Chapter 947
“Your body?”
Rhode twitched his brow and asked curiously. Alice nodded slightly and explained.
“Yes, Your Majesty. Back then when Chaos wreaked havoc, I moved the library to the Tinder Origin and barely survived the corrosion. But I wasn’t sure if the tinder would be able to defend against Chaos’s attack, so in order to ensure that my powers wouldn’t be devoured, I separated my spirit from my body and stored my body in the interval of history. Right now, this spirit of me that you’re seeing only contains a small part of my complete power. This was the only way I still had a chance of survival even if the Tinder Origin crumpled to Chaos…”
Alice paused.
“… But due to uncertain factors, I consumed too much power which weakened the link between my spirit and body. Even if I want to return to my body now, it won’t be that quick. Besides, Your Majesty, history is a process of accumulation and my body has already been buried deep down in accumulated history. I can’t search for my body within a short period of time by myself.”
“What can I do for you?”
Rhode asked. He understood what she meant. For example, Alice’s body was as though an important password which she had written on a newspaper and hid it inside a pile of newspapers to prevent anyone from discovering. But as time went by, more piles of newspapers filled up the entire room and she couldn’t find that particular newspaper. However… Rhode didn’t think that he could be of help.
“You’re the Void Dragon, Your Majesty, and we can sense that as your subjects. For that, I want to borrow your strength and re-enter the interval of history in search of my body. I don’t have any battle strength in me, so I will need to seek your powers.”
“Sure.”
Rhode nodded firmly. He wasn’t dubious of her words. Since this was necessary, there was no reason for him to hesitate anymore. This request from Alice, who was one of the six Deity Wardens, seemed no different to a mission. As a player, how could he ignore this mission? Yes, he might face trouble in the process, but he was always pragmatic.
“13th zone crumpled completely. Activate second sets of plans!”
Celia commanded swiftly without taking a final look at the thousands of innocent people who died to Chaos. She knew that she had no time to waste. The steel city walls trembled as a three-floor-tall iron magic cannon appeared, aiming at Chaos below.
“Fire!”
Once again, ear-deafening explosions and blinding radiance tore through the entire world before Rhode’s eyes.
That’s Chaos?
Everything that happened seconds ago vanished completely and Rhode returned to the empty darkness. However, he hadn’t returned to his senses yet. Instead, he puckered his brows, comparing the Chaos that he witnessed with the Chaos he knew. This Chaos was no different from the Chaos that he saw in the game. But for some unknown reason, the moment he saw the mass of darkness, he felt really uncomfortable. As soon as he saw it, he felt as though his body had been corrupted by it. This was a sensation he didn’t feel in the game. In the game, the presence of Chaos didn’t make him feel sick or stimulate his senses through their disturbing visuals. But now, he felt an impulse from deep inside his heart, urging him to retaliate.
Besides, even though both Chaos were disastrous, he felt as though the Chaos’s attack in the game was on the devastation level of a tsunami, where there was still a possibility of surviving against it. If players were to run up the mountains fast enough, they might be able to survive. On the other hand, the Chaos that he just witnessed was as though a black hole devouring and destroying the entire planet. It was the scariest disaster, one where no matter how hard a person tried to escape, they just couldn’t avoid death.
As he pondered this, the view before him changed once again.
