Chapter 9: The One With Surname Reinbach

"Jiro, Kairo, Hiro, Gairo, Muro, Taro, Reto, Dago, Pugo, Kubo, Waro" Kuro sais those names while tears was dripping in his eyes.

"Damn those Divine Beasts" He said angrily.

ROAAAAR!

"Fck! I must leave, he's coming" He suddenly turned into a streak of light and fled to the opposite direction where the loud roar came.

While he was flying, he saw a dilapidated house and noticed something.

"A Concealment Array!" His eyes widened and a hint of joy surfaced in his heart.

He quickly landed onto the house and examined the array that was wrapped in this dilapidated house.

'Celestial God Realm Concealment Array!' He became more ecstatic.

He searched the entire house, finding where the core of the array is.

He soon reached the stairs to basement. Contrary to the dilapidated house, the basement is actually huge.

This shocked him even more. 'There should be a Celestial God Realm Expert residing in this house', He thought to himself and he immediately became anxious.

Not every powerhouse or hidden experts are as good as Senior Bau. In this world where only less than 10% of humans left. One will prioritze their own survival.

Although the people inside the Omega City were all kind hearted and were devoid of dark thoughts, that was because they're within the Omega City!

The protection they gained from the city, as well as the kind hearted City Lord. No one even thought of betraying one another or inhabit bad thoughts.

But he was outside the Omega City right now, In a place with extremely hellish environment, It will definitely produce different kinds of people and changed the mindset of whoever managed to survive in this place.

Kuro continued to descend the stairs.

A couple of hours had passed and he is still descending.

"What is this place? Is there any need for a basement this deep?" He said annoyingly.

After another 30 minutes had passed, the atmosphere began to change, there was almost no oxygen he could breathe. Not that it was a problem for a cultivator like him, but this only shows how really deep this basement is.

An extra hour had passed, he finally reached the bottom of the stairs.

'Finally' He heaved a sigh of relief, if this goes on any longer. He might have thought that he is trapped in an array formation.

He approached the door and gently opened it.

Kuro's eyes widened, An extremely large room is what awaits him behind the door. In the middle, he saw an old man with a long silver beard, sitting in a lotus position.

The old man has a tattered black robe and deep sunken eyes, Although his body is still in a healthy state with slight bulked muscles and a faint vigorous aura emanating from him, Those deep sunken eyes has no light in it as if it belonged to a dead person.

'This senior must be reaching his great limit' He thought.

The old man looked at him with a slight surprise, "Oh, I didn't notice you at all. Did you hid your presence?" He asked.

"I didn't dare to, Senior" Kuro instantly replied with a nervous expression.

"Ho ho ho, Fear not lad. I don't have any intention of killing you or something. If I do have such thoughts, it wouldn't be difficult to kill you either." He said jokingly.

"Try me old man! You may be a Celestial God Realm Expert, but you are also at your great limit." kuro's aura instantly erupted.

"Hahaha, An Immortal God Realm Expert. You reached such cultivation at such a young age." The old man said.

"If Mary was as talented as you, then she would've survived the calamity" He sighed inwardly.

Seeing the old man's expression he immediately  withdrew his aura.

"Old man, what's your name?" Kuro asked.

"Augustus Reinbach" The old man replied.

"Reinbach? Old man, In Omega City, I think knew someone that also bears the surname Reinbach" Kuro stated unsurely.

Augustus' eyes widened, "I-is her name, Celeste Reinbach?" he asked.

"Y-yes, That's indeed her name!" This time he finally remembered under the old man's suggestion, he replied with a hint of certainty in his words.

"Aiya she's alive, That granddaughter of mine, it turns out she survived" Augustus muttered.

"How about this old man, follow me back to Omega City" Kuro suggested, with this old man's strength in Celestial God Realm dealing with that damned Divine Beast at God King Realm will be much easier.

Augustus shook his head, "If you are thinking of getting me help to get rid of that Divine Beast. Then it's impossible, Although my strength is at Celestial God Realm I am nearing my great limit and even if we do managed to kill that Divine Beast, our battle will definitely attract Divine Beasts of similar strength or stronger."

Hearing those words Kuro came into a realization. He was indeed Destined to die here. Even if the Ancient One from the Omega City comes, they can only fall prey to countless Divine Beasts.

Unless...

"But if you invite the others we might stand a chance" Augustus' voice interrupted his thoughts.

'There are still other people apart from this old man?' A question raised on his head.
