Surprisingly, a skill that hasn't been that useful for the twins for a long time came into hand on this occasion.
'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'
Another three Reans and Roans appeared around them, creating perfect copies of the twins. After entering the Void Tempering Realm, this skill became pretty useless since the copies themselves couldn't get any stronger. Above all, due to the Natural Spatial Perception, they couldn't be used to fool the enemy either.
Taking someone like Eagon, for example, just his normal Divine Energy Barrier would be more than enough to completely stop any attack of all clones at the same time. Simply put, he could simply pretend they didn't even exist. That's why the twins hadn't used the Mirage Assault anymore.
Right after, they used their skills.
'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'
Several slashes coming from all sides began to pass near Cryan. Yet none of them touched him. With all clones and the twins working together, they were able to cover a good part of Cryan's surroundings with their Fourth Stage of the Weapon Intent, Weapon Aura. As long as Cryan's connection to the Planet's World Essence was unilateral, he should be able to feel a reduction in it. Of course, only if the Intents could truly bar World Essence as Rean predicted.
The answer came a second later. "It's working! I can feel my connection with the World Essence become intermittent according to how much space is left between me and the outside!"
Rean, Roan, and the clones all stopped at the same time. "So it does work, uh?"
Rean then asked Cryan one last time. "The deal is still up, right?"
Cryan obviously had no issues with that. It was only his Divine Origin Energy. He could accumulate more of it later. The only problem would be if they wanted the World Essence of his body, which was the same as his own life. Since that wasn't the case, he was more than happy to agree. "Definitely! Half of all Divine Origin Energy I have will be yours. We can even discuss the details of how you will absorb it now if you want."
Eagon was definitely interested in that. "Great! That's something I was a little at a loss. After all, even half of his Divine Origin Energy will be enough for hundreds of years of cultivation nonstop."
Rean, Roan, and Kentucky looked at each other. "To be honest, we don't really need it..."
"What?!" Eagon felt like he had heard the most ridiculous statement in the universe's history. "You are kidding, right? It is impossible for any cultivator to not be interested in so much clean Divine Origin Energy!"
Roan, however, took that chance to ask. "If you want, you can have all of it. In exchange, I want Jakiro and Mia's contract now." It was true the twins didn't need it, so why not conclude the deal? Besides, could they guarantee Cryan wouldn't try to escape or something like that? Why should they bother?
"This..." Eagon obviously felt that offer to be extremely tempting. If he could use it alone, perhaps Space-Time Realm wasn't the only thing he would achieve. Even the Divinity Realm was a possibility. However, he also understood Roan's intention. They simply didn't want to have anything else to do with Cryan once they were done. In the end, it all depended on whether Cryan would fulfill his part of the deal or not.
Cryan, having lived millions of years, obviously understood that too. "So you are afraid of what I'm going to do, uh?"
Eagon immediately nodded. "Yes."
"Is there a way we can force each part to go through the deal?" Cryan asked everyone.
Unfortunately, that wasn't viable. "If you were from some other race we knew about, there could be some contract of formation that we could attach to you to force that deal. However, you are not. You don't have a dantian, core, or anything like that."
"I wouldn't allow such thing to be put on my body anyway," Cryan didn't lie either.
Roan then warned Eagon. "Our deal was to help you investigate the phenomenon of the destruction of the Sunkan Planet. We already found the issue, so I will demand the contract regardless of the outcome. I don't know if Cryan will fulfill his side of the deal, but I do know I will leave it all for you if you give me the contracts now rather than later. Are you going to lose this opportunity?"
"And what guarantees I have that you will also give up on Cryan's Divine origin Energy?" Eagon asked back.
"Simple," Roan pointed his Scythe at Eagon, "I'm much stronger than you, and we are a bigger group. We could totally have killed you or at least forced you to flee. Yet, we haven't done that. Jakiro and Mia's lives are important. That's true. However, do you think their lives are as important as the Divine Origin Energy in Cryan's body?"
Eagon narrowed his eyes. If it was anyone else, it would make a lot of sense. However, something told Eagon that Rean and Roan did indeed consider Jakiro and Mia more important. Especially if they were telling the truth when they said they had no need for Cryan's Energy. However, refusing it now would only create an even bigger gap in the already little trust they had between each other. In the end, Eagon accepted. "Fine!"
Right after, he pulled two contracts from inside his own Pocket Dimensional Realm and passed them to the twins' group. "These are the contracts. Do what you will."
Roan caught them and checked them with his Divine Sense. Right after, he used his Divine Energy to obliterate the contracts.
As soon as he did that, Old Worm and Mia felt the runes in their dantians growing faint until they lost all their power. Following that, they disappeared. "This..."
Rean contacted them. 'Have you regained your freedom?'
Old Worm and Mia immediately nodded. 'We have! Thank you.'
Rean smiled and nodded at Eagon. "Our deal is concluded. Now, let's take Cryan out of this place."
