Death… And Me

Chapter 2841: A New Name

Seeing that everyone understood, Soul Gem changed the topic. ”Alright, there is no point in worrying about it now. Since we already showed the Relics during the war, we can only deal with whatever comes our way. Instead, I need you guys to focus on acquiring the last Fragment.”

Rean and Roan quickly agreed. ”We will need your help with that as well, Soul Gem. Same plan as we did with the Devils. You will tell them that you need the Fragment to repair the Foundation Pillar and trade the Foreign Fragment we got from Hyeoumu with them.”

”Do we need to call Gragatou and Huban?” Soul Gem inquired.

”No,” Kafan shook his head. ”The Angels are too proud of their righteousness. They will not try to attack us to get our Fragment for themselves. Trading with them should be a lot easier than it was with the Devils, and I highly doubt they will ask for extra compensation.”

”Very well,” Soul Gem saw no problem with the plan. ”Iʼm staying near the Temporal Path entrance. When you return from the Underworld, just let me know, and we can go together to the Heavens. Anyway, I still have other things to do, so Iʼm disconnecting here. Oh, right! Let me know what was the result of this Yin Yang Body Fusion of yours later. Iʼm very curious.” And with that, Soul Gem left the call.

Rean and the others put their communication badges away. ”Roan, letʼs just get over with it. Senior Kafan, please.”

Roan narrowed his eyes but nodded in the end. The two quickly fused again, and their cultivation reached the Divinity Realm Initial Stage.

Kafan also used his Death Spirit Form, ready for battle. They were in the middle of the void in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so it was the perfect place to try it out. ”Come!”

[Just one question.] Yet, Sister Orb once again stopped them. It felt like there was always something getting in the way. [Donʼt look at me like that. I just find it irritating that I donʼt know how to call you when you are together. Should I call you Rean, Roan, Rean and Roan? It is a little confusing...]

Rean spoke through the fused form. ”Well, we do have parallel thoughts, so Rean and Roan should be fine, no?”

Roan didnʼt like it, though. ”Depending on the situation, it might be bothersome. Just think about some name to refer to both of us when we are in this merged form,” he spoke this time. As for the name, he couldnʼt care less.

”Then I will de-” Rean began to speak...

But Roan cut him straight away. ”Anyone can decide the name except the idiot. He will end up giving some bullshit long name that takes forever to speak.”

Sister Orb and the others all agreed. ”Thatʼs true. No name decision rights for Rean.”

Poor Rean wanted to cry, but he couldnʼt do anything.

*Zush!*

Suddenly, Kentucky appeared near them. ”That sounds fun! Iʼm also joining!”

”Where did this guy come from?” Kafan looked at Kentucky.

[I called him. There are more people interested in coming up with a name, too.]

*Zush, zush, zush...*

And there was indeed. Reanʼs parents, their friends, the formation masters, hundreds of cultivators and demon beasts...

”Oh! Is that really them?” Hamarlia couldnʼt help but ask.

Turenʼs Avatar took a close look. ”They... He does seem a little bit taller. If you hadnʼt told me they are merged with each other, I wouldnʼt believe it. They look just the same as when they are separated.”

Tatiana messed with Rean and Roanʼs hair, much to their distress. ”Can you truly divine and join together anytime you want? So weird...”

”Rean, does that mean you can make higher-level runes?” Droman, Reanʼs Formations Master, asked. He seemed more interested in what he could do in that form.

Similar talks came from left and right, making it look more like everyone came to the zoo to see the new animal on display. Roanʼs side body began to grow very, very impatient, too. ʼWhy the hell did the idiot Orb have to call everyone?ʼ

”Still...” Luan narrowed his eyes. ”A name for Father and Uncle Rean together. Should we just merge their names, too? I donʼt know... Reoan? Roean?”

Ugly faces appeared everywhere.

”THATʼS ABSURD!” Hamarlia immediately refused.

”There has to be something better, right?” Lisia, Malakʼs great-granddaughter, wondered.

”Gigi!” Tamires, Reanʼs Sister from Romarioʼs side, asked.

”Why Gigi?” Romario asked. He felt like he had heard that same before.

Rean and Roanʼs mouth twitched. That was Tamiresʼs furball name. That weird rainbow pet that they took out of the cryostasis.

”We brothers and sisters have similar names, right?” Rana asked. ”Perhaps some continuation of it?”

”Rean, Roan, Rana... Ru, Ri, Ri... Rion?” Someone asked, catching everyoneʼs attention.

Seeing so many eyes on him, the guy quickly curled and hid his face. It was none other than Leeyan, the Leviathan Roan took as a disciple. ”S-Sorry... I shouldnʼt even be here.”

[Nonsense! You are Roanʼs beloved new disciple. You definitely have the right to be here and give ideas.] Sister Orb quickly corrected him.

”Be-Beloved...?” Leeyan could only see pity in everyoneʼs eyes when they heard he was Roanʼs new disciple. Seems like they all thought he would die soon, too.

Nonetheless, his idea wasnʼt too bad. ”Rion, Rion, Rion...” Hamarlia spoke the name a few times and felt it had a nice ring. ”It isnʼt bad. It isnʼt bad at all!”

Tatiana closed her eyes. She was also Reanʼs mother. ”I quite like it. Rion... It is like we got a new son.”

Discussions went around, everyone talking about Leeyanʼs idea. In the end, they all agreed that Rion seemed simple and good, very convenient. ”Rion it is.”

The twins sighed and nodded. ”Alright, can we just stick with Rion, then? In any case, we will only use it during times we have fused like this, which will be as little as humanly possible.”

[Then it is decided. Rion is Rean and Roanʼs names in their fused form!]

”Agreed!” Everyone spoke in unison, putting that matter to the end.

”Alright, Iʼm getting bored,” Kafan quickly took the opportunity. ”Rion, letʼs test your strength.”
