Summoning the Holy Sword

Chapter 1105: Secret of the Black Slate

Everything exceeded Manny’s expectations. It could also be said that all common sense he had was completely overthrown. He stared blankly at the three young ladies. The experimental lab was in total silence, apart from the painful groans from two soldiers who barely survived. As for the researchers, everyone was eradicated except for Manny. If it weren’t for Manny standing closer to the entrance and getting protected by the three young ladies, perhaps he wouldn’t have escaped tragedy. As for the two soldiers, they were truly fortunate. Even though they hurt themselves to protect Professor Manny from battling the monsters, fortunately for them, the arrival of the three young ladies successfully gathered the attention of the Chaos Beasts away from them right before they were slaughtered, allowing them to flee. However, judging from their ghastly wounds, perhaps they wouldn’t survive for long.

“H-Help...!”

Almost instinctively, one of the soldiers reached his arm out for help. Looking at this reaction, Manny struggled to crawl to his feet, before searching for a first-aid kit frantically. But at this moment, one of the three young ladies curled her lips and waved her right hand casually. Along with her movement, two rays of warm, white light shone from above and enveloped the soldiers. Shortly after, Manny was astounded to witness the bloody, ghastly wound on them recovering before his naked eyes. In the blink of an eye, their injuries were completely healed!

Oh my lord. What exactly is happening?

Not only was Manny astonished, but the two soldiers were also stunned. They were already in utter despair and it was merely their human survival instincts that made them choose to seek help. But to their surprise, their injuries had totally healed? It was like a miracle! Could it be the three young ladies were angels sent from heaven?!

“What exactly... w-wait, what are you trying to do!”

Manny asked after returning to his senses. He was appalled that Erin took the black slate and was about to leave. The startled Manny hurried forward and stopped them.

“T-That’s a very important thing. You...”

“It’s none of your business. Who do you think you are? Get lost! Don’t you know good dogs don’t stand in the way?”

Glaring at Manny who obstructed them, Mini Bubble Gum apparently wasn’t in a good mood. Or perhaps now that this little fella possessed amazing strength, she was using every chance to flaunt. If it were possible, perhaps Mini Bubble Gum might even write the words ‘Stop me and be killed’ on her spacesuit to display her dignity... of course, it was an entirely different matter as to whether such actions full of ‘adolescent delusion’ were useful.

“I’m Manny Hardenson, supervisor of the research department. This is an important asset of the Americas Region—you can’t have it!”

“Tsk, important asset.”

Mini Bubble Gum grunted.

“You don’t even know what it is and you still dare to call it an important asset...”

“Bubble.”

Before Mini Bubble Gum continued, Canary interrupted. Upon hearing Canary’s word, Mini Bubble Gum curled her lips and eventually closed her mouth. Looking at this scene, Manny felt increasingly dubious. He gazed at the three young ladies in bewilderment, totally unaware of who they were. The only thing he felt was that they seemed to have something important to do with the black slate. But before he figured it out, Mini Bubble Gum’s eyes flashed in a mysterious smile all of a sudden. In the blink of an eye, Manny realized his collar was being held and pulled up into the air!

“Fine, since you’re a supervisor, you should know a lot about the black slate. How did you know about it! Where did you dig it from! Answer me! If not...!” Mini Bubble Gum yelled and brandished her right fist. Manny witnessed her tiny fist brushing past his cheek in a powerful gust. Then, a deep ‘boom’ exploded behind him. When he turned around, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes and suck in a breath of cold air—there was a huge hole in the wall.

Are you kidding me?! That wall is made from super alloy and not even missiles are able to leave any trace of damage! But now, a punch from this young lady actually crumbled it?!

Ssss———!

Not only Manny, but the two soldiers also came to a halt immediately. They intended to rescue Professor Manny from the young lady because no matter what, Manny was a high-ranking supervisor and target of protection. But after witnessing the powerful punch from Mini Bubble Gum, they froze to the spot... not even their nanosuit could tolerate a punch like that!

“Speak the truth! Don’t come up with any tricks! You can forget about anyone rescuing you because the control system of this base is in Big Sister Erin’s grasp already!”

“I-I will speak!”

