Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 285 Hey! Please be gentle to me! This body is holy!

In Alina’a eyes, everything that she can see below her were just a one big clusterf**k.

With her powerful eyes, Alina could see every single person that are fighting each other right now, and the sight that she saw did not make her confident.

After all, Alina could see 14 people fighting each other intensely right now!

And yes, it was these 14 people that are causing all the damages all around the area.

"..." Alina could only stay quiet as she started to identify each one of these 14 fighting people.

There’s Emperor Litch, whose whole body was filled with cuts and gashes. He was bleeding profusely, although the delighted expression on his face tells that he was not that worried at all about himself.

Around his body, the seven Abyss Sprites could be seen, firing off every possible spell that they can fire, while Emperor Litch fired off his own spells to. Alina also saw the Emperor wielding a golden sword, which he used to both defend and attack himself.

There seem to be 3 people that are assisting Emperor Litch right now, which was evident from the way that they protectively hovered around the Emperor.

With a jolt, Alina realized that she actually knew these 3 people allied with Emperor Litch!

A nerdy guy who was throwing out explosives while cackling, a beautiful woman whose casually whipping out powerful martial arts, and a small girl whose body was constantly appearing and disappearing out of the battlefield.

These 3 people, who were ssisting Emperor Litch right now, were undoubtedly the Traveler Team that was affiliated with the Devourers!

As she saw these 4 people working together, Alina could only feel confusion as she thought to herself,

"Why are they all working together? Didn’t Emperor Litch destroy the Green Moon? Why would they then help him?"

Before Alina could continue musing about this anomaly, she shook her head as she continued on observing the other fighters.

At the left side of Alina’s vision, Alina could see another Traveler Team, which was the one affiliated with the Celestials.

Alina saw the kimono woman, who was wielding a spear, along the bratty teenager who was throwing what looked like talismans all around her. There was also a little boy who was riding on the bratty teenager’s shoulders, with his eyes closed, as if he was in deep concentration.

Altogether, these three people were letting out their own powerful attacks, with the kimono woman pumping out dangerous-looking abilities from her spear, and the bratty teenager summoning what looked like to be malevolent spirits.

As for the little boy, he has a join in the fight too, as he would casually tap the kimono woman and the bratty teenager, which produces triplicate out of these two!

These triplicates would join in the fight, using abilities that are similar to the kimono woman’s and the bratty teenager’s.

When these triplicates were destroyed by a sudden attack, the little boy will just make another set of triplicates, which in turn stabilizes the fighting force of their team.

"Impressive." Alina thought as she stared at this Traveler Team. "By using the little boy’s ability to triplicate, this Team was able to resist their opponents, while also dealing their own damage too...."

After observing this Team, Alina focused her attention on the last group that was embroiled in the combat.

"Weird... why do I smell dad here?" Astria suddenly muttered behind Alina as the former tilted her head.

"It’s because your dad is here." Alina replied as she pointed at the last group that she was observing.

"Mh dad is here? But-"

"THe Grand Symbolist is definitely here." Alina firmly said as she stared at the ensuing fight below her.

"But how could that be? Dad... he should be at my home planet!"

"That’s what I thought so too." Alina thought grimly as she took a deep breath. "But from the looks of it, it seems like there is a conspiracy that just happened under our noses."

"..."

When Alina observed this last group, to her surprise, she realized that one of their members was actually the Grand Symbolist!

Not only that, but the other two members of these group were actually the Grand Devourer and the Grand Celestial, whose face Alina knew from their spies.

Leading this group was a red-skinned demon-like person, whose whole body was letting out an extremely dangerous aura.

Right now, all these 4 were working together, with the Grand Symbolist unleashing his powerful symbols, the Grand Celestial manifesting all of his powerful constellations, the Grand Devourer using her body to manifest supernatural abilities, and the demon summoning numerous weapons while wielding a massive red tower!

The cooperation between these 4 were so intricate and orderly that Alina could only feel shivers as she watched them fight.

"Why... why are the leaders of the Three Factions are here? And why are they following that demon?" Alina thought to herself as she cupped her chin. "Hmm... that demon... he exudes a feeling that is similar to Alex and that kimono woman. Does that mean that this demon is the Traveler Malthus that we heard earlier?"

As Alina reached this conclusion, she let out the breath that she was holding in as she forced her body to relax.

She forced her mind to be serene as she thought of the current scenario.

"Right now, fourteen people divided into 3 teams are fighting each other." Alina thought to herself as she bit her lip. ’"Because all of them were powerful and cunning, their fight is still in stalemate. All of them had suffered numerous injuries, but none of them were either killed or incapacitated yet!"

For Alina, this is certainly impressive, as she knew that a fight with this many people should already have produced some kind of casualties. Yet with the way that these people fought, none of that has happened yet!

"Impressive. These people are all skilled fighters...." Alina thought to herself as she grabbed the hilt of her katana.

A few seconds later, and a grin appeared on her face, as she realized that the current state of the fight below is actually favorable for her!

"Since all of them are in a balanced situation, our plan to save Alex could be applied here!" Alina muttered to herself as fighting intent appeared on her eyes. Inside her eyes were also hope, which blossomed more as she became more and more confident about their current situation.

"Yes, as long as the status quo here stays the same, we can definitely pull this off!"

Now that she was sure that they can proceed, Alina slapped her cheeks lightly as she talked to her allies.

"Professor Frances, have you finished doing it?" Alina said as she spun her head at Professor Frances’ direction. "And did you do it properly?"

