Chapter 2068 Time To Leave
"Okay! Let"s end this conversation about other Universes here." Kentucky was starting to get bored already. "Can we go back to the fragments thing?"
Roan also thought it was a good idea. "So, Hex, you have no other fragments within you."
[As I said, I don"t. I can"t prove it, though. You can ask this Pixiu to destroy me and then check my insides.]
[That is not necessary,] Sister Orb immediately intervened. [Hex, you obviously have some ability that prevents Divine Sense from seeing you. I can"t confirm that this ability isn"t blocking my system"s power of fragments detection. If you just turn off this ability of yours, I"ll be able to tell straight away if you have a fragment or not.]
[Oh! That is a lot easier!] Hex didn"t think twice. The Purple Runes on his sides began to divine and move around, changing forms nonstop. Finally, Hex"s entire body shined with purple light before it disappeared. [Alright, it is done.]
Sure enough, Hex appeared within everyone"s Divine Sense detection. Hex was the beacon"s Artifact Spirit, so he was born already knowing all the abilities the beacon had. That"s also why he knew how to talk and the languages the twins" group was using.
Sister Orb quickly used the system to check Hex. However, the system had absolutely no reaction whatsoever, even though it was able to check every single corner of the Artifact. [He isn"t lying. At the very least, I don"t think he is using any other concealing method that I can"t identify. There are really no fragments within him.]
Roan and the others nodded. "That"s good. It"s not like we want to make enemies or anything like that."
[So, am I free to do as I please now? If there is nothing else, I"ll take my leave.] Naturally, Hex didn"t want to stay even another second near Sesame. Now that Sesame knows about his existence, and especially after he lost the fragment, he is leaving this place for good.
Of course, there was a problem. Hex knew too much. He knew the twins" group had the fragment, the system, Sesame"s existence, etc. Could they truly just let him leave like that?
[Now, now, pretty boy. There is no need to be this fast, right?] Sure enough, it wasn"t that easy.
Hex would have smiled bitterly if he had a mouth. [So, it came to this, uh? So, what are you going to do? Destroy me? Seal me? What is it?]
Sister Orb got puzzled, though. [Uh? What are you talking about? No one will do anything to you.]
Rean, Roan, and the others nodded, much to Hex"s confusion. [You... won"t? Why?]
Roan shrugged his shoulders. "Let"s be honest here. Your existence is just as important as our own. I dare say that the fact you could communicate with other Universes is a lot more important than the fragment we got from you. Simply put, telling others about us is the same as telling others about yourself. Wouldn"t that be extremely idiotic? That"s why we know you won"t go around speaking what you shouldn"t."
[That"s... true...] Still, it was definitely better if they simply destroyed Hex. Yet, they opted to not do so. Well, that"s how the twins worked anyway. Besides, who knows? Perhaps the twins will need Hex"s abilities one day. [Ahem... Well, if you don"t intend to do anything against me, then what do you need?]
Everyone then looked at Sister Orb. After all, they also didn"t know why she stopped Hex.
[It"s about his use of the Universe Fragment. Not only was he able to draw out its Spatial Powers, but he also used the Fragment"s Time Powers. Do you remember what Luan said? That the system also had time-related powers. My memories are sealed, just like I said before. I can"t tell how to make use of it. However, I can at least tell that Hex works in a similar way to the Soul Gem System. I would like Hex to allow the Soul Gem System to a.n.a.lyze him to see if we can unlock time-related powers for our own use.]
Everyone"s eyes lit up. If they could make the Soul Gem System work at a different time speed, wouldn"t that be one of the greatest abilities for their situation? One thing that the twins had always been lacking was time to cultivate. Places like the Swamp of No Return that had different time lapses were just too rare to come by, after all. Hex was obviously the one who created this time change, so the idea was very interesting.
[Hum... I don"t know if it will work. The runes within my own system came from outside this Universe. Not to mention they were made to work with my own structure.]
Sister Orb didn"t mind. [Don"t worry. You allowed me to check your body earlier. I"m very confident that the Soul Gem System can adapt to the runes used on you, especially with Rean here.]
Rean was more than happy to help. "Great! In that case, let"s go into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Hex, we will let you out later when we finish the a.n.a.lyses. Do you mind?"
Hex pondered a bit and accepted the arrangement. [Well, if that will help you let me free later, then so be it. Just don"t blame me if you can"t figure out a way of using my runes. I"ll try to help with all the knowledge I have, though.]
"That"s more than enough for us," Rean couldn"t help but get excited. After all, he was about to check runes from another Universe. Not only the time-related powers for the Soul Gem System. What other kinds of abilities could he unlock if he learns more about them? "Don"t resist. I"m pulling you into our Dimensional Realm."
[Go ahead.] Hex felt the familiar force of s.p.a.ce enveloping him before he and Rean disappeared from the outside world.
Roan then looked at Kentucky, Celis, and Luan. "Alright, you guys go back into the Dimensional Realm as well. Sesame and I are more than enough to travel." Right after, those three also disappeared.
Sesame then walked to Roan"s side and nodded. "Alright, time to leave."
