Chapter 662: Big Family (1/2)
Gravis took ahold of the Life Ring but started frowning. There was something he had just remembered.
”Hey, father,” Gravis said. ”Could you do me a solid?”
”What?” his father asked.
”I don't really want to see Morus again. Somehow, the guy just rubs me the wrong way. Could you send him to the Sky Community or something?” Gravis asked.
”Already done,” his father said.
”When?” Gravis asked in surprise.
”Just now,” his father said.
”Then why don't you just say done?”
”Because it is already done.”
Gravis looked at his father like he didn't fully agree but just let it slide. Gravis turned back to the Life Ring and summoned the occupants.
Whoop!
And the sizable room immediately got cramped by scales and flesh.
Gravis had forgotten to tell them that they would be summoned into a small room. Because of that, they all walked around with their true sizes. Gravis got pushed to the side by a wall of scales while his father didn't seem to react at all. His body was probably far too heavy to be moved by something like that.
Whoop!
The four of them quickly realized what was happening and shrunk to normal sizes again. Surprisingly, the room took absolutely no damage during all of this. Even the flower vases, courtesy of Gravis' mother, hadn't been moved.
Sure enough, nothing inside the Opposer's room was simple.
The four of them looked around the room with different expressions. Yersi quickly searched for Gravis and sighed in relief when she found him. Aris looked around in skepticism. Cera looked more nervous like she expected that enemies were around, while Orthar only looked transfixed at the Opposer.
”Hey, everyone,” Gravis said with embarrassment. This whole awkward situation was his fault. ”So, everyone's alive, and you're in the highest world currently. So, welcome to my home, I suppose.”
Yersi smiled at Gravis. ”I'm relieved that you're alive, father,” she said.
Meanwhile, Cera and Aris were busy being shocked at the ridiculous density of Energy. To them, it felt like the Energy had become a thick liquid that suppressed their movement. This was thousands, if not millions of times denser than the core of the middle world.
Well, one had to consider where they currently were. This was the highest world, and on top of that, they were in the room of the Opposer. The Opposer was pulling all the Energy in the world to him, and his room probably had more Energy inside it than if one filled this room with Immortal Stones.
Surprisingly, none of Gravis' children seemed to notice the Opposer sitting in the middle of the room. Only Orthar looked at him with an unreadable expression. Well, it was rather hard to determine the expression of an octopus with a ton of eyes.
The Opposer looked back at Orthar, and Orthar seemed to freeze.
The three children looked around in wonder while the staring contest between Orthar and the Opposer kept going.
”Hi,” the Opposer said with his usual voice to Orthar.
One wouldn't see it, but the Opposer felt a bit awkward with Orthar constantly staring at him. It was one thing when strangers looked at him, but this was one of his son's closest friends.
The three kids noticed that another person was here. They glanced at the Opposer but quickly ignored him again as they looked around the room. He felt like a mortal to them.
One couldn't fault them for that. After all, Skye had also reacted like this when she saw that one clerk back then. They had always been able to feel the power of others, and when someone exhibited no power, it meant that this someone was weak.
Obviously, the Opposer kept his aura in check. He didn't want to scare his grandchildren to death.
”Greetings,” Orthar said very politely.
