My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 299 Invasion From Outer Space Part-8



"Did you just see what I saw?" Scarlet asked Affea with a look of disbelief.

"The clouds also vanished." Affea nodded and commented as she raised her head to look at the sky. She added, "I wonder which Supreme Realm expert helped us, now."

"No, I don\'t mean that." Scarlet Moon shook her head. She explained, "The lightning bolt that struck King Brian is black in color."

"Must be a dark/lightning attribute. It\'s not strange that one has dual attributes. Is there anything special about it?" Affea asked her in response.

"Eh?" Scarlet was stumped by her response. After contemplating the matter for a moment, she nodded, "you are right. Maybe, I was thinking too much."

The group of five started to walk away after Scarlet expelled the tracking seal from Avia. Neither of them was interested in the battle going on at the palace now that it was already turned in their favor.

Estella tried to talk with Azzy but seeing that the latter was unresponsive, she perfectly guessed that he was conversing with his Arcana and chatted with Avia to get more familiar with her.

Meanwhile, as Estella guessed, Azzy was talking with the Reaper. "Are you sure it\'s him?"

"No doubt about it. I sensed the death energy in that attack. It\'s your future self." The Reaper affirmed that it was the future Azrael that helped him out. He then added, "But, this won\'t look good for him."

"Why?" Azzy asked in wonder. Isn\'t it a good thing?

The Reaper explained, "It\'s because he possesses the power of time now and is the guardian of timeline. So, Gaia will keep an eye on him to make sure he won\'t misuse his powers. You must have already heard about the origin, right? Death had to devour Time because of the latter\'s irresponsible actions, resulting not only a merge and formation of this new me but also the fate goddess Moira."

"My future self said that he was following the path of his future self. Does that mean I will travel back in time to this day and save myself?" Azzy asked him to confirm his thoughts.

"Yes, but, you don\'t need to do it either way. The present you create the future you, not the other way around. So, you can refuse to follow the same path as him.

As long as Brian wouldn\'t bring a big change to the timeline of the entire world, there\'s no need to take action. Just stopping him from releasing the Eye of Trias would have been enough. Striking him down was completely unnecessary. These two ladies with you are strong enough to take him out.

Either way, it has already been done. No need to think about it any longer."

Azzy returned to reality and turned his head around.

"Oh, you are finally back." Estella, who was keeping an eye on him while chatting with Avia, spoke to him and let out a smile.

"Are you talking with your Arcana?" Affea asked him, to which he nodded in response.

"Must be some serious conversation since you couldn\'t hear what we are saying, earlier," Scarlet casually commented to it.

In an instant, the Reaper gave him some amazing idea to escape the radar from the Death Clan. Azzy thanked him and said, "My Arcana mentioned that that lightning earlier didn\'t contain Dark attribute. So, it might have been the famed black lightning.

If that\'s the case, it would match the descriptions from the history books. According to his analysis, there\'s a high possibility that this unknown helper is a direct descendant of Aelius Crescent and awaken his Arcana."

For a moment, everyone suddenly halted their steps and looked at Azzy in surprise. Estella commented, "Your Arcana seemed like it is very intelligent."

"Yeah, he is." Azzy shrugged his shoulders without turning his head. After a brief pause, he added, "Lately, he helps me in studying."

"That\'s a great advantage," Avia muttered under her breath. She could be feeling a bit envious towards her foster brother, right now.

Scarlet couldn\'t help but look at her daughter and Affea stared at her son in silence. Ever since she was reunited with Azzy, the latter was giving her surprises one after another.

Soon enough, as they reached the highway where there was huge traffic with half of them being empty vehicles, Scarlet summoned a flying card and everyone including Azzy boarded it.

About half an hour passed since they started traveling on a flying card. They successfully left the city but Azzy kept glancing behind at the palace as he heard from Scarlet that almost all the invaders were successfully captured.

On one hand, he wanted to go back and see for himself whether everything is alright with his mother because he clearly saw the aura of death on her, but on the other hand, he doesn\'t have a proper excuse to leave.

As far as the whole world is concerned, he lost his family and is currently living with Oakley and Affea.

How could he leave?

The Reaper was also staying silent about the matter and just kept saying that he needs to wait for the immediate future is uncertain.

