The twins finally recovered, although they felt quite surprised by what had just happened. Of course, they were a lot more worried about their reaction when the Relic appeared. Normally, anyone could tell that the Relic's appearance had sothing to do with what they felt.
However, because it was phisto who had the Relic and the fact that he attacked the twins before made everyone suspicious of phisto instead. Then again, the Underworld Relic was a mystery on its own. phisto had to have used it sohow to inflict damage on the twins again.
"phisto, you really have no concerns for the rules of the Underworld Relic Transference, do you?" Rui asked, fuming.
phisto knew that this wasn't a good situation. After all, the contest existed so that the Elder Devils wouldn't fight over the Relic. The Relic made him stronger, but he would never be able to take all the Elder Devils on his own. "You're looking at it the wrong way. Didn't you see? It was the Relic that caused the problem. I've put them away now, so they're fine, aren't they? The Relic is a weird item, so perhaps it affects so devils more than others." As he said that, phisto did not ntion that the Relic itself reacted to the twins' presence.
Rui narrowed his eyes in response but couldn't go against phisto's words. Right after, he looked at Rean and Roan to ask. "Are you fine? Can you still take part in the competition?"
Rean and Roan looked at each other for a mont and nodded. "Yes, we're fine. Still, just what was that thing? We felt like it was trying to split our minds in half."
Rui nodded after hearing that. "That's the Underworld Relic we told you about. As for why it attacked you..." Rui looked back at phisto, certain that phisto was the cause. "Perhaps only he knows."
phisto could only faintly smile and shrug his shoulders at that. "Believe whatever you want. The fact is that they're fine, so there's no problem, right? Or what? Do all the Elder Devils here wish to start a battle to see who ends up with the Relic?"
"No." Moloch was the first one to answer. "Just make sure that it won't happen anymore. Otherwise, we'll be forced to take the Relic from you before the contest is over." Moloch also had a victory so far, so he truly didn't want to end the contest for the Relic now with a battle. His chances were better that way.
Rui noticed that the other Elder Devils also didn't want to escalate things, so he could only agree. "Moloch is right. After we send our devils into the Path of Reincarnation's periphery, you can bring the Relic out again, phisto."
phisto, who also had a victory, nodded in response. "No problem at all. The division between the Path of Reincarnation's periphery and the outside should be enough for the Relic to have no effect on anyone."
At the sa ti, the twins were having trouble contacting the Dinsional Realm. 'Sister Orb, answer us! Sister Orb!'
Inside the Dinsional Realm, Kentucky, Celis, and Luan were holding the Soul Gem Orb, but it seed lifeless. "The sparks of black and white light stopped. The Dinsional Realm is not shaking anymore, either. Just what happened?"
Celis shook his head. "As if I would know. Sister Orb isn't answering at all."
"We need to wake her up," Luan said. "Father and Uncle Rean should have noticed it, but they aren't talking to us at all."
"How do you even wake up a Soul Gem Orb?" Kentucky asked back.
The three went into silence for a mont when suddenly Kentucky rembered sothing. "Put Sister Orb back on the ground for a mont."
Celis and Luan nodded, thinking that Kentucky had an idea.
"Wake up, you piece of shit!"
*Bang!*
With a kick, Kentucky sent Sister Orb flying!
"WHAT?!"
Celis and Luan's mouths instantly went agape. "What the hell are you doing?!"
However, Kentucky didn't stop there. His body flashed as he controlled his Spatial Powers to reappear right in front of the flying orb.
*Bang! Crash!*
Another kick and Sister Orb was sent back against the ground, creating a small crater with the impact.
Celis tried to stop Kentucky, but Kentucky used his Divine Sense to ask Celis to believe him.
Kentucky continued, "It's always your fault! You're useless! What bullshit system is this?"
*Bang, bang, bang...*
"Sister Orb, no, Sister Annorb! What the fuck is brotherly affection? Brotherly affection, my ass!"
*Bang, bang, bang...*
Kentucky once again approached it, ready to give the orb another kick. Unfortunately, it didn't work this ti.
*Vup!*
Sister Orb suddenly disappeared, reappearing right behind Kentucky this ti. It didn't matter how good Kentucky was with Spatial Powers or how strong his cultivation was. In the Soul Gem Dinsional Realm, Sister Orb was a god! [Fuck you! Brotherly affection is necessary!]
*Boom!*
She used the Dinsional Realm to lock Kentucky down and hit him rcilessly.
"Sister Orb, wait!"
Kentucky tried to stop her, but Sister Orb didn't care.
*Bang, bang, bang, boom!*
Celis and Luan couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs. Kentucky had the strongest defense in their group, including the twins. But even so, he was being massacred. Neither of the two dared to say a word.
It wasn't before Kentucky got several of his bones broken that the twins' voice finally echoed in the Soul Gem Dinsional Realm.
'Sister Orb, enough already. Kentucky was trying to help you.'
[Huh?]
Only then did Sister Orb rember what happened.
[Wait! The System had a failure!]
Light Elent accumulated around Kentucky, and his ssy body lay on the ground. "Hehe-he... see? I-It worked..."
Back then, the twins did the sa thing to Sister Orb, which ended up in the sa way. Kentucky heard it from Sister Orb herself.
Well, it was fine, as Kentucky could heal himself with enough ti.
Finally, the twins took the chance to ask. 'Sister Orb, just what happened back there? Why did the System go crazy after seeing the Underworld Relic?'
