Death... and me
chapter-2144

'Lasers on the walls, 240 meters ahead, after the next left corner! There are five of them this time!' Luan immediately informed the twins of the additional danger as he followed them from behind.

Rean and Roan had no choice but to pass through that passage, so they promptly split up, each taking one side of the corridor. It wasn't that there weren't better paths; it's just that the other routes were blocked due to the damage in Cryogenic Chamber 13R.

*Ziu, ziu, ziu, ziu...*

'Life Style, Enhancement!'

'Death Style, Shadow Steps!'

The twins skillfully evaded left and right while the lasers kept targeting the false center of their mass. In the end, Rean was correct. The lasers aimed at the wrong parts of their bodies because he was also employing the Light Bending Skill. The other sensors couldn't discern Rean and Roan's true appearance, so they simply shot at what their programming deemed the most significant areas.

Just as the twins prepared to counterattack the lasers, Luan's voice once again resonated in their minds through Divine Sense. 'Careful! There are at least ten of those deranged robots about to surround and attack you.'

The twins had already lost count of the number of times the robots had attacked them, only to self-destruct in the end. Eventually, the robots abandoned attempts to kill the group with conventional attacks. As mobile units, they lacked the firepower of the lasers and other wall-mounted weapons, which had a direct energy source. Consequently, the robots changed their strategy, attempting to get as close as possible to the twins to self-destruct. Fortunately, not all of them had those teleport systems inside them, so it was a little easier to deal with.

The twins observed that the robots would emerge right in front of them at the end of this corridor. Perhaps they were trying to obstruct the twins to allow the lasers to continue firing while they held them down. However, this positioning would also bunch them together for a brief moment.

'Death and Life Style, Seventh Form, Sun and Moon Obliteration!'

This was an attack the twins hadn't employed in quite some time. They concentrated their Light and Dark Elements onto their weapons, surpassing the usual quantity used in any other attack. Afterward, instead of the typical fusion, they intentionally provoked a reaction between the two elements. Finally, they unleashed their weapons, causing a surge of chaotic Dark and Light Elements.

But that wasn't all. This attack also contained traces of Fused Energies, not to mention their weapon intents at the third level.

The robots immediately appeared on either side, forming a barrier while the lasers behind them intensified their barrage. Unfortunately for them, their actions only fueled the already chaotic wave of Dark and Light Elements!

"Explode!"

*BOOM!*

Both the robots and the lasers behind them were instantly obliterated! However, the twins kept their distance.

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

The Divine Origin Energy cores of the robots and accumulated energy of the lasers promptly combusted as well, triggering a chain reaction that swept through all the corridors, extending several hundred meters. The twins and Luan were naturally within range, unable to dodge. Fortunately, they were far enough from the explosion for their protective barriers to withstand the blast.

'These robots and lasers are much weaker than I anticipated,' Rean commented suddenly, waiting for the explosion to subside.

Roan nodded. 'But have you noticed that they all seem to be in quite poor condition? They're in much worse shape than the patrol robots we encountered in that insignificant sector.'

'The system wasn't kidding when it mentioned that Chamber 13R had sustained significant damage. Even the weapon systems aren't functioning properly,' Rean added. 'Luan, can you check if the energy being supplied to the wall-mounted lasers is somehow affected?'

Luan wasted no time and focused even more on his elemental world. He could perceive the faint threads of energy permeating everything around him, including those directed at the lasers. Unlike the robots, the lasers lacked cores. The energy released when they attacked the twins originated from these threads. 'The energy supply is highly irregular. Now that I think about it, the threads I observed in the water management sector were far superior.'

'Just as I suspected,' Rean expressed his satisfaction with Luan's answer. 'The energy source in this sector is damaged, or perhaps it lacks one altogether, so it's drawing energy from other sectors. That explains why we're finding these defenses relatively easy to deal with.'

Indeed, the weapons systems here were inferior to those in other areas. However, it wasn't a walk in the park for everyone. The truth was that even experts in the Space-Time Realm would have encountered greater challenges than the twins currently faced. Not because they were weaker but because they heavily relied on their Spatial and Time powers, whereas the twins could lean more on their purer elements, fused energies, and, most importantly, their starlight bodies. Let's not forget Rean's superior weapons and their weapon intents too. The environment simply made the twins' methods more optimal than anyone else.

'Let's proceed!' Roan noticed a slight decrease in the explosion's intensity and immediately leaped forward. The walls were incredibly robust, so despite the damage, they held firm. The auto-repair system would soon activate, restoring them to their previous state. However, this also included the lasers on the walls, so the twins had no intention of being present when that happened.

"System, which direction now?" Rean spoke loudly. Prior to entering Chamber 13R, Rean had requested a means of communication within. As expected, the system guided them to a room where they obtained a few devices capable of communication within the spaceship. The best part was that these devices required an ID card to function, making it highly likely that only the twins possessed the ability to utilize them on the ship at the moment. It was perfect for a Spaceship where Divine Sense was almost completely blocked.

-Two floors down. The elevator has been compromised due to damage in Chamber 13R. Please proceed to the stairs located 1316 meters away from your current position. To reach there, take the second left and then the eleventh right.-

"Understood!"
