Death… And Me

Chapter 2783: Choose Carefully

Hyeoumu shook his head, which made the space tremble with just that simple movement. ”Children these days are truly bold. In any case, I have to refuse your offer. Even if I wanted to accept, I wouldnʼt be able to. Iʼm bound by an agreement, and I canʼt leave this

place. However, you can still save your lives. Just get out of my sight already. I would rather not get involved in the battles. Otherwise, I will have to bury you here.”

”Hahaha!” Horanʼs laughter echoed, a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere. ”You, bury us? Do you take us for fools? This Universe is incapable of containing Celestial Realm experts. Do you comprehend the gravity of that? It means, at best, you are a Semi-Celestial, just like us. And look around. The denizens of this Universe didnʼt even bother to come and aid you in your defense.”

”Donʼt worry,” Hyeoumu said. ”The kids of this Universe wanted to come. I was the one who said they would be useless and ordered them to do anything else other than come and bother me here. I am more than enough to deal with your little group.”

Horanʼs voice dripped with defiance. ”Is that so? Then letʼs put your words to the test and see what youʼre truly capable of.”

The four Semi-Celesitals immediately joined forces, and the attack commenced.

Even though the Heavens, Underworld, and Realm of Gods were being attacked by the Garisan Forces, these places were by far the most important locations. Half of the Garisan Fleet was used to attack them. As for th rest...

Deep in outer space, far from the Realm of Gods, there was s special place known by all experts who reached at least the Divinity Realm. Most Space-Time Realm experts were also aware of this location, and some even came here to take a look.

Here, the power of space, time, and elements increased countless times. It finally reached a point where no one could go further, even Semi-Celestials. Of course, the Semi-Celestials could go further than anyone else in this environment.

Far in the distance, tens of millions of kilometers away, there was a colossal pillar of dark and white light that extended as far as the eye could see. And yet, what those who were there could see wasnʼt even a fraction of the pillarʼs total size. This pillar released a pressure capable of suppressing everything, including the laws of the Universe.

That was obviously the Universe Foundation Pillar, the same one that got cracked and lost Fourteen Fragments. If one looked at it with a little more attention, one would see that the energy surrounding it flickered. The waves of pressure emitted by it also oscillated nonstop, something that the experts who knew it had never experienced before.

Letʼs not forget that the Pillar also acted as the filter for the Chaos Energy of the Chaos Origin Source once it got past the barrier that protected the source itself. With the Chaos Origin Source Weakened, it naturally affected the Universe Foundation Pillar. Thatʼs why such phenomena are happening to it now.

Too bad, though. At the moment, all the experts in the area couldnʼt care less about it. Thatʼs because, right in front of them, the other half of the Garisan Fleet stood. Almost fifty Spaceships, each one no smaller than the Ruins of the Stars, some even bigger.

On the side of the Lisan Universe, Gragatou, Kafan, Huban, and quite a few more Semi- Celestials waited. Semi-Celestial Realm alone, you already had fifteen of them, and that was only the Semi-Celestials that made their presence visible. One couldnʼt discard the possibility of more being hidden. In their surroundings, hundreds of Divinity Realm experts at various stages also stood watching the Garisan forces in the distance. You could find the Leviathans in there as well.

The lower the cultivation, the more experts there were. With all realms gathered together for this one reason, even the most seclude experts that never came out before made themselves present.

Tens of thousands of Space-Time Realm experts.

Tens of millions of Elemental Space Realm experts.

From there and below, the number of experts entered the hundreds of millions mark.

By the time you reached the Void Temping Realm, it was already in the hundreds of billions. However, thatʼs where it stopped. Except for a few exceptions here and there, you couldnʼt see experts in the Transition Realm and below. The reason was simple, most of them wouldnʼt be able to resist the Universe Foundation Pillarʼs pressure, so their presence was meaningless.

On the Garisan side, they werenʼt much different. Ten Semi-Celestial Experts stood. Still, it went the same way for them. You could see ten, but were these truly all their Semi-Celestials? No one truly believed that.

Suddenly, a small spaceship, no more than a few kilometers in size, approached the front of the battlefield, positioning itself between the two armies. Compared to the Spaceship behind, it looked like nothing but a spec of dust. Nonetheless, the Garisan forces looked at that ship with respect.

Gragatou, Kafan, Nayaʼil, and Kilindou looked at each other and nodded. They moved to the front, stopping a few kilometers away from the small Spaceship.

A few seconds later, a holographic image tens of times bigger than the ship appeared, showing the picture of a man who seemed to be in his thirties. It was Flavio Trokʼre, the Celestial Realm expert.

”So you are the ants who managed to destroy our Omni Vortexes, uh?” Flavio spoke with contempt.

”Omni Vortexes?” Gragatou narrowed his eyes. ”Are you talking about the Grape Vortex?”

”Thatʼs a name from when the project of the construct was still in its conceptual phase by the Lingan Universe,” Flavio explained. ”Our Garisan Universe had a much better understanding of this kind of Universe Scale Machines, so after we conquered Lingan, we concluded the project and gave it a more suiting name.”

Gragatou and the others took a deep breath. This was the first time they talked to the invaders, so they knew nothing about them. Now, the first thing they found out was that the Garisan forces were capable of conquering a Universe that was also a threat to them. They found from Romario and the twins that Lingan was a Universe with quite a few other Universes under its wings. And yet, it was defeated by the guys in front of them. They would have to choose their words carefully from now on.
