Chapter 469 Is this a preordained meeting?

A FEW MINUTES EARLIER

INSIDE THE INSTITUTE

The resulting clash between Alex’s group and the enemies just worsened the situation inside the Institute, as the building itself began to have cracks from the aftershocks of the battle.

This was already a given, as the fights that are happening right now were just too much, even with the defenses placed on the Institute.

13 Sixth Stage Beings were the ones initiating the battle here in the Four Moons World, and that number was expected to increase once Emperor LItch arrives.

With that number of people batting outside, it was already a miracle that the institute was still standing.

"Crack..."

The people inside the Institute had no idea on the danger that they were in, as they all placed their faith on their building. They even dismissed the visible cracks that appeared on the barrier, as some of them just took it as a minor inconvenience.

historical

This thinking however was quickly changed when out of nowhere, a woman covered in a black armor descended from the sky, hitting the barrier right on its topmost part.

"Crash!"

The woman hit the barrier with such force that before the teachers and students could take note of what happened, the barrier shattered into millions of fragmented pieces, like it was just a mirror that was hit by a rock.

These pieces then scattered all over the place before they dissipated into nothingness, leaving the whole Institute into its most open status ever since it was established.

"!!!" Everyone began to shout in fear upon witnessing this, and this fear became compounded when the black-armored woman landed right in front of the building.

There was nothing hospitable about this woman’s appearance, as the weapon that she held and the menacing aura of her armor was enough to make everyone feel terrified.

And the fact that this woman began to talk to herself like a madman just made her look worse.

"So this is the place where the visiting Blue Skin Humans have landed. Hmm... I can sense our spy’s location here..." The black-armored woman muttered in a slightly loud tone which almost everyone was able to hear. She seemed to have no worries about talking this way, as she continued to talk to herself more.

"So my first agenda is to let the mothership continue attacking the demon. We will only stop once he has been fully eliminated. The second agenda on the other hand will be the extraction of the spy. It’s a good thing that he’s here, which makes the extraction easier. As for the third agenda, it will be related to Alex..." The woman continued to say with the crowd of teachers and students not daring to make a move right now. "Hmm, since the first agenda is still occurring, I guess I have to perform the second agenda already."

"Woosh~"

This woman then turned into a blur as she entered the building, ignoring the stupefied shouts let out by the audience. Her body seemed to have merged with the space around her as she rushed forward, making her movements appear slick and unstoppable.

"Woosh woosh woosh~"

She only stopped moving once she had reached the very last portion of the hospital rooms, which was the only room that had a resident in it.

Inside this room was a blue-skinned human that was busy playing a game with himself. He seemed to be quite enjoying it, although this enjoyment was quickly replaced by solemnity once he saw the arrival of the woman.

This blue person was no other than the spy of the Cosmic Guards, whose blue skin and pale appearance just paled more once he saw the full form of the armored woman.

"Y-you’re here, Officer Emerald? Oh thank goodness!" The spy said as the woman crossed her arms in irritation. "Oh, I’m sorry for the panicked response, Officer Emerald! I am Agent A15, reporting for duty! Please forgive me for my insolence!"

After saying these words, Agent A15 raised his index finger, with its tip pointing directly to his head. He then put it close to his forehead before dragging it down. This made it appear as if he was drawing an imaginary vertical line on his face, something that seemed to have softened the armored woman’s angry body.

The armored woman, who was actually Officer Emerald, only gave Agent A15 a perfunctory nod as she began drawing the same imaginary vertical line on her face too.

"Your job is already done here, Agent A15. Now, the headquarters want you to leave your post and return to main site." Officer Emerald said as she put her hand down. "But before you return there, I command you as your officer to enter my mothership and guard a class-A prisoner there. You can only return to the main site once the disturbance in this world has been dealt with. Do you understand that?"

"Yes, Officer, I understand!" Agent A15 replied as he tried his best to not wilt under Officer Emerald’s imposing stance. "So um, s-shall I depart now?"

"Yes, you can leave already, Agent A15. But be careful of the debris outside. There’s a lot of them, and you might die if you don’t get careful." Officer Emerald replied as she threw a sphere towards Agent A15. "Use that sphere if you want to return to the mothership safely. But do not let anything destroy it, especially by accident! If you do, I will be demoting you! Do you understand that?"

"Yes, I understand cousin! I mean, Officer Emerald!" Agent A15 replied with a stutter. In response to this weird answer, Officer Emerald crossed her arms more, which was a good indicator of her mood. "Um, since there’s nothing else that I have to do here, I shall leave right now!!’

"Hmph!"

"Hong~" Agent A15 did not waste any more time after that talk, as he began rushing like a man being chased by a tornado.

Upon seeing this, Officer Emerald only shook her head as the sound of an exasperated sigh came out of her mouth.

"If you want to call me cousin, then you better get promoted first." Officer Emerald muttered to herself as Agent A15 began flying through the building. "Tsk, just because we’re cousins, you think that can already act familiar with me? Hmph, you can only do that once you have proven yourself useful!"

"...."

It was only when Agent A15’s silhouette had disappeared form the whole Institute that Officer Emerald relaxed her body. This change was accompanied by another sigh from the Officer, as if there was something else that is going on her mind right now.

"Agenda 2 is already finished. This means that I can start doing the third Agenda..." Once she had said these words, Officer Emerald began looking down on the floor below her feet. Her armor then creaked and cackled as she continued staring at the floor with wonder, with her own weapon actually shaking when it made contact with the tiles.

"Hmm.... There’s a program in my armor that is fine-tuned on detecting the presence of Alex or his clones. I know that this works, since I have used this to clean up most of Alex’s clones that were killed before." Officer Emerald muttered as she twirled her weapon her hands. "Since my armor and weapon are both displaying intense emotions right now, then that means that I am near Alex. Or maybe I am near to one of his ’New Clones’. Meh, whatever. Since I detected one here, then I better start talking to him already!"

Officer Emerald then pointed her weapon to the floor once more, with her body assuming a tense and battle-ready pose.

"Since my weapon had its greatest reaction when I pointed it below me, that means that Alex or his clones are right below me too." Officer Emerald said as her armor began to glow. Her weapon then let out a loud cry in resonance to this glow, something which appeared to have agitated her surroundings.

"Seeing that there’s no visible way to go down there, I think I just have to force my way down to you," Officer Emerald declared as her grip on her weapon became more lively. "There are laws preventing me on destroying public property, especially during missions like this. But with the special situation this world is having right now, I think that destroying the floor to meet my target is not a wrong thing to do!"
