Chapter Not The One
"f.u.c.k you! Set me free right now!" Travux was enraged once he heard those words. Unfortunately, he already tried to use the Underworld Soul Forcing Link to force Roan to follow the agreement. However, it simply didn"t work at all. It was only at that moment did he think that it wouldn"t work because Roan had never said when he would do it.
Roan shook his head once more as he reappeared outside the Dimensional Realm, telling him, "I"m not breaking our agreement. You"ll be set free once I feel like you have to." Roan then cut off his communication with Travux as he already got the information he wanted.
Seeing that, Rean couldn"t help but laugh in response. "Hahahaha! You truly are despicable."
"Hmph!" Roan snorted in response. "If I can have one less enemy, especially one as strong as that, why not? Besides, we got the location of the Foundation Fragment he knew of. Well, both of them."
Before dropping the hammer, Roan had obviously obtained the location of the fragments. That was part of the deal, which Travux didn"t mind at that point since he believed the twins would never get there before him. "One of them is located in a place called the Floating Islands of Time, which is somewhere in the Realm of G.o.ds."
"The second one is in the Swamp of No Return in the Underworld. Well, to be more specific, in the dark side of the Foundation Realm, below the Realm of G.o.ds... that"s what he said," Roan mentioned.
Rean narrowed his eyes as he said, "Dark Side of the Foundation Realm? What is this Foundation Realm? It"s not the same thing as the Foundation Establishment Realm in cultivation, right?"
Roan nodded, replying, "Exactly. The Foundation Establishment Realm in cultivation has nothing to do with the Foundation Realm"s location. They"re two different things. It seems like the Foundation Realm has two sides. One is the Underworld, which I know so much about... or at least I know the other half side"s Underworld. The other one is the light side."
Rean immediately remembered the angel they found back in the Lost Star Realm. Back then, he had heard that the angel wasn"t someone from the Realm of G.o.ds. "Wait! If this "Foundation Realm" is divided into its dark and light sides, and the dark side is the Underworld, the light side has to be the angel race"s side. Should we call it Heaven, then?"
Roan shook his head, saying, "I don"t know. At least I didn"t hear anything about angels back in the other half of the universe. But I also didn"t know that the Underworld was part of the dark side of the Foundation Realm. No, perhaps things are different in the other half to start with. Unfortunately, Travux didn"t want to talk about it as it wasn"t part of the agreement. I doubt he"s willing to talk more either."
Rean felt quite a headache after that. "Sigh... And here I thought the Realm of G.o.ds was the ultimate goal in our journey. Now we even need to pay a visit to the Underworld. On second thought, with the way things are going, we might need to pay a visit to the angel races too."
Roan agreed with Rean on that point. "Indeed."
Sister Orb also added another point. [So far, we"re talking about fragments without owners. What about the fragments with owners? With the way things are going, I doubt all the fragments are hidden in different places, just waiting for us to take them away.]
The twins nodded in response. "Chances are that both demons and angels have some of these fragments in their hands. That could also explain why we were attacked back in Sunkan Planet since one of these sides didn"t want to get more compet.i.tion. Soul Gem is bound to know how to acquire or fight for them."
*Blub...*
Suddenly, the twins heard a sound as if something small was dropped into a bucket of water. At the same time that it happened, the twins pa.s.sed through a spatial division they didn"t even know was there. Before they could do anything, they had already appeared on the other side as the pushing force acting on them completely disappeared.
"Seems like we"re through the pushing field that kept everyone outside," Rean couldn"t help but comment. He also closed the connection of the Dimensional Realm with the outside world, preventing the aura of their fragment from escaping outside.
Roan looked around and could only see more and more ruins. It"s just that the size of those ruins increased a lot more compared to the outskirts. "Sister Orb, are we heading in the right direction?"
[Yes.] Sister Orb immediately answered. [It seems like that spatial division moved you two at least two hundred kilometers deeper inside these ruins. I can tell that the fragment in this place is just thirty or so kilometers ahead. Well, not ahead, but diagonally down forward.]
"So it should be at least a few kilometers deep once we arrive at the location, not that I can"t tell where it is..." Rean then looked at an enormous building in the distance. It had three main towers that reached far high in the skies. As for its body, it was even bigger, definitely a few kilometers long.
"That"s the only intact building we"ve seen so far," Roan commented as he paid attention to it as well. "And it seems to be very much active."
Around that building"s towers, one could see many dark clouds that rained bolts of lighting on the towers nonstop. Yet, the tower seemed to absorb all the lightning. Not only that, but the Divine Energy in the surroundings also flowed in that building"s direction.
Rean could only shrug his shoulders in response. "Well, we might as well go and check. Thanks to that weird field, there shouldn"t be anyone here to bother us, so we only need to be careful about the traps."
[Oh, I wouldn"t be so certain about that,] said Sister Orb.
"Why not?" The twins asked back.
[Just now, I felt the presence of another fragment after we arrived here, and it"s not the one we"re looking for.]
