Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 778 Lunch Time!!!

If Alex were to realize this fact, he would surely be acting cautious, even in his current state.

After all, a being who can easily destroy planets who can also keep itself hidden, is a powerhouse nearing the level of a Transcendent Being.

[[Hurk.... Did I destroy too many planets again while I talked? Dear me, I really have to limit my power here, or else these pesky Travelers could discover me...]]

In fact, judging by its aura and its life force alone, one can even say that this creature had already went beyond the Half-Step Transcendent Level, and that it is only one step away from achieving the elusive Transcendent Level.

[[Okay, okay, okay. Just follow the meditation guides given by Master, and you will be able to keep your life force hidden...]]

[[Just breathe and breathe.... And your great power shall remain veiled from their eyes...]]

That kind of power level is horrifying on its own, and the fact that it is near Alex should warrant more levels of worry.

[[Breathe... breathe... breathe...]]

[[Breathe... breathe... breathe...]]

[[Breathe... breathe... breathe...]]

A creature with this kind of power will always have a hidden agenda with all its actions, and its mere presence inside the Ancestral Tomb shows that it is up to something

The fact that it tries its best to keep itself hidden is a major clue alone, and its efforts to stay this way makes it more apparent.

[[Breathe... breathe... breathe...]]

As for what the creature’s goals are, it will only be discovered once it decides to reveal them.

Which the creature has no intention of doing, hence its efforts to say hidden.

[[Breathe... breathe... breathe...]]

Or so what the creature wanted to happen, but just a few seconds after it started is meditation, it quickly realized the futility of its hiding state.

[[Brea-..... Hurk, I think I just messed up. Yes, I just messed up.]]

[[I don’t think I can continue hiding anymore. Yes, I can’t hide anymore....]]

[[Hurk!]]

[[Hurk... I am getting hungry.... Hungry...]]

[[So hungry...]]

*********************

DURING THE SAME TIME

SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE ANCESTRAL TOMB.

While the hidden creature began to lament something about its situation, the people that it was watching continued on with their actions.

This naturally included Professor Frances, who was just a few moments’ away from escaping from Alex.

"I have no reason to stay here anymore, so I think I will just leave you be Alex. Whether you want to chase me or not will just depend on your body."

With her life possibly on the line, Professor Frances did not waste any of her remaining power on useless matters. She poured it all on her body, which gave her the maximum speed she needed to further distance herself.

"Well, I’d rather want you to stop moving, since I have no way of accommodating you anymore. But I don’t think I have to wish for that to happen, since you look like you are unable to move from your spot..."

"̵̬̩̅͠k̵̛̤̬l̴͈͗̚ ḑ̴͗̌j̸͙̔͛ f̵͉̅l̷̲̥̀ k̵̝̔d̷̨̛̰͂ s̷͖̈́͝ j̷̧̑͑ạ̵͖́f̶̺͖͋̉ ĺ̶̰̹͛k̶̤̍̃!̵̻̑"̷͎̐̐ "̵̬̩̅͠k̵̛̤̬l̴͈͗̚ ḑ̴͗̌j̸͙̔͛ f̵͉̅l̷̲̥̀

"Well, even if you could move, you are too crazy right now to even think of chasing me..."

"̵̬̩̅͠k̵̛̤̬l̴͈͗̚ ḑ̴͗̌j̸͙̔͛ f̵͉̅l̷̲̥̀ k̵̝̔d̷̨̛̰͂ s̷͖̈́͝ j̷̧̑͑ạ̵͖́f̶̺͖͋̉ ĺ̶̰̹͛k̶̤̍̃!̵̻̑"̷͎̐̐ "̵̬̩̅͠k̵̛̤̬l̴͈͗̚ ḑ̴͗̌j̸͙̔͛ f̵͉̅l̷̲̥̀

"Okay, I guess this is goodbye for now Alex, and I’d rather have it stay this way until you turn back to normal..."

Ignoring the maddened mutters coming from Alex, the professor said her parting words with little care for him, with the former already shooting away from the latter.

"Swoosh!"

She did not look back as she left, in fears that seeing Alex’s visage could trigger a bad end for her.

But she still stopped for a second, as she suddenly remembered something in her current encounter.

"Sigh, I really don’t want to go now, since I also want to obtain that True God Artifact... "

"After all, that is one of our main objectives here in the Ancestral Tomb, and Alex had just injured one enough that even someone like me could take it for myself."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Hmph, I just have to touch that soul, and that artifact could be mine now!"

The sudden recollection of the mountain-like True God Artifact almost made the professor want to go back to her current foe, but the presence of an enraged Alex quickly made her recollect herself

"Urgh, I already am close to dying because of seeing Alex, and I still want to come back for the True God Artifact? Tsk, I am a big idiot!"

"..."

"If I want to do that, then I should just do it when I think it is safe!"

"..."

"Tsk, maybe I could just come back here later? Maybe Alex would be gone from this place at that time..."

"..."

"Yes, I should definitely try doing that."

"But for now, I should just focus on escaping first..."

Afraid that her memories would make her stop again, Professor Frances has decided to empty her thoughts as she continued her hastened escape.

"Engaging mind blank protocols."

"Mind is now fully empty."

"Engaging full autonomous actions."

"Autonomous actions fully functional."

"Resuming intended escape action."

She even sealed her mind and she resolutely shut her mental functions down, with her brain now only focused on physical movements alone.

"ETA before safe departure: 3 seconds"

"ETA before safe departure: 2 seconds"

"ETA before safe departure: 1 second"

This action proved to be a beneficial one, as just a few seconds later, the professor found herself almost free from the range of Alex’s ability.

Just a little more boosts from her legs are needed, and Frances could consider herself safe from the danger.

"ETA before safe departure, 0.5 seconds."

"ETA before safe departure, 0.2 seconds."

At this point, Professor Frances found her body willingly relaxing, as she knew that she was about to get a few moments of rest that she deeply needed since earlier.

"ETA before safe departure, 0.1 seconds."

These few moments of rest will help her recover mentally, and it will also give her time for the next phases of her plans.

"ETA before safe departure, 0.08 seconds."

"ETA before safe departure, 0.05 seconds."

With only a few microseconds left on her clock, Professor Frances was already sure of her victory.

Just a little more waiting, and she will have time to contact her allies.

Just a little more wait, and she can....

"ETA before safe departure, 0.-"

[[I am sorry little Travelers! I should be hiding from you right now, but I can’t take it anymore!]]

[[I am so hungry, and I need to eat someone in this place!]]

"Hostile force against Professor Frances has been detected.

"ETA before safe departure can no longer apply."

"Disengaging full autonomous functions."

" Disengaging mind blank protocols."

[[Lunch time! Lunch time! Lunch time!]]

"Full autonomous functions disengaged."

"Mind blank protocols disengaged."

[[Lunch time! Lunch time! Lunch time!]]

"Argh! Now what is the f**king problem?"
