Chapter 2856: Easy Task
Kafan then passed the Foreign Fragment to Dalquiel, who was holding the Heaven's
Gyroscope during this time. "First, give it a try, Dalquiel. This Fragment, even though it is not from our Universe Foundation Pillar, should also work as a powerful enough energy source for your Gyroscope."
Dalquiel looked at Naya'il and Sophia, who nodded back at him. With their agreement,
Dalquiel touched the Heaven's Gyroscope and had the Universe Foundation Fragment from the inside removed.
*Pin!*
[Universe Foundation Fragment Detected.]
[New Quest: Acquire the Fragments from the Angels.]
[Reward: 100000 Destiny Points.]
Sure enough, the moment the Fragment appeared, the Soul Gem System warned of its existence. No doubt that was the last Fragment necessary to repair the Universe Foundation Pillar.
Ran was taken aback, though. 'Only a hundred thousand?' He asked Sister Orb through their Soul Connection.
[Can't you see? This is good news,] Sister Orb explained.
Naturally, Rean got puzzled. How could such a low reward be good news? 'What do you mean?'
'Idiot,' Roan didn't lose the chance to pull Rean's leg. 'The system's rewards are based on the difficulty of accomplishing the system's objectives. Since the reward is so low, that means this Fragment should be easily acquirable. Like Sister Orb mentioned, it is good news.'
'I see...' Rean had to admit it made sense. 'Let's hope it is really the case.'
Dalquiel obviously didn't hear anything and simply put the Fragment that Kafan gave him inside the Gyroscope. It worked just like Roan's Werdlem Hexahedron. Dalquiel sent his Divine Sense inside, and from there, he controlled its functions.
The Gyroscope came to life, and the power of the angels on the surroundings immediately increased. Dalquiel then tested the range of the Gyroscope and confirmed it was pretty much the same as when the Gyroscope was using the other Fragment. "Actually, this Fragment seems to be a little better than the Fragment we have been using so far."
"Well, it does look to be slightly bigger, so that's to be expected," Kafan and Soul Gem added.
Sophia looked at Kafan and Soul Gem for a moment. "Alright, now explain everything. Why do you need this Fragment specifically, and what is the story behind these treasures?"
Kafan looked at Soul Gem, who quickly took the lead. "First, we need the Fragment from our Universe if we are to repair the Universe Foundation Pillar."
"Repair the Pillar? Is that possible?" Naya'il was surprised to hear that.
"It is," Soul Gem nodded. "I've been working on it ever since the Universe was separated in two parts. I trust the angels' sense of justice and pride, so I will tell you. I already have all the Fragments of the Foundation Pillar except for this one you guys have in your hands. However, I can't guarantee it will work. All I can say is that I definitely can't repair the Pillar without it."
"You have all other Fragments?" Sophia found it strange. "But how do you even know how Fragments exist? The Pillar is simply broken."
is."
The Angel Semi-Celestials weren't idiots. "Could it be Werdlem Dark Manipulator?"
Kafan shrugged with a faint smile and eyes closed. "Pretty obvious, right?"
Suddenly, Rean, who hadn't spoken a single word until now, opened his mouth. "Senior Kafan, would the Werdlem Dark and Light Manipulators actually be part of a set?"
"This..." Kafan, Soul Gem, and the Angels were taken aback. "You mean they might have some
other features if joined together, right?"
Rean nodded. "It is just a theory, but I do think it is the case indeed."
However, Dalquiel sighed in the end. "It matters not. Neither we nor the Devils would risk bringing our treasures out of our own realms. They are too important to both sides." Rean pondered a bit and gave a suggestion. "At the moment, it makes sense that you don't want to do such a thing. However, Angels and Devils could reach an agreement. If our Universe reaches a critical state where our loss is guaranteed, perhaps you could give it a try. It would be better than just waiting for the Chaos Origin Source to be taken away. We would all die regardless in the end, after all."
Sophia and the other two had to admit Rean's words carried some weight. "Alright, I will call the Devils and propose this action. Of course, let's work hard to make sure we don't need to do
such a thing."
"Absolutely," Soul Gem's group agreed.
Dalquiel stood up after that and put the Heaven's Gyroscope away. "Since I already confirmed
the Gyroscope is working fine, I'll take my leave. Sophia, Naya'il, you see with them what steps you want to take next." And with that, Dalquiel left.
Sophia turned her attention back to Kafan. "Kafan, what is your Werdlem Hexahedron capable
of doing?"
"I was going to bring this topic up even if you hadn't asked," Kafan quickly began to speak. Then he told how he tested it and the fact that it should have the power to imprison three Semi-Celestials without breaking down.
"Three Semi-Celestials!" Sophia and Naya'il were surprised to hear that. "That is indeed a very powerful treasure. It makes sense it needs a Fragment to be powered. So, the plan would be to hold the Semi-Celestials from Garisan and then trap them inside, am I right?"
Kafan bitterly smiled. "Only if we could use it..."
"What do you mean?" Sophia and Naya'il didn't understand.
Soul Gem was the one to answer that question, though. "Did you forget? I'm using this
Fragment we got from you to repair the Universe Foundation Pillar. So... what exactly can we use to power the Hexahedron with the Fragments gone?"
Sure enough, there was only one way. "We will need to rob another Fragment from their
Spaceships..."
