Endless Journey: Infinite Realms-Chapter 710 Rest and Provocations

Chapter 710 Rest and Provocations

The rare fate magic used by a mysterious man allied with the Holy Order Church.

The Cardinal-level power used by this man's allies.

The overpowering magical and sword abilities by the Divine Maiden herself.

The surprising interference of the other religions.

And the horrifying arrival of the Abyss Envoy.

All of these events happened during Alina's Divine Maiden Welcoming Ceremony, making it one of the most remembered happenings in the history.

Almost all people in the whole world watched these events proceed in a tense manner, as each of these events can led to an all-out war between all the religions.

To the surprise of many however, these sparks of impending battle were brought to heel by the arrival of the Abyss Envoy, a person that many expected to actually fan the flames of war.

Instead of creating a scenery where all the involved parties will fight, the Abyss Envoy instead proposed an alliance with these different religions.

Such audacious offer was surprisingly accepted by the religions involved, which just brought more shock to everyone.

What could the Abyss Envoy had told these religions, that they were willing to forget his vile status and cooperate with him?

It was too bad that nobody was able to figure out what the Abyss Envoy and the other religions had talked about during that time. What was known however was that an alliance between these religions are bound to bloom any of these days, and it will surely set off a major change in this world.

2 DAYS LATER.

"….If Alex did not arrive on that place, I could have been dead. But he did arrive and he saved us. But after doing that, he did not do anything else! He did not even attack me, and he did not even wreak havoc on my Welcoming Ceremony. What is up with that guy?"

Alina, whose whole body was covered with bandages this time, said these words with a hint of confusion to herself, as if she was still unsure about what happened 2 days ago.

She should have been happy and contented and she had survived and also had managed to finish the Welcoming Ceremony, but all that she can feel now was anxiety, especially in regards to Alex's behavior.

"Tsk, that guy… even when he's already partially corrupted, he still manages to surprise me!"

Alina's eyes then menacingly flashed as she remembered what Alex did after he had managed to chase all the Travelers away.

"That Alex…. I thought that he will try to take me for himself, especially after he succeeded on making the other Travelers leave."

"But instead of doing it, he just waved me a goodbye while saying that 'he will wait for me in the Ancestral Tomb'…"

"He then left after that, without doing anything else…."

"Argh! Why did he do that? Is there something about his actions that I missed?"

"And is he really serious on waiting for me in the Ancestral Tomb? Is there something important about the Ancestral Tomb that is enough to make him forget about me?"

"Tsk, whatever is Alex's reason for not taking me, I should be happy that I am still here on the Church of Wisdom…. At least I can still use my power, and also wield the power of this religion to myself…."

"Hmph, since Alex is willing to wait for me in the Ancestral Tomb, then I will be happy to meet him there!"

"But what the hell is the Ancestral Tomb anyway? I still don't know what it is, and the Church of Wisdom is still not telling me about it!"

"Argh, this is making me feel frustrated again! All the other Travelers already knew about this tomb, yet I am still not informed about it? What is wrong with this Church?"

"I am their Divine Maiden now, for f**k's sake! Shouldn't they tell me about everything already?"

At this point, Alina visibly became pissed, and if it weren't for the bandages covering her body, she could have stood up already and stormed in towards the main room of the Church of Wisdom.

"But those priests told me that as long as I am done dealing with my body problem, they will be willing to talk to me about that tomb…. "

"Hmph, at least they have the right mindset to say that. But do I really have to wait for this body problem of mine to be dealt with?"

"Even though there is only a few hours left, I can't resist staying this still! Argh, I just want to f**king do something!"

With this last line sounding both ominous and exasperated, Alina gave a wary glance to her body, which was still covered with bandages.

"Tsk, I just wanted to get stronger through getting more Divine Sensory Organs, but this is what I get? Pain and extended rest time? Bulls**t!"

_______________

Alina tried to clench her fists in order to let out some of her frustrations, but this action of hers was awarded with another dose of pain, courtesy from her very sore skin.

"Argh! Why is this transformed skin of mine acting like this? It might have transformed into the Omniscient Skin already, but because it is a new Divine Sensory Organ whose power is not mine, I am still overwhelmed by its power!"

