Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 579 Are you ready for the Surgery?

The loud cries of the aggrieved Arcane Empress continued to echo out in the air as she looked angry from the treatment given to her by Alex. She even looked like she wanted to bite him, something that Alex did not even pay attention to.

[ Alex ]: Immortal Empress, you now know what to do next, right?

Upon saying these words, Alex quickly summoned the 9 briefcases that he had kept inside his Storage.

Once summoned, he opened them all, revealing all the gifts, which at this point, were still filled to the brim with respective essences.

"Hong~"

The twin pairs of the Extreme Yang Universe Flame and Extreme Yin Cosmic Ice glowed aggressively inside the hut, with the temperatures around them going both high and low because of their presences.

Beside these two objects were the hearts of the 6-colored Undying Phoenix and 6-Armed Shinigami, both of which emanated the vitality of life and emptiness of death.

Those who saw the heart of the Phoenix could feel their vitality boiling, while those who observed the Shinigami heart could feel their blood turn cold, as if they were about to approach death.

The index finger of a dead World Creator and the eye of a Dream Lurker were still present among the gifts, which both still exerted their power over reality and illusions. Countless illusory figures could be seen jumping all around the eye of the Dream Lurker, which were quickly snuffed out by the index finger of a dead World Creator.

Behind these two objects were the hourglass filled with Time Essence and the Space-Breaking Stone, which at this point, still has the essences of Time and Space filling their bodies respectively.

Time could be seen slowing down around the hourglass, while rifts and holes in space could be seen in front of the Space-Breaking Stone.

The hearts of a Martial God and a Soul Reaper could also be seen clustered together near the center of the hut. These two objects represent a duality too, with the extreme power of the Martial Goad heart seemingly able to shake the bodies of anyone who saw it.

As for the heart of the Soul Reaper, the souls of those who got close to it all started to shiver too, as this heart seem to contain the power to damage even the strongest of the souls.

The next pair of gifts that came out were just as impressive as the others. The corpse of a 6-winged angel from the Holy Order Realm came out, with her body brimming with the essences of virtue and righteousness. It made the surrounding area seem holy and virtous, making the nearby people feel guilty for their sins and wrongdoings.

Once this corpse has appeared, Alex let out a sigh as he released massive amounts of Abyss Energy, which he formed into a ball. This ball, which was filled to the brim with the concepts of sin, seem to glow aggressively as it faced the corpse of the angel. This aggressiveness just increased when he sent the ball towards the angel corpse, which then formed the unlikely pair of sin and virtue.

Situated at the far corner of the hut were the 7th pair of gifts that was given to Alex. The cores of the deceased Creation God and Destruction God were these gifts, and they appeared to be emulating their essences of creation of destruction on their surroudings.

Tiny, indescribable objects could be seen suddenly being created right on the spot by the core of the Creation God. These objects only lasted for at most a second, as the nearby core of the Destruction God was destroying them as fast as they were created.

The 8th pair of gifts for Alex can be said to be the most mysterious one, and the way that they acted when they appeared seem to be supporting it.

The golden paper, which represent the power of Fate, has this strange effect of enticing anyone to snatch the paper and take it for themselves. As for the knife, which represent the power of Will, it brought upon extreme pain to the minds of the people who saw it.

The final object among the gifts were just as imposing as the others. This gift was the brain of a Celestial Dragon, which with just one look, obviously contains a massive amount of Light Essence. Even those without any power can see this, as right now, this brain was glowing like a sun inside the hut.

Upon seeing this great glow from the brain of the Celestial Dragon, Alex only let out a nod as he summoned another object from his storage. This objet was a vial, which was filled with Alina’s Dark Energy.

Once summoned, Alex made the vial go closer to the brain of the Celestial dragon, an action which seemed to have jolted a reaction from these two objects.

Alex of course ignored these reactions as he now went back to looking at the Immortal Empress.

[ Alex ]: Immoral Empress, these were the gifts that you gave to me. As you can see, they’re filled with the ’Essences’ that I need for my breakthrough. Do you think you can deal with all of these objects?

[Immortal Empress]: Hmph, of course I can, Alex! Just watch me!

