Of course, they had to discuss other matters before going their separate ways. Roan was the first to raise a concern. "Alright, but we still need Spiegel to bring us back to Heaven after we leave this place. How do we rendezvous once we're out? And what if you guys die here while we escape out? Will we have no one to return us to Heaven, at least?"
Spiegel understood their dilemma. "That's true." He then produced a White Token that gleamed with a peculiar red light. "This Token is connected to my bloodline. As long as you are in the vicinity of the Ruins of the Stars, I can definitely sense your presence. I'm not sure if it will work inside the Ruins, though. After all, the token is influenced by Spatial Laws, and the Space in this place is unlike any other."
Waremis then handed the twins a different token from Spiegel. This one bore the image of an Archangel, although the twins couldn't recognize which one. "If Spiegel and I can't make it out in the end, you can use this token to seek assistance from the angels to return to Heaven. Simply place Roan in your Dimensional Realm and impersonate an Angel. Your Angel Transformation is flawless, so no Angel will overlook your problem of lacking a way back. However, the Archangels may investigate your Dimensional Realm to see what you acquired at that time. Still, it's better than being trapped here."
For the twins, these alternative measures were more than sufficient. If anything were to happen beyond that, they could only blame their misfortune. "Thank you, Spiegel, Waremis. In that case, we shall depart from here."
Waremis and Spiegel each retained a bracelet of each element and nodded at the twins. "Good. While I may not care all that much, I still hope you make it out of this place alive. You have a bright future ahead of you, so it wouldn't hurt to be acquainted. Besides, Aelrie is quite fond of you two as well."
Spiegel then enveloped Waremis with his Heavenly Energy and shot off into the distance. After all, this place was the size of a small continent, and he had a long journey ahead without the ability to utilize Spatial Gates or Spatial Powers.
Watching Spiegel and Waremis disappear into the distance, Rean sighed with relief. "Fortunately, they accepted the deal."
Roan agreed. "I was worried that they might try to kill us once they obtained the bracelets, considering we would have little use for them anymore. It's not like we have a pact with them like the Devils have with each other. I don't even know if the Angels have something similar."
"I was thinking the same thing," Rean acknowledged the truth of it.
"Let's go. We need to leave this place first in case they return," Roan wasted no time and immediately flew in another direction. Rean, naturally, followed suit. Meanwhile, they concealed Waremis and Spiegel's Tokens within the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, ensuring they couldn't be tracked.
A few hours later, the twins landed on the metallic ground once again. Throughout their flight, everything remained as monotonous as when they left the tunnel. However, it didn't matter. They knew it wouldn't stay that way, considering they were just outside a Spaceship. Moreover, they had seen from afar that the Spaceship had many distinct areas. It was just that the smooth metallic terrain covered most of the outer shell.
*Vup, Vup!*
Suddenly, a Black and White bird, along with a young man, appeared beside the twins. They were none other than Kentucky and Luan.
"Oh! Finally out again!" Kentucky exclaimed excitedly, spreading his wings. The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was truly enormous, yet Kentucky still felt confined within it.
Luan immediately activated his Elemental Pupils as he surveyed the surroundings. "No wonder Spiegel mentioned the stagnant Space here. I can see it with my eyes and sense it with my Space Affinity. It's the complete opposite of what we encountered back in the Swamp of No Return, where there was a constant flow."
Once again, the twins relied on Luan to determine their course. "How is it, Luan? Any idea which direction we should head? Can you locate the source of this stagnant Space?"
Luan shook his head. "It's completely still. At the moment, I can't discern any paths, Father, Uncle Rean." He then glanced at Kentucky, who was soaring above. "However, if we keep flying for a while, I might be able to detect variations in the degree of stagnation in different locations. That could help us decide which direction to take."
Upon hearing this, Kentucky descended from the skies—well, not that there was a real sky there. "Then hop on my back, and let's get going. Oh, one more thing. I tried flying as high as I could, and it was the same as other enclosed spaces. There is a limit to how high I can go. In this place, I can't ascend beyond 3 kilometers. Once I surpass that altitude, I can sense a Dark and Light Element barrier that prevents entry. I might have Light and Dark Element Affinity, but even I felt fear when I sensed the power of that barrier. I'd be 100% dead if I attempted to force my way through."
Rean shrugged. "If it were that easy to escape, I would have my doubts. Nevertheless, three kilometers of altitude is quite significant. It's impressive that this Spaceship's protection barrier extends so far from its hull."
"Forget about that," Roan interjected. "Let's go."
The three of them mounted Kentucky before he shot off into the distance. As always, the twins maintained Rean's Divine Sense and Light Bending Skill, which proved particularly effective in a place where Divine Sense had limited reach. Simply put, they were confident in their ability to hide from anyone. That's why they weren't concerned about parting ways with Spiegel and Waremis. So what if they were weaker than most experts in this place? It simply didn't matter as long as they were never discovered!
