Death... and me
chapter-2546

For a moment, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and even Celis felt a very slight increase in their cultivation. It wasn't an effective method, and the Divine Origin Energy Cores were definitely better, but it was just enough for the situation since Rean didn't want to cultivate.

The Universe Foundation Fragment had the purest type of Light Element and the ultimate Yang Power... and so did Rean. In this regard, Rean and the Fragment were absolutely identical. Since the Fragment used a completely pure Light Element to attack the Shadow Ferals, Rean decided to gamble.

Sure enough, such pure Light Element was completely harmless to Rean, and it would be the same thing if Rean used his own Light Element against the Fragment's Energy Beast. This was something that even Kentucky couldn't pull off since Kentucky's Light Affinity wasn't the purest of the Universe like Rean's and the Fragment.

The Fragment's Beast looked at Rean from afar with wide-open eyes. "How's that possible..."

Yet, that moment of distraction was enough for Lotar to hit its body once again. Not only that, Lotar even forced the Fragment's Beast even further away from Iolanda and Rean's group. "Well done, brat! Keep our Queen safe!"

*Zuuuuu...*

Suddenly, the sound of another sphere being dragged by the device echoed near Rean, and he looked back just in time to see Iolanda adding the very last Sphere to its slot. Immediately, the last device connected to the barrier also turned off.

*Bzzzzbzbzzzzz...*

*Zal!*

As soon as that happened, the barrier protecting the Light and Dark Sphere of Energy came down, leaving everything inside unprotected. Iolanda's face turned serious before ordering the Shadow Ferals around. "Destroy everything!"

The Shadow Ferals didn't need to hear it twice. Their Dark and Red flames spread all over the place, quickly destroying all the equipment connected to that Sphere.

"Noooo!" The Fragment's sentience screamed from far away as it once again tried to get away from Lotar. However, how could Lotar allow that? With its desperation, it became even easier for Lotar to pin it down. "Stay and play with me."

The Sphere of Light and Dark Energy then began to tremble, having lost the support of all the equipment. When all the equipment was destroyed, it began to grow at an alarming rate. Rean and Kentucky, with their sensibility to both Dark and Light Element, immediately understood what had happened. "Shit, it's going to explode. Everyone, run!"

That thing was able to sustain the Fragment's Energy Beast and allow it to fight a Divinity Realm expert without the use of laws. One can only imagine how much energy must be concentrated in that Sphere for it to be possible. If it exploded, perhaps half of the city would disappear.

Lotar then noticed something about the beast he was fighting. Its form began to crumble, reverting to its initial small Sphere of Light and Dark lights. It then turned around, trying to flee the scene. "You will come with me, little ball."

However, without its energy source, the Fragment wouldn't be able to flee from a Void Tempering Realm expert, let alone a Divinity One. Lotar easily captured it with his Divine Energy before flying to Iolanda's side. Everyone there was already fleeing away, and he could see that this place was dangerous. He quickly grabbed everyone he could with his Divine Energy and shot into the distance.

The Sphere continued to grow even more, obviously not able to suppress all the energy inside anymore. By the time everyone was tens of kilometers away, it had finally reached a critical point.

*Zash!*

*BOOM!*

A flash of Light and Dark light was the first thing everyone saw. Following that, a huge explosion of Divine Origin Energy and a chaotic combination of Light and Dark Elements occurred. In a fraction of a second, everything around it was obliterated. The explosion continued to spread, catching a few Shadow Ferals who simply weren't fast enough to leave the blasting area in time.

Lotar looked at that and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. Space completely broke down in the direction of the explosion. Due to how sturdy the Space in this place was, even Lotar couldn't break it. For that explosion to cause such a phenomenon, it showed just how dangerous it was even for him.

A burst of Divine Energy then passed by his group, and many Shadow Ferals were carried by this wave. Fortunately, this wave alone wasn't as dangerous as the explosion on the back, so those Shadow Ferals were at most severely injured.

Finally, Lotar stopped and released those in his care, including Rean, Kentucky, and Iolanda. They all looked at the aftermatch, impressed by the sight. "No wonder that guy had so much energy. Just how much did he accumulate to create an explosion like that..." Kentucky couldn't help but comment. He looked quite weak, having lost a lot of his Regal Bloodline. It wasn't a lie. He would need a few months to recover it all.

Lotar nodded and then used his Divine Energy to bring the small Sphere of Light and Dark Energy in front of everyone. Naturally, he pulled this thing together. "Queen, this is the guy."

Iolanda narrowed her eyes, seeing that it looked even smaller than the first time they met. "Can you destroy it?"

"Hehe!" The Fragment's voice echoed again. "Destroy me? Good luck!" It knew what it was and just resistant was its body. Let alone Lotar, even a Semi-Celestial might be unable to do anything.

Lotar didn't even give it a try. "It's impossible for me, Queen. I can tell that even our flames wouldn't be able to destroy this thing."

*Boom!*

Suddenly, another sound of an explosion was heard, but this time from another side, the Chasm's side. Everyone in the Space-Time Realm and above immediately felt the huge power of Space coming from there.

"What is happening?" Iolanda asked, concerned.

Rean just smiled in response. "That Energy source was also what kept the City's Barrier running. Now that the source is gone, all the Chaotic Spatial Power can attack the city unhindered. Until we stop the Space Manipulation Crystals, the Chasm's Chaotic Spatial Power will continue to pour and ravage this ruined city."

Iolanda sighed in relief. They just need to go back to the Chasm for that. "Let's return. We will decide what to do with this thing later."
