Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 247 Lingo

"Oi Alex! I heard what you are talking about!" Obviously, Professor Frances would not take Alex’s ’light insult’ that easily. "Do you think you can just say something like that about me?"

"Well, do you have any frightening background?" Alex replied sneakily as he stared at the professor. "If you have one, then we can ask the blue guy to look at you now!"

"...Hmph, forget about it. Let’s just finish up here." The professor quickly replied as she gave Alex a glare.

Alex of course ignored the professor’s glare as he brought back his attention to the blue prisoner, who seemed to be still affected by Queen Mother’s appearance.

"Oi, don’t worry about Queen Mother anymore." Alex said to the prisoner in a fed-up tone. "She won’t do anything to you too, as long as you don’t make her do so."

"IS THAT TRUE MILORD?"

"Yes! Wait, why are we even talking about this? You’re supposed to tell a story now, right? Go tell that story now, you dumbass!"

"HII!!! I WILL START IT NOW, MILORD!"

"Sigh, and it seems like he won’t lower the volume of his voice anymore..." Alex thought to himself wearily as the blue prisoner started to talk about himself.

"UM OK, SO WELL, I SUPPOSE I CAN START THIS STORY BY INTRODUCING MYSELF. MY NAME IS LINGO, AND I AM A DIVINE BEING. I WAS BORN IN THE ANCESTRAL OVERLORD PLANE, AND I SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE THERE."

"..."

"... MILORD, YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE YOU ARE HAPPY. SHOULD I MAKE MY STORY BETTER?"

"Why the f**k did you ask that question? Did I tell you to stop?"

"NO, MILORD!"

"Then don’t stop talking! Che, you’re wasting my time here! Just talk! I will stop you when I want to!"

"UM OKAY, SO.... SINCE I AM A DIVINE BEING, I HAVE BEEN GIFTED WITH AN INNATE DIVINE ABILITY. THAT ABILITY OF MINE GREW STRONGER IN TIME, AND ONCE IT HAD REACHED ITS PEAK, IT ALLOWED ME TO FIGHT EVENLY AGAINST SEVENTH STAGE PRACTITIONERS! ISN’T THAT AWESOME MILORD?"

"That really sounds awesome, but I don’t have any idea on what you are talking about!" Alex thought to himself angrily as he tried to make himself look extremely bored.

Divine beings? Ancestral Overlord Plane? Divine Ability? Practitioners?

Alex had no idea on what these words mean, and this blue prisoner is spouting them out like they were just normal terms!

"This is bad..." Alex thought to himself grimly as he realized that Lingo was thinking that Alex was knowledgeable about these things. "How the f**k will I know anything about what he said? I’m just a normal guy!"

At that point, Alex realized that if he shows to Lingo some kind of ignorance about what he was talking about, their current situation might devolve badly!

Alex had to pretend, or else the blue prisoner might react badly to him!

Aside from this, Alex has to restrain himself from asking questions about the Abyss Plane or about the Enlightened Empress or even the Yggdrassil.

After all, if he tries to ask about them, it will be quite obvious to the blue prisoner that something was fishy with Alex and the others!

"Hmph, that’s awesome?" Alex replied with a sneer on his face as he tried to make himself look as disappointed as possible. "If you want me to be awed by your story, why don’t you just continue on talking? Maybe then I will find pleasure from your words!"

Instead of acting awed, Alex had to make himself look disappointed. That way, the blue prisoner would not feel anything suspicious from Alex, and he instead will be more scared of him.

This tactic seems to have worked, as Lingo’s mouth continued to loosen up.

"OK, OK, MILORD. SO UM ACTUALLY... MY DIVINE ABILITY IS LOW-LEVEL REALITY MANIPULATION, WHICH I CAN DO THROUGH THE POWER OF MY WILL ALONE. AS LONG AS MY MIND POWER HAS ENOUGH ENERGY IN IT, I CAN PRETTY MUCH CHANGE ANY LOW-LEVELLED RULES OF REALITY AROUND ME! WITH THAT ABILITY, I WAS ABLE TO DEFEAT MANY WHO TRIED TO KILL ME! WITH MY POWER, ONLY EIGTH STAGE PRACTITIONERS AND ABOVE CAN KILL ME, BUT THEY ARE VERY RARE IN MY WORLD! BECAUSE OF THAT, I WAS ABLE TO GATHER MANY PEOPLE UNDER MY BANNER! AH MILORD! MY LIFE BACK THEN WAS SO BLISSFUL!

"..."

"BECAUSE I KEPT A LOW PROFILE, NOBODY POWERFUL HAD TRIED TO KILL ME. THOSE WHO TRIED ARE WEAKLINGS, AND THEY WERE JUST ALL ENSLAVED BY ME! MILORD.... THOSE TIMES IN MY LIFE REALLY ARE THE BEST..."

"..."

No matter what Alex tried to do, he still could not full understand what Lingo was talking about.

However, he was fairly sure in one thing.

And that is that Lingo had lived a very spoiled and comfortable life before!

Just hearing all the nostalgic words coming out of the blue prisoner’s mouth was enough to show that he was fond of his past!

"BUT ALL OF THAT CHANGED WHEN ONE DAY, SOMEONE EXTREMELY POWERFUL HAD INVADED THE ANCESTRAL OVERLORD PLANE!"

"..."

