Death... and me - Chapter 2955: The Great Separation

2955 The Great Separation

Later, Roan met Rean in the restaurant. The contest finished at midnight and the meeting with the queen another hour. After that, Roan spent several hours looking for th Salite Root before he was called by Karev. By now, it was already close to Midday, and they had to go to the hotel to meet with Foliana.

“Here, take it,” Roan threw one of the bracelets to Rean.

Rean caught it, quickly checking it with his Spiritual Sense. “Oh, so that’s the trick behind it, uh?”

“Can you replicate it?” Roan asked, curious.

Rean pondered a bit and immediately shook his head. “The runes are so small that my level of Spiritual Sense simply doesn’t allow me to get a full grasp of them. But I do understand what it is doing. The oscillation runes interact directly with the Werdlem Stone in our bodies. No doubt this bracelet has the same origin.”

Roan narrowed his eyes. “Doesn’t that mean they are useless for us? We aren’t using the Werdlem Stones, after all.”

“It matters not,” Rean shook his head. “What it interacts with is the energy of the Werdlem Stone, and the system is emulating the same type of energy. The bracelet is also useful for this since it thinks our energy is coming through the Werdlem Stone.”

Roan heard that and quickly took out the octagonal object. Yet, it didn’t shine with red light like it did before. “Seems like you are right. What about the other issue?”

Rean nodded. “Yes, it does have a tracker, and the tracker was added recently, no doubt. It would be a little complicated, but I think I can deactivate it. Should I do it?”

‘No,’ Foliana shook her head. ‘The space between Universes of the Werdlem Empire is still called the Great Void. It’s just that this isn’t the same Great Void as the one before the Separation. As far as it is written, the Werdlem Empire Universes exist in a completely different plane. As to what it means, I’m afraid I have no idea.’

‘Well, I don’t know any map of the great void. Such a thing probably only exists in the Higher Realms,’ Foliana explained. ‘However, there is an event in history that makes such information pretty much useless.’

‘Oh?’ The twins’ interest was picked. ‘Tell us more.’

Foliana nodded. She loved to speak about history. ‘It happened a long time ago to the point that there isn’t really a precise time in the databases. Well, at least not in the ones available for the public. In any case, the event I’m talking about was the Great Separation.’

Those words immediately reminded Rean and Roan of the story they had heard from Soul Gem. Soul Gem didn’t know much about the Werdlem Empire, but he did know the Werdlem Empire had suddenly disappeared one day. For some reason, their own Universe had three treasures related to this same Empire.

Foliana knew nothing about that and simply continued speaking. ‘According to the history in the databases, the Werdlem Empire had grown to become the greatest power of the Great Void. However, being the strongest also means being the target of everyone else. As strong as the Werdlem Empire might be, if all the other known Universes in the Great Void were to join forces to destroy it, they would be able to do so.’

‘That said, the Imperial Family decided to simply leave the Great Void and bring all Universes under its command with it,’ Foliana couldn’t help but feel excited when talking about it. ‘Can you imagine that? The Werdlem Imperial Family had the means to move entire Universes away! How ridiculous was that?’

Rean nodded. ‘Alright, so we are not in the Great Void anymore?’

‘No,’ Foliana shook her head. ‘The space between Universes of the Werdlem Empire is still called the Great Void. It’s just that this isn’t the same Great Void as the one before the Separation. As far as it is written, the Werdlem Empire Universes exist in a completely different plane. As to what it means, I’m afraid I have no idea.’

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. 😉
