Death… And Me-Novel



Rean and Kentucky weren't sent straight into the Minokawa's home, though. Instead, they were teleported somewhere near the Floating Islands of Time as the Minokawas didn't accept any formations inside near their nests. 

Coming out of the Formation, they were quickly greeted by a Demon Beast taking care of the business there. It wasn't a Minokawa, though. Instead, it was a normal Demon Beast who simply got paid to be there. "I wasn't expecting anyone from the Narfura Race to come here. Do you have any deals with the Minokawas?"

Rean quickly shook his head. "Not really. Our destination just so happens to be near the Floating Islands of Time, so we took this Teleport Formation. We will be leaving straight away."

Sure enough, the Minokawa Race Territory was the Minokawa Race Territory. Everyone there was quite lax, not caring about things that much. As long as it didn't involve getting where the Minokawas' Nests were located, everything else didn't really matter. "Is that so? Well, you are free to go wherever you want. I'm not keeping you company then." The Demon Beast left just as fast as it arrived, pretending to not even having seen Rean and Kentucky.

Kentucky then looked at Rean. "There is most likely a tower of the communication system here too. Why don't you contact Qia before we leave?"

Rean shook his head. "I thought about it when we arrived at the Narfura Race. However, I can't guarantee there is no surveillance in my system now."

Yet, Kentucky didn't seem that worried. "So what if there is? Did we come back to the Center of the Realm of Gods to stay hidden? I might as well tell you this. We will not be able to reach Qia and Calina's group without anyone noticing. Your Divine Sense Bending Skill won't be strong enough to keep the Divinity Realm Divine Senses away. I can guarantee that they definitely have at least two of three watching them all the time."

"This..." Rean had to admit Kentucky was right.

*Zush!*

It was then that Roan appeared outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "I'm not the type who likes to announce my presence. If I can do things without catching anyone's attention, I'll do so. However, our objective had always been to reach Calina and Qia's group as soon as possible. Now that we are in the range of the communication system, you can at least confirm whether they are fine or not. If the communication badge gets used to find our location, so be it."

Rean was a little surprised at Roan's words, as he usually would avoid such actions. Obviously, he wanted to know if his wife was fine... and his son too... probably... "Very well, let me give it a try."

Rean's communication badge was a little special. As the creator of the Communication System, it obviously had a few perks that others didn't. One of them was the manipulation of all information relayed by it. "As long as the system core hadn't been completely changed, I should be able to hide the location of this badge in case someone is watching."

Sure enough, the Minokawa Race's Territory was also connected to the communication system. As soon as Rean took his badge out, it connected to the nearest tower. Rean didn't call Qia or Calina straight away, though. Instead, he used his badge to access the system itself. He wanted to see what changes had been done there to see if he needed to change something before calling the girls.

"Oh!" Looking at the coding of the communication system, Rean quickly noticed the changes that Qia and havek worked on. "This was quite some improvement. They even created new communication badges that can recycle the signal from the towers to send new information back from much greater distances. This was truly ingenious. I will have to get one o those new badges myself."

Rean then went through all the information related to the war itself, getting a full picture of the situation in the Realm of Gods at the moment. "Hehe, you guys will like to hear this. It seems like the Angels had taken control over the Temporal Path, as we already know. However, around twenty years ago, the angels suddenly retreated to the Heavens. From what the Realm of Gods could find out, it seems like some kind of huge revolution took place there."

Roan and Kentucky obviously knew why. "Seems like Spiegel and Waremis already spread the liquid to get rid of the Soul Worms."

Rean nodded. "We already expected that to happen. The good thing about it is that the Realm of Gods took the opportunity to raid the Temporal Path Entrance. Now, they changed that place into an impregnable fortress. Any Devil that comes from the Temporal Path from now on will be basically handing him or herself to their deaths. However, the Devils also retook the Temporal Path Entrance back in the Underworld."

Roan understood what it meant. "Simply put, the Heavens, Realm of Gods, and Underworld all control their own entrances. None of them have the monopoly anymore."

"Exactly," Rean confirmed. "The Devils are still plenty in numbers, though. They retreated further into their territories in the Realm of Gods and are holding the front lines as best as they can, which is quite surprising since you would expect a lot of them to simply desert. They are Devils, after all."ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovelEnglish.net

Roan found it strange, though. "With no more Temporal Path to bring more Devils, how come the Devils are still resisting? If it was me, I would gather the Divinity Realm experts of the Realm of Gods and storm our way into their ranks. I'm sure we have several times more Divinity Realm level experts on our side than the Devils here in the Realm of Gods."

Rean understood that, but the reason for it wasn't available in the system. "I can't tell you why. It's not here."

Rean then proceeded to tell the other pieces of news he got access to before finally settling down. "Alright, this is all we know at the moment."

"Good," Roan was satisfied to have a pretty big picture of the war. "Now, call the girls."

Rean nodded. "Alright."
