Chapter 2066 Isn't That Obvious?
While everyone seemed shocked by the sudden voice coming from the hexagon, neither Rean nor Roan's expression changed when they heard that. "I thought you would never come out."
Rean immediately sent his Dark Star Sword back into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "So, you are the so-called Artifact Spirit, uh? You are the second one we have seen in all those years." One must remember that the twins did find one back in Sunkan Planet, the same that disappeared right after. "Now then, why don't you introduce yourself?"
The hexagon went silent for a few moments. It was obvious that it didn't intend to talk as its' sentience tried to pretend to not be there at first. However, there was no way it could hide anymore. Rean had angered it to the point that it ended up cursing him. [Hmph! I don't have a name.]
Sesame immediately appeared on the hexagon's side and looked at it curiously. "How long have you been down there? From the looks of it, you were buried here way before the fragment you were using landed all those years ago? Are you the reason why I was born here? Or perhaps you are the reason why I can't leave?"
[I have nothing to do with your situation. Still, I did indeed see when you were born, as I was here before you. Nonetheless, I couldn't talk to you even if I wanted to. I didn't have the power. Not to mention I didn't have the intention to do so even if I did.] The hexagon sentience answered without much care.
Roan didn't seem to care about that at the moment. Instead, he was more curious about something else. "I'm going to call you Hex then. Now, back to what matters. Who... or what are you? Are you really an Artifact Spirit?"
The hexagon just accepted the name as it didn't matter to him. [Hex is good enough. As for what I am, why should I tell you? Just pretend that you didn't know me and get out of here.]
Rean shook his head, obviously. "We can't do that. You see, we think that you perhaps have another one of those fragments. We need them, so can you give the fragment away?"
[Another one? Ha! What a joke! No, I don't have another fragment. What do you think those fragments are, some candy you can buy in any corner store?]
Sister Orb couldn't help but ask something else. [Since you don't have another one, why did you let me take the fragment you were using?]
Roan pondered a bit before guessing. "Because for him, it was a lot more important to not be found than to lose the fragment itself, am I right?"
Yet, he was wrong. [Are you an idiot? If I wanted to hide, why would I keep myself out in the view for you to find me? When you arrived, wasn't I right in the middle for you to see?]
"Is that so?" The others found it strange. "The fragment seemed to be used quite a lot by you. Why did you let us take it away then?"
[Because I was sleeping.] Hex answered straight away without a care for the world.
"Sleeping?" Sure enough, no one expected that answer.
[What, don't your races also sleep? Sentiences can also sleep, especially one like myself that stayed stuck in this place for countless years. Can you imagine what it would feel like to stay awake doing absolutely nothing for so long? Obviously, I put myself to sleep most of the time. I only woke up once I noticed that the fragment was gone.]
"I guess that makes sense..." Hex had been here for longer than Sesame, after all. "Then why aren't you trying to get the fragment back?"
[And how do you suggest I do that? If I ask you to give me the fragment back, will you simply say yes?]
"Not a chance," Roan answered straight away. "Still, you could try to take it from us by force. You were definitely much faster than Rean while he was attacking you with his full strength. And I think not only your speed, but your strength is also just as high."
"It should be because of me, right?" It was then that Sesame talked. "Sure, it was too fast for Rean when it started to dodge his attacks. However, in my view, I could easily match it."
Hex didn't try to hide. [Yes, you are the problem. A Divinity Realm Pixiu is not something that I can take on, so I pretended to not be here even after waking up. I'm not indestructible.]
Sesame nodded. "Then how about this? Tell us what you are and what you are doing here, and I will try not to break you."
Hex went silent once again, knowing it had talked too much. He couldn't be blamed. He hasn't talked to anyone for way, way too long. His mind isn't exactly at its sharpest at the moment. You could say that was also the reason why he didn't hide after the fragment disappeared. Finally, he began to talk again. [Even if I tell you, that won't make any difference.]
Sesame began to control the space around Hex. Now that Hex had lost the fragment, his Spatial Powers were still strong but not strong enough to oppose the Divinity Realm Pixiu. "That's something we will decide. Start talking already."
[...] Hex pondered for a few moments before finally speaking once again. [I'm a Universe Space Temporal Beacon.]
Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. They had never heard about Universe Space Temporal Beacons before. "And what is that?"
[It's exactly what I said, a beacon. Don't you know what a beacon is?]
"That's not what we meant," Roan corrected. "We want to know what type of beacon is a Universe Space Temporal one."
[That's why I said it makes no difference to you. I'm a beacon that shows the location of this Universe in the great void. If you want to travel from another Universe to this one, you use me as a relay point.]
"What?!" That took everyone aback. "Are you saying there is more than just one Universe?"
[Uh? Isn't that obvious?]
