Death… And Me

Chapter 2169 Tuanna

Tuanna quickly grabbed those two with her Spatial Powers, pulling them close. ”Where is it? Where is it?! Give me!”

Luluch felt his body going cold as he knew he had to give an answer. ”We are sorry, ancestor. We failed the mission. We couldnʼt get the Foreign Universe Foundation Fragment during this expedition.”

”What?!” Tuannaʼs expression turned cold as she began to exert her strength on Luluch and Itihis. ”You had one job! Take the Fragment and come back. Everything else was of no concern. Not to mention that you had that guyʼs blood and ID Card to use inside the ship. How could you fail?!”

*Arrrgh...*

”We-We couldnʼt do anything... Th-There was ano-ther survivor...* Luluch had to do his best just to utter those words. Itihis couldnʼt even do that.

Immediately, the pressure disappeared as Luluch and Itihis fell to the ground, coughing. They then looked at Tuanna and could see the expression of disbelief on her face. ”T-that guy, something like a green jelly, had a higher authority than the ID card we got from you, ancestor. The jelly was able o cancel our puppetʼs clearance level completely, making us completely unable to fight back.”

Itihis quickly nodded. ”We had to use the Spatial Displacement Disk to escape as it had used the shipʼs defense system to trap us down. We simply had no chance. Not to mention the most important thing was that we needed to warn you.”

Tuanna then grabbed Itihis, who had lower cultivation than Luluch, before using a Soul Searching Technique. She didnʼt want to hear it from them. She wanted to know everything that happened inside the Spaceship herself. 

Luluch watched as Itihis contorted in pain. A Soul Search was anything but good for oneʼs soul. It would already be very good if one just became a retard by the end. Most of the cases, the target died after such a procedure.

*Tud!*

Suddenly, Itihisʼs body fell to the ground, not showing any signs of movement. All Luluch could see was a blank expression in the eyes while foam came out of Itihisʼs mouth. It was obvious that although Itihis was still alive, his conscience was gone. There was no saving for him anymore.

With great fear, Luluch then looked at Tuanna. However, he quickly noticed that Tuanna wasnʼt paying attention to him anymore. Instead, she was totally focused on the things that happened in the Reactor Room. Well, the memories of it.

After a few minutes, Tuanna finally finished going through the entire event. ”How could that be...? There wasnʼt supposed to be anyone else alive anymore. Where did that guy come from? Also... How did the Angel and Devil succeed in separating the two fragments from each other?”

As Tuanna pondered the issue, she quickly noticed something. ”Right, there is no way someone could have separated the Fragments. They are just too strong. That said, the only other thing capable of separating those two would be another fragment. That Spatial Passage that opened near the Angel and the Devil. Iʼm pretty sure there was another Universe Foundation Fragment inside. Perhaps more than one.”

The Vruve Organization that was controlled by Tuanna had ears everywhere in all Realms except the Angel Realm. She had received reports in the past about lost fragments. For example, she knew the Swamp of No Return had a fragment for sure, but now it was gone. ”Could it be the same force? One of those two was a Devil, after all...”

However, she quickly shook her head in the end. ”Forget it. The Fragments of our Universe arenʼt that important. Someone, attend me!”

Immediately, a shadow came out of nowhere, quickly kneeling down in front of Tuanna. ”Yes, Ancestor.”

”Immediately gather the available Space-Time Realm cultivators in the area and depart for the Spaceship,” Tuanna ordered. ”Send some DIvinity Realm experts together so that no one of those idiots of the Heaven, Underworld and Realm of Gods try to stop them. I donʼt care how you do it but get them inside the Spaceship. They must retrieve the Foreign Universe Foundation Fragment.”

”As you wish.” The shadow acknowledged the order and left straight away.

Tuanna still felt somewhat worried, though. ”Gem, was that you? I havenʼt got any new information since all those years back. We destroyed an entire planet to get rid of you. If it really is, then you are one damn persistent fly.”

Tuanna completely ignored Luluch on the ground and left right after. She was going to the Spaceship herself.

Luluch gulped as he saw her leaving, feeling like he was given a new lease on life. ʼSo fucking scary...ʼ

Back inside the Spaceship, Rean, Roan, Luan, Waremis, and Spiegel had finally met each other. Turns out the nearest Nanotech Sick Bay to them was in the fourth Region, which they had to teleport over to arrive. Nonetheless, it only took them a few minutes to do so as the system showed them the right path, and nothing blocked their way anymore.

*Tud!* 

”This...” Suddenly, Hastian fell to the ground. He had a puzzled expression, not understanding what was happening. He had been locked inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm for over a month without anywhere to go. 

However, he quickly noticed Spiegel and Waremis, who were obviously angels. ”S-Sirs! Please help me! These two individuals invaded the Heaven Realm! You must help me eliminate them!”

Yet, Spiegel touched Hastianʼs head, pouring his Divine Origin Energy inside. Hastian then lost consciousness without being able to do anything. The difference in cultivation was just too big. ”Alright, Rean, is this enough?”𝓝𝚘𝗏𝗲𝗅𝑢𝒮𝑩.𝗰𝗈𝓶

”As long as you didnʼt use any method that could contaminate his soul, then it is fine,” Rean answered back.

On their side, there were several pods similar to the one they found Tanxan. However, there were a few differences that Rean, Roan, and Laun couldnʼt tell what they were for. 

-Please add the two specimens, one in each Nano Recovery Pod.-

Rean threw Hastian inside one of the pods while looking at Waremis. ”Thatʼs it, senior Waremis. Now you can only trust us and get inside the other pod. Of course, if you think it is too dangerous, we can leave straight away. We will open a passage for you and Spiegel to return to the Heaven Realm.”

”Hmph!” Waremis immediately jumped inside without thinking twice. ”I donʼt care how dangerous it might be or how much I can trust you. If there is even the slightest chance of this working, Iʼll gladly risk my life for it. Go ahead and do what you have to do.”

Rean nodded before ordering the system. ”Start the procedure. System, you must try to find the reason why Hastian is controlled and devise a cure.”

-Request accepted.-
