Death... and me



Romario narrowed his eyes as he looked at the formation behind Rean. He didn't expect that his past would be absorbed by the Fragment. However, it made sense he did spend several years building the formation. That also explains how he got inside the Central Area of the Floating Islands of Time. He came from an even more advanced origin, so using the communication system's towers to guide himself wasn't anything that hard.

"Sigh... I would say even more. This Universe had no intelligent life when we arrived to take its Chaos Source. The origin of the intelligent races, including humans, was due to those who escaped the Spaceship. However, it has been so long in the past that none of the races remember it anymore. Naturally, the Angel Races are also included. I'm much older than you can think."

Rean couldn't help but ask. "Why? Why would you sabotage the Spaceship you came with?"

"I couldn't watch it," Romario answered. "That Spaceship had already robbed so many Universes of their Chaos Origin Sources. Although this one had no Intelligent Life, it still had other species. It was starting to develop. However, the sabotage didn't start here. I've been working on the Spaceship for thousands of years. It took me this long to set up all the measures to sabotage a ship of that size."

"It just so happened that when we were in this Universe, my plan was finally concluded," Romario explained. "You have no idea just how expensive and difficult it is to build a ship like that, a ship capable of moving a Chaos Origin Source. Not to mention time. Even with all the technology my Universe had in its hands, building a ship like that takes millions of years. Sabotaging it was bound to save many other Universes in the future, so I did it."

Rean was about to continue asking when suddenly, Jeskli's voice echoed in his mind from the communication badge. 'Are you done yet? If not, I'm going in!'

Rean bitterly smiled before looking at his father. "Can we go out and talk about it? Senior Jeskli is about to attack the Light Barrier. However, if you are with me, we can avoid this meaningless fight."

Romario shook his head. "We can't avoid it. I must have the Fragment to set my plans in motion. Only this one has the necessary Spatial and Time Powers required. It far surpasses the other Fragments." Romario then warned Rean. "Go and leave this place. I will wait a few days until you clean up the Floating Islands of Time of all Minokawas and other races."

Rean couldn't let that happen. "No! If that's the case, I'll let Senior Jeskli attack as he wishes."

*Zush!*

Romario then pointed his Spear at Rean as a determined expression appeared on his face. "Rean, you are my child, so I'm giving you a chance. Leave now, and don't meddle with this Fragment anymore. Even if you are my flesh and blood, or not quite, since it is obvious you reincarnated in a new body, I will not hold back and eliminate you."

Roan's voice also echoed in Rean's mind as he looked at Romario's face. 'He is not lying. His determination tells me he will definitely kill you if you get in the way.'

Rean shook his head. "So that's it? You are going to send me away and won't explain anything? What happened to mother? Was she also from another Universe? How come you tried to take control of the Angel Race? What do you plan to do with this Fragment? Was it because your Soul Worms were dealt with? There are too many things I want to know!"

Romario faintly smiled before his Spatial Powers enveloped Rean. Rean couldn't do anything since the difference in cultivation was too big. Before he had the chance to say anything, Romario threw him out of the Cubic Light Barrier. At the same time, he sent Rean a Divine Sense Message. 'Stop meddling. Leave it to your father. I will fix everything.'

*Zush!*

Rean then stabled outside, being forced to use his powers to stop his body. He looked behind, and a dark expression appeared on his face as he cursed out loud. "Fuck you! Do you think I will just let you destroy this place? Also, you better explain everything!"

Immediately, Rean rushed back into the Cubic Light Barrier. However...

*BANG!*

His body hit the barrier and didn't go through like before. Instead, it even bounced back due to the speed Rean was moving, making him feel a little dizzy for a split second after the hit. "What?!"

How could Romario make the same mistake? During the time he spoke to Rean, he also used his abilities to slightly change the Cubic Light Barrier. Even if Rean was a pure being of light like the Angels, he still couldn't enter it. "Don't fuck with me! Open this shit right now!"

Naturally, Jeskli was there as well. "Wait, wait, wait! Rean, what happened?"

Rean's eyes lit up as he looked back at Jeskli. "Senior Jeskli, forget what I said. I failed to convince the Archangel. That guy still intends to sacrifice the Floating Islands of Time. We need to get inside!"

"What?!" Jeskli obviously wouldn't let it happen. "I shouldn't have waited like you said!"

Immediately, his power burst out as Jeskli began to barrage the Cubic Light Barrier. Rean, obviously, did the same thing. He might not be as strong as Jeskli, but he wouldn't just look at it.

*Boom, boom, boom, boom...*

From inside the Cubic Light Barrier, Romario ignored the sounds of explosions coming from outside. Instead, he seemed calm while he looked at the Sphere of Golden and Silver Lights. "If he just knew what kind of danger we were at the moment... No, I can't let this burden fall upon him. Although I don't know how it happened, it is already a miracle he was able to reincarnate on this side with his memories intact."
