Death... and me

Chapter 3589: Pretense

Shonror’s platform immediately reacted. The shield around it reappeared and shone brighter than ever, which confirmed Shonror wasn’t holding back this time.

No, that’s not correct. From the very start, no one there was truly using as much Divine Energy as they could. It’s just that Shonror was using even less, and that’s what created all the trouble earlier. They definitely could feed the platforms with even more Divine Energy per second if they wanted to. There was no need for it, though. Just that amount was enough for the sphere to fly faster than the wave approaching behind.

Everyone nodded, satisfied. They filled their platforms without a second thought, and the shields shone brightly for the entire team. The sphere obviously received it all. It moved once again, and this time, it reached a speed almost four times faster than before.

It goes without saying that all Divine Senses were spread, checking every platform to make sure no one was trying to pull everyone’s legs. Slowly, the wave grew further away, and the recently formed team sighed in relief.

However, their joy didn’t last long. Because of all the trouble earlier, they were exposed to the environment for a while. Just that short moment was enough for them to burn a lot of their energy reserves. The High Temperature and the Yang Energy definitely were no joke. They were even worse than the experts here thought at first.

"Look!" Kentucky pointed out, and everyone looked at the wave of molten metal.

The wave began to go down, losing its strength and settling in the molten ocean. It didn’t take long for it to disappear completely. They were now floating in the ’calm’ molten ocean like nothing had happened.

Meconth took the chance to bring out a not very good topic. "We need to start thinking about our energy reserves. Obviously, if we pour more Divine Energy into the platform, we will go faster, but the expenditure becomes much higher. It is not worth it. It might take longer, but we can definitely go further if we keep the feed of Divine Energy to just the necessary amount to protect ourselves."

Sesahi agreed with Meconth. "Indeed. We were traveling around four times faster just now as we ran from the wave, but we were definitely using at least six times more energy to achieve that speed."

"Let’s keep our stead speed then," Shonror joined, even though he could see the disdain on everyone’s faces. "Hmph! Looking at me like that won’t change shit. Had we not been trapped by this fucking sphere, I would have left a long time ago. Now, let’s think about what matters. How can we leave this Sphere? There might come a moment where staying inside the sphere’s range will actually be our doom."

As expected, the rest of the experts ignored Shonror’s sudden cooperative words and focused on that trouble instead. "We attacked the sphere, but we couldn’t damage it at all. We only lost even more energy."

’Sister Orb, is this thing operated through a formation?’ Rean asked through their connection.

[Yes,] and Sister Orb confirmed. [However, forget about hacking this shit. It’s at the Legendary Level. The system’s processing power got a lot higher with your last breakthroughs, but not to the point Legendary Level Formations can be hacked easily. If I start now, I will probably need a few years to succeed.]

’Talking about that,’ Roan asked out of curiosity, ’how long would it take if we were in the Divinity Realm?’

[Probably a few weeks in the Initial Stage of the Divinity Realm. The formation in this sphere is quite high-level, definitely higher than the Legendary Level Formations we found back in the Lisan Universe. If you were at the Peak Stage of the Divinity Realm, then it would be a few days.]

The rest of the experts didn’t hear that talk, obviously. They just discussed what to do with the sphere. "It seems like the more energy we feed it, the more it stores while it uses part of what we give it to move. Is all the extra energy really being used just to keep that invisible barrier?"

"Hard to say," Rerxes shook his head. "I’m a formations master, and I’m pretty sure this Sphere also has a formation inside. Depending on what was built in there, it might have other functionalities. It is worth investigating."

"How?" Xitaoi asked.

"By attempting other actions," Rerxes continued. "So far, we know that adding more Divine Energy to the platforms will increase the shield’s power and increase the sphere’s speed. What else is there? How about we try to pour our elements and then our laws into the platform? There might be other reactions."

It was a reasonable idea, but since no one knew what could happen, no one there seemed very willing to try it out. Well, it didn’t take long for several eyes to fall on the twins’ group.

"The spirit over there," Sesahi spoke to Royer. He was the only Divinity Realm, so it made sense they thought him to be the leader. "You have a lot of cannon fodder. Can’t you use one of them to test the elemental part? Have one of them pour their element inside the platform. I don’t care if you have to force them or not."

Royer bitterly smiled. Force them? He? Even if he was in his peak condition, he wouldn’t try such a suicidal move.

Yet, Rean’s voice echoed in his mind through Divine Sense. ’Just order me. If something happens, I’m the best suited to resist this environment of High Temperatures and Yang Energy.’

Truth be told, only the temperature really bothered Rean. He is both the epitome of Light Element and Yang Energy. The Yang Energy of this place, as harmful as it can be to others, caused him no issues whatsoever. This place’s Yang Energy was simply not in the same league as Rean’s.

"Very well," Royer nodded. He was happy he could put a pretense, and he also knew it was better if they continued to underestimate the twins’ group. "Rean, do as she said and pour your Light Element into the platform now."

"Yes, master." Rean felt like laughing but managed to hold back. Then, finally, his Light Element went into the Platform."
