Chapter 1114: Original Slate

Ding——!

The elevator reached the top floor. In the crisp tinkle of the elevator bell, its doors opened gradually and three people exited it. They wore incongruous attires and were clad in fully-sealed helmets. It went without saying that they attracted the attention of the guards quickly. The guards turned around, raised their weapons, and aimed at the uninvited guests. But it was a pity that they were too slow.

Boom——!

Mini Bubble Gum emanated a snowy and dazzling light beam from her palm that blasted in the powerful winds. The immense shock waves flooded the entire corridor. Before the soldiers pulled the trigger, they were swept away like fish in a river, crashing heavily on the wall and losing consciousness.

“Hahaha, it has begun. YEAH!”

Facing the enemies, even though Mini Bubble Gum also belonged to the category of ‘earthlings’, she didn’t hold back at all. Perhaps to her, these ‘earthlings’ were the same as ‘NPCs’ in the Dragon Soul Continent. Well, such wasn’t an isolated case. For instance, children who were addicted to online games and couldn’t distinguish between reality and virtual-reality became cognitively impaired. Or perhaps, ordinary people who suddenly possessed special abilities. Since I have powerful abilities, that makes me special and ordinary people are ants that should all perish.

Well, considering Mini Bubble Gum’s crazy ‘adolescence syndrome’, it wasn’t surprising for her to react this way.

The sirens trumpeted.

This location was extremely close to the control center and due to this reason, the number and quality of guards were extraordinary. Shortly after, everyone heard loud, heavy footsteps that were from soldiers clad in thick, heavy steel armor and lifting large machine guns.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shortly after, the heavy machine guns opened fire. The trio immediately witnessed several streaks of red radiance as blazing heat and a menacing energy blasted at them. If they were ordinary humans, perhaps they would have exploded into bits in the blink of an eye without leaving behind corpses. Even though they didn’t know what weapons they were, judging from their appearance and powerful rate of fire, it was apparent that they weren’t ordinary ones.

However, they weren’t ordinary people either.

“Fia.”

Canary extended her arm, drawing the shape of a ‘4’ in midair elegantly with her slender finger. A blue radiance appeared in the trail of her movement, outlining a beautiful and graceful magical radiance. At the next moment, the surging air in the corridor gathered toward the trio as though they were attracted by an invisible force, turning into what seemed to be an extremely fragile defensive shield that was weaker than glass. But it was this shield that resisted the howitzer-like bombardment.

“…!”

A series of ear-deafening explosions erupted. But at the same time, a bright, dazzling bird expanded its wings all of a sudden from the dense smoke and soared skyward like a splendid, elegant wind elf. Upon witnessing the Spirit Bird, the soldiers were flabbergasted. They gazed blankly at this beautiful existence and didn’t know how to react. But also due to this reason, they lost their only chance.

Because then, the Spirit Bird had expanded its wings and emanated countless lightning and thunder bolts that engulfed the entire corridor. Shortly after, the bright lamps hanging over the corridor stopped working abruptly, leaving the place in total darkness and silence for a few seconds. When the lights came back, the soldiers who were fully prepared for combat had already lost consciousness and collapsed. Within just two minutes, all resistance from them had fallen apart.

“Sigh…. how should it put it… it’s just so boring.”

Curling her lips and looking down upon the soldiers laying across the ground, Mini Bubble Gum grumbled boringly. Upon hearing her complaint, Rhode didn’t say a word. In fact, she wasn’t exaggerating. Even though a child younger than five years old could easily use a gun to kill a strong adult due to the technological and civilizational advancement in their world, it was ultimately an external force, after all. Apart from that, humans didn’t evolve and gain incredible ‘mental powers’. At the very most, they could work on their physical bodies and it didn’t involve the activation of so-called ‘gene lock’ or awaken some ‘unknown powers’. To put it bluntly, even though guards in this base were experienced soldiers, there was still a limit to their physical strength. In fact, even if Lize were here to exchange punches with the guards, she was bound to win without using spiritual powers because a body containing spiritual powers against a body without spiritual powers was as though steel against wood. Lize might seem gentle and delicate, but if the guards were to hurl a punch at her face, perhaps they might break their hand while Lize wouldn’t feel anything.

