Chapter 2988: Failed Concealment



"Oh!" Rean understood. "So the reason we couldn't access the features of the system was because it was also something from another Universe?"

Roan nodded. "It does make sense. Do you remember how our Universe often had problems with Foreign Universe Foundation Fragments? The Control Orb was made by Sister Orb using the Universe Foundation Pillar. It's just that she didn't break the pillar, which we fixed with the Fragments."

[I couldn't have said it better,] Sister Orb confirmed. [That's exactly the reason. If the Control Orb was fully activated from the start, considering it is made or a Foreign Universe Foundation, no doubt this Universe would have tried to destroy it. Or, even worse, the Werdlem Empire might have detected its presence and sent experts to deal with the two of you.]

They still remember how Sunkan Planet was once destroyed because of the presence of the system, so it wasn't hard to believe it could happen here as well.

"It seems like we won't be able to use the system for a while..." Rean sighed in response.

[Not really,] Sister Orb quickly intervened. [This crystal I'm sealed inside should be enough to make the Control Orb attune to this Universe. And from the looks of it, all the Universe in the Werdlem Empire seem to be connected, so it might be enough to attune with all of them at once.]

Roan couldn't help but complain. "Why all this bullshit? Why hasn't Hex simply left the crystal with us instead of having us come to the Sunlight Realm? We might have never come to this place to start with." As much as he didn't like Sister Orb, he understood the annoying spirit would make things easier ahead.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[Who knows? Perhaps he wanted to test you two and see if you could find your way to me. To be honest, I think you would have ended here in the Sunlight Realm sooner or later. After all, the system's Destiny Attraction ability is still working, right? Let's not forget he seems to be connected to Soul Gem, calling him brother or whatever, so he definitely knew about this ability of the system.]

Roan narrowed his eyes. "Such a waste of time..."

"Sister Orb," Rean thought of something. "Is this crystal you are inside a Foundation Fragment?"

[Not really,] Sister Orb quickly denied. [It is similar to the Control Orb in the way that it was created, not broken and then taken away. Besides, it only has a very, very tiny amount of energy related to this Universe's Foundation. Any Foreign Foundation Fragment would be countless times more powerful.]

"That reminds me," Rean spoke. "Did everyone get teleported randomly around the palace, or was it only Roan and I?"

[It was everyone,] Sister Orb replied. [However, they were still teleported in batches of two or three experts each. Those who were teleported with the Sun Urpins are the ones making their way here.]

Sister Orb pondered a bit. The twins only had a Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivation, so they were quite slow compared to the Transition Realm experts. [I was going to make you two avoid the Sunlight Beasts, but that won't do. You are too far to get here first if you don't come straight to me.]

"It's fine," Rean didn't care. "My Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill can hide us from them."

*Roar!*

Yet, as soon as Rean passed near a Sunlight Beast, it immediately changed into a demon beast shape and attacked. The twins acted fast, attacking together.

The Sunlight Beast blocked Rean's sword, but that gave Roan just the opening to slash at its core. The Sunlight Beast noticed that and tried to avoid it. Yet, Roan's Scythe seemed to have eyes as it followed the beast's movement.

'Death Style, Death Scythe!'

*Swish!*

A power slash of Light and Dark Elements passed through the beast's core, splitting it in half instantly. Fortunately for the twins, the Sunlight Beast was only as strong as a Stage Seven Demon Beast. Nonetheless, the fact was that it detected the twins instantly.

Roan glanced at Rean, visibly annoyed. "Were you saying?"

Rean's mouth twitched. "Fine... Perhaps my skills aren't of much use in this place. The Sunlight Beasts here definitely have some other way of detecting our presence."
