At the Aldridge Empire’s seaside resort, Oldrango City’s coastal area, the oceans near Alan Island. Bella’s fleet had finally re-entered the timeline of 1,300 years later. After the white fog dissipated, the fleet was stopped at its original location as it was presently noon. Everything that happened last night was just like a dream. Fortunately, the Dimensional Creators were still here, seemingly to testify the authenticity of their recent travel in time.
Creator of Light Vianne and the others had simply decided to join Bella’s fleet as a break to relax. Bella quietly logged into the Savior System as the thirteen Fates were still there in her Friends List. Other than the mysterious Thirteenth Fate, who was offline, the rest were online. Due to the change in the timeline, Bella could not recall for a moment how she added the thirteenth Fate.
In addition to the Fates, Bella also got a set of equipment to communicate with the God of Creation. It was a strange mirror that she could use to connect directly with the God of Creation. The God of Creation’s status was also online currently. She seemed to be around all the time, but her status had always shown her being busy. It was busy work being a God of Creation. She basically spent each day out and about settling dimension-related errands.
So, Bella didn’t disturb her. She had her contact information anyway, and that was all that mattered. Even though Bella had some bold ideas, now was not the time to push down the God of Creation. She roughly checked on some information on the Savior’s chatting platform to confirm that the system-type Saviors around Alan Island were back. Everything should have gone back to normal. However, the system-type Saviors didn’t seem to remember themselves warping back in time at all. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢
Other than the people on Bella’s fleet, the others who experienced the Time Warp basically didn’t remember anything about it. Who knew how the God of Creation did this. The people on Alan Island were also warped when they were caught in the white fog. The only ones who did not warp back in time were those from the Alessandra Academy and the Antoinette Academy’s ships. Due to mysterious hidden existences in their ships, they could avoid being pulled into the Time Warp. They were only surrounded by the fog for one night. Nothing happened to them at all.
Currently, the Twelve Academies Exchange Tournament was going to begin on the next day, but Bella wasn’t really interested in it. She was mainly participating as a substitute this time. Unless a very powerful existence popped up, Bella wouldn’t even bother to make an appearance. Without counting Bella, Kriss, and the others, there were still God Chosen Knight Scott and the other Saviors in the Olsylvia Academy. There were also the four old and new Demon Kings, including Sky Demon King Dolores and the others who had signed up as external aid for fun, and also Creator of Light Vianne and the Creators who also signed up out of boredom.
Even if the other academies had system-type Saviors, their cheat level still couldn’t compare to that of the Olsylvia Academy with Demon Kings and Creators on the benches. The current Olsylvia Academy was a mixture of Saviors, Creators, World Destructors, Chaos Bringers, as well as a variety of forces. Just the level of cheats alone was already way more perverse than anything the other academies had.
The current Alan Island was still that Phantom Island in disguise. Bella didn’t change too much of the world line during the time travel, so the Bridges Kingdom’s descendants did not stop trying to restore the kingdom. Only the leaders had changed. According to the information given by the God of Creation, the leader of the restoration movement had changed from Last Princess Brehanna to Last Prince Brizig.
Last Princess Brehanna failed to complete her heaven-defying attempt at changing the world line and was now put under the God of Creation’s observation. After a while, she would be sent back to Bella for her to decide her fate. Right now, Bella was hanging out with Kriss and Mage Princess Ariel at Alan Island while they looked for information about a good place for a holiday stay.
The main reason Bella came to participate in the Twelve Academies Exchange Tournament was that she was chasing after the summer beach swimsuit eye candy. The rest were all hypocritical lies. Right now, other than the Sainsbury Academy (Archer Academy), Augustus Academy (Alchemy and Engineering Academy), and Elitechra Academy (Warrior Academy) that Bella hadn’t found an opportunity to invade, the high-ranking student union members of the other Twelve Academies of the Human race had already fallen under Bella’s control, so it wasn’t difficult to promote summertime swimsuits.
It was indeed difficult to find a suitable vacation beach spot. The nuclear explosion from over 1,300 years ago had already destroyed all traces of modernity left on Alan Island. Simultaneously, both the Mechanic and the Dark Conjurer, the last genuine Saviors, also met their demise in the explosion with their bodies nowhere to be found. Anyway, there was no changing their fates of becoming Grudges. The beach was also leveled to the ground during the explosion, so it was difficult to find.
Bella and the girls were currently enjoying themselves at Alan Island’s Ota Town. Many tourists could be found in this resort town in addition to the students from the Twelve Academies. The town had also significantly changed. You could no longer see the Bridges Kingdom’s capital that was here over a thousand years ago. All traces of Aucklands had disappeared. Since Alan Island was considered a tourist island, the goods sold here were mostly sea products such as pearls, corals, and such. Except, the prices were a little unscrupulous.
