Death… And Me-Chapter 2559 Karma

Lostrai didn't even know what to say anymore. He had asked the angels under his command to go out and bring him rare materials. Yet, none of them brought anything as plentiful and rare as Rean. He was just an artifact spirit, but even he could feel the power of those ores and metals.

"Rean, it will take some time to devise a good alloy combination. After all, we don't have access to Universe Foundation Fragments and don't really know what they are made of. Perhaps they are a type of material that really only exists in the Foundation itself," said one of the Blacksmiths.

Rean, obviously, already expected that. "I know. Fortunately, the Blacksmith Workshop can help us bring the absolute best of these materials. I can't say they will turn into something as resistant as the Fragment Lostrai is occupying. However, it will definitely be good enough to hold his sentience and allow him to cultivate... if he finds a way to cultivate, of course."

Everyone nodded. They, too, had a lot of confidence in this Blacksmith Organization of theirs. With that said, everyone immediately asked Lostrai to let them analyze his vessel. Lostrai had his doubts. Nonetheless, he knew that the fragment couldn't be destroyed, so he let them do as they wished.

Meanwhile, Roan returned to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. 'How long do you think it will take to make this new vessel for the guy?' Roan asked Rean through their soul connection.

Rean pondered a little while discussing with the other blacksmiths and formations masters. 'Hard to say. We need to find the most optimal combination of alloy that gets the closest to the properties of a Universe Foundation Fragment. I'm certain we have everything we need, but it will take time to reach a definite result.'

'Best guess?' Roan asked again.

'Three months,' Rean answered. 'That should be enough for us to make enough tries and have Lostrai test them one by one. Even without leaving his vessel, he should be able to tell if he can move inside the materials we test to be his new core. Of course, it could take longer, or it could take less. Who knows? The very first alloy we make might be just perfect, and then there will only be the puppet to build.'

Roan was satisfied. 'That's enough. As long as it doesn't take more than a year, it should be fine.'

Rean then asked something he was curious about. 'What about our Lap Pills? I saw you making six pills for the Holamenor Clan. Yet, you didn't use the last batch of Snow Cidrera Herb to make our pills. Why?'

'That was the best decision,' Roan began to explain. 'As you know, I need the Soul Gem Alchemist Workshop to make these pills. The only reason I was able to make them here was because I had finished most of the process before even leaving the workshop. That way, just a normal furnace was enough to finish the job.'

Roan continued. 'However, it doesn't change the fact that it was the wrong step. You might not be able to tell, but it is just too clear to me. The pills I made to the Holamenor Clan ended up being quite subpar. Not worth being consumed at all.'

Rean was taken aback. 'Then... the pills you made for us are going to be even better than that? I noticed the difference the Light Clearance Pills made to Spiegel and Trusifel; it was ridiculous. Can they really be better than that?'

'Hmph!' Roan snorted. 'That was just a piece of shit. Ours should be at least three times as effective.'

Rean couldn't help but feel reinvigorated. 'Great! I'll finish this vessel as fast as possible. Then we can go straight back to the Realm of Gods to take your Alchemist Workshop back.'

Meanwhile, back in the Realm of Gods, Hutis Continent...

"This has to be the place..." a certain fairy was flying above a huge sea. Yet, at the same time, it seemed like she was flying under it. That's because this sea was different. It wasn't just one, but two seas at the same time. One sea was found below, just like any other sea. Yet, the second sea floated in the sky, seeming to defy the laws of gravity. This place was known as the Mirrored Seas.

If Rean and Roan had been here, they would have recognized her in a single glance. It was Rana, their sister, who reincarnated as a Fairy in the Realm of Gods. When Rean went back to visit Rana, he found out she had left, and another Fairy Queen took her place. No one knew where she went, so Rean could only leave with his dejected mother in the end.

Rana kept her attention on the karma threads of the world, following a specific thread that was different from any other. Karma threads connected to fairies are usually golden, while the rest as just gray. At least, that's how they looked in the fairy race's eyes. Yet, the thread she was following seemed to change between golden and gray every second, which propelled Rana to come to this place after many years of travel.

Suddenly, Rana felt her connection with that thread increase several times in a single moment. Until now, she was using this connection to guide herself, but that thread hadn't acted in such a strong manner before.

*Shuaaaa!*

It was then that the Sea above her head split, and a flash of white light came straight at her. Rana had absolutely no time to react before her body was enveloped by that white light and pulled above. Before she lost consciousness, she felt the Karma Thread's other end. Whoever or whatever connected that Karma Thread to her, Rana had finally met it. Too bad she black out before being able to see anything. The sea then closed once more, and everything returned to the same calm as before, as if nothing had happened.
