"There is no need to worry about me," Sesame immediately stopped them. "I'm at the Divinity Realm, just like the Elder Devils of this Underworld. Besides, I have an advantage that they don't have. I might not be able to leave this place because of my connection with it. But at the same time, I'm pretty much one with this environment. If I decide to hide here, no Elder Devil, Archangel, or Divinity Realm being can hope to find me."
Gem nodded. "Besides, it is not like Sesame can't leave at all. As long as he doesn't stay too long outside, he can take some trips around. At the Divinity Realm, Sesame can very well travel a good amount of places in the Underworld and still be back before his 100 years are up. He just can't leave the Underworld since it would completely sever his connection with this land."
The twins' group was obviously satisfied with that. "Alright, then it is decided. Let's go and take the fragment away."
However, Sesame still hasn't finished talking. "Not so fast. I did indeed say you could take the fragment away. But there is a small problem."
Roan faintly smiled when he heard that. "I thought you would never mention."
Rean looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What are you talking about?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Roan was surprised that the others hadn't noticed it yet, though. "The fragment fell in the center of this land and created this Space-Time effect that kept everyone out. That said, why hasn't Sesame taken it for himself yet?"
Sure enough, everyone's eyes turned in Sesame's direction. Considering the power of the fragment, it would definitely be a great addition to Sesame's power.
Sesame didn't deny it. "Roan is right. I tried to go there and take this fragment you mentioned. Unfortunately, it was impossible for me to do so. And let's not forget that I'm really strong in this land."
"Why is that?" Everyone immediately asked back.
*Swup!*
Instead of answering, Sesame waved his paw in the air. Right after, space was torn apart, revealing a spatial gate. "It will be faster if I show it to you first."
The twins' group had traveled like that before with the help of the Light Devil Clan, so they didn't ask anything. Sesame just grabbed them with his own spatial powers and entered the gate with everyone. Even without Divine Energy, nothing inside the dangerous environment of the fabric of space could reach their group.
*Shuu!*
Another spatial gate appeared near the center of the land, quickly revealing a black cat and several other figures. Sesame and the twins' group then landed on the top of a high hill, right in front of what seemed to be a giant sphere of silver and golden light.
Everyone was surprised with what they saw, but not as much as Luan. "So much Spatial Power!" In his elemental eyes, that Sphere of light was pretty much a sun. It was even hard to look at it directly. "If we get anywhere near it, we will be destroyed all the way down to our cells in an instant!"
Sesame knew what Luan was talking about. "You are correct. Even with my powers, I wasn't able to get anywhere near that thing, let alone take this so-called fragment from the inside. At the very least, I can't tell what is hidden inside that Sphere over there. Sure, I can get a lot closer to it than where we are now if I go alone, but I still can't approach it for real. As for you, this hill is as far as you can go without being affected by it with your cultivations."
Sesame continued. "The silver light is obviously a side effect of Spatial Power. As for the golden light, that is the time effect." Sesame then raised his paw and gathered Spatial Laws over it. Silver light shined there for everyone to see. "At my level, it is easy for me to make Spatial Power visible to the naked eye. However, time is in an absolutely different league. If I had access to Divine Origin Energy and used all my strength, I might be able to gather s tiny amount of Time Laws. Still, it wouldn't be enough to make it visible like what you can see in that Sphere over there."
Indeed. The Sphere was pretty much made of half Silver Light and half Golden Light. That was an amount of concentrated Time Laws that most likely no one would be able to gather.
Sesame then looked back at everyone. "I hope you have some plan to deal with it because I definitely don't have one. Trust me, I tried it countless times until I finally gave up."
Rean narrowed his eyes in response. "Sesame is also stronger just for being in this place, but he is still helpless against that Sphere. We definitely have no chance against that thing."
Gem was quite puzzled, though. "Something doesn't seem right. Why is this fragment affecting the space outside the walls of Sesame's Land but not this land itself? If anything, the effects were supposed to be several times higher inside this land than anywhere else in the Swamp of no Return."
Luan immediately answered that, as he could see much more with his eyes. "You were wrong. You can't see it, but I can. This Sphere generates some kind of 'no-touch' zone. I'm not talking about the Silver and Golden Light you can see. Instead, I'm talking about the zone between it and the outside walls. The Swamp of No Return abilities is somewhat of a side effect of Space and Time being messed up by this Sphere's presence. As soon as you take this Sphere away, everything will return to normal... or so I think."
Gem couldn't help but feel surprised by Luan. "Not only your eyes, but your head is quite good, kid. Roan did a great job with you."
Luan scratched the back of his head with a smile. "Thanks."
However, Roan himself was thinking about something else. Suddenly, he called Sister Orb. "Sister Orb, can you come out a little?"
[Uh? Sure...] Immediately, the Light and Dark Orb appeared outside, feeling puzzled.
*Grab!*
Right after, Roan took it and made a pitcher baseball pose with Sister Orb in his hand. "There! You! GO!"
*Vup!*
Sure enough, using all his Starlight Body and Soul Origin Energy, he threw Sister Orb in the Silver and Golden Light's direction, much to everyone's shock!
"What the hell?!"
People could only hear some cursing from the ray of white and dark light in the distance. [Fuck youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....!!!!!]
