"Wait, did you say the other side?" They asked Sister Orb.
[Yes. It simply disappeared and reappeared there.]
Roan looked at the place where the tiny snake was a mont ago. "We tried opening Spatial Gates before, but they don’t work in here. Yet, that snake managed to open one, and I saw sothing that looked like a Ti Plate, although very small."
The others understood what he ant. "The only one who probably can open a Spatial Gate in this place is the Chronoblade Serpent itself. Well, that Ti Plate that seed to have been used to open the Spatial Gate was nothing like the others. All the Ti Plates so far have several ters, so even tens of ters in size."
[But it has to be it,] Sister Orb insisted. [The fact that it fled, could see you, and used a Ti Plate can only an that it is the Chronoblade Serpent’s Soul.]
Kentucky turned back to his original form, ready to take flight. "Alright, let’s not waste ti. Jump on my back. We are going straight to the Soul."
Everyone did that, and Kentucky shot into the distance. It’s just that they still had doubts.
"Alright... how can we capture it?" Foliana asked.
"I’m more curious about the quest," Tanxan ntioned. "The Quest is all about freeing the primordial beasts, right? Did it look imprisoned to you?"
"Maybe it is imprisoned inside that form," Rean comnted.
There were too many questions, and they could only ask the Chronoblade Serpent itself. Of course, they could also check with their other sources, so Rean called Laiana again as Kentucky flew after the snake.
-A tiny snake?- Laiana was taken aback by Rean’s description of the events. -I’ve never seen Xyrath in such a form, that’s for sure.-
"Do you think he could be locked inside that form sohow?" Rean asked on his CD.
-Maybe.- Laiana spoke about what she knew. -Next ti, when you see it, talk about my entangled tentacles again. Perhaps you will get a response from it.-
The twins’ group nodded and let it up to Kentucky to get there as fast as possible.
Since they weren’t looking for anything, Kentucky didn’t have to hold back. He crossed the skies like a streak of black and white lightning, passing by various groups and lone experts. No one tried to stop him, not daring to cause trouble for soone who could fly that fast.
Rean was using the Divine Sense Bending Skill, so those who saw Kentucky couldn’t tell which cultivation he had. Everyone thought he was definitely in the Divinity Realm at the very least. As for the Light Bending, it wouldn’t be of much use since the disturbance Kentucky’s flight was causing while moving at full speed was too big for Rean to cover. Rean only made sure their appearances couldn’t be seen.
In any case, it only took the twins’ group a single day to cross the entire Future Realm. Kentucky stopped above a valley, down there, a tiny snake was looking at them. Without a doubt, that was the sa one as before, as this valley didn’t have any other snake of the sa kind.
Kentucky ca down, but didn’t approach too much. Instead, Rean ca out and spoke. "Senior Xyrath, Laiana needs help with her entangled tentacles."
*Plang!*
As soon as Rean said that, the snake used its tiny Ti Plate to open another Spatial Gate and disappeared once again. It was too fast, to the point that no one could stop it.
[Well... At least it didn’t go all the way to the other side of the Future Realm, just halfway...]
Rean and the others shook their heads. Following that, he contacted Laiana again and told her what happened. "Do you know a way to stop it?"
-Hum...- Laiana pondered a bit, an idea appearing in her mind. -Oh, right! It used a Ti Plate to open a Spatial Gate. Back then, I found a way to ss with his Ti Plates, even if just for a second.-
She continued. -As soon as he makes that tiny Ti Plate appear, I want you to use your Ti Power to slow down ti.-
Rean narrowed his eyes. "But that is a very common thing to do. Wouldn’t sothing this simple be easily countered by a being of his level?"
-I haven’t finished yet. Once you do that, Xyrath will naturally fight back against the effect. As you said, he could easily negate it. However, once he tries to do that, I want you to do the opposite and try to accelerate ti around the Ti Plate. Ti is the only thing that can affect the Ti Plates, and this sudden change of direction can throw Xyrath off his ga. But be aware that it will only work once.-
Rean looked at Roan. They still felt it was quite an easy thing to fight against. But perhaps Xyrath had so kind of problem that didn’t let him prepare for this kind of change. "Alright, we will give it a try."
-Good! Keep the line open. I want to hear everything.-
[Alright, follow my directions, Kentucky.]
Kentucky once again flew away, this ti taking only half a day to get to the snake. It obviously noticed their arrival, looking straight at them despite all the concealing skills the twins’ group was using.
Rean and Roan worked together this ti, though. They got as close as they could, trying to talk to it. Too bad it ignored them and tried to flee again after they approached.
The tiny Ti Plate ca out of the snake’s body, the snake trying to open another Spatial Gate.
Rean noticed that, controlling his Ti Power to slow down ti around the snake and the Ti Plate. Naturally, the Snake countered it with its own Ti Power, but it was at that mont that Roan took action.
Rean let go of his Ti Power, and Roan accelerated the ti. One would think that the snake would escape even faster now that everything was accelerated. Yet, it didn’t happen.
*Bzzz...*
The Ti Plate seed to react in a weird way, and the Snake had to work double to get the reaction under control. Just like Laiana said, it only worked for a second, but that was enough for the twins.
*Grab!*
"Gotcha!"
Rean finally caught the snake, which wriggled nonstop in his hand, trying to get itself free. The Ti Plate returned to its body, but no Spatial Gate was opened this ti. It was weird. Other than its power to open Spatial Gates, it was truly weak. Rean felt that if he squeezed a little harder, he would kill the snake.
"Senior Xyrath, calm down. We just want to talk!" Rean spoke, trying to get the snake to stop moving. Unfortunately, it looked more like the tiny snake was willing to die trying than to do anything else.
"Guess we can only have Sister Orb check on it..." Rean said, preparing to enter the Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm.
However, Roan stopped him. "Don’t do it the normal way. If it has a Ti Playe inside its body, you know that the pulling force of the Dinsional Realm won’t bring it inside. Instead, you will disappear alone, and the Snake will be left behind."
Roan waved his hand, and a portal leading into the Celestial Soul Dinsional Realm appeared. "Let’s enter using the sa way you did to the Ti Plates."
Rean nodded, and everyone passed through the portal. Finally, it closed, and they disappeared inside the Dinsional Realm.
