Death... and me
chapter-2829

"Does that mean we went in circles?" Beelzebub narrowed his eyes.

However, Roan instantly shook his head. "No, we haven't."

"How do you know?" Beelzebub asked back. "We have been using teleportations all this time. Could it be you can tell which direction these runes are teleporting us?"

"Not really..." Roan didn't elaborate, but his voice held a firm certainty. "You just need to know that we definitely haven't gone full circle. That's certain."

Beelzebub had his doubts, but he decided to believe Roan's words for now.

The reason Roan could tell they were not going in circles was basically his connection with Rean. Regardless of where he went, that connection was always there. That helped Roan more or less map out the rooms he had been to so far. There was no doubt they hadn't gone in circles. Instead, by trial and error, Roan managed to move in an almost straight line.

"If we haven't gone full circle, but we are back to a room we had been before..." Beelzebub noticed the problem.

"Yes," Roan confirmed Beelzebub's suspicions. "It wasn't us who went back to where we were. It's the rooms that are moving to different positions."

"This shit is becoming more and more annoying," Beelzebub cursed.

If the rooms were moving and they returned to a room they were before, chances are they will never find an exit since the rooms themselves are moving to new positions.

However, Roan saw this fact as a plus to their situation. "That is good. Since the rooms are repositioning themselves as we move forward, that means we are truly making progress. Besides, the number of rooms is limited, which means this facility, or whatever it is, has a finite size."

"So what?" Beelzebub didn't see much of an advantage. "We kept teleporting to different rooms millions of times until we finally got to a repeated one. How many of these things are here? Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions? Billion perhaps? And I can't break a single one of them. Every single one is extremely thick and resistant."

Roan then sat on the floor and smiled. "Since it has a finite size and a finite number of rooms, then we don't need to do anything anymore. All we need to do is wait."

"How come?" Beelzebub got confused. He couldn't see how sitting and waiting would make any difference.

Roan laid back on the wall and closed his eyes. "Rean will eventually enter the black hole and end up in this same place. When that happens, we can break the formation that is operating this thing."

"A formation?" Beelzebub looked at the runes. "Well, it makes sense it is a formation, but what does it have to do with Rean's presence? First of all, I highly doubt Rean will be teleported to the same room as we are at the moment. We might never find each other." "Don't worry, we don't need to find each other. Just sit down and relax. As you said before, this place isn't a risk for us anyway," Roan explained and then went silent.

"Nothing yet?" Kafan asked Rean outside.

Rean was still outside the Black Hole, inside the Reincarnation Path. During the past few days, he went out a few times to talk to Kafan, who was watching the area. Rean and Roan had agreed beforehand that if Roan didn't return, Rean would wait for the system to finish its upgrade and then enter the Black Hole as well.

"From what I can feel through our Soul Connection, he is fine. However, he seems to be trapped since he hasn't moved much," Rean answered. "It's fine. Once the Upgrade is over, I will enter the Black Hole to take a look."

Kafan understood and nodded.

Why wait for the system upgrade? Because the system's abilities would once again become available. Not only that, Sister Orb would be able to talk, too. Regardless of how far Rean and Roan were, she always could talk to the two. That means Rean and Roan would have a conversation through her.

There were two things in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm that could help Roan in his situation. The first one was the Circuitry Teleport Formation. That one could teleport the twins a thousand kilometers of distance. Roan had no intention of using it, though. After all, if there were any type of Spatial interference in the teleportation, they would actually be teleported to some random corner of the Universe... Well, Roan wasn't certain if he was still inside Lisan Universe, but the rule was still the same. They would still be teleported to some random place very far away, so it might be even worse.

The other thing that could help Roan was obviously Sister Orb. She could hack into formations and take control of them. As long as the formation level wasn't too high, of course. Legendary Level Formations, for example, were still out of Sister Orb's and the system's league.

Well, Roan's plan relied on something other than the Teleport Formation or the system ability Sister Orb uses to hack into other Formations. Instead, it relied solely on the Soul Connection between the twins.

*Pin!*

On both sides, Rean and Roan suddenly heard the system sound.

[Integration Status: 100%]

[Integration Complete.]

The part of the system that was found inside the Fragment was finally integrated into the

Control Orb. With that, the system quickly reactivated.

[For Fuck's Sake! This thing is finally allowing me to communicate again!]

And with that, a very angry Sister Orb screamed inside the twins' minds.

Rean faintly smiled and asked. 'You can talk about that another time. Sister Orb, how is Roan?'

'I'm here,' Roan answered straight away, using Sister Orb as a bridge between the two.

[Wow! You truly got into quite a funny place, Roan.]

Rean sighed in relief. 'That's good. What is happening on your side?'

Roan then proceeded to explain the events up to this point and made his request at the end.

'Now, I need you to come here to help me break this thing.'

Rean instantly understood Roan's plan. 'Alright, I'm going in.'
