"So you two are saying... that Alex is at the Red Moon right now?" [Asteria] muttered as she stared at Alina and Astria, who were both standing away from each other.
Alina and Astria has already ended their handshake, which effectively cut off their link. This in turn made their sensory organs go back to their normal states.
Alina was busy cleaning her hand with alcohol as she replied to [Asteria’s] query.
"Yes, when we used our improved sensory organs to look for Alex, we saw his traces just in front of the Red Moon. Why won’t you believe us quickly?"
"Okay, I just want to make sure." [Asteria] said as she shrugged her shoulders. "But you two said that Alex was not the only one at the Red Moon, right? Who else did you see there?"
"We saw the Devourers along with their allied Travelers, and they seem to be following Emperor Litch." Astria was the one who said these words. "And at the surface of the Red Moon, we saw the Celestials, along with their affiliated Traveler Team. The Traveler in that Traveler Team... is not in a good condition right now. Then there is a massive Red Tower floating just above the Red Moon. When we saw that Tower, we felt a malevolent aura that forced us to stop spying on it. It was at that point that I and Alina broke off our link."
"Tsk, so every major players are in the Red Moon already, and we are the only ones left behind? Hmph, I do not know what I should feel about this!" [Asteria] said as she let out a harrumph. "Hey Alina with the way that we are travelling right now, how long would it take for us to reach the Red Moon?"
"Approximately an hour." Alina said as she tilted her head.
"An hour? B**ch, by the time that we arrive at the Red Moon, there is nothing that we could do!" [Asteria] shouted in frustration as she pulled her hair. "What do you-"
[Asteria] suddenly stopped talking, as her eyes became glazy and hollow.
This state of her lasted for around a second before clarity returned to her features.
Before Alina could ask [Asteria[ what happened to her, [Asteria] opened her mouth as she began to talk with her serious voice.
[[[RED MOON DESTROYED BY TRAVELER ALEX AND TRAVELER MALTHUS. DUE TO A COOPERATION TO DESTROY THE RED MOON, BOTH TRAVELERS WILL ONLY BE REWARDED 125 YEARS OF LIFESPAN EACH. MOONS REMAINING: 2]]]
"!!!" Alina, who heard what [Asteria] just said, could only stare at the fairy in surprise.
"Asteria, the Red Moon was destroyed already?" Alina said as she let out a deep breath. Surprise was apparent on her eyes, which was a normal reaction to what she just heard.
"I just said that it was already destroyed, right?" [Asteria] replied as her normal voice returned. "What do you expect me to do about it?"
"Okay, I see..." Alina muttered as she let out a sigh. "That Emperor... he really is someone that we could not underestimate."
"Yep, that’s what I just told you earlier." [Asteria] replied as she shrugged her shoulders. "Emperor LItch is just that strong. That is why we also need to arrive at the Red Moon immediately! Who knows what might happen if we let him do more!"
"Emperor Litch is one thing, but who the hell is Malthus?" Alina asked [Asteria] as she looked at the fairy with confusion. "I never heard of someone named Traveler Malthus before!"
"Well, don’t ask me. I don’t know that guy either." [Asteria] replied as she shook her head. "Although, there is a high possibility that Malthus is related to the Red Moon Power recipients."
"Like Kiera?" Alina replied, as she remembered the little girl, who was sleeping soundly inside Alina’s storage. The little girl had been shaken when Alex became Emperor Litch, but it seems like she had already recovered enough.
"Yes, yes, eyes, just like her." The fairy replied as she sat down on top of Alina’s head.
"Then-"
"Hmph, if you want to get curious about this Malthus guy, just do it once we are the Red Moon!" [Asteria] suddenly said as she cut off Alina. "What you should be more worried now is on how we can arrive at the Red Moon quickly! We can’t just go there using these vehicles! These little s***s right here will take an hour to reach the Red Moon. That’s just unacceptable! We need to find a new way to arrive there quickly!"
"..."
"What? Hooman, think of a way right now!"
"..."
After facing the barrage of [Asteria’s] complaints, Alina only kept a calm face as she managed to give the fairy a reply.
"I have a suggestion, although some of us might be unenthusiastic about this."
"Hmph, as long as we can travel quickly , then everything will be fine!" [Asteria] replied as she sneered at Alina. "Or are you saying that you are not powerful enough to do it?"
"Of course I am powerful enough. It’s just that... maybe it will be too much for some of the Celestials here."
"Forget about them. They are already grown-ups!"
"Fine. If something happens here, then you will take responsibility!"
"I will, I will." [Asteria] replied as she thumped her tiny chest. "Just do your stuff, and we will surely be fine!"
"..."
After receiving this confirmation from [Asteria], Alina took a deep breath as she looked at everyone in their entourage.
She stared at them intently before saying,
"Everyone, I have a way to make us reach our target destination in a much shorter span of time. But if I use this way, some of you might feel extremely sick. That’s why I apologize for anyone that might be inconvenienced here."
"Wait-"
Alina ignored Astria’s obligatory complaint as she immediately activated her Dimension Manipulation Power.
Alina knew that Alex’s life was at stake here, so she will not waste any idle moment!
The faster that they will arrive at the Red Moon, the better it will be for Alex!
"Schwoon..."
Alina’s mind started to work full time as she scanned all the dimensions inside her 40 Kilometer Range.
