Chapter 346 Fly like a Bird, Sting like a Mosquito
”Ehem Why don't we just proceed with the fusion now?” Alex said as he avoided Alina's stare ”After all, we have arrived at our location already”
”We have arrived already? What do you mean by tha-oh” Alina's reply was cut off, as she and Alex found the what looked like to be a stone altar front of them
This stone altar seemed to be made up of precious ht, colorful glow that only rare materials can do
Not only that, but this altar was also abnore building
As its bright and huge body loomed over the two, both Alex and Alina took deep breaths as they appraised the altar silently
”Woooh, this altar really is so else” This was all that Alex could say as he stared at the glowing shrine in front of him ”With this size and materials, this altar looks as if it was intended for so important But what is it for?”
This question of Alex was i just above the altar
”This…”
Alex found hi for words, as he felt captivated by what he saw
A blue orb, which was the size of a waterht above the altar, with is body barelyfrom its position
Thisobseemed to be transparent just like Alex's and Alina's body, although thisobseemed to be much more solid compared to Alex and Alina
Every now and often, thisobwill bob up and down slightly, creating a surreal but also entrancing sight
If these were the only characteristics of thisob then Alex ht be not fully interested on it However, there is still so else about thisobthat had Alex and Alina wary of it
Right now, this blue orb was e both Alex and Alina to move away from the orb itself
Alex's soul, which had been tethened by a portion of E forced by the orb tothat certainly had Alex worried
Alina, whose soul was slightly weaker than Alex, looked to be more affected by the orb's pressure
Her face was ragged with disco backwards
”…”
After he saas happening to his partner, Alex did not waste any tirabbed Alina's hand
At theon the hands has weakened the pressure
However, this weakened pressured was still strong enough to prevent Alex and Alina frohtened his hold on Alina's hand as he inwardly decided to not let go of her hand, no matter what happenss
”Alina, there is no doubt about it That blue orb right there is the soul of the Esper World” Alex said as he watched Alina's cohtly pale due to the pressure of the orb, although it was starting to recover its color now
As her face started to regain a rosy color, Alina looked back at Alex with schadenfreude as she replied,
”Alex, that orb right there is releasing a pressure that was powerful enough to make us like this Of course that is the soul of the Esper World! After all, only so like the soul of the Esper World can release that kind of pressure!”
”Yeah, I'm already Captain Obvious There's no need to rub it in” Alex replied sullenly as he shook his head ”Hey, instead of teasing me, why don't you just thank me? If it were not for me, you could have been overwhelmed by the pressure already”
”Well, thank you then Thank you for your help”
”…Okay, I accept your thanks” Seeing that Alina seeh as he refocused his attention on the blue orb
His eyes then narrowed as he observed the 'soul' of the Esper World warily
”From what Blue Alex has said, the consciousness of the Esper World will be at its weakest at this moment It will also be the only moment that I can succeed on the consciousness fusion” Alex thought to hi let out by the soul of the Esper World was already like this, then how strong will it be once it actually wakes up?”
As he reached this line of thought, Alex inwardly shuddered, as he realized that no matter what happens, the Esper World must not wake up at all
After all, just the 'sleeping' Esper World was already giving out this kind of pressure to Alex and Alina If the Esper World awakens any moment from now, then Alex will be definitely screwed!
”Alina, now that we are here, we can already proceed to the next step” Alex said as he stared at the blue orb intently ”Since that blue orb is the soul of the Esper World, the next thing that we need to do is to approach it”
”You mean walk towards the blue orb until we can touch it”
”Yes We will have to walk against this pressure until we reach the blue orb” Alex replied as he nodded his head ”It will be only that that point that we can start the consciousness fusion That is why, you should never let go of my hand”
”I understand Alex” Alina replied quietly as Alex felt her hand squeezing his ”After all, us holding hands allows us to ainst this pressure If we approach the blue orb separately, I do not knoe can even move forward by a meter”
”…Well then, let us do this!” After he saw Alina's readiness for their next ht now
He and Alina ht feet in front of theroan, as they felt the pressure continuing on pushi+ng the!” Alex shouted out as he and Alina then s than this!”
