Death… And Me Chapter 2789: Thing

Chapter 2789: Thing

The world blackened and shined at the same time. A power that surpassed even the full-force attack of the Semi-Celestials against the Grape Vortex appeared, taking everything in its path. All the formations, defenses, or any remaining experts in its range were wiped out of
existence. Not even souls could escape this fate.
"Time to go!" Said Kafan as he pulled Soul Gem with him and disappeared from his position.
The other Semi-Celestials did the same thing and followed Soul Gem.
*Brrrummmmmm!*
In the end, the Star Ray attack passed unimpeded through everything and shot into the distance. The only thing in its path now was the Universe Foundation Pillar.
However, the Universe itself suddenly began to tremble as an apocalyptic amount of energy was dragged from within the Chaos Origin Source. A barrier with the same Black and White colors appeared in front of the Star Ray, blocking its path.
*BOOM!*
Tens of millions of kilometers were instantly washed by the aftermath of that collision of power. The power used in the Star Ray came from Universe Foundation Fragments from other Universes. And other Universe Fragments were considered as harmful entities by the Universes they found themselves in.
The Lisan Universe felt that power aiming at its Foundation Pillar, so it automatically defended itself. The Star Ray was without a doubt powerful, but it couldn't possibly topple the power of an entire Universe and its Chaos Origin Source. In the end, the Stay Ray dissipated, failing to get even close to the Foundation Pillar.
*Boom, boom, boom...*
In the distance, the five Spaceships that were used to shoot the Star Ray began to break down. Explosions happened everywhere as the hundreds of thousands of kilometers-long Spaceship crumbled one after another. The power of a Universe Foundation Fragment was no joke, and the price for that attack was the utter loss of the five Spaceships being powered by them. Soul Gem and the others didn't look at that, though. Instead, they looked at the aftermath of that attack. The fabric of space had completely collapsed around the area where the Star Ray passed. The Space powers were so chaotic at the moment that even Semi-Celestials would feel hard-pressed to pass through it, let alone lower-level experts.
"Phew..." Kilindou breathed coldly as he watched it. He was fighting against another Semi- Celestial from Garisan. However, the the Star Ray activated, his opponent instantly retreated, and he definitely wouldn't follow the guy into the area dominated by the Garisan Forces. "Good thing you guys reacted fast."
Sophia nodded, looking at Soul Gem. "The orders came pretty fast. Did you know it was going to happen?"
Soul Gem shook his head. "No. I didn't even know such a powerful weapon existed. I wish I had a weapon like that back when the Extinction SPhere appeared. It would have been a lot easier to get rid of it, and the Universe wouldn't have been split in two."
Gragatou didn't seem very happy. "It is not time to count our luck."
Soul Gem nodded. "Order everyone to come out of the Pocket Dimensional Realms and assume defensive formations again." He looked at the area where the Lisan Universe Forces were stationed before and sighed. "All our formations and defensive structures are gone. We have just lost a huge advantage."
Kafan agreed. "Indeed. Also, there were way too many cultivators to save. Even though we acted fast, we still lost 10% or so of our forces in that one single attack. They, on the other hand, lost five Spaceships, but most likely, none of the experts died. Even if they failed in their main plan, their attack wasn't for nothing."
Soul Gem and Kafan were right. Flavio was fuming in rage outside the Universe, but he also understood he managed to get rid of the traps, formations, and a huge number of enemies. "Immediately gather the forces and attack! DO NOT let them build their defenses again!"
"Yes, sir!" The orders were quickly passed forward.
On the battlefield, countless experts from Garisan appeared one after another again. They barely finished their combat formations before marching against the Lisan Universe Forces. Lisan wasn't any slower, though. The Space-Time and Divinity Realm experts who saved most of the army returned to similar positions to before. Their Pocket Dimensional Realms quickly emptied as all the experts appeared once again.
However, it was clear in everyone's eyes the fear they were feeling. Even though they didn't see the Star Ray inside the Pocket Dimensional Realms, the aftermath not too far away was a testament to the power of the last attack. What if another attack like that came against them? "That's weird..." Jundonis, the Semi-Celestial of the Sun Spirit Race, spoke on the side. "You mean the morale?" Kilindou asked. "That's to be expected. Even I feel a chill on my back just thinking about that attack just now. Let alone them."
"No," Jundonis shook his head. "I'm talking about the experts from Garisan. Look, they are all coming from inside the Spaceships. Did you forget? They were teleported away before the attack, and that was done in the midst of the chaotic space, something we can't do."
Soul Gem immediately understood. "That's true. Since they can teleport within the chaotic space, why are they making their way out of the Spaceships normally? If they had just teleported their armies to the right positions, they would have given us way less time to prepare."
"Now that most of our formations and defenses were taken down by that last ray of light, attacking us as fast as possible is their best opportunity. And yet, they aren't teleporting but assuming their positions normally," Soul Gem concluded.
"Do you mean..." Kilindou thought about something.
"Yes," Soul Gem nodded. "They most likely can't use that teleport method all the time. It makes sense. After all, teleporting such a huge number of armies with experts of so many different levels wasn't supposed to be easy. Let alone do it within a very chaotic space."
"That is something you can only guess, though." Kafan warned. "Perhaps they are pretending to not be able to do it again."
Soul Gem glanced at him. "Would you have lost this chance?"
Kafan narrowed his eyes. "No..."
"Then I will bet on it," Soul Gem spoke. "Since we lost most of our formations and defenses, we will be at a huge disadvantage. They all have the system armors, after all. We don't..."
Soul Gem took a deep breath. "And here I thought we wouldn't need that thing. Does anyone have anything against it?"
The Semi-Celestials had ugly expressions, but no one said anything.
Seeing that, Soul Gem nodded. "Then it is time for that thing to appear. Let's just hope it stays on their side."
