Death... and me
chapter-2163

*Zush!*

The next moment, Tanxan used the room's gravity control to flash away with Rean and Roan. Sure, the twins helped him earlier, but he was still faster while using the defense system now that he was back to his high-alert self.

*Boom!*

Another attack came, this time from one of the Devils who was also using some treasure to increase his power.

*Ziu, ziu, ziu...*

Yet, he hit nothing and fell within a barrage of laser attacks, which he was forced to defend against instead of continuing to pursue Tanxan.

Tanxan reappeared in another corner of the room. His eyes then focused on the manipulation Core of the Reactor, the Fragment. At that moment, the Vruve Organization Experts used the opening in the Yin yang Barrier to enter inside, trying to snatch the Foreign Fragment.

As for the twins, they just observed. They had indeed received a sub-quest to destroy that fragment. However, let alone the fact they didn't know if it was possible. There was also the problem where they would condemn Tanxan to be trapped in this Universe instead of having a chance to return to his own. As much as they wanted more Destiny Points, they weren't willing to go against their beliefs for it. That's why they never tried to use any method to start with and just helped Tanxan.

"Friction Repeal!"

-Request Accepted-

Suddenly, Luluch and Itihis felt their bodies being pushed away from the Foreign Fragment, not being able to stabilize their bodies even with the help of the treasure. However, it didn't last long.

-Frictional Repeal Deactivated-

'I knew it!' Tanxan focused on the same guy as before. "I don't know why you have such high clearance in my ship but don't think I can't stop it. System, nullify all ranks below Major in the Dimensional Yin Yang Reactor!"

-Request Accepted-

At the same time, Tanxan flashed away once again while pulling the twins with him to dodge another attack from the other experts.

This time, the Yin Yang Barrier around the Foreign Fragment closed completely, not opening anymore.

"Fuck!" Luluch and Itihis cursed out loud, feeling their cultivation bases being suppressed once again. The expert hidden within that group wasn't, in fact, a member of their organization. He wasn't even alive to start with. He was more like a puppet that the Vruve Organization members brought inside their Spatial Rings.

However, that puppet had a bloodline and above all, it had one of the ID Cards of the Spaceship. That proved once again that the Vruve Organization really knew a lot more about this place than anyone else.

Luluch and Itihis didn't dwell there. The power of their treasures wasn't as strong as the Elder Devil Blood Plate, so it definitely couldn't last as long. Seeing that Tanxan completely nullified their puppet's clearance level, they were forced to retreat.

*Zush, zush!*

They quickly grabbed the puppet and dashed through the hole in the ceiling... or so they wanted to.

*Bang, bang!*

Just as they were about to pass through the hole that Spiegel and Waremis used, they ended up hitting a wall instead. "What is this?!"

It was then that the hole disappeared from their sight. After Tanxan let Waremis and Spiegel leave, he used the system to project a holographic hole over the real one. At the same time, he used the now-stabilized Reactor's power to fix the real hole behind the hologram. Simply put, that hole was gone a long time ago. "What is this? This is the place where you all die!"

The power of the defense system increased even more as Tanxan got used to it. At some point, he didn't even need to dodge anything. Just his control of all the weapons and robots proved impossible for any of the experts there to try to attack him.

Some tried to blast the doors where the robots came from, just to find out that those doors were even more resistant than the others they had broken through so far. Others were still greedy, trying to break the Yin Yang Barrier to snatch the fragment before their treasures' powers were spent. As for Luluch and Itihis, they understood that the only way out was to eliminate Tanxan, so they insisted on using everything they had to try to catch that Jelly.

It was all for nothing, though. Experts died one after another while the assault became more and more restless. Different from the twins, none of them could enter their Dimensional Realms. Even if they could, Tanxan would destroy them with the ship's Spatial Powers.

Rean, Roan, and Luan just looked at all that happened from afar. Since they weren't attacking, the others didn't bother with them to start with. Not to mention that even if they did, Rean and Roan would simply disappear from their sight.

Surprisingly though, someone seemed to find a way out.

At another corner of the Reactor Room stood a Demon Beast in human form who used his race's treasure to slip away from the barrage for a moment. Following that, he took out a Green Gem from his Spatial Ring, which he immediately crashed with his hand.

*Crack!*

Much to Tanxan's shock, the space around that Demon Beasr broke apart before a skeletal green hand came out. He found it ridiculous since the Spaceship's Spatial Restrictions were still in place. It wasn't supposed to be possible to open a breach in the Fabric of Space, especially in the Reactor Room.

Nonetheless, it was too late. The Skeletal Green hand grabbed that Demon Beast and pulled it inside. All the other experts tried to rush to that gate but were unable to get there in time. The gate closed right in front of them as the Demon Beast and the Skeletal hand disappeared.

Luluch and Itihis looked at each other and nodded. Although they were unwilling, they knew there was no chance of obtaining the Foreign Fragment anymore. Above all, they must report to their superiors that the Spaceship still had a survivor and a survivor with a higher clearance than their puppet had. The Vruve Organization was indeed full of resources, so those two also brought also treasures of similar effect to what that Demon Beast used.

It was even easier for them since the Demon Beast's display caught everyone's attention, facilitating their escape. Another two cracks in space appeared near them, which they immediately used to jump inside, leaving everyone behind.

The Demon Beast and Vruves were the only ones with such trump cards, though. The rest weren't as lucky and could only meet the end of their fate inside the Reactor Room. They died like flies, not being able to muster any meaningful resistance.

Seeing that everyone who was supposed to be dead finally down, Tanxan stopped the Defense System in the room while looking at two sorry figures on the ground.

Rean, Roan, and Luan appeared at his side a moment later, looking at the same figures.

Tanxan then glanced at the twins before asking, "Is this enough?"

The twins nodded. "Thank you once again, senior Tanxan."

The reason those two figures survived was not because they were strong but because Tanxan purposely spared them. Rean and Roan had sent him a Divine Sense Message, asking him to leave them alive. Since the twins saved him once again a moment ago, Tanxan obviously had to repay the favor, so he did what they asked him. "However, you will be the ones to deal with those two."

"No problem," Rean and Roan nodded. At the moment, they were looking at Pulanli and Werin, the cultivator and the Minokawa. They had plans for these two.