Professor Frances, who was looking extremely pale and sick, only gave Alina an aggrieved look as she said,

"I already finished it before we left. And don’t worry about its f***ing quality. I am Professor Frances, the greatest bio-shaper in history! Urgk!" The professor then started to dry heave as she covered her mouth. "F**k, out of all the enhancements that I did on this body, I forgot to add an anti-nausea enhancement. Dammit!"

"Okay, okay. I get it, you are really great. So umm... just do your best to recover quickly now." Alina muttered as she shook her head. She then looked at Queen Mother, who gave Alina a determined nod.

Alina did not ask her question at Queen Mother anymore, as she saw that Queen Mother was prepared to fight right now.

Alina then looked at Astria and the Symbolists, who were slowly recovering from their sickening journey.

Upon seeing that everything is now prepared, Alina slowly unsheathed her katana as she pointed it in front of her.

She shuddered as she adjusted her power to its peak.

Black threads uncoiled out of her body as the space around her began to warp.

Everyone who was behind Alina started to act up too, as they all activated their abilities.

Alina ignored all these happenings behind her as she thought to herself,

"Alex, just wait for a few more minutes... Trust me, we will save you!"

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

Emperor Litch was delighted right now.

After all, he’s having a blood pumping fight with his life on the line!

"Hahahaha! It’s been hundreds of years since I have to fight for my life this way!" Emperor Litch thought to himself as he swung his left hand, blocking the incinerating punch released by the Grand Devourer.

Emperor Litch was unable to fully block this punch, as a portion of it went through his defense.

"Puchi!"

5 large gashes appeared on the Emperor’s chest, which forced the Emperor to spit out some blood.

"Hahaha! Now this is how a fight should have been done!" Emperor Litch thought as he shot out golden lightning from his eyes. "Everything must be placed at stake right now!"

"Boom!"

This golden lightning hit the Grand Devourer, the kimono woman, and the demon head-on, making all three of them grunt in pain.

Their faces turned pale for a second before they gritted their teeth to recover.

"Hmph, so you guys are really tough! I should have expected this!" Emperor Litch then swung his golden sword as he lopped of the Grand Devourer’s head.

"Spurt!"

The Grand Devourer’s head flew up high in the air as Emperor Litch managed to cut her head off. But just a second later, a new head popped out of Grand Devourer’s neck, making Emperor Litch click his mouth in disappointment.

"Tsk, this is the 4th time I cut this woman’s head off. When will she f**king stop regenerating?" The Emperor thought to himself as he gritted his teeth.

He then looked at Ray and Noelle, who were busy facing the Grand Celestial and the kimono woman.

Explosions rang all around them as they exchanged attacks, making even Emperor Litch sweat a little.

Emperor Litch’s eyes narrowed while watching all the other fights around him as he realized one thing.

"We are in a stalemate right now!" Emperor Litch thought to himself as he sent his Blue Gravity Waves towards the demon and the Grand Symbolist.

Both were unable to dodge this attack, with their faces grimacing as injuries multiplied inside their bodies.

Emperor Litch then pressed on with his attacks while thinking to himself,

"With the way that everyone here is fighting, it might take a long time to see the winner. Of course I am game for that, but fighting for that long could be dangerous for me. What if some other combatants suddenly sneak in here? Won’t that make things worse, especially if those combatants decide to target me?"

Emperor Litch’s happiness fell by a bit, as he was legitimately worried about someone suddenly making a sneak attack right now.

As he thought of this, he decided to activate Vessel 969’s Esper Power to scan the his surroundings.

But before he could start doing this, his whole body tensed as he sensed danger coming to him from above!

The Emperor tried to dodge, but before he could do so, he found his whole body suddenly wrapped by thorny red vines.

As the pain of these thorns slowed him down, Emperor Litch could only watch as a massive dimensional distortion hit him square on his chest.

"Gah!"

This time around, Emperor Litch spat out more blood, as his injuries just worsened!

Two more dimensional distortions hit the Emperor on his head and torso, making the Emperor spit out more blood.

"Boom!" The Emperor then crashed on one of the nearby floating lands, as the impact of the attacks that he received had forced him to be flung this far.

"What the...." Emperor Litch thought to himself as he ripped off the vines covering his body. "Who the hell is that?"

His face was slightly pale as used his power to accelerate his body’s healing speed.

He stood up shakily from his spot as he tried to look for the one who had sneaked attack him.

It did not take the Emperor that long to look for the culprit, as he saw two people rushing towards him!

As he saw who his new attackers were, Emperor Litch could only look at them in confusion as he said,

"How, how could you be this brazen? Why are you attacking me? Don’t you know that this body is still Vessel 969’s body?"

The ones who just attacked Emperor Litch were Alina and Queen Mother.

Emperor Litch could hardly believe that these two actually attacked him, since from what he can remember, these two women were Vessel 969’s allies!

Heck, Alina was even Vessel 969’s lover!

"Th- th- there is something wrong right now! These women should not be acting this way!"

Ever since he has possessed Vessel 969, Emperor Litch already knew that Vessel 969’s allies will surely do something to free Vessel 969.

Emperor Litch had no qualms about that, as he was confident that he can thwart any of their attempts.

But right now, that confidence was replaced by the confusion, as Emperor Litch witnessed both Alina and Queen Mother attacking him with an intent to destroy him and his current body!

"Why are you like this now? Are you all out of your minds already?"
