Chapter 1123: Encounter and Reunion
“Her Highness Lydia’s attack is so magnificent...”
Gazing at this scene, Mini Bubble Gum gasped in admiration. Canary stood beside her, lifted her head, and gazed at the starry sky.
“Yea, powerful and magnificent as always... That’s Her Royal Highness Lydia for you...”
“... Alright, you two can stop escaping reality now.”
Although Rhode criticized them, his expression was equally as ashen as theirs. The reason was simple. Right in front of them, a 300-kiloters-wide hole had opened up on the sowhat flat moon’s surface. The entire headquarters of the Aricas Region was uprooted, not to ntion the Chaos Nest. They turned into ashes without leaving behind any traces. Rhode wanted Lydia to go all out on her attack, but this was... forget it. It was still better than her destroying the entire moon.
This matter has blown up. Looks like we’ll have so troubles ahead.
At this thought, Rhode held his forehead and sighed. He was sure that this attack from Lydia would definitely be witnessed by several organizations on the earth and moon. Well... their reactions had nothing to do with him though. As of now, the headquarters was destroyed, the Chaos Nest was eliminated, and the last piece of slate was taken to Earth by soone. It beca a really botherso matter now. It seed like it might be necessary for them to travel to Earth, but just how should they do it? Surely Rhode wouldn’t be experinting with wrapping himself in spiritual powers before bursting through the atmosphere like what he thought, right?
“———!”
All of a sudden, a series of bright radiances flashed ahead. The group turned toward the flashes and suddenly, another two to three flares were released continuously.
“What is that, Your Majesty Rhode?”
Lydia flapped her wings toward him and asked curiously.
“It seems like soone is sending a signal... We...”
Before Rhode finished his sentence, another bright light erupted from the sa location. This ti, it didn’t shine from above, but shot out from the surface instead. The white brilliance streaked across the sky and ford a symbol. Upon seeing the symbol, Rhode narrowed his eyes.
“Seems to be looking for us, Leader.”
Gazing at the symbol hovering in the sky, Mini Bubble Gum curled her lips. Rhode couldn’t be more familiar with what was displayed before them—a pure white, cross-shaped star. It was the emblem of Starlight Guild. Considering their current situation, it was apparent that this wasn’t a coincidence the other party sent out this signal.
“Let’s check it out.”
Following the direction of the light, Rhode’s group arrived at a crater and saw the location from where the light emanated from in the distance. It was a moon exploration vehicle, but seed very much in terrible condition. The vehicle that should have been flat on the sides and roof was now covered in bumps and holes. The glass of the observation cabin was also smashed into a tragic sight. Fortunately, the quality of the vehicle was great enough that a tragedy was avoided.
There were five to six fully-armored soldiers surrounding the moon exploration vehicle. Upon witnessing the arrival of Rhode’s group, they couldn’t help but take a few steps back and reveal fear in their eyes as soon as they saw Lydia. It was already bizarre that a human didn’t need protective gear to roam freely on the moon. But now, after witnessing the entire battle between Rhode’s group and the Chaos Nest through the surveillance caras, and especially that final attack from Lydia, the soldiers were scared stiff. If Erin’s attack on the Aricas Region in her dragon form was still within the acceptable range, this huge blast from Lydia comparable to the impact of a teorite went completely beyond their expectations. No one expected this slender young lady to possess that much power. At this mont, Lydia was though a human-shaped, walking nuclear warhead in their eyes.
If it weren’t for their superior who strictly ordered them to not act recklessly, perhaps they would have already raised and aid their weapon at the beautiful young lady who looked like an angel. After all, it would be impossible for them to not feel nervous as a mighty threat walked toward them.
On the other hand, Lydia sized up the armored soldiers curiously. It was apparent that she was amused by their fully-enclosed nano armors.
“Your Majesty Rhode, their costu looks interesting. They’re thin and yet, seem surprisingly tough. How exactly are they made? Are they forged from so sort of special ores?”
“Maybe, but I’m not too sure either... this isn’t my profession, after all.”
Rhode was being truthful as he didn’t take the nanoengineering course in university... Moreover, such military secrets weren’t easily accessible by an ordinary man like him.
The door opened gradually and this ti, he entered without any hesitation. After all, he had already recognized their identities from the emblem of the soldiers’ uniform. Since that was the case, Rhode didn’t mind having a chat with them. Of course, he had to be cautious. Even though he didn’t know how they obtained information about him, nothing good would co out of a discussion at this juncture. But...
When Rhode t the people in front of him, he was rooted to the spot.
