Death... and me

Looking at the captured experts, Kentucky still felt he had to ask. "Errr... Are you truly just going to leave them like that?"

Rean understood what Kentucky meant. With the danger of other Universes, all experts were necessary... even if they were at fault. Still, Lola was adamant. "They will stay here, and nothing will change that fact. They truly angered our Loporrits' Chief. To be honest, even if I wanted to, I have no hope of undoing Chief's seal. Only he will be able to do so... and perhaps the... No, forget it."

"What if we talk to this chief?" Rean suddenly asked.

Yet, another voice quickly appeared on Roan's shoulder this time. An ashen-furred rabbit was standing there, obviously in a foul mood. "Don't waste your time. Respect should be obvious during a first-time encounter, yet they had none of it. I will not release them." Roan glanced at the old Loporrit that somehow reminded him of the old Loporrit they met on the way here. "I believe you are the Chief?"

The ashen-furred Loporrit nodded and jumped from Roan's shoulder to the ground. "That would be me."

He wasn't the only one. More and more Loporrits began to magically appear all around, just like Lola. No spatial Power whatsoever could be felt during it.

The chief then looked at Roan. "You smell familiar. Do I know you?"

Roan shook his head. "This is my first time in this world." He obviously lied... or maybe that wasn't a lie since he wasn't the same person from before.

"I see..." Lotiri narrowed his eyes... which was quite cute. "Whatever. Lola shouldn't have told you about this location. I'm sorry, but there isn't much we can do for you. If you want to use the Chaos Laws, you need to align- hum?"

Lotiri then noticed the change in the twins' group. "Seems like you have done that already. I can see that the alignment is complete, and you can use the Chaos Laws properly. Not bad, not bad. That was way faster than I expected any of your groups to achieve... with the exception of a certain guy." Lotiri was obviously thinking about Kafan.

Rean then looked at Roan as he asked through their soul connection. 'This is your chance to inquire more about your past. They keep saying you have a familiar smell, so what will you do? If you don't intend to ask about that, we can just ask more about this Wonderland.'

Roan pondered a bit. If he truly heard more, perhaps all his memories would unlock at once. At the moment, he was still able to separate those memories and label them as not his, but that's because they were slowly appearing. What if they all came out at once? He wasn't sure.

With that in mind, Roan gave up risking. He would rather slowly but surely unlock them while keeping his own identity. "In that case, would you mind if we talk about other things? We obviously don't need to hear about the Chaos Laws. We can see we can use them quite well, and we only need practice."

Rean followed. "First things first, Roan. Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Rean Larks, and this thing that looks like me is my brother, Roan Larks. The bird with an idiot's face is Kentucky, and the old bark is Celis."

Roan, Kentucky, and Celis glanced at Rean with cold expressions. 'What kind of bullshit introduction is that?!' They all asked through Divine Sense at the same time.

Yet, the Chief, Lotiri, did find it funny. "Hehe! You guys must have quite a close relationship. That's not bad." He then introduced himself as well. "Alright, you can call me Lotiri. I'm the Chief of Loporrits. If you have more questions, I will try to answer them as long as it is not against the rules." Right after, he glanced at the captured experts. "You see, brats? That's how you do it."

Vanos and the others felt like crying. They thought that after Moloch angered Lola, the Loporrits definitely wouldn't want to talk to them anymore. If they knew it was so easy to get information, they wouldn't have attacked either... Well, there is also the part where the Loporrits were much stronger than them in this place.

Roan didn't wait for more of Rean's jokes and continued. "Can you talk more about this Realm? What is this place? You call it Wonderland."

Lotiri nodded. "That much I can talk. Wonderland is simply because nothing here is as it seems. At the moment, you and most of the other groups of visitors are on the outskirts of this world. The laws of this world... you call it Chaos Laws, right? Anyway, the Chaos Laws in this part is very thin, so you haven't seen what it can truly do."

Lola quickly jumped in. "Further into this world, where Chaos Laws are more concentrated, you will have a hard time differentiating reality from illusion. Your very actions will look nonsensical due to its effects."

Rean quickly remembered what happened when they tried to use their Elements. "You mean like when I tried to create fire and a fire-like water appeared instead before changing into different elements? I kept trying to create fire only, but I couldn't get it to be fire at all."

"That's child play," Lotiri didn't let the overenthusiastic Lola continue. "Once the concentration gets higher enough, your own bodies will cease to be what they are. Don't forget that even a body is not separated from the laws of the world. Try to imagine what will happen to them once the Chaos Laws begin to change their very essence, similar to what happened when you tried to create fire."

The twins group couldn't help but sweat coldly. "This seems something that just strength won't help."

"It won't," Lotiri agreed. "There is only one way to prevent it. That is to cultivate the Chaos Laws."

"Cultivate... the Chaos Laws?" They didn't expect that answer. "What do you mean?"

Lotiri faintly smiled before asking. "In your eyes, I seem to be nothing more than a Nascent Soul Realm Loporrit, right?"

The twins' group nodded. However, in the next second, Lotiri seemed to change completely. It was as if a layer of protection had suddenly been removed, revealing his real cultivation... which the twins could feel. All they could say was that Lotiri Cultivation was definitely beyond what a Divinity Realm could achieve. In fact... they only felt such oppression from Hyeoumu himself, the being that carries the Realm of Gods on his back!
