Chapter 2796: Horrible Taste
Everyone in the room prepared to teleport away, expecting Flavio to destroy the bridge once more. However, contrary to their expectations, Flavio was silent. "Get the ships out of the Universe. Abandon all fronts. I want all remaining vessels out of there." Flavio narrowed his eyes. After this crushing defeat, he felt like things were too weird. The way this Universe was able to cause so much damage to them, even though it was so undeveloped technologically, gave him a lot to think about.
"Understood!" The experts in the room quickly went to work as they sighed in relief.
"T-This..." Suddenly, someone spoke in a shocked tone.
Flavio looked at the guy. "What is it?"
"The vessels and the Semi-Celestials we sent to deal with that giant creature supporting the Realm of Gods... I can't contact them anymore." The guy explained.
"What?!" Everyone was taken aback. From the previous reports, Hyeoumu was alone against four Semi-Celestials led by Horan, a Devil from Garisan.
The Realm of Gods had to spread its Semi-Celesitals thin to deal with their forces, and even though they offered Hyeoumu some help, Hyeoumu insisted he didn't need it. In a certain way, the battle in the Foundation Pillar went this well because the Realm of Gods had a little more Semi-Celestials to spare.
The people there looked at Flavio, waiting for his response. If Flavio went all out, he would be able to force his Divine Sense into the Lisan Universe and check the situation of those experts. Perhaps he could even help them by performing another attack like the one he did back in the Grape Vortex.
Flavio thought about using his power to attack Hyeoumu. After all, Hyeoumu was so big that he supported the entire Realm of Gods on his back. There was no way he could avoid Flavio's attack. However, Flavio gave up that idea as soon as it appeared in his mind. If he could enter the Universe, he definitely would do it. Unfortunately, his power would be severely limited because he can only attack from outside. Simply put, Flavio would never be able to deliver enough power to kill something as big as Hyeoumu. He wouldn't even be able to cause any serious damage to start with. Hyeoumu was just too large.
Nonetheless, he needed to check what was wrong with Horan and the others who
were fighting the big turtle. He immediately got up and unsheathed his sword, preparing to act. However, just as he was about to spread his Divine Sense, four messages popped on the main screens.
-Hora's Soul Flame has been extinguished.-
-Cabisrei's Soul Flame has been extinguished.-
-Xon'Wertal's Soul Flame has been extinguished.-
-Paloma's Soul Flame has been extinguished.-
Four Semi-Celestials! All of them were fighting Hyeoumu! And all of them died at the same time!
"Impossible!" Flavio's mouth opened wide. "How can four Semi-Celesitals die like this?!" Other than the messages regarding the Semi-Celestials, many more messages from Divinity Realm and Space-Time Realm experts dying where Hyeoumu fought appeared. It's just that their ones weren't as important. From the looks of it, all the fifteen vessels that had been sent there had been completely wiped out.
Back inside Lisan Universe, the armies in the Foundation Pillars attacked the vessels in the distance. The more they destroyed, the smaller would be the trouble later on. However, those vessels were indeed powerful. Over forty gigantic Spatial Gates appeared as soon s the armies had been teleported back into them. The Spatial Displacement they were causing was so great that getting close to them while they were about to leave became very dangerous.
In the end, only the Divinity Realm and Semi-Celestials were able to get close enough to the vessels to attack them directly. That ended with them managing to take down another two. Unfortunately, the Garisan Forces knew better than to leave the main power source of those ships behind. Their Semi-Celestials took away the Foreign Universe Foundation Fragments both ships had as they retreated. As for the rest of the Spaceships, they traversed the Spatial Gates, disappearing from the Lisan Universe completely.
"Should we follow?" Jundonis asked, watching the Spatial Gates that were still closing up.
"No," Kafan immediately denied. "They are probably going out of our Universe. And outside... we have that Celestial Realm expert. We would just be delivering our heads in a silver plate to him."
Everyone nodded and watched as the gigantic Spatial Gates closed one after another.
Soul Gem appeared near the Semi-Celestials. "We can't waste time. I'm still worried about Hyeoumu, who was left alone. We need to go back to give him support. His situation should be the most dire one."
"We will go," Gragatou spoke. "Soul Gem, take all the Formations Masters and sweep the battlefield. There are countless of those system armors like the ones Rean made for us or the ones the Vruves use. We can't let them go to waste. Also, even though their Spaceships were destroyed, there should be plenty of good things inside. You are the best suited to gather and distribute everything."
Kilindou agreed with Gragatou. "That's the best choice. Let's keep one Semi-Celestial from the Underworld, Heavens, and Realm of Gods to watch over the distribution, too. Everyone agrees?"
No one had any complaints. A moment later, Gragatou left with the rest of the Semi- Celestials while Soul Gem stayed behind. His eyes lit up, already knowing what to expect to find in the destroyed Spaceships. "Divine Origin Energy Cores... There should be so many of them. This is definitely going to be a great boost to our Universe."
Kafan also stayed behind since he could be said to be the only representative of the other half of the Universe. "Gem, the Vruves didn't show their heads until the very end..."
Naya'il, Sofrixa, and Kilindou were there too. "Right! Could it be..."
Soul Gem understood what they meant. "I don't know what they are thinking, but it
is definitely not good. Have our forces keep a close watch on the Foundation Pillar. They
will not be able to touch the Chaos Origin Source without coming in here."
"Very well..." The orders were quickly passed, and tens of thousands of high-level experts were sent out.
*Zush, zush, zush...*
Back just outside the Realm of Gods, a few Spatial Gates suddenly appeared. From inside, Gragatou and the others came out just in time to see Hyeoumu's monumental mouth closing. Inside it, fifteen spaceships could be seen being chewed like they were just some food... although extremely small in his mouth, for Hyeoumu to enjoy.
"Bleh... Horrible taste!"
