Chapter 1148: Unknown Elemental Orbs

Since Alex's Space Element had been known, he offered to use his Teleportation Array to travel through outer space to save time to which she agreed.

Of course, Alex didn't use his full speed to avoid the Magic Goddess from knowing his style was close to that of the Dungeon God's.

Her planet wasn't that far from their current planet, so they managed to reach there in a few hours. It was no wonder that Rubia chose to go alone without any Teleportation Array since it only took her three days of constant flying. It was just a small price to pay.

When they arrived on her planet, she invited them in to see her world.

To his surprise, this world looked modern enough.

"Hmm… This world looks like it has the same level as Earth's technology," Alex muttered while scanning the place. There were many skyscrapers, but they looked the same as those on Earth. The Blackwade Clan had more advanced appearances to be honest.

He also saw cars and such, albeit it had been adjusted to Spiritual Energy instead of gasoline. It didn't do any harm to the world, so the purity of this world could keep at this level.

"Look! We all have this kind of building and transportations. You know, if we look out the window while we are working and see so many things at once from up there, you will feel refreshed again… That kind of thing? And do you know this transportation called cars? They can let you travel even if you don't have power." Rubia explained things with an excited smile.

She seemed to be very proud of her world, which had this advanced technology.

However, Alex shook his head and said, "Teleportation Array is better."

"That's where you're wrong. People love to possess something and if they can have it for their method to visit another place far away from them, they will do it because they will have more time with family than the Teleportation Array. This was proven as soon as I started my business to create all those. Of course, the idea came from another world."

Alex shrugged. "So? You can still domesticate the monsters as a travel method."

"It seems that you refuse to believe in anything I say, eh?" Rubia felt something wrong and knew that Alex wouldn't agree to anything.

"So you are not that dense?"

Rubia rolled her eyes and sighed. "Anyway, I will lead you to my home."

She waved her hand and flew to the west, heading straight to a certain skyscraper.

"This is my house. I am living there. Of course, the bottom floors are used for my office." She smiled. "How about it?"

Alex looked at this white skyscraper without anything that stood out.

"I don't understand what you're excited about." Alex facepalmed and shook his head. "Though I know that your treasury is right below this building."

"!!!" Rubia drew a gasp and looked at his eyes. "Your Spirit Eyes… Ah, I almost forgot that your Spirit Eyes were the dream of every single Magical Girl. You could see the flow of energy so easily."

Alex shrugged. "So, let's enter and not waste our time here."

"Tch. You're a boring guy." She clicked her tongue.

"Hmm?" Alex narrowed his eyes.

She forced a smile and stretched her hand. "Nothing. Let's go inside."

Alex followed her and went inside her apartment from the top. She then showed her pool or any other facility that her house had before entering the elevator to go down.

Because of Alex's pressure, Rubia decided not to waste time anymore, especially in front of many people to avoid making him angry.

As soon as they arrived on the first floor, Rubia led him through the corridor on their left before going around in a maze. After that, they found a giant metal door where two Rank 5 Gods watched the door.

"Magical Girl Rubia. Please accept our bow." The two suddenly acted as if they were on drugs and waved their hands like crazy.

Normally, she would smile and wave back, but Alex's glare became more intense when he saw something like that.

His voice echoed in her ears, saying, "You must love to be called that, eh? Magical Girl?"

Gulped down, she ignored him and channeled her power into the door. "Esta."

A magic circle made its appearance before it spun a few times, acting like a key.

After everything was done, the door was opened. Rubia asked Alex to enter with her.

She didn't forget to close it again to prevent anyone from entering.

It turned out that they needed to go through a few more floors underground before arriving at the most important room.

"Please wait here," Rubia asked politely, wishing Alex didn't enter the treasury to know what was inside.

Alex respected her that much and gave her privacy.

It took her an hour before she finally came out with a single round crystal in her hand.

"What's this?" Alex widened his eyes and looked at it with his Spirit Eyes, finding that the orb turned out to be the crystallization of Divine Energy instead.

"This is a Divine Orb. After doing some research, we have found a way to crystalize Divine Energy, allowing us to absorb that energy back to our body to increase our cultivation speed by at least half. Of course, this can only be done once in your entire life or it will damage the foundation of your body."

"Hmm?" Alex narrowed his eyes, feeling a bit suspicious. However, he couldn't see anything wrong with the orb, so he thought he could trust her a bit.

