Chapter 2894: Familiar Feel
Chapter 2894: Familiar Feel
Pain… that was the first thing that appeared on Rean’s mind when he started to recover his consciousness. Almost as if by instinct, Rean tried to gather Light Element to heal the damage on his soul, but he was soon let down to find out he didn’t have a single iota of Divine Origin Energy in his body.
‘Don’t waste your time,’ Roan’s voice echoed in Rean’s mind a second later. ‘We have no Divine Energy. In fact, we don’t even have Dantians anymore.’
Rean jolted awake as the memories of his last moments flashed in his mind. The battle against Garisan, the statue with a Universe Owner’s power, the burning of their real souls and the unavoidable death. ‘What is happening here? We died, didn’t we? We completely spent our entire Soul, so even reincarnation was completely out of the table.’
Rean tried to look around, but all he could see was darkness. He tried to move, but he seemed to be locked in some kind of closed space.
As Rean did that, Roan shared with him what he knew. ‘I also have the exact same memories as you. I woke up just a few minutes ago and tried to do something. However, it doesn’t seem like we are going anywhere anytime soon.’
‘Right! Let’s just enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm fir-‘ Yet, before Rean could even finish his words, he noticed that he couldn’t feel the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm anymore. The only thing he noticed to still be there was the Control Orb, but it wasn’t inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Instead, it floated in an extremely small spatial space that barely fitted the orb itself. Any cheap Spatial Ring would have many times more space than that. Roan, already expecting that, continued. ‘We don’t have the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm anymore. Also, don’t even try to talk with Sister Orb. She is not answering. Or, to be more specific, I don’t even know if Sister Orb is still inside the Control Orb anymore. We could feel her presence through our Soul Connection in the past, but now even she is gone.’
Rean calmed down and tried to evaluate the situation. ‘Indeed, I can’t feel Sister Orb’s presence. Not only that, but I can’t feel Kentucky or Celis either.’
‘You know what it means, right?’ Roan asked, hoping Rean had the same idea.
Rean definitely knew it. ‘We can feel everyone inside our connection as long as we are inside the same Universe. Is that what you want to say?’
The connection between the twins, Sister Orb, Kentucky, and Celis was always there. In the past, leaving the specified connection range between them would lock most of the Soul Gem System’s abilities. However, it didn’t mean the connection disappeared. They could still feel it, although they couldn’t do much as a result.
After they unified the Lisan Universe and got the Title of Universe Owners, the connection range limitation disappeared. As long as they were within the Lisan Universe, Rean, Roan, Celis, Sister Orb, and Kentucky could always access the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and the twins always had access to all of the system’s abilities.
Yet, now they absolutely couldn’t feel Sister Orb, Kentucky, or Celis. It was as if the connection had been completely severed. There are only two ways such a thing could have happened. The first one, obviously, is for Celis, Kentucky, and Sister Orb to disappear. For example, Kentucky and Celis might have died, or Sister Orb’s sentience might have been destroyed.
However, neither Rean nor Roan believed that possibility. Before they died, they knew they had guaranteed their Lisan Universe’s victory. Even if Garisan could go back to take revenge, that would take a very long time, and chances were that Garisan was forced to negotiate with Lisan for the Vassal Universe objective.
Since that was most likely the case, only the second option remained: They were not in the same Universe anymore. The only doubt was whether Rean and Roan left Lisan Universe or Kentucky, Sister Orb, and Celis left the Universe instead.
‘The chicken is too scared to think about something like leaving the Universe,’ Roan continued. ‘Unless he absolutely had no other choice, we can agree that the ones who left Lisan Universe were the both of us, and not them. As for death, that’s unlikely.’
Rean pondered a bit while he continued to try to move. Too bad he had no strength to force his way out of wherever he was. ‘I know you said their deaths are unlikely… but how long has it been since we arrived in this place? Could it be that we have, in fact, been sleeping for a ridiculous amount of time or something like that?’
Roan understood why Rean said that. ‘I understand your doubt. These bodies of ours… they are definitely not our original bodies. So I can’t really tell you how long we have been unconscious.’
Rean nodded. ‘Exactly. Well, our previous bodies weren’t our original bodies anyway. Those were our second bodies. Whatever, that matters little now. At least now I know I didn’t have to die with you like we were some kind of big friends or some shit like that.’
‘For that, I’m also happy,’ Roan couldn’t agree more.
The two went silent for a moment when suddenly…
‘Hahahaha!’ Rean and Roan began to laugh out loud. Yes, even Roan couldn’t help but do the same. Everything was supposed to be over, but they survived somehow. Whatever their situation was at the moment, it wasn’t as important as avoiding the worst-case scenario of death.
After a few moments of relaxation, the twins calmed down.
‘Now then, don’t you think this feeling is quite familiar?’ Rean seemed to recall some moments in the past similar to this.
‘Yes,’ Roan totally agreed. ‘It feels just like when we were inside Hamarlia’s womb… but not quite the same.’
‘Yes, it is slightly different,’ Rean agreed. ‘For once, we are definitely not babies… or at least that’s what I can feel when touching my body. I can’t see shit.’
Without another choice, they could only wait and analyze the situation further.
