Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 635 Revealed Secret!

Corruption.

This term was something that Delia was familiar with, as her status as the Envoy of the Holy Order Realms requires her to deal with happenings related to the Abyss’’Corruption’.

[ Delia ]: And here I thought you were just hiding a normal secret from me, Alina. But as it turns out, you’re actually keeping a corrupted being here!

Because she was the Holy Order Envoy, there had been times where Delia had to deal with cases related to the Abyss’ Corruption.

People driven by insanity.

Families wrecked by temptations and countless phony deals.

Countless minds broken and forced to worship evil beings.

Mutations and physical changes that made many creatures turn grotesque.

These were some of the cases that Delia had dealt with before, and the way that these cases had disregarded life has served to fuel Delia’s animosity towards the Abyss Realm.

[ Delia ]: Hmph, I don’t know why this is happening now, but since this is a matter related to the Abyss, I, the Holy Order Envoy, shall do my task to clear this mess today!

If it weren’t for Alex’s strength before, Delia could have already done everything that she can in order to kill him.

Alex was after all the Abyss Envoy, and even if he had treated Delia amicably all this time, there’s just no knowing on when Alex’s situation will change.

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

All this time, Delia was not sure if her decision on letting Alex still live is a right one.

Why would she kill Alex, when he’s not corrupting anyone? By killing him, Delia might have led to the downfall of a person who could have been a great help to her. That will be really bad.

But on the other hand, not killing Alex will also be a detriment on Delia’s status. After all, her job was to ’silence’ any visible threats related to the Abyss Realm...

[ Delia ]: Hey! Why are you just silent there, Alina? Come and do something about this! If you don’t, then many lives will be in danger too!

Her choice of letting Alex live in the past has slightly faltered Delia’s conviction to herself, something that has created a small flaw in her Holy Order Power.

This small flaw however was so minor, that the woman herself did not notice it. She did not even know that something like this existed inside her body.

But if Delia continues to be this unsure in the future, it is highly likely her chance of Transcending in the future will be nil.

[ Delia ]: Grrr....

But now that Alex had shown his true colors, Delia has no more hesitation on her body.

Alex was obviously "Corrupted’ by the Abyss! All the evidences were pointing to that.

The malicious aura covering Delia and Alina? This is obviously a special aura that only Transcendence Abyss Monsters have.

Since there is this kind of aura here, then there must be something where it comes from.

And as it turns out, this aura was actually coming from inside Alex’s room!

Since Alex was the only person inside the room, then it is obvious that this malicious aura was coming off from him....

[ Delia ]: I don’t care what your reasons for keeping such a secret from me, Alina. Right now, I have to do my job as the Holy Order Envoy. And you... you cannot do anything to stop it!

Delia should have suspected of this before.

All the evidences had pointed the possibility of Alex being infected by the Abyss, and yet Delia actually did not see them?

As the Envoy of the Holy Order Realms, such oversight was enough to make Delia see red.

[ Alina ]: No you can’t do that, Delia! If you do, Alex will-

[ Delia ]: Do you think I will allow you to stop me? Hmph, this is a corruption that we’re talking about!

[ Alina ]: You-

[Delia ]: Alina, if this corruption manages to spread from this place, then many innocent residents from this world will be corrupted too! Do you think I will allow that to happen? As the Holy Order Envoy, of course I can’t! So don’t you dare block my way!

Right now, Delia does not give any f**k on why Alex has become corrupted.

Since Alex had already fallen to the dark side, the best that Delia can do was to prevent Alex from ’infecting’ anyone else.

[ Delia ]: The corruption of the Abyss is a sickness, one that must be stopped from spreading at all costs. It doesn’t matter what I do. As long as I can cull this sickness at its core, then I will do it. And even if it means that I have to kill your lover, I will still do it!

[ Alina ]: No!!!!

Delia had already seen all the bad effects of the Abyss’ Corruption, as such she was not happy to let it spread anymore.

Only death, suffering, and insanity will appear wherever there is corruption, which are the things that Delia does not tolerate.

[ Delia ]: Alina, instead of getting angry to me, you should be actually happy. After all, I am about to end Alex’s suffering. He... did a good job stopping the corruption from spreading. As such, I shall give him an honorable death, one that will be painless for him!

[ Alina ]: !!!

At this point, Delia had already forced herself to forget about her alliance with Alex.

Alex had already been corrupted, so any more dealings with him will just be futile.

For now, Delia has a job to do, and she had to do it properly.

[ Delia ]: THE HOLY ORDER ENVOY DELIA SHALL NOW CAST HER JUDGEMENT UPON THE CORRUPTED ABYSS ENVOY ALEX. MAY THE HOLY ORDER REALM BLESS ME IN THIS TASK!

