Chapter 2603 Turen"s Time
Yes, no one had considered the Universe Foundation Fragments. The twins had worked to the bone to get their hands on those eight Fragments that were fused into a single one. That was the one thing they could use as leverage to stop this war. "Of course, this is also a very crazy idea," Rean added. "How can we talk to the Devils and give them the Fragment without them attacking us back? Above all, would they surrender before they put their hands on the Fragment? They would definitely ask the Fragment first and might end up not fulfilling their part of the deal."
Kentucky shook his head. "That would already be a good outcome. Chances are they would kill you as soon as you showed the Fragment to them. I believe this idea surpa.s.sed the notion of crazy. I can"t see it working at all."
The twins obviously knew that. Still, if they gave the Fragment away and somehow the Devils fulfilled their part of the deal, they would at least survive. Later, when they get stronger, they can think about some way to recover the Fragment. Time was running out, after all.
However, it was at this moment that Turen stepped forward. "There is no need to give up the Fragments you have here. Instead... I will use the Fragment I posses, the same one that is sustaining my Dimensional Realm in the Temporal Path."
"This..." The twins looked at Turen.
Turen was a Semi-Celestial who is known for having a Fragment. They don"t know how he obtained that, but they know he had to flee to the Temporal Path and use the Fragment to create a separate Dimensional Realm inside there. All the top experts in the Underworld, Realm of G.o.ds, and Heavns know about that.
Unfortunately for them, Ture was able to use the Fragment"s power to make it impossible to enter that Dimensional Realm without his permission. Everyone knew where he was, where the Fragments were, but they couldn"t do anything about it. Just like that, countless years had gone by as Turen continued to stay in that Temporal Path.
He had other means to interact with the outside world, though. His avatar, the one speaking to the twins right now, was one of these methods. Nonetheless, these methods were useless against high-level experts. In any case, Turen was offering to use his own Fragment to reach a deal with the Devils. "That"s the best option. My Fragment hasn"t fused with your Fragments yet, so it is a lot better to use mine. However, to make sure the deal goes smoothly, I won"t be able to leave any tracking methods behind in the Fragment. Once it is given to the Devils, I won"t be able to tell who or where it will end up at."
"That"s not the issue here," Rean quickly intervened. "Your Dimensional Realm in the Temporal Path has always been under vigilance. As soon as you step out with the Fragment, all the other Semi-Celestials will come out to hunt you. The Fragments are pretty much one of the very few things that is not part of the agreement between them. They will not hold back at all."
Turen was happy with Rean"s concern. "Thanks, but there is no need for any of you to worry. I have a way to get to the Underworld fast enough to finish this deal."
"Even if you can get to the Underworld, what stops the Semi-Celestials there from attacking you? How can you guarantee they will fulfill their part of the deal? Or better, would they engage in a deal with you to start with?" Roan asked, finding it hard to accomplish.
Turen shrugged his shoulders. "I"m sorry to mention it, but it is a lot more likely that a deal can be reached with me than it is with you two. After all, you are just some small s.p.a.ce-Time Realm cultivators. I, on the other hand, am a Semi-Celestial. It"s that simple. Besides..."
Turen suddenly showed a sly smile. "I have a way to make sure the Semi-Celestials of the Underworld will uphold their part of their deal."
"You do?" The twins were taken aback.
Turen then turned around, preparing to leave. "Anyway, this is decided. It is time for your dad to do his part and save his sons. I"m going to talk to your mother; see you later."
Turen then left without waiting for anyone to say anything.
[Rean, Roan, as much as you might be worried, he is right. The risks he will take are a lot smaller than the risks you would take instead. In the end, it all comes down to a single word.]
Roan immediately spoke. "Strength!"
Rean nodded. "Dad is strong, someone at the top of the Universe. Roan and I using our Fragment was pretty much guaranteed to fail. That"s because we aren"t strong enough to demand the other party to fulfill their part of the deal. Dad, on the other hand, does have that strength."
"I"m just worried about one thing," Celis suddenly commented. "Your Fragments hold enough appeal exactly because they are eight Fragments in one. Your father"s Fragment is just that, a single Fragment. Will that be enough to convince the Devils?"
[Turen seemed pretty confident, though,] Sister Orb mentioned. [However, things might turn bad. After all, this Turen in our Soul Gem Dimensional Realm is only an avatar. He could simply keep it here. Yet, he decided to go talk to your mother.]
"Indeed," Roan agreed with Sister Orb. "Even he admits this will be a risky undertaking. It is one thing if one Semi-Celestial is after you, but another completely different if many have you as a target."
"Enough with it," Rean decided to end the discussion there. "In the end, if we were in his shoes, we would do the same thing. Let"s just trust him."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Two days later, near the Reincarnation Path of the Underworld, a human stood in front of three Devils.
"Long time no see, Black Locust, Kilindou, Sansara," said Turen with a smile. He was in front of the three Semi-Celestials of the Underworld.
