Chapter 2598 What To Do?
Roan tried to calm down. "Alright, forget it. No point cursing him anyway since we are just losing time. So, Soul Gem, tell me, what can we do to fulfill the system's objective?"
"I..." Soul Gem was aware of the things that happened in the twin's life even though he was hibernating. He just couldn't wake up to talk since it would cause trouble with his recovery. Naturally, he knew the state of the war between Devils and the Realm of Gods. The war had picked up in speed, as the years spent trying to get rid of the Living Soul Devil prevented it from continuing before. The time Hyeoumu can keep the Continental Barriers down is not infinite, and it should be getting pretty close. That said, there is no way the Realm of Gods would stop its assault against the Devils in their Realm.
"Would it be possible to make the Realm of Gods win this war within a week?" Rean asked Roan, who was the real strategist there. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, Roan immediately shook his head. "Unless the Devils or the Realm of Gods' Powers suddenly decided to surrender, it is absolutely impossible to finish it in a week. Just the time necessary to cross a continent with such gigantic armies takes years, and that's already with the help of countless teleport formations being set nonstop."
"Regardless if it is the Devils who force the Realm of Gods back or the Realm of Gods that forces the Devils back, the outcome will take several decades, and I'm already being very optimistic," Roan concluded.
"What about having Hyeoumu raise the Continental Barriers?" Rean asked. "If he does so, the war will be forced to stop. The Devils would still be in control of quite a few continents, but nowhere near what they had before. That should be enough to end the war, right? After all, the Realm of Gods won't be able to attack anymore with the barriers up."
[That won't work.] Sister Orb quickly threw cold water on Rean's idea. [The quest obviously said to 'End the War.' The Realm of Gods might still be far from finishing it, but they definitely have a huge advantage at this point. Even if the barriers are raised again, the war will continue as the top experts will force many tunnels open in the barrier. It is a precious chance of getting rid of all Devils here, so just the barriers are far from enough. If anything, raising the Continental Barriers back will only prolong the war.]
Soul Gem sighed. "You guys will have to think about something. As I said, I truly can't stay for long, and my contact should be arriving anytime soon. I already got one of the communication system's badges, so you can contact me if you need to."
"You caused all this shit, and you are leaving without finding a solution?! That's bullshit!" Rean was fuming!
Yet, Soul Gem shook his head. "I will continue to think about it. If I can find a solution, I'll pass it on to you. As I said, I now have no more access to the system, so I can't alter anything in there. No one can. My presence here is pretty much irrelevant. Don't worry, though. If you fail, now that I'm back alive, I will try to find a solution to save the Universe on my own."
Rean wanted to say something, but Roan stopped him. "Let him do whatever he wants. If we fail, we can't bring him down with us. Someone has to take the mantle and try to save the Universe for the sake of our families."
Rean was taken aback for a moment, but he thought about Qia, Fay, and the others. "Fine! I'll go out with him since someone has to bring him through the Dragon Race guards."
Rean then disappeared from the Dimensional Realm with Soul Gem. Sure enough, as soon as he came out, a member of the Dragon Race approached him, saying that someone outside was asking for him. Rean looked at Soul Gem, who nodded back. "Should be him."
A few minutes later, Rean brought Soul Gem to the entrance, which others could use to request things from the Dragon Race or pay visits. There, Rean saw a middle-aged man with black eyes and hair looking straight at Soul Gem. "Took you long enough."
Soul Gem bitterly smiled. "Do you have any idea how complicated it is to heal an almost shattered soul, especially one at my level?" Soul Gem then changed the topic. "Did you collect everything?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "It wasn't easy, but I got all the fragments that spread on this side of the Universe. As for the other side, you can only rely on Kafan for that."
"I already requested his help when I visited the other side," Soul Gem mentioned. Back then, he was left alone with Kafan, who would help him to accelerate the recovery of his soul. That's when he also talked to him. "He will bring everything he finds to this side soon."
Rean heard all of that and was still confused. Obviously, these two didn't want to tell much about their plans. However, one thing took Rean by surprise when he tried to check on the middle-aged man. "You... are a Death Spirit, aren't you?"
The man looked at Rean with a surprised expression. "I haven't been called that in a very, very long time."
Kafan mentioned that the other side of the Universe still had one Death Spirit alive. He even said that Rean and Roan might never meet that Spirit in their lives. Yet, here he is, a friend of Soul Gem.
Soul Gem used a Divine Sense message to explain things to the man, who finally understood. "So he is one of the two, uh? Whatever. Just call me Rugo. Now then, Gem, let's get out of here before anyone starts paying too much attention to me."
"Very well," Soul Gem nodded, and Rugo quickly caught him with his Spatial Power. After that, a Spatial Gate was opened, and Soul Gem disappeared inside with Rugo. No one knows where or what they would be doing.