“Pearls on sale! These beauties arrived just last week! Buy one, get one free. String starts from a thousand gold coins!”
“Crystal corals! These are the real deal! If you find a fake, we’ll offer ten more as compensation! Buy two, get one free, starting price from two thousand gold coins apiece!”
Bella looked through the goods sold at the stalls without much interest. She had seen plenty of pearls in her life, and she had tons of the most precious luminous pearls. As for the Crystal Corals, Bella had also gotten sick of looking at the Crimson Corals that were even more expensive than them and was naturally uninterested. After pushing down the Manasvir Empire’s empress, Manya Felan, the richest person in the Human Continent, who was also a transmigrator, Bella had already amassed riches beyond what an average person could dream of, so these ordinary treasures were nothing to her.
Just when Bella took Kriss’ hand and was ready to browse elsewhere, she sensed several sneaky figures in the shadows following her that were hiding in the shadows of the stores on both sides of the street. Kriss and Ariel also discovered them soon after. These two Renegades were hiding a lot of power deep inside them, so it was normal for them to notice they were being followed.
“Bella, we’re being followed, and they don’t seem to be humans!”
“Yeah. Kriss, Ariel, you two noticed it too?”
“That’s right. I can feel that their gaze is on Kriss. Can’t be perverts, right?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, Ariel. You think a pervert’s going to be eyeing someone’s neck?”
After this quiet conversation with Kriss and Ariel, Bella noticed the stalker’s gaze. It really was at Kriss’ neck. In that case, this didn’t seem like a normal human pervert. Kriss had a rather sizable chest, so what was so nice to see about her neck?
Bella and the girls deliberately headed into a quiet alley to get the stalkers to show themselves, but disappointingly, they remained on standby. Once they saw Bella and the girls enter the alley, they were just about to attack but abruptly disappeared as if they had received some sort of command.
This made Bella feel very depressed. Those tailgaters really were too unprofessional. Why would they retreat halfway through? What a scam. However, she found a rather old looking store in the quiet corner. The store didn’t sell any tourist souvenirs, but rather some antique books. The shop-owner was a person wearing a grey cloak. Seeing that there wasn’t anywhere else they could go, they decided to visit the store.
While Bella was looking at the goods, she found her surroundings instantly turning black and white. Kriss and Ariel were still looking at the goods on the shelves; they didn’t notice Bella entering the black and white world at all. Bella wasn’t flustered. She calmly looked up at the person in the grey robe. That guy was likely up to something.
“Don’t be nervous. Haven’t we talked 1,300 years ago?”
“Uh, are you the third Fate, sir?”
“That’s right. You are the first Savior to have survived after going back in time. The other Saviors were all sucked into the timeline and were never able to come back. They don’t even have their memories anymore, so you’re a special one!”
The third Fate’s current state was only a phantom. After knowing that, Bella wasn’t so scared anymore.
So it turned out that the Third Fate had come to this dimension out of curiosity. She wanted to confirm Bella’s condition, so she purposefully arranged for a phantom to wait for Bella here. The Fate, who was in a phantom state, was unable to see anything. This was also the reason why she did not notice that Bella was a turncoat at first glance. She could only judge Bella by her soul.
After communicating with Bella, the third Fate found that this system-type Savior had a very clear mind of her own and not a ‘Yes-man’ like the other bland system-type Saviors. This sincerity increased the third Fate’s impression of Bella by quite a lot. After some thought, the third Fate decided to persuade her to retreat.
“Well... Bella. Would you consider changing dimensional worlds? I can help you change to a new dimension for you to do your tasks on. This place is... Frankly, I’m not supposed to say this, but there’s a grim outlook for the Saviors in this dimension.”
“Why? Haven’t we sent a lot of Saviors here?”
“Numbers won’t help. According to our scouting, the top ten existences of the World Destructor’s Demon Gods and Evil Gods, and the top ten existences of the Chaos Bringers have all shown signs of invading this realm and they have yet to leave. Due to certain reasons, other Creators with no good intentions have also appeared in this dimension.”
“Bella, if you would like to extend your career as a Savior, then I suggest you to change dimensions. I still have that much authority to help. You are the first lower-ranking Savior who can chat with me without any fear, just like a friend.”
In the end, Bella still declined the third Fate’s kindness. A “multiple spy” like her won’t face any problems. However, Bella learned a lot of information about Alan Island from the third Fate. Based on that information, after the Bridges Kingdom’s demise on Alan Island, this place went under the control of the Blood Race. The Blood Race had originally been expelled from their home by the Demons and the Undead during the scramble for supremacy in the Demon Continent, after which they joined hands with the descendants of the Bridges Kingdom’s royal family.
The suspicious guys following Bella and the others earlier were the descendants of the Blood Race, as they did not give up halfway because of any orders or noticed that Bella and the others weren’t people they should mess with. Instead, when they entered the third Fate’s boundary, it led to them being in a temporary stealth state, so the Blood Race suddenly lost track of them and had to change targets.
