Death… And Me

Chapter 2247 Take Down

Jeskli and Rean attacked the barrier nonstop. Rean even called Roan and Celis out to help. Yet, their combined power seemed to be lacking. They couldnʼt even scratch the surface. ”Fuck!”

Jeskli then stopped his attacks, knowing that he was just wasting his energy. ”What the hell happened inside?! How come you are alive?”

Rean also stopped, knowing that his father had given them a few days to evacuate the Floating Islands of Time. ”I found out the Archangel was someone I knew from the past. Thatʼs why I thought I could convince him to stop this madness with a talk. Thatʼs also the reason the Archangel didnʼt kill me.”

”And who is the Archangel?” Jeksli continued his questions.

”The name is Romario Faran,” Rean decided to explain. ”From what I found, he came from outside the Universe. To be more specific, he arrived at this Universe with the Ruins of Stars. He was one of its crew members. Believe it or not, he was also the one who sabotaged the Ruins of the Stars.”

”What?!” Jeskli was obviously shocked to hear all of that. ”How did you find out about it? Also, how do you know someone like that? Did you come from outside the Universe as well?”

Rean looked at Roan, who simply nodded. ʼItʼs not like it is a secret anyway. A lot of people in the Realm of Gods already know we are reincarnations. Just donʼt mention anything about our own fragments, the unification plan, and the Soul Gem System.ʼ

Rean then took a deep breath and used his Divine Sense to tell everything to Jeskli so they wouldnʼt waste time talking.

Jeskli, obviously, had an expression of disbelief. ”Reincarnation? You were a reincarnation, and that Archangel was your father in your previous life?”

Rean nodded. ”Unfortunately, it seems like even my status as his son was not enough to stop Romario from continuing with his plan. Donʼt misunderstand me, though. When I was alive in my previous life, I had absolutely no idea my father was an Archangel. I was nothing but a mortal back then, you know? Anyway, what matters at the moment is that he insists on continuing with his plan.”

Jeskli had his doubts about Reanʼs story, but he didnʼt insist. ”Alright, it makes sense why he would spare your life. However, it doesnʼt change the situation we are in at the moment. If we donʼt stop him, my Islands are done for.”

Rean nodded. ”He said that because of me, he decided to give us a few days to evacuate the Floating Islands of Time. If we donʼt find a way in, we will really have to retreat and bring the Minokawas away.”

*Dum!*

Suddenly, a sound coming from far away was heard. When everyone looked in that direction, they saw two big White and Black Birds on the ground. That wasnʼt all. The formation trapping them on this mountain also disappeared, allowing them to go out any time they wanted. All the formations in that place were gone, leaving only the Cubic Light Barrier at the very top.

The two birds were obviously Kentucky and Lily-Yu, who had been waiting outside. ”Eh?! What happened?!”

Kentucky then looked at Rean and Roan further up the mountain. ”Oh! Rean, Roan! You guys finally decided to show your faces. I was starting to get worried.”

Lily-Yu snorted in response. ”Worried? Your ass! You had literally fallen asleep while you were waiting!”

Kentucky looked away, pretending to now know anything. ”I donʼt know what you are talking about. Look at how relieved my face is now that Iʼm seeing everyone.”

Roan narrowed his eyes. ”The only thing I can see on your face is how much it can annoy me.”

Kentucky quickly flew up the mountain now that no restrictions of flight were present, landing on everyoneʼs side. Lili-Yu, obviously, went there as well. ”So... since the formations are all gone, I believe you succeeded, right? I can feel that the messy space has stopped getting worse. Can we leave now?”

*pah!*

Jeskli immediately hit Kentuckyʼs back head. ”Leave your ass! If we leave now, the Floating Islands of Time are doomed!”

Kentucky felt wronged. ”It was just a question. You havenʼt told me anything, so why canʼt I be optimistic?”

Lili-Yu was a lot more serious. ”So, Senior Jeskli-Go, what can we do?”

Jeskli shook his head and looked at Rean. Rean understood it and used his Divine Sense to once again explain to Kentucky and Lily-Yu the situation they were in.

”What?! He was your father?!” Kentucky was obviously surprised. ”Arenʼt your fathers way too overpowered?”

”Fathers?” Jeskli narrowed his eyes.

”Ahem!” Rean quickly cut Kentuckyʼs words there. ”Anyway, we are without options at the moment. We canʼt get through the Cubic Light Barrier to stop Romario from reactivating his formation.”

Kentucky looked at Rean and Roan as if they were idiots. ʼWhy would you have a problem with it? Sister Orb only needs three days to take control of the formation, doesnʼt she? Since Reanʼs father gave you even more days than that, canʼt you simply wait?ʼ

[Finally, someone remembered I still existed...]

Rean truly felt like an idiot, as he also remembered when Roan told Sister Orb to continue to try to hack into the formation. ʼAhem... we were too worried. Good job, Sister Orb!ʼ

Roan just looked away, feeling like something was wrong with him for not remembering something he had asked himself.

[Hmph! Now you remember to thank me.] Well, she didnʼt really care that much. [Anyway, in fact, I wonʼt need three days to hack into this formation anymore.]

Rean and Roanʼs interest was immediately picked. ʼOh! How come?ʼ

[Thatʼs because I had to deal with all the formations at once. However, the majority of them were deactivated. Now I can focus on this Cubic Light Barrier alone. However, you will have to think about what you will do once I open it.]

The twins nodded, knowing that it was the most important part.

”Senior Jeskli,” Rean turned to the Minokawa, ”I think I can take this formation down.”
