Re:Immortal - Chapter 158
The group seemed to have different reactions to Dina’s work. Addi looked impressed throughout the entire ordeal as he watched attentively, Krano and Beri seemed unbothered as they looked with an indifferent expression with Rolus standing respectfully without moving the entire time behind Krano, while Lacess even closed his eyes lazily on the floor.
Tizzy and Silas appeared more concerned with the results of her work while Omis had an unfathomable expression on his face. His gaze not betraying a hint of his emotions.
He thought that it would be hard to watch the entire process, yet surprisingly he found himself indifferent to it all. Dina certainly knew what she was doing, it did not take long before the male cultivator started talking yet she did not stop, in fact, she seemed to have been enjoying the entire situation quite more than he might have anticipated.
In the middle of the cell was the now half-dead bloody cultivator, his eyes were sunken in his face looked empty almost devoid of emotion as he stared blankly ahead.
The wall that bound the cultivator was now completely caked in blood, Dina was thorough in her ‘work’, she did not only extract information from him, but she also took advantage of the situation to ‘study’ his body in details.
She then came to the conclusion that he was indeed a mortal with a finite lifespan, the cultivation method he followed was completely different from that they were familiar with and the energy he seemed to be cultivating was also different.
Finished with her work, Dina then gracefully removed the gloves in her hands before summoning a small flame that burned them completely before stepping outside of the cell and towards the rest of the group.
“What do you guys think?” She asked with a frown. The information she managed to gather was even bigger than any of them had anticipated as everyone remained silent for a few seconds trying to digits it.
According to the captured cultivator, he alongside with the woman that accompanied him were elders of a sect called the Primal Star sect that was located hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from their realm.
The reason they were spying on them was that they apparently were looking for a way to sneak inside the realm without alerting the ‘Divine’ who Omis and the rest called the ‘Hunters’.
The ‘Hunters’ or the ‘Divine’ as they seemed to prefer being called were a part of an even larger prominent clan in the outside universe, and they had apparently laid claim to their universe prohibiting any of the other sects and clans from attempting to make a move against it.
At first, no one of the prominent sects and clans from the outside universe bothered with the ‘Divine’s’ decision for they held quite the power as one of the top factions of the universe.
Them laying claim to a small realm was nothing noteworthy, everything changed however when a certain rumor began to spread. The seemingly small and insignificant realm apparently held the secrets to Immortality! With its native residents being able to cultivate in some strange methods and energy that allowed them to achieve what was considered impossible by everyone in the Universe, Immortality!
Although no one knew how the rumor began to spread, it was enough to cause almost all the other factions and countless of smaller sects and clans to turn mad with greed.
Immortality was something every cultivator pursuit, apparently although when one reached the level of the elder foreign cultivator from the Primal Star sect, their lifespan would reach thousands of years but they were still not Immortal, there will still cole a day when they would end up returning to the dust and merging with the universe.
Hence the news of a small realm that contained the secrets to Immortality brought waves of chaos to the universe as a massive war ensued. Countless factions banded together to attack the ‘Divine’ who was considered as one of the top powerhouses of the Universe.
The scale of the war was apparently so big that countless planets and stars ended up collapsing from the intensity of some battles. Surprisingly, even with numerous powerhouses of the Universe banding together to fight against them, the ‘Divine’ still managed to fend them off albeit with a price as they suffered heavy casualties to their ranks.
The fight was still ongoing, though the ‘Divine’ were able to push the frontline of the battle away from their realm which meant that Omis and the rest were safe from the aftermath.
The scale of the battles was now significantly smaller than before as both sides needed time to recuperate their forces, which effectively meant that Omis’s realm was somewhat safe for now against outside raids besides the ‘Divine’.
And since even they had their hands tied trying to hold back their attackers, this meant that Omis and the group had a chance to fight back since the ‘Divine’ were unable to send their best fighters and elders to attack them.
“What about her?” Suddenly asked Dina as she pointed at the shivering bound woman cultivator.
She had a fear-stricken expression on her face as her body shuddered uncontrollably. The screams of despair and agony of her companion were still fresh in her ears.
He had already spilled all the beans and told the monsters everything they wanted to know, what use was she for then?
Her mouth trembled as she opened her lips to try and plead for mercy. “P-Please” her voice came out as nothing but a soft whisper.
Omis glanced at her and then at Krano who shook his head and shrugged his shoulders indicating his disinterest, before he to turned to look at Dina.
“I think there’s no problem if you keep her, I’m sure you’ll find a better use for her anyways.” He said.
Tizzy and Addi simply nodded while Silas remained silent. Hearing his response and seeing how no one seemed to be interested in disagreeing, a wide smile bloomed on Dina’s face as she turned to glance at the captive cultivator with a predatory smile.
“Oh dear, i’ll definitely find a good use for her.” She said with a grin causing shivers to run down the female cultivator’s spine.