"This orb is the crystallization of my Divine Energy. It took me a hundred years to even make one, so I hope this is enough to apologize for my rudeness earlier."

"!!!" Alex widened his eyes, never expecting that she would give something that big. He began to contemplate whether to give her something in exchange since this was quite a big gift. Although he didn't need to exchange it with something at the same level because of the favor, he thought that the thought was important.

[How about giving her the Unknown Elemental Orb? I think she can analyze that thing from the system. It will be a big win for her and we can also get the benefit by getting an explanation from her. After that, we can set up a business trade between the two planets. I think that's a good idea.]

Alex thought for a moment and said inwardly, "Asked Sherry and Korzan."

[One minute.]

While waiting for their answer, Alex tried to buy time. "Such an expensive gift… I feel like I can't accept this one for an apology."

"This is the only thing I have to help you with your cultivation. I am afraid that none of my treasures will pique your interest, so rather than giving so many things at once, it's better to help you for the final battle. I'm trying to fulfill my role as your ally, you see." Rubia made a weird smile.

Alex contemplated for a few seconds until Lin Xingzhi gave an answer.

[Both said yes.]

Alright, he hurriedly said, "How about this… I have something I want you to take a look at."

"What is it?"

Alex took out an Unknown Elemental Orb and showed it to her. "This."

Suddenly, both her eyes brightened as she stared at the orb intensely, feeling the mysterious power in it. The orb itself contained Fire, Water, Ice, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Space, Dark, and Light elements, yet, it didn't give a feeling of that power. It was as if this orb was the crystallization of those elements.

"This… Orb… Can you sell it to me? I will buy it with everything you want. Wait! Why don't I offer myself? You will get a beautiful wife as well as the mystery of this orb unless you already know it." Stars appeared in her eyes as she shook Alex's body. Her face was close to his already, so Alex couldn't help but grab her face and push it away.

"You're too close." Alex sighed and took out another one. This time, he took out the Ice Elemental Orb since Letizia hadn't used it yet.

"Wait, this one contains a powerful Ice Element? It's different from the first one. It doesn't have any element other than Ice Element. No, it's probably the crystallization of an Ice Disturbance. Can I research about this?"

"How about we have a deal? I will let you study this under the premise that you will also share the information with Eulja. I can provide more of these crystals in the near future. I believe before long we can have a trade agreement."

"I'm on it." Rubia's eyes had no trace of doubt that something like that would happen. Suddenly, she dropped to the ground as if she realized something and sobbed. "To have your former enemy feed you something this good and even make such a deal is frustrating."

"Can you stop overreacting already? I'm already sick of it." Alex let out a long sigh. "If you don't want to, then I will just ask Eulja to research it. It may take a longer time, but I believe they can do the same."

"No, no! Please let me research it." Rubia grabbed his hands with excitement.

"Anyway, the deal will be simple. You're going to provide me information about your research and you have the right to mass-produce it in the future. Anything more will be determined in our business agreement in the future."

Rubia contemplated for a moment and nodded her head since she didn't lose much in this deal, considering that the potential of that orb might be higher than the orb she had.

"I, Rubia…" She initiated the Universe Oath to which Alex followed right after, sealing the deal.

Rubia then grabbed the floating orb and handed it to Alex. "This is the orb."

Alex nodded and gave the Unknown Elemental Orb to her. "I can only give this one to you because the other one is for my wife. Well, I will give you another one…"

Alex took out a few more Unknown Elemental Orbs that he had gotten in his journey.

Rubia's eyes couldn't stop shining as she looked at all these treasures.

"You're satisfied, right?"

"Yep, yep. I'm satisfied. I should have befriended you this whole time instead of getting caught up with the alliance thing. I would have started researching these precious treasures already. Ugh, is this the legendary scene where your enemy actually has anything you like? I mean, you know… Your enemy seems to have everything while your ally only has one or two."

Alex shrugged and ignored her idiotic comment. "Alright. Since we're done here, I need to go for another adventure."

Rubia waved her hand while smiling. "Have a nice trip."

She couldn't hide that smirk because the Unknown Elemental Orbs actually related to the source of her power. That was why she was excited. Not only could she unravel this mysterious orb and potentially mass-produce it, but she could also use it to increase her strength.

Alex, who didn't have an idea about it, simply used his Teleportation Array to go back to the previous world.
