Death... and me
chapter-2455

Rean and Tamires finished laughing a moment later. Finally, Rean asked something that was making him curious. "Is the brown colors of your wings because of your human blood?" He had never seen a hybrid of angels and humans, so he didn't know.

Tamires nodded. "That's basically it. I've seen other hybrids of Light Beings... you call them angels, right? Anyway, I've seen hybrids of angels and humans before back in Lingan. They also had darker-colored feathers, just like me. The angel bloodline is much stronger, so most of our characteristics still follow the angel race. Yet, although our affinity with Light Element is there, it is not as good as real pure-blooded angels like Dad."

Rean was satisfied with the answer. "That seems problematic."

"You have no idea!" As if stepping on a landmine, Rean's words triggered several not very good memories from Tamires. "The pure-blooded angels are very prideful, not accepting anyone with mixed bloodlines. Trust me, you definitely don't want to pay a visit to an angel counterpart if you are a hybrid. They will treat you as if you don't even exist."

"Seems like racism isn't something you find on Earth alone," Juliana couldn't help but comment.

"Well, you have no need to care about such things anymore," Rean added. "Instead, I have another question for you."

This time, Rean's expression turned serious as he asked. "What do you plan to do from now on? Just so that you know, you are definitely not our prisoner or anything like that. If you want to stand up and leave this Facility right now, you can do it. No one will stop you."

"Then..." Tamires thought for a moment and asked. "Can you bring me to the city above and just leave me there somewhere? Also, there should be quite a few Divine Origin Energy cores in this Facility, considering the working robots around. Give me some of them, too, so that I can survive on my own."

Tamires couldn't consume Divine Origin Energy due to her cultivation. However, she was someone from Lingan, so she knew how to use those cores to extract the lowest Divine Energy for consumption.

Rean didn't mind and immediately passed Tamires a hundred of those cores, much to Celis's anger. Rean simply ignored Celis' complaint coming from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and concluded the action. "Considering your cultivation, these guys should be enough for many, many years."

Tamires nodded. She knew how to use them. "Thank you. I don't want to sound rude, but would you mind delivering me to the city right now? I will think about something myself."

"Mom, I'll be right back," Rean didn't complain and immediately grabbed Tamiries with his Divine Energy.

With his level, a few seconds was more than enough for him to move with her all the way to the city. After landing on a more discrete corner, Rean put Tamires down. "Well, take these with you. There are a few clothes similar to what people use on this planet. That will help you attract less attention. Also, do you have a way to hide your wings? The living beings on this planet pose absolutely no threat with your cultivation, but I think it should be better not to catch their attention."

Tamires nodded with a smile. "I do. That's an advantage real angels don't have. They can't hide their wings, but we hybrids can. Well, at least hybrids of humans and angels, that is." Without wasting time, Tamires's wings began to shrink until they were barely visible at all. They were still there, but a shirt was more than enough to cover them. Tamires quickly took out one of the shirts Rean gave her and put it on herself. "That's basically it."

Rean nodded, not minding it. "Well then, Tamires. It was good to meet my half-sister. Here, take this as well." Rean then passed her two long-distance thoughts transmission talismans. "This talisman will allow you to contact a Death Spirit called Kafan. If you need something one day, just use it. He will help you. The other talisman will be enough to contact me as long as I'm still on this side of the Universe. Me and the others will now return to the other side of the Universe. Of course, if you wish, I can bring you there too."

Tamires shook her head. "No need. I have my own plans."

"Very well," Rean smiled and turned around. In the next moment, he used his spatial power and disappeared, returning to the Facility where his mother was waiting. Kentucky was still exploring it, too, so it wasn't like he could simply leave straight away.

Seeing Rean coming back, Juliana couldn't help but ask. "is it really okay to leave that girl on her own? She might have this 'power' of cultivation you mentioned. However, she is still 16. That's not an age you should leave a girl on her own."

Rean laughed in response. "Leave her? Don't worry, we will not leave her. She will come with us."

Juliana was puzzled. "But... didn't you just send her out?"

Rean nodded. "I did. She wasn't a prisoner after all."

"Then..." Juliana felt Rean's confident smile to be quite strange.

Rean just shook his head, though. "You will see soon enough. Besides, I might be wrong."

Rean then began to walk around the Facility with his mother and have some conversations with her while he recorded many different circuitry formation runes. For Rean, this place was a treasure trove, so he made sure Sister Orb recorded everything in the Circuitry Formation Repository for his study later.

A day quickly passed before Kentucky finally returned to see Rean and Juliana. "Meh, it's getting boring. Rean, can we go back already?"

Rean pondered a bit and looked at the long-distance thoughts transmission talisman in his Spatial Ring. "Could it be I was wrong?"

Yet, he barely had time to doubt himself before the talisman activated. "Oh, there it is!"

Sure enough, the one on the other side was none other than Tamires.
