Chapter 757 757: Conflict Of Ideals

"Royal Rumble!"

"!!!"

Like a stone being thrown into a pond, the wave that Alice created as she landed right in the middle of a hundred themarians rippled across the dome; blasting away the themarians closest to her, while the others were like dominoes as they all fell down to the floor one by one.

"...Who is it this time?"

Despite their almost impenetrable formation being broken, Queen Adel seemed to still be extremely calm—well, calm considering everything she has been through. She immediately ordered all of the themarians to halt their attack on Riley so that she could get a better view of what was happening.

And now, without any red obstructing anyone's vision, everyone and Queen Adel could see the intruder within their midst… who was immediately flying toward Queen Adel; spinning and literally drilling through the air with her arms stretched to the sides. What was noticeable most of all, however, was the crazed smile on her face.

"You guys didn't even bother inviting me!?" Alice cackled; her words, resounding throughout the dome,

"Don't you know that one of my expertise is annoying the freak out of these overpowered aliens!?"

The themarians were confused at first. But as soon as they realized Alice was moving toward their queen, they immediately all floated back into the air and moved to block Alice's path in no time at all.

One of the themarians went further and stretched his palm to Alice's face; threatening to tear her head off altogether. Alice, however, only smirked. She didn't even change her path and even made sure her face was aligned with the themarian's palm.

"Heh…" The smile on Alice's face did not disappear even as the themarian's palm was only an inch away from her face. Perhaps with good reason, because as soon as their skin made contact, the themarian's palm just… slid away from her face,

"...Bitch!" And with an obviously mocking tone coming out of her breaths, she spat on the themarian's face before just continuing her flight through the themarians waiting for her.

Judging from their expressions, the themarians were clearly weirded out by what just happened to their friend. But they did not let their confusion cloud their resolve as all of them stood their ground and proceeded to protect their Queen.

But alas, they also proceeded to be pushed aside as Alice went through them like a bullet being aimed into water. All of them were pushed aside, almost as if they were trying to touch something that couldn't be touched as any of their attempts to hold Alice down failed; their hands, just slid away without even a single tinge of resistance or friction.

"You guys don't like that, do you!?" Alice glanced back as she once again let out a… throaty spat, "I learned that from training with the baldy!"

And now, with no one protecting Adel, the smile on Alice's face became even more cathartic. Queen Adel, on the other hand, only squinted her eyes before disappearing from where she stood.

"Oh…?" Alice immediately closed her eyes, halting mid-air before turning around and meeting face-to-face with the Queen who was already only inches away from grabbing her. Alice tried to evade the Queen's hands, but alas.

Adel rammed her entire body at Alice; her hands, stretched to the side to make sure that she wouldn't be able to slip away. And with a smirk of her own, Adel wrapped and locked her arms around Alice's torso; her legs, also locking both her thighs.

"You are quite the slippery one, aren't you? You humans and your weird abilities," Adel whispered into Alice's ear.

"Mine is actually quite simple and common, I just know how to use it quite well."

"Huh. And so? What are you going to do now, little one?"

"Well," Alice tried freeing herself from Adel's grip, but her limbs were already completely locked; not even allowing her to wiggle even a single millimeter, "This is the time I call for…

…my beautiful and big mega D!"

"...What?" Adel could really only blink as she heard Alice's words. She then started looking around to see if someone was going to back her up, but there was no one. Even the themarians that were just watching their Queen fight, all started looking around everywhere,

"What are you even saying?"

"Heh, you won't understand…" Alice started snickering. Her words, still full of confidence, "Bloom…

…my beautiful flower!"

"..."

"What—!!!"

And before Queen Adel could wonder what it is that Alice was truly doing, a foot was already suddenly on her right cheek. She wanted to avoid it; but since she still had to remove her grip away from Alice, it was already too late.

There wasn't really any sound as her cheek and the foot made contact—there wasn't even a sound as the air around them seemed to distort as Adel was violently and almost comically flung away spinning in the air. If it wasn't for her people catching her, then she would have probably already been in another star system by now, literally.

"Surprise attack successful!" Alice jumped in the air, even though she was floating already. Her hand, raised in the air as she wanted to high-five the owner of the foot that suddenly attacked Adel. But alas, the only thing Alice received was a light slap on the back of her head,

"O…ow! What was that for, Dee!?"

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me flower!?" And of course, who else would come to Alice's aid but the Diana of her universe, Diana-1, "And we shouldn't even be here in the first place! I do not want to get tangled up with this multiverse fiasco, I am already busy as it is since Bernard died!"

"W… well," Alice looked to the side, "Who told you to follow me, then?"

"I didn't follow you, you dragged me here!"

"Now now, no need to get violent," Alice covered her head, before pointing at Adel, whose hair was being fixed and brushed by her people, "The only one you should enact violence on is that beautiful woman who looks like she bathes 3 times a day!"

"..." Diana-1 stared at Alice like she was some sort of disappointment, before turning to look at Queen Adel, only to see Adel also staring at her with one of her eyebrows curiously raised.

Queen Adel continued to stare at Diana-1 for a few seconds, before turning to look at Diana, who was still kneeling on the floor quietly with a weird calmness on her face.

"Great…" Queen Adel then let out a loud sigh as she shook her head, "Now there are two of you."

"Great…" Diana-1 also sighed as she looked back and forth between Queen Adel and Edith, before completely repeating Adel's words back to her, "Now there are two of you… and you are not even the same person."

"And I see you are also a braggart like your… variant," Adel did not allow herself to be mocked as she raised her head high to look down on Diana-1, even subtly floating in the air to make herself look taller as she walked toward Diana-1, "And you also seem to be the type to involve yourself in matters that do not need your hand in it."

"Well, what can I say," Diana-1 smirked, "Everyone around me tends to be…dull. Speaking of which, the Queen Adel in my world died because of her stupidity; trusting the late King Arthur even though she fully knows how crass and malicious of a man he is. Leaving her poor daughter alone to rule a people she was not ready to lead."

"At least she did not betray and leave her people, unlike you."

"Well, I am not the one who got her people killed for not listening to the scientists that have told you so many times that your planet is dying."

"The only reason my people died is because of that monster," Adel pointed at Riley, who was now being bombarded by kisses from Alice, "And you are trying to protect him! Was he also not the one who killed the themarians of your world!? Have you truly no love for your people!?"

"My only people is her," Diana-1 looked at Alice, who was now talking with the somewhat confused Aerith about something.

"You are scum. If you wish to die for a madman, then so be it."

"Oh no, not at all," Diana-1 raised both her hands as she moved to the side, "If you want to kill the boy, then do it. I am only here because of that disappointment."

"Then leave."

"Nope, that is up to Alice," Diana-1 sighed, "Perhaps you should be the one to consider leaving instead? Based on the energy I am feeling—you are the only one amongst your people that actually have the chance to fight back."

"..." Queen Adel did not really respond and just glanced at the other themarians with her.

"Your daughter already has the same level of energy as you. And the Diana of this world is…" Diana-1 looked at Diana, "...strong. There's also Riley Ross, and now add Alice to that mix."

"You think that we will be defeated? The people that stand before you may be old, some even decrepit—but they are still the finest soldiers of Hel, they will not go down without a fight."

"Oh no," Diana-1 shook her head, "With your number, you could kill everyone here. But at what cost, exactly? Half of your… 10,000 will and can die—and then you still have to deal with the Undeath. You did not trust the scientists of your world, but trust me now…

…just leave and live with what you have."
