Death… And Me

Chapter 2836: Canʼt Escape

The twins entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm with Kafan. There, Roan brought out the small Cube and showed its power. After speaking for a while, Roan made a request. ”Master, I have full control over this thing. Can you try and see if you can break its defenses?”

Kafan was impressed to hear this Cube was probably something as powerful as the Underworld Relic, so he quickly nodded. ”Of course! You still have one Foreign Fragment from Hyeoumu, so use it to power the Cube.”

Soon, Roan took the Foreign Fragment and opened the Cube just like the last time. After inserting the Fragment, the Cube closed and activated, showing that any Fragment would be a good enough source of power. ”It will be a problem to find another source of power for it once we trade the Fragment, but we can think about it later.”

*Bzzz...!*

The cube immediately shined with a golden light before that light shot into the distance. As fast as it was recalled before, the huge Cube was deployed, taking less than a second for it to appear.

”This thing is truly big...” Kafan couldnʼt help but comment when he saw the thousands of kilometers it occupied. He then looked back at Roan... who was nowhere to be found. ”Roan, you are still there, right?”

”Yes,” Roan answered, his voice seeming to come out of nowhere. Even Kafan couldnʼt tell from where it came. Now that Roan had control over the Cube, he could even prevent the Spatial Distortion from appearing. Rean even felt a little bit jealous since his Light and Divine Sense Bending Skills canʼt conceal him from Natural Spatial Perceptions... while the Cube can. Kafan walked to the place Roan pointed out, and Roan simply appeared like a haze. Obviously, he was holding the little Cube in his hand. ”So... it can completely conceal you, but it doesnʼt put any kind of barrier around to protect you from attacks, is it?”

Roan had tried it before. ”Yes. It is a little dangerous, but only if others know you are there. Iʼm trying to see if it has any other functions, but it doesnʼt seem like it does. Of course, the power it has is already quite heaven-defying...”

”Do you need to operate it from afar?” Rean asked. ”Canʼt you simply enter the big Cube after deploying it? You would be more protected than anyone else.”

”It seems like it is not possible,” Roan spoke. ”Can you see the Big Cube? Look at what happens when I try to approach it.”

Roan began to run in the direction of the Giant Cube. However, the Cube itself began to run away from him. It seemed to have its own intelligence as it could even avoid obstacles. At some point, Roan put himself in a position where the Giant Cube would be forced against the planet inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. In theory, it wouldnʼt be able to stay far away from him.

Too bad, though. When that happened, Roan couldnʼt move his small Cube anymore. There was some kind of force that prevented the small Cube from approaching the big one.

”Father,” Luan, who was also there, spoke. ”Can you turn off the concealing ability?” Roan nodded. ”Alright, done.”

Luan then took a look at the big and small Cubes and nodded. ”Itʼs the huge Spatial Rune at the center of the Big Cube. I can see it is connected to the small Cube somehow. It is also it that prevents the small Cube from getting close to the Big One... Oh! So thatʼs how it is...”

Luan smiled at everyone. ”Father, the small Cube canʼt approach simply because it is the giant Cubeʼs container. From our point of view, the Giant Cube is much bigger than the controlling Cube in your hand. However, the truth is that the small one is much bigger. Its the weird Spatial Runes, Laws, and Power used to build it that make it look like it is small. Simply put, you canʼt possibly expect to put something much bigger inside something much smaller. The Small Cube, which is actually the bigger one, simply doesnʼt fit inside the Giant Cube. That is also why you canʼt approach it or stay inside the deployed Giant Cube.”

Rean was quite interested in that. ”So the Small Cube is actually bigger, uh... What an interesting approach for Spatial Runes. Iʼll definitely analyze everything calmly later. Perhaps I can use this knowledge somehow.”

Roan wasnʼt surprised. He didnʼt know the reason before, but he knew he couldnʼt approach it. Now, the reason was made clear through Luanʼs eyes. ”Very well. I wonʼt try anymore.”

”Well then,” Kafan smiled as he reverted to his Death Spirit Form, ”Letʼs try its hardness. Thatʼs what Roan asked initially, right?”

Rean and Roan immediately brought everyone to an empty space outside the planet in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Kafan wasnʼt going to hold back, so they couldnʼt test it near the planet. ”Alright, Master. You can do as you please. If you need time to comprehend the laws you use, we can activate the time acceleration formation here in the Dimensional Realm later.”

Rean looked at Sister Orb. ”And you better make sure to not let senior Kafanʼs power cause issues to the rest of the Dimensional Realm.”

[Hmph! In the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, I AM GOD! Go ahead and donʼt hold back. Everything will be fine with me here.]

Kafan didnʼt waste time and immediately gathered his laws, fused energy, elements, and everything he had. He first started without changing the laws since he didnʼt want to destroy the Cube. However, seeing that the barrier didnʼt even budge, he switched to serious mode and used his Semi-Celestial Powers.

Explosions of Fused Energies, Elements, and Laws spread around as a result of the attacks, although they couldnʼt go far, with Sister Orb stopping it all before they got too distant.

Kafan tried it in two different ways. One of them was attacking the Cube from the outside. The other was to enter the chambers and attack them to try to escape from the inside.

In the end, the barrier of the Cube became a little feeble, but it was still far from breaking down. Seeing that, Kafan returned to his humanoid form and sighed in praise after coming out. ”I can proclaim without a doubt. If you trap a Semi-Celestial inside, he will definitely not be able to escape.”
