Death… And Me Chapter 2777: Weakened State

Chapter 2777: Weakened State

At the same time that the Grape Vortex exploded, the sense of danger everyone kept feeling nonstop disappeared. It was as if it was never there to start with. "Is it over...?" Kafan asked, curious.

Even though everyone was so far away, it only took a few more seconds for the power of the explosion to reach them. Immediately, the Divinity Realm experts joined forces and created a barrier of Divine Energy that protected the experts with lower cultivation.

*Broommmm...*

The Divinity Realm Experts had a hard time holding the barrier, so the Semi-Celestials had to join them to reinforce it. Fortunately, the strongest impact was just at the beginning. Quickly, the power of the explosion began to die out. The Semi-Celesitals left it for the others to deal with and paid attention to the place where the Grape Vortex was previously.

*Zush, zush, zush, zush...*

They began to appear one after another near the place where the Grape Vortex was located. Now, all you could see was a distortion in s.p.a.ce with the help of Divine Sense. "What is that?" "It's not a black hole, that's for sure," Sophia commented. Semi-Celestials were able to even touch a Black Hole if they needed to. Once someone gets this kind of power, they get curious, so most of them would try to get close to a Black Hole at least once in their lives. Black Holes are places where all laws lose their meaning and physics turns strange. But then again, Semi- Celesitals are similar existences capable of altering the laws themselves. They used this power to get close to them when they reached that level. That said, they knew what kind of feeling a Black Hole gave more than anyone else.

Leandro looked at that and narrowed his eyes. "Toval, isn't that..."

Toval nodded on his side. "There is no doubt. It is a pa.s.sage connecting to the outside."

Everyone was taken aback. "Are you saying we are able to leave the Universe through this thing?"

"Is it that hard to believe?" Soul Gem intervened. "It is this kind of technology that allows others to get through the barrier of the Universes and invade them. The Ruins of the Stars could already do it even in its damaged state, let alone something so new like the Grape Vortex. Of course, this is only a remnant."

"Then..." Black Locust swallowed, "doesn't that mean we can escape this Universe now?"

Leandro heard that and snorted. "Sure. Go ahead."

Of course, Soul Gem knew exactly why Leandro said that. "Don't fall for his trap.

You truly have no idea what it means to be left adrift in the Great Void. Once you are out there, there is no coming back. You need to have a means of locating yourself. Otherwise, it is nothing but suicide. Even Semi-Celestials are no exception."

"Tch," Leandro clicked his tongue. "You can't just shut your mouth, can you?"

Soul Gem couldn't care less. "Still angry? I destroyed the Grape Vortex. Now, you still have a chance of acquiring the Chaos Origin Source in the future. You should be thanking me instead. Not that I will sit and just let you do it, though."

Soul Gem looked at everyone and gave a better explanation. "The Great Void is truly ridiculous. Do you think traveling from one side of our Universe to the other is a big distance? That is absolutely nothing. Even with the technology of Great Void Travel, it takes years to go from one Universe to another. You can go outside and travel around our Universe a billion times. That wouldn't be even 0.1% of the distance you need to travel to find the closest universes. And don't forget, Universes aren't easy to find. Chances are you will kill yourself after going crazy. You would be adrift in the middle of literally nothing for a time far bigger than your entire lives until this point. And that includes Kafan, who is the oldest."

Black Locust narrowed his eyes. Any intention of leaving this Universe disappeared as fast as the idea formed in his head. Not only him but everyone else who got the same idea a moment ago. Such a fate would truly be worse than death. It was better to not do such a thing unless absolutely necessary. "Then... how long will this thing stay open? And where is it connected to?"

"Who knows?" Soul Gem shook his head. "Usually, they can stay open for millions of years. It's just that it is impossible to tell where you would end. And one more warning, the Spatial Powers you will need to resist to go through this thing is absolutely ridiculously strong. Without the right technology, probably only the Semi-Celesitals would be able to make it to the other end of this portal."

Those words also wiped any idea from the heads of those with lower cultivations, too. For them, the portal was nothing but a dead end.

Kafan took a deep breath and changed the topic. "Forget it. The Grape Vortex is now gone, so we are safe."

"As if!" Leandro snorted. "We just dealt with the easiest method to get rid of ourselves. Did you forget? The Ruins of the Stars was already capable of stealing the Chaos Origin Source before. The guys waiting for us outside definitely have the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps and the means to steal the Chaos Origin Source in the old way. With the Grape Vortex gone, it will be time for the invasion."

"I hate to agree with him," said Soul Gem, "but he is right. If anything, we just made our guests angrier."

"The Celestial Realm guy..." Gragatou mentioned.

"He can't come inside," Soul Gem and Leandro a.s.sured. "However, we have a bigger problem." The two of them began to look around.

The others followed their gazes and quickly noticed that the laws of the places seemed quite chaotic. s.p.a.ce itself was a lot more fragile. "Is it the effect of the Grape Vortex?"

"Yes," Leandro nodded. "We destroyed it, but it certainly left its mark. Our Chaos Origin Source must be in a quite weakened state now."
