Chapter 272 All the Fighters are Here!
"You say that we need to wake this Demon up, yet you also say that this Demon is dangerous." Delia said as she gave the angle a narrowed stare. "Do you really expect me to just wake this creature up? You know that I am the current Envoy of the Holy Order Plane. As such, I can feel the compulsion to end this Demon’s life right now. Why should we even give this Demon a chance to fight back when we can just kill him now?
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cENVOY, IF WE KILL THIS DEMON RIGHT NOW, I WON’T BE ABLE TO CONSUME ANY POWER THAT HE HAS\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e The angel replied as she shook her head.
"What do you mean by that?"
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cENVOY, ASIDE FROM BEING STUCK IN A LIMBO, THIS DEMON RIGHT HERE... HAS ALL OF HIS POWERS STRIPPED AWAY.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e The angel said as she stared at the red hand intently. \\u003c\\u003c\\u003cUNLIKE THE OTHER THREE PRISONERS, THIS DEMON HAS NONE OF HIS POWERS LEFT. THE ENTIRETY OF HIS POWER... MUST HAVE BEEN GIVEN OUT TO THE RED MOON POWER RECIPIENTS. WITH THAT AND THE STATE THAT HE IS IN NOW, THIS DEMON RIGHT IN FRONT OF US HAD NO POWERS AT ALL\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
"And you think waking him out of the Limbo will allow him to get some of his powers back? That’s a far-shot conclusion that you have right there."
Needless to say, Delia did not fully believe what the angel just said.
If this Demon really had no powers right now, what guarantee does the angel have that this Demon will gain a little of his power when he wakes up?
And there is also the fact that out of all the Prisoners in the Moons, it was only this Demon that was in Limbo. That in itself was suspicious already, and Delia could not help but feel wary of letting this Demon even regain the ability to move.
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cENVOY, WE WILL NEVER KNOW IT UNTIL WE TRY....\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
"Hmph, and you think I am just going to allow you to do this immediately? You got some gall, saying things like this to me-"
The argument between Delia and the angel was interrupted as a small creature suddenly flew between them.
Both Delia and the angel stopped talking as they stared at the small creature with seriousness on their eyes.
This small creature was the same size as Asteria, although the wings of this creature was transparent.
This creature had rainbow-colored hair, coupled with a green dress which complemented the creature’s thin and graceful body.
This creature had a mischievous look on her face, something which looked more cruel compared to Asteria’s playful mischievousness.
The overall demeanor that the creature was letting out was comparable to that of an evil trickster, something which both Delia and the angel seemed to know and was wary of.
"Celeste, is there anything that you want to say now?" Delia said as she talked towards the small creature. "From what I know, pixies like you only get out to share important info, right? Do you intend to say something like that now?"
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cHmph hooman, of course I have some important news for you. Why would I even get out from my bed? Do you think I will just come out to demand some coins? I’m nothing like that!\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
The voice that came out of the pixie as she replied was high-pitched and sharp, forcing Delia and Tong’er to wince slightly. The pixie seemed to have ignored this as she continued on talking.
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cWhat I want to tell you was related to the mission. You know, about the real stuff that we should do...\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
"Please stop making those snide comments. You know that I am trying my best to discover the truth behind the Calamity and all these power recipients." Delia replied wearily as she glared at the pixie. "But Celeste, you know that we just got more questions than answers when we came here. For us to get the truth quickly... will be harder than what we expected."
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cPSh, of course it will be hard. It is the Main Mission after all.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e Celeste replied as she let out a short laugh. \\u003c\\u003c\\u003cBut I know that as long as we defeat the other Moon Prisoners and assimilate them with our angel, we will be able to know the truth.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
"That’s hard to do Celeste. You should have seen what happened when we sent out triplicates on the other moons. Those people... we now saw that their strength really deserves some respect."
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cFine, fine, I get it. But I am not here to talk about the Main Mission.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e Celeste suddenly said as she shook her head. \\u003c\\u003c\\u003c I am here to talk about the Bonus Mission.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
"The Bonus Mission? There’s two of them, right? Which one are you talking about?"
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cHooman, I am referring to the bonus mission related to destroying the moons.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e Celeste replied as a rare heavy expression appeared on her face. \\u003c\\u003c\\u003cSomeone... had succeeded on destroying a moon.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
"Wait what? Are you sure about that?"
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cDelia, I am a Guide. I receive notifications about this. So don’t doubt what I just said.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
"But-"
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cTRAVELER ALEX SUCCESSFULLY DESTROYED THE GREEN MOON. 150 YEARS LIFESPAN REWARDED TO HIM.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e Celeste said in a cold voice, effectively shutting down any argument that Delia have.
"That guy destroyed the Green Moon? I admit that his abilities were a good counter against our angel, but that does not mean that he can just easily destroy a moon, especially the Green Moon! Those people in the Green Moon... I am sure they are powerful enough to protect that moon! There’s no way they can just allow something like this to happen!"
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cWell hooman, that is exactly what had happened. You have no choice but to accept it now.\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e Celeste replied as she shrugged her shoulders. \\u003c\\u003c\\u003cWhat you have to do right now is to think about the consequences of this. Especially now that we are in a different moon...\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
"Are you telling me that this Traveler Alex will attack theYellow Moon next?" Delia replied as her eyes suddenly widened in panic. "F**k! This is not good at all!"
