Chapter 812 Flawless Preparation (2/2)

The Void of the Multiverse.

As light from a Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds teleportation shone, a silver-haired girl appeared alone in the vacuum above an icy lifeless world.

Ying's ability was presently stuck at Gold-advanced beneath Supreme. She could not find a path to advance since she could not comprehend the masteries of 'Strength', 'Skill' and 'Soul' but being a Divine Armament with spiritual forms, she could freely move and live in vacuum as a Gold-tier.

”There's really no telling what Master's mission this time actually is for… Sigh. At least it's better than having no mission.”

The girl could not help pondering about the mission's purpose, but Ying soon abandoned such meaningless consideration, having learned the essence of Joshua's mental process. Controlling spiritual energies and driving her body forward as if a rocket, she started towards a blazing celestial body that was orange-yellow.

At the same time, a black-haired youth also appeared before another lifeless otherworld.

Compared to Ying who was filled with questions, Ling's thoughts were simple—complete his mission here and then return to his administrative duties. Although it was disrespectful, he genuinely did not believe that his master had the patience to handle those duties himself… In the face of complex construction work, would the warrior not just punch down mountains or simply flatten the earth?

Hold on, that actually seems much simpler…

Stopping the trail of thoughts that were becoming ever erratic, Ling resumed his mission.

And his target was an unbelievably massive sky-blue star.

But that was not all.

Using the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds as transit, many individuals with special missions assigned appeared over numerous lifeless otherworlds.

A luminous orb was wafting happily in the Void, intermittently ejecting a grail of flame or a jet of water. Freed from the restraint in the Liege's residence and now able to create all manner of things to play, Light was enjoying the presence known as freedom—still, it remembered its mission, and was darting through vacuum at the fourth universal speed as if without mass, even if its own unbelievably profound energies were now emanating bright light as if it was a sun.

However, no matter how similar it was to suns, it was not one—Light's radiance was as dim as a firefly's in comparison to the two massive objects that whirled nearby.

It was a planetary system with binary suns, with twelve planets revolving around the two giants on their respective orbits.

Moreover, it was not the people from the Liege's Residence.

For the first time, the members of the First Party: Ivan, Amelia, Nick, and Karin were operating individually on four different worlds. Those systems have no massive suns, but were instead deathly continental realms with crystalline bodies of energy that hung over the skies. Indeed, they were much simpler and more direct in tackling their mission, compared to the company from the Liege's Residence who habitually guessed about Joshua's purpose.

Lisa, Syndicate, and Zero-One also warped into a world with a giant star but was without light. That realm was shrouded in complete silence and darkness, its sun having died out too. The trio, however, were unconcerned—they had incidentally warped to the belt of a super-dense planet.

Meanwhile, the Elite Party was also split into three groups. Priest worked alone, while Caster paired up with Alchemist and Clergy with Rider. The trio appeared respectively in the skies above 'Ocean World', 'Desert World', and 'Frozen World'.

”Priest. What mission did his lordship give you guys this time?”

Despite appearing to be alone, a spectral echo emanated from behind Priest. He was not surprised, however, even beginning to speak with the ghost.

”It's not actually a mission but a simple operation.”

Priest said as he floated in the air, drawing a silver cylinder from the storage compartment behind his enchanted armor. With a shrug at Sol, he hence flung the metal cylinder at the surging ocean's surface.

”I just had to dump the Restoration Beam at any point in the world, and yet such a mission rewards 3000 exchange points. I actually suspect that my mentor deliberately arranged for a mission so simple it's cheating just to pore over us.”

”Is that so? That's nice of him.” Sol could not help giggling as she witnessed the sights of different worlds while talking to Priest. ”He's so gentle.”

”Is that so…”

Priest said nothing more. Compared to the Giant God back then, his mentor was certainly gentle now.

'The Liege might have added an extra zero, or could there be some danger we did not notice?'

Although Alchemist and Caster said nothing, the same thought crossed their minds.

”Weird, so many points, but we see nothing, not even any supermassive Void Behe—”

In another world, Rider frowned at the vast but empty world. However, his mouth was sealed directly with a Word of Truth spell when he was about to prattle on, right before Clergy grabbed his collar and shook him, his eyes bulging in rage. ”Shut your damned piehole, Crow Mouth! If we get dragged into any incident this time, I'm going to get Alchemist and modify you so that you have no verbal organs… Eh?!”

Boom!!!

Just as Priest chatted away with Sol and the others were pondering, the Restoration Beam thrown into the sea activated by itself.

Red-black runes completely different from those found in any other world appeared over both ends of the silver cylinder. The object itself remained unaffected even as the tsunami tides surged around it, stirred by the special windstorms in that world, descending to the bottom of the ocean in a straight line.

As it descended, the silver cylinder reddened and heated up, with substantial seawater evaporating and shrouding it in a bubble of air. Then, when the bubble touched the bottom of the ocean, silver light shone upon the dark depths.

At the same time, in other worlds, as every executor threw their own silver beams at their target locations, dazzling silver light shone animatedly in vacuum and over the land as if stardust.

A silver beam approached an orange planet at fifth universal speed.

A silver beam approached a sky-blue planet by warp, flickering incessantly.

A silver beam approached a twin-star system with gravity assisting, moving at unbelievable speed.

There were also silver beams that had stabbed into the depths of continental worlds, emanating the radiance of Order.

Endless light shone at once, transcending worlds.

Beneath the Silver Sky Radiance at the heart of the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds, Zero-Three closed her eyes.

”Nodes projection completed.”

She said quietly. ”Joshua, mission accomplished.”

”Good job. Sorry for the trouble.”

A voice echoed in Zero-Three's mind. ”With that, I'm flawlessly prepared.”

'No doubt about that.'

Zero-Three could not help but laugh softly, shaking her head.

It was definitely a flawless plan.
