"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to destroy this cube." Belmod chuckled lightly, speaking in a relaxed tone, "These cubes are all condensed by Angels. Even if they break, the Angels can just condense a new one, so it doesn't matter."
Soya did not make a sound, merely watching Belmod quietly.
The cube didn't have much energy left now.
If Belmod really shot a Destruction energy at it.
Would the cube absorb the Destruction energy for its own use?
Or would it simply be shattered?
Soya was also very curious about this.
"Then you try. I also hope to let him out sooner." Soya said with a smile, his gaze frank, showing not a trace of fear, and even a hint of anticipation.
"Well then..." Belmod snorted, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Destruction energy began to flicker and gather in his hand, emitting an intimidating aura.
"Whoosh!"
A Destruction energy sphere the size of a basketball shot towards the cube like an artillery shell, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound through the air.
The Destruction energy drew closer and closer to the cube, the void seemingly torn apart.
"Smack!"
The next moment, the Destruction energy sphere accurately struck the cube.
The moment the Flying Cube made contact with the Destruction energy, it erupted with a dazzling purple-red radiance, like a gemstone ignited.
Immediately after, the Flying Cube shone brilliantly, the entire cube shaking violently, as if greedily absorbing the Destruction energy.
Soya's eyes instantly widened, his gaze immediately filled with pleasant surprise and excitement.
It's recharging!
I thought it would shatter.
Excellent!
"Still not enough, more!" Soya lifted his chin slightly towards Belmod, his tone carrying a bit of urging and provocation.
Belmod: "????"
Belmod was slightly taken aback, the smile on his face stiffening, never expecting such a phenomenon from this cube.
Logically, after that blast of Destruction energy hit, the cube should have either shattered or at least been damaged.
How could it be completely unharmed, and instead seem to have been replenished?
"This cube is quite sturdy. Since you want another hit, then as you wish." Belmod grinned, though his smile now held a bit more scrutiny. He released another Destruction energy sphere at the Flying Cube.
This time, the Destruction energy Belmod condensed was denser, the energy sphere also a size larger than before, its power increased several times over. The surrounding space warped slightly due to this energy.
"Smack!"
The Destruction energy accurately struck the Flying Cube once more.
The radiance on the Flying Cube became even more dazzling, the purple-red light almost illuminating the entire void space.
Soya silently sensed his own Flying Cube, his heart filled with great joy.
Just these two hits, Soya felt the Flying Cube was already 60% recharged.
This is way too good!
"Belmod, did you not eat? Is that all the strength you have, trying to shatter my cube?" Soya gave Belmod a sideways glance, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
Belmod: "..."
Belmod's face instantly darkened, veins faintly pulsing on his forehead.
Who are you insulting?
"Keep going, keep going." Soya chuckled happily, his face clearly saying "wanting more."
"This cube is strange." Rumshii extended his long elephant trunk to stroke his chin, muttering thoughtfully in a low voice, his eyes filled with doubt.
"There is indeed a problem! Destruction energy actually can't destroy it, instead it seems to be absorbed by it." Sidra also nodded thoughtfully, his tone grave.
Belmod immediately felt stuck in a difficult position.
Should he continue?
Another hit, if it still can't destroy it, wouldn't he lose face?
"Weren't you going to rescue Quitela? Hurry up, don't dawdle. Seeing him stuck on my cube makes me uncomfortable too." Soya urged with a smile, the provocative intent in his tone even stronger.
"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to go inside the cube and push him out." Belmod hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering, then said to Soya with a grin. His tone seemed gentle, yet carried a hint of barely noticeable probing.
"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome." Soya grinned, his tone enthusiastic, though he was already fully prepared in his heart.
"Alright then." Belmod said, then flew towards the inside of the Flying Cube. His speed wasn't fast, but his eyes kept observing the cube's condition.
Soya appeared outwardly calm and indifferent on the surface.
In reality, Soya's mind was highly focused, having long made preparations for a swapping instant transmission.
Just swap with the four Teletubbies then.
That is, provided Belmod can successfully enter.
What Soya was most curious about now was whether Belmod would successfully enter, or end up successfully stuck on the cube wall like Quitela?
But judging by Quitela's precedent, there was a ninety percent chance he'd get stuck on it.
At this very moment, Belmod drew closer and closer to the cube, the air seemingly tinged with a hint of tension.
Just as Belmod was about to enter the cube, his body suddenly stopped mid-air, his eyes flickering, as if he had thought of something.
"Wait!" Rumshii's voice immediately rang out, carrying a note of warning.
"Forget it, do as you please." Belmod chuckled, dismissing the idea of entering the cube. He glanced towards Rumshii's direction, their eyes exchanging a look.
"You be careful. If you get stuck on the cube too... that would be quite amusing." Rumshii waved his elephant trunk, his tone carrying a hint of teasing, though it was actually a caution.
"How could that be? How could I be as foolish as Quitela?" Belmod laughed heartily, his tone brimming with confidence, as if his earlier hesitation had never happened.
Rumshii rolled his eyes, his elephant trunk swaying casually.
If Quitela hadn't served as a warning, you'd probably be stuck there too, right?
"Soya, the reason I came to find you this time is that I hope you'll have time to come visit our universe, so you can interact and exchange with the people of our universe." Belmod suddenly shifted the topic, his attitude becoming enthusiastic all of a sudden. He looked at Soya with a smiling face, his tone sincere.
Soya felt deep disdain for Belmod in his heart.
From Belmod's speech and demeanor when Soya first met him, Soya thought this person was quite decent.
Moreover, Belmod had actively invited Soya to visit his universe back then.
However, seeing him today, Soya's impression of him did a complete 180.
This guy is clearly playing mind games!
His main trait is cunning and deceitfulness!
"Fine, I'll drop by your universe when I have time." Soya agreed without hesitation, a relaxed smile on his face. Then he immediately shifted the topic and asked, "Anything else? If not, I'll be leaving."
"Our Eleventh Universe always welcomes you." Belmod still wore a gentle smile on his face, though a glint of calculation, hard to detect, flashed deep in his eyes.
