Death… And Me Chapter 2858: Disagreement

Chapter 2858: Disagreement

Nonetheless, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm continued to expand to accommodate the ever-growing Integration Pillar. Everyone that looked at it couldn't help but feel a little scared, including Kafan. There was more energy inside the Integration Pillar than the amount inside the Datians and Cores inside everyone in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm... millions of times.
Of course, that didn't last forever. At some point, the speed at which the Chaos Laws and Energy came through the connection with the Chaos Origin Source began to decrease.
"Is it ending?" Roan asked Soul Gem on the side.
Soul Gem shook his head. "No. It is just that the Chaos Origin Source is running out of energy. There is no need to worry, though. The Integration Pillar won't absorb enough to cause any damage to the Chaos Origin Source. This pace shouldn't last more than an hour, according to my calculations."
Soul Gem was right. The speed at which the Chaos Las and Energy were absorbed diminished, but the Integration Pillar was also nearing its completion.
*Pin!*
[ The Integration Pillar is now complete. Hosts can now attempt the repair of the Universe Foundation Pillar.]
The system finally gave its confirmation, but it didn't stop there.
[Please be aware of the effects and follow the steps.]
[1- One of the Hosts has to go to the other side of the Universe. Both hosts will act as a link between the two sides.]
[2- Once the integration starts, the hosts' bodies will be under extreme pressure. The system recommends at least the Sixth Grade Starlight Body.]
[3- With the Foundation Pillar Repaired, the two sides of the Universe will join together. Due to the time they have been apart, the two sides, even though part of the same Universe, have grown apart. The joining of both sides will cause a tremendous collapse of space and time on both sides that will last at least ten hours.]
[4- During the event, the Universe Restraint will target the hosts as the system won't be able to hide the hosts' existence. A large amount of Destiny Points will be required to fend off the Restraint. On the other hand, once the two sides fully connect, the hosts will be accepted as part of the Universe again. The system will not need to intervene anymore to keep the hosts' existence concealed from the Universe.]
The twins remembered the Universe Restraint very well. The same way the Universe used its full force to prevent Flavio from entering, it also couldn't accept the existence of something capable of manipulating its destiny. Naturally, that was the Soul Gem System's main power. Before the system finally grew strong enough to conceal the twins' existence, the twins had to use Destiny Points to deal with the Restraint. Also, every time the Restraint happened, more Destiny Points were necessary as the power of the restraint itself always increased each time.
[5- At the very end, the Soul Gem System's Control Orb will join the Universe. The system recommends that the hosts bring all the living beings inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm out for safety.]
Finally, the system grew silent.
"Phew..." Rean bitterly smiled. "Sure enough, it wouldn't be as easy as simply collecting the Fragments."
"What are you talking about?" Kafan asked them since he couldn't hear the system.
Roan nodded and used his Divine Sense to pass the entire description the system gave.
Soul Gem was the only one not surprised. "I imagined that something like this might happen. We are talking about joining two sides of an entire Universe, after all. The fact the collapse of space and time will only last ten hours is already a miracle in my eyes."
Kentucky found the system explanation quite frightening. "W-What will happen to the people living in our Universe when it happens?"
"Many will die. That's for sure," Soul Gem didn't try to hide anything. "Nonetheless, it is necessary."
"There has to be a way to help everyone, right?" Rean didn't like it. "Collapse of space and time is not something those below of Void Tempering Realm can deal with. Perhaps no one below the Space-Time Realm can, which will be even worse."
"What if the Semi-Celestials help?" Celis thought about those guys' power.
"Help the entire Universe?" Soul Gem obviously denied the idea. "Even a million Semi- Celestials wouldn't be enough to protect everyone, let alone a few tens. However, the Realm of Gods should be fine."
"Hyeoumu?" Roan immediately understood.
"Indeed," Soul Gem nodded. "Hyeoumu himself will be affected by the collapse of space and time, so he is bound to protect himself, and that means he will protect the Realm of Gods since it exists on his back."
"The same can't be said of the Underworld and the Heavens, right?" Naturally, they didn't forget that.
"Sister Orb, what do you think?" Rean looked at the orb, who was weirdly quiet.
[Hum... I was thinking. Perhaps it would be possible to limit the damage.]
Everyone's attention was picked, so Sister Orb continued.
[The Universe Restraint works pretty identically to a collapse of space and time. That's why it is so hard to deal with. But... if enough Destiny Points are used, perhaps we can force the space and time collapse not to spread too far from both connection points.]
Rean immediately accepted. "That's obviou-"
"Forget it," Roan instantly cut Rean's words, though.
"What?!" Rean was taken aback. "Are you fucking kidding me?"
"No, you are," Roan retorted. "We will be under extreme pressure, and Universe Restraints will focus on us. We need every single Destiny Point since we don't even know if we have enough. Shall I remind you that once we don't have more Destiny Points, we might die?"
"You don't know if we need them all!" Rean complained back.
"Hmph!" Roan didn't care. "Idiot. Our death means the end of the Soul Gem System, which means the end of the Universe's repairing effort. Simply put, we won't lose just a few lives. We will lose everyone! I would rather guarantee the joining of both sides of the Universe with some deaths."
