As Sister Orb checked the artifact’s energy, Roan kept his Divine Sense spread, looking for any clues that soone was after them. Still, it was pretty tricky, since various Divine Senses were watching him, which was what anyone would expect. He was that famous.
[Done!] Sister Orb finally spoke. [Go back to your room and enter the Dinsional Realm.]
Roan didn’t waste ti, returning to the academy and entering his room. From there, he entered the Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm.
[Alright, let’s give it a try.]
Sister Orb looked through Roan’s body from head to toe, and finally found what she was looking for. [Wow! It’s just beside your soul! It even created a tiny space for itself.]
"Hum?" Roan was taken aback. "The sa energy?"
[Yes!] Sister Orb confird. [No wonder I couldn’t detect it before. It hid truly, truly well. It also explains why the system didn’t catch it when it attached itself to you. It is not really touching your soul, just extrely, extrely close to it. Do you know what makes it impressive? After you started using the new cultivation technique, your souls are not inside your heads, but present all over your body.]
[Every cell of your body has so of your soul in it. So, in theory, this Golden Energy shouldn’t have been able to enter your body without touching your soul. That ans the system should have caught its presence and protected you from it. However, what this Golden Energy did was to push just an almost impossibly small part of your soul away from a little corner of your body and attach itself there. By the way, it is where you have your fake Werdlem Divine Stone.]
"Where exactly?" Roan asked, finding it difficult to discern the energy.
[Alright, I’ll show you. Use your Divine Sense and follow my lead.]
Roan nodded and followed Sister Orb’s directions. Finally, he found the Golden Energy where the fake Werdlem Stone existed, just a minuscule, tiny bit of it, truly imperceptible in most cases. Not only that, but Roan noticed sothing else. "The Celestial Laws of the Golden Sphere... it is also present."
*Zush!*
Rean appeared in the Celestial Dinsional Realm imdiately. "Here I am. Sister Orb, I need to go back outside soon, so check as well."
[Yes.] Sister Orb already knew where to look, and it only took a second. [The sa goes for you. It is there, follow my lead with your Divine Sense.]
It didn’t take long for Rean to find it as well. "So this is what that Golden Sphere Monster was using to track us down, uh? I guess it is safe to say Kentucky and Celis also have it."
[Do you want to pull it out? Now that I know about it, I can get rid of the Golden Energy in an instant while you are inside the Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm. It will never get past undetected again.]
Roan pondered a bit. "Is it harmful?"
[Doesn’t seem to be,] Sister Orb said. [The amount of Golden Energy and the Celestial Laws inside it is truly, truly small. It simply doesn’t have the power to cause any damage whatsoever. Besides, you guys also have your own Celestial Laws stored in your souls. You can’t use it yet, but it still protects you against the Celestial Laws in that Golden Energy to a certain extent. Not to ntion that if it tries anything against your souls, the system will take action and protect you too.]
"Then leave it," Roan decided to not touch it for now. "Instead, I want you to search the Werdlem Network for information regarding the Judgental Eye. Sothing tells even the academy doesn’t really know what it is. If they did, they would have known by now that Kentucky managed to survive the attack and would make a move on him themselves, but they didn’t."
[Makes sense. Also, if they knew the Judgental Eye had this kind of power, they would never have used it to simply check the potential of a group of youngsters attempting to enter the Military Academy over the years. That Golden Sphere that attacked you... If the academy could control the Judgental Eye’s ability to create it, they could even try to conquer other continents by making many more of those Golden Spheres. Just a single one of those is definitely as strong as a Peak Stage Divinity Realm expert, albeit quite dumb.]
Kentucky was hearing the conversation, but he was still guarding the Envoy back in Lobokian Country. So, only his voice echoed inside. ’Alright, from what we talked so far, we aren’t 100% sure it was the Judgental Eye that made that Golden Sphere. Still, the energies are definitely the sa, so at the very least, they are connected.’
’Yes,’ Roan confird.
’So, what do we do? Wait for another one of those Golden Spheres to appear and co after us?’ Kentucky asked the real question.
