Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 450 I“m sick and tired of being sick and tired!

"Rustle rustle..." The feeling of invigoration flooded Queen Mother’s body once more as she reverted back to her true form.

A sigh, which her current body could not release, echoed inside Queen Mother’s mind as she felt her branches swaying along with the winds.

Her massive body, which was towering on the structures all around her, began to grow larger and larger as Queen Mother used her power to absorb the vitality present on the world that she was in.

"..." Due to the sudden change on Queen Mother, every people nearby noticed her ’unavoidable’ appearance. Each one of them could only look at Queen Mother’s towering frame with both awe and fear, as this is the only way someone can treat a giant massive tree.

"..." Queen Mother took no notice of the attention given to her, as she was more focused on the mission at hand.

She knew that the longer she stays on her tree form, the slower and more sluggish her mind could be. After all, plants, are not meant to think that deeply, even those plants that gained their own awareness.

This means that she must perform her task as soon as possible, or else she might also revert back to her previous mentality.

"Just transforming back to being a World Tree is already extremely difficult for me. In fact, if it weren’t for the baptism that the Great TimeMaster gave me, turning back into a World Tree will be impossible for me." Queen Mother thought to herself as she began spreading out her massive consciousness all around her.

As her soul bolstered the spreading out of her consciousness, Queen Mother mentally frowned as she felt her mind slowing down more and more. This is not good for her, as she knew that the cannot stay in her current form for any longer.

"The price that I have to pay for reverting back to my tree form is costly, so I must make use of every single second that I am in my tree form." Queen Mother thought grimly as she felt her consciousness covering halfway of this world’s volume. "If I can’t even find what I am looking for in this current form, then what did I even come here for?"

Aside from having a powerful body, World Trees also have powerful souls and consciousness. Years and years of growing allows a World Tree to form a powerful soul, which makes it easier for them to communicate with other World Souls.

Right now, Queen Mother was using her powerful soul to search for the World Soul of this world, in hopes of rescuing it from danger.

But instead of finding what she was looking for, Queen Mother’s worst fears were instead confirmed after her soul swept all over the Four Moons World.

"There’s really... no World Soul in this world. If there’s no World Soul here, then does that mean that Alex was right?" Queen Mother thought to herself as she pulled back her consciousness. By this point, she could sense numerous powerhouses looking at her with interest, although she was not in the right state of mind to worry about them.

Queen Mother was more preoccupied with what she had discovered, and it was enough to make her downcast mood even worse.

"Blasphemy! This is blasphemy!" Queen Mother thought inwardly as her branches began to rattle, showing the anger that she was feeling right now. "Even if this place is an artificial world, I can feel with my power that a World Soul should have been born here. But even with that, I still can’t see any World Soul here! Tsk, this only means one thing. Something must have been used to prevent the World Soul from appearing! As for what that something is, it must have been..."

At this point, Queen Mother stopped her mental inquiry as she focused her observation on the sky.

Here, Queen Mother ’saw’ the celestial body that hovering above her.

The Blue Moon, which was the only moon left from the Calamity Era, could be seen clearly on the pristine sky.

Its blue color almost made it invisible against the blue sky around it, but those with sharp eyes can fully see it on its glory.

As for the Yellow Moon, Red Moon, and Green Moon, only their fragments were visible at this point, with most of them floating around the Blue Moon.

Compared to the Blue Moon, these fragments appeared insignificant, which made the Blue Moon appear like an imposing King.

"..." In face of this Blue Moon, Queen Mother curled her metaphorical lips as she began to treat this moon with hate.

This hate only intensified when she noticed something peculiar with the Blue Moon.

Now that Queen Mother had reverted back to her tree form, her soul had returned to its peak state too. This allowed her to monitor everything that are thousands of kilometers away from her, including even the celestial bodies.

The Blue Moon was naturally included in this category, which allowed Queen Mother to observe this moon in a higher detail.

"..."

Powerful force fields, the likes which can withstand attacks of numerous Peak Sixth Stage Beings, were currently gathered all around the Blue Moon’s surface. Each one of these force fields were emitting pulses of power that Queen Mother did not dare to underestimate.

After all, force fields that can tank attacks from Sixth Stage Being were things that Queen Mother cannot just ignore. In her current form, Queen Moher has no way to make a dent on these force fields. Even Alex or Alina won’t be able to do anything against these force fields too, as their current power is not enough to do anything against them yet.

"..."

With just one look at these force fields, Queen Mother can determine that whoever put it must be extremely protective of the Blue Moon. This in turn, solidified her conclusion that the Blue Moon was intended to suppress the Four Moons World.

"Perhaps in the past, the one who created this world used the four moons to suppress the creation of a World Soul." Queen Mother thought to herself as she pulled back on observing the Blue Moon. "That must have been the real purpose of the four moons...."

Even if her current form does not allow her to frown, Queen Mother’s agitation could still be felt from her leaves as they all drooped down in the same fashion.

"When Alex and the other Travelers came, they were so close to destroying all the moons. At the end of those conflicts, only the Blue Moon and the Yellow Moon remained. After that, all of us were forced to depart for other missions." Queen Mother mused quietly. "But when we returned here, we noticed that the Yellow Moon was also gone. Only the Blue Moon remained, with its body bolstered with extreme defenses."

"Something... something must have happened while we were gone that led to the destruction of the Yellow Moon. After that event, the Blue Moon was bolstered the point that only Transcendent Beings can destroy it. No matter which way you look at this, something is wrong here..." Queen Mother continued to think as her leaves returned to their upright position.

