Chapter 241 First is Aladdin“s Genie, then followed by Sonic. What could be next?

"Conquer the moons? Are you really serious about that?" Someone among the crowd muttered as everyone began to clamor from what they had just heard.

Because of the noises made by everyone, it was hard to know where the complaint came from, although this complaint perfectly shows the general mood of the crowd.

"You hoomans are asking me if I am serious? Of course I f**king am!" Kuro said as she started to cuss out. "Just because I look small to you, you think you can all just run me over?"

"Well, we did not exactly say that..." The lanky guy said as the Devourers along him nodded their heads.

"Hmph, who cares if you did not say it. I can see it in your eyes!" Kuro shouted as she glared at all of them at once. "Pathetic hoomans, all of you are needed to be punished!"

After saying this declaration, Kuro suddenly waved her right hand upward.

"Karakathoom!" Rumbling sounds of thunder were heard by Alex as bolts of lightning fell from the top of the arena, crashing amongst the surprised crowd.

"Boom boom boom!" Those who were hit by these lightning bolts died instantly, and not even a hint of their corpse remained.

If was if their bodies were vaporized at extreme levels, leaving nothing but atomic dust on their wake.

"What the hell..." Alex muttered to himself as he replayed what had just happened in his head. "Those lightning bolts just killed 78 Celestials, 74 Devourers, and 76 Symbolists instantly. Not even their corpses remained! Those lightning bolts... they’re definitely is not a normal one!"

With his prowess in EM Manipulation, Alex was 100% sure that the lightning bolts that he just witnessed were no normal lightning bolts at all!

There seems to have been some kind of magical touch on these lightning bolts, which was evidenced by the fact that these lightning bolts were black in color!

Alex was definitely sure that black lightning cannot be produced normally from a scientific way!

"Tsk, so this Kuro can cast black lightning through magic. How great..." Alex thought to himself as the others began to realize what had just happened. "If those lightning bolts hit me... I think I will be injured. But of course I have my ways of dodging it..."

While Alex and the other Travelers were quietly mulling about Kuro’s abilities, the members of the Three Factions in the arena were quiet too, although they were rendered silent by horror.

After all, they just saw some of their comrades get easily killed by Kuro!

Even if most of them had their defenses already prepared in place, some of them were unable to defend against those black lightning bolts!

Seeing something like this happening obviously would be horrifying!

"..."

Right now, in the eyes of the Symbolists, Celestials, and the Devourers, Kuro was someone who was more terrifying than a calamity wave itself!

Only the Travelers and their Companions were calm, although they were treating Kuro with more respect now.

"Hmph, pesky hoomans, now that you have seen what I can do, will you shut up and listen to me?" Kuro said with irritation as she flicked her hands away with irritation. "I’m already tired of talking here, so just let me finish, okay?"

"..."

This time around, nobody tried to make a sound, prompting Kuro to look extremely smug.

"There, there, now isn’t it just easy?" Kuro cooed as she shook her head in bemusement. "If you had just listened to me before, then your friends could have been still alive!"

"..."

"Ehem, ehem, so regarding what you should do, it’s just like what I said earlier. You should go and conquer all the moons." Kuro said as she tilted her head in a way that was reminiscent to [Asteria].

"Of course the process will not be that straight forward. You have to do two distinct things first before you can conquer the moons."

"..."

"First, you must take over your own moon first." Kuro said as she started to fly all around the area. "5 minutes from now, I will teleport you all towards your respective moons. Once you arrive at your respective moons, you will have to face some trials there. Only when you succeed on those trials that you will be given the right to take control of everything inside that moon. Pretty cool, right?"

"..."

"Once you conquer your own moons, you will obtain treasures and weapons inside these moons’ treasuries! What does these weapons do? Well, they will allow you to invade the other moons!"

"!!!"

"Yes, you already know where those weapons and treasures will be used for." Kuro said as a haunting smile appeared on her face. "It’s for the second step, which is the stage where you will start invading the other moons!"

As expected, everyone was surprised but also excited with what they just heard.

They have to conquer their own moon, and then use the power of that moon to invade other moons? That just sounds extremely ludicrous and blood pumping!

"...As expected, it will really go like this..." Alex thought to himself with a sigh as she shook his head. "Conquer your own moon, then use the power of that moon to invade other moons? Hmph, this is a classic battle simulation!"

Now that he heard what they will really do, Alex realized that something more fishy was going on in the background, making him feel more and more wary against Kuro and whoever was behind this scheme.

"Hahaha! All of you seem to be surprised with what I just said! Heh, you must be honored to hear the mission coming from me!" Kuro said as she started to cackle maniacally. "Now, are you all ready to play?"

