Death… And Me

Chapter 3212: New Worms



Opening a gate between the outside and inside world wasn't difficult. The twins had done it countless times in the past. It's just that, usually, there was no need for such things. They could simply teleport inside the Dimensional Realm and teleport others around them there,

too.

Unfortunately, teleporting others required their cooperation, which Diliy obviously wouldn't offer. So... the gate to the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm opened again after so many years. All Rean's group had to do was make sure Diliy's attention was 100% on them.

Diliy couldn't fight against the inertia, ultimately only stopping when he was already inside the Dimensional Realm. He quickly tried to come out, but it was too late. The gate closed, and he was trapped inside. Without another choice, he immediately squeezed the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian, trying to self-destruct!

...

...

Unfortunately for him, nothing happened. "What is happening here?!"

In the next second, Diliy completely lost control over all his Spiritual Energy and even his own body. Only a sense of dread remained as he found himself unable to even suicide there. That's to be expected. Inside the Dimensional Realm, Sister Orb is god! If she doesn't want you to do something, you won't do it.

*Zush, zush, zush...*

Foliana and the others soon appeared, stopping right in front of Diliy.

Foliana was the most curious one. "Oh! So this is what a Pocket Dimensional Realm looks like? Do you think I can have one of these in the future, Rean?"

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in response. "But of course! Don't worry. I will teach you how to make one when you reach the Void Tempering Realm."

Rean then glanced to the side. "By the way, Roan, I thought you wouldn't intervene. Why the sudden change of mind?"

"You were taking too long. That's all," Roan answered coldly.

Rean shrugged but didn't bother refuting Roan's words. Roan spent quite some time with Diliy, and it was indeed, thanks to Diliy, that he also managed to understand the Fifth Stage of Weapon Intents. He might not say it, but he did hold some gratitude for the man and decided to lend a hand at the very end.

Rean then approached Diliy, who couldn't move at the moment. He only allowed him to speak. "So, master. How have you been?"

"Evil Spawn! How dare you go against the will of the Inquisition Hall and the Werdlem Empire?! Release me immediately!" Diliy spoke with hate in his eyes.

Rean couldn't help but sigh, knowing that this guy definitely wasn't the real Diliy. The real Diliy cared more about his sword than anything else, even more than any Werdlem Empire or Inquisition Hall. "Well, let's see what I can find. Sister Orb, you too, give it a check."

[No problem.] Sister Orb quickly joined Rean.

Rean sent his Spiritual Sense and Light Element into Diliy's soul while Sister Orb also sent her senses in there. Soon, they seemed to have found what they were looking for.

"Can you see it?" Rean asked.

[Yes,] Sister Orb noticed the same thing. [There is some kind of... just what is this? Energy? I thought that their free will was being controlled by some kind of soul power, but that is not the case.]

Rean agreed. "Indeed. It almost seems mechanical, although it is made of Divine Energy Runes. And it's wriggling around..."

Soon, Rean and Sister Orb had the same idea.

"Soul Worms?" Rean asked.

[It does act like it, doesn't it?] Sister Orb followed. [It's just that it isn't made with Soul Power.]

Back in Lisan, Rean's Father, Romario, used Soul Worms to take control over the Angel Races in the Heavens. In the end, the twins found the cure and the angels were set free. The Soul Worms were considered flawed, and they only worked that well on the angels because Lisan was an isolated Universe. Had Lisan been part of the various other powers of the Great Void, the Soul Worms inside the Angel's Souls would never have lasted that long.

"I guess we should call this an upgrade of the Soul Worms then," Rean said as he continued to analyze that thing inside Diliy's Soul. "Sister Orb, take this chance and check Foliana as well. I know that her bloodline should have destroyed it straight away, but let's make sure she is truly free."

Sister Orb's sense immediately entered Foliana's Soul. Since she knew what she was looking for, it would be easy to verify. [An incredible bloodline indeed. It is even trying to destroy my senses when I try to check her soul. Too bad it is meaningless inside my Dimensional Realm. Let's see...]

Foliana seemed to suffer a headache, her bloodline acting against Sister Orb's push. She didn't complain, though. Perhaps there was still something there that she didn't know, so it was a good opportunity for Foliana herself to check if she was truly fine as she believed to be. [Done! Yes, her soul is perfectly fine. If this Soul Worm or whatever it was had entered her soul in the past, her bloodline completely destroyed it.]

Rean smiled as he continued to look into Diliy's soul. "Great!"

Sister Orb and Rean didn't eliminate the Soul Worm in Diliy's Soul straight away. It was a Soul Worm that didn't use Soul Power in its constitution. Truly a marvel to behold. Rean and Sister Orb wanted to have a very good idea of what it was before acting against it. That would be very helpful in the future.

Diliy tried his best to do something, but he simply couldn't go against the Celestial Soul System's power. In the end, he was forced into an unconscious state as Rean and Sister Orb

worked.

Around three hours later, Rean opened his eyes again. "Alright, I have an idea of how it works. No wonder only the most important members of the Inquisition Hall have these Soul Worms inside. Making one of these things is truly complicated. The Divine Energy Runes are very intricate and capable of acting with every single part of their host's soul. This is not something you can easily get access to in a Mortal World at all. Also... it is pretty sure in my eyes that this thing in Diliy's soul is not the final product. However, because this is the Mortal Realm and you would at most find Transition Realm experts, this incomplete thing just happens to be enough."

[Indeed. However, now that we have an example to work with...]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Zangeshu immediately jumped in, his eyes as cold as Roan's. "We can make a device to detect

the existence of these Soul Worms."

Rean nodded. "We can indeed. Let's call them Werdlem Soul Worms, so we understand when

dealing with them in the future. Sister Orb, pull it out. I will support you with my Light Element so the damage in Diliy's Soul is minimal."

[Alright! Let's start.]