Inside this Range, Alina could perfectly sense all the dimensions, specially her expertise, the 3-dimensional space.
This time around, Alina only focused her attention on the 3-dimensional space, as she knew that this will be the one that will help her and her allies to hasten their travel speeds.
"Hold on everyone, this ride’s gonna be a crazy one." Alina said in a monotonous voice, making everyone who heard her shiver in fear.
"Boom!" Seconds after Alina said these words, everyone started to shout in fear as they felt their bodies being pulled forward by an extremely powerful force! They could only clutch at their vehicles desperately, as they felt like they might be thrown blasted away if they do not cling on something!
Astria, who was usually composed, was also affected by what Alina did, as she started to dry heave while she clutched her wheelchair for dear life.
As for [Asteria], she seemed to be oblivious on what was happening, as she started to clap and laugh.
"Hahahaha hooman! This is fun! Why did you not say that you can do this before? This is so great!"
"Shut up fairy. I am concentrating here." Alina replied angrily as she kept her eyes closed. "Do you know how hard it is for me to fold space forward and make our vehicles instantaneously appear on the location 40 kilometers in front of us? It’s too difficult! And I have to do this space-folding for 250 times before we can reach the Red Moon!"
"Um-"
"So if you don’t want any accidents from happening, you should just shut up and stay quiet. We still have around 4 minutes of time left before we can arrive at the Red Moon." Alina decisively said as she shook her head. "I suppose you can keep quiet for 4 minutes, right?"
"..."
"Good, so you can also be quiet. You should have done this before."
"..."
***************
SURFACE OF THE RED MOON
At the Red Moon split itself in half, Delia heard Celeste talking beside her.
[[[RED MOON DESTROYED BY TRAVELER ALEX AND TRAVELER MALTHUS. DUE TO A COOPERATION TO DESTROY THE RED MOON. BOTH TRAVELERS WILL ONLY BE REWARDED 125 YEARS OF LIFESPAN EACH. MOONS REMAINING: 2]]]
"!!!" Delia, who heard the message and all the implications inside it, could only shake her head as she realized that things had just become interesting.
But even though she was taken by surprise with what she heard, Delia was actually extremely happy right now, as the battle between Traveler Alex and the demon allowed her to regain the chance to survive and win.
After all, at the very exact moment that Traveler Alex and the Demon fought, her black ooze had lost its effect, allowing Delia to use her powers once more.
This in turn allowed Delia to execute her own plans.
"Tong’er and Milo! Bring this angel away from here! She is in a critical condition! Do everything that you can to heal her quickly!" Delia immediately said as she stood up.
Her heavy injuries started to heal themselves, which was caused by the return of her powers.
As for the angel, Delia saw that she was also starting to heal, but the extent that the angel healed was so slow that Delia knew that she needs some outside help.
"But Big Sis, your injuries-"
"Don’t worry about me. I am almost healed right now." Delia replied as she picked up her spear. She started to caress it as she felt her fighting intent starting to increase. "Right now, give your priority to this angel. We need her help later, so the faster that she heals, the better that it will be for us!"
"Okay Big Sis..." Both of her Companions could only follow Delia as they knew that there is no way for them to change her mind.
"..."
As her companions approached the injured angel, Delia’s gaze landed on the Celestials, who all flinched as they looked at her.
Even though the Celestials did nothing to help her while she was being hounded by the Demon earlier, Delia did not feel angry at them. After all, Delia’s black ooze also made them powerless earlier.
"All of you. Station yourselves around that red giant demon." Delia said as she pointed her finger towards the True Body which the demon had been coveting since earlier. "Use every power that you can to blockade the area around that giant demon. Do not let anyone unauthorized approach it, even at the expense of your lives. Do you all understand that?"
"Yes we do!" The Celestials hurriedly replied as they nodded their heads.
"..."
Even if the Red Moon was already cut in half, the Celestials still managed to keep their cool. This was something that made Delia curious, as she expected them to be greatly panicking right now.
"..." Delia did not inquire on how they were still able to stay calm like this as she focused her attention on the demon and Traveler Alex, who were both fighting each other.
"That f**king Demon... so he is also a Traveler huh. Hmm, this makes everything so confusing." Delia muttered to herself as she narrowed her eyes. "If Malthus was a Demonic Leader that was imprisoned here in the Red Moon, then how the hell did he become a Traveler? Ugh, and then there is that weird thing about Traveler Alex too. When he entered the atmosphere earlier, my tongue noticed something different about his taste. This Alex right here... he is Alex, but he is also not Alex!"
"..." The confusion on Delia’s face only increased as she thought of these things.
After a few seconds of being stuck with these thoughts, Delia rapidly shook her head as she realized what she should be doing now.
"Instead of asking questions, I should be fighting right now!" Delia thought to herself as she observed Traveler Alex and Traveler Malthus. "Why waste my time with uncertainties when I can just use it to impose my will?"
Her whole body began to glow white as her wings unfurled around her elegantly.
Her spear then let out a sonorous cry as she fed it with her own power.
Delia then squatted on the ground as she stared above her intently.
"Since you two Travelers are fighting against each other, let me join in too!"
"Boom!"
Delia then disappeared on her spot as she blasted herself high up in the air.
Seconds later, and the booming sounds around the Red Moon increased, as a new challenger joined in the fight.
