Chapter 300 Is it A? Or will it B?
At the moment that the topic of TimeMasters was brought up, the three women went silent as their moods plummeted at the same time.
"According to our captives, the enroachment of the TimeMasters in this world has been so extensive that every facet of life here has been controlled by them." Queen Mother muttered as she crossed her arms. "Business, livelihood, education, governments, even the welfare of the mortals, all of them are all run by the TimeMasters themselves."
"With the power that the people in this world had, they should have been able to resist the rule of the TimeMasters. Yet, none of them managed to even shake the TImeMasters...." Professor Frances said as she hovered behind Queen Mother. "Can you imagine that? A group of people under the powerful Immortal Cultivation System were actually unable to fend off the TImeMasters? Those TimeMasters must be hella powerful!"
"Yeah, they really are powerful."
"I wonder how strong they are compared to me..."
"Try fighting one of them, and you will see."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The three then went silent again, as they started to digest all the info that they just talked about.
At that point, none of them were able to think of a good topic to talk about, since the topic of the Immortal Cultivation System and of the TimeMasters were the most vital topics here.
A few more seconds passed by before Alina spoke up.
"All in all, those two were the most important topics that we obtained from these 5." Alina slowly said as she gazed at the cocoons. "The others were just miscellaneous information, although their info about a rebel Immortal Army living in this forest is also interesting to me..."
"Oh, you mean the Covenant of Immortals? Pei!" After hearing what Alina just said, Professor Frances gave this reply as she spat on the floor. "If you hear the name of this group, you might think that they are strong. But look at these 5 people that we captured! Aren’t they members of Covenant of Immortals? If that group was strong, how was Queen Mother be able to capture them easily?"
"Professor Frances, I think you are making a hasty generalization here." Alina replied as she shook her head. "You should remember that Queen Mother’s strength was way higher than Third Stage. Make her fight with these people, and you already know who is the winner."
"..."
"With just one look, you can say that these 5 people here were not the bigshots of the Covenant of Immortals." Alina continued saying as she shook her head. "Professor Frances, you cannot just estimate the strength of that group based on these people alone."
"A rebel organization that is composed of numerous powerful cultivators, who all share the same goal of overthrowing the TimeMasters should be a powerful group." Queen Mother said as she gave the professor a reproaching look. "Frances, no matter which you look at it, it is highly likely that this Covenant of Immortals is a hidden power."
"Fine! I get it already! I’m wrong, ok?" Professor Frances replied angrily as she let out a sigh. Shen then glared at Queen Mother and Alina as she said,
"Since you two thinks that this Covenant is really strong, then shouldn’t we be worried? If what these 5 people said was right, then all of us are inside the territory of that Covenant. That means that no matter what we do, that Covenant will surely find us. And since we captured and interrogated some of their members, our meeting with those people might turn out bad!"
"Well, I am worrying about that too." Alina replied, as she seemed to be unfazed by the professor’s words. "But there is nothing that we can do right now to avoid them. At the moment that we entered this forest, I am sure that the Covenant of the Immortals had already detected us. Even if we leave right now, the Covenant might pursue us. Since we have no choice but to stay here, then the best thing that we can do was to just wait for them to come here."
"Are you crazy Alina? Do you know how dangerous this could be?" Professor Frances said as she stared intently at Alina. "If you let them catch us here, it might not end good for us! In my opinion, we should run awa-"
"Professor Frances, has it never crossed your mind that the Main Mission could be related to the Covenant of Immortals?" Alina suddenly said, interrupting Professor Frances’ fiery words. "Did it ever cross your mind that meeting with these people could actually be of great help to us?"
"Oh. You are talking about that."
"With the worlds that we have already visited, I have already seen a pattern." Alina said as she crossed her arms. "I noticed that the Main Mission was always related to the powerful factions in the worlds that we visit. Our mission at the Superhuman World? It is related to the Pantheon, the strongest Hero Team there. As for the mission at the Four Moons world? Even if it is not yet finished, you can already say that the mission there is linked to the Three Factions...."
"..."
"Professor Frances, you could understand what I am saying, right?" Alina said as she tilted her head.
The smugness in Alina’s voice was audible, and it served to irritate the professor a little.
"Of course I can. I am not a dumb b***h." The professor replied as she let out a tsk. "Basically, you are saying that in each world that we visit, the Main Mission usually is related to the strongest forces in that world..."
"So does that mean that you already understand why I wanted to meet the Covenant of Immortals?" Alina replied as she smiled at Professor Frances.
