Death... and me

The battle resumed, with the experts from Garisan quickly getting the upper hand from the very start. The individual powers of their experts were much higher due to the armors, and the Lisan Universe could only make up for it with numbers. Nonetheless, that was only a

temporary solution that would only dwindle their numbers.

Without another choice, more Semi-Celestials from Lisan entered the battlefield. Even Gragatou joined the fray while only Kafan stayed behind to protect Soul Gem and the other strategiests.

Flavio had tried to use the same method he used to attack Soul Gem before. But since that day, all Semi-Celesitals kept a barrier of Divine Energy and Laws active around them. If any unseen Spatial Fluctuation appeared, they would immediately leave the area.

Turns out it was the right decision. Flavio had to fight against the Universe's force to send an attack, and it couldn't possibly arrive instantly. That made his attempts meaningless, and he eventually gave up for the moment. Of course, he kept an eye on the battle from outside in case he could use his attacks to change the flow of the fight.

Two days after the resume of the fight, the fight was well within all the armies. The experts from Garisan were easily distinguishable on one half of the battlefield, which was the same case for the armies from Lisan on the other side. Yet, no one noticed a shadow slyly flying in the center of the Garisan Army.

Hidden attacks were tried many times, so both sides had countermeasures for such problems. The moment hidden experts showed their presence, the Space-Time and Divinity Realm experts nearby would take them down together. And that was considering the hidden experts could hide from the enemies' senses at all. That said, such hidden attacks rarely happened, and although they made a huge impact, it was only momentarily. Neither side could take advantage of these moments.

However, the shadow moving unperceived in the middle of the Garisan Army had no intention of showing itself, nor did it intend to go for the fleet of airships in the background. All it wanted was to reach as close to the middle as possible. The chances of the expert hidden in the shadows being seen increased with every metter he moved forward, but the guy was determined to push as far as possible.

The war was in a heated moment with pretty much all experts deployed. Garisan was truly making a great effort to push all the way in at once and fully take advantage of their upper hand. That helped to deviate the attention of the higher realms experts in Garisan. This task was especially hard due to the Natural Spatial Perception of all experts at the Void Tempering Realm and above. It made it impossible for them to hide if they were too close to other similar experts.

*Slash!*

Suddenly, a blade of green light pierced through the void, opening cracks in space as it headed for an empty point in space.

*Bang!*

Yet, instead of passing through without impediment, an agglomeration of black energy appeared and blocked the blade. From within, a being made of Soul Energy took form as it looked back at the assailant.

"You have a lot of guts to appear in here," said a Peak Stage Divinity Realm expert from Garisan. He was from a race with a bloodline highly sensitive towards space displacements. Even though the shadow did its best to avoid the surrounding experts' Natural Spatial Perception, it couldn't escape this guy's bloodline ability. "But I will commend your concealment skills. Even I barely noticed your presence."

The shadow was none other than Rugo, Soul Gem's friend. The same guy who took Soul Gem away after Soul Gem's soul recovered. He was also an acquaintace from Kafan since he was a Death Spirit. The only Death Spirit to still live in the cultivation side of the Universe.

Rugo looked at the expert ahead. He was at the Late Stage of the Divinity Realm, a stage below the expert from Garisan in front of him. However, the expert from Garisan also had his Circuitry Formation Armor, which Rugo didn't get from Rean. Well, Rean's armors were quite worse compared to the ones from Garisan too.

Rugo sighed. The moment his presence was revealed, a swarm of experts from Garisan surrounded him. He would not be allowed to escape. Yet, Rugo wasn't concerned. "I thank you for the compliment. Garisan is much more advanced than us, so such words from you are worth being proud of. I'm already happy enough to have gotten this far. From here onwards, it wouldn't make much difference."

The Garisan Divinity Realm expert felt like something wasn't right. Rugo in front of him was too calm. "Are you planning to explode your core in the middle of our army? That would indeed take down quite a few members of our side, but it would be totally worth the loss if that meant you would die with it."

Rugo shook his head. "I don't have any intention of dying, and I am possibly the only one who isn't going to die in this place today. Anyway, it was good to meet you all."

The Garisan Expert saw a Black Pearl appearing in front of Rugo. Immediately, a terrifying feeling of death weighed on his head. "Stop him!" He cast thousands more of the same green blades and attacked Rugo.

The other experts surrounding Rugo didn't waste time and did the same thing. There were so many attacks in such a short time that Rugo most likely would never escape with his strength. However, he didn't pay attention to any of them. All he did was to break the pearl...

*Zuuummmm...*

As soon as the pearl was broken, another black shadow appeared. In a fraction of a second, it increased thousands of times in size, swallowing all the attacks at once. At the same time it did, a voice echoed in everyone's minds through Divine Sense. "Hungry..."
