Chapter 2818: Little Fly
When the replica of the foundation, the integration pillar, was created, it absorbed all Fragments inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm at once. The same thing happened when they got the Fragments from the Leviathans. However, the Fragment inside the Underworld Relic had a part of the system inside, so it wasn't absorbed by the integration pillar straight away. Inside, the system focused on removing it from the Fragment first.
Rean and Roan's group weren't surprised by this. After all, they have known for a long time that the Fragment of the Underworld Relic had that part of the system inside. They just never had the chance to acquire it. The only doubt was what would happen once they did. (Chapter 1999)
Outside, Kafan concluded the deal with the Semi-Celestials of the Devil Races. "Alright, this concludes our little negotiation."
Soul Gem didn't didn't waste time, either. "Kafan, Gragatou, Huban, let's go. I need to integrate these Fragments into my project. The faster we over with it, the better it will be." "I'll be staying in the Underworld for a while." Yet, Kafan suddenly spoke.
Gragatou and Huban were taken aback. "You will? Why?"
"This was my home in the past, so there is nothing wrong with it, right?" Kafan spoke. "In any case, Soul Gem has the Fragments now. Just scout him back to the Realm of Gods. I have my own agenda here."
Gragatou and Huban looked at each other. In the end, they just accepted it. "Alright. If you say so."
Soul Gem didn't seem to mind it. "Just leave him. Let's go back."
Huban, Gragatou, and Soul Gem left straight away. Kilindou went with them so that the formation in the Temporal Path could be opened, too.
In the end, only Kafan, Black Locust, Turen, Sansara, and Roan remained.
"Kafan," Black Locust narrowed his eyes. "What do you want?"
"0.01...%?" Rean sighed in realization. "This thing will take forever!"
Roan immediately lost his interest. "Forget it. Since we can only wait, let's wait. Sister Orb, are you truly not there?"
The Control Orb seemed to tremble a little after Roan called out. However, no voice came out of it. "Seems like she is truly trapped in there for the time being," Roan concluded.
Kafan was puzzled, though. He couldn't hear the System Messages. "What are you talking about?"
Roan gave Kafan a quick explanation. "And that's about it."
"I see..." Kafan nodded. "Let's wait until another ten minutes have passed. If it goes up by another 0.01%, then we will know more or less how long it will take."
The twins nodded and waited the next minutes there, doing nothing. Sure enough, after another ten minutes precisely, the system's voice echoed in the twins' minds again.
[Progress: 0.02%]
"There is no doubt," Roan nodded. "If the system continues with this trend, it will go up 0.01% every ten minutes."
"That means the system will continue like this for the next 69 days..." Rean felt helpless. He was extremely curious, but nothing would happen before that.
Roan just waved his hand and used his control over the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to create a barrier around Sister Orb and the Fragments. "Just leave them be. We already concluded our first objective, which was to acquire the two Fragments in the Semi-Celestial Devils' hands. Time to work on our second objective."
Kafan agreed with Roan. "That's why I'm here. Let's pay a visit to that little fly."
