Death... and me
chapter-2808

There was one thing that might have been a problem. How would they separate the Fragment from the Core? If the Core could even resist the destruction of a Dimensional Realm, then acquiring the Fragment inside wouldn't be easy. It wasn't like the Purple Crystal that could be absorbed.

However, there was indeed a kind of force that would definitely succeed in extracting the Fragment from the Core. Obviously, it was the presence of other Fragments. To be more specific, nine Fragments that were now part of the Foundation Pillar inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. The pulling force that they will exert on the Fragment inside the Core would be no joke.

That's why Sister Orb opened just a tiny, tiny path into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. That path was way too small for the entire Core to pass through. The Fragment would be pulled from within the core since it was the only thing small enough to go through the passage.

*Bang!*

The Core immediately smashed against the fabric of space, causing even cracks to appear. However, Romario had made the Space-Sealing Formation himself. The cracks instantly healed as if they had never existed before.

The Core tried to go through the small opening, but it couldn't get through. The forces applied in that place were so big that it caused the land to tremble once again.

As Olvris watched that, he understood Rean and Romario's plan. Nonetheless, he grew nervous. "If you extract the Fragment like that, the Core might break apart!"

However, in the very next second, Rean activated another Formation. Instantly, tens of thousands of tiny runes floated and attached to the Core itself. "I already expected such an outcome. I know how important the Core is for your Leviathan race, so how could I let it break?"

The Core, which was trembling nonstop, seemed to stabilize. Nonetheless, Rean bitterly smiled. To sustain such a powerful item, he obviously had to use more Divine Origin Energy Cores. And it was using even more of them than when the Dimensional Realm exploded.

*Crick, crick, crick...*

Rean's efforts paid off, though. Little by little, the Fragment drilled its way out of the Core. However, the Core's structure continued intact, being supported by the formation. Thousands of Divine Origin Energy Cores were being consumed, but they truly did their job.

*Pak!*

Finally, a tiny hole suddenly appeared in the Core, created by the Fragment that shot out like a bullet. The Fragment instantly disappeared into the passage. All the formations then turned off, the the Leviathan Race Treasure fell to the ground. The Core was pretty much intact, except for the tiny hole the Fragment inside drilled.

Olvris quickly stepped forward and grabbed the Core, ignoring everything else. His senses entered it, and sure enough, he could feel the connection with his bloodline, sighing in relief. "It really is our treasure..."

He looked back but noticed that Rean was already gone. Only Romario remained outside. "Where did he go?"

"He needs to check the Fragment in his Pocket Dimensional Realm," said Romario as he patted Olvris's shoulder. "Your Leviathan Race always had this treasure, but you never had the chance to touch it. It was sealed inside the Dimensional Realm, forcing you all to live in this land you call sacred."

"Well, not anymore. The Core is now free from the Dimensional Realm, and the effects on your bloodline should be pretty much the same. Talk to the other Leviathans and think about what you will do in the future. You can keep living here, or you can go somewhere else since you can bring the Core with you now. Your possibilities are unlimited," Romario concluded. "This..." Olvris was taken aback. The Leviathans always called this Dimensional Realm their Sacred Land, but that was only because the Core was there, and they couldn't remove it. One could say they called it sacred as a way to avert their attention to the truth. They were confined here. They would never admit that, though. Now, however, that was not necessary anymore. "I need to go. You guys stay around. I'm still not sure if the Core will work without that Fragment you removed from it. For your own good, I hope nothing changes."

Romario was extremely confident. "Hahaha! That's no problem at all. We will need a few days to organize our own things here anyway. Go ahead. I'm sure you have a lot to discuss with the others. The Leviathans outside will probably come flying when they hear about it, too." Olvris nodded and immediately left. Yet, he couldn't hide the excitement he felt as a smile appeared on his face. That was a huge turning point to his Leviathan Race.

Romario then disappeared from the room with the other Formations Masters. They were all brought inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm by Sister Orb.

In the middle of the void, Rean, Roan, and everyone else looked at the Fragment they had just extracted. The same process as before happened, and soon, they all saw one of the five remaining cracks on the pillar, repairing itself with the help of the spheres of Black and White Light.

Rean was especially happy. "Finally, this work is over."

Droman and the other Formations Masters agreed. "That was definitely our biggest project so far."

"Not mine," Havek spoke. "I worked on the communication system, after all. It is all over the Realm of Gods. Hahaha!"

Rean shrugged. That was Havek for you. "Dad... I mean, the Angel Dad, how did Olvris react?" "Hahaha!" Romario laughed. Both he and Turen were there, so it wasn't wrong to say Rean had two dads at the moment. "He acted tough, saying that the Core must be okay or we will pay for it. However, he failed completely to hide his real thoughts. He seemed extremely excited that he could now move around with the treasure of their Leviathan Race."

Rean nodded, feeling happy for them as well.

Roan ignored all that, though. He only cared about one thing. Or, to be more specific, he was expecting a sound to appear in his mind.

*Pin!*

[Congratulations, Hosts!]

Sure enough, the Soul Gem System recognized the new Fragment they obtained.
