Death... and me
chapter-1564

The cracks suddenly spread out like spiderwebs, creating a chain reaction that covered the entire thing! Rean then looked at Clinbay’s group and told them, “Seniors, be ready. It’s going down. You must stop the Light Seekers from feeding the altar!”

As soon as Rean said that, the dome lost the power necessary to stop Roan’s Dark Element.

*Crack, crack, crack… shatter!*

The dome then broke into countless pieces of energy, revealing the members of the Light Seekers organization.

How could Clinbay and the others let the chance pass up? “Attack!”

Giam and his elders immediately noticed the peril they were in and stopped feeding the altar with their Divine Energy. After all, they had to defend themselves, or they would die there.

Unfortunately for them, the Light Seekers didn’t have a single Space Bending Realm cultivator or demon beast. First of all, the Light Seekers had never been a strong power in the Upside Down World. It was already very good that they had a few Void Tempering Realm members. Naturally, they had no chance against Clinbay, Lutik, Prom, Rikarf, Wallib, and Cesar, who were all in the Space Bending Realm.

Soon, all the members of the Light Seekers were killed or captured, stopping the energy from being fed into the altar. As they did that, the Upside Down World also stopped trembling.

”We did it!” Seeing that the world’s collapse stopped, everyone cheered.

Giam, who had been easily captured, just wanted to die already. “Just kill me. There’s no need to delay it.”

Clinbay snorted in response. “As if! You have a lot of questions to answer. Besides, we might still use this being in the altar to get us out, can’t we?”

Everyone then looked at the altar, which suddenly turned silent. “Hehe! Seems like the tables have turned, no?”

However, what greeted them was a could laugh. ‘Kekeke! You really are just a bunch of ants. So what if you stopped me from absorbing the world’s essence? I can totally force all of you to do the same now.’

*Roar!*

It was then that a defying roar came from the hole leading to the surface.

Clinbay’s group felt a chill on their backs after that. “It’s the creature he was trying to create to fight us!”

’Kekeke! That’s exactly it. It’s a shame I had to waste so much World Essence to create that thing just for it to crumble a few days later. However, that will be enough to deal with you all.’

Clinbay didn’t waste time and immediately attacked the altar. Obviously, everyone else did the same thing.

*Boom, boom boom, boom, boom…*

Unfortunately, their weapons and skills didn’t leave a single scratch on the altar at all.

’Kekeke! This altar was created to hold me inside. In fact, you should be happy that you can’t destroy it. After all, that would be more than enough to set my soul free. At least you’ll be able to struggle a bit before dying to my little Dust Puppet. Even that Dark Element boy won’t be able to do a thing against it. At the very least, not in time to stop me from killing you all. Well, I guess I won’t kill everyone since I need some food to finish my escaping process.’

*Bang!*

*Arrrgh!*

Suddenly, an explosion came from the hole leading to the surface as many cultivators and demon beasts fell through it. They were Levid’s group, who stayed outside to defend the entrance to the underground area.

Soon after, something that looked like a white-colored demon came floating through the hole as it looked at everyone. Immediately, everyone understood. It wasn’t a mindless creature like all the others. Not only that, it was obviously far stronger than the likes of Clinbay. Those at the Space Bending Realm were probably ants before it.

It was then that it began to speak with the same voice as the one on the altar. However, it wasn’t Divine Sense this time. “Now then, I guess I’ll start with these twins.” Anyone could tell that the white demon was being directly controlled by that being on the altar.

The white demon then looked at the twins, who just so happened to stop by the side of his altar. “What? Do you think you can threaten me with my own altar? Hehe! Too naive.”

However, Rean and Roan laughed out loud in response. “Stop you? Of course not! We just need to stop the white demon. Hahaha!”

The being inside the altar felt a chill in his mind as he said, ‘What are you go-‘

*Vup!*

However, before he could finish answering his question, the altar suddenly disappeared! It wasn’t anything big to start with. Then again, no one would have missed it if it was still there, which was not the case at this point.

As soon as that happened, the smile on the white demon disappeared as it fell to the ground. Not only that, but all the white powder creatures in the light pillar also stopped moving, although they still had their energy inside. It was just like Rean and Roan said. They were going to stop the white demon, nothing else.

That wasn’t all. The light pillar outside also disappeared straight away. As for the white powder, it began to disappear, just like it did outside. If not because of all the cracks and destruction in the world, it would be hard to tell if the light pillar had ever appeared in the first place.

Clinbay and the others quickly landed near the twins. “Wh-What did you do?”

Rean then held a spatial ring in his hand as he said, “When the Divine Energy and World Essence was stopped, the altar became nothing more than a simple item. All we had to do was send it inside. Done! Its connection to everything else in the Upside Down World was severed. Simple, no?”

”This…” They knew Rean was right. It was indeed very simple. However, would any of them come up with this idea at that moment?

Following that, Rean’s hand was infused with Divine Energy.

Immediately, everyone understood what Rean was going to do. “Stop!”

However, they were too late. Rean closed his hand, crushing the spatial ring. It was now lost, forever.

”Eh? You guys wanted to keep it?” Rean asked with an innocent expression. Of course, he knew very well what they wanted. They still held the hope that the being on the altar would be able to bring them out. Now, however, that chance was gone forever.

When one broke a spatial ring, everything inside was thrown into the fabric of space. No one could tell if the things inside would be destroyed by the spatial storms or if they would resurface somewhere else in the Realm of Gods. One thing was for sure, though. It was impossible for them to recover it now. Well, that was what the twins exactly wanted.

As soon as Rean did that…

*Pin!*

[Congratulations, Hosts. The quest ‘Prevent the beings of the Upside Down World from escaping’ is now complete.]
