Death… and me

Chapter 2776: A Single Button



Chapter 2776: A Single Button

As a means of divergence, the experts around the Grape Vortex would once in a while attack it in different ways. They were trying to make it look like they were looking for some

other solution. Even the Semi-Celestials participated, although they wouldn’t sacrifice their laws comprehension while at it.

After two days, Romario and Soul managed to put the commanding device back together, much to Soul Gem’s relief. “Fortunately, I always carry enough materials for repair. The Spatial Laws from the guy that attacked me truly did a mess with the main terminal.”

Romario agreed. “It’s a Celestial Realm expert. Even if his power was greatly diminished by the Universe itself, it is still not something we can scoff at.”

“Kafan!” Soul Gem didn’t waste time and immediately called out. “Spread everyone again. Same positions as before. Let them spread the devices around them as well and be ready to fill them with Divine Energy.”

“On it!” Kafan left the range of Rean’s Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill and passed the orders through Divine Sense. ‘All of you, we are ready. Go back to your positions and put the triangular objects Soul Gem gave you back in their position. Make sure you have enough Divine Energy to feed them while protecting against the Grape Vortex’s suction power.’

Everyone got excited and quickly followed Kafan’s words. They went to the same positions, quickly taking the devices out. Soon, the hundreds of thousands of devices were spread all around the Grape Vortex.

Soul Gem didn’t want to leave it up to chance. After he was ‘revived,’ Rean and Soul Gem moved to a completely different position while Rean kept the concealment. They didn’t know if it worked, but it was worth a try. Soul Gem actived the main terminal that controlled all the small triangular devices, connecting to them all. “Kafan, I’m ready. Let’s not delay. Tell everyone to fill them with Divine Energy now.”

Immediately, the thousands of cultivators, demon beasts, angels, spirits, and devils sent their Divine Energy inside. It was Divine Origin Energy that was necessary, so it was the same energy for everyone.

On Soul Gem’s screens, an image that looked like a 3D version of the Grape Vortex took form. After confirming he was connected to the devices, he immediately activated them.

All the devices shined in unison for a moment before they returned to normal. Nonetheless, they connected to each other, and information passed through all of them. It created a barrier around the Grape Vortex that even its absorption power couldn’t drain.

Back outside the Universe, Flavio noticed that in the monitors of his Spaceship and narrowed his eyes. “Did they have someone else capable of operating this thing?” Yet, he looked at all sides and couldn’t find Soul Gem. Ever since Rean used his concealment skill, Flavio wasn’t able to find Soul Gem’s corpse he had killed.

Soul Gem looked at all the information he received and nodded, satisfied. “Alright, hold it for ten seconds. That should be enough for me to make a reading of the signal controlling this thing.”

Leandro was right in the end. There was truly just one Celestial Realm expert outside. Now that the guy had used his power to send an attack into this Universe, he couldn’t do it again for a few more days at least. And since he didn’t send anyone to protect the Grape Vortex, no one was there to stop Soul Gem from finishing his readings.

*Poof! Poof, poof, poof, poof, poof…*

Suddenly, all the triangular devices began to explode into clouds of dust. In just a few seconds, the hundreds of thousands of them disappeared. The clouds of dust they created around the Grape Vortex were then absorbed, leaving the experts puzzled.

“Did it fail?” Kafan immediately asked.

“No,” Soul Gem smiled in response. “I had to use all the devices’ power to be able to detect the signal within such a powerful suction force and chaotic environment. Nonetheless, I was able to read the signal and save its properties.”

Soul Gem followed that by taking out even more terminals of Circuitry Formation Equipment. He connected the terminal that controlled the triangular devices to these new ones and quickly injected his Divine Origin Energy inside.

Romario and Rean could more or less make something of all the information displayed on the terminal. Nonetheless, Soul Gem was the only one capable of comprehending them as fast as they passed. He worked fast, using his Divine Sense and Energy to operate all terminals at once. Finally, the main screen he was using changed, showing an image of a key.

“That…” Rean recognized it. The system was very similar to his own communication system. “That’s the cryptography I used in the communication system…”

Romario shook his head, though. “No. This one is much, much more advanced. Soul Gem will need a key if he wants to open it and use the same signal that controls the Grape Vortex.”

It was then that Soul Gem pulled a collar from his neck. He placed it on a small receptor on one of the terminals, connecting the two. Suddenly, all the cryptographed information on the screen changed, soon becoming usable.

The others watching didn’t understand shit. However, Romario and Rean looked at each other. They knew very well what that meant. ‘He must have some connections with the guys who created this cryptography for the Grape Vortex. That’s the only explanation!’ They thought at the same time.

Soul Gem could tell what they were thinking, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he gave an order. “Things are about to get bad. Tell everyone to get away from the Grape Vortex.”

Kafan nodded and passed the message to everyone. All groups were confused as to what was the results, but they still followed the orders. Not long after, Soul Gem and everyone else retreated hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. The Grape Vortex was still enormous in their vision, but the distance was at least secure.

Soul Gem quickly generated an identical signal to the one the Grape Vortex received, accessing its configurations. “Sure enough, this thing was never made to be brought back. It is an expendable item. It can only be destroyed, even if it is on purpose.”

*Click!*

With a single press of a button, the dark void in front of them illuminated a few seconds later. The Grape Vortex immediately exploded, using all the energy inside to destroy everything!
