Death… And Me

Chapter 3590: Was That A Joke?

Rean’s Light Element was quickly absorbed by the platform, just like the Divine Energy. That same Light Element was moved to the Giant Sphere, which spread that element in the surroundings.

”It seems like whatever element we put inside the platform will be shared with everyone,” Rean commented. In fact, he felt something extra when he tried, but he decided to stay quiet about it.

Rerxes nodded. ”Perhaps we will be able to use it later. For example, someone with Water Element can try to alleviate everyone’s burden at some point or something like that.”

”Now,” he continued, ”we need someone to try laws.”

Rean shrugged. ”I’m just an Elemental Space Realm expert. I can’t use laws, sorry.”

Everyone knew that, so they didn’t ask Rean to try it. Well, Rean actually could, but why would he show it to them?

Instead, Rerxes and the others looked at Elsie, as she was in the Space-Time Realm, and was a member of the weaker group. However, before anyone could ask, Royer cut them off. ”We already did it once; the next test is up to the rest of you.” He wouldn’t just let Elsie take the risk unnecessarily.

In normal circumstances, the others would simply force Elsie to do it. But in this situation, creating more trouble wouldn’t help since the twins’ group did take the first step.

”I’ll try it,” Fetesgau, a member of Universe F950, decided to do it. He was in the Divinity Realm Initial Stage, so there would be no problem using his laws on the platform.

Everyone looked at Fetesgau and saw how the laws of wind gathered around him before they entered the platform. Too bad nothing happened after that. No reactions came from the sphere or the platform. ”I guess laws are meaningless for this thing.”

”Does anyone have any other idea to try?” Rerxes asked everyone. Yet, they were silent, so he sighed in the end. ”Alright, now we know that elements can be transferred into the sphere, and the sphere spreads it. Other than that, we know that injecting more Divine Energy will increase the protecion of the shields and also increase the speed of the sphere. Keep these pieces of information in mind in case we need them ahead.”

The groups talked to each other for a while, and when they had nothing else to say, they went silent. If they wanted to say something to their own groups, they simply used Divine Sense. Just like that, the sphere continued to move ahead, following the light line.

Two days later, the ocean of molten metal continued as far as they could see, and nothing had happened since the giant wave. Some concerns about the twins’ group arose since they had to keep feeding their platforms nonstop while they had the lowest cultivations, but no one pointed it out.

Things didn’t continue this calm for long.

*wruuuuu...*

Almost imperceptible, the molten metal not too far from the sphere began to whirl. It was a tiny change in the endless expanse around. However, that whirl increased fast, and the experts finally noticed it.

*Shua!*

*Roar!*

Out of the whirl, a giant snake-like monster appeared, catching everyone with their guards down. Their Natural Spatial Perception couldn’t detect anything even though the monster was just there. As for Divine Sense, it could check things above the molten ocean but not inside, so the monster only appeared inside their Divine Senses after it jumped out.

Its giant mouth immediately came in their team’s direction, and it was big enough to swallow the sphere whole, let alone the experts around it.

”Quick! Pour more energy!” Meconth bellowed.

Divine Energy was driven like torrents into the platforms, and the sphere quickly increased its speed again. This time, it moved seven times faster than its normal speed, showing that no one was taking that monster lightly. They were all truly using as much Divine Energy as possible.

Unfortunately for them, the molten metal snake monster was even faster, caching up to them in no time. Its mouth came down, attempting to swallow the whole sphere and everyone.

*Ziu!*

Yet, just as it was about to succeed, the giant sphere shone with Light Element, and a ray of white light shot from it.

*Ziu!*

*Bang!*

The ray carried immense power, hitting the inside the mouth of the snake and forcing it back.

*Roar!*

Fiery yellow blood began to come out of the monster’s mouth, but it only made it angrier as it shot after the sphere once again.

”What was that? How did the sphere suddenly attack the monster?” Shonror asked, trying to figure it out so they could make it happen again.

”It was me!” Rean shouted for everyone to hear. ”It was a gamble, but it worked. When I sent my Light Element into the platform earlier, the sphere spread it out. However, I thought it didn’t seem very useful, so I decided to try and control it. Sure enough, you can use the platform itself to control the element you send into the sphere.”

”That wasn’t all,” Meconth also noticed something else. ”A part of the Divine Energy that the sphere was saving was used in that attack just a moment ago.”

Sesahi’s eyes lit up. ”So that’s why the sphere always saved part of the energy we sent into the platforms! It is used to fend off the monsters on the way. Alright, you guys stay out of it. I’m going to do it!”

”You?” Shonror snorted. ”Just stay quiet and let me do this. I’m not in the mood to die because you screwed up.”

Once again, those experts began to bicker about who should do what. It’s just that they didn’t have much time to discuss that.

*Bang!*

Another Ray of White Light shot from the sphere, hitting the incoming monster. More of the monster’s yellow blood rained down, causing quite some big damage. ”Just keep arguing with each other. I’ll take care of the snake monster while you guys decide who is more important or whatever.”

Sesahi and Shonror’s mouths twitched, and they quickly sent their own Elements into the Platforms. Too bad, though. The sphere only accepted the elements from a single platform, which gave control to Rean at the moment. ”Let it go!”

Rean smiled, completely stopping sending his Light Element inside. They wanted to control it? Sure, why not? He definitely wouldn’t fight for it.

In that short moment, Sesahi, Shonror, and Meconth tried to take control of the Sphere. The one to ultimately succeed first was Shonror. ”Hahaha! Now watch your grandfather make quick work of this worm!” Since Rean could cause such damage to the monster, then what about himself, a Peak Divinity Realm Spirit? He might actually kill it with a single shot!

The sphere charged once again, and another Ray of Light shot in the snake’s direction. This one wasn’t white. Instead, it was yellow. Obviously, that was due to Shonror’s Element, which was Earth.

There was a problem, though.

*Ts...*

It was extremely small, and it barely reached the monster, let alone causing any damage to it. If anything, it probably felt more like a mosquito bite to the snake monster. It didn’t even slow it down.

Seeing that, everyone’s eyes turned back in Shonror’s direction, their expressions dark. ”What kind of joke was that?”