The entirety of Alan Island had been controlled by the Blood Race for a long time. Duke Wagner, the one responsible for hosting this Twelve Academies Exchange Tournament, was said to be a high-ranking Blood Race in disguise, so the entire Ota Town was under the secret control of the Blood Race. The Blood Race’s real base should be near Alan Island, in a place nicknamed “Bat Island.”
The specific location of this “Bat Island” had not been discovered by the Savior Camp as of yet. Many Saviors had been arranged to scout the area to find the place, but it had yet to yield any results. The Radiant Church of this dimension seemed to have forgotten some important attributes as the Blood Race did not appear in their list of evils. Thus, they did not interfere with any of their activities.
When Bella got this information, she became more worried about the safety of Alan Island. Right now, Alan Island was an evil force that was not in cahoots with Bella and was roughly divided into three factions. There was the Blood Race led by Duke Wagner. These guys were coming for the students who had arrived at the island. Then, there were the Deep Sea Alliance and the humans of the Darkness Continent. After the sea monster attack, they had temporarily disappeared, but they could reappear at any time. The final group of forces was the unknown troublemakers hidden amongst the Twelve Academies, such as those specializing in gambling for the results of the competition.
When Bella and the girls came back to their senses, the shop had already disappeared. The third Fate’s true body was not here, so her phantom disappeared after coming in contact with Bella. Other than Bella, neither Kriss nor Ariel had any recollections of the event. Bella was the only one left with memories of the third Fate. The moment just now seemed to have just been a short trance for them.
“Bella, that’s strange... I seem to remember we were shopping just now, but for some reason, I can’t really remember what we were looking at anymore... Ariel, do you remember?”
“I... I think I remember a little? Only the image seems blurry... Whether it’s real or not, I really can’t tell you.”
“Kriss, Ariel. I think we should go. That was probably just an illusion. Let’s go back to the fleet!”
While reassuring Kriss and Ariel, she tried to get the two Renegades to forget about the encounter with the Fate. On the other hand, Bella wanted to rush back as soon as possible. After learning that Ota Town was an area controlled by the Blood Race, she was a bit restless. She knew very well about the hobbies of the Blood Race, and her fleet consisted of all girls. There was a high probability of them being attacked by the Blood Race.
The Radiant Church of this dimension didn’t seem to have any special means to fight against the Blood Race, so Bella could only enlist the Creator of Light Vianne, who was relaxing on the ship. She had special ways to restrain certain demonic beings, which of course, included the Blood Race. On the way back, Bella and the others discovered that they could not find anyone anymore on the once lively streets. The stalls had also changed.
Even though it was currently daytime, Ota Town looked completely different to them now. It almost seemed as if the previous Ota Town was just a disguise. The town’s residents had long been under the Blood Race’s control and had all turned into vampire slaves. Under the disguise of camouflage magic, those who entered the town for the first time could only see the illusions. Bella and the girls were in the third Fate’s boundary earlier, and when they came out again, that was considered their second time entering Ota Town, so the deceptive effects of the illusion no longer worked on them.
The inhabitants of Ota Town had been turned into low-level vampires, and their eyes were emitting a red glow similar to the eyes of bats in the night. You could already see the pair of sharp fangs stretching out of the mouths of some. Under the effect of illusion magic, the tourists entering the town failed to recognize this ploy. Even the priests from the Radiant Church were fooled.
These fake Blood Race islanders were chatting enthusiastically with the visitors. Once they managed to confuse the tourists and had them stumble over to a dead angle, they were killed and turned into one of them. Bella looked up at the sky of Ota Town and could vaguely see a layer of translucent glass. It was probably thanks to that glass that sunlight was unable to truly shine into Ota Town despite it being daytime. Those Blood Races had yet to become strong enough that they did not have to fear the sunlight.
With that in mind, things were easier to deal with. Bella was planning to destroy that layer of translucent glass so that the Blood Race pretending to be humans would all die under the sunlight. That way, she could sneakily wipe out the inhabitants of Ota Town using the power of the sun. Just as Bella was preparing to find the opportunity to pull off that plan, Kriss gently reached out to pull Bella back.
“What’s wrong, Kriss? You must have seen it too, right? I’m going to make them disappear.”
“Wait, Bella. Some of the girls seem to have been caught. If you do that, then they might get anxious and start using them as hostages. We shouldn’t alarm them just yet.”
“Huh, so some girls really have been caught? Kriss, temporary change of plan. You and Ariel find a way to return to the fleet. Tell the girls to not come to Ota Town for now. I’ll go summon a few peers.”
Following what Kriss said, Bella really did discover that some students had taken the Blood Race’s bait. And, they were even the students from the Twelve Academies. They had metal cogs on their uniforms, so they should be students from the Augustus Academy.
