Death... and me
chapter-2803

Hyeoumu didn't like what he heard. "I believe I already said that I'm using them to recover, didn't I? Are you trying to piss off on purpose? Just get out of here."

Rean couldn't really give up, though. "Senior, we know that what we ask is too much. However, as you know, the Universe Foundation Fragments are necessary to repair the Foundation Pillar. Unfortunately, two of them are being used to power the Underworld Relic and the Heavens Gyroscope. We will never convince the Devils and Angels to hand the Fragments over since the Fragments are the only things capable of powering those treasures."

Hyeoumu went silent for a moment before deciding to ask. "Let's assume that I'm willing to give the Fragments to you. How many of them are you still lacking?"

The twins answered truthfully. "We already have nine of them in our possession. You probably remember when you mentioned the Hustis Continent Fragment as well. At the moment, we are working to acquire that one and it shouldn't be long to have it in our hands. That would be our tenth Fragment."

Hyeoumu was surprised to hear that. "There are fourteen of them in total. The Underworld Relic and the Heavens Gyroscope have one each. Yet, you asked for three of my Fragments. So you know where you can find another one, right?"

Rean nodded. "Yes. Turen used that Fragment to negotiate with the Devils. At the moment, the Devils have a Fragment in the Underworld Relic and another Fragment that we don't know what they are using for. We intend to use the third Fragment to trade for that Fragment as well. Foreign Universe Foundation Fragments are pretty much the same as the Fragments from our own Foundation. They shouldn't have a reason to refuse."

Hyeoumu pondered a bit and spoke. "To be honest, the reason I took the Foreign Fragments inside my body wasn't really because I wanted to use them to heal

myself. They wouldn't make much of a difference in that. The real reason I took them is because Foreign Universe Foundation Fragments are harmful to our Universe."

Rean and Roan knew that. Kafan was entrusted to get rid of the Fragment back on the Loporrits Planet for this very reason. There is a reason why the Fragments are confined inside the Spaceships. It is so that they wouldn't cause more trouble for their own users than help. Nonetheless, the twins weren't concerned. "There is no need to worry, senior Hyeoumu. They only cause trouble because our Universe is damaged. Once we repair the Foundation Pillar, the Foreign Fragments naturally won't be a problem anymore."

"You seem to be forgetting a very important detail," Hyeoumu wasn't convinced. "Let's pretend everything goes smoothly and you acquire all three Fragments. That would leave you with thirteen Fragments to use in the repair of the Foundation Pillar. That is not enough. You said it before. You need all fourteen, don't you? Where is the last one?"

"This..." The twins went silent this time. That was something they had been investigating for a very long time. However, they still didn't know where to find the last Fragment.

Hyeoumu continued. "I told you about the two Fragments in the Realm of Gods because the Realm of Gods is me. I can feel everything that happens on my back. Such powerful items like the Fragments were pretty easy to locate on my back. However, I can't tell you where the last one is because it is not located in the Realm of Gods, my back."

Roan took the reins to speak. "We won't lie. We don't know where is the last Fragment. However, this is the closest this Universe ever got to be fixed. We managed to gather nine of them, the tenth one is on the way. If things go as planned, we might even get another three soon. Shouldn't you put at least a little bit of faith in us after everything?"

Hyeoumu narrowed his enormous eyes.

"We will find it," Roan didn't stop, though. "You trusted us before... Well, you trusted Soul Gem, to be more specific. But we did not betray this trust. We truly managed to gather a lot of the Fragments and get closer than ever to success. I ask you again; trust us a little more. We deserve this much."

Hyeoumu looked straight at Roan and then at Rean. After a few moments, he closed his eyes and went silent for a while. The twins didn't say anything, only waited to see what Hyeoumu would do. Finally, Hyeoumu opened his eyes again and opened his mouth.

From inside his body, three Black and White items came out. Following that, Spatial Laws and Power enveloped the items and teleported them all the way to where the twins were waiting.

Rean and Roan looked at each other and nodded before bowing to Hyeoumu. "Thank you, senior. We won't disappoint you."

Hyeoumu ignored that and spoke something else. "The Underworld."

"The... Underworld?" The twins were confused.

"The last Fragment might be in the Underworld," Hyeoumu spoke. "Don't ask me where or who in the Underworld has it, though. As I told you, I don't know where it is. I can't feel anything in there. You will have to look for it on your own."

The twins were surprised, but Hyeoumu threw a bucket of cold water on their heads right after. "However, it has truly been a very long time. I can't give you any guarantees that it is still there. As far as I'm concerned, it might have already left the Underworld. Who knows? Perhaps it was taken away from the Universe altogether."

The twins didn't mind, though. "Just this little clue is more than we could possibly expect." Rean looked at Roan. "Are you thinking the same thing as me?"

Roan nodded. "A very long time ago, right? The Semi-Celestials Realm Devils don't have it, nor do the Divinity Realm Devils. It fits."

At that moment, the image of a soul that looked more like a fly appeared in their minds.