Researchers were not dauntless people. If the three young ladies were ferocious-looking monsters, perhaps Manny might struggle to survive. But the three young ladies were beautiful and had rescued them from monsters. Even though they seemed fiercer now, at least they could be communicated with, unlike the monsters from before! Thereafter, Manny ‘came clean’ to them about the ‘ins and outs’ of the black slate.

That was a really, really long story.

It all began half a century ago. Back then, during an archaeological excavation in the Americas Region, archaeologists uncovered a mysterious, ancient architecture. Even though the ancient architecture seemed like a product of civilization from a long time ago, it recorded extremely advanced civilization and knowledge. After research by archaeologists, they unanimously came to the conclusion that it was a product of extraterrestrial civilization and that made them ecstatic. Not only that, but also in the records of the ruins, they discovered an important detail. The buildings in the extraterrestrial civilization building hid some very important things on the moon. If they were able to find them, it would be crucial for the development of human civilization and technological progress!

But it was due to this that the information was treated as a top secret and concealed by the government. In fact, Manny’s father was the main person in charge of the plan. Back then, when regions were divided on the moon, the reason why the North American government had chosen this region was for the convenience of mining the products of alien civilization. Of course, on the surface, their reason was to understand the mystery of human civilization. As for the true reason... they hoped to uncover some secret and illegal technologies to regain their position as the boss of the world... and this was, in fact, an open secret.

Thereafter, according to the information recorded on the ruins, researchers of the Americas Region successfully excavated black slates that contained strange powers in those places. That made them full of confidence as they began to research. Of course, as mentioned earlier, it wasn’t easy to decipher the black slates. Up until now, they knew nothing apart from the fact that there was resonance between the black slates and it would send faint signals into deep space.

“It seems more like the story development of Alien and StarCraft. I don’t like it... I pretty much prefer Raiders of the Lost Ark and Tomb Raider...”

After hearing Manny’s narration, Mini Bubble Gum was apparently dissatisfied. She crossed her arms and soliloquized. After hearing her grumbles, Manny and the two soldiers didn’t say a word. As of now, they had left the lab and entered the drawing room. Manny initially decided to drag time for the guards to arrive and detain the three young ladies. However, there was no sign of them or any siren even after he finished narrating the story. It seemed like it was just as the young lady said. The entire system of the base had fallen into the hands of that young lady named Erin.

But now, Canary knitted her brows. After pondering for a while, she turned to Erin who was casually sipping the red tea.

“Your Highness Erin, you said the black slates contained the power of Chaos and Order, right? But why do they keep summoning only Chaos Beasts?”

“Hmm? Come to think of it, you’re right...”

Upon hearing Canary’s words, Mini Bubble Gum was taken aback. When they touched the two black slates earlier, they erupted a strange energy and summoned a bunch of Chaos Beasts. Maybe ordinary people might not know where the Chaos Beasts came from, but Mini Bubble Gum clearly knew that they were monsters of the Chaos world that lived within Chaos. Even in the game, Chaos Beasts would only show up in the Order world after being summoned by people. They weren’t in the Dragon Soul Continent now. Erin also told them that the rate of recovery for her strength was somewhat slow. Of course, she was the representative of the ‘moon’ rule, fortunately, and would replenish her strength to a certain degree as long as the moon was there. Besides, unlike the Creator Dragons who abandoned their power and transmigrated in their souls, Erin transmigrated in her true self. There were no Creator Gods like the five Creator Dragons in this world, so even if rules existed, they couldn’t possibly be grasped by anyone. Perhaps after Erin stayed here for several more years, she would become the ‘moon goddess’ in name and reality.

But Erin also mentioned that even though there was the presence of Chaos here, the presence of Order and Chaos wasn’t too obvious. This was also why Erin kept believing that this place was the nest of Chaos Beings after she transmigrated. In the Dragon Soul Continent, Order and Chaos were like water and fire; completely separated. Order was Order and Chaos was Chaos. In here, Order and Chaos had no distinct, opposing standpoint. It was no wonder Erin made such a judgment.

Even though Erin wasn’t aware of it, Mini Bubble Gum and Canary knew that nothing as strange as Chaos Beasts existed in this world. So then, where did they come from? Summoned from the black slates? Did it mean that... the black slates could open channels of Chaos?
