Chapter 399: 399

When the bright blinding light faded away, Ibro found himself standing on a solid ground, in an area that resembled the ground of the gate world. 

He knew that he had exited from that fiend's body, which turned into an energy that he absorbed completely. Ibro stood in the middle of nowhere as his own feeling of danger was escalating without stop, so he asked his system:

'Activate divine sense and help me in looking for anything unusual here.'

'…'

The system activated the divine sense at once, as Ibro started to observe the area he was at. As expected, he was now inside the region which was covered by dense fog from before. At the outer parameters of this region which was slightly depressed than the rest of the surface of this world, he found the densely packed high demon towers.

'Look at the centre of this area.'

Ibro then shifted his divine sense towards the deep part of this area. The more he delved deeper, the more devastation he found. There were strange shaped remains there that started to appear frequently towards the centre. 

At the centre of this area, which was the centre of this world, Ibro managed to spot a rounded depression that was nearly one kilometer in depth and tens of kilometers in diameter. 

This depressed region contained strange circles that were clustered in groups of ten; some had the white color, while others were green, red, black, and blue.

'What do you think this is?'

'It's this universe technology heart; there you can find the universe heart that you are looking for.'

Ibro just thought about going there, to feel his bad premonition to be raised with frightening degree. Ibro then thought about retreating to find this premonition to decrease rapidly to be slightly felt. 

That was bizarre, but his intuition never failed even once, so there must be something wrong there. Coupled with that strange confidence that fiend was talking with, Ibro became sure that this place held some unforeseen scheme that he couldn't stand against or stop. 

If so, then he had to finish here first and leave that place as the last area he would control. 

He knew that he needed to go there and deal with this corrupted heart so the incoming demon's army couldn't be able to enter in this universe, but as facts were fogged in front of him, he decided to play it safely, especially he had more than two months left for the expected arrival of the demon's army.

'Let's go back into my world.'

'Won't you go and explore that region? You need this universe's heart.'

Ibro gave that place a final glance before sighing as he replied:

'Move me inside as it isn't safe to discuss these things.'

'…'

Ibro moved into his world, as he appeared in front of the teleportation gate that linked his world with the gate world.

'Can you now elaborate more about your decision?'

'I have a bad premonition regarding that region. That fiend was strange; he didn't curse me when it died, so it was safer to think that it had a backhand in this universe. This backhand I couldn't counter or detect, so it would be reasonable to think this trap is at that heart.'

The system went silent for a moment before it said:

'Your words make sense, so what do you plan to do?'

I have two months to prepare, and we have a lot of things we need to finish, like these clustered demon gates in this gate world, the relics of Ren, and the whole players and NPCs in this universe. 

We need to conquer this universe completely and collect all Ren's inheritance before setting foot onto that heart area, and we need to do that in less than two months.'

'Collecting the demon gates here is simple, but the issue is we lost all connection with the other worlds in this universe.'

Ibro smiled as he interrupted his system:

'You are wrong, we aren't completely isolated here. I still have two people from this universe in my pocket space world.'

'Do you mean…?'

'Yes, move me to their location now.'

Ibro noticed Maya who was flying rapidly towards him with an anger look over her face. Ibro sighed as he added:

'Move Maya also with me.'

'Are you sure? She is still very mad.'

'I know, just move her, it's better to solve this trouble now than later.'

'It's your life you are risking here.'

'…'

'…'

Ibro and his system remained in awkward silence before the system moved him and Maya to the peaceful world where Randor and Emy were staying. 

Once Maya appeared there, she felt surprised as she paused for a second before she moved rapidly again towards Ibro like a rocket.

"Damn you Ibro, where is my little sweet Draky? Give him back to me now."

"Can you just calm down and listen to me? We are in a pretty serious situation."

"Don't try and fool around, I know your tricks so don't try to use them on me."

Ibro sighed as he then said:

"I just fought with the main fiend in this universe."

The anger on Maya's face faded slightly while Ibro started to explain everything in detail. The more he spoke, the more shocked she was, as she didn't expect the situation to be this serious. 

She thought Ibro was trying to free more villages, so she was mad about taking her lovable cute little dragon from her, but now she felt Ibro had the right to call all his troops to help him out in that dangerous battle. 

After Ibro finished, she hit him with her little fist on his chest as she complained:

"You moron, why didn't you tell me about all this? I could have helped you back then."

Ibro was about to argue with her, but he didn't, as in dealing with women, silence always was the correct approach. She sighed as she looked away while asking:

"So, you killed that fiend and you are afraid of a hidden scheme from it, so what are we doing here then? We should prepare our armies instead."

Ibro pointed out towards a distant house as he said:

"I came to visit these two."
