Endless Journey: Infinite Realms-Chapter 708 Conclusion

Chapter 708 Conclusion

"…." Alina has no inkling on what Alex could be talking about, but her intelligence was sufficient to deduce the situation, especially after she saw the reaction by the enemy Travelers.

"Judging by the way that Alex held that crystal, and the way that the enemy Travelers looked at it, that crystal is something that is important to their allied religions." Alina thought to herself as she focused her eyes on the Origin Shard.

She did not let this crystal escape from her gaze, as she did her best to unravel its mysteries. This of course did not work, as no matter how much she used her All-Seeing Eyes, all that she only saw was the crystal's ethereal form.

"Alex said that this Origin Shard is helpful in the creation or strengthening of a True God… If that was true, then it's no wonder the other enemy Travelers would want it for themselves."

"As long as they obtain that crystal for their own, they can use it to strengthen their allied religions!"

"Wait, if this crystal is that important, then why are these Travelers not stealing it from Alex?"

"Are they really just okay with letting Alex display this crystal in their faces?"

"And from the looks of it, not only does these Travelers shun the idea of getting this crystal, they are even in the midst of having a cooperative relationship!"

Alina could hardly believe the belligerent attitude shown by her enemies, and this disbelief just increased when her partner and her enemies continued conversing with each other.

Alina's eyes especially widened as she heard Alex talking about the place where he got the Origin Shard, which seems to be the line that the enemy Travelers were waiting for.

"…."

Once they heard Alex teasingly talking about this place, all the hostility that the enemy Travelers displayed were gone. They seem to be obedient kids now, all who are only interested on listening to him.

"So Alex is about to tell the enemies about the place where he got that Origin Shard. And from the looks of it, he also seems to be interested on having an alliance with them."

"Why does Alex want to have this cooperative relationship? And why did he even talk about the source of the Origin Shard to these enemies?"

"And why are these enemy Travelers even listening to Alex? Are they really serious on having a cooperative relationship with him?"

"Argh! This is confusing!"

Any signals of an impending fight might have disappeared because of Alex, but Alina's anxiousness did not disappear, especially after she saw the abnormal actions by Alex and the enemy Travelers.

Are these really the people who liked to fight when they are given the chance? Since Travelers are people who loved combat, then they should be fighting today!

Having them act this cooperative is seriously creepy, even for someone like Alina was had been used to weird stuff already.

"Tsk, what is going on here? I really don't get this at all…."

______________

While Alina was back on her confused mindset, the smug Alex and his excited enemy Travelers had no inkling of being confused at all.

They were all instead standing on their spots with gleams in their eyes, a stature that showed their excitement right now.

[That's right, y'all. I really need to form an alliance with all of you Travelers. That is the only way that all of us can get Origin Shards from that place without any fear for our lives.] Alex answered Talia's query while remaining composed under the greedy gazes of the Travelers.

[If we go to that place by ourselves, we will die quickly. So going there together will be for the best….]

\\\\\\Hoho, so my guess is indeed right. So, where is this place? Is that really where you got that Shard? You better not lie to us, or else you might face our wrath…./// Talia muttered in reply as she began glaring at Alex.

She appeared to be happy after hearing Alex's answer, but this did not wipe away her unmistakable hatred for him. Her expression only softened for a bit, although her sneer showed that she's still interested on killing Alex…

\\\\\\If you want an alliance with us, then you must be sincere enough to tell us everything. Now talk, and maybe I can forgive you for everything that you did against my sister…///

[Hey, little Talia. You don't have to be that uptight. This conversation is going under my flow, so let me do the talking ok? Don't be impatient, as I will reveal all that you want….]

\\\\Tsk, just hurry up, Abyss Envoy. My sister might be patient with you, but that does not mean I am as forgiving as her….////

[….]

Talia and the other Travelers felt satisfied with what Alex was saying, but it was obvious that they still did not accept Alex's offer for an alliance.

How could these Travelers accept it easily, when Alex is still not talking about the source of the Origin Shard? Only an idiot would accept an alliance this time, and Alex perfectly knew that.

[The place where I obtained this Origin Shard is a place that all of you should know. In fact, all your allied religions know this place too.] With one of his hands busy placing the Origin Shard back on his pocket, Alex gave this easy-going reply towards his 'allies'. [Oh, and if you ask your allied religions about this place, they will surely give you an answer….]

[But seeing that you don't know where I got this Origin Shard, it means that you have not asked your allied religions about this place.]