Roan thought about it. ’The best would be for soone to keep observing the Judgental Eye, one of the four of us who got the highest Golden Radiance Level. Sister Orb can use the system to observe it closely and see if it will do anything again.’
[That is possible. But I think I know what made the Judgental Eye take action.]
Rean knew where Sister Orb was coming from. ’We have been part of the academy for a while, but only after Kentucky stepped out of the continent did the Golden Sphere appear. While we were inside the continent, it did nothing. So... it is likely related to a certain range. If we cross that range, the Judgental Eye will send sothing after us... or so the theory goes.’
[So you noticed it as well. Yes, I think that is a big possibility. The best way to test it is to have one of you leave the continent again. Well, not exactly the continent, but the range of detection of the Judgental Eye... wait! That’s it!]
"That’s what?" Roan asked.
[If the theory that the Golden Sphere appeared after Kentucky left the range is true, then it is likely because the Judgental Eye couldn’t track us after a certain distance is crossed. It might have considered us as fugitives or sothing like that. That would also explain why it never took action against us, even though we had been part of the academy for over a year.]
"Well..." Rean got ready to get out of the Dinsional Realm. "Then we will find the answer very soon. Just like Kentucky, my task will also bring out of the Runia Continent. I just ca inside the Dinsional Realm to check if I had the sa tracker on , which Sister Orb confird I do."
’I don’t think it will act again straight away, though,’ Kentucky ntioned. ’Did you forget? When you ca to help , you also left the continent. Yet, no extra Golden Spheres appeared to deal with you. The Judgental Eye might be without enough energy or the ans to create another one of those Golden Spheres.’
"That’s not it," Rean added. "Sister Orb, keep observing the Judgental Eye. It might not have the energy to create another one of those Golden Sphere Monsters at the mont, but it should show so kind of reaction once I leave its detection range. If it does, then we will know your theory was right."
[Good! Roan, go out again and stay close to the Judgental Eye. I will check it.]
Roan left straight away.
Following that, Rean also disappeared from the Dinsional Realm. He joined his group, giving an excuse that he had to enter his Pocket Dinsional Realm to prepare for a mont. The leader of his group complained a little, but since Rean was doing a great job during this mission, he didn’t insist on it.
Let’s not forget that Rean’s mission was to help resolve so troubles with the trading routes between the Runia and Kloweqi Continents. It wasn’t anything major, but it would require him to leave the continent and go quite deep into Kloweqi before he was done.
Finally, Rean’s group t with the representatives of the Kloweqi Continent, and they prepared to teleport away. The formation activated, a silver light followed, and Rean’s group disappeared.
As soon as that happened...
[Ha! Got you! Sure enough, I’m always right!] Sister Orb said, excited.
"Until you aren’t," Roan added with a snort.
Just now, the Judgental Eye did indeed react to Rean’s exit from the continent. However, the Golden Energy that Sister Orb was tracking was pretty much nonexistent at the mont.
Sister Orb completely ignored Roan’s remark. [Alright, the Judgental Eye’s Iris moved, although you can’t see it because the eye is closed. It looked exactly in Rean’s direction once Rean left. It tried to do sothing, but the Golden Energy inside seems to have so trouble circulating. Other than that, I can’t tell anything else. This thing is not a formation, so I can’t hack into it.]
Roan was satisfied. ’That’s more than enough. Rean, keep your guard up. Sister Orb said the artifact couldn’t do whatever it wanted to, but there are no guarantees that this artifact is the only thing related to that Golden Sphere. If another one of those Spheres appears, don’t fight it. Instead, co back to the Runia Continent with a Spatial Gate before that Golden Light area reaches you and blocks your Spatial Powers. Perhaps the Golden Sphere will disappear if you return to the Judgental Eye’s detection range.’
’Hum... I think the Judgental Eye isn’t my only trouble right now...’ Rean comnted. As soon as he arrived in Kloweqi, the Red Color of Killing Intent appeared around him. ’Right... the Judgental Eye wasn’t the only one trying to kill us, now was it?’
