Death... and me
chapter-2850

The clouds in the sky over the tens of thousands of kilometers began to slowly dissipate. It seemed like the last four bolts of lightning were all it could do, and now it had completely spent itself. All that looming presence of death disappeared, causing the Semi-Celestials watching sigh in relief. That was truly a very displeasing feel.

Their eyes then returned to the twins' group in the distance. They were all silent as sparks of those colored sparks of lightning ran through their bodies. They were Semi-Celestials. In their attempt to reach and fail to enter the Celestial Realm, they all felt a connection with those laws. One could imagine how enticing those laws felt to them.

However, none of the Semi-Celestials had any intention of trying to take the Celestial Laws away from the twins' group. After all, laws were things one comprehends in their own way. The Celestial Laws they were feeling were of no use to them. They exist for Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky. No one else will be able to use them. If anything, they might damage themselves if they try such a thing.

Also...the Semi-Celesitals didn't know if Rean and the others were going to survive. Those laws, even though meant for them to use and absorb, seemed to be destroying their bodies and even their souls.

Silence took the area as no one moved. Everyone had many questions, but they had to wait. The Semi-Celestials from the Realm of Gods even kept an eye on the Vruves. Who knows if they would try something. Leadrno had no intention of intervening, though. He, too, is someone who wishes to reach the Celestial Realm one day. Perhaps the twins' group insights might be of some use to him.

An hour passed as the twins' group struggled between Life and Death. However, it was then that everyone felt a burst of Divine Origin Energy coming from their bodies. At the same time, everyone's Divine Senses felt the cultivations from Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis finally stabilizing in the Initial Stage of the Divinity Realm.

"Seems like they are done..." Kafan commented with a relieved face.

Rean was the first one to come back to himself and check his state. "How am I still alive...? I'll think about it later."

'Life Style, Instant Recovery!'

Immediately, flesh began to grow, and the bones mend. The skeleton he had become in the last bolt of lightning quickly disappeared. There was a difference this time, though. Usually, such a grievous state would require one of Roan's nutrient pills. Yet, Rean's Light Laws reached a completely new level. He regrew his body completely without the need for the aid of the pills.

Roan was the next one to recover his attention and narrowed his eyes. "Too close for -comfort..."

He also used Rean's Instant Recovery skill and began to regrow his flesh. At the same time, a robe covered his body as his previous clothes were gone.

"Ah!" Rean immediately noticed something. "Fuck! I completely forgot!"

Rean touched his body and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "My system armor... My poor

system armor. Every single rune has been burnt to a crisp..."

"Arrghh!!! This hurts as fuck!" Kentucky suddenly complained on the side. He looked nothing more than an undead skeleton bird at the moment.

Rean touched his bones and sighed. "Focus on regrowing your body. I'll help."

The two worked together and helped recover Kentucky's body. Still, Kentucky used all his Regal Bloodline in the first three Lightning Strikes. He would need several months to recover his bloodline after that... or so he thought. "Hum? It seems like I can also recover my bloodline now with these new Light Laws. This is quite overpowered..."

Finally, Celis also woke up. "I've never thought I would look like a piece of charcoal in my life." Celis's body was nothing but a piece of dark trunk at the moment. The gigantic World Swallowing Cedar was nowhere to be seen.

However, a powerful absorption power spread in the surroundings as all the devilish energy of the environment rushed into Celis's Core. He already reached a point where the type of energy didn't matter anymore. As long as it was a byproduct of Chaos Energy, he could absorb and use it.

Roan helped him as well with Rean's Instant Recovery. Celis had wood element affinity, which was very good for healing Demon Plants like him. Yet, it still wasn't as good as Light Element.

Finally, their group finished recovering and decided to pay attention to the situation. "Seems like we attracted quite a big crowd..." Rean commented. He recognized all the Semi- Celestials in the surroundings.

Kafan was obviously the first one to approach, just in case he had to act against anyone. "How are you?"

"We are fine," Roan answered.

The other Semi-Celestials approached as well. Their doubts were obvious to the twins. Leandro, keeping a certain distance to not cause trouble, was the first one to voice his questions. "Were those Celestial Laws you absorbed a moment ago?"

There wasn't a reason to lie in front of the Semi-Celestials, so Rean simply nodded. "Seems like it was. I've never felt them before, but I just can tell that they are Celestial Laws."

"How did you call those clouds?" Black Locust was more interested in the clouds, though. Since the clouds seemed to be the reason for the Celestial Laws, then what mattered was to be able to call them again.

However, Rean and the others just shook their heads. "We truly don't understand how they came to be. We don't know where they came from, either. Roan, Kentucky, Celis, and I were simply trying to break through into the Divinity Realm."

Roan agreed with him. "He is telling the truth. Once we finally managed to get past the bottleneck, everything stopped. Our cultivations got stuck in between the Space-Time Realm and the Divinity Realm. It was at this moment we noticed these clouds approaching."

"There was one thing, though," Kentucky added. "We are certain this cloud came from outside the Universe."

Everyone went silent for a moment. They knew Kentucky wasn't lying since they all felt when the clouds entered the Universe. Still, there was much to be investigated.
