Chapter 680 - 624: Real Identity (1/2)

”Umm, Senior, where are you heading to?”

Alda hesitantly approached the quiet Lucy and asked after mustering her courage for more than an hour. It has been six hours since the Retour Poisson started diving deep into the Rose Sea and, a few minutes ago, they reached the 1,000-kilometer mark.

It will soon start getting dangerous and the sea monsters are very active here and empowered by the Rose Sea, making them a threat even to the Overgod.

Actually, despite their bad encounters, Alda felt relieved that someone as strong as Lucy was accompanying them. If things turn for the worse and a sea king appears, she was sure that the silver-haired woman will take care of it.

”Don't mind us.”

Lucy spat those three words before proceeding to ignore Alda and gaze at Arthur. The black flames were sometimes subduing and other times rising three to four meters above, even breaking through the fish's translucent barrier but, fortunately, not affecting it.

”Alda!”

Karol, one of Alda's companion and, apparently, the youngest out of all the group, loudly shrieked as she pointed at the front of the Retour Poisson. A large black silhouette made its abrupt appearance, its size was twice of the diving fish and it was heading straight at them.

Without any delay, the Overgod grasped his one-handed hammer and left the barrier. He appeared in front of the gigantic monster within seconds. His weapon glowed with a blue light as it slowly struck the monster, which became more visible now that it got closer.

It slightly resembled a star fish but its skin was sticky brown and it even had a hideous face that would cause anyone to have nightmares. The Overgod showed no fear as he struck with his hammer, dealing a strong blow which pushed the monster and dyed the waters with black blood.

Sadly, the Overgod can't stay outside of the barrier for long so he was forced to retreat after that one blow, nevertheless, that starfish-like monster didn't return and just watched them from a distance before disappearing.

…

”H-hey Alda…”

Peter, a youth in her group, softly nudged her sleeve to grab her attention. As she turned to face him, the young man hesitantly said,

”I think I know who she is.”

Alda knew that Peter was talking about Lucy so she carefully listened to him.

”I've seen a recording of the war between the White Specters and the Undead… she's Eva, or Lucy. If my guess is true then that man is the parasite Arthur MoonStar.”

The moment she heard that, Alda had a realization, after all, Arthur and Lucy are quite famous in the Cloud Sea Universe. The Undead army which marched on the Divine Planet is still remembered by both its inhabitants and the other realms and planets.

'That explains how he transformed into the White Tiger.'

Alda called for the Overgod and asked him with a very low voice.

”Weren't Lucy and Arthur MoonStar banished to Riarravar?”

”That's old news. It wasn't long go that the white specter raided the capital and saved that Lightning wolf. There also has been sighting of them in the Red Tower. Why are you asking about the-”

The Overgod blocked his mouth and glanced at Lucy, also coming to a revelation.
