Death... and me

Rean was right. There were several groups protecting several points on the way to the Heavens. At some point, their energy changed, and Rean was able to confirm they were definitely angels. Some groups kept themselves hidden, others just stayed out in the open, confident in their strength. Rean and Kentucky just ignored them all and used Rean's skills to pass unnoticed. However, it didn't last forever. At the exit that led into the Heavens, Rean saw a huge number of angels, all of them using their Divine Senses. There was no way he could get past them without being noticed. "Well, this is far enough. Let's introduce ourselves," Rean said with a smile.

"Are you sure? Absolutely sure?" Kentucky was a little afraid. There was no doubt there were angels there that could fight him and Rean. And considering the numbers difference, their chances of victory didn't seem that good, even escaping might be complicated.

Yet, Rean had already undone his Light Bending Skill and appeared in the distance. It didn't take long for the Angels to notice him.

Kentucky, without another choice, also revealed himself and followed Rean.

"Halt!" An Initial Stage Archangel, which is equivalent to an Initial Stage Divinity Realm cultivator, came to check on Rean and Kentucky. His Divine Sense quickly covered the two, seeing that man and demon beast's Space-Time Realm Initial Stage cultivation. He found it weird why the Realm of Gods would send such high-level experts here since all managers would usually not be higher than Void Tempering Realm. "What did you come here for?"

Rean then bowed to the Archangel, showing no fear. "Sorry for the intrusion, senior. We came here to talk with Senior Waremis of the Holamenor Clan. Here's his token. As long as you pass it to him, our identities should be confirmed."

The Archangel narrowed his eyes as he took the token. After the incident with the Soul Worms, there wasn't a single Angel in the Heavens who didn't know about the Holamenor Clan. Yet, these Realm of Gods' experts seemed to know them. "This doesn't seem to be fake..."

A few other angels arrived right after, all in the Space-Time Realm, like Rean and Kentucky. They all had their weapons in their hands, ready to attack if the Archangel decided. "Senior Hujor, how is it?" All the angels were very wary of anything strange, having just awakened from the control of the Soul Worms. They truly didn't like anything out of the ordinary, like two Space-Time Realm experts appeared at their door steps without prior information.

Hujor, obviously the Archangel's name, waved his hand. "Bring them into the sealed area on the other side. Make sure they are being watched every second."

"Yes!" All the Angels nodded and surrounded Rean and Kentucky even closer.

Rean just smiled and followed the direction they asked him to move, while Kentucky wanted nothing more than to go back home. They passed through the Temporal Path Exit. Following that, they were put inside the sealed area destined for such events. After all, the last time they came to the Heavens, they disguised themselves as Angels so they didn't have to go through this.

As everyone already knows, the Heavens still don't have a communication system, and Rean's token didn't hold much significance as it came from a human. With the status of the Holamenor Clan, contacting them straight was out of the question. Due to that, Rean and Kentucky were forced to stay in that sealed area for over two weeks without a single word of information.

On a certain morning, the sealed entrance shined with white light from the Light Element, opening the passage. Finally, a female angel came inside, which Rean and Kentucky immediately recognized. "Long time no see, Aelrie."

Aelrie was the female angel they first met in the Lost Star Realm. Later, she met them once again in the Heavens and even knew Rean and Roan by them regardless of their disguise. The two were then brought to the Holamenor Clan, where they stayed for a while until the Ruins of the Stars opened. They found the cure to the Soul Worms there and passed it to Waremis and Spiegel, both from the Holamenor Clan. That was the last time they saw the Holamenor Clan's members... but not before acquiring the token from Waremis.

Aelrie smiled as she shrugged her shoulders. "Why, every time I see you, your appearance is different? Are you that ashamed of your face?"

'Is it fine?' Rean asked Aelrie with a Divine Sense, who simply nodded back.

"Hahaha!" Rean and Kentucky then laughed before they both changed back to normal. "This is just a habit of ours to keep ourselves safe. You know that we are quite famous in the Realm of Gods, don't you?"

"That I know." Aelrie nodded. "Alright, you spent too much time in this place already. If I keep you here any longer, you might grow some mold. Come with me."

Rean and Kentucky followed Aelrie outside under the eyes of many angels. Nonetheless, the angels did nothing and simply let them go. It seemed like the Holamenor Clan used the fact they saved everyone to gain quite some status in the Heavens. Sometime later, they arrived at a Long-Distance Teleport Formation, from which they disappeared with a flash of silver light.

In the Holamenor Clan, this time through the front door, Rean and Kentucky went through. "Things seem a lot more livelier around here."

"That's obvious!" Aelrie spoke with a smile. "Thanks to our huge contribution to the Angel Realm, a lot of benefits were given to us. We are truly thriving now, you know? Of course, we are Angels, so we properly share everything we have with our members."

Their group then arrived at what seemed to be a living room, where Waremis and even Spiegel were waiting for them. Immediately, Rean noticed something different about Spiegel, though. "Eh?! Congratulations, senior Spiegel. You have finally reached the Divinity Realm."
