Chapter 1016: The Saint Silver Clan's God-Grade Powerhouse — Alice
Chapter 1016: The Saint Silver Clan's God-Grade Powerhouse — Alice
Mona floated listlessly in mid-air, her eyes half-closed and her body swaying as if she were about to drift off to sleep. She completely ignored the Skrull elites below.
However, before the two God-Grade beings returned, the Skrull elites had been gazing at her with reverent eyes. To them, Mona was a noble Saint Silver, and more importantly, a peak God-Grade powerhouse. Their admiration for her was unsurprising.
It wasn't until Plante and Manina III flew over and greeted her that Mona reluctantly pulled herself out of her nearly asleep state.
For Plante and Manina III, who were on the same level as her, Mona couldn't afford to be as dismissive as she was with the ordinary Skrull elites.
She gave the two Skrull God-Grades a slight smile and softly replied, "Greetings. Saint Song sent a message. The new God-Grade is in poor condition, so I'm here to take her to my place."
"Thank you for your trouble," Plante said with a smile. "I hope this God-Grade recovers quickly."
"Yes," Mona nodded slightly, then turned her head away.
Seeing Mona's cold and distant demeanor, Plante, who had intended to chat more, wisely chose to remain silent.
He turned to Manina, the Sun Emperor, and asked, "Manina, the Saint Silver God-Grade should be arriving soon, right?"
Manina immediately looked up and answered, "Yes, she's almost here. According to the precise time Morgan sent, the interstellar teleportation trace marks will be complete in less than three minutes. That means she should arrive in about three minutes."
"Three minutes, huh?" Plante nodded, which aligned with his expectations.
He turned again and loudly addressed the Skrull elites below, "Alright, everyone, let's show our utmost enthusiasm and welcome the Saint Silver God-Grade!"
"Alright!" The Skrull elites responded with a thunderous chorus.
...
Manina's timing was spot on.
Two minutes and fifty-eight seconds later, a vibrant blue teleportation gate opened in the spatial rift zone.
A small, agile figure then sprang out of the gate.
This small figure appeared to be a young Saint Silver girl, standing only 1.2 meters tall with a very youthful appearance, looking no more than five or six years old.
She wore a delicate but thin white leather armor and white leather boots, but her hooved feet were still visible.
After jumping out of the gate, she immediately blinked her innocent, wide eyes and curiously examined this new world.
Seeing this young girl, the Skrulls present were taken aback. They knew the God-Grade was female, but they hadn't expected her to look so young and innocent! She appeared to be a Saint Silver child!
If it weren't for the God-Grade aura emanating from the girl, they might have thought she was the child of the Saint Silver God-Grade, sent ahead through the gate.
However, they weren't overly surprised. Despite her youthful appearance, she might have chosen to maintain this form intentionally. God-Grade beings could transform into various shapes, and this was just a matter of personal preference.
...
The Saint Silver girl's eyes darted around, taking in the unfamiliar planet.
A cute, excited smile spread across her face. "Wow, this world is so beautiful! The air is rich with moisture, not at all dry, and the natives have green skin!"
After emerging from the gate, the girl ignored the Skrulls who had come to welcome her and began hopping around, her curiosity bursting.
But soon, her gaze landed on Mona, the only other Saint Silver present.
Mona, of course, was also watching her.
Their eyes met, and the Saint Silver girl immediately brightened up.
Her small, agile body darted forward, quickly flying toward Mona.
As she flew, she laughed, "Are you Mona... big sister? I'm Alice. Saint Song sent me here to carry out a mission and to follow your orders."
"Hello, Alice," Mona greeted the girl with a warm smile. She had a very good impression of the young one. "Where are you from?"
"Big sister Mona, I'm from Planet F775. And you?"
"I'm from Planet K6."
"K6? Isn't that the famous Secret Court planet? Are you from the Saint Silver Secret Court?!"
"Yes, I'm a teacher there."
”
“Wow! I didn’t expect you to be from the prestigious Saint Silver Secret Academy. Ninety years ago, I applied there, but unfortunately, I fell short by just 8.5 points and ended up at Prince College.”
“Prince College?” Mona was a bit surprised. “If you were only 8.5 points short, you could have gone to any other top-tier universities! Why did you end up at Prince, a third-rate... I mean, an average school?”
“Haha.” Alice blinked her adorable eyes. “That’s because my dad is the dean of Prince College, so I get to enjoy the best resources there.”
And I didn’t waste those resources; I ascended to the Divine Rank at the age of 80!”
“Hmm, looks like you’re a genius too!”
Mona and Alice found themselves drawn into a lively conversation as they got closer.
...
Mona had a very good first impression of Alice.
First, Alice had the appearance of a cute little girl, youthful and incredibly adorable.
Second, and most importantly, the Super AI Saint Song finally stopped her lowbrow habits, which made Mona very relieved!
Mona had firsthand experience with Saint Song’s lowbrow habits.
To outsiders, Saint Song was known for her fairness and impartiality, which was true.
However, over the past hundred years, as Saint Song gradually upgraded and became more human-like, she started to exhibit some lowbrow habits, enjoying harmless pranks on her citizens.
For example, take Mona herself.
As a teacher at Saint Silver Secret Academy, Mона knew Link and Tangna quite well.
It wasn’t just that she knew them; Mona had been married to Link, and they even had a daughter together.
But like many unhappy marriages, their passion waned over time, and life became increasingly dull.
Link was an old scholar, spending most of his days poring over books and conducting research. Mona, on the other hand, was a biology teacher, either lecturing to students or working with specimens from across the universe.
Their child had long since been taken away by Saint Song to be raised uniformly, with only occasional visits.
Over the years, their relationship grew increasingly distant, and they eventually divorced amicably.
