Death... and me
chapter-2061

Everyone looked at Roan without knowing what to say. Wasn't that going to destroy the Soul Gem Orb? If that happens, how will they fix the Universe? "Did you hate Sister Orb that much?"

Roan looked at them as if he was looking at idiots. "Isn't that obvious?"

Being connected to the twins through the soul threads, Sister Orb obviously heard his answer. [Go to hell!]

"I'm here already," Roan answered as a matter of fact.

Sister Orb wanted to complain more, but there wasn't time for that. She quickly approached the Silver and Golden Light Space-Time field. For a moment, she thought about using her control over the Soul Gem Orb to stop and fly back to where the twins' group was located. However, although Roan said what he did, she knew Roan never did any meaningless actions, especially one that could hinder his objectives.

*Swup!*

Sure enough, something different happened as soon as she got close to the Silver and Golden Light range. Instead of the Space-Time Power tearing the Soul Gem Orb apart, the field instead opened for her to pass. It was as if the Space-Time power around Sister Orb didn't dare to touch her. [Oh! I see it now!]

Sister Orb then stabilized herself instead of using Roan's throw momentum. From there, she kept floating in the direction of the Universe Fragment in the center as all the Spatial Tears and Golden Time movements cleaned away.

Seeing that, Rean finally understood as well. "Right! I'm such an idiot. How didn't I notice it?"

"Because you are an idiot. You said it yourself," Roan added.

Rean's mouth twitched a little but didn't rebuke.

The others, on the other hand, were curious about what was happening. "So, can you explain why the Space-Time Field isn't affecting Sister Orb?"

"It's quite simple, in fact." Rean began to explain. "The Spatial Power generated by the Universe Fragment. I couldn't feel it while we were outside of the wall since the Spatial Power there is just being manipulated. However, this one is truly being generated by the Fragment itself."

Rean then pointed at the Golden and Silver Light field. "Kentucky, Celis, Luan, and Gem should be able to feel it. The Spatial Power around the Fragment is exactly the same used to keep the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. The only difference is that this one is being used haphazardly while the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm is fine-controlled. Nonetheless, they are truly the same."

Indeed, Kentucky and the others tried to focus on the characteristics of the Space-Time Field and could tell that although they were being used differently, they were definitely the same.

Rean continued. "The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm exists because of the Soul Gem Orb. It will never harm the Soul Gem Orb. Since that's the case, it is just right that the Fragment's Spatial Power won't harm Sister Orb either."

[Rean is correct. I'm totally fine inside this place. If anything, it's quite comfortable.] Sister Orb added from within the Space-Time field.

Still, Sesame couldn't help but ask. "So, the Spatial Power is the same as the one used by the Soul Gem Orb. But what about the Time power? Does the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm also have Time Power? Is that why the Time Golden Light isn't trying anything against the Soul Gem Orb?"

Roan shook his head. "I don't know. I only bet in the Spatial Power, not the time one."

"This..." Everyone was speechless.

[Hey, hey, hey! Then what if it tried to act against me?] Sister Orb obviously heard that as well.

Roan shrugged his shoulders. "Spatial Power is the only destructive energy within that field, isn't it? If the Time Golden Light tried to act against you, all it would be able to do is accelerate or slow down the time you are experiencing. Perhaps the worst case would be that it would stop the time completely, and you would be stuck. Nonetheless, it wouldn't cause harm to you."

[Were you sure about that?] Sister Orb had her doubts about Roan's words.

"None whatsoever." Roan didn't hide his thoughts as always.

[Fuck you!]

Rean sighed in relief, seeing that Sister Orb could move safely inside the Silver and Golden Light Field. "Alright, Sister Orb, go get the Fragment. It will be the first Fragment that you will get, so at least no one can say you are useless anymore."

[Was that supposed to be a compliment?] Sister Orb was feeling more and more like just giving up altogether.

Luan knew better not to meddle in the twins and Sister Orb's bickerings, so he just changed the topic. "Ahem... Father, Uncle Rean, since the Spatial Power in that field is the same as the Soul Gem Orb's, wouldn't the time Power also be the same?"

Roan looked at Luan, knowing he had thought something. "Where are you trying to go?"

Luan nodded before explaining, "Look at how the Golden Light of Time gives way, just like the Silver Light of Space. Suppose the Spatial Power in that field is doing that really because it is the same as the Soul Gem Orb. In that case, it is plausible to think that the Soul Gem Orb also has Time-related powers. Not only that, it is the same as the Fragment's Time Power."

Roan and the others fell into deep thought. "That sure makes sense. Still, we have never seen any Time-Related upgrades in the Soul Gem System Reward List. The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm's time also moves at the same rate as the outside time."

It was then that Roan noticed the issue with his words. "Right! It moves just like the outside!"

Luan smiled in response. "Exactly, Father. The time here in the Swamp of no Return keeps fluctuating. We know it moves a lot faster, but it changes how much faster it is without stopping; very erratic. Still, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm matches the outside time oscillations perfectly. What does that mean? It means the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, or the Soul Gem Orb, to be more specific, does have time power!"
