Chapter 643 Voyage of Two Souls
PRIMODIAL SERPENT REALM
SECTOR 69
"Wooosh!"
Through the vast emptiness of space, where conditions for life is not suitable for many, the absence of living creatures is already the norm.
The conditions here in space does not allow many creatures to survive, and those who do are rare exceptions.
Void Prowlers, Space Marshals, and species of Cosmic Animals are the majority of the creatures that could live in space, but even they are picky on where they live.
In fact, out of the 100 Sectors in the Primordial Serpent Realm, only 10 has the proper habitat for these spacefaring beings.
Sector 69 is not one of these Sectors, which meant that its vacuum-only space should only have lifeless rocks and floating debris
But today, something else was present at this Sector, something that is different from the norm.
"Woosh!"
A massive, metallic skinned flying capsule was hurtling through Sector 69’s empty space at an overwhelming speed, creating buffets of energy that spread out everywhere.
These energy waves casually destroyed the nearby asteroids and space rocks, turning the whole area into a dust-filled choke room.
Such amount of dust will be enough to derail or even destroy most flying vehicles, but the metallic capsule seem to be not affected by it.
It just flew straight through the debris and dust as if they were nothing.
"Woosh~"
The sight of this flying capsule is enough to awe anyone that can see it, as its sleek appearance and momentum makes it look like an unstoppable overlord.
However, to those who knew exactly what this flying capsule is, they will know that the most impressive thing about this capsule is its insides.
More specifically, the objects that it contains.
"Okay... my one-year training as a Cosmic Guard has already ended. Today is my first mission, so don’t f**k it up! My debts have been paid already, so I should not do anything to increase it!"
Inside the flying capsule, a suited female could be seen, sitting on what looked like to be a pilot chair.
She was the source of the voice that was just heard inside the capsule, and there is nothing else there that can produce this sound.
"I already trained a lot, so my experience should have been enough. Yes, I have a lot of training, so this mission should be easy for me!"
Because her body was covered in what appeared to be spacesuit, her whole appearance could not be seen.
However, her melodious voice and graceful movements is enough to show that this woman is someone who was cultured and refined.
With these traits, those who will see this female at this point will surely be smitten with just her voice alone.
[[Hey, hey, hey, Wisteria, don’t sound so strict to yourself. Your mission today is just easy, so why don’t you just calm down and let this ship run? Worrying about things that might not happen yet will not be good for you.]]
Aside from the voice of this graceful woman, another voice could be heard, one which came from a female too.
Unlike the first voice, the second voice sounded much more arrogant and proud, as if the speaker was a woman who was born with a lot of riches in her life.
Such voice will be enough to irritate anyone, even those who were mild-mannered and kind.
"...."
Hearing this voice should be a problem by itself, but here was something else about this second voice that made it worse.
And that was the fact that this second voice did not come out of any other person.
The second voice also came out from the graceful woman, making the whole situation look confusing.
One woman was actually speaking in two different voices, a scenario that technically, should not have been possible.
But hey, this is the Multiverse, so a lot of weird things will usually happen...
"How the hell can I stay calm, Astria? Today is my first mission! I I mess this up, I might not get promoted!" The first voice sounded out, with the irritation inside it plainly obvious. "Do you know how bad that is? Of course you don’t, you’re just a freeloader in my body anyway."
[[Hey! Who are you calling a freeloader huh, Wisteria? ]] The second voice duly replied back, with the same level of irritation as the first one. [[Are you calling me one? Oh my god, you’re just-]]
"You, you’re a freeloader, Astria. What did you even do to help me out during my training, huh? Tell me, so that you can prove me wrong."
[[....]]]
Judging by the conversation that was happening, the two voices appeared to have a name of their own.
The first voice seemed to pertain to a person named Wisteria, while the second voice was that of a person named Astria.
Since there is no one inside the ship except for the graceful woman, it is hard to confirm if the words that she said were right.
But even if there were a person inside the ship, maybe that person will just cower in the corner, as the argument between ’Wisteria’ and ’Astria’ just continued to escalate.
"Hahaha, why are you so silent, Astria? Can’t you even say one thing?"’Wisteria’ shouted out gleefully. "Come on, I am waiting!"
