Death... and me

On that same day, Rean and Roan decided (were forced by Kafan) to try their merge and see what it would be like. Sure enough, they went up one stage in cultivation, reaching the Middle Stage of the Divinity Realm in power even though they hadn't merged any laws yet.

What truly was impressive was that Rion fought Kafan once again to test their merged body power. In the end, Kafan had to concede. The tempering the twins got from Purple Energy was truly game-changing. Their Body was much stronger, their Dantian Energy Pool was bigger than Kafan's in that state, and they could even use some of the Celestial Laws in their bodies to support their moves.

In the end, Kafan reached a conclusion. "I can guarantee. The only ones who can defeat the two of you in this Universe are the Semi-Celestials. And that is only while they are sacrificing their comprehension to increase their power. I didn't hold back just now, and I still came out on the losing side."

Rean, now separated from Roan, was also impressed with their strength while in the merged form. "We wouldn't be able to defeat you straight away, but we did indeed have the advantage."

Roan knew better. "We aren't used to that form. With such a huge advantage in total energy in our Dantain, we should have finished our fight against Master much earlier. But we will get used to it eventually."

Kafan was especially satisfied. "It is a good thing since I can't stay for much longer anyway. I need to go back to the other side of the Universe and gather some of my Death Spirits."

Even during the fight at the Univese Foundation Pillar, Kafan was the only Death Spirit present other than Rugo. Of course, Rugo already lived in the cultivation side of the Universe and was Soul Gem's protector, so it made sense he was there.

The same couldn't be said regarding the other Death Spirits. They were all on the side of the Universe where you don't have cultivation energies. There were quite a few Divinity Realm Death Spirits there, so they were definitely a force worth bringing to this side for the next war.

"Why didn't you bring them earlier?" Kentucky asked, puzzled.

"Two reasons," Kafan responded. "The first one was that I didn't know if Garisan would attack that side of the Universe. If that happened, we had to have someone there to hold the fort while we brought reinforcements. I would rather not do that since I would need to reveal how to cross to the other side, which no one knows other than us. Well, and Romario, with his special manipulation of Spatial Powers."

"The second reason was to have some reserves," Kafan continued. "If the Garisan Universe truly ignored that side of the Universe, then there would be no need for my Death Spirits on that side anymore. Garisan probably thinks they have an idea about how many Space-Time and Divinity Realm experts we still have left here. The sudden addition of my Death Spirits will definitely work to our advantage."

Roan approved Kafan's actions. Those were all good reasons and the Death Spirits would indeed play a surprise factor later. "Master, I didn't ask you before since I didn't have a need to know. Just how many Space-Time and Divinity Realm Death Spirits do you have in the Universal Transition Organization?"

"Hum... last time I counted, we had 47 Divinity Realm Death Spirits and 369 Space-Time Realm ones," Kafan spoke while thinking about his organization.

Everyone there was left speechless! "THAT MANY?!"

Kafan faintly smiled. "Well, our cultivation, as you know, works differently on that side. We use Death Energy instead of cultivation energies. They are very useful for Death Spirits like us. However..."

Roan could guess what Kafan was going to say. "They are in a similar situation to the Leviathans, am I right?"

"Yes," Kafan nodded and sighed. "We don't have enemies to fight against on the other side. So, when you consider pure combat strength, they are definitely beneath the expert of the same cultivation level on this side. That's why I can't stay for long. I want to bring them to this side and have them train for the next years before Garisan attacks, just like the Leviathans."

"Then we should go to the Heavens straight away and finish our exchange," Rean spoke. [Won't you use your Destiny Points first? That was the idea initially before the Tribulation appeared, no?]

"Better not," Roan agreed with Rean on that. "We might need Master's help since the last fragment is the requirement for the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade. If we need the help of Semi-Celestials, it will be good if Master is there as well. Let's not waste any more of his time."

Everyone accepted the plan before Rean and Kafan exited the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. From there, Kafan contacted Soul Gem, who already knew they were going to the Heavens. The plan was basically the same one used to acquire the Fragments from the Devils, after all.

Outside the Universe, Flavio was still recovering from the injuries he received from the Tribulation in the medical bay. He was immersed in a greenish liquid as many doctors took care of him. The Purple Energy rampaged inside his body, which he found very hard to eliminate. Even if things went as he planned, he probably wouldn't recover before a few weeks of rest at least. And that was already considering all the advanced equipment available in his spaceship.

*Zam!*

A door in the medical opened, and a man entered in a hurry. "Senior Flavio, I've brought it." Flavio opened his eyes from inside the pod and used his Divine Sense to speak. 'Show the results.'

The man nodded and connected the device to one of the big screens in the medical bay. Immediately, the results were shown for everyone to see. However, other than Flavio, no one else understood what they were seeing. That's because such information would only make sense in the eyes of a Celestial Realm expert like Flavio himself.