"..."

"Oh, let me remind you of one thing first." Kuro said as her laugh started to subside. "You cannot invade other moons unless you conquer your own moon first. If you try to violate that rule, you will have to face some pretty bad punishments~"

"...." With the deaths of their comrades fresh on their minds, everyone inside the arena had no choice but to believe in Kuro’s words.

"...Only 1 minutes has passed since my speech? Ugh, there’s still 4 minutes before I send you off. So boring..." Kuro suddenly blurted out as she let out a sigh. "Well, since I already finished telling you about what you need to know, then maybe I can send you off now. Hmm... yes, it might really work! Okay, I have decided already! I will send you off now!"

"Hey wait a min-"

Some people, including Alex, tried to raise their complaints, but their voices were cut off as Kuro snapped her fingers.

"Snap!"

Her snap somehow created a disturbance in the space-time continuum, swallowing everyone inside a pit of compressing space.

The appearance of this pit was so fast that nobody, not even Alex and his companions were able to react at the sudden appearance of the pit.

Everyone inside the arena were powerless on stopping the pit, with all of them being swallowed entirely by it.

"..."

A few seconds passed by and the pit faded away, leaving nothing but empty space inside the arena.

"Hmph, they’re all gone now. Sigh... at long last I can take a good sleep already!" Kuro muttered to herself as she looked at the empty arena. "F**king hoomans, I hope all of them dies out there!"

As she uttered these words with a tone of finality, Kuro spun around on her place as her body faded away.

It took her a second to disappear, and once she did so, the whole arena started to crumble, as if it was not meant to exist at all.

***************

"Woosh!"

Alex, his companions, and the Symbolists all felt their space warping around them for a few second as some kind of spatial turbulence could be seen happening around them.

As this was happening, nobody amongst them tried to make a move, as they were not sure on what would happen if they try to struggle right now.

Even Alina did not do anything on the space around her, as she was sure that something wrong will happen if she tries to meddle with the space around her.

"Calm down everyone. Just stay still and we will get through this." Astria said as her voice could be heard inside the spatial turbulence, which was projected from a Symbol that she had prepared on her left sleeve. "In my opinion, it will only take a few more seconds until this turbulence disappears..."

Right on cue, the spatial turbulence around them did disappear after Astria talked.

The twisted appearance of their surroundings faded away as the spatial fluctuations started to calm down.

"...See, I told you it will be fine." Astria uttered as she let out a relieved smile. "Now, let’s see where that turbulence have brought us to!"

"..."

With the space around them already calm, Alex knew that he can already look around him safely without fear of any harm.

With this reminder in his mind, Alex’s eyes started to wander as he tried to see where he is right now.

"...So we have already arrived." Alex muttered to himself as his eyes narrowed imperceptibly. "Well, that is the only conclusion that I have from the way that my surroundings look right now."

Instead of the dome of the arena, what Alex could see right now were vast expanses of Blue Sand, extending endlessly into the distance.

The amount of Blue Sand that Alex can see was so staggering that he could see gigantic mountains of Blue Sand on some directions, with some of these mountains reaching towering heights.

"My god, is this a blue dessert?" Alex thought to himself as he squished the Blue Sand that was under his feet. "I never imagined that sand can be this blue..."

The only other thing that was visible in this place was the night sky, which looked a lot more resplendent compared to before.

The way that the stars looked right now was so beautiful that Alex could not help but stare at them.

Aside from this Blue Sand and the night sky, there was nothing else that could be seen around them.

There were no buildings, monuments, or even special structures in the area, making Alex feel like they were left in an extremely isolated place.

"..."

As Alex stared at the sky, he also looked at his companions and the Symbolists, who were looking all around them with wary expressions on their faces.

"Alex, we are at the Blue Moon already, right?" The one who asked this question was Alina, who was carrying Keira on her left shoulder.

"Yes, I think we are at the Blue Moon already." Alex replied as he tensed his body. "There’s no doubt about it."

"Okay, since we are at the Blue Moon already, then what should we do right now?" Alina asked Alex once more as she approached Alex. "I can’t see anything notable here except for the Blue Sand, and I think that Blue Sand is not that thing that we are looking for here."

"Alina, I do not know yet." Alex replied quickly as he shook his head. "If we want to know, then we must investigate this place first."

"Indeed, and I think we must-"

"Rumble..."

Alina’s reply was cut short as the land below their feet started to rumble.

"Sharpen your senses!" Alex shouted to everyone as he lowered his body down to the ground. "Since the ground is rumbling, then there must be something that will come out of the ground! Whatever that is, you should all be prepared for it! If not, then we could be in a bad situation!"
