Chapter 2276 Attachment



After getting on the Blackhole's side, Rean stretched his hand into the black mass. As soon as he did it, he felt a suction force coming through his body.

*Pin!*

[Soul Gem Universal Worlds Attachment Detected.]

"What?!" Rean obviously heard the system's voice. However, he couldn't care about it at the moment. That's because he could feel all his energy disappearing at a fast pace.

Roan quickly reached for Rean and tried to pull him out. Yet, the same thing happened to him. His own energy began to be drained away by the black mass. He didn't even need to touch the black mass. Just being close to Rean was enough for that to happen.

Eagon's eyes lit up as he watched from afar. 'I can finally see what this is all about!'

Kentucky, seeing the event in front of him, thought about helping as well. However, Roan quickly shouted back at him. "Stay away. Just protect us if anyone tries anything."

After a few moments, the system's voice appeared once again.

[Connection established.]

At the same time that the system said those words, Rean and Roan were finally released to come away from the Black Mass. However, they were truly completely empty. They immediately took several Divine Stones out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and used them to recover.

Eagon arrived at their side. "What happened? How did you get a reaction from the thing?"

The twins shook their heads. "We don't know. It suddenly began to rob us of our energy, and that was about it. It didn't let us go until we got completely dry."

Eagon looked at the black hole and could now see that it had become silver and golden in color. "Time and Space Powers..."

At the same time, the twins contact Sister Orb. 'Sister Orb, what is the system doing? It obviously has something to do with it.'

[I agree. I'm checking it right now...]

[Found it! I got access to the measures being employed by the system. It seems like it was truly the system that caused this phenomenon. As for the reason for it... Oh! So that's how it is!]

The twins were puzzled. 'Just say it already!'

[This Universal World Attachment is basically a restoration system. It created a virtual copy of what Sunkan Planet was before. It then acquired all the broken parts of Sunkan and stored them in a parallel dimension. As long as you give the order, Sunkan Planet should reappear.]

'So... Is it something like a backup?' Rean couldn't help but ask.

[Not quite. In a strict sense, backups are not the original archives. They are used to substitute the originals that were corrupted, lost, or things like that. In this case, the system only created a copy that serves as a guide to reconstruct the original things using the original parts. Ultimately, it is better to call it a mending.]

Roan pondered a bit. 'Does it include all the bodies and souls?'

[I believe so,] Sister Orb answered. [Of course, I can't be certain without giving it a try.]

'I don't understand,' Rean intervened. 'Why would the system go this far? No, that's not the right question. The right question would be, How was the system strong enough to make something like that?'

[You were correct. The system wasn't strong enough to pull this out. That's why it used a source of energy that already existed on the planet itself. There is something inside this Blackhole that is providing the system enough energy to keep the broken parts together and that virtual copy.]

Rean didn't find it strange since the system created the Circuitry Formations Repository. There, he could simulate formations without the need for any materials. Basically, he could create virtual copies any time he wanted. The system seemed to have employed a similar method this time. The only thing that intrigued him was that source of energy. 'Could it be another Universe Foundation Fragment?'

Roan shook his head straight away. 'If a Fragment was present, the system would have detected it a long time ago. Even if it didn't, it would have detected now that it connected to this attachment thing.'

[Roan is correct. I can at least guarantee there are no Fragments in this event,] said Sister Orb.

'I guess it would be too much of a coincidence then,' Rean sighed.

Eagon obviously didn't know what they were with their soul connections, so he was still curious. "Well, are you going to try it again? Have you figured out anything from that Blackhole?"

The twins wondered what they should say. Should they restore the planet right now? But what would Eagon try to do? He obviously didn't know about the system, so he hoped to find some worthwhile treasure. The fact the twins had a reaction indicated that there was really something there.

'Let's just give it the order for restoration,' Roan suddenly told Rean.

'Are you sure? That will attract a lot of attention. Shouldn't we wait for when Eagon goes away?' Rean asked back.

Yet, Roan snorted. 'If it was you, would you leave even if we said that there was nothing here?'

Rean bitter smiled. 'No... I would wait here until the day I ran out of time and was forced to the Realm of Gods. Not only that, but I would also warn others about this thing in that case since I wouldn't want to lose it.'

Roan nodded. 'Exactly. So, instead of inviting a lot more eyes to see it happening, it would be way better to simply let Eagon watch it. As long as he thinks he has a chance of acquiring some benefits, he won't call anyone else here.'

Roan then pointed at the Blackhole before saying, "If it drained our energy, it is because it needs energy for something. It confirms our theory that it didn't activate with Jakiro simply because his cultivation was too low. Since the two of us had very high cultivation and were also born in the Mortal Realm, we had the necessary requirements to get this thing started. It only needs more energy now."

Eagon nodded. "I see... It makes sense. Let's give it a try."
