Death... and me

chapter-2832
The three of them quickly went through the Spatial Gate, now appearing in an open space. Beelzebub looked around and soon found a giant construction behind him. The twins did the
same.
The construction changed shape fast, as countless tiny square-like chambers shot into the distance and started to assemble into a single enormous cube of thousands of kilometers in size. Without a doubt, that place was where they had been locked all this time.
"Quite a weird thing. Even now, I can't tell what kind of formation that is..." Rean commented. "I mean, it is obviously some kind of test or trapping formation. But I don't know how it works."
Beelzebub ignored that. "Who cares? I don't wanna see that shit anymore. Now, look over there."The twins turned around and paid attention to the location Beelzebub was pointing at. "Hum? What is that?"
Far in the distance, there was a Spatial Distortion that made it hard to see the environment around. Everything seemed blurry, and even their Divine Senses didn't seem to be able to pass through that interference.
"The Fragment, perhaps?" Rean wondered.
Roan looked behind once again, seeing the Cube. "I thought the Fragment would be the core of that construction. Were we wrong?"
*Zush!*
Suddenly, another person appeared outside. "Did you call, Father?" It was Luan. Different from the Reincarnation Path, this place didn't have any effect on the soul. Naturally, they could use Luan to take a look with his eyes in that case.
"Take a look at the cube behind us and then that Spatial Distortion on the other side. Tell us what you can see," Roan asked.Beelzebub looked at Luan and remembered him. he had seen Luan before. "The Sacred Eyes brat, uh? He might be of some use indeed."
Luan ignored Beelzebub and changed his view to the Elemental World. First, he took a look at the cube. "Such a weird structure. The Elements and Energies seem to be able to run through each of the tiny chambers that make that giant cube freely. I can see countless tiny Spatial Spots, too. Those are probably the Spatial Runes you found in each of the rooms. Is that a Formation, Uncle Rean?"
Rean shrugged. "I wish I knew it. I think it is."
"That's weird, then," Luan commented.
"Why?" Rean and the others got curious.
"All formations I've seen with my eyes always had a Core. At the very least, they had some energy source. However, that Cube doesn't have it. No, to be more specific, the entire structure is a Core and an Energy Source in itself," Luan explained. "However, it does have a powerful Spatial Rune that seems to be connected to all the small runes in the structure. It's just that it is definitely not a Core or an Energy Source."
"Really?" Rean was surprised to hear that. He thought about it for a moment and reached a conclusion. "Then it is probably not a formation."
Beelzebub and Roan's attention were picked. "How come?"
"It's just like Luan said. There doesn't seem to be a Core or source of energy," Rean explained. "If the entire structure is its own Core and Energy Source, then I find it hard to believe it is a Formation. Of course, I might be wrong. If I try, I think I can make a formation with a similar characteristic. It's just that it wouldn't be an efficient method. Simply put, it would waste too much energy."
Roan understood what Rean meant. "It is not a Formation but a treasure instead. Is that right?"
"Yes," Rean nodded. "If I were to guess, I would bet it is some kind of treasure. The only doubt is how it ended in such a place."
Roan pondered for a moment and then took his White Star Scythe. Without thinking twice, he used all his power and attacked the outside of the structure. Sky Energy, Body Cultivation, Weapon Aura, Elements, Laws, you name it!
'Death Style, Death Scythe!'
*Slash!*
*Bzzzzzzz!*
*Bang!*
And yet, not only did Roan fail to cause any damage, he was instantly bounced back by some kind of force field that barely even moved.
Roan already comprehended all his Sub Laws of Light and Darkness. He is at the Peak Stage of the Space-Time Realm as well. When you put all his abilities together, his Death Scythe skill definitely can rival a Middle or even a Late Stage Divinity Realm expert. Not only that, but Rean's White Star Scythe was definitely better than most weapons in this Universe, which only made Roan's attack even stronger.
Nonetheless, he couldn't even touch the structure. If all of that was not enough to get even close to the structure, you could be sure that even Semi-Celestials would have a very hard time causing any damage to it. After all, you would need to get past the force field and still deal with the structure itself.
"The chambers themselves were already extremely resistant, and now this thing," Roan spoke, putting his White Star Scythe away. "I think it is quite obvious."
Rean understood. "Yes. This is definitely a Legendary Level Treasure... or Formation. I still can't discard the possibility of it being a type of Formation I haven't seen before. Well, as I said, I'm pretty sure it is a treasure, though."
"Not that," Roan commented. "What I mean is that I don't believe this is something from our Universe."
"Like the Underworld Relic and the Heaven's Gyroscope?" Rean asked back. But then, he looked back at the cube and nodded in agreement. "Indeed. It doesn't seem like something anyone would be able to build in our Universe. Perhaps the Vruves would, but I highly doubt they would leave such a thing here for no reason."
Roan decided to ignore that for the moment. "Since we can't touch it, let's focus on the distortion. Luan, take a look there and tell me what you can see."
Luan nodded, and his eyes focused. They had to verify if it was the Fragment they were looking for.
