--- Chapter 388 ---
For hours, Kaina Tsutsumi asked Arum Nok about a lot of things.
The situation of this vast universe.
The culture.
The technology.
The civilization.
Everything.
Thanks to the Intelligence Division's member, who used a powerful hypnosis spirit skill, Arum Nok is very obedient.
Arum Nok is from the Odd-Eyed Race of Dream God Planet, one of the Great Divine Elven's descendants. Nevertheless, unlike allied elven that possess affinity toward Life/Nature, Odd-Eyed Race is talented in mental ability.
Unfortunately, Arum Nok has barely reached adulthood, so his mental capability couldn't resist the hypnosis spirit skill.
Also, from the interrogation, Kaina knew Arum Nok wasn't very talented and appreciated on his home planet due to his weak talent.
Before he was trapped, Arum Nok was completing a mission to trade some resources with other races. One year has passed, so his home planet might think he has died already.
"Can the headquarters send someone here?" Kaina Tsutsumi pondered for a bit and observed Arum Nok's blank look. "I proposed forming an infiltration squad to the Dream God Planet."
Alice(AI) listened to Kaina's statement and responded,
Kaina Tsutsumi nodded and walked out of the interrogation room, leaving Arum Nok with the members of Intelligence Members. She has gotten the surface information, but they could get more later.
Walking to her room, Kaina Tsutsumi sat on her bed and cultivated Red Cloud Heaven Arts. As Kaina waited for the response from the headquarters, she always trained herself.
Red Cloud Heaven Arts is "purposely." separated into ten different layers, corresponding to one's cultivation realm.
Kaina is currently at 9th Layer, trying her best to break through.
Before the war against the Sun and Moon Empire, Kaina's Spirit Rank was level 98 and reached level 99 shortly after. Yet no matter how hard Kaina tried, she couldn't break through level 100, as if she got limited by something.
She knew level 100 was the first step to the Realm of Gods.
"Am I being too impatient?" She smiled helplessly.
Kaina Tsutsumi left the My Hero Academia's world because she wanted to escape her past. The corrupted system of justice and evil makes her feel sick.
She couldn't even hold the hand of young children who admired her without imagining the bloody, dirty hand she had.
The dirty work she did in the shadow, every bullet she fired, made her heart beat in anxiety.
At Tartarus, Yunlong offered her a chance to enter another world. Yes, a world with a primitive system where power trampled everything.
There is no white and black. Everyone is gray except some innocent souls who have just been born.
Yunlong didn't sugarcoat his offer.
All he did was ask, "Do you want to follow me or not."
It was a yes and no question. Kaina Tsutusmi might have played with fire that day by agreeing, but she didn't regret it.
Caw~!
Hiss~!
Kaina opened her eyes, seeing a hawk and a snake on her lap. She giggled and rubbed their heads a little.
They are her contracted Soul Beasts, who provided her with spirit rings to become stronger. She met them in the Star Dou Forest when the Empress initiated the Soul Contracts to boost their strength.
As the first batch of new cultivators, Kaina was lucky to awaken Twin Martial Soul and contracted two Soul beasts.
Knock! Knock!
Kaina heard someone knocking on her room and tilted her head slightly, thinking it was Dr. Wei or Kai Chisaki. "Tsk, I always told them to massage me through Alice(AI)." She clicked her tongue in annoyance.
"I'll kill you guys if you do this one more time-!" Kaina walked to the door and opened it.
Like being struck by lightning, Kaina awkwardly froze because the person who knocked on her door wasn't Dr. Wei or Kai Chisaki.
A tall, handsome man stood before Kaina.
He has long black hair tied in a ponytail, sharp eyebrows, a manly jawline, and a pair of crimson-colored eyes. He wore black boots, purple military pants, a white t-shirt, and a windbreaker.
Even though Yunlong didn't wear his usual clothes, Kaina could recognize him anytime.
And no people dare to imitate his appearance.
After all, this man is the Emperor of the Bright Spirit Empire.
He's also the man who offered her a chance in the past, Yunlong.
"Hmm, you have become quite fierce, huh? Kaina." Yunlong leaned on the wall and teased her with a smile.
Kaina's cheeks gained a hue of rose as she wished to bury herself in the hole at this very moment. Fuck, she was so embarrassed.
'I should have checked the door...' She thought, hanging her head low.
Yunlong shook his head and said, "Well, let's talk about business first."
"I've brought some people from the headquarters, and we agreed to your infiltration squad."
"Yes, Yunlong-sama!"
"Okay, I will also explain the details of our encounter with the Odd-Eyed Race." Kaina nodded, returning to her calm self. "Although Alice has sent the recording, as the person who spoke with the subject, I can attest to some lines too."
They walked in the corridor as Kaina explained more detailed information about the distress signal from Arum Nok. The story continued for a few minutes until they arrived at the meeting room.
As Yunlong entered the room, everyone bowed and greeted him politely.
Yunlong raised his hand and said, "Get up. We have things to do."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The crews and exploration team's division leaders responded immediately.
Yunlong grabbed a seat and casually sat down.
He glanced at Kaina and smiled, "What are you waiting for? You're a captain of this Exploration Team, so sit down, can't you?"
Kaina had a weird expression as she nodded and sat down on a chair, waiting for further notice.
The meeting started.
The information from Arum Nok is "quickly." placed on the table, and Yunlong doesn't have to read it because he reviewed it earlier in the headquarters.
Of course, some crews don't know.
The location of Dream God Planet isn't far. It's just a few billion kilometers away from their current location. They could reach it with a few warp jumps.
After some planning, they decided who would go in the infiltration plan.
Yunlong opened his mouth and raised his hand, saying he'd lead this team. Some people are "actually." worried about his well-being, but they seem to forget he's the strongest person in the alliance.
These people were ashamed of this matter.
At the end of the meeting, five people will follow Yunlong on this mission.
Captain of the Exploration Team, Kaina Tsutsumi.
Vice-Leader of the Exploration Team's Intelligence Squad, Ren Shuyi.
Member of Exploration Team, Kang Tei.
Headquarters' Head Security, Sieg.
Headquarters' Health's Expert, Recovery Girl.
These five people will follow Yunlong to the Dream God Planet. They'll act as Arum Nok's benefactor, probing some details and information.
"Recovery Girl?" Kaina Tsutsumi blinked her eyes in surprise.
"Yunlong-sama, you brought her here?"
"I couldn't do anything about it..." Yunlong shrugged helplessly.
Kaina looked around the meeting room and added, "But I don't see her in the room?"
"About that..." Yunlong gazed at the door.
"Yunlong, I'm here!" The meeting room's door was "suddenly." opened. A feminine voice echoed.
Everyone glanced at the door and was shocked.
"How could this be..." Kaina's eyes widened in disbelief.
"R-Recovery Girl?"
