Death... and me

As they were the closest, Kafan's group was the first one to experience the collapse of space and time in the surroundings. The three of them quickly surrounded themselves with Divine Energy and used their own Space and Time powers to prevent the collapse from affecting themselves and Roan.

"You are repairing the pillar? Already?" Huban asked, seeing the crack in space increasing while the Integration Pillar became more and more visible.

"Where is Soul Gem? Wasn't he supposed to be the one doing it?" Gragatou asked as well.

"No need to lie at this point anymore," Kafan spoke. "Soul Gem was indeed the one who created the method to join both sides, but it is my disciple and his brother who need to carry the plan out. Roan is on this side of the Universe while Rean is on the other side. Both of them act as links between the two sides, and we need to keep them alive so that the merging can happen."

"Fuck!" Gragatou didn't like to be told that so late. "Once this shit is over, you better give me a full explanation."

Huban was more worried about the collapse. "This thing is no joke, Kafan. This collapse of space and time powers has already surpassed my Divine Sense's range. How far will it spread?"

"The entire Universe, including my side." Kafan didn't hide.

"WHAT?!" Gragatou and Huban were shocked. "We need to go back to protect our people in the Realm of Gods."

"No need," Kafan assured them. "The Realm of Gods is safe. What is happening here won't affect the Realm of Gods."

"Hyeoumu," Kafan spoke the name. "He will be forced to protect himself, so the Realm of Gods is fine. Just trust me on that. Stay with me to make sure Roan is safe."

Gragatou and Huban had their doubts, but they admitted Hyeoumu most likely wouldn't just do nothing as his own body was ripped apart by the collapse. It made sense that he would protect himself. "What about the Heavens and Underworld?"

"They will have to protect themselves." Kafan sighed in response.

While Gragatou and Huban helped protect Roan and asked more questions, things were going according to the plan on both sides.

Rean was also feeling the pressure of the connection between him and the Soul Gem System's attempt to repair both sides. He felt like his body was about to explode and had to use all his strength to keep himself together. No more than a minute had gone by, and yet he still had ten hours to go.

Romario was by his side, feeling worried. He enveloped Rean with his own Spatial and Time powers. Some of the Death Spirits Kafan spoke about were also there, giving him support. Kafan's orders were absolute to the Death Spirits, so none of them made any question.

"Rean, can you do it?" Romario couldn't help but ask, seeing Rean's condition.

With difficulty, Rean nodded slightly. He couldn't even talk at the moment.

Things continued like that for several minutes on both sides. The same crack in space could be seen from Rean's side of the Universe. Those who looked inside could see an absolutely terrifying amount of Chaos Energy and Laws flowing out and dispersing around the Universe. That energy wasn't really being used in the entire Universe, though. In fact, it was being completely absorbed the the Universe Foundation Pillar. As mentioned before, no one could get close to the Foundation Pillar. Nonetheless, they all could feel that the Universe Foundation Pillar seemed to be growing in power and causing even more chaos with the collapse of space and time.

In the Heavens, a message was urgently passed to all the angels at the Void Tempering Realm and above, telling them to protect as many of their members as possible.

The same thing happened in the Underworld. It's just that Devils usually cared more about themself than anyone else, so the losses happening there were much higher.

The Realm of Gods was indeed the only place that seemed to be the same at the moment. Hyeoumu had a terrifying expression on his face as he used his ridiculous amount of energy to shield himself from the collapse. 'Fuck! Couldn't they have warned me ahead of time before they attempted to join both sides?! I'll definitely give Soul Gem's brats a beating later!' From the looks of it, even Hyeoumu didn't find it easy to stop the collapse from affecting him and the Realm of Gods on his back.

Back on the twins' side, the Integration Pillar began to exit the crack. It was leaving the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. The Light and Dark, Yin and Yang inside it were being fuelled by the Chaos Energy and Laws it had absorbed. It kept coming out and using its connection with the fragments to merge itself with the real Universe Foundation Pillar.

Yet, when the Pillar began to make its way out, the system immediately warned the twins.

As that happened, Kafan and Romario's groups saw something unbelievable. The world around them began to collapse as well. However, it wasn't as simple as just the space and time being destroyed. No, they felt deep in their souls how the very existence of things were being completely erased.

"What the hell is this?!" Gragatou felt like running straight away. And yet, his body couldn't

even more.

"Don't worry," Kafan was also feeling scared, but he knew what it was. "This is going to stop in a moment."

The Soul Gem System quickly removed 100 points from the twins' balance and activated. In the next moment, a barrier of white and dark light enveloped Rean and Roan's group, blocking the Universe Restraint completely. The Restraint continued for a minute or so until it finally dissipated as if it had never happened.

Of course, that was only the start.
