Death… And Me - Chapter 3707

First, the most obvious, they were indeed in the Divine Realm of Universe F974. There was Divine Energy everywhere, after all. Then it came to their precise location. They were on the Continent of Hangau, located in the central area of the Divine Realm. As for the city in ruins where they arrived, it was once called Junil. Finally, the city they found themselves now was called Defis, as mentioned by the Demon Beasts before.

"Oh! Seems like I was right," Rean commented. "Junil City was indeed destroyed not long ago. To be more precise, just 2341 years ago. Here is the interesting part. There seems to be a huge war going on. It also explains why this Defis City is so small. It had been constructed recently. It has only a little over a thousand years of age."

Roan snorted. "Hmph! In a place as big as a Divine Realm of a Universe, you can be certain there will be many wars happening everywhere. It already happens nonstop in small places like planets, let alone a Divine Realm. There is nothing interesting about it. That’s just the norm."

"That’s not what I meant," Rean corrected himself. "The war I’m talking about actually involves the entire Universe. Well, more like all the experts who would be related to something as big as a Universal War. For those weak ones or mortal planets, for example, the beings there probably don’t even know such a thing is happening."

"Universal War?" Kentucky got curious. "Can a Universal War happen in a Universe controlled by the Werdlem Empire? Oh, I understand! The power in charge of this Universe is not doing anything and simply letting the course of history play itself out, right? It’s like the Camazotz Bats and the Supreme Palace. They almost never intervened with anything happening in the Universe. It is probably the same here."

"Nope!" Rean then sent the same information he found in the network to everyone. "The war is for the rights to become the next power in charge of Universe F974. That also includes its actual controlling power, a Clan called Ermmel."

"Really?!" Kentucky quickly took a look at the information. Sure enough, the war indeed involved the controlling power and those trying to take its rights away. "Wow... The Ermmel Clan is truly fighting to keep control over the Universe."

Roan narrowed his eyes. "That’s weird. The Controlling Power of each Universe always has the Universe Owner, who is a Celestial Realm Expert. It matters little how many experts all the opposing factions have. Since the Universe Owner is the only Celestial Realm Expert that can exist in that Universe, he or she should be able to take all the opposition down with ease. Take Triaglia, for example; she eventually had to leave F956 after Rifindio arrived. She only stayed a few days."

"True..." Rean nodded as he continued to look for more information in the Werdlem Network. "Unfortunately, I can’t find any information regarding their Universe Owner. However, it seems like the Werdlem Empire is not going to intervene with what is happening here. If anything, I can see in various places in the network that the Werdlem Empire has authorized this fight for power."

[That reminds me of that conversation we had back in F956,] Sister Orb said. [We wondered if the Golden Palace was truly the only method to take the authority away from that Universe’s controlling power. In the case of Universe F956, the Camazotz Bats. It’s just that we didn’t waste time looking for an answer since we didn’t care.]

Rean also remembered that. "Indeed. Well, it matters not. Whoever comes out on top is meaningless to us. Sister Orb, it will be faster for you. Try to find information regarding Kentucky’s Parents."

[Hum? Isn’t it faster to simply use the Feather?] Sister Orb asked back.

"Ah!" Rean and the others had almost forgotten that.

Back in the Sunlight Realm, they met the Golden Crow, Havira, who just happened to detect a familiar scent within the twins’ group. Turns out she knew Kentucky’s parents, Ploto-Ume and Ratria-Ket. The familiar scent she felt was because of that. (Chapter 2998-3001)

In the end, the twins’ group inquired where they could find Kentucky’s parents, which the Golden Crow said to be the Universe F974. She also mentioned that it was the last place she met them, so there wasn’t really a guarantee they would still be there.

Nonetheless, to help the twins’ group, she passed over a feather. That feather could be presented to any Divine Demon Beast race in Universe F974, and they should be able to point the twins’ group to where Ratria and Ploto live. Of course, if they still live in this Universe. She emphasized that Ratria and Ploto were actively searching for an escape from the confines of the Werdlem Empire’s Bubble.

Rean waved, and in the next moment, the Black Feather appeared on his hand. "Kentucky, have you ever checked this feather? Perhaps you could use it to find your parents, too."

Kentucky pulled it close to himself, but other than confirming it came from a Minokawa, he couldn’t tell anything else. "It’s a normal feather, just like my own. It is from a Minokawa, though. I have no idea how it can be used to find those two."

"Well, we better get out there and look for some of the Divine Demon Beast Races’ Territories," Rean shrugged.

Celis was already looking into it. "This Divine Realm is actually similar to the Realm of Gods back in Lisan Universe. Its territories are divided into five different kinds of races."

"Five?" Rean looked at him. "The Realm of Gods was divided into four: Humanoid Races, Demon Beasts, Spirits, and the Essence Race. What about this Universe?"

"The first three are the same," Celis confirmed. "Humanoids, Demon Beasts, Spirits. As for the other two, they are the Devils and Angels."

"So that’s how it is..." Rean nodded. "Back in Lisan, the Devils had conquered and controlled the Essence Race Territories, after all. The same thing likely happened here. Anyway, where are the Demon beasts located?"

"West side of the Divine Realm," Celis quickly answered.

"Then let’s go there," Kentucky was ready to go out.

[Before that, you better take care of our visitors.]

"Visitors?" Everyone looked at her, puzzled.

Right after, Sister Orb showed images of the outside. Soon, they noticed that the hotel they were in began to get surrounded. "Oh, those visitors..."
