Chapter 3236 We Need a Spaceship!

"Exactly," Rifindio nodded. "It wasn't really that close, to be honest, so I completely forgot about it until now. Besides, it was a request to help improve the Werdlem Network, so it sure wasn't overboard or anything."

All the pieces began to fall together in Roan's head. "The Abyssal Soul needed you to be closer to take control over you. Just like it happened with Duere, you would 'coincidentally' find that Dimensional Realm and enter it. In the end, it was Duere who found it first."

[Why wait for someone like Rifindio or someone from the Divine Realm? Using that alliance and the Inquisition Hall's authority, it should have been able to start that plan much earlier, no?] Sister Orb, who had been silent until now, finally asked something.

Roan already knew the answer. "That wouldn't work. This plan required all seven inhabited planets to build the formations together. Not to mention the monumental amount of resources. If the Abyssal Soul tried to bring all the leaders of all Inquisition Halls under its wings, chances are one of them would spill the beans. Not to mention, many of them probably have their free will taken, so they couldn't betray the Inquisition Hall."

Roan looked at Rifindio. "Let me guess. Since those three leaders of the Closal Planet's Inquisition Hall were from the Divine Realm, they didn't need to have their free will taken with the Werdlem Soul Worms like the various other top experts of the Inquisition Hall, right?"

"Correct," Rifindio confirmed Roan's words.

"There you have it," Roan continued. "Only someone who didn't have a Werdlem Soul Worms could be persuaded. However, those three didn't have the authority to make such a ridiculous move over the entire Solar System. The Abyssal Soul needed someone from the Divine Realm to be able to order all planets around without anyone asking any questions. Karev's brother probably knew about it, and he also knew about the Divine Realm visitors that come down from time to time. Everything aligns at this point."

Rean couldn't help but mention. "That was some crazy luck if you ask me. The leaders died when we were dragged into the black hole, and its so cherished Camaztoz Bat was dragged inside as well. Yet, another Camazotz Bat just so happened to get close to the Abyssal Soul's Dimensional Realm while looking for Rifindio. Not only he got someone from the Divine Realm, he actually got someone from the Supreme Palace on top of that. Amazing, don't you think?"

Rean and Roan recognized that mode of operating. Back in the Lisan Universe's Mortal Realm, using the same regional clusters, it also had special locations where one could go down from the Realm of Gods. The twins even used it once to go back to the Mortal Realm. "Permission to go to the Divine Realm, uh?" Rean rubbed his chin, his eyes closed as he thought about it. "Now that I think about it, what about the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest? The winner gets their Werdlem Stone swapped for a Divine Werdlem Stone, and then this expert is brought to the Divine Realm, right? Does that mean the winner gets permission directly from the Divine Realm?"

Rifindio confirmed Rean's words. "That's pretty much it. Do you intend to take part in the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest? I don't even know if the Inquisition Hall will still carry the contest on in seven months. If I were the one in charge of the Inquisition Hall, I would cancel this year's contest and hold a new one a thousand years later. At the very least, I wouldn't have one in the next decade. Oh! And let's not forget Karev stole the Divine Werdlem Stones, so it should be even more unlikely for this contest to happen in seven months."

Zangeshu was with Rifindio. "That's not the biggest issue."

Rean looked at him. "What would it be then?"

"The swapping of Werdlem Stones," Zangeshu answered. "Even if you win, you would need to go to them and let them swap the stones on your body. No one knows how the swap is made, right? Even the expert himself is kept unconscious during the swapping. I know Master can swap the stones on his own, but he won't be able to tell that to the Inquisition Hall. That would be ridiculous."

There were a few other methods. For example, Rean and Roan could just go to that so-called headquarters and have Sister Orb hack into the formation so they could teleport. However, even if they sneak past everyone and reach the formation, which is, without a doubt, highly guarded, they can't hide the use of the formation. That would basically translate into a big problem on the other side once the teleport finished.

Suddenly, Rean's eyes lit up. "Basically, we just need someone who has won the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest and got his Divine Werdlem Stone already, right?"

"Well, sure..." Rifindio nodded. "But only the winner can go to the Divine Realm. Even if you pretend to be a subordinate or whatever, you won't be able to go up with this expert."

Rean showed a playful smile on his face. "Oh, don't worry. I have a way to get there. But first... we need a spaceship."