"I can understand it now, but that does not mean that I am happy about it." Professor Frances said as she shook her head. "So what if we see them later? Are you sure that they won’t attack us? Alina, those people are also sly and shrewd! They could just attack us even before we see them! Do you see it Alina? The point that I am trying to make here?"
"Well, we don’t have to worry about those kind of things happening here, since we have Alex with us." Alina replied confidently.
"Alina, Alex is still asleep now! What if those people come in right now? Do you think Alex can do something about it?"
"Ah don’t worry about that too. From what I can remember, Alex is bound to wake up any second now." Alina replied as she sat back on her chair. She then leaned back on the wall as she gave a sideways glance at Alex. "Any second now."
"..."
Queen Mother, who was quiet on the entirety of the argument between Alina and Professor Frances, opened her mouth as she thought that waiting for Alex to wake up is just a waste of time here.
But at the moment that Queen Mother was about to talk, Alex’s eyelids, which were extremely still earlier, started to tremble.
A moment later, and the trembling stopped as Alex’s eyes opened.
His breathing, which was slow and steady earlier, was now picking up as the man himself greedily took in huge gulps of air for himself.
Alex’s body, which was laid still earlier, was now moving fluidly as he suddenly stood up.
At the moment that he stood up, a whooshing sound was heard inside the room as the energy from the surroundings started to gather towards Alex’s body.
An aura of extreme vitality and life could be felt from Alex’s body right now, which was a direct contrast to the sickly feeling that he emanated earlier.
Alex, who was wearing a gloomy expression earlier, was now wearing a full smile on his face as he beamed at the three women in front of him.
"..."
No matter which way you look at it, Alex can be said to be awake now and back in full health.
"Yo. Good morning to all of you. Or should I say good afternoon?" Alex said as he tilted his head. He then stretched his arms behind him as he let out a yawn. "Man, that was such a good sleep! If possible, I want to sleep that way again next time!"
".."
"What’s the matter you three? Why do you all look like you were all about to pounce at me?"
"...Alex, it’s a good thing that you are awake already." Alina said as she did her best to hide the relief on her face. She somewhat failed, as her voice cracked as she talked to Alex. "We need your help right now."
"Oh?"
It was at that point that Alex saw the 5 cocoon stretched out imperceptibly on the floor. As Alex’s eyes landed on these cocoons, he started nodding while saying,
"Of course something like this will happen while I am asleep..."
Alex then spent the next minute muttering to himself as he paced around the cocoons.
After making 69 rotations around the cocoons, Alex looked back at Alina and the two other women as he said,
"Um, so can you then tell me everything that happened? I need to know everything already..."
**************
30 MINUTES LATER
"Oh! Now I understand why I felt uneasy when we entered this forest!" Alex exclaimed as he cracked his knuckles. "So a powerful organization could have detected our arrival, and they could be going at this place any second now? Now that’s just something else!"
"Alex, you-"
"Man, and this place actually has Immortal Cultivation in it? Hahaha! I like this world already!" Alex continued talking, this time with sparkles in his eyes. "I wonder how much cultivation would cost? Surely it will be expensive."
"Oh hooman, I assure you, Immortal Cultivation will be expensive." Asteria, who has now run out of her honey stock, said as she hovered behind Alex. "Why, do you want to buy it?"
"Hell yes I am! I had always wanted to be an Immortal Cultivator!" Alex replied before Alina could complain. "But how much is it anyway?"
"Oh, before you purchase the new Items, you must be informed about the Main Mission first." Asteria cheekily said as she laughed at Alex. "After all, we cannot allow you to buy stuff without knowing things!"
"Eh?"
"Finally! You are talking now!"
"Ehem." Asteria let out a cough as she ignored Alex’s disappointed face and Alina’s relieved expression. She then crossed her arms as she slowly said,
"So, the Main Mission for you guys in this world will be special. For the first time, you four will have to choose between two missions!"
"Choose between two missions?" Before Alex and Alina could make sense of what Asteria just said, Asteria continued talking, this time with her serious Guide Voice.
[[[MAIN MISSION A: ERADICATE THE REBELS AND HELP THE GREAT TIME MASTER TO BECOME THIS WORLD’S UNDISPUTED RULER.]]]
[[[MAIN MISSION B: HELP THE REBELS TO OVERTHROW THE GREAT TIMEMASTER AND FREE THIS WORLD FROM HIS NEFARIOUS HOLD]]]
[[[NOTE: THE TRAVELER CAN ONLY CHOOSE EITHER MISSION A OR MISSION B. THE TRAVELER CANNOT CHOOSE BOTH MISSIONS. TIME LIMIT WILL BE ONE YEAR.]]]
"What?"
"So what do you think hoomans? Your trip to this world is surely interesting, right?"
