"What about you, senior Soul Gem?"
Soul Gem smiled as he thought about it. "What else? I'm still the leading Formations Master in this endeavor to prepare against Garisan. I'm also working on the armors from Garisan, trying to remove or circumvent their DNA bounding restrictions. I only came out to help you acquire the Fragments. Now that you did, I have nothing to do here anymore."
"There are many things you can do here, you know?" Rean insisted. "The Circuitry Formation Repository is definitely helpful."
"For that, at least one of the twins will have to come with me so I can get access all the time. Otherwise, we will have to part ways here." Soul Gem explained.
*Pin!*
[A New option is now available in the upgrade and reward list.]
The twins were immediately taken aback by those words.
"What the hell?!"
"Hum?" Everyone looked at them, puzzled.
"Wait here a moment, guys," Rean asked before he and Roan disappeared.Without wasting time, the twins touched Sister Orb and accessed the new list.
[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Representatives - 30 Celestial Points each.]
"Representatives?" The twins looked at Sister Orb.
[Oh! The system gave you quite a useful skill, I have to say. Basically, the representative can access the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm from anywhere in the Lisan Universe and bring anyone he wants inside and out.]
"Isn't that a little dangerous?" Rean couldn't help but think about it.
[Why would it?] Sister Orb instantly assured them. [Did you forget? In this Dimensional Realm, I, AM, GOD! Hahaha! Even if a Celestial Realm expert suddenly appears inside, he won't be able to move a muscle if I don't let him do so! You can delegate as many representatives as you want. It is completely safe.]
Roan narrowed his eyes. "It had been quite a long time since the system created a new upgrade based on our necessities."
Rean agreed with him. The last time it happened was back when the twins got Hex inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Sister Orb and Hex worked together and ultimately succeeded in creating the Time Accelerating Formation option in the list. That was the last time they managed to influence the system directly to create a new upgrade.
Yet, they had to put in the effort for that to happen during that time. Now, however, Soul Gem just mentioned that he would need one of the twins, and the system suddenly created a new option. Wasn't it a little too easy?
[Well, if I were to guess, I would say the reason it was this simple was because of the 'Lisan Owners' title. That allows you to stay connected regardless of distance as long as you two are still inside the Lisan Universe.]
"I see..." Rean felt it made sense. "This Representative is nothing but a branch of the abilities we acquired with the title. It isn't exactly completely new."
[Yes,] Sister Orb thought the same. [That's why it appeared so easily like this. Of course, this is just a theory. Perhaps we can do some more tests another time.]
Roan didn't mind. "Another time, then. We have more things to do now. Let's go outside."
Finally, the twins reappeared outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Following that, they used their Divine Sense to tell everyone there what happened.
"Is there such a thing?" Soul Gem's eyes lit up. "Then, by all means, get someone to follow me."
There was a problem, though. "The issue is that it costs 30 Celestial Points," Roan commented.
"Well, 27 points, actually," Rean added. Their 'Leviathan's Liberator' Title was still active, and they had a Leviathan living inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. That would always give the twins a 10% discount on all upgrades.
"It is still worth it," Kentucky commented on the side. "I know you want to keep it for the Cultivation Unbalance Domain. However, having just one representative means we can move between three different sides of the Universe in the blink of an eye. As good as the Unbalance Domain is, this strategical advantage should surpass it."
Roan pondered a bit and finally made his decision. "The chicken is right."
"Fuck you and your chicken!" Kentucky retorted.
Too bad Roan completely ignored him. "The only question is who we should make the representative."
"Isn't that obvious?" Rean already selected someone. "Soul Gem created the system, after all. It is only natural he gets access to it."
Roan and everyone else agreed with Rean. Soul Gem would be the one to make the most of this ability since he could use the Circuitry Formation Repository simulator while working with the other experts of the Universe.
However, Soul Gem immediately refused. "Forget it. I don't want to be a representative." "You... don't?" Everyone around got puzzled. Shouldn't he be the most excited one to get it? "This is an ability very useful, and at the moment, I would indeed be the best choice, but it is just now. I don't intend to stay in this Universe forever. If we truly acquire the status of a Vassal Universe, I'm leaving," he explained. "Don't ask me why. I have my reasons." Those words reminded Romario of a certain doubt he had. Soul Gem managed to get access to the Grape Vortex, but for that, he would need the cryptographic key once he hacked the signal. He never understood how Soul Gem acquired such a thing. No doubt only the Garisan Forces higher-ups, like the Celestial Realm Expert called Flavio, would have such a thing. Now, hearing Soul Gem wanted to leave at some point didn't feel quite right.
But then again, Soul Gem asked the twins to not use him as the representative, so it was hard to believe Soul Gem had any ill intentions towards the twins or this Universe. 'I better stay
quiet for now...'
Everyone wanted to know Soul Gem's reason, but everyone had their secrets, so none of them insisted. "Since that's the case, who should we use? Kafan, perhaps?"
"Master definitely won't take it," Roan spoke. "I know him."
"Someone trustworthy, with enough strength to protect himself and to follow Soul Gem
without causing trouble but helping instead..."
Immediately, everyone looked at Luan.
"What? Me?" Luan was taken aback for a moment.
"Do you think you are up to the task?" Roan asked with a serious expression. "Because of this status, perhaps you might get targeted in the future. You might be in true danger."
Luan thought about it for a moment and nodded without a hint of doubt. "Yes, father! I can do
it."
Roan and the others smiled in response. "So it is decided. Soul Gem, my disciple will follow
you."
Soul Gem just laughed. "Hahaha! Welcome to my team."
