Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 420 I hope that will really happen

"I am sure that Jellarmo will not be angry with what I did here. After all, I just used his name to spread more chaos. I think he will be happier once he knows that." Alex thought to himself as he kept pointing the weapons on the Purple Skins. "Besides, that old geezer owes me a favor. This can be part of that favor already..."

As this thought crossed his mind, Alex resisted the urge to giggle as he imagined Jellarmo’s reaction once he hears everything that had happened here.

"Oh, I think I should scrap this positive thinking... That man will surely be pissed at me. It’s a good thing that he’s still hiding now. If he can see what I am doing here, he might do something to derail my plans." Alex mused as he observed the reactions of the people on the ground.

Because of what Alex did to the spaceship itself, the whole vehicle was still suspended in the air, without it showing any indication to move at all.

With this sudden stop of the spaceship, the teachers and the students of the Institue were left at a state of confusion, as they could not understand why the ship had suddenly stopped.

The only thing that they could do was to stare at the spaceship itself, waiting for it to do something already.

"No matter how much staring you do, you will get nothing from it." Alex thought to himself as he looked at the irritated and impatient expression on Wisteria’s face. "The ship is already under my control... and everything it does now will be under my will, so you should ju- Hm?"

Alex suddenly raised his eyebrows as he realized that someone inside the spaceship was doing something extremely interesting right now.

His attention, which was split on observing everything around him, went back to the ship itself as Alex decided to give more focus on what he had just detected.

"..."

With his scanning power, Alex ’saw’ that one of the Purple Skins had discreetly activated a device on his back.

This device was something that Alex had seen before, and it made him smile inwardly, especially when the device began to work.

"That’s the Discreet Communication Device that I had detected earlier. So it’s user has now grown impatient and has decided to use it to send a discreet message. Hmm... interesting." Alex thought to himself as he saw the deft skill of the one holding the device. "Damn, from the way this person used the device, you can see that he is an expert on using it. Since that’s the case, then this person must be a spy for a certain group..."

"Hm, to which group will this user send his message? Will it to be to that council? Or will it be to that group?" Alex then licked his lips as he read the message being written quickly inside the device.

JELLARMO FOUND. CURRENTLY PERFORMING A ROBBERY. S-9, FOUR M00NS WORLD. ATTACHED HERE ARE THE AUDIO AND VIDEO DOCUMENTATION OF HIS ACTIONS.

"Hoho... this message is constructed in an efficient way. Less words but more facts. Hmm, this message structure reduces the possible message receivers into just two groups." As Alex thought of these, he slowly narrowed his eyes as he saw the Purple Skin sending the message.

"Ping!"

This extremely faint sound echoed out of the device as it sent the message, which went unheard against the whirr of the spaceship’s machinery. Alex was only able to hear this sound because of his scanning power, although he reckoned that he can also hear it with his ears.

"The message has been already sent. With that, some powerful group is now bound to know that ’Jellarmo’ is here. Once they knew that, the next thing that they will do is to try and arrest him here. Hehehe... now that’s what I want to happen." Alex thought with relish as he let the message leave the ship.

Seeing this communication device was a small detour on Alex’s plan, but he had let it do its work as he now realized that this will just make the effect of his disguise as Jellarmo to be more effective.

"This spy either came from the Cosmic Guard or from the Hermits. These two groups hate Jellarmo to their core, so I am sure that they will do everything to capture him." At this point, Alex had to stop himself from appearing happy, as this will just make him look like an outlier within the current nervous atmosphere in the Institute.

"Yes, there will be chaos later. I am sure of it." Alex thought as he imagined the fights that will happen because of the arrival of either the Cosmic Guard or the Hermits. "Even if these two groups try to be secretive on coming here, I am sure that Emperor Litch or his Generals will detect them coming here. Once that happens, a big clusterf**k will surely ensue..."

Alex then forcefully suppressed the excitement inside him as he imagined the chaotic scene that will happen later.

"Once that clusterf**k occurs, it will be my time to make a move! Hehehe, let’s see how these people will react to me at that time!" Alex thought as he went back on manipulating the spaceship.

"Skree...."

Alex forced his control on the outside weapons of the ship, making them shudder as he pointed them towards the ground.

More specifically, Alex pointed these outside weapons to the teachers and students of the Institute, which made these people shout in surprise and fear.

[[[HELLO THERE, MY FRIENDS. YOU MAY NOT KNOW ME, SO I THINK I SHOULD INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU FIRST. MY NAME IS JELLARMO, AND I AM HERE TO ROB YOU ALL.]]] Alex said through the speakers of the ship. Now that he had used the ’Jellarmo’ persona to rob the people inside the ship, he realized that maybe he can also use it to rob the people here in the Institute.

