Chapter 853 - On the Astrology Platform
Chapter 853 On the Astrology Platform
“Hey, can you throw away those nasty thoughts in your mind for a moment and have a proper talk with me?”
Alice placed her hands together in front of herself in a cup, as if holding a lotus in them.
As her magic power surged, the initially flat marble floor started to shine with intense magical light. Powerful magical energy surged out from within, drawing a massive and complex array in the air around Alice.
As the astrology ceremony began, a vast stream of star power poured down from the skies above, filling the entire platform with strange lights and rapidly flickering projections. Yet, when one tried to focus and look at the images in closer detail, they would have trouble understanding the meaning the images were trying to express.
[Beep. Detecting the presence of planar laws. Initial estimates suggest them to be the powers of Fate.
[This is an exceptionally powerful and mysterious force. It would even be considered a higher force among the laws. Data currently being gathered.]
“Where have your thoughts gone,” Alice couldn’t help but lash back, “The Planar Consciousness is not as tasteless as you, alright?! It just instinctually dislikes Maysa’s frequent interference in the fate laws. As such, it repeatedly launched the Battles of Fate. Then, it tried to create variables that Maysa cannot control within these Battles.”
“You and I are these variables!”
“Indeed!” Alice said in agreement, “However, this doesn’t mean that we now have someone backing us. The Planar Consciousness does not have a clear enough mind to distinguish between ally and foe. It might have pushed me forward as the hand to disrupt Maysa’s plan and control over the fate laws in the World of Adepts, but it has no concern for my safety or life. It will not mourn for me even if I fail, nor shed a single tear. It will simply push forward another champion of Fate from the plane.”
“You mean to say that we have become the tools of the Planar Consciousness pushed forth to fight against the Seventh Grade Witch Maysa, and we will receive no special reward or authority for this?”
“Yes!” Alice nodded and said, “The Planar Consciousness might have given me the title of the champion of Fate, but it has no intention of standing on my side. I might enjoy some convenience and privileges when it comes to the use of the powers of Fate, but it is still far from enough to fight against a Seventh Grade witch. So, it’s not that I don’t want to jump into your embrace. It’s just…are you sure you want to bear this heavy burden on your shoulders?”
Greem couldn’t help but betray a bitter smile when he heard this.
He was already in a lot of trouble. Who knew Alice’s problems were even more extensive and numerous than his own?
While Alice was drowning in her sorrows and hesitation, Greem suddenly stood before her. He took her into his arms and gave her a fierce kiss.
A good seven minutes later, Greem finally let go of Alice’s somewhat swollen lips. He looked into her eyes and said, “From now on, you are mine. Only I can bully you from today onwards. Anyone else who wants to bully you will have to go through me!”
For some reason, warm tears started to well out of Alice’s amber eyes when she heard Greem’s simple and even crude words. Her nose was sour, and her vision was already blurry from all the tears. Her beautiful eyes were even swollen red from all the crying.
She had been so, so lonely all this while!
At least, in the past, she’d still had Endor at her side to comfort and encourage her.
However, with Endor’s death in Faen, she had lost her only relative. She had no one to turn to, even with all the complaints and lamentations in her mind. She could not find a companion to bear her burden with her.
That was why the walls that Alice had so painstakingly built around her heart instantly crumbled to dust when she heard Greem’s genuine words.
Her soft arm wrapped about Greem’s neck, and for the first time, she offered up a kiss. She then leaned against Greem’s ears and mumbled, “You will make me fall in love with you this way, you big bad guy.”
This simple sentence instantly incited Greem’s lust.
Amidst some wild tussling and wrestling, the two silhouettes finally merged as one.
…………
Outside the astrology platform, the hard-headed Fairy Helen was abnormally quiet.
She bit at her slender finger lightly as she silently spied on everything happening in the hall.
She was clearly having trouble understanding some actions of humans.
Even though the emotions transmitted over from the soul contract were those of joy and pleasure, she was only hearing moans of ‘agony’ and seeing requests for mercy.
Meanwhile, that big bad guy was giddily and very excitedly enjoying the situation. He had almost bullied Alice to death now.
The two of them were obviously fighting, but why were they fighting in such a weird fashion?
Moreover, Alice clearly wouldn’t like it if she broke in and interrupted them.
With a bit of disappointment, Helen flapped her translucent wings and flew back to her lair.
Perhaps she could get some guidance from her companions!
Helen silently thought to herself.
