Chapter 2779: What Is Wrong?
On the way back to the Realm of Gods, Rean had to ask Romario his reasons after they stopped for a moment. "Dad, why did you drag us like that?"
*Pah!*
Romario slapped Rean's back head, angry. "Why?! You even have the courage to ask why! You were just about to say you were going to help prepare the defenses against eh invaders, weren't you?"
Rean nodded, rubbing his head with a wronged expression. "Obviously! We can't just pretend nothing is happening."
Roan joined Romario there. "Idiot! Did you forget? The thing that could help protect the Chaos Origin Source the more at the moment is to repair the Foundation Pillar! We can't waste our time with the war. We need to do our part instead."
Romario agreed with Roan. "He is correct. We are going back to work on the Leviathans' Dimensional Realm swap."
"But..." Rean couldn't help but ask. "What about the invasion? What if things go out of control?"
"Then we were doomed to start with," Romario spoke bluntly. "Your group is strong compared to those at your level. It wouldn't be wrong to call you almost invincible in the Space-Time Realm. However, your contribution won't be of much use in the scale of battle that will take place from now on."
Rean sighed in response. "Fine... But we are still far from getting all Fragments. Besides, there is still one fragment we have no idea where to go to find."
"We will think about it once we gather the rest," Romario spoke. "For now, the system sect and its members will completely ignore the invasion. Everyone will work for the sake of the fragments and nothing more. Understood?"
Rean could only accept. "Alright."
Suddenly, another Spatial Gate opened, and from inside, a Leviathan appeared. It was Vancon, who caught up to them. "You could have waited for me, you know?"
Romario shrugged. "Why do you think we stopped here? We need you to recount
everything that happened back in the Leviathan Sacred Land. They will understand that things only got a lot more complicated."
Vancon sighed as he looked back in the direction he came from. "Grape Vortex, Celestial Realm, Vruves... There are so many things that I'm even feeling confused already."
Rean quickly spoke. "Senior Vancon, do you now understand why we need the fragment in the Leviathans' Dimensional Realm? Can you speak to them to help us find a way to get it? We need it to repair the Foundation Pillar."
"Not gonna happen." Vancon immediately refused. "We told you many times already. Even if we wanted to, we can't take it out from there. No one can. I know you are all working on something to try to take it away, but I can guarantee it won't work."
"That's why I'm asking for help," Romario spoke back. "Perhaps if we use the Leviathans' Bloodline, which is connected to it, it might work."
"As I said, not gonna happen," Vancon dismissed the request again. "Just try whatever you want to take it on your own. You don't need to worry, though. We will send our own experts out to help the Universe defend the Chaos Origin Source as we mentioned. You have my word on that."
Rean and Romario could only give up. Besides, they were pretty confident they could take it away once they swapped the Dimensional Realms. It's just that the Leviathans truly weren't aware of the power of the Circuitry Formation and especially the simulation ability of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. If they knew, Vancon and the others wouldn't be so confident. "Alright, let's not dwell. We all have things to do. Let's return," Romario quickly opened a Spatial Gate and left with everyone. Vancon used the same gate since Romario's Gates could connect much further away.
*Boom!*
Suddenly, the main Spaceship outside the Universe shook, causing all its inhabitants to tremble in fear. Just now, a shout that was powered by a huge amount of Divine Energy spread out in all directions. Even the other Spaceships in the surroundings heard it.
Inside the commanding center of the main Spaceship of the Garisan Universe, there was no commanding center anymore. Just now, Flavio exploded in anger, wiping out everything over ten kilometers around him.
He didn't kill anyone, though. When the crew noticed that the Grape Vortex was destroyed, they knew what would happen and immediately used the Spaceship systems to teleport far away from Flavio. In the end, all the damage was only material, carrying no life behind.
Once things calmed down, a few of Flavio's closest subordinates gathered their courage and teleported back to the now-gone commanding center. Seeing the extent of the damage, they knew it would probably take several days to put everything back in order.
Flavio was gasping in anger still, though. "Those fuckers! What the hell was that? How did they take control of the Grape Vortex and activate its self-destruction?! It is impossible, IMPOSSIBLE!"
One of the subordinates swallowed and spoke. "M-Master... Just before the explosion, I detected the use of the Garisan Universe Decoding Key."
"What did you say?!" Flavio immediately used his Divine Energy and pulled the subordinate by his neck. "How the hell does anyone in this piece of shit Universe have our Decoding Key? Only the main ship carries it."
The subordinate was terrified, but he didn't answer. All he did was look around at the other members of his group.
How could Flavio not understand his meaning? "Are you saying we have a traitor here? Someone passed our Decoding Key to the ants of that Universe?"
"I... I can't be certain... sir," the guy answered with difficulty. "However, I truly can't think of another explanation. Unless... there is someone in that Universe who is connected to the Garisan high echelon."
Flavio let the guy go and narrowed his eyes. He handpicked every single member of his group, and only they had the decoding key in the main Spaceship. He found it too hard to believe there was a traitor in their midst. But then again, it was even harder to believe anyone in the Lisan Universe had a connection with the high echelon of the Garisan Universe to acquire the Key either. Such a person would have a rank even higher than his own in Garisan. "What the fuck is wrong with this place?"
