Endless Journey: Infinite Realms 413 ViewCube

Even though she was not touching any weapons, Delia kept her body in a tense state. She then took a deep breath as she slowly fed power to the spear floating inside her soul.

This spear was different from the normal spear that Delia uses, as this spear inside her soul was both material and immaterial, giving it miraculous properties that are just unfathomable even for a spear artist like her.

"Hong~"

This spear, which was magnitudes stronger compared to Delia's original spear, let out a low hum in accordance to Delia's battle state.

It only needed a command from Delia to shoot out of her body, and it will strike down anything that Delia wanted to be dead, even those that are deemed as holy by Delia!

Right now, Delia was keeping this spear of hers in high alert, lest Alex tries to do something to her.

"Alex, ff you won't anawer me within 5 seconds, then I will be forced to attack you." Delia replied as her Ethereal Spear trembled more inside her. "So if you want to be still alive, just state your purpose already!"

"You're still as pushy as ever. Now I understand why the Holy Order Plane chose you as its Envoy. You're just as hard-headed as its residents." Alex muttered behind Delia, which made her clench her teeth in anger. "But I like that pushiness. So I say this to you now. I agree with your alliance offer, only under the pretense that we will form it under a Traveler's Oath. You can deal with something like that, right?"

"Yes… I can deal with it. Just don't try to act smart while we make the terms of our alliance." Delia replied, with her not letting her guard down. "Surely you won't be that kind of a dick."

"Of course not. The golden card that you showed me earlier was a great object and treasure, so much so that it made me view you in a better light." Alex replied in a praising tone, although his praise did nothing to lift up Delia's spirits. "So don't worry about me tricking you. After everything that you showed me, all I want now was to have a genuine friendship with you."

"Friendship my ass. Let's just get this over with!" Delia replied angrily as a pen materialized in her hands. The same pen also appeared on Alex's hands, creating a tense atmosphere that was enough to make Delia's Companions go stiff. "The longer that we wait here, the more dangerous that it will be for us."

"Yes… danger. That's the word that we Travelers have to face everyday." Alex replied as he pushed his pen towards Delia. "We have no choice but to face it, but sometimes, reducing it is a good thing to do."

"…."

Delia had no reply to that, as she found Alex's words extremely right.

1 HOUR LATER

"Sis, now that you have formed an alliance with Alex, will we work closely together with him?" Tong'er asked as she gave Delia a quizzical look. Right now, this girl was licking a cone of vanilla ice cream, with some parts of the ice cream dripping on her clothes. The girl took no notice of these stains as she only focused her stare at Delia.

"Of course we will not work closely with Alex. Our alliance only is about protecting each other against the alliance formed by Ray and Malthus." Delia replied with a snort. "That means that a long as one of us gets attacked by Ray or Malthus, the other one shall send some aid to us. That is the only way that we can help each other."

"…"

"As for finishing the Main Mission, or doing the Bonus Mission, that will still be up to your own effort." Delia said as she gave her ice cream to the hungry-looking Milo. Milo then triplicated this ice cream, sharing the two other copies to the ladies. "So don't be worried about being forced to work with that guy. Without a legitimate excuse for him, it will be impossible for him to even approach us…"

"But Alex was able to approach us earlier without us noticing him. Maybe he can do that again…"

"...Ehem, even if he has a powerful stealth ability, as long as he's within my attack range, any dirty attacks that he'll try will just be intercepted by me! So don't sweat about that problem already!" Delia exclaimed as she shook her head.

"Ok…"

"Hmph, now that we have hammered a deal with that man, it's time for us to worry about the other things. So Tong'er, what did your Ghost Familiars discover about this world that is not shown on the internet? Are there any dark secrets that we can use to our advantage?"

After hearing this question from Delia, Tong'er's initial reaction was to frown, which made her almost miss her next lick of the ice cream. Luckily for her, she was able to adjust her hold of the ice cream on time, allowing her to enjoy another taste of it.

"Sis… there's a lot of dark secrets in this world. My Ghost Familiars only roamed the area 100 Kilometers all around us, and they already faced a lot of Tainted Souls." Tong'er said as a sad expression appeared on her face. "All those Tainted Souls were saying the same thing. They're saying that Emperor LItch killed them for a heinous experiment, and that he did a lot of bad things to them for the sake of that experiment…"

"A heinous experiment? Hm, so that guy really is a madman. And you're saying that all the Tainted Souls that you met were caused by that experiment? Hmph, that man must be up to something fishy and important."

"That's what I think so too, Sis." Tong'er replied as she nodded her head. "And apparently, this experiment is still running up until today, and nobody from the Tainted Souls know when the experiment will end…"

"F**k, he's still doing that even today? Argh! Those poor souls! Because of that f**king Emperor, those Tainted Souls have no more future! Grr… I must find a way to make Emperor Litch suffer for his sins here!" Delia's face contorted in anger as Tong'er's latest words have seemingly drove her mad. "The Holy Order does not accept heretic people like Emperor Litch, so he must be judged!"