Along with it, there\'s another thing that bugging Azzy. It\'s the giant freaking spaceship. While they were traveling, he found that it suddenly disappeared. Did it teleport or did it just turn invisible?

Azzy had no way of knowing that as he is at least sixty kilometers away from the palace and the maximum range of his aura sensing is only about 25 kilometers.

<strong>Meanwhile, at the palace grounds;</strong>

With Ramiel Crescent, the seven elders of the Death Clan, the six clan heads of the subordinate clans of the Death Clan, and several other rank-7 and rank-8 experts are fighting together, the enemies were easily defeated.

Except for a few, everyone else who exited the spaceship was killed in action.

The captain of the ship was captured with energy chains. Vesyrn looked coldly at him while holding a cube. "Do you know why the healers can be the most troublesome people on the planet?"

Captain Virgil stayed silent.

Vesyrn gestured to Ramiel who was standing beside him.

Despite being the vice president of the world\'s biggest organization, despite being only a step away from becoming a Supreme Realm expert, Ramiel didn\'t sacrifice his clan. So, technically, he is still a subordinate of Vesyrn Garcia, who was in charge in the absence of Qridus Garcia.

Upon understanding the instruction, Ramiel followed the orders and raised his arms. A concentrated beam of lightning shot out from his palm penetrated Virgil\'s both of Virgil\'s upper arms and made a hole out of the suit as well as causing heavy damage.

"Argh…" Virgil screamed in pain.

Vesyrn then raised his arms and shot a beam of light onto the injured parts. In an instant, the wounds started to heal.

Vesyrn then said, "You see, we might not be as advanced as you but we have our ways to torture. I\'ll not ask again. Release my wife, first and we\'ll talk. Or else, ancestor crescent will keep hurting you and I will keep healing your injuries. We won\'t let you die but we won\'t you live in peace either.

Your aides from the Sun Clan and Dragon Clan are almost down too. So, we aren\'t giving you any choice."

"Fine," Captain Virgil agreed to his demand and released Izora.

While he still released her from the prison, she was still trapped by the bubble, which was created by Sun Clan\'s Matriarch earlier. So, she wasn\'t out of danger yet.

Ramiel slowly injected his soul energy into the bubble and managed to free her.

After a while, Vesyrn started to interrogate the invader, right at the place instead of taking him somewhere isolated.

"Now, I have some quick questions. Answer it." Vesyrn said to him.

Virgil nodded without resistance.

Vesyrn then asked, "Tell me your identity, which planet you are from, and what your aim is."

Virgil answered truthfully, "I don\'t know my real name. As far as I can remember, my code name is Virgil. I serve as the captain of the 14th squadron, 23rd platoon, 2nd company, 6th Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 1st division, Leo Corps.

Truth to be told, I\'m just a small person of our empire, \'The United Federation of Arcturian.\' So, don\'t think you have won some huge war. We have thousands of teams like these. Anyway, let me tell me about a brief history of ours.

We were descendants of the original inhabitants of this world, evacuated millions of years ago due to the apocalypse event to protect the human race.

We conquered the worlds, set up an Empire, eventually leading to becoming the strongest force in the entire Andromeda Galaxy. Our Federation is capable of even negotiating the terms with those gods or immortal beings.

We thought our Gaia would have been destroyed a long time ago but about 3 decades ago, one of our chief scientists stole important data and escaped through a wormhole. We managed to track us here. And look what we…"

"Ding! Captain Virgil, the countdown has reached zero. Proceed with the transformation?"

As soon as he heard it in his mind, Captain Virgil stopped talking and let out a hearty laugh. "Sorry mutants, I guess we will have to pause this conversation right away."

"Hmm?" Vesyrn furrowed his brows at his statement.

It was then, all of a sudden, the invisible spaceship that was floating hundreds of meters above them suddenly reappeared, taking everyone by surprise.

"It never left?" Ramiel\'s eyes are widened in surprise.

Before everyone came to their senses, another surprise came from them.

The giant spaceship instantly transformed into a robot before turning into a handsome hunk.

He looked at others and said, "Hello, I\'m Neo, a Second Generation Super Android. I want you to release the hostages and leave us in peace or I might have to proceed with the extermination. Consider this a demand, request, or warning. I await your reply."
