Chapter 2330 Hyeonmu
When everyone"s vision returned to normal, they found themselves in an open s.p.a.ce. As far as they could see, there was nothing. There were no stars in sight, so they at least knew they were not in the sea of stars like several times before. Still, it was easy to tell that there was no air around. It was truly just void. "Where is this place?"
Rean, Roan, and Luan held their weapons in their hands while Kentucky hardened his blade feathers and scales. They didn"t know what was happening, so they were prepared for anything.
*gruuuuu...*
Yet, even though there was no air to spread sound, they truly heard something moving. There was only one way to make that happen, and it was to use Divine Energy instead of air to make the sound go around. Immediately, they all turned in the direction of the sound, and even Roan"s hands on his White Star Scythe became a little loose.
Far, truly, truly far in the distance, there was a gigantic eye. It was so far away that if this s.p.a.ce had as much as a thin amount of air separating them and that giant eye, it would be impossible to see it. Yet, as they were in the void, there was nothing to obstruct their vision, regardless of how far something was. The only condition is that this something must be big enough to be perceived at such a distance.
"T-That"s... big..." Kentucky couldn"t help but comment.
The eye looked at them. However, Rean couldn"t tell if it was truly looking at them or not. The reason for that was the light that was being reflected on that eye before reaching them. With Rean"s experience with Light Element, he could tell how long it took for the light he was seeing to have reached his eyes. "That thing... is at least ten light hours away from us."
"What?!" Everyone looked at Rean with incredulity. It looked so big to the point of covering their entire vision in the direction it was located! Yet, something that enormous was only the sight of it ten hours in the past! After all, the light had to travel for at least ten hours in the void to reach their group. They were seeing how that thing was ten hours ago!
Besides, if what they were seeing was just the eye... then just how big was its head? Its body?! One must understand that traveling at the speed of light, even the biggest continent of the Realm of G.o.ds, would definitely not take ten light hours to be covered.
Suddenly, a majestic voice began to echo in their ears through the Divine Energy spread around. "Was it you who hurt my sh.e.l.l just now?"
Everyone trembled, their Dantians and Demon Core immediately turning unstable. Just that voice alone was enough to make their control over their Divine Energy to be completely messed up. That was not a kind of existence they could ever hope to contend against!
Rean nervously looked ahead and immediately bowed in the direction of the eye. Even if the light that demonstrated his bow would take ten hours to arrive at the eye, he felt like the owner of that eye would know it instantly! "S-Sir, that was indeed us who broke a part of your... sh.e.l.l..."
He continued. "However, we truly, truly, truly did now know that the place we were standing a moment ago was the back of a living being. We thought we were standing on top of a very solid ground, and we wanted to check later why it was so resistant. That"s why we broke a piece of it. We sincerely apologize," said Rean while taking out the piece they broke from that monster"s sh.e.l.l.
*Rumble...*
The Divine Energy in the surroundings began to get extremely concentrated around their group. The pressure was so big that the twins" group felt like they were suffocating. They immediately considered the option to flee into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and use the Circuitry Teleport Formation. Even if they tried to teleport in a messed s.p.a.ce environment and ended up somewhere random in the universe, it was still much better than to continue here.
However, Sister Orb immediately warned. [Don"t even think about entering the Dimensional Realm. With that thing"s power, as soon as you enter, it will be able to destroy the Dimensional Realm instantly before you even have the chance to activate the Circuitry Teleport Formation.]
Rean and Roan bitterly smiled. That thing was so powerful that even the Divinity Realm experts they saw in the past would be nothing but ants in its vision. No, calling them ants was already overestimating their powers!
"b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! How dare you desecrate my Divine Sh.e.l.l! Do you think that being oblivious to the situation is enough to forgive you? Die for me!" The eyes were enraged and immediately locked the twins" group down. Even if they wanted to enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, they wouldn"t be able to do so.
However, just as the pressure of the Divine Energy was about to smash them, a Black and White Orb suddenly appeared in the middle of the void. Following that, a dignified voice echoed from it as a miniature person appeared above. "Senior Hyeonmu, on account of this lowly junior"s actions from back then, could you please spare their lives?"
A surprising voice followed. "This presence..."
Right after, the Divine Energy pressure disappeared completely as the voice continued. "Soul Gem Brat, is that you?"
Sure enough, the one who came out was none other than Soul Gem. Sister Orb, with most of her memories sealed away, could only think about waking Soul Gem up to see if he had any solution to this situation.
Soul Gem immediately identified the enormous beast the twins" group was dealing with and stepped out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to mediate the conflict. "Indeed, it is me. It is this junior"s fortune to be able to see senior Hyeonmu again in this life."
