[Congratulations, hosts! You have successfully recovered the second Foundation Fragnt!]
[Destiny Points Reward: 300000]
[The Soul Gem System will undergo an upgrade in its processing power. The upgrade will start in three days' ti. The ti necessary to finish the upgrade is 168 hours.]
Rean and Roan didn't know what to say. They were expecting sothing to happen when they tried to grab the fragnt for themselves. Perhaps the old man was waiting for an opportunity to invade their Dinsional Realm and take their own fragnt. Or maybe he was making fun of them as he seed to have enjoyed their battle earlier. In any case, they were waiting for sothing! But nothing happened so far, and their Soul Gem Dinsional Realm was completely out of reach for others now.
"Just what is happening here? How co he allowed us to take the fragnt as if it was nothing?" Rean asked.
Roan shook his head, clarifying sothing. "No, he didn't allow us to take it. Rather, he simply gave it to us. He wanted us to take it. As for why, I don't know."
Rean narrowed his eyes in response and couldn't help but comnt, "Roan... don't you think he looked sowhat familiar?"
Roan glanced at Rean before saying, "I do... however, I'm sure I had never seen his face before. I know what you're thinking, though. That's soone from Sunkan Planet. However, why would he send us away if he recognized us? He didn't want to talk to us, but he gave us his fragnt. Well, we don't know if this fragnt was really his or not. Perhaps he couldn't enter this room, and as soon as we leave, he will attack us and demand both fragnts."
Rean had to admit Roan was right. "If he really gave us the fragnt, then he should be soone we trusted back in Sunkan. Of course, that's considering he really is soone from back in Sunkan. Who knows, he might have been soone from Zasfin Planet as well. Or perhaps soone we t in the Realm of Gods. What do you think? Should we use the Circuitry Teleport Formation to get out of here?"
[I wouldn't do that. Rember what I said about a scrambled space that makes teleportation impossible? That just happens to be the case at the mont. Well, it's not like you two haven't noticed it.]
Rean and Roan could already use Spatial Powers, so they did feel the problem with the space around them. "Well, it's still a last resort."
Rean then sat on the ground and continued to focus on his injuries. Roan, of course, did the sa. If there really was so trap waiting for them outside the room, it would be better to at least be fully healed. "At least we didn't have to burn our Nascent Souls again."
Rean nodded in agreent. Back when they were just about to be killed by Fratekla and Rlakux, Rean and Roan had already touched their Nascent Souls. Doing that would give them a huge burst in power for a limited ti, which would be enough to at least save themselves. But then again, once that was over, they would need to spend Destiny Points to revive the Nascent Soul, and it would have taken them years.
While the twins recovered, Rean took the chance to ask Sister Orb sothing else. "Sister Orb, how many Destiny Points do we have right now?"
[783215 Destiny Points. Other than the 300000 that you just earned, you also got quite a few from the wars you two had been commanding. It wouldn't have taken too long for you to gather the 500000 you wanted even if you hadn't completed the quest.]
"I see..." Rean nodded after hearing that. "Should we buy any upgrade before leaving this room?"
[You won't be able to,] Sister Orb answered in response. [The System is preparing itself for the upgrade of its processing power. You can use what you've unlocked so far. However, you can't do anything that requires a change in the system. With that being said, no rewards list.]
Roan's last few injuries finally closed up with the help of his pill and Rean's Instant Recovery. He then got up and looked at the exit after that. "Waiting here won't be of any use. Let's go."
Rean quickly got up. "Well, we don't have much choice, it seems."
The two then walked to the room's exit and finally stepped out. As soon as they did that, the world around them blurred, showing that they were teleported once again. The old man's control over space was so good that even the scrambled space didn't affect him. No, it might be because he was the one scrambling the space to start with.
The next ti the twins' vision returned to normal, they were in a living room. There was a fireplace on the side, keeping the room quite warm. The old man was sitting close to it while he sipped so tea from his cup. Well, for the twins, he looked more like soone in his early twenties, maybe not even close to that.
He wasn't the only one in the room, though. Rean and Roan also saw Fratekla and Rlakux on the other end. Their expressions weren't very good, but it didn't seem like they were injured either.
"Oh, so you're back. You sure took your ti, didn't you?" The old man put his cup down as he said those words.
Rean went straight to the point, though. "Are you soone from Sunkan Planet? Do we know each other? Or could it be that it was you who destroyed the planet?"
The old man was taken aback for a mont before he laughed out loud in response. "Hahaha! ? Destroy a planet? That's quite crazy, even for ."
The old man then looked at Fratekla and Rlakux and told them, "You two can go back to your rooms. I'll talk to you later. For now, I have a few things to talk about with these youngsters here."
Fratekla slamd the table in front of her, snarling in response, "What do you intend to do with ?!"
The old man smiled in response. "That will depend on your grandfather's answer. Now go, or I'll send you myself."
Fratekla could only grit her teeth and look at the twins after hearing that. However, she did get up with Rlakux and left the room, leaving only the twins and Crazy Old Man Larks behind.
Right after, the old man brought out sothing that looked like a crystal ball. Inside, the twins saw another Foundation Fragnt!