[ Alina ]: I said stop!

"Hong~"

Without letting Alina do something to save Alex, the eager Delia quickly activated her Holy Order Power at its fastest speed.

6 pairs of wings that were as large of that of an eagle’s sprouted out of Delia’s body, with their white plumage and refreshing appearance displayed for everyone to see.

"Hula~"

These wings quickly flapped behind her as they appeared, forming a large nexus of feathers that covered her body protectively.

"Shul~"

Each wing exuded a comfortable and relaxing aura, one which quickly subdued all the malicious thoughts inside Delia.

This allowed Delia to regain her thinking, as well as allow her to use her power without any hesitation now.

[ Delia ]: Since Alex knows all the Sins of the Abyss, then killing him with the Virtues will be null. However, there is something that can kill you. And that’s the ’Ordinal Power’ of the Holy Order Realm!

"Boom!"

Just as Alina was about to release her virtual body, Delia made another move again.

This time however, she did not unleash any attack from her displayed power.

Instead, Delia used her free time to summon an object from inside her storage.

"...."

The time that Delia spent to get this object was just enough for Alina to finish summoning her Virtual Body.

Obviously, Alina quickly used her Virtual Body to attack against her opponent.

[ Alina ]: I understand why you are so eager on killing Alex. But that does not mean that I will just allow you to do it!

"Slash!"

Like an assassin who unleashed her lethal strike, Alina’s Virtual Body created a slash through dimensions, an attack which was headed straight towards Delia’s stationary body.

Large rifts in space and time appeared along the path of the slash, making it look even more terrifying than the malicious aura earlier.

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

If Alex could see this slash, he will surely praise it, as its mechanics and ability were way beyond what Alina could have done before.

After all, this slash was no ordinary slash.

This slash was an attack that was able to affect the nearby upper dimensions, and even time was also included in this effect!

With such kind of capability, there is no way that someone can just easily dodge this slash.

They either have to bear the brunt of it, or use a convoluted way to dissipate the strike.

[ Delia ]: ....

Delia seemed to have chosen the first option, as she did not leave her spot even when the slash was about to hit her body.

Delia just stood still on her place, with her hands now cradling the object that she obtained from her storage earlier.

[ Alina ]: ...

Seeing Delia’s nonchalant attitude made Alina feel slightly worried, as she thought that Delia might have a way to counteract her attack.

But what could Delia do against Alina’s powerful attack? She either has to use more of her powers, something that Alia had been banking on to happen.

But as fate had set it in store, what happened next was something that even Delia did not expect.

[ Delia]: That is a nice attack, Alina. Even I in my current state has to use my Spear God Manifestation just to dissipate this strike. That shows how powerful this attack is. But do you think that I will use my Spear God Manifestation? No, I will not use that.

[ Delia ]: Because even if I use my Spear God Manifestation on you, it won’t help me on killing Alex.

[ Delia ]: As such, I have to use something powerful. Something.... That can instantly kill him.

[ Delia ]: And that something is already in my hands. All that I have to do now is to just use it...

Just before Alina’s slash could reach Delia, the latter began raising her hand, revealing the object that she was holding since earlier.

[ Alina ]: !!!

Once this object was revealed, all that Alina could feel was panic, as she realized what it was!

[ Alina ]: You! How in the world were you able to obtain a Transcendence Shard?

As it turns out, the object that Delia obtained from her storage earlier was actually a Transcendence Shard!

And it’s a Transcendence Shard related to her Holy Order Power!

[ Delia ]: I won’t be telling you, Alina. After all, I will be using this to end Alex’s life.

[ Alina ]: ....

Once this shard had made its appearance, the attack unleashed by Alina quickly disappeared, as if the presence of the Holy Order Transcendence Shard was enough to make it disappear.

This left the now smug-looking Delia staring at Alina, who looked at the former with a fed-up expression.

[ Alina ]: You’re crazy! You will use that to kill Alex? You’re really making sure that he will really die!

[ Delia ]: Hmph, even if Alex had already stopped fusing with his shard, he might still have traces of power left in his body. Because of that, I had to take precautions, especially now that he’s being corrupted by the Abyss.

The sight of the Transcendence Shard in Delia’s hands had already confirmed her eagerness to kill Alex. As such, no excuses from Alina will work anymore.

Alex has to die now, and even if Delia has to fuse herself with a shard, then she will still do it!

[ Alina ]: Delia, I am telling you! Please stop this at once! If you do, it will just-

[ Delia ]: It’s too late, Alina. I have begun fusing with this shard already, so instead of standing there like an idiot, I advise you to just run away.

[ Alina ]: !!!