[[...W-well, I am giving you advice every time you face a problem in your training. And I also give you advice about your powers!]] Like a rat cornered in a trap, the flustered ’Astria’ gave this hasty reply. [[Shouldn’t that be enough?]]
"Enough? Astria, you only help me when I give you money! How the hell can you call that help? You’re just profiting out of me!"
[[Hey Wisteria! What do you expect me to do, huh? Just help you out because I want to? Come on, my soul is the one stuck inside your body, so I am the one suffering here! Hmph, you’re lucky that I am still helping you out, because if I could, I would not have done anything to assist you...]]
"Oh... so you’re saying that now, Astria. Hmph, if that’s what you want, then so be it! During this first mission, I would not ask you for your help! Are you fine with that?"
[[Of course I am fine, Wisteria. Let’s see if you can now be independent, just like what you have been boasting earlier...]]
"Tsk, you don’t need to remind me of that, Astria. I will show you that I can do this by myself, so just stay in the sidelines and watch!"
[[...]]
Just as fast as their argument started, it quickly ended too, as the two voices had reached their agreement.
The voices then went silent, making the whole ship plunge into silence.
"...."
[[...]]]
"...."
[[....]]
With the way that things are going, it seems that peace has been already established inside the ship.
But just a few seconds after they stopped talking, the two voices began speaking out again, with ’Astria’ leading it.
[[Hey Wisteria, your mission is about investigating a planet suspected to be corrupted by the Abyss, right?]] ’Astria’ asked, with some traces of worry present on her voice. [[Are you sure that this should be your mission? Investigating things related to the Abyss is dangerous, so-]]
"Tsk, why are you even worrying for me, Astria? Even if this planet is corrupted by the Abyss, it cannot just do anything to me. We can just escape, you know. How hard can it be?"’Wisteria’ said, with her voice soundling like she was not worried at all. "It’s not like I will be easily corrupted by the Abyss or anything..."
[[Sigh, Wisteria. You may be feeling proud of yourself, but this is the Abyss we’re talking about. You of all people should know how dangerous it is. You remember your experience with Alex, right? That man is just a trickled-down version of the dangers of the Abyss. This planet that you’re going to? This will be the real danger!]]
"Ugh, don’t remind me about Alex at this point, Wisteria. It’s just making my mood worse. Did you not forget about our agreement? We will not talk about Alex unless necessary..."
[[Astria, even at this time you’re still worried about that? Come on, what you should be worried right now is your first mission! If you fail here, you will be taken by the Abyss!]]
"I know that, Wisteria, so just shut up and let me do my thing, ok? As long as you stay silent, I am sure that I can do this mission without a hitch."
[[Heh, so you think I will be the one that will make you fail? Good luck then, Wisteria. Let’s see if your ’wits’ and ’guts’ can help you against the Abyss....]]
"Hey! Why are you sounding like you’re giving me a threat, huh?"
[[...]]
"Hey Astria, answer me!"
[[....]]]
"Of course she will not answer. That’s just how this b***h is....
[[....]]
"...."
[[...]]
"...."
Whatever the conversation between ’Wisteria’ and ’Astria’ meant, the former seem to not care about it anymore as she stopped conversing to the latter.
She just shook her head as she resumed driving the ship, with her suit now sticking closely to her body.
"Sigh, I hope that this planet will not be corrupted that badly. That way, I can still convert those residents back to their normal form...."’Wisteria’ idly thought to herself while sighing. "But can I really do it? Even against the might of the Abyss?"
"Sigh..."
An aura of hopelessness can be felt from her body at this point, which just made her latest words sound more like a desperate wish rather than a positive outlook.
"Ugh, I should really stop wishing for things to just happen. If I want to finish this mission, then I must do it with all my might!"
As if she was forcing herself to sound positive, Wisteria tried her best to cheer herself up.
This attempt of course failed, as she knew the risks of her current mission.
Failing is the least worse thing that can happen to Wisteria if she fails on this mission. As for what is the worst that can happen, even Wisteria is not sure of that.
"...."
Such fact dampened her mood more, to the point that her worries felt like they were tangible objects.
"Sigh, what did I do to deserve this mission? I could have done other things, but why this? Argh!! This sucks!"