Moreover, even though technology was advanced in this world, there were still flaws in them and it was apparent from the fact that Rhode’s Spirit Bird eliminated the entire defensive line effortlessly. In fact, Rhode also felt bored and somewhat disappointed. He expected this world to be much more terrifying. But it seemed like he could accomplish his goal easily without his dragon soul powers. Besides, he didn’t need to be overly concerned about Erin’s safety in this case. With the moon princess’s strength and wisdom, only in a dream would it be possible to contain her even with a hundred times more soldiers.

But even so, Rhode still had some doubts.

Why here?

Frankly, he didn’t expect to return to Earth. This was because he had discussed the issue with the Creator Dragons earlier and they clearly explained the situation to him, which was why he didn’t think that what connected to the Dragon Soul Continent was his hometown. But it seemed like everything had changed. So, what was the exact cause behind it? Could this be a conspiracy of the Creator Dragons?

Rhode didn’t think so because it was unnecessary, unless they had some differences in individual goals. But based on the current situation, the other Creator Dragons seemed to be more satisfied with their lives on Earth. Apart from that, there was also another important point: the region where Rhode’s group was located now.

Back then, the Creator Dragons created the game and company in Rhode’s country. In other words, if they had some conspiracies behind his back, they should be related to that country and shouldn’t be in the Americas Region that was a thousand miles away. After all, in terms of strength and every other aspect, Southeast Asia was more dominant. Besides, Rhode didn’t think that with the Creator Dragons’ abilities, they were approving of the Americas Region.

But there was also another possibility: the Creator Dragons were unaware of this at all!

This fact was hard to accept, but after Rhode discussed the matter with his younger sister, he realized this was apparently more in line with the truth because as the core of the entire project, even his younger sister didn’t know why these people suddenly possessed the abilities and techniques to connect to the Dragon Soul Continent that was wrapped within Chaos. In this case, it wasn’t too strange that the other Creator Dragons weren’t aware of it… but was it possible?

But it didn’t matter which was the truth. Rather than making empty guesses, Rhode might as well move forward and would definitely find out the truth.

“Is this the place?”

“Yes, Big Brother. I sense familiar waves of energy ahead. But this energy seems to be sealed… I can’t be sure, but I’m certain that it should be the key as to why we were able to return to this place…”

“I got it.”

After hearing his younger sister’s answer, Rhode gave a short reply. He extended his hand, held the hilt on his waist, and entered through the metallic doors ahead in large strides. The metallic doors were heavily-guarded on the outside. Even though the soldiers were lying across the floor, the machine guns and defensive mechanisms were still functioning. But everything was useless against Rhode. He stood before the metallic doors with his right hand clutching the sword. Then, he flourished the blade.

Several dazzling, crisscrossed blade rays flashed before him. In the blink of an eye, the heavy metallic doors disintegrated. Looking at this scene, Mini Bubble Gum curled her lips, before speaking in admiration.

“Sigh… it seems like reality is so much better. I thought we needed to run around searching for keys or passwords like in that damn game… Ahhhh, thinking about it makes me mad every time. What else can those developers do other than making players waste time running around!”

Boom!

As though agreeing with Mini Bubble Gum’s complaints, the metallic doors crumbled to the ground instantly and revealed the hidden space behind it.

“What… is that?”

Gazing ahead, not only was Mini Bubble Gum widening her eyes in astonishment, but Canary also knitted her brows in doubt. After all, from their standpoint, there was nothing special about the black slate hovering and spinning constantly in midair. Even Rhode felt like the slate wasn’t anything unique at all. But shortly after, he heard the frantic voice of his younger sister.

“How is it possible? Why is it here?!”

“You know what it is?”

“Yes, Big Brother…”

His younger sister seemed really agitated. Upon hearing Rhode’s question, she pondered in silence for a few moments, before calming herself down and speaking.

“That is… the original record and what was once the Dragon Soul Continent’s monument of creation: the Akashic Slate!”
