Chapter 947 (1/2)

“Your body?”

Rhode twitched his brow and asked curiously. Alice nodded slightly and explained.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Back then when Chaos wreaked havoc, I moved the library to the Tinder Origin and barely survived the corrosion. But I wasn’t sure if the tinder would be able to defend against Chaos’s attack, so in order to ensure that my powers wouldn’t be devoured, I separated my spirit from my body and stored my body in the interval of history. Right now, this spirit of me that you’re seeing only contains a small part of my complete power. This was the only way I still had a chance of survival even if the Tinder Origin crumpled to Chaos…”

Alice paused.

“… But due to uncertain factors, I consumed too much power which weakened the link between my spirit and body. Even if I want to return to my body now, it won’t be that quick. Besides, Your Majesty, history is a process of accumulation and my body has already been buried deep down in accumulated history. I can’t search for my body within a short period of time by myself.”

“What can I do for you?”

Rhode asked. He understood what she meant. For example, Alice’s body was as though an important password which she had written on a newspaper and hid it inside a pile of newspapers to prevent anyone from discovering. But as time went by, more piles of newspapers filled up the entire room and she couldn’t find that particular newspaper. However… Rhode didn’t think that he could be of help.

“You’re the Void Dragon, Your Majesty, and we can sense that as your subjects. For that, I want to borrow your strength and re-enter the interval of history in search of my body. I don’t have any battle strength in me, so I will need to seek your powers.”

“Sure.”

Rhode nodded firmly. He wasn’t dubious of her words. Since this was necessary, there was no reason for him to hesitate anymore. This request from Alice, who was one of the six Deity Wardens, seemed no different to a mission. As a player, how could he ignore this mission? Yes, he might face trouble in the process, but he was always pragmatic.

“Alright, what do I need to do?”

Alice was surprised that Rhode agreed so quickly. She widened her eyes and blinked in disbelief. Shortly after, she returned to her usual self.

“It’s simple, Your Majesty.”

Alice extended her hand.

“I will find the approximate period of history while you will have to sense my spiritual undulation and search for my body. Then, my spirit and body will fuse and awaken. Thereafter, I will restore all my strength.”

Rhode nodded and held her hand.

“Also, Your Majesty, history is made up of situations that existed and happened. We may peep and hide ourselves within but we can never change it. No matter how tragic it is, it is all decided and shaped by countless pasts that make up the present…”

In the next moment, everything before Rhode’s eyes turned in complete confusion. The library around him disappeared in the blink of an eye and was replaced by boundless darkness and layer upon layer of floating screens that resembled images that had their brightness overdone. Not only that, but he could also vaguely see a moving human figure on the screens. At this moment, countless screens flit by him like meteors as though the scenery behind the window of a high-speed rail. Shortly after, the surrounding light spots linked up and formed a dazzling white radiance. Then, the scenery suddenly transformed.

The air reeked of blood.