"Shula!"

With her face bright from happiness, the jolly Immortal Empress then waved her hands as she activated her power on the gifts scattered around her. Small amounts of Immortal Qi came out of her body, which she then transformed into tendrils that she extended towards the objects around her.

Even if the Immortal Empress was seemingly weakened due to her child-like form, it did not stop her from using her Immortal Power.

[Immortal Empress]: Alex, with my power as the Immortal Empress, it will be easy for me to extract these Essences. Hmph, I can even say that I can extract them within a second! Isn’t that impressive Alex?

While saying these words, the tendrils that the Immortal Empress sent out has begun to do their jobs.

"Heng~"

Once they made contact with the gifts, a powerful suction force was unleashed by the tendrils, all which were focused on the gifts alone. This suction force then slowly but surely extracted the essences present on the gifts, creating a scenery that made Alex sigh in relief.

[ Alex ]: Good job, Immortal Empress! I know that you can do it! Because you are really good, then I will double the amount of candies that I will give to you!

[Immortal Empress]: Yay! Candy candy candy!

[Arcane Sorceress]: Waaah!!! Why are you giving her more candy when you snatched mine? It’s unfair!

Upon seeing Alex’s preferential treatment on the Immortal Empress, the saddened Arcane Sorceress seemed to be unable to take it anymore.

She started lashing out towards Alex at this point, with her teary eyes and pouted lips doing their best to make Alex feel guilty.

Alex of course was unfazed by this look, although a sly smile could be seen from his face as he began talking to the Arcane Sorceress.

[ Alex ]: Arcane Sorceress... If you want more candy, then you should help me out. Question is, is there something that you can do to help me out?

[Arcane Sorceress]: Ah um...

The little girl floundered upon hearing Alex’s question, as if she found herself unable to answer him.

This reaction only made Alex smile wider, although he also shook his head with disapproval at this point.

[ Alex ]: Forget it, Arcane Sorceress. If you can’t think of anything right now, then just stay in the corner and cry like a baby. Just approach me... if you already have an idea on what to do.

[Arcane Sorceress]: Eh? But-

[ Alex ]: For now, enjoy your No-Candy day. Maybe you will find something else to eat during this period. Oh, but I will end this No-Candy day if you will help me out. But from what I can see, it seems like that will not happen any time soon...

[Arcane Sorceress]: No!!! Waaaah! My candy!!!

[ Alex ]: Professor Frances, you know now what to do!

[ Professor Frances ]: Tsk, you don’t need to shout to me, Alex. I’m concentrating here, ok?

[ Alex ]: ....

The cries of Arcane Sorceress were forgotten by Alex quickly as he now focused his attention on the brooding Professor Frances.

The professor was holding the Soul-Splicing Knife in a surgical way, making it appear that she was treating the knife as a scalpel for surgeries. This kind of pose made Alex’s breath slow down, as he knew that Professor Frances only gets serious once she performs ’surgery’ on anything, dead or alive.

The Professor’s eyes were also narrowed in concentration at this point, with her body lacking any tic or unneeded tremble that might throw off her aim. These actions just maker her seriousness more obvious, a fact that Alex was of course happy to see.

[ Professor Frances ]: Surgery No. 1,002,232,979 now commencing.

[ Professor Frances ]: Subject: The soul of a Sixth Stage Being.

[ Professor Frances ]: Recommended Surgery Method: Brute-Force Surgical Cutting.

[ Professor Frances ]: Estimated time of the surgery: 9 seconds. Approximately 1 second for each cut.

[ Professor Frances ]: Estimated recovery time: It will depend on the patient.

[ Professor Frances ]: Success Rate: 5%

[ Alex ] W-wait! The success rate of this operation is 5%? What the f**k? Why did you just say it now? Are you thinking of kill-

[ Professor Frances ]: Operation shall commence in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1-

[ Alex ]: Hey!

Whatever complaint Alex was trying to give at this point was cut off, as Professor Frances began swinging her knife towards Alex’s soul.

Her Soul-Splicing Knife, which glowed menacingly in front of Alex, seemed to ignore all obstacles as it headed towards his soul, which can only shake as the knife got closer to it!
