Chapter 262 - Continent rush (1) (1/2)
Mars gave a nod, he somewhat understood Info's explanation, basically an archangel was like an AI from his past life, it could separate itself and focus on different tasks at once, which was why Info sounded like a robot when he met her for the first time, she had not allocated much of herself to reincarnating a living god that basically had no hope of surviving or making it to Alfan
”So how much of you is here right now Info?”
[Hmm... around half, as much as I can freely allocate anyway]
”So the rest of you is handling other tasks?”
[Yeah, stabilizing reality as you know it... Stuff like that]
”I see, sounds important”
[Well it's hella boring too...]
Mars gave a laugh before he stroked Info on her head
[What?]
”You have done well Info”
Info looked confused for a moment before it dawned on her that Mars was praising her like she had just done, then her smile bloomed like a sunflower before she leaned against him, for sometime both of them were silent while Mars stroked her head until Info broke the silence
[I should tell you about the next continent you are heading to before you reach Salen]
”I am all ears”
After about half an hour Mars stepped out of the guest room with his luggage and found both the demon king and 78 waiting for him outside the room, 78 latched onto him as soon as he stepped out of the room and rubbed her face against his shoulder, both Mars and the demon king ignored her as they spoke
”Thanks for the stay”
”The pleasure was all ours, I have to thank you again for solving our problem”
Mars gave a nod and gestured for the demon king to walk with him, the two of them talked and laughed while they walked out of the palace into a courtyard where Mars picked up 78 in his embrace before he flew off into the distance...
”Are we there soon Mars?”
”Yeah this should be the last few hours we have to spend flying for a while... Man I look forwards to sleeping...”
Mars and 78 were currently flying over the dark sea, it was night and the 9th day that they had spent flying over the sea, Mars was starting to get really tired but endured while they flew and then finely Mars spotted the shore
”Land!”
78 repeated while being just as excited
”Land!”
Mars sped up and soon both of them touched down and began rolling around in the sand, but suddenly Mars stopped and looked off further inland as the sensation grew nearer until suddenly 78 also seemed to pick up on it and stood up from the sand and looked in the same direction that Mars did before suddenly two blue cat eyes appeared in the darkness and a voice appeared in Mars' head
”Mars..!”
Then a bundle of black and red-orange fur shot out from the darkness and hit Mars right in the chest as he fell over backwards on the sand as a loud purring that reberbratied in Mars' chest sounded out before he gave a sigh and asked
”What are you doing here VIctoria? We're a continent away from Salen...”
two pairs of horns flashed softly in the night as Victoria's voice once again appeared in Mars' head
”I... Missed you”
Mars gave a smile and stroked Victoria's ears and head which resulted in her purr to get even louder, meanwhile 78 looked on from the side for a while before she asked Mars
”Mars, who is this?”
”Oh right... Victoria why don't you introduce yourself?”
Then a voice appeared in 78's head as Victoria's horns flashed
”Hello... Victoria is... Victoria?”
78 flet her eyelid twitch for a moment before she gave a nod and slowly reached out and touched VIctoria's fur and was astonished
”It's sooooo soft!”
Then she proceeded to rub her face against VIctoria's balck and orange red fur which also kicked Victoria's purring up a notch as she loved the attention she was getting and since 78 and Mars smelled alike she was not wary of her at all and quite happily fawned over her and Mars for the best part of an hour before Mars let out a yawn and patted VIctoria on the head as he asked
”Victoria can you take the night watch? I really need some sleep...”
”Sure...”
”Awesome, thanks Victoria”
