Death… And Me

Chapter 2672  I Donʼt Remember

Those werenʼt news to anyone. As the twins absorbed the Purple Crystal back in the cave, the information about the plans for a full attack on the tower rapidly spread to the experts who made their way closer to the tower. Those who didnʼt want to have anything with it had long since left, which left only those who wanted to enter the tower to seek treasures or more Chaos Laws to help with their Lawsʼ comprehension.

The weaker experts were not present. Those ones were still collecting the Chaos Laws items far away from the tower. That left only experts in the Elemental Space Realm and above, which were still a few hundred of them.

As the people spread to prepare for the attack, Kafan took the chance to come talk with Roan. Of course, he used Divine Sense for it. ʼSo... were you able to prevent your memories from resurfacing?ʼ

Roan glanced at him and shook his head. ʼI have awakened all my memories as Lolio. However, Iʼm not Lolio. I guess even you didnʼt expect this, but Lolio awakened as a separate consciousness. I sealed his consciousness with Reanʼs Light Element so that he wouldnʼt disappear. Later, Iʼm throwing him into a Puppet.ʼ

ʼWhat?!ʼ Kafan was shocked by that news. ʼI thought...ʼ

ʼI know what you thought,ʼ Roan cut him. ʼIʼm not Lolio, the end. Now, that doesnʼt mean I have a lot to complain to you. Even though Lolioʼs memories are clearly separated from my own, I know them all. I saw very well how you almost wiped out this entire planet.ʼ

Kafan still had a surprised expression, but he managed to recover a little. ʼSigh... Yes, I committed a huge sin back then. You already know Iʼm one of the oldest Semi-Celesitals in existence. Even back then, I was stuck in the Semi-Celesital Realm for a very long time already. I couldnʼt hold myself back in the end. I wanted to give that try; I wanted to reach the illusory Celestial Realm. It was all due to my greed.ʼ

Roan went silent for a second before continuing. ʼHowever, Iʼm not the one to blame you. I donʼt know what I would have done if I was you back then. Besides, it was also clear in Lolioʼs memories that you still cared deeply about him. I guess thatʼs also the reason why you cared so much about me as well.ʼ

Kafan didnʼt deny it. ʼI did, and I still do. However, Iʼm not an idiot. I know that Roan is NOT Lolio. You two had different lives, different memories, and different paths at different times. I care about you as much as I care about Lolio. So much so that I couldnʼt settle my mind around awakening Lolioʼs memories or not. After all, it would have been all too easy to simply shatter that crystal I gave you to force Lolioʼs memories to awake.ʼ

ʼBut you were also afraid of doing it, werenʼt you?ʼ Roan asked, seeing through the lines. ʼYes,ʼ Kafan didnʼt try to hide his thoughts. ʼI also had other fears. Would Lolio forgive me? I doubt so. Also, what about Laweia? She is dead, so would he want to keep living after finding out about it? I didnʼt want to see Lolio awakening just to take his own life away.ʼ

Roan then spoke of the time Lolio awakened in his sea of mind. ʼI talked to him... a lot. I sealed his consciousness not just because he would disappear if I didnʼt but because he wanted to disappear as well.ʼ

Kafan heard that and felt even more shame. ʼI knew it... All because of me...ʼ

However, there was one thing Roan had to ask. ʼWhen I was sealing Lolio, I told him that since he was able to reawake, why wouldnʼt Laweia? I could feel the hope germinating in his consciousness when he heard that. But... you just said Laweia is dead, which brings us to my next question. What happened when you brought Lolio and Laweiaʼs bodies into the Chaos Origin Source? Or better, what happened with you as well?ʼ

After Kafan heard that Roan got Lolioʼs memories back, he already expected that question to come up at some point. ʼSo you figured out that place was probably the Chaos Origin Source, uh? Well, where do I start-ʼ

ʼWait!ʼ Roan stopped him, though. ʼIʼm sure you can also feel Bunbunʼs presence nearby. Iʼm not the only one interested in it, so include him in our Divine Sense conversation.ʼ

ʼDoes he know about you?ʼ Kafan asked back.

Roan just nodded.

ʼI understand...ʼ Kafan could only accept it.

Hidden somewhere nearby while using Chaos Laws to escape everyoneʼs perception, Bunbun oberved all the groups making their preparations and kept special attention to the twins. It was then that Kafanʼs voice echoed in his mind. ʼRoan told me you also wanted to hear what happened after I entered the Spatial Distortion. I already intended to tell you back in the ruins, but you sent me away. Would you hear it now?ʼ

Bunbun narrowed his eyes. Yet, now that he knows Lolio is alive, his anger isnʼt as huge as before. ʼFine... Let me hear it.ʼ

Kafan didnʼt waste time. ʼAlright, I will also include Rean, Kentucky, and Celis since it is pretty obvious you all heard the whole story.ʼ

Well, Rean was hearing it anyway through his connection with Roan, which obviously meant Sister Orb heard it. Only Celis and Kentucky were really added. Naturally, Celis and Kentuckyʼs attentions were easily picked.

ʼBack then, I truly thought Lolio and Laweia had died,ʼ Kafan started. ʼIt was all because I wanted to enter that place. Be aware that we didnʼt know about the Chaos Origin Source back then, so I only saw the place the tower came from as a location that could possibly allow me to reach the Celestial Realm.ʼ

Kafan continued. ʼHowever, It turned out that I didnʼt enter the Chaos Origin Source. Instead, I ended up in a different place, a place no one had access to. And there... I met the Universe Sentience.ʼ

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis immediately turned their attention to Sister Orb inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

[Hey, donʼt look at me! I donʼt remember shit!]
