Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Midnight.

Aboul.

The banquet was still ongoing.

Everyone was dancing, singing, enjoying themselves.

A party of 3 days and nights, all expenses paid by the Bramble Bird royal family.

To the Bramble Bird kingdom, even if this banquet continued for over 100 million years, the expenditures wouldn't even cause their eyes to twitch.

Having lived in the Mystic Zones for so many years, the amount of treasures they accumulated have more than filled their royal treasury.

Normally, no one would be dumb enough to try stealing from them.

Because the Mystic Zones were the innermost portion of the 900 million World Layers, where normal people would find it hard to even travel to.

Not to mention the various environmental dangers of the Mystic Zones that can cause top-level Combatants to quake in their boots.

That was why, the Bramble Bird was without any doubt, the richest kingdom in the 900 million World Layers.

The Combatant backing Aboul, who happened to also be Aboul's owner, had an amiable relationship with the Bramble Bird race, which was why they agreed to host the Bramble Bird princess' coming of age ceremony at this place.

It was also out of respect to this Combatant that the Bramble Bird kingdom did not buy Aboul itself.

However, the Combatant – known as Fireworks – only showed up briefly on the day when he personally welcomed the Bramble Bird royal family's arrival.

After that he disappeared.

No one knows where he went.

And no one cared.

After all, for the next three days on Aboul, the star of the show was the Bramble Bird royal family.

Triste also managed to conceal everything so well.

Which was why even now, the only people who knew the fate of this Combatant were Barry and Kitty.

The banquet hall.

The emerald-eyed, beautiful and graceful Light of Dawn Triste said a few words to excuse herself from a few distinguished guests under the attention of everyone before she left.

She came to the top floor and glanced at the observatory at the highest point of the hotel.

In the observatory, a green flame was illuminating the night sky.

"How is it?" she asked in a low voice.

The guard stationed here replied: "Madame, she is currently dealing with a few personal matters, so I didn't manage to ask her yet"

"Personal matters?" Triste muttered unexpectedly.

The guard nodded to confirm.

Triste went silent briefly before she suddenly stepped forward.

Disappearing from the top floor, she directly appeared at the observatory, smiled and spoke to the other party: "Spirit of the Holy Tree, my most distinguished friend, Lady Tethys, I am very sorry that I had to bother you with helping find our princess. Thinking about this, I feel deeply ashamed"

The Spirit of the Holy Tree, Lady Tethys didn't answer her right away.

Apparently she was in the middle of using some sort of spell.

Fortunately, the green flame that surrounded Tethys started to shrink right at this time, quickly returning to the palm of her hand.

Two faint figures came out from the flame and entered Lady Tethys' forehead.

"Hm… so that is…"

In the blink of an eye, everything that the two figures learnt was transferred to Tethys' mind.

The truth was so shocking that the flames in her hand trembled slightly.

It was extremely rare for something like that to happen to her.

Tethys simply followed the motion of her wrist and took back the burning green flame.

The observatory returned to darkness.

Tethys looked forward.

Triste was standing in the dark, observing her without moving.

She was evaluating her.

And so was Tethys.

Tethys suddenly smiled: "There is no need for such formality, I watched Laura grow up, every time she becomes stubborn, it is always a headache for everyone"

"Then, have you found her yet?" Triste asked.

"Not yet. However, the only place I have yet to search is the VIP area. But the problem is that if I search the VIP area, my technique may disturb some of your esteemed guests"

Tethys appeared a bit troubled and continued: "A few of those VIPs are very hot-headed, that's why I can't easily search the VIP area"

Triste went silent as she heard this.

She couldn't help but let go of other thoughts and seriously considered this problem.

Because to the Bramble Birds, arbitrarily investigating or probing VIP guests at a banquet that they host was a very rude thing to do.

But Tethys' searching techniques are the most potent in all of Aboul.

To find princess Laura, I need to depend on Tethys, and the VIP area must be searched.

This is the most important matter at the moment.

Triste thought over it again and over, finally sighing as she spoke: "It's fine, you can search them. I will go deal with this problem and make sure no one will feel offended"

"Then I'll trouble you with that" Tethys replied.

Triste nodded, gracefully curtsied and turned to leave.

The only person left on the observatory was Tethys herself in the dark.

After waiting for a while and confirming that Triste had gone far, Tethys finally muttered something to the void of space.

Time slowly passed.

Until, space dilated and the big rooster appeared on the observatory.

"I've tried---"

As soon as he started speaking, Tethys held his beak shut.

"Let's talk somewhere else"

Tethys placed her hand on the big rooster's wing and disappeared together.

The royal green room.

There was no one here.

The big rooster and Tethys suddenly appeared.

"Ah? Where's Gu boy?" the big rooster asked.

"I had him go out and do something for me. Don't mind him for now, what about your side?"

The big rooster replied: "I tried, the entirety of Aboul is quarantined in a strange way, no matter who it is, any information or news they send outside will be cut off midway, but those who sent it won't be able to tell"

Tethys asked: "In order words, no matter what happens here, no one will be able to send any news out?"

"Indeed"

The big rooster cross his wings, confused: "Since when did the Bramble Bird kingdom do something like this? That shouldn't be…"

"Is there no way to send any information out at all? I know you're an expert at this" Tethys stared at the big rooster and tried asking further.

Hearing her say that, the big rooster couldn't help but puff out his chest and pridefully declared: "Indeed, I'm a connoisseur of news. If you need anything to be sent out, I'm the only one in Aboul that will be able to help"

"What's your solution?" Tethys asked.

"Look here"

The big rooster endured the pain and yanked out a long feather from his body.

"My feathers have a characteristic to go through any obstacle, if you have any urgent news that need to be sent out, please use my feather"

He raised his long feather in both hands, knelt down on one knee and offered it to Tethys.

"You only need to inject the feather with whatever you need to be sent out, then chant the name of the one you're sending it to" the big rooster explained.

"It won't be blocked?"

"I guarantee that it won't" the big rooster tapped his chest.

Tethys received the feather and quickly wrote a message in it.

She chanted a name.

The feather instantly disappeared.

Tethys closed her eyes and waited for a few moments.

Within the range of her senses, no one in Aboul noticed anything out of the ordinary, and no one noticed the feather flying out of the world.

"Will it find the correct person?" Tethys opened her eyes and asked.

"It will, please don't worry, it will definitely reach the person by itself" the big rooster proudly declared.

"It definitely won't be blocked by anything?"

"I guarantee that it won't, and it won't be found by anyone either"

Tethys thought briefly and praised: "How impressive"

"Of course, using my feathers to send messages isn't only the fastest possible way, it's also the safest way, you can be assured"

When the big rooster wanted to boast more, he noticed the atmosphere wasn't quite right.

Tilting his head, he found that Tethys was silently judging him.

Her gaze was a bit strange, causing him to feel a bit uneasy.

"Milady, are you ok?" the big rooster asked.

I have a bad feeling… don't tell me she wants to eat chicken again?

The big rooster couldn't help but think that.

Tethys reached out her hand, lightly stroking his face: "I have something very important that I need you to do"

Under her stroking, the big rooster felt like he had just drunk a 500ml bottle of chicken blood and immediately declared: "Milady, I will do whatever you need me to!"

"Really?"

"There are no falsehood in my words"

"Very well, I have an urgent call I need to make to every trustworthy Combatant I know in the 900 million World Layers"

"You mean?"

"Can you… contribute all the feathers on your body?"

"All, all my feathers!?"
