Chapter 4092: Beasts

Yet, Fila ignored the twins, talking only to Hick. "Long time no see, Hick!"

Hick was also happy. "Indeed! So you ended up here again, uh? Soul Gem would probably go crazy if he found out."

"Shhh! Don’t tell him, okay? What about you? What are you even doing her-" Fila intended to ask, but she stopped. "Forget it! We don’t have the time. Quick, follow me."

They were inside a smaller palace in the garden that few came to visit. As they walked through the corridors, they passed by a few of the workers there, but they all ignored the twins’ group. No, it wasn’t that they ignored, but that they didn’t care. Rean could tell it. They were all puppets, likely controlled by Fila.

Finally, they got inside a room, and Fila touched the wall on the back. Several inscriptions appeared, causing a hidden passage to appear. Inside, there was only a simple Teleport Formation. "Use this. It will send you out of the Imperial Dimensional Realm. Be aware, you will appear in the Imperial Starway, which is also heavily guarded. Judging by the commotion, I’m pretty sure everyone will be on high alert outside as well."

Hick couldn’t help but ask. "What about you? Won’t this cause you even more trouble? Why don’t you come with us?"

Fila faintly smiled. "Thanks, but don’t worry. Dad will likely speak a lot of nonsense, but he will let me be in the end. Now, enough talking. Go! No, wait! Take this! You will also need it."

Hick received a Jade Slip, which he threw to Rean. Right after, he moved above the formation, and the twins’ group followed. The twins were still lost. What was Fila doing here?

Fila was someone very important for Soul Gem, but they saw in Soul Gem’s memories that her mind was controlled by Tuana during the Extinction Sphere event. After that, they had no idea what happened to her. Soul Gem never talked about it either. (Chapters 697-700)

Too bad, the formation activated, a flash of silver light followed, and they disappeared.

When they appeared again, they were already outside the Imperial Dimensional Realm. They seemed to have come out in a hidden location in the so-called Imperial Starway.

*Pin!*

[Abyssal Paths Detected.]

Imperial Starway was just a name for the location. The truth was that that was a location with thousands of different Great Void Shifters. The formations were all floating in midspace, no land in sight. However, there were definitely many experts flying around, although those in the Celestial Realm were just a few.

The system’s message hasn’t stopped, though.

[Abyssal Beasts Detected.]

’Abyssal Beasts?’ Rean and Roan looked at each other. ’As expected, there were more of them!’

They theorized with Abby that the Werdlem Empire probably still had Abyssal Beasts, which were likely used to help create new Great Void Shifters. The system’s words simply confirmed it. Of course, that wasn’t the time to care about that.

Instead, they had to use this chance while there weren’t many Celestials here. Most of the Celestials left because the twins’ group had appeared inside the Imperial Dimensional Realm. Many of the Celestials that were supposed to be stationed here were called into that place to help look for them. Of course, those who remained were all on high alert. It was fortunate that the hidden location they appeared seemed to have concealed their presence, at least for now.

Hick warned them. "It won’t be long before they find out Fila helped us escape. We need to get away from here quick."

Roan glanced at him. "I have many questions, but I guess I will have to wait. Where do we go?"

"I know," Rean answered, the Jade Slip on his forehead. "She just gave us a Great Void Shifter Chart. It shows the destination of all the Shifters in this Starway thing."

"Which ones will send us out of the Universe?" Kentucky asked.

"None of them," Rean explained. "These Shifters instead exist to connect the various places of the Werdlem Universe. The shifters used to go to other Universes are in another location. Man, I thought the Rank A Universes were big. However, from what I can see in this Jade Slip, the Werdlem Universe is bigger than all nine Rank A Universes put together!"

They immediately understood why there were so many shifters for a single Universe. "As expected of the only Rank S Universe, I guess..."

"Okay, so which Shifter do we take?" Kentucky was more interested in where he should fly to. As the fastest flyer, he was carrying everyone as always.

They all looked to Hick. He was the one who knew most about the Werdlem Universe.

"Okay, the Werdlem Universe is very different, even from Rank A Universes. The Underworld, Heavens, and the Divine Realm are all one land," Hick explained.

"Isn’t it the same as the A1 Universe?" Celis asked back.

"No," Roan shook his head. "In A1, those Realms’ barriers had been eliminated, so you could travel between them without issues. There was no need for temporal paths. Of course, as long as you had the means to do so. However, they still had their own lands."

"Exactly," Hick confirmed. "That’s why here they don’t call it Divine Realm, Underworld, or Heavens. Instead, it goes by the name of Werdlem Realm. Rean, find a Shifter that can bring us to the Congral Region. I have something there that will help us mislead our pursuers once they notice we used that Shifter."

Rean checked the Jade Slip and told Kentucky which Shifter they should use. Kentucky immediately shot out of their hidden location, using Rean’s directions to avoid getting too close to any of the Celestial Divine Senses. There were also many Divinities there, but with Rean’s cultivation level now, he could still hide everyone up to a few hundred meters from those Divinities.

The Shifter was quite far, though. And Kentucky had to take several different routes to avoid everyone there.

*Alarm!*

Suddenly, everything turned red. At the same time, Rean felt many Celestial Realm Divine Senses touching his bending. "Seems like they found out about the help Fila gave us."

Roan could feel the energy escalating far in the distance, in the same direction the Divine Senses were coming from. "They’re coming."

"We’re here!" Kentucky warned them, stopping a few hundred meters from a Shifter. He didn’t move in because there was also a Divinity there, and Rean’s bending would be broken if he got that close.

"No point waiting now. Go, Kentucky!" Roan ordered.

*Zush!*

Kentucky shot forward at full speed, and the Divinity overseeing that Shifter finally noticed them with his Divine Sense. He already received orders to report anything unusual, and that the invaders got inside the Imperial Dimensional Realm. Well, the twins’ group’s sudden appearance so close to him was as unusual as it could get. His Divine Sense, which was already spread, immediately transmitted his words. ’Here! The intruders are here!’

Everywhere, everyone turned in their direction. It was too late, though. The twins’ group was already too close.

*Zuom!*

Another Black Tunnel appeared out of nowhere. At the same time, Kentucky easily blasted that Divinity out of the way. Not even a split second had passed. He flew into the tunnel, while Rean, Roan, and Celis turned around and attacked!

’Red Death, Death Cross!’

’Red Life, Lightning Emperor Sword!’

’Leaves Slaughter!’

*Boom!*

As the Black Tunnel closed, the Great Void Shifter under it was destroyed by their attacks. At least for now, no one would be able to use it to go to the same place as the twins’ group.
