Death... and me -
Chapter 3849: Don’t Mind Me
Kuruhei couldn’t care less about Rean anymore. "Why are you wasting even more of my time with that ant. Get him out of here, kill him, torture him, I don’t care. Find someone else and a good Umbra and bring them here. I still want to see someone being taken over."
"Ahem..." Dlotter tried to intervene. "Friend Kuruhei, if we keep trying these things, this will likely affect the morale of the army."
Only then did Kuruhei notice that pretty much everyone on the bridge was watching. This is the central area of command, with thousands of experts working, so there were plenty of ways of spreading the news from here. Normally, Kuruhei wouldn’t care. It’s just that the Werdlem Empire put a lot of importance on this Universe, so he couldn’t take the chances of something going wrong. "Fine, we will discuss more about it later."
Rean sighed in relief. He truly didn’t want to rely on escaping this place through the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. There was even a Werdlem Universe’s expert right in front of him, and escaping under his nose in such a situation would definitely generate a lot of commotion.
The guards helped Rean get up, then guided him out of the bridge. Yet, just as the door of the bridge was about to close...
*Zash!*
*Kabrummm!*
A powerful blast of Water and Lightning Elements, filled with their laws, struck Rean’s body!
*Boom!*
An explosion of Water and Lightning followed, vaporizing everything around the epicenter. Even the guards close to Rean, including Zotaku, were affected, two of them dying on the spot!
"Hmph!" Behind, Kuruhei snorted. "Now I feel a lot better."
Several experts rushed to the scene, but Dlotter quickly controlled the situation, telling them to simply fix the damage. He looked around, seeing the two dead bodies from the security team and a heavily injured Zotaku. ’Just what was the Werdlem Empire thinking to send such an arrogant idiot to take over our D45 forces?’
As for Rean’s body, since he was the target, there was only a short red mist before it was pulverized by Kuruhei’s attack. If even the security guards, who were in the Divinity Realm, died for being too close, what can one say of a Space-Time Realm Expert who was the main target?
Dlotter sighed, but he wouldn’t be able to accuse Kuruhei of anything and hoped for this war to not last too long.

Far, far in the distance, on another location where the twins had passed before, something that looked like a white and black banner materialized out of nowhere. Following that, a powerful Spatial and Temporal distortion occurred, and charcoal that resembled a human figure shot out of it.
Who was it if not Rean? A burst of Light Element followed, and the black crust began to fall while the broken body healed.
"Fuck!" That was the first thing Rean said when his mouth became able to talk again. "That guy literally made a split-second decision to kill me! There wasn’t even the red color of killing intent until the very last moment!"
When Rean saw the killing intent, he immediately tried to resist. Unfortunately, it was way too late. He was hit by the attack. The worst part is that even if he had noticed it, he couldn’t dodge, as it would have looked ridiculous that a Space-Time Realm expert could do something against a Semi-Celestial.
Well, the fact that he was alive at the moment was pretty ridiculous in itself. Anyone else would have been wiped out instantly.
In any case, he was hit, and the powerful explosion of elements and laws blinded everyone’s Divine Senses for a split second. Well, not all of their Divine Senses’ ranges. Just that tiny point at the center of the explosion where the attack landed.
Fortunately, that was all Rean needed. He immediately used that opportunity to enter the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. Before anyone could notice the entrance to his Dimensional Realm, he used the Relay Point Roan had left behind to come out. (Chapter 3842)
That made the entrance back at the bridge to disappear as always.
*Zush!*
Roan also appeared outside. "I didn’t expect the relay to be used so soon, but it was good I left it here."
Everyone was inside the Dimensional Realm, so Rean couldn’t use Roan, Kentucky, or Celis to exit the Dimensional Realm somewhere else. It was truly thanks to Roan’s decision to leave a relay behind that Rean escaped alive...
Well, Rean would only have his body and soul destroyed. The little bit of blood he left inside the Dimensional Realm would activate the system’s ability, and the Body Reformation would start again. It’s just that it would take a long time for his body to recover.
Nonetheless, Rean was fuming. "Kuruhei, Kuruhei, Kuruhei! I will definitely not forget that fucker’s name! You will see! One day, I will extract his soul myself! What an absolutely arrogant piece of shit!"
Then, Kentucky also appeared, asking Roan. "Still, why did you leave the relay behind here? We can only put down three relays, right? I expected you would wait for us to go to higher-ranked Universes first."
"I decided to do that as soon as we agreed to try to approach a Werdlem Universe’s expert," Roan explained. "Who knows if they had some way of detecting our facade? The relay was the only thing I was confident could bring us far enough to avoid any further detection or tracking."
"So that’s why you didn’t have any of us stay outside the ship," Celis understood. Normally, as long as someone of the twins’ group was within a Light Year of distance, Rean could enter the Dimensional Realm and leave at their side. Yet, that battlefield took over three entire Divine Realm continents. A single Light Year wasn’t anywhere near enough to leave that area.
"When it comes to the Werdlem Universe itself, I absolutely won’t take any chances," Roan concluded.
Rean finished healing his body, taking out a new set of clothes and sighing. "Alright, let’s go back in. I doubt anyone noticed I actually escaped, but we’d better not waste time."
Back inside the Dimensional Realm, there was a very, very feeble Umbra, who seemed to be about to disappear. That was Xian, whom Rean sent into the Dimensional Realm and made it look like the Umbra had actually died. It’s just that the process used even more of Xian’s remaining energies, thus this state of the little guy. "Seems like capturing those Umbras served some purpose in the end."
At the moment, Xian was absorbing a mindless Umbra, just one of a few tens that Rean captured while he fought and pretended to be Curuto. Rean intended to learn more about emotional energy through them when he found some time. He didn’t expect the Umbras he got would end up becoming food for Xian, who he also didn’t expect to ever meet again.
Then, Rean approached and touched Xian’s body. "Don’t mind me. I’ll help you absorb them again. We can talk once you finish."
