*Boom!*
Hifran didn't mind it at all since the Plate had no effect on him. Even if it did, he probably wouldn't back down. That's because the Elder Devil Blood Plate was just too rare and hard to create. Now that he had used it, he had to bring the Fragment back. Otherwise, the Elder Devil who gave it to him would skin Hifran alive.
For a moment, it was as if a Red Sun appeared in the center of the room, blasting against the barrier of the two fragments that were fighting each other. Hifran only wanted an opening so that he could snatch one of the fragments. As for how he would escape after that, he would think about it once he got one of the Fragments.
A breach in the barrier of energy of the two fragments momentarily appeared. In a certain way, it was because both fragments were fighting each other that most of the energy of their duel was lost in the clash. Even Hifran's Plate would never break through that obstacle if the Fragments were using that energy to protect themselves.
But then again, the Fragments didn't have a will or sentience of their own. They just saw each other as an enemy that must be eliminated, that's all. Regardless of what happened in the room, they would continue to try and clash against each other.
"You're mine!" Hifran exclaimed as he reached with his hand to snatch the biggest Fragment, the foreign one.
Yet, it was at that moment that the voice of another Devil further back reached his ears! "Behind you!"
To Hifran's disbelief, two figures appeared within his three meters range of Divine Sense and Natural Spatial Perception. "What?! Impossible!"
Naturally, these two figures were none other than Rean and Roan. Hifran couldn't understand how Rean and Roan got that close to him since the Elder Devil Plate's Explosion hadn't even died out yet. Something that strong was supposed to have killed any of the Space-Time Realm experts in that room, let alone two Space Bending Realm ants.
The truth was, the Plate's explosion couldn't affect Hifran because it created a space of a few meters around him that was safe for him to stay. There was no way he could fight the explosion of that Plate himself. Just as the Plate was about to explode, Luan warned the twins with his Divine Sense about it and just how powerful it was going to be. He could see the loss of control in the energy inside the Plate with his eyes.
That made the twins ponder the issue for a moment. If the explosion was as powerful as Luan's eyes predicted, there was no way the Devil himself would survive. But then again, Devils are definitely one of the most selfish races in the Cultivation Universe. The twins were absolutely sure that the Devil wasn't trying to suicide. In the end, Rean and Roan decided to stay very close to the Devil before the explosion. If things went south, they would immediately enter the Dimensional Realm.
Since both the Divine Sense and Natural Spatial Perceptions were reduced to a range of only three meters, Hifran obviously couldn't notice Rean and Roan until they appeared on his side.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Hifran's mind. 'Thanks for the help. We can take it from here.'
'Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!'
'Death Style, Death Scythe!'
Hifran had absolutely nowhere to go. Even though he opened a breach in the energies of the fragments, he was right inside this opening. He couldn't go forward nor back, not to mention he had used almost all his energy with his time power just now. Above all, he truly didn't believe someone would be crazy enough to get near the explosion of the Elder Devil Blood Plate.
*Swish, swish, swish, swish!*
The twins' full-power attack, which wasn't hindered by the Spaceship's Restrictions due to their Clearance Levels, hit Hifran's weakened body at point-blank range.
*Arrrrrrrgghhhhhhh!*
Hifran only had enough time to scream as his body was cut to pieces. The twins didn't have anything against the guy, but it wasn't the time to be soft either.
Devil Blood splashed everywhere, being completely burnt by the Fragments' Energies on the surroundings. Hifran's body parts were then destroyed instantly as soon as he touched those energies as well. Rean and Roan only had time to see Hifran's Nascent Soul shooting out of his body and dash into the distance, ignoring everything.
Yes, at the Space-Time Realm, one is able to escape one's own body with their Nascent Souls alone. It's just that they were extremely vulnerable in such a form. The twins knew it and didn't try to stop Hifran. After all, Hifran wouldn't present any danger to the two of them in that state.
Instead, they immediately shifted their attention to the two fragments right in front. They probably wouldn't get another opportunity like this one where the other experts of the Space-Time Realm couldn't get close due to the explosion and Tanxan's assault.
'Sister Orb, now!'
[On it!]
Immediately, Sister Orb created a Spatial Passage between the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and the outside world. Just like the other times, the Fragment outside felt the presence of the Fragments inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. They attracted each other, with the already fused fragments inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm having a much bigger pull.
Sister Orb also made sure that the presence of the Foreign Fragment couldn't be felt inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Otherwise, instead of the twins' Fragments pulling the right Fragment inside, their Fragments would try to leave the Dimensional Realm instead, trying to attack the Foreign Fragment.
The twins could see how their own Universe Foundation Fragment struggled between its desire to join the other fragments and attack the Foreign one. But in the end, the fact the twins had so many fragments inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm created a much bigger force than the desire to destroy the opponent.
*Zush!*
The Universe Foundation Fragment then shot inside the passage, which closed right behind. The Foreign Fragment tried to follow. Unfortunately for it, there was no way Sister Orb would let it enter. In the end, it failed to perceive the Fragment it was fighting against a moment ago and returned to its normal state. That also meant the sphere of energy created by the clash of the two fragments disappeared without a trace, leaving the twins floating in the middle of the Reactor Room.