"Tsk, why does my skin have to be this sensitive? Is this what that Beatrice feels through this skin? How the hell was she able to resist this?"

The stress brought by Alex's behavior was only exacerbated by the sudden soreness of ALina's skin, something that she did not expect after her attempt to take the Omniscient Skin.

Of course she knew that she will need some time to acclimate to the new sensation brought by her new skin, but for it to be this bad and lengthy is already making her pissed again.

"Tsk, it will still take me a few more hours before I can fully adapt to my skin's new sensory settings. That time might be short to others, but for me who is deprived of information already, that few hours is a f**king waste of time!"

"Argh! I should have been using this time to prepare for the trip to the Ancestral Tomb, but no, those priests told me to rest!"

"Why in the world would I need rest now after the spectacle that Alex did?"

"He might have spared me earlier, but I am sure that he just spared me because he is planning something big inside the Ancestral Tomb!"

"Since that was the case, then I should be prepared for it already!"

"Ugh, this is why I really hate being allied with someone else. You never know what they might do, and you could be powerless to do something about it!"

"Tsk, should I be wary of making an ally next time? Yes, I should be wary of that. After all, if this had just happened here, then it could happen on other places too-"

Before Alina could say more words that would ruin her already perfect face, a silhouette of a female appeared behind her, who approached Alina in a manner that was both elegant and graceful.

Such graceful body was enough to enchant many, and the voice of this newcomer was just as enchanting, and she used it to express her opinion on Alina.

Because her voice sounded both soothing and gentle, anyone will surely feel happy after hearing the voice of this newcomer.

But this newcomer, no matter what she did, was unable to reduce Alina's anger, not even by an inch.

This newcomer instead made Alina more pissed, as this 'someone' was a person that Alina loathed to see.

"Oi Wisteria. You might have been a guest of the Church of Wisdom, but that does not give you the right to be this chummy to me. Don't you have a mission to do by your own? Go do it by yourself, and stop pestering me already!"

The newcomer was surprisingly the Cosmic Guard Wisteria herself, a person who Alina had last encountered in the Four Moons World!

For this woman to be here is surprising on its own, and the way that she coddled up to Alina this time was even more astonishing!

Obviously, Alina was bothered by this, but aside from Wisteria, there is something else bothering her.

::Hey Alina. Stop talking trash to Wisteria already. Can't you see that she's concerned about you? Tsk, instead of spurning her, why don't you just accept her sincerity?::

"Hah, did you say something, Astria? It seems like you losing your body had made you lose your tact."

There was also the presence of Astria, the holder of the Ears of Divine Communication, whose soul currently resided inside Wisteria's body.

::You! You are still as unruly as before, you damaged Alina! Wisteria, why don't you do something about her now? She's injured, so you can clobber her in every ways that you want!::

Hearing Astria's voice induced more negative emotions from Alina, as the former was an existence that Alina considered to be a thorn on her side.

So as much as Alina treated Wisteria with wariness, all of her hate was undoubtedly piled towards this irritating Astria.

"Hah? You really are a b***h, Astria! You're even coercing other people to attack me? If you are really that audacious, then why don't you attack me by yourself? You can do it, right?"

::You! Just you wait Alina! As long as I manage to recreate my body, I will challenge you to a one-on-one fight! Hehehe, when that time comes, don't be so scared to face me!::

"…."

::Hahaha! Look at you! You seem to look scared! Hahaha, now that's the look that I want to see!::

"…"

Astria, who was once touted as the most talented Celestial power practitioner and also considered by Alina as her rival, does not have her body anymore and she has to rely only for Wisteria to survive.

This state made Astria extremely weak since she only existed as a soul, but this did not deter ALina from being hostile to her.

"Me? Scared of facing you, Astria? What the f**k are you thinking? I am already a Sixth Stage Being, which means that one wave of my hand is enough to beat you. Are you really sure that you want to fight me?"

:: Ugh…. ::

"Hehehe, see that Wisteria? Your partner Astria is scared to fight me! Hahaha, she's just all talk and no action!"

::Hey!::
