Death... and me

Dengais truly had no chance of escaping. Rean, Roan, and Kanglia were enough to gain the upper hand against Crowley, and Kentucky wasn't even part of that battle. Now, against Dengais, Kentucky was there. Let alone that Nolui, a Late-Stage Spce-Time Realm just like Dengais, was there too. The Vruves might be strong, but they were not that ridiculous.

Nolui was the one to give the last blow, ending Dengais' life right there and then. It's too bad that someone like Dengais obviously had his own Pocket Dimensional Realm, so anything in his possession was definitely lost with his life as Pocket Dimensional Realms collapsed after their owner's death.

The rest of the cultivators from Rean's group also managed to kill another two Peak Stage Elemental Space Realm Vruves, but another five still escaped. Nonetheless, their side had a major victory. The only loss on their side was a guy called Fenpol, with whom Rean barely had any interaction.

The Vruves were still much stronger, and while Kentucky fought with Bacia and Culoj, the rest of the cultivators were still on their own against their opponents. It was already a surprise that only one of them died.

On the other hand, the Vruves' losses were enormous, especially since the Realm of Gods is locked down and they can't send reinforcements. Of their group, two Initial Stage and one Late Stage Space-Time Realm cultivators died. Not to mention the other five Elemental Space Realm experts.

Around an hour later, Kinglei returned to their group with an angry expression. From the looks of it, he wasn't able to stop Grovan from leaving. In fact, he didn't inflict any meaningful injury against Grovan either. After some time, he understood that pursuing Grovan might lead him into some trap, so he gave up and returned.

Now, everyone was reunited, although they were still with their guards high. Kinglei then looked at Roan, who appeared during the battle. He had seen Roan's strength. Well, he also saw Rean and Kentucky's. "Just who are you guys? How can you be that strong?"

Rean... Well, Goku just introduced Roan's fake name, which he thought on the spot. "This is Klondalk. He is... quite of a special case..."

Roan... or Klondalk... looked at everyone with a cold expression. Right after, he looked back at Rean and showed two fingers. "Two more times. You can call me to help you another two times, and our contract will be over. Send me back into your Pocket Dimensional Realm."

Rean showed a sad expression, looking like he had lost some important treasure. "Fine, two more times it is." Right after, he waved his hand, and Roan disappeared in front of everyone. Obviously, he was sent back to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Rean and Roan basically pretended that Roan had some kind of agreement with Rean, which allowed Rean to request his help. "You probably can guess it already. It is not like we are friends or anything. It's just that he is bound by a contract between the two of us. I would rather not use him since I can only call his services twice more."

As one can imagine, Roan had a completely different appearance, making him look to be from a different race from Rean.

nolui narrowed his eyes but shook his head in the end. "Forget it. Thanks to this 'acquaintance' of yours, we got a major victory against the Vruves, so I will simply consider it as your merit. Still, you and this Divine Bird friend of yours are truly ridiculously strong. You can even use Time Power even though you aren't in the Space-Time Realm yet. How did you reach this level?"

Goku and Kenny shook their heads. "If it was you, would you reveal such a secret? For now, all we can say is that it is meaningless to ask us. Our methods can't be used by others. Whether you believe it or not is up to you, though."

Kinglei heard that and snorted in response. "Hehe! Do you think I can't force the answer out of your mouth? No, why use your mouth? I can simply search your soul, and I will get all the answers I want."

However, Kinglei's killing intent, which is always visible around him, did move in Rean and Kentucky's direction. That only made Rean smile in response, as there was no better way to tell whether Kinglei was serious or not. "Come on, senior Kinglei. We both know you have no intention of attacking us. How about we discuss the issue at hand instead?"

Kinglei was taken aback for a moment. It had been a long time since he felt like someone was seeing through him. Yet, that didn't make him angry. "Hehehe! You are quite interesting."

Right after, he shifted his attention to the matter at hand. "Now, Nolui, I want you to answer me. How the hell did the Vruves find us? Weren't we supposed to be here without anyone knowing? Don't tell me those Flinyu and Fosleve Geezers betrayed the Realm of Gods and are now an ally of the Vruves. Only they could have leaked the information about our movements."

Nolui immediately got angry. "How dare you question their loyalty? Senior Flinyu and Fosleve are absolutely on the Realm of Gods' side. There is no mistake in that."

"Is that so?" Kinglei wouldn't put his hand on fire for anyone. "Then what happened?"

Essefy raised his hand. "Wasn't Nolui pursued by the Vruves and Captured by the Devils until we rescued him? I'm a lot more inclined to believe there is some kind of tracker in Nolui's body that he doesn't know."

Everyone's eyes fell on Nolui instantly, using their Divine Senses to see if they could find anything. Even Nolui had to admit it was a possibility, so he also checked his body. Yet, he couldn't find anything. Of course, everyone knows there are many different techniques capable of leaving a mark on someone that can't be detected, so they might simply not be able to see it now.

The question was: what would they do if that was the case?