"But Sis, how can you judge that Emperor if he has this kind of power? What can we even do to fight him?"

"Tong'er, sometimes a battle must not be fought head on. Sometimes it is better to fight it in the darkness." Delia softly replied as she patted Tong'er's head.

"In the darkness?'

"Yes, in the darkness, where it will be difficult for that Emperor to find us."

"Sis, when you said darkness, do you mean it by…"

"Yes Tong'er, if we want to bring down this Emperor Litch, we must first destroy this experiment that he had been running for 200+ years already!" Delia almost shouted out these words as a manic glint appeared on her eyes. "If this man put a lot of effort in that experiment, then destroying that experiment will surely be a crippling blow on him! Hahaha! And once we did that, we can strike towards the Emperor himself!"

"….Sis, are you sure that this will work?"

"Tong'er, who do you think I am? I am Delia, the great Envoy of the Holy Order Plane! As long as I have this status, I can do all things possible in this world!" Delia said in a louder tone.

"Sis, are you talking about receiving blessings from the Holy Order Plane again? From what I can remember, you can only ask for their blessings for a limited amount of tries! Are you sure that you want to use this here?" Tong'er suddenly asked as she gave Delia a wide-eyed look. "And the Holy Order Plane will only give you their blessing if they felt like it! What if they don't give it to you?"

"Don't worry Tong'er. As long as I explain to them the heinous deeds that Emperor Litch did in this world, they will be too happy to give me their blessings." Delia replied in a confident tone. "So don't give me that worried frown. Everything will be okay from now on…"

"Sis, I hope that will be really the case."

"Hm? From the way that you talked, you are making it appear as if something bad is going to happen."

"It's not like that Sis. I just feel like… something disastrous will happen to us in the future."

"…Forget that feeling Tong'er. As long as you two are with me, no danger can approach you! Danger has to come through my dead body first before they can even touch you!"

"Sis, please don't say things like that. You sound like you are saying a death flag."

"A death flag? What's that? Is that another weapon of yours?"

"…"

RANDOM PEOPLE'S POV

"Look! There's a new trending action video on ViewCube!"

"A new trending action video! Really? It's been ages since we last saw one…"

"Ages? Didn't we watch an action video last week? How can that be ages?"

"Oi, I work in a place that regularly have its internet connection cut off, so my internet always gets interrupted there! Do you even know the pain that I feel because of that?"

"Har, har, har."

"Oi don't laugh at me. Let's just watch the video together."

"…Fine. Let's watch it in my phone. After all, mine has better quality than yours."

"I am going to ignore that insult because you are my friend."

"Well thank you for the compliment."

"…"

"…"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Damn, the video starts with an explosion? Oh my god! Did people die here?"

"Idiot! Look at where the explosion happened! It happened above the people! The explosion did not hit any people at all! It just exploded at an empty space!"

"Don't call me an idiot! Besides, even if that explosion did not hit people, look at the shockwave that it produced! That's powerful enough hurt people! Look! People are already getting flattened by it!"

"Hahaha, you really are an idiot! Look at the people below! Even if they were hit by the explosion, none of them were affected at all!"

"Wait, none? Oh right… none of them were hurt all! Wait, how could that happen! That's f**king bomb right there!"

"Hehe, look at the crowd below, what do you see?"

"I see scared people…"

"No! Aside from that!"

"Aside from that? Well… I can also see some standing people. Wait, why are they standing? Are they not scared of the blast?"

"Idiot! They're not standing because they are using their powers to protect the people below! How dumb could you be to not even think of that!"

"You're right! No, you're not right about me being an idiot. But you're right about these standing people. They look like they're using their powers to reduce the power of the explosion…"

"Haha, these standing people surely are either high-class Symbolists or Celestials. Only people like them can resist that explosion!"

"Hmm… there's 5 people that are using their powers to protect the civilians… That's actually few for an explosion this big."

"That's why I am telling you that they are strong!"

"Hmph, instead of looking at their power, why don't you look at their faces! I mean come on! All these 5 look like celebrities!"

"Really? Oh s**t! All of them look famous as f**k!"

"Hehehe, there's a cute Lolita with a pouting face, and then there's that ferocious-looking woman who looks like she will chomp you alive! Then there's a macho guy that looked like he was lifting trucks for gym! F**k, the remaining two are wearing masks! But with the clothes that they are wearing, they look fabulous!"

"You know, I am fine if I get chomped by that ferocious woman. I mean damn, look at her body! If I get squeezed by something like that to death, I am going to die happily!"

"You sure you're not talking about the macho man? He can squeeze your body real good too. And he can do it in many ways…"

"Hey! I am not a muscle fetishist like you! I have my own standards!"

"You… did you just slander the holy domain of muscles! Argh! You shall be punished for that!"

"Punish me then! I will be happy to receive your wrath!"

"Dude, you're sick as f**k. Why don't you go and visit a shrink. Maybe he can help you out."
