Chapter 197: Prelude to War 13
Naomi had arrived on Mount Everest. She was floating above the crater and scanned the area around her.
Even though the cloud was gathering above her and there was even a hint of a blizzard coming, Naomi was not affected at all as she surrounded her body with her Telekinesis and Adjusted her body with Adjustment to withstand the change around her in an instant.
The internet stated that the crater was created at the former summit of Mount Everest and was filled with dangerous materials, but
This is different from what I heard, Naomi muttered as she looked down at the crater.
There was indeed a big crater in the middle of Mount Everest that looked like a giant was scooping Mount Everest with a big spoon.
However, the dangerous materials stated on the internet were nowhere to be seen. There were a lot of people in worker outfits operating big machines to scoop down the Mountain.
Not only that, there were a lot of buildings that looked like a factory. One building looked different from the rest; it was a white mansion located on the edge of a crater, surrounded by snow.
At that moment, Naomi understood one thing. The crater was not created by high-ranked Esper fighting each other; machines and the greediness of humans created it.
What a joke.
She was disappointed. She thought she would be able to see a trace from the pastthe trace of battles between Espers that created the said crater.
But reality betrayed her once more. There was no battle; it was not even the work of nature.
It was the work of humans.
I shouldve known it beforehand. I shouldnt believe the information on the internet. There are a lot of hoaxes on the website to attract visitors.
Naomi sighed and put her hands on her hip. She scanned the area around Mount Everest and found a single SS-Ranked Esper and around 10 S-Ranked Esper on the mansion-like building.
Hmm Does that pressure belong to the executive? Pondered Naomi as she narrowed her eyes toward the mansion.
She was not sure as she had never met the executive besides Lucilla before, but her feeling said that the SS-Ranked Esper who was inside the mansion was surely one of the executives of the Esper Association.
Once again, Naomi pulled out her holo phone. She looked at her phone and sighed once again.
There were a lot of messages coming from Scammer, the one who stole Hyun-Woos phone.
The scammer even called her Princess. The messages were about asking her location or what she did right now.
He even mentioned some names, such as Chi and Melaine, which made her furrowed her brows.
This scammer I want to block him, but I wont be able to track him using GPS if I do that. There is no other choice
Muttering to herself, Naomi answered the scammers message back.
Mount Everest. Come here if you want to find me. I will definitely beat you for stealing my subordinates phone.
Right after she sent the message, she then shut her holo phone down before putting it into his pocket.
Lets do this. She stretched her hands a little, then descended toward the middle of the crater at a fast speed.
She landed right in the middle and the deepest part of the crater, surrounded by a lot of big machines. The ground under her feet sank a little, and the people who operated the big machines looked at her with confusion.
After a second passed, Naomi raised her head and used her telekinesis to lift all the big machines inside the crater alongside the snow, causing the once white ground to turn into gray color of rocks.
At that moment, they realized Naomis identity even though she now wore a different mask.
Mugetsu is here!
Why is she here?!
I dont care! Run for your life!
The people jumped out of the machines before they got too high. They then ran without even glancing at Naomi.
That was for the better, as Naomi didnt want to hurt civilians as much as possible. Not only that, she had now managed to attract the attention of the Espers inside the mansion.
1 SS-Ranked and 10 S-Ranked I hope they put up a good fight. Naomi grinned under her mask as she watched the Espers approach her from afar.
They were running toward Naomi. One eye-catching figure among them ran in front of the others. That figure belongs to the only SS-Ranked Esper in the group.
When Naomi saw him, her eyes almost popped out because of surprise.
Really? She could only mutter such words.
Because who wouldnt be surprised when they saw that figure. His long hair was fluttering in the sky. However, that was not a problem. The problem was
He has rainbow-colored hair?! Shouted Naomi in surprise.
That figure was a freak.

Meanwhile, in the Germans base.
Hyun-Woo glared at the screen of his holo phone, and Chi was looking at him anxiously.
Mizuki was also in the base, sitting beside Chi. She had finished all her jobs and pushed the remaining ones to her husband.
So, did you get a reply from Naomi yet? Asked Mizuki.
She wanted to contact her by herself, but Naomi didnt bring her usual phone. The one that she brought with her was the one she used to monitor the movement of their operation on Avos Island.
Not yet I have sent a lot of messages to Princess, but she only read one of them without replying. Answered Hyun-Woo.
Eh? Chi let out a small sound. You sent a lot of messages? Are you crazy?
Yes. I mean, I am not crazy. Denied Hyun-Woo as he turned to Chi. She didnt answer my message, and I thought she had forgotten about it. So, I decided to send a lot of messages so she would read one of them.
Chi and Mizuki sighed when they heard Hyun-Woos reasoning.
He had been with Naomi since day one, even before Chi joined the Moon of Akasha.
However, it seemed like he was the densest among the members of the Moon of Akasha. If he had known Naomi for a long time, he mustve known about Naomis personality.
She hated being bothered.
I see you are not crazy after all. Chi said with a smile on her face.
Hyun-Woo gained some confidence when he heard what Chi said to him. However, her next words shocked him.
You are stupid, not crazy.
What?
They then glared at each other while Mizuki was looking at her holo phone. Right now, the employees of Akasa Inc. had tried their best to locate Naomi, and the progress was updated live on Mizukis holo phone.
Naomi Where are you? She muttered in a small voice, clearly worried.
Chi and Hyun-Woo turned to Mizuki and looked at her worriedly.
Dont worry, Mizuki. I believe that Lady Naomi is fine. Appeased Chi. Shes strong after all.
Yes, I hope she will be fine.
Silence then descended on the room, but it was broken by a notification from Hyun-Woos holo phone.
When he heard the notification, he immediately looked at his phone, and then his expression paled. It was a reply from Naomi.
What happened, Hyun-Woo?! Chi raised her voice.
Im dead Muttered Hyun-Woo. His phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
Hey, what happened?! Tell me!
Chi and Mizuki were waiting for Hyun-Woos answer anxiously.
He knew that he needed to tell them. So he gulped and turned to them.
Princess is now on Mount Everest, and she thought that I stole my phone so she will beat me up if I go to that place
Oh well, good luck?