[Since that's the case, then I might as well tell it to y-.]

||Quit dragging your words human and just get straight to the point. Hearing you blab useless drivel like this is already making me crazy.||

Alex looked like he was about to drag the conversation for longer again, which forced Iskanor to stop him from playing around.

|| If this is how you talk in your partial corrupted state, then I shudder to know what happens once you've been fully corrupted by the Abyss… Tsk, if it weren't for the Main Mission, I, Iskanor, won't be in this place hearing garbage from someone like you. ||

||Ugh, why don't you just talk so that we can be done here? Seeing you is just a w-||

[Okay, the place that I am talking about is the Ancestral Tomb. Now that you heard it, go back to your allied religions and discuss what you plan to do next.]

||-aste of time. What? What did you say, human?|| Iskanor was in his full-insult mode, but he found himself stopping as he heard what Alex just said. ||Did you just seriously say the place while I am talking? You're rude! This kind of rudeness to me cannot be tolerated anymore! I Must-||

[Iskanor, I said… that the place where I obtained this Origin Shard is from the Ancestral Tomb. Now that you heard it, you can go back to your allied religions already.] Alex just repeated the words that he said, with him ignoring the fuming Soul Warlock.

||You!!!||

The way that Alex said these words were so dismissive that it did not only render Iskanor angry. It also made the other Travelers pissed at Alex again, although there was something else on what he said that made them angrier.

\u003cWhat do you mean that the Origin Shard came from the Ancestral Tomb? Is that the true place? Even I do not have any idea about this so-called Ancestral Tomb. Are you sure that you are telling the truth?\u003e The imperial Shi Xingyun snarled as her face wore a look of defiance.

This woman did not seem to be that offended by what Alex said, but she also appeared to not believe what he said either.

\u003cAnd you said that our allied religions know about this 'Ancestral Tomb'? How are we sure that you are not lying here?\u003e

--Human, even a noble fairy like me have never heard about this 'Ancestral Tomb' in my whole life. Are you serious on talking about this?— The fairy Overron chimed in too, and he displayed the same level of disbelief as Shi Xingyun.

[….]

The other remaining Travelers, Talia and Iskanor, did not say anything else at this time, but they also gave Alex distrusting looks too.

[….]

And the distrust on their faces was so much, that the nearby Alina felt that the somewhat peaceful situation might turn chaotic again.

Fortunately for her, this fearful situation did not occur.

___________

\u003c\u003cWhat? What do you mean that it exists? And how did you hear this conversation that we are having? Great Priest, are you snooping in on us?\u003e\u003e

The first person to break the tense atmosphere was Talia, who suddenly began talking to herself in a harsh tone.

She seemed to be pissed about something, and the context of her words made it more obvious.

\u003c\u003cHa? What do you mean you are looking out for my safety, Great Priest? Didn't I tell you that you cannot spy me all the time? Seriously, this is too creepy!\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003cHah? You said that what you did was right? Tsk, f**k you and your principles! If I said that I want to be alone, then I want to be alone! Can't you just understand that?\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003cArgh! Your words makes me want to just pummel you to death!\u003e\u003e

By this point, everyone who heard Talia had already realized who she was talking to.

She was undoubtedly talking to a priest from her allied religion, who seemed to choose this moment to talk to her.

With this kind of rude interruption from this priest, it was no wonder that Talia could get pissed.

\u003c\u003cArgh! Once I go back there Great Priest, I will- wait, you know what the 'Ancestral Tomb' is? That place really exists?\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003c….\u003e\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003c…\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003c….\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003c\u003cTsk, I see. I see. So what do I have to do now?\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003c\u003c….\u003e\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003c\u003c….\u003e\u003e\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003c\u003cUgh, so it all boils down to that? Tsk, this really sucks!\u003e\u003e\u003e

Surprisingly, the conversation between Talia and her allied religion actually went towards talking about the 'Ancestral Tomb'.

Everyone who heard this naturally perked up, but before they could hear more, Talia had bizarrely ended the conversation.

\u003c\u003cAlex of the Abyss. You are lucky that you held such advantage with you today. But don't think that you can stay that way forever. After we team up at the Ancestral Tomb, I will be the first one to kill you.\u003e\u003e\u003e

\u003c\u003cSo don't be complacent about allying with me. Once we're done with the 'Ancestral Tomb', I will not consider all your help to me.\u003e\u003e

After she said this bizarre message to Alex, Talia's body suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, and before they could know it, the presence of her body had also disappeared.

She seemed to be not in this place anymore, as if she had really left.

"???" Seeing this scene confounded the already confused Alina, but before she could look deeply into this, the other Travelers began to receive messages from their allied religions too.

||What is it now, you vile impostors? What do you- s**t, you also know about the 'Ancestral Tomb'?||

\\\\\\The heck? You have knowledge about the Ancestral Tomb too? Why are you just telling it to me now?///

----I can't believe that you did not talk about this 'Ancestral Tomb' to me. This is making me disappointed to you, Elder Druid….----

"???"

Once all these messages have been received, these three remaining Travelers seemed to have forgotten their intention to lynch Alex.

Instead of staying in this place for longer, these 3 Travelers had also left this place in a haste.

"…"

All that was left behind were Alina and Alex, both who floated in their spots with wry expressions on their faces. Behind them were Professor Frances and Queen Mother, who both looked like they could not fathom what had just happened.

"What the hell is this about."
