Death… And Me

Chapter 3506: Not You!

’They are going after you!’ Roan’s message suddenly reached Rean. There were seven Space-Time SANS Units outside, fighting the elders of the sect. Yet, there were only five elders. Silveria was fighting two alone, while Roan, Celis, and Kentucky were playing cat and mouse with another one.

When the alarm was heard, one of Saria’s opponents, as well as the one trying to catch Celis, immediately gave up their targets and rushed back to the Zoshia Enterprise. At their level, just a couple of seconds would be enough for them to get there.

Rean didn’t panic as an idea appeared in his mind. He aimed his sword upwards...

’Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!’

Rean easily cut through the ceiling, arriving at the upper floor. There, SANS-G01’s body was on the ground, its processor fried by Qwerty earlier. He didn’t intend to take the robot, though. Instead, he attacked once again!

’Death Style, Stellar Piercer!’

Without the robot actively protecting itself, there were no defenses on his body. Rean’s Sword Energy pierced through it and ultimately hit the Demon Core inside. This was one of the units with Space-Time Realm experts’ dantians/cores, and this SANS-G01 hasn’t fought anyone so far. That said, his core was completely full of energy!

Rean achieved his objective and only then pulled the robot down with him, using his Divine Energy to stabilize the robot’s core, which could explode at any moment.

*Boom!*

It only took Rean three seconds to do all of that, and still, by the time he returned to the room below, the server room’s door was blasted open. The two Space-Time SANS Units, known as SANS-G03 and 04, arrived even faster than the SANS Units that were originally inside the Zoshia Enterprise building.

”Hehe!” Yet, Rean smiled playfully, kicking the body of SANS-G01 at the two Space-Time Units that had just arrived. ”How about you take care of your friend first?”

Those two Units were taken aback, seeing SANS-G01 in that state. However, what almost made their cores freeze was the readings they got from SANS-G01’s body. His core was about to explode, and if it happened there, the server room would be destroyed, together with the Zoshia Enterprise System!

”You are crazy!” SANS-G04 exclaimed, immediately catching SANS-G01 and flying out of the building. He had to bring SANS-G01 away as fast as possible. The explosion of his core would definitely wipe out everything in several kilometers of distance.

However, there was no need for SANS-G03 to do the same. Instead of going out with 04, he turned to Rean, and then to Qwerty at one of the terminals. He wasn’t an idiot. He knew Qwerty was definitely connected to the Zoshia Enterprise System, and he had to be stopped at all costs.

SANS-G03 shot forward, his arm filling with concentrated Divine Energy and Lightning Element. His Space and Time Powers also accumulated, and he punched forward. He completely ignored Rean and Zangeshu. He only cared about Qwerty. However...

*Zush, zush, zush!*

Out of nowhere, three other figures appeared, and they joined Rean with all their strength, striking back at SANS-G03! Sure enough, they were Roan, Celis, and Kentucky, who used the Dimensional Realm to appear by Rean’s side!

*Bang!*

A big shockwave followed, but it didn’t cause much damage to the surroundings. The twins’ group combined effort just barely managed to force SANS-G03 back. Well, truth be told, SANS-G03 should have had enough strength to blast the twins’ group out of the way. However, if he truly used his full power, just the aftermath of the attack alone would have been enough to destroy the gray box at the center of the room. The box was the system, and SANS-G03 obviously couldn’t afford to destroy it. Thus, he held back when he tried to hit Qwerty, and the twins’ group managed to stop him.

SANS-G03 was shocked nonetheless to see that Space-Bending Realm experts like them were able to stop him. Of course, he quickly focused back, attacking again... or so he wanted to.

Too bad the twins’ group was even faster! Staying on the defensive wasn’t Roan’s style, and he commanded his group to strike back. Sky Energy, Bright and Dark Red Lightning, their Bloodlines, Souls, Weapon Intents, Domains, everything! The twins’ group used every single trick in their pocket at that moment, using the fact that SANS-G03 couldn’t fight with his full strength.

’Death Style, Death Scythe!’

’Life-Fire, Flame Emperor Sword!’

’Kawa Divine Thrust!’

’Full Energy Repel!’

Tens of exchanges happened in the following moments, SANS-G03 being barely able to hold. The twins’ group combination was perfect, giving no gaps for SANS-G03 to explore. If anything, he was being suppressed instead! He couldn’t use his full strength, and that put him at a slight disadvantage.

They weren’t the only ones fighting. Zangeshu was fighting the other SANS Units arriving at the scene, and he had Rifindio’s help, who also came through the Dimensional Realm with the twins’ group assistance.

However, there were just too many SANS Units. At that pace, Rifindio and Zangeshu would soon collapse. The only reason there weren’t even more of the SANS Units was because this was an enclosed space, so not many could fit inside this place at once.

Expecting help from outside would be even more unlikely. With Celis gone from the CAU Units’ army, they were now at a much bigger disadvantage than the SANS Units, who were far more numerous outside. The Sect Elders couldn’t do anything either, as they were fighting back the remaining SANS-G Units.

Ten seconds passed since all of this started, and then...

*BOOOOOMMMM!!!*

Far in the distance, just outside the city, an apocalyptic explosion took place. Fortunately, the city’s barrier stopped the destructive force, and several of the city barrier’s layers broke down to achieve that. The twins’ group obviously knew what happened. SANS-G01 core finally exploded, and if SANS-G04 hadn’t been destroyed with it, SANS-G04 would be back in the next few seconds as well!

*Bang!*

*Arrgh!*

Suddenly, Celis was hit by one of the SANS-G04 attacks, having made a mistake during his coordination with the twins and Kentucky. After so many years apart, he was still a little bit rusty.

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky quickly covered for him, but without Celis, the difference in strength was just too big, so they were forced back by the next attack as well.

*Bang, bang, bang!*

All three of them slammed into the side walls, several of their bones breaking while they coughed blood.

SANS-G03 didn’t lose that chance! By now, even though Celis’ Domain was the most annoying thing in this place, SANS-G03 knew who really was the most dangerous existence there. It was, without a doubt, Roan! At the moment Roan hit the wall, SANS-G03 was already right in front of him. His Space and Time Power, as well as his Divine Energy, were fully charged, Lightning Element dancing at his will. He even locked the space around Roan this time, making it impossible for Roan to flee into the Dimensional Realm like the last time.

”DIE!”

*BOOM!*

SANS-G03’s attack landed!

However... the attack didn’t land on Roan. Instead, it landed on Qwerty!

Qwerty, who was already quite damaged, broke like glass, but not before a few words came from him. ”Activate!”
