Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 410 I Want to Explode

"As long as you don’t agree to what I am offerRing, I will never stop bothering you." A voice replied amidst the wreckage created by the sword attack. This voice sounded somewhat weary, although it held the timbre of someone proud. "So can you please withdraw your sword now? If this stays right in front of me for any longer, I might accidentally break it, you know."

"Break it? Hmph, what an obnoxious thing for you to say." Alex replied calmly as he stared at the person who just talked back to him. "Duplicate Delia, you do know that you’re alone right in front of me, right? For you to come here for the second time is already commendable, and you did it even if you know that there’s already a Bonus Mission set for killing Travelers. You must really want that alliance if you can do something like this..."

"Just like what I told you earlier, I want the alliance, and I will never stop on asking for it." As the dust from the Alex’s attack settled down, everyone was able to see Delia’s appearance, and it was nothing but typical for someone like her.

Delia had her body stuck on a spear thrusting pose, with her spear extended right in front of her.

Her whole body was slightly trembling as she held her spear, although the way that she trembled was normal, given the situation that she is in right now.

At the end of her spear, Alex’s sword could be seen, still trying to push its way towards Delia. It’s lightning-clad body was making its continuous effort to destroy all of its obstacles, but Delia’s spear was able to stop it head-on.

This steady, and somewhat recurrent collision has resulted in a minor stand-off between Delia and Alex’s sword, with Delia stuck on blocking the sword, and the sword stuck from its intended purpose of skewering Delia.

"Let me say this first. Your clone is impressively powerful. It can even stop my Sword of Indomitable Will from killing you. That’s not something that anyone can just do." Alex suddenly said as he waved his hands.

"Hong~"

The sword let out a humming sound as it flew back towards Alex, disappearing quickly inside the vicinity of his palm. The lightning and the powerful aura that it was exuding was also absorbed back by Alex’s palm, bringing the whole room back to its original state.

The previous suppression that the sword had on its surroundings earlier has now disappeared, making it appear as if it never existed at all.

This disappearance made Alina and the others slightly relax their tense bodies, with their breathing back at its normal state.

However, that was not the only thing that disappeared along with the sword. Alex’s somewhat flamboyant attitude as he attacked Delia earlier seemed to have disappeared too, as if the existence of the sword had willed it to happen in the first place.

Alex went back to his methodical, calm self at this moment, and he did not waste that change as he kept on observing Duplicate Delia.

"Duplicate Delia, you know that forming allies is a big risk to do, especially with the Bonus Missions given to us." Alex slowly said as he kept his narrowed eyes on Delia. "If you ally with me, I can just kill you to gain that Shard of Transcendence. Likewise, you can also kill me to gain the same thing.... Now that things are already like this, trusting you to be my ally is almost impossible..."

"Didn’t you ask for evidence earlier about the alliance between Ray and that Demon Malthus? Hmph, I brought it for you!" Duplicate Delia, who looked unfazed with Alex’s rejection on her, said as she drew out a golden card out of her sleeves.

This golden card had 64 engraved symbols on it, making it look like a heavily-clad symbol card. These symbols were also constantly shifting and moving on the surface of the card, creating a somewhat unusual sight.

"Alex, I know that you possess danger sense, so you will know if this card is dangerous to you. Not only that, but you also have someone with the All-Seeing Eyes with you, and she can observe anything fishy hidden inside the card." Delia said as she waved the golden card around her." Hmph with that two things assisting you, what do you think of this card? Do you see or feel any danger from this card of mine?"

"None." Both Alex and Alina replied, saying the same answer at the same time.

"Good, now receive it!" Duplicate Delia urgently said as the threw the golden card towards Alex. As this card sailed across the air, Duplicate Delia’s body started to disintegrate again, although its rate of disintegration was slower compared to the first clone earlier.

"Once you finish using that card, I will wait for you at the Spartan Buffet, located inside the Celestial Super Mall. If you want to ally with me, then you better go there." Duplicate Delia said as her head began to disintegrate too. "If you are really like what you say, then you will accept this."

"...."

Duplicate Delia’s body then disappeared into the thin air, leaving this place at the same way that her original clone did. Alex and the others only stared at her departure with varying expressions on their faces, although suspicion and amusement was still prominent on them.

"This card is nice hooman. Will you give that to me later?" Asteria the fairy said. She seemed to have ignored what just happened as she was only staring at the golden card with obvious greed on her face. "Hooman, what do you say of it?’

"Piss off, dumb fairy. I have to use this thing first." Alex replied as he tried to swat Asteria away. "And besides, you are still not telling your story to us. If you want to buy something from me, then you better talk about yourself first! Hmph, since we are already busy, I guess I will only hear about your story later..."

