Death… And Me

Chapter 3268: Get Ready

Neither Rean nor Roan spoke about it anymore. Instead, Roan returned to his corner, not willing to join the group conversation outside. ”Let me know when we arrive at the Divine Realm base in this cluster.”

Rean nodded and left the Dimensional Realm. He didnʼt go talk to the others, though. He still had a lot of work to do to make this ship ready to enter the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm.

As soon as he appeared, Zangeshuʼs call arrived. -Master, where were you? I canʼt test the runes here without you connecting your side.-

”Oh, sorry, sorry.” Rean quickly went back to work. ”So, which one did you finish? I will connect the respective runes.”

Rean and Zangeshu worked together for another day, only finishing preparing all the runes and the formation when they were close to their destination. They went to the bridge after that, where only Rifindio Foliana and Renata were staying. Diliy also left after a while.

”And then, and then?!” Renata, who initially didnʼt seem to want to talk to anyone, was a completely different Camazotz Bat now.

Foliana laughed and continued. ”Turns out it was his cousin!”

”What?!” Utter shock appeared on Renataʼs face, not believing what she just heard. ”How could it be him? He wasnʼt even considered in the picture during all this mess!”

”Right?!” Foliana nodded as she patted Renataʼs head. ”But it is exactly because he was able to keep himself in the shadows during the fight for the throne that he ascended in the end. When he finally appeared, his two other brothers and his sister had spent most of their energies fighting each other. He swept the field with his army, which was initially much smaller than any of the others. In the end, he became the Folrun Countryʼs new King.”

”To think Grefis, the weakest in the line, ascended in the end. He was smart,” Renata spoke truthfully.

Only when she said that, did she finally notice that Rean and Zangeshu entered the room. ”Oh, it is you two.”

Rean smiled in response. ”Seems like you are doing quite well with our friends. This is good since you will spend some time with us.”

”Ah!” Renata finally noticed that she wasnʼt acting all high and mighty as she had been doing. ”Donʼt think that I will let my guard down just because of it.”

Rean shrugged. ”I donʼt know what guard you are talking about. Donʼt forget, Iʼm much stronger and can take you down right here and right now. Your guard would be of no use.”

Renata grew angry once more, but she couldnʼt refute Reanʼs words. Their first battle made abundantly clear just how big the difference between them was. ”Hmph! Just wait and see how I will catch up to you. Iʼm a Camazotz Bat that can use the Divine Camzotz Form. Itʼs just the difference in cultivation between us, thatʼs all.”

Rean didnʼt say anything, looking at Foliana instead. ”What were you talking about?”

Foliana was more than happy to answer as it involved history. ”I was talking about how Grefis, the weakest prince of Folrun Country, managed to outsmart the other successors and ascend to the throne. Renata has been listening to the many historical moments Iʼve learned about over the years.”

”She truly knows how to tell a story,” Renata commended. ”Once I return to the Supreme Palace, I will have you as my personal guard. How about that. Would you like it?”

”Hahaha!” Foliana tried to hold back but ended up laughing in the end. ”If I do that, I wonʼt be able to travel around the universe and learn more about history, now will I? Thank you anyway. Thatʼs my dream, to keep on learning history. Thatʼs the only reason I continue to cultivate. Just so I can live longer and learn more.”

Renataʼs eyes were shining, wondering if she could have a life like that. Yet, she is a very important Camazotz Bat, so she will have to return eventually. ”Then I wish you good luck. If possible, come and visit me after I return to the Supreme Palace.”

Zangeshu, who was also there, wasnʼt paying attention to their conversation, though. Instead, he was checking the navigation system with Rifindio. ”The runes are active. Do you see any interference in the engines?”

”Seems like everything is okay,” Rifindio said as he checked the many pieces of information.

Rean also joined them but paid attention to their position in space. ”Quite impressive how it can tell exactly where we are even though we are in the inter-space. Anyway, seems like we are about to arrive.”

On the main screen at the front of the bridge, a dot representing the spaceship was pretty much reaching its destination. Even though Rifindio had the space move slower, it still arrived at another galaxy after just some days.

”I set the coordinates so we would appear outside the Solar System where the Divine Realm base in this cluster is located,” Rifindio commented. ”Still, I donʼt know much about that place since I only passed by and didnʼt care about it. Be ready for anything since I canʼt guarantee they donʼt have any protection even that far away.”

Rean smiled, not concerned in the least. ”Just let me know when we are about to step out of the tunnel, and my runes will do the rest.” They were still a few minutes away, though.

At that moment, the door to the bridge opened, and Kentucky came inside while holding a black mineral in his hand. That was his lunch. ”Even Roan is here? We must be about to arrive it seems.”

Roan glanced at him. ”That brat over there has been here for a few days already. Did you manage to learn anything about that Divine Camazotz Form?”

Kentucky shrugged in response. ”Well, not really. She was always busy with Foliana, and I didnʼt want to kill their nice moment.”

Of course, that was a lie. Kentucky was just lazying around as a true Minokawa would, let alone the Regal Minokawa himself.

”Seems like I will have to resume your training again,” Roan spoke, his expression showing he was looking forward to it.

”Ahem!” Kentucky obviously felt like he was going to die... or get close to it. ”Now is as good a moment to learn as ever. Hey, Renata, tell me more about your Divine Camazotz Form. I will listen very carefully!”

”You sure are helpless...” Rean sighed in the end. ”Leave it be, Roan. We are about to come

out.”

”Hmph!” Roan nodded slightly. ”Count yourself lucky.”

Finally, Rifindio took the reins. ”Alright, we are coming out now. Get ready.”
