Death... and me
chapter-2157

Of course, that wasn't everything that happened yet. There was also the reason why this Universe's Foundation Fragment ended up attacking the Foreign Fragment. To be more specific, the Vruves came to this Spaceship because they knew it had a Fragment of the Universe Foundation inside. It's just that the fragment they were after was not the same one as the twins. Instead, it was the fragment from another Universe that was used to power the ship.

Although they didn't tell, anyone could make a wild guess that the Vruves knew someone who was part of this ship in the past. After all, after one reaches the Space-Time Realm, they don't have a lifespan anymore. They are basically immortal. As time passed, a lot of them died for other reasons, but there was a chance that someone from way back truly survived to this day.

In any case, the fact that they ended up bumping into a fragment of this Universe greatly surprised them, including the Vruves themselves. They didn't know it was here. There was absolutely no way that anyone there didn't know what this Fragment of the Universe Foundation was. That was an item that was believed to be linked to the secret of surpassing the Divinity Realm.

It was well known between their powers that a few Divinity Realm, Elder Devils, and Archangels had a fragment. It was an item that literally all the powers there coveted. If one was available, a war could happen to fight for it. Even for the Vruves, it was no different.

One can imagine what transpired after they ended up bumping into this Universe's Fragment. A fight between all four forces immediately started, everyone trying to get the fragment for themselves. Little did they know, however, that it was this fight that caused the Universe Fragment to suddenly spring into action.

As if some kind of reaction happened, the fragment absorbed all the energy being released by the various experts nonstop. Once a critical point arrived, it burst with Dark and Light, Yin and Yang Energies. It had been flying from hand to hand during that fight as Dimensional Realms were blocked in this place. Spatial Rings couldn't hold such a high-level item either.

However, it suddenly broke away from the expert holding it last and shot into the distance like a bullet. One could already guess that the fight immediately stopped at that very moment. The fragment they were fighting for was escaping, so how could they care about the others? Everyone shot into the distance, using all their power to follow the fragment.

It didn't matter what they did. They simply couldn't force it to stop. If anything, the fragment seemed to gain more and more power as it flew. Before long, everyone gave up fighting and simply followed it, afraid of being left behind. There was a good thing, though. The fragment was considered the highest threat by the defense system of the Spaceship, so most of the attacks were directed at it. That allowed everyone to travel with more ease.

At some point, the fragment stopped in a certain position before it began to accumulate even more energy. Everyone looked from a distance while they also defended against the system's defenses. Next thing they knew, the fragment shot to the ground like a rocket, opening a huge hole in its path.

That scared everyone quite a little. They knew very well just how resistant this ship's walls were. They could open a hole as well if they attacked with all their power, but that hole wouldn't be more than a meter or two deep. As for the Fragment? It kept going down, breaking through rooms, corridors, facilities, and equipment. Nothing could stop it. No one there could even dream about displaying such power.

Of course, they weren't idiots either. As soon as the fragment began to make its way down, they all jumped into the hole and followed it. For some reason, the power of the fragment greatly reduced the speed of recovering system, so the holes were barely repaired at all, giving them plenty of time to go through.

Still, the fragment was much, much faster than everyone else. If the holes were not left behind in its path, everyone would have lost sight of where the fragment went.

The rest is as everyone already knows. The fragment's target was none other than the Spaceship's Foreign Fragment. It broke through any defenses on the way and smashed into the Foreign Fragment inside the Dimensional Yin yang Reactor. It was as if it couldn't let that fragment's existence continue.

Sometime later, the twins arrived in the room with Tanxan. Naturally, the experts that were following the fragment did the same, following the destruction left behind by the Universe's Fragment. Now they were all in an impasse as they could see that not only one but two fragments were present in that room.

'They look quite ragged,' Luan couldn't help but comment in the distance while he kept himself hidden.

The twins nodded. It was pretty obvious to them that these experts in the Space-Time Realm had a really bad time before arriving in this place.

Surprisingly, the silence in the room lasted quite a while. That's because everyone was looking at the fragments in the center of the room. Usually, they would have already started to fight to see who would take both fragments away. Unfortunately, they all could see just how much energy and elements those fragments were releasing. Let alone them and their Space-Time Realm cultivation. They were sure that even Divinity Realm, Elder Devils, and Archangel experts would just be throwing themselves into their deaths if they got close to those two things.

Of course, the silence didn't last forever. That's because Tanxan ended up losing his patience. "Who the hell are all of you? Get the fuck out of my ship right now!" Tanxan's body shined as the several threads inside him increased his connection with the system. "System, activate all defenses and give me control. Power Output SS+."
