Chapter 2857: Only Then
Soul Gem knew how hard it would be. In the last war, they didn"t get any fragments. It was all Hyeoumu who pa.s.sed those three Foreign Fragments to the wins. The s.p.a.ceships destroyed y the armies of Lisan Universe had their Fragments completely spent or taken away before the ships were abandoned.
"Where did you get these Foreign Fragments to start with?" Sophia couldn"t help but ask.
"Where else?" Soul Gem bitterly smiled. "Only one other expert managed to destroy more of Garisan"s s.p.a.ceships other than us."
"Hyeoumu..." Sophia and Naya"il immediately understood. All the Semi-Celestials received the report of how Hyeoumu managed to kill four Semi-Celestials and destroy many s.p.a.ceships on his own. It made sense the Foreign Fragments came from him.
"Can"t you ask for one more?" Naya"il insisted.
Kafan didn"t see that happened. "That"s pretty much impossible. Hyeoumu is using the Fragments to heal himself. It was already a miracle we convinced him to hand this Fragment to us. He won"t part with more of them. Of course, if you have some idea of how to convince him, I"m more than happy to give it a try."
Convince Hyeoumu? Ha! No one ever convinced Hyeoumu of anything. Even back when Hyeoumu took the Continental Barriers down, that only happened because the Realm of G.o.ds paid a very high price. Otherwise, he would never gone that far.
"Forget I asked anything," Naya"il gave up straight away.
"So, Soul Gem," Sophia turned her attention back to Soul Gem. "You now have all the Fragments. How do you intend to fix the Pillar? Do you need help? Naya and I can definitely help if necessary."
"I will need more help indeed," Soul Gem smiled, happy to hear their words. "Keep within the communication system range. I will contact you and the other Semi-Celestials who know about my efforts to help me when the day arrives. After all, the Garisan Forces or maybe even the Vruves could try to stop me."
Everyone"s expression turned worse. There wasn"t a single expert in that room who didn"t know the Universe was split into two sides because of the Vruves. It was very well possible the Vruves would come out and try to stop Soul Gem again.
"Hmph! I would like to see them trying." Naya"il showed a cold expression, something rare for angels.
Sophia naturally agreed with her. "Don"t worry, we will stay within the communication system range. Just call our numbers, and we will come straight away."
The group talked for a while and finally decided it was time to bid their farewells. Later that day, Kafan, Soul Gem, and Rean pa.s.sed through the temporal path, returning to the Realm of G.o.ds and leaving for some isolated place. They quickly entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, bringing the last Fragment inside with them.
*Zush!*
As soon as the Fragment entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, it was pulled over to the Integration Pillar. It entered the last of the Spheres of White and Dark light before the sphere entered the Integration Pillar. Everyone gathered as a result. Rean, Roan, Kentucky, Celis, Romario, Soul Gem, Kafan, they were all there.
[Congratulations, Hosts.]
[Reward: 100000 Destiny Points.]
[Reward After Bonus: 300000 Destiny Points.]
As the message played out in the twins" minds, the last crack in the Integration Pillar was mended. The whole thing brimmed with Light and Dark Elements and Laws, Yin and Yang energies. It was as if the Pillar had suddenly transformed.
[Congratulations, Hosts. All Fragments have been acquired.]
[The last upgrade for the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm is now available.]
Rean and Roan quickly touched the Control Orb and checked the Upgrade List. Without thinking twice, they selected the obvious option.
[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 7 - 14 Universe Foundation Fragments]
[Fragments Recovered: 14]
[Proceed with the Upgrade?]
"Yes!" The twins answered together.
[Confirmation received. Initiating Upgrade.]
*Rumble!*
Suddenly, all the living beings in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm felt their bodies being enveloped by some power. It happened before in a previous upgrade. They were now inside a Spatial Protection created by the system. That meant the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was about to change. Naturally, Rean had warned everyone beforehand it could happen, so no one was truly surprised.
The power of the Integration Pillar quickly spread, reaching all the borders of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. It didn"t stop there, though. The Integration Pillar"s Power seemed to pierce through the Spatial Barrier that separated the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm from the Fabric of s.p.a.ce.
"It is connecting to something..." Rean spoke. He could feel it through the connection with the Soul Gem System.
Roan nodded, feeling the same thing.
Suddenly, Kafan"s eyes opened wide as he felt a new type of energy entering the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "This... This is Chaos Laws and Chaos Energy!" He knew those energy and laws better than anyone, so he easily identified them.
"Could it be..." Kentucky understood what was happening.
Rean and Roan nodded. "Yes, the Soul Gem System seems to be connecting to the Chaos Origin Source directly."
"It has to." Soul Gem felt excited. He created the system, after all. "Do you know how gigantic is the Universe Foundation Pillar? What are the Fragments compared to that? Nothing, I say. The system needs a real energy source if it is to use the Integration Pillar to fix the Universe Foundatil Pillar. Only the Chaos Origin Source has such power!"
The integration pillar began to absorb all the Chaos Laws and Energy into itself like crazy. As it happened, the pillar itself began to increase in size nonstop. In a matter of minutes, it was already tens of times bigger. And as it became bigger, so did the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. It expanded without signs of obstruction.
"Is this thing going to grow to the same size as the real Pillar?" Rean couldn"t help but
wonder.
The Universe Foundation Pillar literally ran from one side of the Universe to the other. How big would the Integration Pillar inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm need to be to match that? Obviously, Universe size!
"It isn"t all that exaggerated," Soul Gem shook his head, though. "The Integration Pillar"s size is not for the sake of matching the real pillar. Instead, it is getting this big because it is storing all the Chaos Laws and Energy. Only then, it will be ready."
