Death… And Me-Novel

[Ahem...] Sister Orb intervened. [That would be impossible. Did you forget? All I need is to have a chance to look at what would be tracking us, just like it happened back with Aelrie. This Totem is right here, so I'm confident they would never be able to use our Dimensional Realm's aura to find it.]

Rean mentally smiled. 'Roan obviously knows that, Sister Orb. However, do you think Gragatou does?'

[Ah!] Only then did Sister Orb understand. Roan was trying to get some benefits by implying that.

Gragatou, obviously, didn't know about it. He just narrowed his eyes as he pondered about this issue. Would he want to have a tracker on himself everywhere he goes? He definitely wouldn't. No cultivator would. "I have no reason to go after you. First, we Semi-Celestials can't intervene with the outside world unless we all agree with it. Second, you are Kafan's disciple, so I wouldn't want to antagonize him."

Roan shook his head. "According to your explanation, any Semi-Celestial would be able to track us down as long as they have this Totem you mentioned. Even if you don't do it, what about someone else?"

"I will not give this totem to anyone," Gragatou tried to reassure Roan. "Ha!" Roan snorted in response. "And I am to believe you, just like that? There's better be something in there to make it worth taking this risk."

Finally, Gragatou understood where Roan was trying to go. "Why didn't you say before? Speak, what do you want in exchange for the aura of your Pocket Dimensional Realm?"

Roan then looked at Rean. 'I got the deal, but I don't really have anything I wish at the moment. What about you?'

'Eh?! Errr...' Rean was taken aback. He thought Roan wanted something, so he didn't expect that question. 'I truly can't think about anything at the moment, to be honest.'

Rean felt helpless. It was true they didn't have much they wished. They have a supreme cultivation technique, more Divine Origin Energy Cores than they need, and their own facilities in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm didn't lose to anyone. The only thing they truly needed at the moment was the Universe Foundation Fragments, but that was impossible to acquire this way. Even if Gragatou had one, which they are pretty sure he doesn't, he wouldn't trade it with them.

'How about some protecting treasure?' Rean asked. 'We used our last one a long time ago. Something that can protect us against Divinity Realm experts, maybe?'

Roan narrowed his eyes. 'It feels quite a waste to get something like that. After all, now we can resist the Circuitry Teleport Formation in the midst of a chaotic Spatial environment.'

[I wouldn't count on that alone, though,] Sister Orb warned. [You can definitely resist such a teleport, but due to its randomness, you truly might end up somewhere you can't escape. Perhaps you can even die, so it has to be a last resort.]

Rean agreed with Sister Orb. 'She is right. Also, it is not that hard to stop our Circuitry Teleport Formation. It is all a matter of whether the enemy knows we have such a thing or not. If they do, they can block the Space of the area. That would make teleporting with the Circuitry Teleport Formation impossible.'

'However...' Rean sighed lightly, 'I do agree with you. A life-saving treasure seems quite a waste. It's just that I can't think of anything we need at the moment.'

Suddenly, Kentucky's voice echoed in the twins' minds. 'Oh! I do know exactly what you would want in exchange.'

Rean and Roan weren't exactly waiting for a good idea coming from Kentucky, but they decided to hear it. 'What do you have in mind.'

'Freedom!' Kentucky's words immediately made Rean and Roan's souls tremble.

'That's... a great idea!' Rean was the first one to react. Roan, naturally, followed suit. 'I have to admit that is a great request. Gragatou is a Semi-Celestial, so he definitely has this power.' 

How could the twins not know what Kentucky was talking about? At the moment, Rean and Roan are wanted individuals all over the Realm of Gods. That's mostly because of Rean, who was the one behind the Communication System. Let alone that it is pretty clear to many others that the twins have many secrets.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

As a result, they left the Dragon Race Territory all those years ago without anyone noticing. They have seen many times in their travels in the Realm of Gods the wanted posters for them. Not to mention that with the Communication System, pretty much everyone knew about them. The twins had to always move around while changing their appearance.

But what if Gragatou intervenes? A Semi-Celestial giving orders to the Divinity Realm experts of the Realm of Gods. It is pretty much guaranteed they will be able to be themselves again. Not only that, but Rean and Roan could finally go back to the System Sect in the Dragon Race Territory, where their families are at the moment, without the fear of being captured.

Rean and Roan looked at each other and nodded. That was definitely worth the trade. 'Let's go with that.'

"Senior Gragatou, this is what we want in exchange," Rean began to talk. He then explained their situation and everything surrounding it. Gragatou listened with patience. When Rean finished his request, he just gave a light smile. "What? Just that?"

"Just that!" Rean nodded vigorously.

"Hahaha! You can't go back on your word anymore!" Gragatou spoke as he laughed. Right after, he passed an item to Flinyu. "Use my token and pay a visit to the other Divinity Realm brats. Tell them that they are forbidden from causing trouble to the twins."

Flinyu nodded but also asked. "Won't it make the other Semi-Celestials of the Spirit and Demon Beast races angry for meddling in their matters?"

Gragatou shook his head. "Don't worry, they won't care. I'll make sure of it."

"Understood, Master." Flinyu didn't waste time and immediately left with a Spatial Gate.

With that said, Gragatou turned his attention back to the twins. "Now then... I believe this is a deal."

The twins obviously agreed. "And a very good one at that."
