Death... and me

"What is that?!" No one expected something that big to appear out of nowhere. Some even wondered if it was a trap prepared by the Crimew Region participants. Of course, Rhathio and his own companions were as lost as Jutras Region's participants. They hadn't heard anything about that at all.

Inside the System Sect, deep inside a giant room in the Formations Hall, a thousand cultivators stood in specific positions. At the center was a core filled with their own Divine Energy.

*Bzzzzz...*

In just two or three seconds, the entire System Sect began to shine as something that looked like a ray of light shot out from the hall. After that, the ray spread after reaching a certain altitude, quickly forming a dome in an area of tens of kilometers around the battlefield. Everyone there was now trapped inside.

Though, that wasn't all. Another dome also appeared, covering the System Sect itself. Those who were trapped were now in between the outer and inner domes. No one had time to react or flee as this happened too quickly.

'What is that thing? Is this part of the surrendering you talked about?' Rhathio immediately asked Olly in the middle of the battlefield.

Olly bitterly smiled in response. Even he didn't expect this to happen. Sure, he still remembered how the System Sect had been moved when the other powers tried to conquer Walfure and the regions around it. However, never did he think the twins would bring the System Sect here. After all, that was the place where the communication system was stored. Without it, the communication system simply didn't work.

*Dummmmmmmm...*

Unfortunately, Rhathio had no chance to listen to Olly's answer. That's because he suddenly felt like his own body had become tens of times heavier! A gravity formation activated, affecting everyone who wasn't related to the System Sect.

"Retreat!" The Jutras Region didn't waste time, though. Pourchaq immediately passed the order to get away from this place. They had checked it thoroughly before they came to fight in this place. There wasn't anything here similar to the sect or the formations that were now active. Nevertheless, the facts were right in front of their eyes. They needed to first get out of its range since they couldn't risk losing their members. "Everyone, focus on the same point of that barrier. I refuse to believe it can withstand the power of all of us together."

Even though he said such a thing, the gravity formations were making it really hard just to stay in the skies. The Transition Realm subordinates they brought with them were also on the ground, not being able to stay there.

Roan's Divine Sense then spread out as he contacted Olly and the others. 'How long will you keep looking? Can't you see when a chance appears? No wonder you guys were put under our command.'

Olly's mouth twitched after hearing that. 'Fuck you! I was just going to do exactly that!'

'Dimensional Lightning Divider!'

Olly quickly passed by Rhathio as he attacked Pourchaq from the Jutras Region. Ramon, Luina, Leticia, Andrile, Qrimete, Franga, Regila, all the Space Bending Realm members of the Jamai Sect that came to this place spread their domains again and attacked Jutras.

Rhathio and his companions were left there, their eyes wide open. After all, the gravity formations also affected them. 'What to do? What to do?!' He didn't know if he should join Walfure or try to escape. After all, they were in just as bad condition as the Jutras Region's participants in this place.

However, he received Roan's Divine Sense message straight after. 'Didn't you agree to surrender to Walfure? This is your chance. If you don't, hehe. Once you do, go attack the Jutras Region participants as well.'

'And what stops you from killing us as soon as you kill the Jutras Region's participants?' Rhathio still wanted some sort of guarantee.

'Uh... are you an idiot? I'm in control here. Whether you want to trust my Walfure Region or not is not my problem. You can just wait and die with your companions if you prefer not surrendering,' Roan answered, not caring at all.

Meanwhile, outside the containment barrier of the System Sect, Rean and Havek watched the scene unfold. "Oh, oh! Look at that! We really did create quite a strong Divine Low-level formation, didn't we?"

Havek nodded in his human form. "Yeah. By adding Circuitry Runes to the mix, I believe our barrier is much stronger than any Divine Low-level formation you can find. The Circuitry Gravity Formation is what surprised me, though. I didn't expect that it would be this effective against Space Bending Realm opponents. After all, they can use  a lot of Space Power."

Rean shrugged his shoulders, clarifying, "You seem to be making a mistake here. Even if you can control space, that doesn't mean you can control gravity. Controlling space will not reduce the effect of the Circuitry Gravity Formation on you at all."

Havek had to admit Rean was right. "Well, that's true."

Kentucky, who had flown above the formation, suddenly sent Rean a message. 'We have a few targets to hunt.'

Roan's plan was to not let a single soul escape this place. After all, this method could be used indefinitely as long as the other side didn't expect it. In fact, it could be used even if they did expect it, but that would give the enemy the necessary time to prepare against it.

Rean looked at all the Transition Realm cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits behind him before giving the order. "It's up to you now. Make sure you cover all sides of the formation, so the scouts hiding in the area can't escape."

"Understood!" Everyone quickly spread out after that. After all, the System Sect trapped all the high-level experts. That meant only Nascent Soul Realm ones remained.

*Bang, bang, bang...*

However, Rean could see how the attacks of the Jutras Region members weakened the protective barrier. 'Sure enough, it's strong, but it can't deflect the desperate attacks of the Jutras Region participants. It seems like they're all paying some price to fight back and attack the formation at the same time,' said Rean through the twins' Soul Connection.

Roan wasn't the least bit concerned, saying after that, "Hey, Celis. It's your turn."