The fact that the Yellow Moon was gone, and that the Blue Moon was bolstered defensively brought more questions on Queen Mother’s already sluggish mind. But even when she was swamped by these, there was still one thing that she was sure right now.

"As of now, I do not know how the Yellow Moon was destroyed and on who was the one who placed those force fields on the Blue Moon. However, there is one thing that I am sure of. And that as long as the Blue Moon is not destroyed, the Four Moons World will never have a World Soul!" Queen Mother thought to herself as she suppressed the agitation on her body.

"If it were me, I would have already done something to destroy that Blue Moon. I just cannot tolerate its presence, as it was indirectly killing a World Soul! But even if I want to destroy it, those force fields make my goal impossible... Sigh. Why would someone be so cruel to prevent the growth of a World Soul? Does that person not know that in the end, he’s still preventing someone to live? How could someone be this heartless?"

At this point, even if Queen Mother’s emotions were dulled in her current form, the rage that formed inside her was enough to heat her body up. Steam which was as large as clouds began to billow of her trunk as her enraged body boiled from the inside. This elicited a panicked reaction from the crowd below her, and they did everything that they can to run away from her.

Just like usual, Queen Mother ignored them as she focused her attention on calming herself down.

But before she could even stabilize her emotions, a sudden fluctuation of power caught her attention.

"Hm?" If it were before, Queen Moher will also ignore this fluctuation, as there was just numerous powerhouses in this world. For someone to release their power is normal, as a free-for-all is happening right now.

However, the fluctuation that Queen Mother felt right now was both familiar and foreign to her.

"This... this is the power of the Abyss. But why.... why do I feel like its stronger than before? It was as if... I am currently facing a monstrous being right now!" Queen Mother though to herself with worry as her body went still.

Queen Mother rarely feels fear, as her lofty stature and massive vitality renders her almost unkillable, even by powerful Sixth Stage Beings.

But right now, she could clearly feel fear from this power that just suddenly appeared.

"Is this something that Alex did? If that’s the case, then why don’t I know anything about it?" Queen Mother thought as she felt the power increasing as time passed by. "Does he not trust us about his plan? Or is his plan so dangerous, that he does not want us to know about it?"

"Boom!"

Queen Mother’s query was immediately answered when a massive arm suddenly shot out from a building tens of kilometers away from her.

This arm looked unsuitable in this world, with its decaying body and unpleasant aura enough to provoke disgust and fear from Queen Mother. These feelings just increased when she saw numerous alien-looking appendages attached on the arm itself.

"..." Queen Mother’s mind went blank as she saw this arm, as the power that emanated from it was enough to silence her in fear.

Just the Abyss Energy emanating from this monster was exponentially higher compared to Alex, making this creature appear as a deadly Abyss Monster.

With this Abyss Monster only kilometers away from her, Queen Mother can only do her best to hide her presence, as she had the feeling that this arm can easily kill her, even in her current form!

"Alex, this Abyss Monster... its clearly more powerful than a Peak Sixth Stage Being! Is this Abyss Monster a Half-Step Transcendent or a Transcendent Being? If that’s the case, then how were you able to summon something like this here!" Queen Mother thought hastily to herself. "There’s no way that you can just easily call for help from this kind of being, even if you are the Abyss Envoy..."

"Boom!"

At this point, Queen Mother had to stop more of her thoughts as she saw what the Abyss Monster did next.

Without wasting any time on its sudden appearance, the floating arm shot straight into the sky, with its Abyss Power thrusting it up in an unbelievable speed.

A roar, which was comparable to that of a laughing devil, echoed out of the arm as it continued on flying up.

Nothing appeared to be able to stop this arm on leaving, which resulted on its smooth departure.

Just 2 seconds later, and the arm already left the world’s atmosphere, leaving nothing but only trails of black smoke on its wake.

It appeared to be uninterested on coming back, as there were no signs of its body falling back to the world.

"..."

Queen Mother was confused when she saw what the floating arm did, as she did not expect it to suddenly fly away from the world itself.

Since this monster was so powerful, then why would it waste its time flying away from the place where their opponents are?

This confusion however immediately disappeared when Queen Mother tracked the arm’s path.

"!!!"

To her chagrin and surprise, she realized that if the arm continues to follow its trajectory, it will eventually reach the Blue Moon! With the speed that this arm had on its departure, it will only take it a few more seconds to reach this moon!

In fact, it could have already reached the Blue Moon at this point!

"Alex.... So all of your plans lead to the destruction of the Blue Moon? If that’s the truth, then what do you plan to do after that?" Queen Mother though to herself with resignation as she stared at the still intact Blue Moon.

Complicated emotions filled her mind as she realized that with the power that that Abyss Monster had, destroying the Blue Moon is entirely possible.

But with the current situation, what use would destroying the Blue Moon be?

The act of destroying the Blue Moon will only give Alex one plausible benefit, and that benefit was the creation of a World Soul.

This is a great benefit, as the creation of a World Soul will allow the Four Moons World to have its own mind. Once this happens, the whole world could be free from the control of Emperor Litch. This is a Main-Mission completing scenario, so Queen Mother could not blame Alex for making this move.

However, this benefit has one major problem.

Even if the Blue Moon gest destroyed, it will still take at least a thousand years before a World Soul can be formed here in the Four Moons World. That span of time... is not something that Queen Mother and Alex had for the Main Mission.

So in short terms, even if Alex successfully destroys the Blue Moon, they do not have enough time to allow the creation of a World Soul, which meant that they will still not finish the Main Mission.

"Alex, so what the hell should I do now? Is there anything special that I should do?" Queen Mother thought to herself as she waited for the inevitable sound of destruction. "Or do I get to be a bystander again?"