\\u003c\\u003c\\u003cBecause you thought that those people at the Yellow and Green Moon were not that strong enough to destroy our moon, you decided to depart the Yellow Moon and just leave our triplicates on the Yellow Moon. You did all of that just for the chance to go here at the Red Moon.\\u003e\\u003e Celeste said as she smirked at Delia. \\u003c\\u003c\\u003cNow, that maneuver did not turn out any good for you, right?\\u003e\\u003e\\u003e
At first, Delia seemed to deflate as she heard Celeste’s stinging words. But that deflation only lasted for a second before a determined expression appeared on her face.
"You may be right. I have left the Yellow Moon defenseless against Alex. But that does not mean that he will succeed on destroying it!" Delia suddenly said as her eyes began to blaze red.
She then stared at the little boy, who seemed to be zoning out right now.
Delia snapped her fingers in front of the boy’s face, making him focus his attention back to her.
"Milo, command our triplicates to intercept Traveler Alex in space." Delia said in an authoritative tone as she stared at Milo. "Tell our triplicates to do their best to slow Traveler Alex down. The longer that Traveler Alex stays in space, the better it will be for us! Do you understand that, Milo?"
"Yes, Big Sis, I understand it..." Milo replied in a meek voice as he gave Delia a small nod. "I shall command them now..."
"That’s my boy!" Delia happily said as he brushed Milo’s head. "I knew I can count on you here!"
Milo did not reject what Delia was doing, and he actually seemed to be happy getting his hair tousled.
Milo only recoiled back when he saw Delia’s tongue reaching for his cheek.
"Big Sis! Please don’t lick me!" Milo hastily said as he backed away from Delia. "I don’t... like it."
"....Hmph, I just licked you once before, and after that you always hated it? Do you know how many people begged for me to lick them? A lot." Delia muttered to herself as a disappointed expression appeared on her face. "Milo, can’t you feel the euphoria of my tongue trailing all over your skin? You don’t feel any pleasure from that?"
"Big Sis, please no more."
"....Okay."
With this harsh rejection from Milo, Delia was forced to place her tongue back inside her mouth.
Delia, still wearing a disappointed look on her face, then looked at Tong’er and at the angel.
"While our triplicates are delaying Traveler Alex, we on the other hand will destroy the Red Moon right now." Delia said as she stomped her foot on the ground. "With the numbers that we have here, I am sure that we can destroy the Red Moon! And then, after we destroy this Red Moon, we will rush towards Traveler Alex and attack him!"
"Oi Delia! Do you understand what you are saying?" Tong’er blurted out before Delia could continue talking. "You want us to destroy this Moon, and then you want us to protect the Yellow Moon and attack Traveler Alex? Do you think we have the enough power to do that?"
"Hmph, I know that what I am doing right now is risky, but we have no choice but to do this!" Delia hissed as she glared at Tong’er. "I am not sure why, but something has definitely happened with Alex, which made him suddenly more powerful. Him destroying the Green Moon right now is the proof of that."
"Delia, if you know that Traveler Alex is stronger now, then why do you insist on fighting him? We can just use guerilla tactics to whittle him down, right?"
"Tong’er, if we do not attack Traveler Alex right now, he and his Symbolist Troops might just get stronger." Delia said as she shook her head. "I am sure that with the 150 years of lifespan that he just obtained, Alex will find ways to strengthen himself and his Symbolist Troops. If we let him destroy the Yellow Moon next, he will just get stronger! We... we cannot allow that to happen!"
"..."
Tong’er looked like she wanted to say something more, but the logic in Delia’s words were enough to make her quiet.
Upon seeing Tong’er’s silence, Delia knew that she got her agreeing with the plan.
Now, all that was left for Delia to do was to convince angel to kill the Demon now.
But before Delia could talk to the angel, a powerful fluctuation made her stop on her tracks.
"What the?" Delia looked up to see the source of the fluctuation, and there she saw a sight that made her eyes go wide.
The skies above the Red Moon started to twist and turn, as if there was something that forcefully mashed the space above them.
Delia and the others were too familiar with what they are seeing right now, as this was similar to the spatial fluctuation that brought them from the Arena towards the Yellow Moon!
The appearance of this spatial fluctuation in this place made Delia extremely nervous, as there could only be one reason for this fluctuation to be here.
This phenomenon lasted for about a minute, and it only stopped when four figures shot out of the spatial fluctuation.
Delia could hardly believe what she just saw, especially when she saw the faces of the new arrivals.
The notorious Grand Symbolist, the noble Grand Celestial, and the terrifying Grand Devourer all came out of the spatial fluctuation, along with a red-skinned humanoid!
All four of them landed on the ground gracefully, with no signs of the fall affecting them.
As Delia and her allies reeled from the sudden appearance of new visitors, the red-skinned humanoid started to laugh, with his eyes looking right at the massive Red Hand.
"Hahaha! So my True Body was revealed already. Good thing I came here just on time." The red-skinned humanoid said as he let out a laugh. "I was actually planning on digging it out by myself, but your efforts made it easier for me! Hahaha! For that, I thank you all."
"..."
"Well, why are you so serious? Is this the first time you have seen someone like me? That just makes me sad..." The red-skinned humanoid said as he let out a sigh. "Well, don’t worry you all. If you are disappointed in me, then I shall wear an appearance that is more appropriate for this occasion!"
The red-skinned humanoid then waved his right hand, with his left hand pointing directly at the massive Red Hand.
"Boom!" Once the red-skinned humanoid adopted this posture, the whole Red Moon rumbled, as the Red Hand, which was stationary earlier, suddenly started to move!
The fingers started to curl on themselves while the symbols engraved on the hand let out a demonic shine!
Everyone on the Red Moon stared at the Red Hand with surprise as they tried to fathom what was happening right now.
"Come thee and awaken." The red-skinned humanoid chanted as he began to float in the air. "I implore you to open your doors for this Majesty’s divine mind!"
