Death... and me
chapter-2770

The construct was teeming with an overwhelming number of Grape Spheres, each one a potential threat. "What if we gather a lot of experts from all Realms to launch a coordinated attack on these Grapes?" someone suggested, their voice laced with desperation.

Kafan's response was a somber shake of his head. "Those in the Initial Stage of the Space- Time Realm. How many of these can you realistically eliminate in one fell swoop?"

There were indeed various Space-Time Realm experts from the three Higher Realms and even some from the Vruves in that place. Quite a few were in the Initial Stage.

"I can only destroy one... and I always have to go all out to get through its defenses." The first one responded.

"The same for me here. These things are truly resistant," someone else, clearly struggling, mentioned.

"I'm not that good at attacking. I'm more focused on defense, so I had to attack three times in a roll to get one of them down," another one also spoke.

Similar answers appeared. There were only two or three exceptions that who said to be able to destroy two Grape Spheres after attacking with everything they had. It's just that, just like all others, once they take the spheres down, they lose a lot of their Divine Energy. In the end, the best of them could only manage to bring down ten or so Spheres before he ran out of energy completely.

"Didn't someone say that these spheres aren't that hard to destroy?" Black Locust asked with a dark expression, turning his eyes to Romario.

However, Romario just shook his head. "What I said was taking into consideration experts like us in the Divinity Realm. I didn't count the Space-Time Realm ones."

Kafan intervened there. "It doesn't matter. I asked the guys in the Initial Stage of the Space- Time Realm to answer to show that bringing more experts won't be of much use. If even they are having so much difficulty in destroying a single Grape Sphere, what about those in the Elemental Space Realm and below? In the end, our Universe just doesn't have enough experts with enough strength to destroy the Grap Sphere faster than they reproduce."

Everyone went silent for a moment. It was then that Kentucky remembered something. "What about senior Hyeoumu? He is so big and definitely ridiculously strong. Wouldn't he be able to destroy this thing if he tried?"

Many eyes narrowed. Kentucky might have been the first one to mention Hyeoumu, but he definitely wasn't the first one to think about it. Hyeoumu pretty much never intervened with anything. No one knows why, but he seemed to be bound by some rules. Just convincing him to bring down the Continental Barriers was already a gargantuan task for the Realm of God's Experts. Now, asking him to move from his resting place and come here to help? That didn't seem to be possible.

"We might have to think of a way to convince him..." Sophia mentioned for a moment.

"First of all, why can't he move from that place?" Someone else asked.

Too bad no one had an answer.

Yet, they could at least guess, and Roan was the first one to point out a possibility. "It might be because of the Temporal Path."

"The Temporal Path?" Gragtou and the others obviously knew it. The path was what connected the Heavens, the Underworld, and the Realm of Gods. Truth be told, it wasn't strictly necessary for them to use that path. The Semi-Celestials and Divinity Realm experts, for example, definitely could travel between the three Higher Realms without using it. The problem is that it takes a lot longer to do so.

Roan continued. "The Temporal Path, as you know, connects the three Higher Realms. However, Hyeoumu is a Living Being. I highly doubt the Temporal Path is there because of him. Instead, I think it is the opposite. Hyeoumu is there because of the Temporal Path. The Temporal Path is the only thing I can think of that could possibly interest a being of his caliber."

Everyone had to admit Roan's words made sense. However, it wasn't like it

was of much use. "If he is there because of the Temporal Path, then just forget it. We can't move the Temporal Path on our own."

"I'll contact him," Sansara suggested. As a Semi-Celestial, he could also alter the laws to reach Hyeoumu, just like everyone else. As long as they aren't actively trying to hide, of course. Hyeoumu has never had a need to hide, so they can reach him like this.

No one stopped Sansara. Once he was finished, they could simply manipulate time around him and he would be able to comprehend the laws he forgets in the attempt.

The Semi-Celestials felt the laws changing while Sansara kept his eyes closed. That event continued for a few minutes. Finally, the laws returned to their normal state, and Sansara opened his eyes. "Let's not even talk about Hyeoumu anymore. He understood the peril we are in and, surprisingly, said that he would very much like to help. Unfortunately, it was his binding rules once again. He simply said he can not leave that place and can't tell why." "Wait!" Kentucky intervened. "Would he at least be strong enough to eliminate this thing? I mean, what if we all joined forces again, and this time, with Hyeoumu's help. Would that be possible?"

Kafan understood where Kentucky was coming from. "We can't destroy it, but is it impossible to move? Perhaps we can bring this thing to Hyeoumu instead."

"Hum..." Gragatou thought about the moment they attacked it from outside. "When we hit it with all our combined power together, it did indeed move several thousands of kilometers away before it finally stabilized. But... to bring it all the way to where Hyeoumu is located... I don't see such a thing being possible."

Rean and Romario, the two with the best knowledge of Formations due to the Circuitry Formations, also denied the idea. "If any of you are thinking about teleporting this thing away, give up already. It absorbs all energies, laws, and elements. To teleport or go through a Spatial Gate, it has to be enveloped in Spatial Power and Laws. Too bad they would instantly disappear the moment they get close to the Grape Vortex."

And just like that, the idea died before it took form.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in everyone's ears. "Look, look! They are struggling, they are struggling! Seriously, what would this Universe be without me?"

Everyone looked back, and saw a Spatial Gate appearing. From inside, two men came out.

Most of the experts there couldn't recognize them. However, those old enough and the twins group definitely did, especially the man on the left.

"Soul Gem!"
