Death... and me



Kentucky didn't care about what Rean was talking about. "Lily, call Jeskli and pass me the badge."

Lily shook her head. "These badges were made so only their owner can use them. You won't be able to talk to Jeskli with it."

"What's his number then?" Kentucky asked back before taking a similar badge from his own pocket dimensional realm. Indeed, by now, Kentucky had also built his own realm. Of course, it was nowhere near as good or big as the Soul Gem System Dimensional Realm.

Seeing Kentucky with a communication badge, which was obviously given to him by Rean, Lily passed Jeskli's number. 

As Kentucky talked to Jeskli, Rean took out his own communication badge and used his admin privileges to check the communication towers built in the Floating Islands of Time. 'Hum... There are 130 or so of them built around the Floating Islands of Time. Qia knew that we would come here one day to look for a fragment, so she most likely covered it well. Let me see if I can get a signal through the center without relying on the towers on the sides...'

As the 'creator' of those towers and badges, even the somewhat modified communication system was easy for Rean to use. Everything was created on the base code that he and Havek worked on back in the Sunkan Planet, after all. 

Quickly a picture o the two towers Rean wanted to use appeared on a map inside the communication badge divine sense display. 'There we go!'

Finally, Rean sent the order and modified code, making a tower try to communicate with another one that would only be possible if enough clearance existed on the way. The Divine Energy Signals could bend to avoid obstacles due to the Divine Energy itself. However, it would be too much of a stretch to achieve that with the two towers Rean used in this process. The only option was to get the signal to go through the center, which should be somewhat blocked since no one could get inside.

Meanwhile, Kentucky and Jeskli argued in the communication badge. 'I'm telling you! You need to bring all the Minokawas always from the Floating Islands of Time! There is a very big chance this entire place is going to be swallowed by a Spatuial Storm.'

Jeskli rebuked back. 'And I'm telling it is impossible! The Floating Islands of Time have been here for countless years, and I have noticed no difference. Even a Divinity Realm expert wouldn't be able to create a Spatial Storm capable of wiping out this place. No, let alone one, even a hundred of them, would still lack the power for such a thing. I would believe that if some formation was being used, but there is no way someone created a formation powerful enough to do that without us noticing.'

Kentucky was having a headache. 'The power involved in this isn't something Divine Realm experts can match to start with. Trust me, you don't want to remedy the outcome.'

Jeskli-Go still didn't believe it. 'And what exactly could be that strong? Don't tell me you found something in the center because I know through Lily's communication badge that you still haven't entered that place. No one ever entered there, so I don't believe you know what you can find inside.'

Indeed, if not because of the Soul Gem System, it would have been impossible to know what is inside. However, it wasn't like the experts of the Realm of Gods never guessed what could cause that phenomenon. Plenty theorized that you might be able to find one of the so-coveted Universe Foundation Fragments. Unfortunately, no one was ever able to enter and confirm, regardless of the methods they used. Nonetheless, it would be a lie if Jeskli didn't think about it a few times, especially now with Kentucky's call.

Suddenly, Rean screamed from the side. "AHA! Who's the best circuitry formations master in the Universe. Yes, that's me! Rean Larks!"

Roan glanced at him. "I don't know about the circuitry formations, but I'm sure you are the most annoying one there for sure. Stop your bullshit and tell us what you did."

"Hmph! You truly are a buzz-kill. Anyway, ignoring the piece of wood that unfortunately looks like me, I found a way to enter the Center of the Floating Islands of Time without ending somewhere else because of this place's effect," Rean explained. 

"Using the communication towers and forcefully boosting their signals, I made two towers communicate with each other by sending signals through the central area. After that, I used the towers around and their signals to make a triangulation. Guess what? It worked! As long as we follow the badge directions, there is no way we will end up walking out of the central area if we don't wish to," Rean concluded.

Luan couldn't help but ask. "How come the towers' signals don't get messed up in this place?"

"Because they aren't natural," Rean explained. "What is being messed up are the natural elements, space power, and time. The signal of my communication system has nothing to do with any of them. They are all artificial signals that simply didn't exist in the Realm of Gods before. Thus, they are immune to the central area effects. Of course, it doesn't mean it is immune to all interferences. Like our previous world, it can be influenced by electrical storms, for example. It's just that it is not the case here in the Floating Islands of Time."

"E-Electrical? Signals? What are you talking about?" Lily was as lost as she could be. She knew absolutely nothing about formations.

Rean smiled in response. "You just need to understand that there is a very good chance of us being able to enter and search the central area without getting expelled by its effect."

Lily obviously got very curious. "Seems interesting..."

Roan then asked Kentucky with a Divine Sense Message. 'Tell Jeskli everything Rean said. It will be better if he enters with us.'

'Ehhh? Aren't you afraid of him trying to get the fragment?' Kentucky asked back.

Roan shook his head. 'Something tells me it is worth the risk.'
