Death... and me

"First, tell us more about the Vruve. What do you think they are planning. From what we know, they are hiding inside the Temporal Path. Should we worry about them? What I find extremely puzzling is how all the fragments we have known the location so far are not in their hands instead." Roan was the first to ask.

"Vruve!" Sesanem heard those worse before anger filled his mind. "So it was really those 'end of times' idiots!"

Gem raised his hand, signaling for Sesame to stop before he began to talk. "You are correct, Roan. With their resources, I wouldn't be surprised if half of the Fragments were in their hands at the very least. For them to not come out to take the fragments definitely isn't a good sign. However, I don't know why they aren't proactively looking for the fragments. What I do know is that they probably have at least one of the two Fragments that you don't know the location of."

Rean and Roan weren't surprised by that. "They have a Temporal Gap inside the Temporal Path. Our father was only able to open a temporal gap in that place because of his own Universe Foundation's Fragment. I guess it makes Sense that they have their own to keep their gap open and stable."

Gem nodded. "Indeed. Also, they probably have the last two. That's because, different from your father, the Vruve Organization is enormous even though they are well hidden. The Temporal Gap they created most likely uses at least two Fragments to give everyone inside all the space they need."

Yet, Gem warned them. "Of course, this is just theory. Perhaps they found a way to open that Gap without the need for any fragment. Still, it is better to think that they do. You never know what an organization like theirs could possibly develop."

Roan pondered a bit before asking. "Do you think it is possible for them to track the fragments inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm? After all, they found our location back in the Mortal Realm and destroyed an entire planet trying to get rid of you."

"Extremely unlikely," Soul Gem immediately answered. "Their best chance to find the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was during its early stages of activation. That means, during the time they attacked us back on Sunkan Planet. After that, the system continued to evolve and gather more Destiny Points. Even now, I'm surprised they succeeded at all. After so many years, they definitely kept their eyes open to my return. Too bad they have no chance anymore. Now that I got the Fragments inside the Dimensional Realm, I made it completely undetectable."

"Can't they use their own Fragments to find ours?" Rean couldn't help but ask.

Still, Gem shook his head. "I obviously considered this possibility. They can't."

The twins wouldn't 100% believe Gem's confidence. But that made them more relaxed anyway. "That's good. Now, the question we are most curious about. How exactly do you intend to use the Fragments to unify the two sides of the Universe?"

"It's surprisingly very simple. But at the same time, it is very hard. First of all, your cultivation must reach the Divinity Realm. Only by reaching that Realm will your understanding of Space and Time Laws be good enough to approach the Universe Foundation Pillar. Without that, no one can help you get close to that thing."

"Once you get there, the Fragments in our possession will be attracted by the Foundation Pillar and fuse with it again. The Foundation Pillar is located in the gap between the two halves of the Universe, and fixing it will allow the two halves to be Unified."

"Of course, there is one last detail. And that is the part where I had to go to your side of the Universe to take you with me. Because the Foundation is located within the gap between the two halves, it is not connected to any of the sides. It will need a being born from each side to make the link between the two halves. It's like I said. The process is quite simple but very hard at the same time. Just reaching the Divity Realm will take a very long time." Finally, Gem finished his explanation.

"I see... if it's like you said, it is indeed easy and hard." Roan had his doubts, but it didn't seem like Soul Gem would be able to answer them anyway.

Rean, on the other hand, thought about something else. "Gem, back during the time we saw your memories, we followed you during the day that you were attacked. The Vruve Organization was your organization, but it is now the enemy. How come?" Rean was right. Vruve was an Organization led by Soul Gem. Only after his disappearance did it become their enemy.

"What else could it be? The events in the Extinction Sphere area weakened our forces by a lot. After I was gone, Tuana's forces simply had to capture everyone." Gem answered with a sad expression. "She had Fila in her hands and probably still does. Fila had the highest knowledge of the organization after me. All the secrets of my Vruve Organization could be acquired from her. Tired forces, knowledge of your enemy, bad timing, etc. They had everything. Fortunately, I was at least successful in splitting the Extinction Sphere as I planned."

His words reminded Roan of something else, though. "Right! When we saw your memories of the calamity day, it only went to the point where you were injured and then decided to embrace the Control Orb. After that, we saw nothing more. In the end, how did the Universe get separated in two? We didn't see past that point." (Chapter 700)

Soul Gem nodded. "So you didn't see what caused the Universe's separation, uh? Nor did you see what happened to the Extinction Sphere. Very well, let me show you." Soul Gem immediately spread his Divine Sense and sent his memories into everyone's minds in the room.
