Chapter 527 The Returning Travelers Part 1 of 2
With Alex’s last comnt, Asteria look like she was befuddled. However, this confusion of hers only lasted for a second before she began talking at Alex again.
"Hooman, since you have been an exemplary Traveler, I shall be kind enough to tell you about the Half-Step Transcendents that are currently residing in this world." Asteria said as she tried to pry Alex’s attention. "That Rookie Traveler outside is done for anyway, so you should just listen to ..."
"...I guess listening to you won’t hurt. What you’re about to say is important information after all." Alex said as he seed to be hooked by Asteria’s offer. He turned his head away from the ongoing auction outside before looking back at Asteria. "Now, spit out everything about them."
"...Hooman, just like what I said before, the 9 Returning Travelers that reside in this world are all Half-Step Transcendent Beings. They already have created their Personal Laws, which has bolstered their fighting prowess beyond any of us." Asteria muttered as she flicked her fingers. "These Personal Laws of theirs were also the reason that they can reign triumphant in this world."
"..."
"For now, we shall discuss each of these 9 Returners individually, with their arrangent completely random." Asteria added as she began spinning her body on the spot. "So don’t be worried about my arrangent, it is impecca-"
"Stop talking that long. Just tell your story already."
"...So, the first of these 9 was a man called the Crimson God. He was the last among the 9 to arrive in this world." Asteria muttered. "Judging by the fresh aura that he had when he arrived 6 months ago, it is obvious that his Personal Law was just newly created. That makes him visibly weaker than the other 9, hence the small amount of people working under him. Hooman, if you want to kill soone among the 9, this Crimson God is the one that you should attack."
"...We’re just discussing about them and you already want to fight? Shut it, Asteria." Alex was now exasperated by Asteria’s goadings to him, prompting him to shut her down. "Now, can you just continue your story?"
"...The title Crimson God ca from the fact that this man has the ability to manipulate a red substance. This substance can take many forms, making him an extrely versatile fighter." Asteria muttered while glaring at Alex. "Not only that, but this red substance seed to have an effect on living things too, although my data does not delve too much about that."
"..."
"So, the next one was a woman whose title was Arcane Sorceress. Oh, and just like her title says, this girl was indeed an extrely capable Sorceress." Asteria added, with her face holding a rare praising expression on it. "In fact, from what I heard, this woman was so talented that the mighty Magick Realm was fully supporting her. So say that the Arcane Sorceress was the Magick Realm’s Envoy, but in a much closer manner..."
"Asteria, don’t try fanning the flas again. I don’t care if she is an ’Envoy’ like . Just tell her powers."
"...Hooman, since the Arcane Sorceress is a follower of the Sorcery Power System, her ability mostly lies on the realm of reality manipulation and willpower manifestation." Asteria said, with her eyes looking furtively around her. She looked like she was afraid of talking more about this woman, a behavior which Alex tried to ignore. "It was said that she could be a Dream Wizard too, although that has not been proven yet..."
"If that’s just a rumor, then just skip it, Asteria."
"Ugh, can’t you just let talk normally hooman? Sheesh..." With Alex’s interruption, the talkative Asteria was forced to revert to her original topic. "Okay, so the third Returner is another woman. This woman was called the Immortal Empress, and it was said that she and the Arcane Sorceress have a bitter enmity with each other. In fact, this enmity was said to be so bad, that the Immortal Empress said that her main mission in life was to kill the Arcane Sorceress for good. Isn’-
"Immortal Empress? Is she... an Immortal Cultivator?" At the ntion of the third Returner’s title, Alex’s ears perked up with interest. After all, he had an Immortal Cultivation Body too.
"Yes, she is an Immortal Cultivator." Asteria replied as she nodded. "From what I know, she is at the very peak of the Dao Soul Stage(Immortal Soul), and she only needed to refine her boundaries more before she can beco a Empyrean. It was also said that the Immortal Empress has comprehended nurous Daos, each one serving to amplify her combat power. Rumors say that she is knowledgeable on the Dao of Space, Ti, Mind, and even the Five Elents...."
"Huh. If she knows that much Daos, then she must be really powerful." Alex muttered as he cupped his chin in interest. "Hm, is there anything more that you can say about the Immortal Empress?"
"Well, this is another rumor, but so say that the reason why the Immortal Empress wants to kill the Arcane Sorceress was because the Arcane Sorceress married a man who was forrly the Immortal Empress’ lover..." Asteria said in a much lower voice, this ti with clear cautiousness apparent on her eyes. "It was said that the Immortal Empress was greatly pissed with her forr lover marrying another woman, hence their spat right now..."
"Asteria, that’s an NTR event right? Ugh, just hearing that makes feel dirty now."
"I know, hooman. NTR really sucks. Good thing that did not ever happen to before..."
"??? Asteria, are you expecting an NTR to happen to you? How the hell could that even happen? Did you have a lover before?"
"Hmph, of course I had hooman. H-he was a muscular guy who looks much better than you!"
"He looks better than ? Really? Can you show a picture then?"
"Wait a second. It’s just in my back pocket..."
"Oi you two, if you are talking about the 9 Returnees, shouldn’t you do it with more wariness? You two look like you’re just gossiping now." Alina, who looked like she was getting fed up by the sudden change on Alex and Asteria’s conversation, muttered angrily as she bopped he heads of the two. "Seriously, don’t talk about won’s spat so casually. You never know how hurt they could be, so please be sensitive..."
