Chapter 2113 Ruins Of The Stars



"No, don't answer that now. There is something more important. Can you tell me why do you know it was us there?" Roan first needed to know how they were found out. They haven't used their real identities ever since they left the Demon Beasts' Territory back in the Realm of Gods. Their entire staying in the Underworld was under fake identities and appearances with Rean's Devil Transformation. Even Elder Devils couldn't see through them.

Aelrie smiled before she flickered her hand. Right after, an extremely tiny spec of Light Element came out of Rean's body, flying straight into her body. "Does this answer your question?"

Rean and Roan narrowed. At the same time, they got angry. 'Sister Orb! Wasn't your supposed to tell if anything you didn't know entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm or our bodies? How come you didn't find this one?'

[Hey, don't blame me! Didn't you see that? Whatever that thing was, it was pretty much an agglomeration of Light Element concentred in a very tiny spec. Rean's body is basically light itself. How could I see the difference between that small thing and Rean's Lighthouse of a body?] Sister Orb felt wronged. [If that helps, now I know exactly how it looks and feels like. If something similar enters your body from now on, I'll be able to tell straight away.]

Rean and Roan felt even worse. 'What's the point in doing that now? We are already in their hands...'

[Deal with it.] Sister Orb didn't care anymore.

'Well, can you at least tell if there is something similar in our bodies?' Rean asked back.

[Not that I can find. Definitely nothing similar to what Aelrie just took out.] Sister Orb finished.

Rean shook his head and paid attention to Aelrie once again. "Alright, what was that thing? Even I couldn't detect it until now."

Aelrie nodded. "That's because not everyone can use it. This is a special method from my race bloodline. And you have to have a very high concentration of this bloodline to be able to do that too." Just like the Realm of Gods and Underworld, the Heavens also had many different races of angels.

"Well, that's as far as I can tell you. Other than that, my father will probably close my mouth," she concluded.

Spiegel nodded. "It's good that you know it."

Roan nodded. "Alright, it was our mistake to not find that thing. So, it is pretty obvious that the previous attack on Rea was nothing but a test. Tell us, why did you bring us here? It's not like our contact with Aelrie back in the Lost Star Realm was something significant to start with. I don't know why you would need the help from some humans. Considering Spiegel's level, I find it difficult to do anything that he can't."

Rean also added. "Not to mention that it's not like we will help you just because you asked. We aren't exactly that close, you know?"

"Pretty brave for someone who can die in the next second if I wish so," Spiegel said with a cold smile.

Rean and Roan didn't seem that scared, though. "If that's the case, give it a try."

"Alright, alright. The babies can stop the bickering already." Aelrie saw herself forced to stop those three in the end. "Father, it is obvious that I was right about those two. It's just that we have never expected to see them here in Heavens. Are you truly going to start a fight now?"

Spiegel narrowed his eyes for a moment but gave up in the end. "Fine... I'm just a little angry that I spent so long looking for them in the Realm of Gods just to find them here. Wasn't all that for nothing?"

Rean and Roan were even more puzzled. "Could it be you looked for us in the last two decades or so?"

Spiegel nodded. "Indeed. Well, it was in the last ten years, to be more precise. Of course, now I know you came from the Underworld. No wonder Aelrie couldn't find you in the Realm of Gods."

What could possibly be so important that they needed their help? It felt more and more suspicious.

Finally, Aelrie entered the main topic. "Back when I first encountered you, Rean immediately caught my attention. As you can see, I'm an Angel, so I'm obviously aware that the humanoid races in the Realm of Gods should not have Light Element Affinity. But lo and behold, here he is. Not only that, but I could also feel the Dark Element in Roan's body, which I admit still makes me feel quite uncomfortable. For some reason, it is even more uncomfortable than when I meet the Devil Races."

Roan understood why. It was basically because his Dark Element was the purest there is. It naturally affects the Angel Races way more than the Devils.

"Of course, back then, it didn't matter much," Aelrie continued. "So what if a human had Light or Dark Element Affinity? Odd things happen all the time in the cultivation world. However, around thirteen years ago, something happened."

Rean and Roan could guess what it was. "The Angels decided to invade the Underworld, right? Although it only happened in the last two or three years."

"That's correct," Spiegel nodded. "Because of that, we got access to the Ruins of the Stars, which is always closed, even for Archangels."

"Ruins of the Stars?" Rean and Roan had never heard about it.

"What you need to know is that these ruins are the closest remnants to the ancient race precedent to the great calamity," Spiegel explained. "However, no one expected it to suddenly open. We have tried countless times, but none of the experts of all three higher realms were able to get inside until now."

Rean and Roan pondered a bit before they suggested. "Hum... The Invasion of the Underworld also got the Realm of Gods involved. Could it be that this sudden, unprecedented connection between the three higher realms was requisite for the Ruins to open?"

Spiegel looked at the twins with a surprised expression. "Smart! That's what we believe as well. However, it is not like we can enter it straight away. To do that, we will need your help."