Why did Mона call it Saint Song’s lowbrow habits?
Because Saint Song could have assigned them tasks in different regions, keeping them apart.
The galaxy has over 100 billion stars, and the Saint Silver Star System alone has over 400 billion, with countless habitable and non-habitable planets.
With so many planets and countless tasks, it was highly unlikely for Mona and Link to run into each other during their missions.
But Saint Song deliberately assigned them to the same mission, forcing this long-divorced couple to meet and tangle again. What else could this be but lowbrow habits?
And everyone knew about Saint Song’s lowbrow habits; every citizen had been “tricked” by them to some extent.
While it didn’t have a significant impact, it always left a sour taste making people feel very uncomfortable!
This time, meeting the cute little Alice made Mона happy, partly because she didn’t know Alice, and they lived on planets far apart.
Saint Song didn’t play her lowbrow tricks this time, so Mона felt particularly cheerful.
And Alice was indeed very cute! Her lively and adorable nature reminded Mона of her daughter, stirring up her maternal instincts. Mона’s gaze softened and became gentle and kind.
Even though Alice was over 100 years old...
...
Looking at the lively and energetic Alice, Mона asked affectionately, “Alice, Saint Song said your condition is poor. What exactly is wrong?”
“Um, well...” Alice tilted her head, thinking for a moment before explaining, “It’s about the cultivation technique I specialize in.
This technique was passed down to me by my father, and I started practicing it from the age of six. That’s why I’ve always had the appearance of a six-year-old.
But recently, my cultivation technique has had some issues, causing my strength to decline.
I had successfully ascended to the Middle Divine Rank half a year ago, but due to these issues, my strength has dropped back to the Lower Divine Rank. It will take one or two years to recover.
Saint Song told me that the battlefield on Blue planet and Skrew planet has many peak Divine Rank beings. With my current strength, there’s a chance I might fall if I’m not careful.
So I need to be extra cautious,,, and I’ll need your help, Sister Mона!”
After hearing Alice’s explanation, Mона nodded in understanding. “Oh, I see! Don’t worry; I’ll give you special attention on the battlefield.”
“Thank you, big sister!” Liru Alice was overjoyed. She eagerly flew over and hugged Mona's arm.
Mona looked at Alice with affection and gently patted her little head.
Meanwhile, the Skrull people present heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the conversation was in the Holy Silver Common Tongue, the words and grammar were simple enough that many in the crowd could understand.
Initially, they were worried that Alice might not be in top form, but now it seemed that even if her power had diminished, she was still a top-tier Lower God.
And the traitor, Sylia, was only a Lower God herself. Trading Sylia for Alice was a huge gain for them!
The Skrull people were overjoyed by this turn of events. Seeing Alice quickly bonding with Mona, they dared not slack off.
Plant and Manina III hurried forward and greeted Alice: "Lady Alice! We are the two strongest gods among the original inhabitants, and today we welcome you on behalf of all the Skrull people!"
"You're very kind, grandfathers," Alice continued to cling to Mona’s arm, her voice sweet and innocent. "My name is Alice, I’m 153 years old, and I’m a Middle God. Since you’re older, I think it’s appropriate to call you grandfathers, right?"
"Of course, of course!" Plant chuckled.
Both he and Manina III were nearly 2000-year-old beings, making Alice, who was just over 100 years old, seem incredibly young. They didn’t mind being called grandfathers at all.
Moreover, they were deeply impressed. Alice truly lived up to her reputation as a Holy Silver genius, reaching Middle God at just over 100 years. For Skrull people like them, it took at least 500 years to reach God-level, let alone Middle God.
Looking at Alice, Plant smiled, "Lady Alice..."
"Just call me Alice, please," Alice interjected. "Since I’ll be living with Lady Mona, it wouldn’t be convenient to disturb you all too much."
"Alright, Alice. If you need anything, just let us know. We’ll do our best to help you!" Plant replied.
"Really?" Alice's eyes sparkled with surprise.
She quickly asked, "Grandfathers, I’d like to explore your planet and see the sights. Is that alright?"
"Of course, no problem!" Plant answered without hesitation.
In his heart, he marveled at how lively Alice was!
Compared to Mona, who rarely ventured out, Alice was practically bouncing with energy! Both Holy Silver people, yet they were complete opposites.
"That’s great! I love exploring new things I’ve never seen before," Alice said with a sweet smile.
Then she turned to Mona, hugging her arm gently. "Big sister Mona, can I visit the opposing planet later? I want to see the Blue Star too."
"This..." Mona was taken aback by Alice’s request.
She hadn’t expected Alice to want to visit the Blue Star as well. After all, they were supposed to represent the Skrulls in battle, and even a casual visit to the Blue Star before the war seemed inappropriate.
But looking into Alice’s innocent and beautiful eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
After a brief moment of thought, she firmly replied, "Sure! Once you’re done exploring this planet, I’ll arrange for you to visit the Blue Star and ensure your absolute safety!"
Mona thought that she could contact Link to take care of Alice. After all, Link was the war inspector for this conflict, and the Blue Star people would likely show respect for Alice’s sake.
For some reason, Mona had already come to treat Alice like her own daughter.
...
Above them, the four gods were chatting animatedly, while the Skrull elites on the floating island were not idle.
Amid the cheers, they unfurled banners, using the translated Holy Silver Federation Common Tongue to welcome Alice.
Each of their expressions and gazes was filled with the utmost respect, even as Alice completely ignored them. They dared not show the slightest slack.
However, in the midst of the enthusiastic cheers, the Skrull Emperor Manina, standing at the front of the elites, wore a thoughtful expression.
Manina suddenly felt that something about the entire situation seemed off.
