Chapter 546 - Take Everyone!
Rean and Roan immediately stopped what they were doing.
'What?!'
Not long after, Rean and Roan felt some kind of power similar to the one used to move them into the Dimensional Realm. Following that, they looked at the sky and saw giant silver swirls forming.
'This... Isn't it the same energy as the ones used when we move in and out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm?'
'That's not all. This isn't just something happening in the sky. It's a phenomenon happening in outer space. However, it's so big that we can't see from this point.'
However, the system ignored their surprise and continued to release information.
[Warning! The enemy is about to use a super long-distance teleport formation to send an attack at the Soul Gem System's location. Enemy's attack is predicted to be in the next 13 seconds.]
Rean and Roan didn't know what to say? Enemy? What enemy? And what is this attack the Soul Gem System is talking about?
'Sister Orb, what's happening?'
However, Sister Orb didn't answer this time. It was as if she was gone from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
[The Counter Measure Protocol is fully activated. Planet's location is too dangerous—reallocation of system and hosts necessary. All the actual missions have been canceled. Any penalties and bonuses have been negated. Gathering energy for super long-distance emergency teleport.]
The twins felt a chill on their backs. Does that mean their mission to make Calina the Empress was gone, just like that? But then again, they wouldn't be killed if they failed that either, right? However, there was also the reward in Destiny Points that they would get if they succeeded, which was now gone.
Still, the twins cared little about any of that at the moment. In their minds, there was just one question. Just where is the Soul Gem System sending them to?
They weren't the only ones to see the swirl in the sky either. All the cultivators and ordinary people of the world could see the same thing. That's how big it really was. Following that, the eyes of the silver swirl began to shine with a bright red light.
Of course, the twins noticed that as well.
'Is that thing aiming at us? What will happen to the sect if it lands here?'
However, the twins were being way too naive as to what was happening outside the planet. Though, the Soul Gem System woke them up to the reality of the situation.
[Warning! Warning! Total planetary destruction imminent. Now increasing rate of Spiritual Energy absorption to the maximum level!]
'Pl-Planet destruction?!'
Rean fell on his knees when he heard that. Is such a thing really possible? It's an entire planet that they're talking about, you know?
However, Roan was more worried about whether they would escape this crisis or not. As for anything else, he could think about that after they left this place alive.
All of that happened in just four to five seconds since the Soul Gem System's first warning.
All of a sudden, all the Spirit Stones in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm had disappeared. Not only that, be it the treasure of the Dalamu Sect or the cultivator's own possessions, anything in over a thousand kilometers that had any Spiritual Energy at all was siphoned dry by the Soul Gem System. Of course, none of them had time to worry about that since they could see what was happening in the sky. Only Rean and Roan knew what that thing meant, though.
However, Rean quickly recovered from his stupor and immediately shouted at the Soul Gem System.
'Soul Gem System! Use all the destiny points available and stop the attack!'
However, the system completely ignored Rean's words.
[Super Long-Distance Emergy Teleport, 70% charged. Estimated to be ready in 6 seconds. Attack estimated to arrive in 8 seconds. Initializing circuitry teleport sequence.]
'What?! That can't be!'
However, Roan immediately shouted back at Rean.
'Shut up! Pull whoever's close to you into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.'
Roan suddenly flashed away as fast as he could in Calina and Malaka's direction.
'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'
'Death Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!'
His speed exploded in a fraction of a second. Calina and Malaka had just left his side a few minutes ago, so he might be able to get them in time. Immediately, he spread his Spiritual Sense as far as he could, aiming to contact Calina and Malaka earlier and make them run in his direction as well.
Rean was taken aback by Roan's words and gritted his teeth. The only person close enough to him at the moment was Qia, who came back to the room to change clothes. Although Rean and Calina didn't have any 'married couple' things going on, they still lived in the same place to keep up appearances. It's just that they slept in different rooms.
*Bam!*
Suddenly, Rean barged through Qia Room's door, catching the sight of the naked girl once again. Because the events were happening outside, Qia hadn't noticed it yet. Naturally, she was frightened by Rean's sudden appearance.
