Death... and me

Chapter 2248 Not An Option



Chapter 2248 Not An Option

Jeskli was taken aback. He couldn't even make the Cubic Light Barrier tremble. How was Rean going to take it down? "Are you sure? Is it even possible?"

Rean nodded. "Yes." He then approached the formation and took several items out, placing them near the Light Cubic Barrier. Well, truth be told, that was just a pretense while Sister Orb did the real work. "Since he gave us a few days, that will be enough. Senior Jeskli, get ready. I think I can take it down in at most a day."

Jeskli didn't care how Rean did it as long as he did. "If you say so, I'm going to recover."

Roan immediately touched Jeskli before using Rean's healing skill.

'Life Style, Instant Recovery!'

Jeskli's injuries began to close at a fast speed, much to Jeskli's surprise. It wasn't as fast as it would be in the twins since the difference in cultivation was quite big. Nonetheless, Roan could definitely fully heal Jeskli in just a few minutes. "Just focus on recovering your Divine Origin Energy. Your injuries, feather blades, and scales, I will fix myself."

Jeskli nodded and completely gave up treating his injuries. Instead, his whole focus went into converging Divine Energy into Divine Origin Energy.

At the same time, Rean explained a few things to him. "Senior Jeskli, you will see a formation inside the Light Cubic Barrier that is stealing the Golden and Silver Power of Time and Space from its source. I believe this source to be one of the Fragments of the Universe Foundation. After all, even an Archangel had to go and use this roundabout method to get access to it."

"A fragment, uh?" Sure enough, Jeskli knew that it was a possibility. "I've only seen one of those a long, long time ago. But everyone always thought the Islands' Environment might be due to one of them. I guess your words confirm it."

Ran agreed with him. "Indeed. Anyway, what you need to pay attention to is that this formation has already taken a lot of the Sphere's Power. It will still take many days for it to completely open the way for the Archangel to take the Fragment, though. Nonetheless, the formation has already absorbed way too much of its power. If you destroy the formation, we are definitely doomed."

"Also, it should be pretty clear that the reason we said the Floating Islands of Time might disappear is that it is connected to the Fragment. If the Fragment is taken away, this territory will lose its support with the changed space and time. The result will be a ridiculously gigantic Spatial Rift that will swallow the entire Floating Islands of Time... or so I believe."

Jeskli took a deep breath. By now, he didn't doubt that anymore. "So I have to stop the Archangel without damaging the formation and before he can take the Fragment away."

"That's correct. As for how you will do it, we don't know. We are just too much weaker than an Archangel, after all. There is little we can do with our power," Rean explained.

Jeskli shrugged his shoulders. "There isn't much I can do it. All I can try is to fight the Archangel and get rid of him." Jeskli then glanced at Roan on his side. "What about you? Aren't you here for the Fragment as well?"

Roan didn't try to deny it. "We are. However, if it means the destruction of the Floating Islands of Time, we will not take it away. Instead, we will find some other way to make up for the Fragments Removal without killing everyone."

"Hahahaha!" Jeskli laughed in response. "Do you think you can find some replacement for the power of a Fragment of the Universe Foundation? It is ridiculous!"

Roan nodded. "I agree. That's why it isn't guaranteed. We will see what we can do first. If it is not possible, we won't remove the Fragment. It's that simple."

"And you think I will trust you?" Jeskli asked back.

Kentucky quickly patted Jeskli. "Even if you don't believe them, you can believe me. I've been living with them since I was born, so I can guarantee. They will never do something that could truly put all the Minokawas lives at risk unless there is absolutely no other choice."

Jeskli narrowed his eyes. "You forgot one thing. Why exactly should I believe you too? It's not like we have known each other for that long."

"This..." Kentucky didn't know what to say.

Surprisingly, though, Lily-Yu covered for him. "It should be fine, senior Jeskli. I think we can trust the Regal Minokawa."

Kentucky looked at her in shock. "Are you truly fine with that?"

Lily nodded. "Simply put, you are too stupid to think about something like that."

A few veins popped on Kentucky's head. "I have no need for such trust."

Roan thought differently, though. "But we do, so just accept the reality."

Poor Kentucky felt like crying already. "Fuck you all! I'm not gonna help anymore. Do whatever you want!" He then went to a corner and sat down, ignoring everyone.

Jeskli obviously had his doubts still. Nonetheless, it is true that the Islands would have been destroyed had the twins not come here and warned him. He didn't even know an Archangel had got inside, after all. "It seems I don't have much of a choice. However, how do you expect to stop that formation? I know absolutely nothing about them. If you hadn't told me that I can't destroy it, that would have been the very first thing I would have done."

'Sister Orb, can you take control over that formation?' Rean asked Sister Orb straight away.

[That formation is above the Divine Level. No doubt it is a Legendary Level Formation. Not to mention it was made by someone from outside this Universe, so there are many points I don't understand about it. Your father was part of the crew that stole Chaos Origin Sources from other Universes, so that formation is the culmination of experts that worked with that kind of job. It is not impossible, but it is not something I can do with just a day. We are talking about several weeks or even more here.]

Rean narrowed his eyes. That obviously wasn't an option.
