Death... and me

"Really?" Kentucky and Rean asked back at the same time.

Waremis immediately got up and proceeded to the exit of the room. "I have a few angels to contact. You two can stay here for the time being. Finding seven thousand years of Snow Cidreira Herb will not be easy, so you might have to wait for a while."

Obviously, Rean and Kentucky didn't mind. "Thank you, senior Waremis."

Waremis quickly left after that, leaving Rean and Kentucky with Spiegel and Aelrie. "So... senior Spiegel, Aelrie, how are things going now that you got rid of the Soul Worms?"

"We haven't eliminated them completely yet," Spiegel was the first to talk. "The Soul Worms had been spreading from Angel to Angel for too many years. Even if that ridiculous amount of Spatial Soul Spectral Oscillation Liquid, we can't reach every corner in such a short time."

Aelrie agreed with him. "Indeed. We first took care of the biggest cities of the Angel Realm and the Angel Beast Territories. But to be honest, all that Spatial Soul Spectral Oscillation Liquid might not be enough to completely eliminate the issue. The Angel Realm, Heavens, is just too big."

"Nonetheless, it's not going to be a problem anymore," Spiegel continued. "The descendants of those who received the Spatial Soul Spectral Oscillation Liquid inherit the immunity. We might not be able to catch everyone, but we can definitely make more than 90% immune. With enough time, the ones with Soul Worms will eventually disappear."

Kentucky was curious. "What about the Angel responsible for all of it? Have you found him?" Of course, Kentucky and Rean knew that the Angel in question was Rean's father. Still, they couldn't tell such a thing here.

Unfortunately, both Spiegel and Aelrie shook their heads. "That Angel was in the Peak Stage of the Archangel Realm. Besides, it was not like the influence of the Soul Worms disappeared instantaneously. It took some time. That Archangel noticed the change and escaped way before we could think about trying to capture him. As long as he stays hidden, it will be very hard to find that guy. We don't even know his name yet. He is truly a mystery as far as all the Archangels know."

"So... when the Angels were attacking the Underworld... they retreated because..." Rean commented.

"Seems like you understood," Spiegel confirmed. "Indeed, the attack was mainly because we were being influenced by that Archangel. After the Angels woke up, we sent several members of our race down to the Underworld and released the Spatial Soul Spectral Oscillation Liquid there. Once the Archangels down below recovered their minds, they immediately retreated back. We couldn't care less about the Underworld, considering what our own Realm was going through."

Rean and Kentucky thought about a possibility. Romario most likely wanted to conquer the Underworld to put his hands on the Underworld Relic. After all, it was believed the Underworld Relic was powered by a Fragment of the Universe, and a Fragment was exactly what Romario needed. However, at the same time, it might not be the case. Romario commented back in the Floating Islands of Time that only the Fragment in the Floating Islands of Time had the power he needed. After all, Sister Orb mentioned that Fragment had the highest amount of Spatial and Time Powers compared to the others.

Rean's expression then turned serious as he asked something else. "What about the Vruves? Have they made any movements? Even in the Realm of Gods, the experts seemed to be very wary of them during the recent events."

"We obviously know what kind of risk the Vruves pose," Spiegel knew the trouble they could give. "One of the very first things we did after helping the angels recover their self-control was to swipe the main commanding areas of our Realm in search of spies and things like that. And as you can probably expect, due to Soul Worms, there were indeed quite a few Vruves around. We got rid of as many as we could, but they are definitely still around. The Vruves have Angels under their command, too, after all."

Rean and Kentucky didn't find it strange. Even in the Realm of Gods, a good number of their members appeared when the Pseudo-Temporal Path was found. They were Cultivators and Demon Beasts that lived in the Realm of Gods up to that point, and no one knew about them.

Unfortunately, Spiegel and Aelrie didn't have much information regarding the Vruves either. The organization was shrouded in mystery, and it seemed impossible to put their own spies in their Realm.

In the end, Rean gave up asking about the Vruves and changed the topic to something else that greatly interested his group. "Alright... By the way, have you guys ever heard about a place called Azum Dimensional Realm? From what I heard, it is supposed to exist here in the Angel Realm, Heavens."

Azum Dimensional Realm was one of the places the twins knew to probably have a Fragment of the Universe Foundation inside. Yet, that was pretty much everything they knew about the place.

Spiegel and Aelrie got confused as to why Rean would ask about such a place. Nonetheless, it wasn't any secret, so they simply decided to talk. "Actually, this is quite a famous Dimensional Realm that the young Angels enter to train. Even the deepest areas of this Dimensional Realm can be safely explored by anyone in the Elemental Transformation Realm and above. You and Kentucky are in the Space-Time Realm, literally five Realms above in level. There shouldn't be anything there of interest to you."

Rean and Kentucky didn't expect that. Regardless of the Fragment, as long as they were responsible for something, they usually caused a lot of trouble and were surrounded by danger. Hearing that such a kid's playground was the place they were looking for seemed somewhat hard to believe. 'Could it be that we are not talking about the same place?' Kentucky and Rean thought at the same time.

Aelrie then extended her hand to Rean and Kentucky. "If you want, I can bring you there. It will probably take a few weeks and a lot of favors for Clan Leader Waremis to get that Seven Thousand Years or older Snow Cidreira Herb, after all."

Spiegel also got up after hearing that. "Indeed, you guys can go out and spend some time with Aelrie. I have things to do, so I'll take my leave too. Oh, by the way, change your appearances into Angels like the last time. It will prevent too many eyes watching your back."

Rean and Kentucky didn't really have a reason to refuse. "Alright."