"Ah! What are you doing?!"
However, Rean didn't have time to explain.
He immediately pounced at Qia while using his Enhancement and Roan's Shadow Steps. In these eight years in the natural formation, Rean had reached the same level of cultivation as Qia. However, he was obviously much stronger and faster than her when exchanging elements with Roan. That being said, Qia couldn't dodge at all as he grabbed her. She was just about to scream when suddenly, she received Rean's Spiritual Sense message.
'We're being attacked! Don't ask anything. You will feel some kind of suction power enveloping your body, don't try to resist it. All I ask from you is to trust me.'
Qia's eyes opened wide as she looked at Rean. It was then that she noticed how desperate he looked. It was obvious that whatever is happening must be hurting him a lot. It wasn't the expression of someone who was trying to take advantage of her. She immediately calmed down as she felt the suction power that Rean talked about around her body.
'I trust you.'
Rean was taken aback at that moment as he looked at Qia's smiling face, leaving her entire being for him to take care of. In the next second, Qia's body disappeared from the surface of the planet.
[Warning! Five seconds until the planet's destruction. Circuitry Formation 90% charged. Circuitry Teleport Sequence completed. Read for teleportation once energy is acquired.]
Rean understood he didn't have time anymore. Immediately, he spread his Spiritual Sense, trying to catch the presence of anyone around his Qia's room. Surprisingly, he found someone he couldn't expect at all. Still, he gritted his teeth as his Black Star appeared in his hand.
'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'
Rean then shot through the room's wall, just in time to see the red light in the skies increasing in brightness. From the looks of it, the attack the Soul Gem System talked about had already been teleported to their solar system and was coming down to their planet. Still, Rean ignored that as he used his full speed to attack the person in front of him with the side of his sword, Black Star.
The person was too focused on what was happening in the sky that he didn't notice Rean's presence at first. By the time he heard the wall breaking down on his side, Rean's sword was already at the back of his neck. Still, he wasn't just anyone, so he tried to defend by using his Spiritual Energy to create a Spiritual Energy Barrier on the point of the attack.
*Bam!*
However, Rean didn't hold back at all either, so that person was still heavily knocked down as his vision went blurry. He couldn't tell right from left since his mind was disorientated from the attack's impact.
Rean looked at that and was surprised as well. He didn't expect that this guy would be able to defend against his attack in such a last-minute fashion. Still, he noticed that the guy had lost his bearings, which was enough for Rean. Immediately, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm's suction power enveloped the guy, quickly pulling him inside as well.
Rean looked around to see if he could bring anyone else. Unfortunately, there wasn't time anymore.
[Circuitry Teleport Charge completed. Initializing Soul Gem System Teleport.]
Against Rean's will, he was brought inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. There, he immediately fell on the others' side. He wasn't the only one, though. Roan also appeared inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm at the same time. In his arms, one could see Calina and Malaka, who couldn't understand what was happening at all.
Last but not least, a confused Kentucky appeared inside of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, much to Rean and Roan's surprise since they weren't close to Kentucky to start with.
The Soul Gem System then activated the teleport sequence. Silver light gathered all around the place before the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm reappeared outside of the planet. Rean and Roan used their authority to make the Dimensional Realm's barrier look like a clear window that showed the outside world. They had done that in the past to watch the surroundings, so it wasn't anything new.
Everyone then saw the planet in front of them. However, what really caught their attention was the ray of red light that was several times the planet's size making its way there.
Before they could breathe even once, the red light hit the planet at a frightening speed. Because they were in space, there was no sound whatsoever. However, they saw how the planet in front of them was suddenly decimated in less than a second.
Malaka, Calina, Qia, and the new guy didn't really understand what they were seeing. Still, they could connect the dots once they thought about the red light they saw in the sky before appearing in this place. Seeing Roan and Rean's expressions had also confirmed their fears. However, the system ignored that as it announced.
[Circuitry Teleport Sequence Stage One completed. Now setting up coordinates. Coordinates confirmed. Activating Teleport Sequence Stage Two.]
After some time, the destination was selected. In the next moment, everyone disappeared from that solar system.