Canary and Mini Bubble Gum stood before him, gazing at him in disbelief. If it weren’t for their spacesuits, Rhode would have believed that he was looking at a mirror. Not only that, but he was also stunned when he shifted his gaze to the lazy-looking young lady at the side.
“Senior Heart?”
“Long ti no see, Rhode. It seems like you’re indeed that Rhode we know.”
Upon hearing Rhode’s query, Orchid Heart stretched out her hand and waved at him with a complete lack of enthusiasm. At this mont, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum looked at him with complicated gazes. This wasn’t as simple as a reunion because he also brought along two young ladies who looked exactly like them...
“Tsk, they’re nothing more than fakes... no big deal.”
“What? What’s wrong with fakes?”
Upon hearing Bubble’s mutters, the Bubble standing beside Rhode knitted her brows imdiately.
“At least I’m at Leader’s side now. What about you? Hahaha... you look so miserable like a defeated dog. What? Can’t manage your own problems after leaving Leader? Hahaha, what a fool!”
“What did you say?! Say that again! I’ll see if you can handle !”
“Sure! I’m not afraid of you! I’ll say this upfront: after you lose, you will kneel before and beg for forgiveness!”
“Lose to a fake like you? Don’t even think you’ll be as great as even after having plastic surgery to look like . You’re just like those Koreans who underwent plastic surgeries to look like celebrities, but eventually went on to beco prostitutes who are sold by n after they had their fun with them! How about I introduce to you so uncensored filming? Perhaps you might make it big!”
“You think you’re a celebrity? Just look at your body. Tsk, I really regret being your mirror image...”
“Alright, stop now, both of you.”
Rhode raised his arm helplessly to stop their bickering.
Why are they quarreling with themselves? Won’t it be equally embarrassing no matter who wins? Even though there are only our people here, it is still too humiliating for them to tear into each other in public.
Perhaps realizing this point, the Bubbles shut their mouths, glared at each other, and turned around to let out a ‘hmph’ at the sa ti. Then, as though discovering sothing, they turned back abruptly and pointed at each other.
“Stop copying !”
Both Bubbles yelled and were taken aback imdiately. Then, they spoke at the sa ti again.
“Who’s copying you!”
They’re mirror images for sure. Their synchronization is completely on point.
But fortunately, Canary wasn’t as rash as Mini Bubble Gum. She gazed at her other self and held down Mini Bubble Gum’s shoulder with her hand, asking her to calm down. Then, Canary lifted her head and gazed at Rhode.
“Rhode, what exactly is going on?”
Seems like it isn’t possible to keep this a secret anymore.
At this thought, Rhode shrugged helplessly before sitting down on the sofa. He lifted his head and gazed at the trio. Even though he didn’t know why the other Canary, Mini Bubble Gum, and Orchid Heart were here, this was the best chance for him. Shortly after, he explained everything that happened in simple terms, including how he transmigrated to the Dragon Soul Continent, the things that happened to him, the Phantom Guardians, and the current state of war between Order and Chaos. He wasn’t concerned that they would have any bizarre thoughts. After all, as players of the sa ga, Canary, Mini Bubble Gum, and Orchid Heart should be able to understand him.
On the other hand, Orchid Heart also gave Rhode a rough description of everything they experienced, including how Canary and Mini Bubble Gum t Erin and the things that happened. After learning about Orchid Heart’s identity, Rhode was bewildered. This was because Orchid Heart had never ntioned her real identity in the Dragon Soul Continent before. But co to think of it, the Orchid Heart in the Dragon Soul Continent was one created based on his mories, so she naturally wouldn’t know anything that he didn’t know.
“In other words, in order to find Her Highness Erin and investigate the manipulator behind the scenes, you transmigrated from the Dragon Soul Continent and didn’t expect to land yourself here?”
“Yes. Honestly, I was surprised too.”
Facing Orchid Heart’s question, Rhode spread his arms apart. He was definitely flabbergasted because he never expected Earth to have anything to do with the Dragon Soul Continent except for the ga itself. But shortly after, he thought of proper business.
“By the way, didn’t you say Her Highness Erin is with them? Where is she?”
“She...”
Upon hearing Rhode’s question, Mini Bubble Gum and Canary hesitated. Then, they forced a smile that was uglier than a crying face.
“Erm... Leader... Her Highness Erin went after the space shuttle that took the slate. I think... she’s headed for Earth....”
“...”
Rhode didn’t say a word. Instead, he extended his hand to hold his forehead. Because he clearly knew what this ant.
They were in big trouble now.
