Death… And Me

Chapter 2733  Opening

As the enormous formation activated, all the Divine Stones began to release their energy. The entire Island trembled, although this shaking didnʼt influence the artifact itself. Spatial Laws and Power seemed to be affected, freezing in place. Reanʼs Formation was very simple and, at the same time, complicated. Since the connection of Water Elements and Energy was done through Spatial Powers, Space had to be altered in some form to link the Island. Itʼs pretty much the same principle as Teleportation and Spatial Gates.

So, there were two ways to stop it:

One, obviously, was to cause the Space to go chaotic. The twins always got concerned about using the Circuitry Teleport Formation in a chaotic space exactly because it would result in them being thrown into some random location in the Universe. However, this method couldnʼt be said to be useful since it didnʼt really stop the Islandsʼs streams of Water Elements and Divine Energy. It would just cause a lot of it to be sent to different corners of the universe, but some of it would still make it through the chaos.

The second method to stop that ʼalterationʼ of Space was to do the opposite. You need to strengthen the Space itself. This was the one Rean selected. As long as he solidified space enough, the alterations necessary to keep that flow of Water Elements and Divine Energy could not occur. Simply put, Rean was making it impossible for the streams to enter the fabric of space and travel or arrive to and from other Islands.

This one, however, was a lot more complicated. Not only were the streams very strong, affecting space itself, but space wasnʼt a very tangible concept. Thus, he had to use a Divine Level Formation. Only with something of this level and enough high-level Divine Energy Stones would he be able to strengthen the surrounding space to the point the streams couldnʼt travel anymore.

”How is it, Luan,” Rean asked as he watched the formation work. Space was solidifying more and more as the formation quickly reached its peak power.

Luan nodded. ”It is working. The stream trying to leave the Island is starting to find it difficult to break space. As for the stream arriving at the Island is getting smaller and smaller.”

*Rumble...*

Suddenly, the entire Island began to shake, and this time, the artifact inside it did as well. In fact, it was the enormous artifact from the Natural Formation that caused the Island to tremble. Luan quickly looked down, watching the natural artifact in the center of the Island. ”Uncle Rean, that huge source of Water Elements and Divine Energy inside the pyramid is growing chaotic. Seems like the streams were what kept it working until now.”

Rean nodded with a smile. ”Good. We made this formation so it wouldnʼt break easily. Just let it do as it pleases and tell me if it is about to explode or anything.”

Luan nodded and continued to observe the center of the Island. Kentucky was already in mid air in his real form, having both Sonzei and Fafa on his back. Fafa, obviously, was in her humanoid form instead. Kentucky was the one responsible for protecting them.

Finally, the formation reached its peak power, and space itself seemed to freeze. The two streams of Water Elements and Divine Energy completely stopped. The stream trying to leave the Island began to accumulate inside the Formationʼs Range while the stream coming for the Island was nowhere to be seen anymore.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

Rean didnʼt need Luan to tell him. His Divine Sense was able to see several cracks appearing on the big nine-sided pyramid that all his attack power couldnʼt leave a single scratch. ”Luan?”

Luan narrowed his eyes. ”I can see the artifact breaking down... and the Water Elements and Divine Energy inside it are quite chaotic, no doubt. However, it is nowhere near enough to cause an explosion. It is more like... more like... more like something is trying to escape the artifact instead.”

Rean was taken aback. ”Wait! Are you saying this natural formation was acting like some kind of prison for whatever is inside the pyramid?”

”Maybe...” Luan wasnʼt sure either. ”But there is definitely something trying to come out. That, Iʼm certain.”

*Zush, zush!*

As soon as Luan said that, Roan and Celis appeared outside. It wasnʼt like they werenʼt paying attention. Itʼs just that nothing required them to appear until now, so they stayed in the Dimensional Realm training. ”Rean, are you going for it?” Roan asked.

Rean nodded. ”I donʼt have any other clue regarding the fragment, so I might as well see what we are bringing out.”

”Very well,” Roan agreed with his reason. ”Luan, be ready.”

Luan faintly smiled. It took time, but Roan didnʼt simply ask him to return to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm anymore. It showed Roan trusted his abilities.

*Crack, crack, crack, crack...*

*Bang!*

Finally, that nine-sided pyramid natural artifact exploded, blasting everything in its surroundings away.

Rean, Roan, Luan, and Kentucky instantly jumped away, dodging the debris coming from the Island. They were unphased, as such a small thing wasnʼt of any danger at their Level. Fafa and Sonzei were different, though. They were scared of their wits as the power released just now would have killed them instantly.

Rean couldnʼt help but sigh a little. With the destruction of the Island, so was his Formation. ʼI worked so hard to make it... Well, at least it achieved its purpose.ʼ

Space immediately resumed its natural flow, but the artifact was no more. Instead, something completely different came out of it.

”Hum?” Luan was the first one to notice with his Sacred Eyes and Space Affinity. ”Father, Uncle Rean, a Spatial Gate opened.”

*ROARRR!!!*

That roar caused the twinsʼ group to be on guard. *Arrrrrgh!*

However, Sonzei, on Kentuckyʼs back, felt it more than anyone else. His whole body began to shine with a blue color, and he started to contort in pain.

”Sonzei!” Fafa was alarmed and quickly held him. However, his pain seemed to continue.

Rean bitterly smiled. He had no time to check Sonzei now. Thatʼs because a gigantic serpent-like monster began to exit the Spatial Gate at a frightening speed.