"....Hooman, you really want to make my life difficult. Why did I even decide be your Guide?"

"Hm? What did you just say?"

"Nothing hooman."

"....Okay."

"...."

"Oi Fairy, tell us about all the items and power-ups that we can buy right now. Since the Main Mission has been updated, your selling list will be updated too, right?"

"...Homan, you’re lucky that you remembered asking me that. I almost forgot about that matter too."

"Okay, I forgive you for forgetting already. Now, just show us the goods."

"...Fine."

*********************

3 HOURS LATER

"Alex, are you sure that it is okay for us to be out here?" A slightly worried voice sounded behind Alex’s ears. "With the state of the technology this world is in, one wrong move from us could lead to premature dangers!"

"Alina, with our appearance right now, I doubt that those cameras can recognize us." Alex replied from his ’Envy-Modified Body’. "I already used the power of Envy to change my appearance, and I also used her power on you and Professor Frances. Trust me, with the way that you look, nobody, not even that Delia can suspect your appearance."

"And besides, we already bought some fake identities from Asteria earlier, which means that we have a greater range of freedom in this world." Professor Frances chimed in as she walked closer at Alex. "Alex, what was your new name in that fake identity of yours again?"

"I am called Alexander, the sweet and seductive Casanova who graduated from the Miracle Academy." Alex replied as he let out a smile from his unusually handsome face. His silky white skin and long black hair accentuated this already absurd beauty, making any woman around him look at him twice.

"Yes, I can see why you are called a Casanova. You can even make those women lust for you." Alina snorted as she crossed her slender arms. "You must be liking this attention placed on you, right?"

"You can say that again." Alex replied with amusement. "But worry not Natalia, you are still the one in my heart. So don’t look at those women with anger. You’re the only one in my eyes..."

"Alex, stop calling me Natalia privately. Just call me that when people can hear us."

"Hmm? Who are you calling Alex? I am Alexander, the great Casanova. And you are Natalia, the slender but ferocious butcher of the pigs. Hmm... are you stressed from work last night? Natalia, I think you should eat more for later..."

"....."

Because of the upgrades that Alex received for his Abyss Power, all of his Sprites gained better versions of their powers, and that includes Envy herself.

Before, Envy can only use most of her abilities on Alex alone. But now, she can also use it on other people, as long as these people gives consent for it. Alex naturally took advantage of this upgrade, as he used Envy to change his appearance along with his Companions.

Alex had his appearance changed to the ’Casanova’ template that he was talking about, while Alina is now donning the appearance of a ferocious-looking lady butcher. As for Professor Frances, she looked like a meek little girl, who had freckles on her face and golden hair locks trailing on her back.

The change that Envy induced in these three was so great, that even their auras were that of different people too. Combine this change with the fake identities that they bought from Asteria earlier, and they are now ’legitimate’ citizens of this world.

Queen Mother was the only exception from this change, as she was still busy dealing with her ’process’. Right now, she is inside Alina’s Storage, still doing her best to persevere through the pain. No one was sure on when she can break free of her situation, so Alex opted to just hide her first.

She can just deal with the identity problem later, as her power and well-being was more important for her.

"You’re talking about eating already... It was as if you want to really go to that restaurant." Alina replied in a low tone as she gave Alex a narrowed glare. "Spartan Buffet, was it? That’s the place where Delia and possibly her allies were waiting for you. Are you really planning on meeting them?"

"Well, even if I liked what I saw in that golden card, that does not mean that I am eager to face those three already." Alex replied as he shrugged his shoulders. "Since Delia said that she will wait there, then we just have to make her wait there. For now, we shall do a different thing."

"And what is that different thing?" Professor Frances said as she slowed down her walking pace. The skirt that she was wearing appeared to be hampering her movements, leaving the professor no choice but to lower her walking pace. "Is it something important, that you are fine with delaying a possible alliance with a Traveler?"

"Of course it is important, little Dolly." Alex replied as he sent a placid smile at Professor Frances’ small body. "In fact, you can say that its importance was just at the same scale with the alliance. Because of that, I decided to deal with this thing first."

"Don’t call me Dolly casually. Even if that name is synonymous to the success of genetic engineering on your favorite world, I don’t want hearing that already. Just give me a nickname already!"

"But Dolly is a good nickname for you, little Dolly."

"..."

"So, where were we again? Right, we’re talking about what we should do now." Alex clapped his hands as he said these words, making him sound too enthusiastic. "What we will do right now is just simple. We just have to EXPLODE!"
