Endless Journey: Infinite Realms
/ Endless Journey: Infinite Realms 564 Elder Sister and Junior Brother
As Alex's eyes adjusted to the light from the real world, his ears suddenly heard the voice of the Immortal Empress, who at this point, sounded pretty much subdued compared to her previous sound earlier.
She did not raise her voice as she spoke to Alex, as if she was afraid of startling him. She also gave Alex a curious look while tilting her head, making her look like a doting elder sister.
Hm? Is there a problem, Junior Brother? You seem…. To be out of it.
"You're asking me if I am out of it? Immortal Empress, do you know what had just happened to me? My mind was forcefully crammed with memories, and I was forced to dream some of them! Do you really think that I can just be unscathed after that? Immortal Empress, even someone like you could be rattled too!" Alex said these words with an unmistakable anger, with all of his ire focused on the Immortal Empress alone.
Even if the Immortal Empress still appeared imposing in her current state, Alex did not let himself cower in front of her. His anger against her right now seemed to be so great, that Alex had seemingly forgotten about how dangerous she is.
How could Alex not get angry now? Just by judging the Immortal Empress' words, Alex had already made the connection between her and his dreams.
All the dreams that Alex had seen earlier were obviously related to the Immortal Empress, and her arrival today must so be related to the sudden appearance of those foreign memories!
That should be the only reason why the Immortal Empress was here in this place. She must have a plan related to Alex's dreams, which led to him becoming like this…
With such kind of hidden business in play, anyone can lose their goodwill to the Immortal Empress, especially Alex, who was the 'main victim' here.
"Hmph, so is this the reason why you came here then, Immortal Empress? It was all for the matter of your Master's Legacy?" Alex added, with his now fully awake body standing upright. After standing up, Alex turned his head to the Immortal Empress, before sending her an unwelcome glare. "Hmph, if this is the case, Immortal Empress, then you are free to-"
Junior Brother, you received the Legacy of my Master, which she only gives to those who reached the Third Stage with her Duality Cultivation Method. I also experienced the same thing before, so don't say that I am taking advantage of you. The Immortal Empress did not let Alex continue his angry tirade at this point, with her quick answer drowning his words. She seemed to be unflustered by Alex's anger too, as she just ignored his flushed face while she continued talking.
I also have the same set of Legacy just like you, so don't think that I am here to steal yours. Instead, I came here in order to help you out. The Immortal Empress muttered with irritation as she twirled her hair. She then tucked her hair behind her ears, creating a maiden-like aura around her.
Junior Brother Alex… We have the same master right now, which means that you are my responsibility. If you think that I am here to harm you, please don't think of that. If I really try to harm you, our Master might strike me down at this moment…
The Immortal Empress just let out a tired smile at this point, with the mention of her master seemingly eliciting an exasperated reaction from her.
Although with the way that Master has been idle, maybe even her punishment will come late too…
"…"
After giving out these answers, the Immortal Empress continued to spew out more of her explanations to Alex, although these following explanations were just the extensions of what she had already said.
Blab la bla, blab la bla…
"…."
Blab la bla, blab la bla…
"…."
Blab la bla, blab la bla…
"…."
****************
Even if Alex was mightily angry from the suffering that he just had, the benefits that he gained from the dreams were enough to restrain him from lashing out to anyone. After all, it is really hard to get angry to something, especially when it has helped you out in some way.(Even if pain was involved)
But aside from making himself calm, the benefits that Alex had gained also made him feel curious about the Immortal Empress, who had been claiming that she was related to the memories that were crammed in him.
For a woman like her to say something like this upfront to Alex is a bold move to make, especially when Alex is still angry. Why would she say something like this so calmly, and is she even telling the truth anyway?
***************
With Alex's power already reaching that of the Sixth Stage in multiple power systems, he was already extremely fine-tuned on detecting sincerity from anyone.
From his emotion manipulation power of the Abyss Magic System, and his enhanced soul sensitivity of his Esper Ability, Alex already had a great ability on knowing if someone is lying to him or not.
Granted, this ability is still not as accurate compared to Alina's All-Seeing Eye, but for someone like Alex, this ability is already enough. Case in point, he was using this ability now in order to see if the Immortal Empress was telling the truth.
"Hong hong hong…"
From the wavelengths emanating out of her body, and the way that her emotions stirred with each of her words, Alex was able to take them all in and analyze them as a whole.
The result? Alex can say that the Immortal Empress were saying the truth 80% of the time.
With the value of 80%, it is safe to assume that the Immortal Empress was being truthful. Of course it is inevitable for her answers to be mixed with some lies, but Alex was already expecting it.
As long as the main crux of the Immortal Empress words remains true, then Alex will accept it. As for the minor lies, Alex will have time to detect it in the future….
With that result in mind, the only thing that Alex can do now is to continue mingling with the Immortal Empress, in hopes of getting more clues from her mixed words…
**************
"Okay, I get already, Immortal Empress. We have the same master, and you came here today in order to help me out. I now know that, so just stop talking." With the words uttered by the Immortal Empress starting to get repetitive already, the still-pissed Alex let out a sigh before stopping her. "If I hear any more of your words, Elder Sister, then I might flip off."
Hoho, you seem to be quick on the uptake, Junior Brother. You're already calling me Elder Sister this early? Hehe, that's good, that's good! You really are suited to be my Junior! Instead of getting angry from Alex's rebuke, the Immortal Empress seemed to be actually pleased with his reply, especially when the words 'Elder Sister' has come out of his mouth. Even if I did not show you any evidence that proves my claim, you already believe me? Junior Brother, I really like that attitude of yours!
"Elder Sister… By looking at my situation logically, your words could be seen as true, hence my current treatment of you. However, even if the circumstances say that you are telling the truth, that does not mean that I really believe all of this." Alex quickly said, which seemed to have slightly dampened the Immortal Empress' mood. "If you want to me really believe this, then show me a concrete evidence."
You want a concrete evidence? Hmm… does showing Master to you counts? The Immortal Empress quickly replied with a smile. There was a hint of mischief in her face as she said this, which prompted Alex to begin feeling weird. If Master were to show herself here, then you might be really convinced….
"Hold up. You said that you want to show your Master to me? Your Master is Fang Yu, who's at the Ninth Stage, right? How the hell can she come here then? This is a Peak Sixth Stage Planet for goodness' sake!" Alex shouted out in reply as he almost jumped from his seat. "If she comes here, we could be f**ked!"
