with such strength that the Dimensional Realm itself shook a little.
The twins and Sister Orb saw how the fragments fit with each other perfectly, creating a completely new fragment. There wasn"t even a mark where the two were broken apart before. There weren"t two fragments anymore, just one.
*Pin!*
As soon as that happened, the sound of the Soul Gem System resounded.
