Death… And Me

Chapter 1565 Shall we talk?

Seeing that, the twins could finally sigh in relief. It seems like their Nascent Souls would be back in a little bit more than half a year from now.

Of course, the system didnʼt stop there.

[Reward: 150000 Destiny Points.]

[Hidden Reward: Remaining time for Nascent Soul Revival reduced by 90%.]

Now, the Destiny Points obviously pleased the twins. However, the extra hidden reward truly took them by surprise. ʼThatʼs the first time weʼve ever gotten a hidden reward.ʼ

Sister Orb began to speak from there. [Itʼs because of the time you took to complete the quest. Did you forget? You were given six months, but you ended up completing it in just three. Of course, I canʼt say other future quests will have such a hidden feature, but itʼs a good thing to look forward to and make you put in more effort.]

The twins nodded after that. It was obviously a good thing to get more from quests. ʼWith that said, our Nascent Souls should be back in two weeks, more or less.ʼ Rean reiterated.

Obviously, none of the people and demon beasts there heard the twins. Clinbay and the others still had a very ugly expression on their faces after seeing Rean get rid of the altar with that being inside. ”Sigh... with that thing in our hands, we could have forced it to bring us back to the Realm of Gods.”

Rean shrugged his shoulders. ”You canʼt blame me. That thing wanted to destroy the entire Upside Down World, killing all of us in the process. I just wanted it to be gone as fast as possible. Besides, nothing guarantees that it would help us, especially after we disrupted its plans.”

There was one more reason for Rean to have done that. Without a doubt, the being on the altar considered the twins to be his archnemesis. What if he said that he would only bring everyone out if they killed the twins? That was totally possible.

Some noticed that point, but they couldnʼt prove that Rean and Roan had that in mind. In the end, they simply couldnʼt complain after Reanʼs words.

After that, many of the experts there took turns to ask the twins the things they were curious about. After all, few knew that the twins ʼcameʼ from the Sacred Undersea Kingdom. The good thing was that Vaz and the others from the purging organization already expected that, so they kept close to the twins, just in case.

Other than that, there was Giam and the few other elders that they captured.

In the end, it turned out that even Giamʼs Light Seekers organization didnʼt know much about that being. They only cared about one thing, escaping the Upside Down World. Not to mention that the being didnʼt want to talk about itself even after Giam asked in the past.

However, it wasnʼt like there were no rewards after all the problems that happened. The white demon puppet was the only white powder thing that had World Essence inside. Naturally, that obviously caught the expertsʼ interest. Itʼs just that they had to agree to share it equally between the main powers of the Upside Down World. As to how they would do that, Rean and Roan couldnʼt care less.

”Can we head back now? I donʼt think thereʼs much for us to do here,” Celis, who was also there, asked.

”Wait a moment!” Sure enough, it wasnʼt so easy. ”We all havenʼt discussed the issue with the shooting formation of the purging organization. Sure, it turned out that anyone who used that would have died. However, the fact is that they built such a thing with the resources we provided them to run the organization.”

Clinbay narrowed his eyes before saying, ”I already told you. If anyone has a problem, you can all come at me. We can just kill each other to the end. The south side of the Upside Down World has already turned out like this. What would be the problem with destroying it a little more.”

”Wait a minute!” Havek then called everyoneʼs attention, saying, ”If all of you start fighting, it wonʼt be just the south side that will be like this. Some other kind of punishment is necessary, but definitely not a fight between experts of your level.”

Clinbay pondered over it for a bit and nodded in agreement. ”As long as it doesnʼt become a life and death battle, Iʼm willing to bear the consequences. As I said before, I truly intended to escape with my organization members alone.”

Rean then patted Clinbayʼs shoulder before he looked at the rest of the people. ”That should be enough, no? Just give a bit of punishment in the form of work or resources for the people and demon beasts of the purging organization. After all, all of you know that thereʼs a limit to the number of beings that could be carried in that formation. Let me ask you guys. If it was any of you who had a way out of here but also had limited vacancy, would you have told the other powers?”

Immediately, everyone went silent. There wasnʼt a need for anyone to ask. If only a few could escape, they would have kept it a secret until the very end.

Lutik was the first one to give up. In the end, the fact was that the purging organization failed miserably. ”Fine! I wonʼt force the issue. However, since the purging organization exists for all the other powersʼ sake, there will have to be a bit of restructuring.”

Prom was the second one to concede. ”And weʼll be taking back the Divine Stones you have accumulated.”

Wallib also had his piece. ”Iʼll send some of my own elders to your purging organization, and theyʼll have to be part of the main council. With that, I can keep better control of what you guys are doing there in case you come up with some other great idea.”

A few others also gave a few conditions, but nothing that went too far. Clinbay, of course, accepted all of that.

In the end, everyone reached an agreement. The only one who didnʼt have a good ending was Liman. Since he betrayed the purging organization, no one wanted him back there. The others didnʼt want him either, so the guy kind of ended up alone.

ʼHmph! As if I canʼt take care of myself,ʼ he thought before leaving on his own.

Sometime later, Clinbay returned with his elders to the purging organization. Of course, the twins and Celis were brought back together. Havek also went back to his sect, knowing that his formation would be useless in this place. He agreed to go talk with the twins later about Reanʼs escape method.

Things continued to be quite busy for the twins during the next few days, and so did for the purging organization. It wasnʼt until six days later that the twins finally were allowed to get some free time, which they used to go back to their own rooms with Celis.

One didnʼt need to be a genius to know that the twins and Celis entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm straight away.

However, the twins didnʼt try to spend their points. Instead, they went to check a certain altar that had appeared in the dimensional realm six days ago. ”Now then, mister tombstone. Shall we talk for a bit?”