After all, doing this will surely bring more attention from Jellarmo’s enemies, which will just make it better for Alex later.

[[[NOW, NOW, NOW. I KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT BE LAUGHING AT ME. AFTER ALL, WHY THE HELL WOULD I ROB A HEAVILY FORTIFIED PLACE? BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I AM JELLARMO. AND I ALWAYS DO THE IMPOSSIBLE]]]

At this point Alex lit the switch of the two antimatter cannons above the ship’s helm.

"Hong!"

The elongated bodies of these antimatter cannons glowed blue as power began to gather inside their body. This power remained concentrated inside the cannons, seemingly suppressed by something.

This made the two cannons look like they were about to burst, although their sturdy bodies seemed to have kept them intact until now.

Alex then pointed these cannons at the Institute Building itself, which made everyone below tense.

[[[I KNOW THAT THE POWERS PREVALENT IN THIS WORLD ARE BOTH ESOTERIC AND MYSTICAL. BUT I WONDER IF THESE POWERS ARE ENOUGH TO RESIST AN ANTIMATTER CANNON FROM THIS SHIP. WHAT DO YOU THINK? WILL THIS BUILDING HOLD OR NOT?]]] ’Jellarmo’ playfully said as he kept on building up more power to the cannons.

This statement of his made the teachers look at the cannons with uncertainty, as they seemed to have no idea on what to think.

"F**k, I know that the annihilation power within the antimatter cannons vary depending on the amount of the antimatter used as ammunition. That means that the more antimatter there is inside the cannons, the more powerful it would be." The one who muttered these words were Wisteria, who was now looking at the ship with both anger and helplessness on her face.

"F**k! The Institute might be protected with extremely powerful Symbols, Constellations, and Bodies, but it will still be destroyed as long as the right amount of power was used on it. This antimatter cannon might have the enough firepower to do it, and if that was true, then it will be bad news for us." Wisteria continued to say as her face clouded.

Alex did not dare to say anything as he watched this woman talk, as he was interested on what he will still hear from her.

"Since the situation is now like this, the only thing that we can do is to prevent that cannon from being fired. That means... that we should attack the ship right now!" Wisteria hissed as she gave Alex a hopeful look. "Oi Alexander, you have powerful abilities too, right? Why don’t you help me out here? Surely you can do something against that shi-"

[[[OH, AND BEFORE I FORGOT, I SHOULD REMIND YOU ALL THAT I AM HOLDING HOSTAGE ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THIS SPACESHIP. SO DON’T TRY TO ATTACK THIS SHIP, BECAUSE IF YOU DO, THEN INNOCENT PEOPLE MIGHT DIE HERE....]]]

"!!!" This statement by ’Jellarmo’, which Alex made as a response to the plan that Wisteria just made, forced the woman to stop thinking about attacking the ship.

The only thing that she can do now was to glower at the ship and its glowing weapons, clenching her fists as she did so.

This sight made Alex sigh inwardly, as he was perfectly aware about the capabilities of the ship that he was controlling now.

"This ship might have antimatter cannons, but these cannons are the weakest and oldest version that there is. Its power is only enough to make a dent on a planet’s surface. If I use these cannons here, it might not even make a scratch in this place." Alex thought to himself as he continued to make the ship appear more intimidating. "Sigh... if you just knew that these cannons are this weak, then I am sure that all of you won’t be as tense as this."

After thinking of these words, Alex suddenly perked up as he felt someone ’observing’ him.

He looked to his right side, and there he saw Wisteria, who was now looking at Alex with scrutiny on her face.

"You, are you perhaps related to this?" Wisteria said in a low tone as she gave Alex a chilling glare. "Tell me Alexander, are you the one controlling the ship?"

"Hah? Do you even understand what you are saying?" Alex hissed as he tried to make himself look aggrieved. "How the hell can I even hack a ship while I am here? Shouldn’t I be using some kind of device in order for me to hack the ship? And look! The ship’s hacker is actively moving the weapons right now! Do you think I can do that while I am here?"

"But...." Wisteria appeared like she wanted to defend her point, but her words immediately trailed into nothingness as she was forced to accept Alex’s logic.

"Miss Wisteria, I know that it hurts, but I think we should just give up our things." Alex said in a reassuring tone as he tried to pat Wisteria’s shoulders. "Our lives are more important than our properties, right?"

"But-"

"Don’t worry about us, Wisteria. Even if we give up our items here, I think we can still take it back later."

"Really?"

"Yes. Do you think that someone like Jellarmo can just go here and steal with ease? Hehehe, if my thinking is right, then someone might come here later to arrest Jellarmo!" Alex said as he gave Wisteria a firm gaze. "Once that happens, we will be back to our normal routine."

"...I hope that that will really happen."