"THAT INVADER WAS SO POWERFUL, THAT NOT EVEN THE STRONGEST PERSON IN THE ANCESTRAL OVERLORD PLANE COULD MATHC UP TO HIM. THAT DAY... THE INVADER SLAUGHTERED MANY POWEFUL PRACTITIONERS IN THE ANCESTRAL OVERLORD PLANE, AND VERY FEW MANAGED TO SURVIVE. ONLY THE MORTALS AND SOME LUCKY PRACTITIONERS WERE SPARED FROM THAT ONSLAUGHT."

"..."

"MILORD, I... WAS ONE OF THOSE SURVIVORS."

At this point in time, Alex and the others started to feel cold as an extremely powerful killing intent erupted out of the blue prisoner.

Even if the blue prisoner was somewhat scared of Alex, Alina, and Queen Mother, he seemed to be full of rage, as if there was a switch that flipped inside him right now.

"THAT DAMNED INVADER, AFTER SEEING THAT I SURVIVED, HAD DECIDED TO TORMENT ME! H-H-HE PLACED ME IN COUNTLESSS EXPERIMENTS JUST TO TEST OUT MY BODY AND MY POWER! I... I TRIED TO RESIST HIM, BUT HE WAS TOO POWERFUL AGAISNT ME!"

"Yep, this guy’s pissed now." Alex thought to himself as he looked at Lingo’s extremely enraged face.

"I... STAYED AS HIS EXPERIMENTS FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS. ONCE THAT 10 YEAR TIME HAS FINISHED, I THOUGHT THAT I WILL BE FREE ALREADY. BUT THAT DID NOT F**KING HAPPEN!"

"..."

"AFTER ALL THOSE EXPERIMENTS, THAT SON OF A B***H SUDDENLY IMPRISONED ME HERE, AND HE EVEN USED THESE BLASTED ORIGIN DEVOURING CHAINS TO EXTRACT MY POWER! ARGH! AND TO MAKE IT WORSE, HE EVEN GAVE THIS POWER TO SOME LOWLY MORTALS! I... I CAN STILL TOLERATE BEING IMPRISONED NEAR A LOW-STAGED PLANET... BUT FOR MY POWER TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO SOME LOWLY MORTALS? ARGH! I CANNOT F**KING ACCEPT THAT!"

"Oi oi oi, I told you to say a story, not start a curse fest. Is your brain malfunctioning now?"

"AH! I’M SORRY MILORD! I WAS JUST OVERTAKEN WITH EMOTIONS...."

"Hmph, well I can understand the pain that you are going through... However, I do not have time to hear more about your sentiments! Tell me more about your life now!"

"ERM ABOUT THAT MILORD..."

"...What is it now?"

"WELL, THAT IS MY LIFE STORY ALREADY. I... JUST FINISHED TALKING ALL ABOUT IT."

"Wait, that’s it? That’s your life story?"

"YES MILORD! HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?"

"How do I feel about it? Are you kidding me? You just uttered 300+ words in your story, and you expect me to get entertained about that?"

"BUT MILORD... YOU TOLD ME TO MAKE IT AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE... THAT’S THE SHORTEST ONE THAT I CAN MAKE..."

"You must be kidding."

"I AM NOT KIDDING MILORD."

"Alina, please tell me that he’s just kidding."

"Alex, I’m sorry to say this, but he is not kidding..."

"Sigh..." This was all that Alex could say to himself as he shook his head.

"Why did I sign up for this job again?"

***********

The story that the blue prisoner had uttered had given Alex some information, especially about the part where the blue prisoner was imprisoned here on this moon!

But even with that, Alex still found himself asking more questions, which just made his mood more sour.

Well, even if the blue prisoner was a bad storyteller, Alex still managed to deduce some things about their current situation.

Now he had just to confirm some of these things with Lingo.

"Oi Lingo, before you start talking again with more ’mandatory stories’, answer this question of mine first. Are these people behind me the one who received your powers?" Alex asked the blue prisoner as he pointed his fingers towards the Symbolists. "Their power looks awfully similar to yours..."

"MILORD, IT IS INDEED LIKE WHAT YOU SAID. THOSE PEOPLE WITH YOU ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF MY POWERS..." The blue prisoner said this sentence with both rage and sadness, although the rage portion was restrained maybe due to his fear of Alex.

"Is that so huh..." Alex muttered to himself as he ignored the shouts of surprises and disbelief coming from the Symbolists behind him. "So all this time, you have been staying as a prisoner in this place?"

Alex changed his tone into a slightly sympathetic one, and the blue prisoner seemed to have detected it as he immediately started pleading to Alex.

"YES MILORD! I HAVE BEEN STAYING ON THIS PLACE FOR SO LONG, THAT I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS! MILORD! I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN ALREADY!" As the blue prisoner said these words, tears streamed down his face as he started pleading to Ales. "MILORD... WITH YOUR POWER, I’M SURE THAT YOU CAN FREE ME! I... I WILL DO ANYTHING THAT I CAN JUST TO REPAY YOUR FAVOR! MILORD! FREE ME, AND I WILL BE YOUR LOYAL SERVANT!"

"What the hell? Why would I want to free you?" Alex thought to himself angrily as he stared at the expectant face of the blue prisoner. "If I free this guy here, I have no idea on what he might do! But if I don’t do anything now... he might start doubting me! That is also not good!"

And with that, Alex realized that he was now stuck in a dilemma, and if he doesn’t do anything quickly, their currently simple interview might escalate into something undesirable for Alex.
