Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 405 So, will you talk or not?

"I want to form a team that can resist the alliance formed by Traveler Ray and Traveller Malthus." Duplicate Delia said as she clenched her teeth. She then grandiosely pointed her index finger at Alex as she made a motion of slitting it across her throat. "Alex, if you don’t ally with me right now, you and your allies will be vulnerable against the alliance of Ray and Malthus. So if you don’ want that happen to you, just accept my offer already!"

"Hm? Did you just say that Ray and Malthus have formed an alliance? How the hell did you know that?" Alex replied as he raised his eyebrows. He did not show any signs of being perturbed by what Duplicate Delia just said, although the slight tic on his eyes showed his interest about the topic.

"Yesterday, I sent a copy of mine to visit the location of Ray. I thought of scouting him there, but at the moment that my copy was close to Ray, she was immediately captured by Malthus himself." Duplicate Delia snorted as she crossed her arms. "Once my copy was captured, Ray and Malthus quickly flaunted about their alliance to me. They then tried to invite me to their alliance, but of course I rejected, since those two people were some of the worst people that I have ever seen. That rejection did not make them happy, so they quickly killed my copy. There, are you happy with my explanation now?"

"..."

"..."

"So you are saying that you, Ray, and Malthus arrived in this world earlier than us, and that you saw them forming an alliance together. Heh, doesn’t that just sound fishy?" Alex replied as he slightly shook his head. "How can I believe your claims of alliance, when you could be already an ally of those two? What if you were just here to trick me into joining you? What if you’re just a distraction that can make me vulnerable from sudden attacks? Hmph, did you think that I will be stupid to not think of these?"

Alex’s voice was dripping with schadenfreude at this point, making him sound somewhat sadistic. He seemed to be enjoying the irritation that flashed on Duplicate Delia’s eyes, which just made Duplicate Delia more irritated at him.

"Hmph, of course I know that you’re not that stupid. Did you think I willt ake the initiative to ally with you if you are useless?" Duplicate Delia replied as she started shaking her head too. "Alex, I know that you are someone who will do anything, as long as it will benefit you and your allies. This time, my offer to you is the best thing that you can get. So instead of just doubting me, why don’t you accept my alliance offer already? If you do this, you and I will be able to resist Ray and Malthus’s alliance!"

"You know, your offer sounds somewhat tempting. After all, Ray and Malthus banding together is a disaster waiting to happen." Alex said as he let out an amused smile. "If I were the target of those two, I would naturally want to form an alliance with you. But are your claims really true? How can you prove to me that those two are allied, and that you are sincere on allying with me? If you can prove it, then I will accept your offer readily. But if not, then I will personally make you leave."

"Hey! I already came here with sincerity, and you still don’t believe me? How dense could you get!" Duplicate Delia almost shouted out as she glared at both Alex and Alina. Her face appeared to be livid after hearing Alex’s binary statement, and it got more livid when Alina stared to smirk at her.

"I’m sorry Duplicate Delia, but because you are also a holder of a Divine Sensory Organ, I cannot tell if you are lying or not." Alina said to Duplicate Delia as the latter began to look extremely affronted. "That means that whatever you want to say to us holds not merit at all, since I cannot prove its truthfulness."

"There you have it Duplicate Delia. My answer to your offer is just simple. If you can prove that what you said are right, then I will ally with you. Otherwise, you can only go home alone." Alex said with finality as he started walking back to his apartment. He ignored the trembling Duplicate Delia as he brought Alina and the others back with him.

"What a p***y! Do you think that you can just deal with Ray and Malthus working together? Hmph, you have some guts if you are thinking you can do that!" Seeing that her attempt to convince Alex had failed, Duplicate Delia began to resort on threatening him. "Heh, I bet that by tomorrow, you and your friends will already be at the brink of death because of those two. Hehehe, let’s see if you can still act smug when you reach that point!"

"Duplicate Delia, I did not reject your offer. I just wanted to know if you are telling the truth. As long as you can do that, I will accept your offer." Alex said with his back turned towards Duplicate Delia. "Don’t act as if I abandoned you like a stray puppy. I still gave you a chance to prove yourself, so instead of sulking there, you should just do something more productive!"

"You.... I thought you were a decent person earlier. But you’re just like those two." Duplicate Delia replied as he gave Alex a glower. "You’re just as slimy as them."

"But at least I don’t like murdering and torturing people. That gives me plus points to you, right?" Alex replied as he pointed his finger guns at Duplicate Delia. "Come on, you can admit something like this to me..."

Duplicate Delia only shook her head upon seeing this, with her face looking sick from all the c**p that Alex gave to her.

There was no doubt that the talk between the two of them has already ended, and it will only resume when Duplicate Delia obtains what Alex had been wanting to get from her.

This made Duplicate Delia’s mood worse, as she realized that she had to waste more of her time if she wants to successfully form an alliance with Alex

"Tsk, just wait for me. I will show you the proof that Ray and Malthus are allied!" Duplicate Delia shouted angrily as her body began to disintegrate in front of Alex. "Hmph, once I show you the proof, I hope that you will still be clear-minded to receive my offer!"

"Yeah, we shall see that once you show your proof." Alex muttered as the dust from Duplicate Delia’s disintegration settled on the floor. "That is, if you really have a proof."

"Oi hooman! Why did you not accept her offer! You can clearly see that she’s telling the truth!" While Alina looked delighted with Alex’s ’rejection’ on Duplicate Delia, there was someone who was not happy with what Alex did. That someone was Asteria, and right now, she was staring at Alex in a clearly pissed-off manner. She seemed to have forgotten about her half-empty honey jar on the cabinet as she focused her ire on Alex alone.

"Hooman, even if you can’t detect lies like Alina, I know that your intuition is powerful enough to see that Duplicate Delia is telling you the truth. Or perhaps some portions of it. Since you can do that, then why did you not accept her offer? Are you nuts?" Asteria continued to say as she began to erratically fly around Alex. "Hooman... why are you being this stubborn? Is there something wrong with you?"

"Oi Asteria, first of all, I have a reason on why I did not accept Duplicate Delia’s offer readily. So don’t complain that I did this. You will see the benefits of what I did later." Alex, who was smiling at Duplicate Delia earlier, was now wearing a frown on his face as he stared at Asteria. "And second, why the f**k are you acting like you’re concerned for my safet?. Don’t act like a saint! I know what you did in the Immortal’s World! So don’t be like a naggy nanny when you’re just a double-crosser!"

"Hey hooman, what the hell are you talking about? Why are you calling me a double-crosser! I did nothing like that!"

"Hoh? So your secret ’talks’ with The Great TimeMaster was just normal then?"

"H-how did you know about that? That’s not something that she can tell you easily! Ah f**k! This is bad!"

"Yes, this is bad. It’s bad for you." Alex then grabbed Asteria out of the air with his hand, with her wings clasped directly between his fingers. He held her with such a tight grip that Asteria was unable to fly away from Alex, leaving her still stuck on his hand.

"Oi hooman! Unhand me right now!" Asteria shouted out as she continued to squirm under Alex’s tight hold. "If you don’t unhand me, then I will really make you regret this later!"

"Asteria... didn’t you promise to talk about your past to us? Since we still have some time before Duplicate Delia comes back, then why don’t you start telling about your past right now?" Alex slowly said as he ignored Asteria’s threats on him. "Come on, we are listening to you. Didn’t you like to talk? This is now your chance to entertain us! So go on, talk already."
