Death… And Me

Chapter 2549 Ally?

Iolanda looked at Rean. ”If we can leave through the altars, we truly have no reason to stay here anymore, Rean. Whether Lostrai can leave or not, we couldnʼt care less. If depended on me, I would have Lotar throw this guy inside a black hole like he said.”

”The offer is still up, queen,” Lotar added.

Rean thought about this issue. ”Lostrai, are you locked in this Dimensional Realm? Could it be this Dimensional Realm sustains itself because of your existence or something like that?” Lostrai was Universe Foundation Fragment, so it wasnʼt hard to think that much. That theory became even stronger in Reanʼs mind due to the amount of energy Lostrai can use at the moment.

Lostrai was a Universe Foundation Fragment, and all the Fragments Rean found until now were full of energy and Dark and Light Elements. Not to mention Spatial and Time powers too. They caused many phenomena, so it was weird for Lostrai to become that weak just because he lost his external source of energy. He shouldnʼt even need something like that.

What did that mean? It meant that Lostraiʼs own energies were already being used by something. The fact he came to the Chasm and was still in that state showed that it didnʼt matter which location in the Azum Dimensional Realm he was. As long as Lostrai was in the Azum Dimensional Realm, his energy as a Fragment continued to be consumed. If thatʼs the case, it was understandable why he couldnʼt leave like everyone else. He was bound to this place. Thus, Reanʼs theory that Lostrai might be what keeps this Dimensional Realm running.

Lostrai went silent for a moment and commented. ”You are not wrong. If destroying the city facilities was enough to get me free, I would have done that a long time ago. Why would I need the help of the Shadow Ferals to open a breach with their corrosive laws?”

Iolanda sighed and decided to leave. ”Lotar, gather everyone. We are leaving this place for good. Since this guy is bound to this Dimensional Realm, we might as well leave him behind. Rean, if you want him, you will have to find a way to get him free on your own.”

Rean nodded. ”No problem. However, I donʼt think it would be a good idea for you guys to leave now.”

”Why is that?” Lotar asked.

”You are Dark Element Affinity Angel Beasts. You might not know this, but after so many years, a huge city has been built around the Azum Dimensional Realm. It is used as a training ground for young angels. If you leave this place, you will fall right in the middle of that city, which has countless angels, including very strong ones. The city itself has its own protection formations as well,” Rean explained.

Lotar narrowed his eyes. ”We might have Dark Element Affinity, but we are still Angel Beasts. We lived in the Heavens before we ended in this place, so why would anyone attack us?”

Iolanda knew the answer. ”I have Aelrieʼs memories. There has been no such thing as Shadow Ferals in the Heavens, from what she knows.”

”Thatʼs not the worst,” Rean added. ”The worst part is that you would most likely be hunted down. The angels evolved and grew in power by leaps and bounds during all this time. There is no way they will just accept a Dark Element Race establishing itself in the Angel Realm. And I might also mention that they have quite a few Peak Stage Archangels. Lotar will have no chance against them. After all, the Angel Realm is mostly Light Element, so Lotar would be at a huge disadvantage even if he wasnʼt outnumbered or had lower cultivation. It is similar to how strong you all are in this Chasm with its huge concentration of Dark Element.”

Iolanda nodded. ”He is right, Lotar. I should have thought about it since I have Aelrieʼs memories.”

Lotar gave up gathering the Shadow Ferals. ”Then, what do you suggest?”N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapterʼs release on N0v3l--B1n.

Rean smiled and used his Divine Energy to bring a certain duo into the conversation. Sure enough, this duo was Kijia and Fuhiro, who were still with their cultivations sealed. They had been kept afar during the conversation so they wouldnʼt hear anything. But now it was time to bring them forward. ”Instead of antagonizing each other, why donʼt you ally?”

”WHAT?!”

Let alone Iolanda, everyone had the same reaction and spoke at the same time.

Iolanda then looked at Rean with an ugly expression. ”Are you looking to get a beating? Do you expect our Shadow Ferals to ally with these guys, the same ones who killed my mother?”

”Hey, hey, listen to me first, alright?” Rean raised his hands. ”Iolanda, you have Aelrieʼs memories, so you know the Holamenor Clan has a HUGE reputation in the Heavens at the moment. They were the ones who saved the Angel Races, after all. If they vouch for your Shadow Feral Race, even the angels who hate Dark Element Races the most will have to swallow it.”

Rean then went to explain everything about the Holamenor Clan to Lotar on the side so that he could help Iolanda with this decision. ”What do you think, Lotar? I know you and Iolanda and your Shadow Feral Race would hate such an arrangement. However, if you think about your raceʼs future in the Realm of Gods, allying with the Holamenor Clan would indeed guarantee your place out there.”

Lotar narrowed his eyes and looked at Iolanda. The final decision was hers, but he had to admit that the future of their race was in play at the moment. ”Queen... perhaps it would be worth thinking about it.”

Iolanda gritted her teeth. ”Are we to become their subordinates just like that?”

”Of course not!” Rean immediately shook his head. ”Iʼm talking about an alliance of equal terms. The Holamenor Clan wishes to strengthen their Shadow Feral Bloodline, so why wouldnʼt they accept it?”

Fuhiro raised his hand. ”I can vouch we would love to have that chance.”

”You shut up!” Iolanda ordered with a murderous gaze. She then returned her attention to Rean. ”Chances are they will betray us as soon as they get what they need.”

Rean smiled after hearing that. ”They wonʼt. The deal I have with them should be enough for Waremis and Spiegel to hold their horses.”

Iolanda was taken aback. ”The law pills...”
