Death… And Me

Chapter 2167 From Outside

”The reason Iʼm contacting you is not just to say the defense system wonʼt attack anymore. It is also to say that this Spaceship is about to jump out of this Universe,” Rean warned Waremis and Spiegel.

”What?!” Naturally, the two angels were not expecting that. ”When?!”

”In a few hours,” Rean explained. ”In a few hours, this ship will attempt to leave this Universe. However, because of the damage it suffered, there is a very high chance that it will explode. I probably donʼt need to tell what will happen to anyone inside if that happens, right?”

Waremis nodded. ”Itʼs certain death for sure.” As for whether he believed Reanʼs words that the ship could possibly explode or not, he didnʼt say. ”So, why are you telling us this?”

”Because we donʼt really want you two to die,” Rean simply told the truth. ”We will order this ship to show you the path leading to a teleportation platform. There, you will be able to take a Spatial Gate that will lead you straight to the Heaven Realm. Of course, if you wish to try and leave this Universe, you can simply stay on the ship and take your chances. Roan and I have things to do in the Realm of Gods, so we wonʼt be accompanying you if you decide so.”

Waremis immediately shook his head. ”We have our Clan that we canʼt possibly leave behind. We will naturally stay.”

Rean already expected that. ”Very well, System, point out the direction these two need to take to arrive at the nearest teleportation platform capable of sending them to the Heaven Realm.” 

Sure enough, many holographic arrows appeared all around Waremis and Spiegel, showing them the path they should take. ”This is quite a convenient feature of this system of yours. By the way, you know why we came to this place, donʼt you?”

Rean and Roan nodded. ”You came after resources that could help Spiegel reach the Archangel Level.”

”Exactly,” Waremis was happy they still remembered. ”Unfortunately, other than some weird materials, we found nothing else. Besides, we have only so much space in our Spatial Rings, so we canʼt just bring with us any junk. Canʼt you help us find something that could help us?”

It was then that Roan decided to ask something he had been curious about for a long time already. ”Could you first explain to us what is happening in the Heaven Realm? After what we have seen so far, it is pretty obvious that something isnʼt right with all the other angels. Why do I feel like they are just puppets?”

Waremis narrowed his eyes, thinking about it for a moment. Spiegel then touched his shoulder and nodded at him. ”It is not like it will make things worse if they know. The higher-ups of the other Higher Realms definitely know about it already.”

Waremis sighed and nodded in the end. ”Very well. The point is that the Angel Races had never been this ʼcommittedʼ to the Heaven Realmʼs causes. We were indeed a lot more compassionate than the Devils or Cultivators, but it definitely wasnʼt to the point where we would give our lives for others that easily.”

Spiegel continued. ”Everything started millions of years ago. It was when that guy reached the level of an Archangel.”

”That guy?” Rean and Roan remembered something. ”Are you talking about that Archangel that you didnʼt know the name of? Now that I think about it, Spiegel seemed to get a little absent-minded when he looked at him before we entered the Spaceship.”

Spiegel felt a chill on his back when he thought about it. ”Fortunately, Waremis was there to wake me up. Yes, thatʼs the guy we are talking about. We donʼt know who he is, where he came from, or anything like that. All we know is that the Heaven Realm changed with his appearance. Not counting a very few exceptions like our Clan, all the Angels Races in the Heaven Realm seemed to be brainwashed. It became an entity that seems to exist solely for the sake of its realm, regardless of the cost.”

”So I was right...” Roan added. ”How come it only affects angels?”

”We donʼt know,” Waremis took from there. ”We have been searching for an answer for a very, very long time. Our Clanʼs Ancestors passed this mission to us from generation to generation. As for me, Iʼve been in charge of the Clan for around one-third of the time since that event.”

”One-third?!” Rean was taken aback. ”You said it has been millions of years since it started, right? Have you been alive this long? No, thatʼs not correct. One only becomes truly immortal after entering the Space-Time Realm. You are definitely in the Elemental Space Realm, so you shouldnʼt be able to live this long.”

Luan then guessed on the side. ”He is a reincarnation, right?”

Only now did Waremis and Spiegel notice Luanʼs presence. ”Who is this?”

”Donʼt worry. You can trust him,” Roan said just that.

It wasnʼt like Waremis and Spiegel had much of a choice anyway. ”Whatever. The boy there is correct. Iʼm a reincarnation of one of the ancestors of our Clan. Thatʼs why I hold a higher position in the Clan than Spiegel himself.”𝐧𝒪𝗏𝚎𝐋𝗎𝓈𝕓.𝕔𝑶𝓂

Rean and Roan had reincarnated themselves, so it wasnʼt hard to believe Waremis. ”So thatʼs how it is, uh? In any case, the Heaven Realm situation seems pretty serious... and at the same time not. They even have the strength to attack the Underworld now.”

Waremis didnʼt deny that. ”Perhaps you are right. We also thought many times about whether we were wrong or right. But in the end, we still prefer everyone to have their free will. Thatʼs why we fight it... well, thatʼs why we wanted to fight it. Unfortunately, we kept quiet until now since we have never found a way to break this curse the angels go through. We simply canʼt find out how the angels are being manipulated. Believe me. We have tried everything you could imagine in this Universe.”

Rean, Roan, and Luan had to admit he was right. After so long, no one could find out an answer to that. Yet, Rean suddenly had an idea. ”You have tried everything in this Universe... but have you tried something from outside this Universe?”
