Death… And Me Chapter 2846: Incoming

Chapter 2846: Incoming

Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky felt puzzled at the moment. They kept trying to stabilize their cultivation at the Initial Stage of the Divinity Realm. But, for some reason, they simply couldn't do it. Their cultivation kept oscillating between reaching the Divinity Realm and Falling back into the s.p.a.ce-Time Realm.

"What is going on?" Celis was utterly bewildered. "I can't seem to absorb any more Divine Origin Energy."

Roan agreed. "Indeed. It's the same for all of us, it seems."

"That's not all," Rean narrowed his eyes as he checked his Dantian. "We aren't able to stabilize our cultivation and enter the Divinity Realm. However, at the same time, we aren't falling back to the s.p.a.ce-Time Realm either. It feels like something is locking our cultivation right at the division between the two realms, not allowing us to go back or forward."

Kafan and Turen quickly approached and asked about the situation. After receiving the explanation, the two of them felt as lost s the twins' group. "We have never heard about something like that. If you had failed, you should have fallen back into the Peak Stage of the s.p.a.ce-Time Realm."

[Ahem...] Finally, Sister Orb appeared. [I'm sorry to say this, but your cultivations are the things that matter the least now.]

"What do yo-" Rean was just about to ask when suddenly, his body was forcefully teleported outside of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

He wasn't the only one. Roan, Celis, and Kentucky were sent out as well, appearing in the middle of nowhere in the Underworld.

[Turen, Kafan, Romario, I'll send you three out as well. The rest shall stay inside.]

*Zush, zush, zush...*

In the next moment, Sister Orb appeared outside with those three. Rean's group was also there, although much further away.

"Sister Orb?" Rean called her from afar.

[You stay there and don't move.]

Roan narrowed his eyes. She obviously seemed to know something, and he was just about to ask for an explanation. However, his attention instantly s.h.i.+fted as a dreadful sensation a.s.saulted him.

It wasn't only him. Rean, Kentucky, and Celis felt the same thing. As if they had the same mind, all four of them looked in a specific direction, certain that something was there. "What is this?"

That sensation was several times more obvious than when the Grape Vortex was brought into this Universe. It was different from Killing Intent. The twins' group just felt like something wanted to wipe them out of existence, but they couldn't understand what it was. "Sister Orb!" [Stay far away!] She warned again, [The tribulation is coming!]

"Tribulation?" No one had ever heard about such a thing. "What triobulation? Is it the Universe Restraint?"

Back when they were on the Sunkan Planet, the Universe seemed to be rejecting the system's control over destiny and tried to get rid of the twins. It sent down an attack, which the twins used their Destiny Points to defend against. After resisting the restraint, it never appeared again.

[No!] Sister Orb explained. [This has nothing to do with the Universe Restraint. The system is already too strong to be detected by that. This goes beyond the powers of this Universe. It is a Tribulation, a kind of trial sent out by the Celestial Laws of the whole Great Void.]

"Celestial Laws?" Kentucky asked back. "Wasn't it something to do with the Celestial Realm?"

[Yes,] Sister Orb confirmed. [Celestial Realm experts should be able to control Celestial Laws and even change them like the Semi-Celestials do. However, they are still nothing compared to the power of the Celestial Laws of the Great Void.]

"How do you even know all of that?" Roan had to ask.

[My memories... As soon as you broke through your bottlenecks, one of my old memories managed to escape the seal I put on myself. Perhaps it was I myself who prepared the seal to work like this, but I don't remember. In any case, the Tribulation is coming. You will have to survive this.]

"We will help!" Kafan didn't think twice. He couldn't allow the twins to die.

[No can do!] However, Sister Orb instantly appeared in front of him.

"What?! Get out of my way. We can't risk letting them die!" Kafan obviously retorted. Romario and Turen also joined him.

[That's not it!] Sister Orb still didn't move. [The Tribulation Power has its own targets. Anyone who tries to intervene will only make things worse. We are talking about the Celestial Laws given sentience. If you do as much as put one finger in the way, you will double the power of the Tribulation.]

[If you truly try to fight against it, the Tribulation Power will increase even more until it finally grows strong enough to kill you. Even worse, once it does kill you, its power will not decrease. Rean and Roan's group will have to deal with a Tribulation capable of killing a Semi-Celestial at that point. I'm not kidding here. Even a real Celestial Realm expert can't stop it, let alone you.]

"This..." Kafan naturally didn't move forward anymore, nor did Turen or Romario. "What should they do?"

Sister Orb turned to the twins' group. [Resist! The power of the Tribulation is decided according to the strength of the targets. Because of the Soul Connection between you four, all of you are being targeted. You will have to work together to resist it.]

Roan breathed slowly and nodded. "Very well. I don't know how the h.e.l.l we caught the attention of the Celestial Laws, but that matters not now. Everyone, hide behind Kentucky and let him defend. That should be enough."

"Your a.s.s! Are you trying to kill me?!" Kentucky wanted to cry already.

"Do I look like I'm joking? You have the strongest defense between the four of us," Roan explained. "If we want to survive, our best option is to support you."

Suddenly, the world around them began to change. s.p.a.ce itself began to break, and an immense power started to gather in the surroundings. Above the twins, a purple cloud began to take form, and the eerie feeling of death increased even more. The moment it did, all the Semi-Celestials in the Universe felt its arrival.
