Re:Immortal

With the small nuisance finally dealt with, Omis and Addi slowly made their way towards the inhabited realm. They were still a distance away from Kaa'lot but decided to first take a small break in the planet ahead.

Continuous flight through the dark eerie space would wear down even the most seasoned dimensional travelers. Omis and Addi were no different. Although they still had the capability to continue their journey without stopping, none of them wanted to do so.

Time was a tricky thing, especially since they were traveling across the Universe. Even so, Omis roughly estimated that the length of their journey had already extended to months by now.

Months of passing by boring empty planes and giant drifting rocks. Although they had come across a few inhabitable planes, the duo never diverted away from their course and continued along with their journey.

Looking at the blue planet below them, Omis was suddenly reminded of earth. By now, Addi's attachment to their previous home was almost non-existent, the only thing that still plagued his mind although he did not want to admit it, was his wife and—

Shaking his head, Omis did not want to continue thinking about that, he himself was in no better position. His mood quickly darkened as he recalled the little boy he left behind.

As if sensing his abrupt change, Addi lightly growled. "Get your mind out of the gutter, didn't you want to go down and visit?" He said while motioning to the blue planet below their feet.

Pushing all the dark thoughts out to the back of his mind, Omis gave a slight grin before replying ready to fly down. "Of course! Let's go."

Frowning, Addi retorted. "Hold your horses, I don't think it's safe to just rush down there."

"I don't see any of that so-called planet formation up, won't we be fine if we are just careful?" He asked.

A planet formation or array is as the name suggests, a giant formation usually powered by the rulers of the realm or plane. It is usually deployed in times of war when the planet is facing an unprecedented crisis.

The price of such activation is enormous, which means keeping the formation up at all times was something unrealistic unless the planet or realm was a highly regarded one by the powerhouses of the universe.

For the little blue planet below them, affording to keep such a formation was a luxury they could not afford. Hence Omis was unconcerned, the strongest flunctions he could feel coming off it belonged to a cultivator that seemed to reach the level of a Golden Immortal, not quite at the Immortal Venerable yet.

And for the planet to survive the raids of space pirates and others who held bad intentions against it, could only mean one of two things. The first, a Golden Immortal backed with the power of their planet was enough to protect it against hostile. Two, the planet was under the protection of or belonged to an even bigger faction that served as its shield.

"I still think we can just slip inside unnoticed." Answered Omis unconvinced.

Addi could feel a headache brewing, perhaps he was being too cautious. They were after all God realm cultivators and not just any normal ones. Left with no choice, and since he had no better suggestion, Addi nodded.

"Fine, but remember, low-key!" He reminded Omis in a serious tone.

"Yes, yes! Low-key, definitely." Grinned Omis in reply.

The duo then slowly made their way down to the center of the blue planet. As expected, they faced no resistance as they broke through the planet's atmosphere.

Glancing down from the sky, Omis and Addi descended a distance away from what appeared to be a large city. They were calmly hovering in the air above a medium-sized forest, Omis used his Divine sense to further scan their immediate area causing a strange expression to make its way unto his face.

Addi didn’t seem to notice as his attention was on the city far away in the distance. “That seems to be their major capital.” He spoke. The duo had deliberately landed a distance away from it as it would have been inconvenient to suddenly appear in the air above the capital.

Glancing back at Omis, Addi finally noticed his peculiar expression and asked. “Hmm, What’s wrong?”

“There is a small group of young mortal cultivators down below.” Replied Omis as motioned towards a particular place in the forest.

“And what does that have to do with us?” Asked Addi with a frown, an uneasy feeling rising in his chest.

Scratching his head with an awkward smile, Omis replied. “Ah, well you see. They are fighting against some sort of monsters and don’t seem like they will make it.”

Addi’s frown deepened, as he asked with an annoyed expression. “As I said, what does that have to do with us?”

“Well, you know...With us being the seniors and whatnot, I was just thinking maybe we should...you know.”

With a glare, Addi spoke. “Get to the point already, you want to save them?”

“Yes, sow a bit of good karma as one might say.” Smiled Omis with an innocent expression.

“No one says that, and what did I say about low-key?” He growled in reply.

“Well, we can still save them while being low-key!” Omis retorted.

Addi’s eyes stared at Omis with irritation as he yelled. “Don’t give me that horse shit you little brat, you think I don’t know what you want to do? You just want to play the expert again!”

“Oh come on! Loosen up a little, think about it as doing a good deed while looking cool doing it.” Smiled Omis.

“Besides, we just save them and leave. That’s why experts do anyways, we have to look mysterious while doing it!” He added causing Addi to feel his headache return.

‘I’m the idiot to think that he’ll ever change.’ He thought to himself while lamenting his decision to join this journey.

“Come on Addi, loosen up, we’ll be in and out before you know it all the while sowing good karma!” Smiled Omis reassuringly.

Faced with that smile, Addi was not assured at all, quite the opposite, in fact, he was feeling anxious while thinking.

‘What the hell is sowing good karma?!’
