Death... and mechapter 2132: the events beforehand

Going back a few days, Rean and Roan's group had also discovered several structures of the Spaceship on the outer side. However, finding an entrance proved impossible. Everything was securely locked, and attacking the hull was futile due to its auto-recovery system.

They had Luan use his eyes to search for different points of stagnation in the space around the ship. To their surprise, no matter how far they traveled, the stagnation remained the same. Luan's idea of using the different forces of stagnation to find a path didn't work at all. The only positive aspect was realizing that the ship could spread this effect uniformly throughout. This suggested that the source was likely at the very center of the ship. But then again, how could they gain access to the insides?

However, the twins had one advantage that others lacked. They had Luan, whose eyes could perceive the elements, including space. He wasn't using his vision of space this time, though. Normally, Divine Sense and Natural Spatial Perception had a greater range than Luan's eyes. Yet, in this environment, Luan's eyes proved to be the most effective in reaching far distances. He could still see up to approximately 50 kilometers. Of course, it was not the real world but the realm of elements. His eyes improved even more after he reached the Void Tempering Realm.

Thanks to this ability, Luan could observe the oscillations caused by other experts from even greater distances. When experts unleashed powerful attacks, the resulting oscillations spread far and wide. It's just that without long-range Divine Sense to analyze these oscillations, other experts couldn't determine their origin. Luan, on the other hand, relied on his Sacred Eyes to do exactly that.

In this manner, the twins encountered Devils, Cultivators, Angels, and others. Like everyone else, they were lost and simply investigating. Moreover, with the severe restriction on Spatial Power, Kentucky had become one of the fastest beings in this realm while flying. It came well in hand for the twins' group exploration. Two Minokawas had also joined all the experts in the Ruins' exploration, as Spiegel had informed the twins that the Minokawas were among the few capable of achieving harmonization. However, lacking Kentucky's Regal Bloodline, they were not as fast.

During their exploration, Roan was mostly idle. Rean had Light Bending, Kentucky flew, and Luan observed with his eyes. Not that Roan cared much about such matters anyway. Sometimes he would even switch positions with Rean to utilize the Light Bending Skill, which sufficed.

In any case, they utilized their combined abilities to investigate group by group. Kentucky had the best normal vision among them. When they approached closely, Kentucky would discreetly observe the various experts, ensuring he remained beyond the reach of their Natural Spatial Perceptions. According to their theory, as conveyed by Spiegel, maintaining a distance of two kilometers or more provided the utmost safety. However, Kentucky's eyes could see perfectly even from further away, so he always stayed at least three kilometers away, sometimes more. They were truly invisible to everyone.

During one of these investigations, the twins' group unexpectedly encountered members of the Vruve Organization. While aware of what they were searching for, it did not exempt them from the frequent encounters with the Spaceship's weapons. In one such encounter, Luan detected their powers and asked Kentucky to fly in their direction. Naturally, Kentucky's description of their appearance caught the twins' attention. They recognized them as two of the experts who had entered the Ring Barrier with them, only to almost fall victim to the twins' trick.

The twins did not know how many had survived their ploy, but they knew the cultivation level of these two experts thanks to their previous Divine Sense Bending skill. This knowledge came in handy since they couldn't employ such techniques here.

Of course, the twins were unaware of the Vruve Expert's specific objective in this place. Even with the presence of these two experts from the Vruve Organization, they might simply be searching for treasures like everyone else. Roan instructed Kentucky to monitor their movements for a few hours. If nothing noteworthy occurred, they would depart and seek other targets or simply search other areas on their own.

However, as time passed, Roan noticed that the Vruve Organization experts seemed reluctant to leave the surrounding region. Unlike the other experts they had encountered, who spent at most an hour in a specific range before moving on, the Vruves remained in the same place for several hours.

This raised suspicion among the group. Roan's demeanor grew more serious as he instructed Kentucky and Luan to never lose sight of the Vruves, as it was the only lead they had in this place so far.

Days went by with the same pattern, bolstering the twins' confidence that the Vruves possessed valuable information. Otherwise, it didn't make sense for them to still be here. Finally, Luluch and Itihis landed near the small holes mentioned earlier. Witnessing them breach the surface and enter confirmed the suspicions of the twins' group. The question now was what they should do with this information.

They waited for another hour before approaching the small holes through which the Vruve experts had entered. Using their Divine Sense, which could also encompass three members, they discerned the presence of a passage beneath this location. "Alright, based on the ground damage caused by their previous attack, I can deduce that this area is relatively weaker compared to the other regions we've explored. It's highly likely that we can create a sufficiently large opening if we exert all our power."

Roan nodded. "That's true. However, it also means we might be following the same path as those two guys from the Vruve Organization. In my opinion, the Space-Time Realm cultivators of the Vruve Organization are even more dangerous than their counterparts from the three Higher Realms. They are Space-Time Realm cultivators who undoubtedly surpass others at the same stage of cultivation. This could prove highly dangerous."
