Chapter 424 Ignorance is Bliss, after all

Chapter 424 Ignorance is Bliss, after all

"Sigh... If General Glaivewood had indeed come from the Monster World, then that means that Emperor Litch had managed to also get his claws on their planet. Tsk, this is just getting worse and worse..." Alex thought to himself as he snatched back his valuables from the loot pile. "If he had gotten his hands on the Essence Humans that thrived in that World, then it’s already given that he will gain more knowledge about magic itself! F**k!"

If Alex could kick something right now, he could have done it already, as he knew that the more that Emperor Litch gets stronger, the harder it will be for Alex to win against him.

Of course Alex knew that his main goal in this world was to obtain the Legacy Weapon of the Infernal Monarch, as this was his Main Mission. But deep inside him, he knew that a fight between him and Emperor Litch is inevitable.

"With everything that I have done against that man, I am sure that he is itching to kill me already. Not only that, but I have the inkling that the Legacy Weapon is being coveted by that Emperor too." Alex thought to himself as he kept his face neutral. "Since these were the case, then fighting against him is already a given. The only thing that I should worry about is on how this fight will happen."

As Alex formed this thought in his mind, he could not help but grit his teeth, as he realized that the presence of General Glaivewood is a sign of worse things that could come.

"Since General Glaivewood is already in this world, then there is a chance that other Generals are here in this world too." Alex thought with anger as his eyes twitched. "Maybe their presence is the reason why it is dangerous for me to use the full extent of my power. If I used my Sixth Stage Power here, those hidden Generals will surely notice me. Once that happens, they will try to attack and even kill me."

Alex let out a snort at this point as his eyes blazed, with him not trying to hide the anger that had against Emperor Litch. "That damned man... These Generals must have been the security measure that he will use against me... Tsk, so instead of using schemes, he had decided to extinguish me with brute force? How typical of him."

"Tsk. So does this mean that I have to act more low-key now?" As he reached this conclusion, Alex could not help but feel aggrieved. All the efforts that he did for the past month seemed to be going the drain already, and it appeared like there was no way for him to save it now.

"No, all hope is not yet lost! I still have a chance to continue my plans! All I need... is the proper timing!" Alex roared inwardly as he made a mental slap to himself. "I just have to time my next step with the arrival of the Cosmic Guards. At the moment that those people arrive in this world, the attention of all the Generals will surely be focused on them. Once that happens, I can swoop in to obtain the contents of the Institute’s storage vault!"

At the mention of this vault, Alex’s eyes flashed for a second before he let out a deep breath. He appeared to be weighing his options regarding this vault, although it was obvious that he still desires to obtain it.

This vault, which was Alex’s second goal in the Institute, was the very thing that he had been craving to obtain already. Inside it were the things that in Alex’s opinion, will allow him to liberate this world from Emperor Litch.

He only has to acquire the objects inside it, and his path to victory can be said to be assured already.

Well, that victory will only be assured if he can get his hands on the vault.

"The matter regarding Jellarmo is a big issue that the Cosmic Guards cannot just ignore. Even if Jellarmo was sighted here in the territory of the Undying Empire, the Cosmic Guards will ignore the sovereignty rules and they will still come here with overwhelming force." Alex mussed to himself as he started to follow the walking Wisteria.

"So in my estimations, the Cosmic Guards will arrive in this place in at least 12 hours, give or take 2 hours. That time... is the only time that I have left before everything turns chaotic."

At this point, Alex tried his best to psyche himself up. Even though he knew that what will happen later will be extremely dangerous, as the presence of the powerful Generals is something that threatens his life, Alex will still go on with his plans.

"This is the only way that I can assert my presence in this world, and in my opinion, this is the best thing that I can do to obtain the Legacy Weapon." Alex muttered inwardly as he and Wisteria started to fly towards the spaceship.

The spaceship was still stuck in the air, as if it had lost any capabilities to fly down. Maybe something inside it had been broken, or the passengers inside the ship were incapacitated in some way, which leaves them unable to do anything.

Alex can confirm that it was the latter, as his limited scan showed him that all the Purple Skins inside the ship were unconscious.

He knew that it was the attack made by General Glaivewood that had knocked these people out, as this was the only attack that made its way across the ship.

As his mind wandered at this attack, Alex narrowed his eyes as he remembered the sensation of the black light beam hitting his nail.

"Tsk, that attack carries the power of a Sixth Stage Being. That’s the only reason that he was able to damage the nail that I used to hack the ship." Alex thought to himself as his virtual body began to idly scratch the tip of its index finger, which has now regained the nail that it threw out earlier.

"Damn, that attack of his is really strong. If I did not disintegrate my nail on time, then he could have damaged it more." Alex continued to think to himself as he reeled his virtual body inside him. His soul started to hum as his virtual body mixed with it, giving Alex a feeling of clarity that he had been craving for since earlier.

"With that kind of power, it will be a little hard for me to defeat or even kill him. But as long as I use my plans right, I can kill any of those Generals easily!" As he thought of these, Alex began to hold the doors of the ship, with him and Wisteria attempting to pull it out of its hinge.

"Creak..."

Under the combined power of Alex and Wisteria, the exit doors of the ship began to tremble for a second, before it was fully yanked out by the two.

At the moment that this happened, the other teachers began to enter the ship, heading quickly towards the ship’s lobby area.

Alex naturally followed this rush, with him only observing the others discretely.

The unconscious bodies of the Purple Skins were discovered shortly after, which made the teachers look at the scene with slight panic.

"Oh god! They’re still alive, but they’re barely breathing!" Alex promptly said as he tried to act like a panicking bystander. "What should we do to them now?’

"Of course we have to help them, you dolt." Wisteria replied succinctly as she gave Alex a glare. From the way that she glared at Alex, it was obvious that Wisteria was somewhat irritated with what Alex just said.

Maybe it was the fact that Alex was acting like an idiot which made Wisteria feel like this.

"...Yeah, we have to help them." Alex replied as he looked at the other teachers. "So what do you think? Should we take these people out and bring them down to the ground? I think that is the only way that we can help them."

"That’s a good call, Mister Alexander. We shall do that immediately." One of the teachers said as she began walking towards the Purple Skins. She then waved her hands in the air, creating a Symbols Matrix that began dragging some of the Purple Skins towards her. "Come on, we should not waste time here. Who knows what will happen if we stay here. Maybe Jellarmo is still here and he might try something to us..."

These words had spurned the other teachers to make an action too.

In no time at all, everyone inside the spaceship had been successfully rescued, with only the spaceship left floating in the air. Now, all of the Purple Skins were placed inside the infirmary, with doctors and the teachers themselves monitoring these aliens intently.

Alex was one of these monitoring teachers, and he was currently eating an apple. He was also staring intently at one of the Purple Skins in the infirmary, and some tinges of desire could be seen on his eyes as he continued to stare.

"This Purple Skinned Human... he was the spy that sent the message to the Cosmic Guards earlier." Alex thought to himself as he continued on staring at this Purple Skinned Human. "Hur hur hur, since he was their spy, then he must have a lot of good stuff with him. Hmm... I wonder what these stuff could be."

As he reached this line of thought, Alex began to feel more excited as he continued to eat his apple. By this point, there was only a bite left before he can finish the apple, and Alex did not hold back as he plunged it whole into his mouth.

"This guy... he won’t get angry if I stole his stuff, right?" Alex thought to himself mischievously as he began to slowly approach the spy. "Well, as long as he doesn’t know that I stole from him, then he will never get angry at me. Ignorance is bliss, after all."
