Death… And Me

Chapter 3514: Nothing Else To Ask

CAU03 connected to another Unit, and that Unit arrived a moment later. CAU03 had the information himself since it was available in the CAU Units’ database, but he thought it was better to let the CAU-E Unit explain since he saw it firsthand. ”CAU71ER550D, you were the one who got further into that territory. What do you think?”

The CAU robot nodded, and he started by giving the units there a warning. ”I will only say it once, don’t go there. I only managed to escape that place intact by pure luck. I’ve seen two Night Beasts fighting each other, and that was the most terrifying battle I had ever seen.”

That took Abi’s group by surprise. That CAU-E saw the battle between the elders of the sect and the SANS-G Units. Yet, their fight was not as impressive as the Night Beasts? Could it be...

CAU71ER550D continued, knowing what they were thinking. ”Yes, you got the idea. The power they showed was far beyond what I saw from the Space-Time Realm experts of the Divine Snow Mountain Sect. I believe that’s what you call the power of a Divinity Realm being. However...”

CAU71ER550D stopped for a moment before continuing. ”Even though they were that strong, I didn’t feel the presence of intelligence. They were still just beasts, seemingly acting on instinct more than anything else.”

That was even more surprising since Demon Beasts gain sentience after reaching the Transition Realm. Perhaps that was one more change caused by the anomaly.

In the end, the Sect Elders, the SANS, and the CAU Units would have to think twice before entering that place. As for the twins’ group, they plan to be very, very far from this place if that time ever comes.

”Alright, that answered our questions,” Roan said. ”Let’s take a few days to put everything in order, and then we will take our leave.”

”By the way,” Rean remembered something. ”Is there any information in the logs that says where the creators have gone after they left?”

The robots looked at each other and started to search again. A few minutes later, one of the SANS Unit found something. ”Errr... It says here they received an offer from a place called Supreme Palace, and that they were given a location to live under that place’s rule.”

Rifindio’s mind immediately went back to his time at the Supreme Palace, and a certain group appeared in his memories. ’So this is where they came from...’

Kentucky, Zangeshu, Rean, and Roan glanced at him for a moment. Obviously, they noticed the change in his expression. ’Do you know them?’

Rifindio slightly nodded. ’Yes. There is indeed a division of subordinates responsible for the technological side of the supreme palace. They had been there with us for millions of years, or so I’m told. I’ve never really looked into who they were or where they came from. After all, why would I? Of course, there is no guarantee the guys I’m thinking about are the same as the ones these robots call creators.’

’That begs the question,’ Rean commented. ’If they are the same, why haven’t they come back to check on the developments of the anomaly they created themselves?’

Rifindio shook his head in response. ’You asked the wrong person. As if someone in such a low position like me would have access to the details of that section. Perhaps they didn’t forget, and they come here to check from time to time, but no one knows it. Or perhaps they gave it up completely and are waiting to see what happens. In any case, your guesses are as good as mine.’

They decided to give up asking anymore. Rifindio truly had way too little authority in the palace during his time there...

Abi, as the sect master, knew about the Supreme Palace as well. So she took the chance to explain to the robots what was the Supreme Palace and what role it played in their Universe. ”So you see, they truly got involved with some very powerful force, especially the Werdlem Empire behind the Palace.”

”Are you planning to go after the creators now?” Silveria asked on the side. ”I have to ask you to give up that plan if that’s the case. Going out and showing what you became might actually bring unnecessary attention to this place. You have just finished a conflict that lasted millions of years. On top of that, that could also spell problems for our Divine Snow Mountain Sect since we escaped the Divine Snow World. We were not allowed to do that.”

CAU03, 431, and the SANS-G Units were now what you could more or less call the leaders of the robots, so they were the ones who had to decide it. Still, they understood the sect’s concerns, and they had to admit that going out could bring them more trouble than answers.

Then, CAU03 spoke after they discussed it a little between themselves. ”For now, we have no plans of going out. First of all, it usually never ends well when our CAU-E Units try to leave the Evernight World. Our prejudice towards living beings was due to these reasons. If we change our minds, we will let you know.”

Abi was satisfied with that. ”Thank you.”

Roan turned around and began to make his way out of the underground facility. ”I have heard everything I wanted, so I’m taking my leave. If you need anything from us, ask the idiot there, so don’t bother me.”

Rean also made his way to the exit. ”As for me, I’m going out to bury the women.”

”Rick, what about their babies? All of them were pregnant, weren’t they?” Abi remembered that detail.

However, Rean shook his head. ”There is no hope for them. Ronk modified their souls for the integration. Even if we keep the women’s bodies alive and let them give birth, the babies won’t survive more than a few minutes. There is no point in extending their suffering.” He wasn’t kidding. He checked all the babies’ souls when he took the women down, and he was certain of his diagnosis.

”I see...” Abi nodded and looked at Silveria. ”Can you go with him? I want to make sure everything was done correctly.”

Silveria didn’t mind. ”Sure. Rick, let’s go.”

And thus, the twins’ group left the underground facility. As for who would take the EVO Unit, that wasn’t their problem. Abi stayed behind with a few of the elders to talk more about the future with the robots. Soon, things started to get into place, and the city resumed its work.
