"That's quite on time indeed..." Roan pondered a bit about the issue. "Are there any preparations needed before going?"
"Not really," Spiegel answered. "As soon as the time comes, we will go there and wait our turn. There isn't any cap on how many can get inside. As long as one can get someone capable of achieving harmony with the barrier, they can get in. Of course, except the Elder Devils, Archangels, and Divinity Realm experts."
Roan thought about it. "Do you think someone will find a way to enter with huge numbers within the other powers?"
Spiegel immediately shook his head. "I have no idea. You can't really expect the other powers to tell their secrets, right? I can't even tell if our Angel Races can do something similar or not. How can I say... Our status within our Angel Races is quite special."
Roan didn't really care about that anyway. "Is that so? Anyway, what about the time when we get inside? What do you expect us to do when we are there with you? Above all, what guarantee do we have that you won't kill us as soon as we get you inside?"
Spiegel shrugged his shoulders. "Guarantees? There is none. You can only trust me, or I can simply deliver you to the Angels looking for the guys who got past the Temporal Gap. Perhaps I might kill right here and now if you refuse. All I know is that you are the ones owing a favor, not me."
Well, Rean and Roan weren't really thinking Spiegel would give them anything like that. It's just that it costs nothing to ask. "Alright, so what about my first question? What do we need to do once inside there?"
"For now, you only need to follow me," Spiegel explained. "Since the entrance already needs this harmonization of Dark and Light Elements, there is a good chance we will need it to get access or even escape some situations. Whether you believe it or not, you are worth more to me alive than dead. I will try to protect you as much as I can."
"Okay, that should be enough for now." Rean and Roan could only accept it.
Spiegel then looked at Aelrie. "Since you know them, take care of these two. I have other things to do before I leave."
"Leave it to me, Father." Aelrie also wanted to talk to the twins, so she didn't mind.
Spiegel then left the room, leaving the twins and Aelrie together. "Come with me, you two. We have a room prepared for you."
"A prison, to be more specific, right?" Rean answered with a bitter smile.
"Oh, come on! At least we will treat you cordially during your stay." Aelrie didn't deny it. "Or could it be you would rather be thrown into a real prison?"
·?θm Roan ignored that, though. "Aren't you afraid that we will attack you now that Spiegel has left? I'll be honest, you are definitely not our match, and we don't need the other's help to deal with you."
Aelrie smiled in response. "You can try. Sure, after seeing Rean's reaction, I don't think I can defeat you. However, I am very confident I can survive even if you attack at the same time. Besides, what guarantee do you have that you aren't being observed by the experts of my clan?"
Rean and Roan looked at each other. At the moment, the only Angel using Divine Sense with cultivation high enough to threaten them was Spiegel. There were indeed other Divine Senses, including some at the Elemental Space Realm. However, with the twins' real strength, even those Elemental Space Realm Angels didn't really matter. Of course, they wouldn't tell Aelrie about Rean's Divine Sense Bending Skill.
"Also, don't forget that I might have left another tracker on you. Hehe!" Aelrie completed, feeling very proud of herself.
[Nope, there is nothing.] Too bad Sister Orvb was there. [As long as she used the same method, I can guarantee that there is nothing attached to your bodies.]
"I see..." Rean smiled back at her. "Then we will be very careful."
A few minutes later, Rean and Roan were brought to an isolated room in the building. Aelrie followed them inside, showing the place while talking. "Okay, you can stay here. You have everything, a Heavenly Energy Gathering Formation, in case you can use this type of energy. Most cultivators at your level don't need food anymore, but some still like it, so we have it here too. If you need anything specific, you can ask the servants that we will leave here."
Aelrie then changed the topic. "Now, tell me more about you. We haven't seen each other for so long. What have you been up to?"
Rean felt quite strange hearing that. "We aren't that close for you to suddenly treat us as long-time friends, you know?"
"Sigh..." Aelrie didn't give up. "It's not that bad, right? I mean, I still saved your lives, so we are connected. It's just that every time I try to do something, someone comes out and brings me back. I need some fun."
Roan nodded. "Then how about you tell more about yourself instead? What are you doing in the Realm of Gods back then?"
"I told you, didn't I?" Aelrie answered. "I went there to capture the Star Raven. Piro is a great friend of mine now."
"Just that?" Rean and Roan asked back, not quite believing it.
Still, Aelrie nodded. "Yeap, just it. I was scolded quite a lot because of that trip."
Rean couldn't help but wonder. "But... how did you enter the Realm of Gods? The Devils were in control of the Temporal Path back then. Other than Archangels who can travel between the Three Higher Realms of their power alone, others shouldn't be able to do it."
Aelrie looked away, pretending she didn't hear the question.
However, Roan immediately understood. "Oh-ho... It's quite simple, isn't it? Heavens and the Underworld aren't the only ones with an alternative Temporal Gap, right?"
Aelrie sighed in response. "Sigh... I thought you would figure it out sooner or later. Yeap, there is one at the moment. If you help Father in the Ruins of the Stars, it is not impossible to let you use it. How about that?"
That's exactly what Rean and Roan wanted to hear. "Sounds like a plan."
