Plundering in the Apocalypse



On the other side of the portal was a world made of chaos. Everything in that world is the creation of Chaotic Energy.

Just in Alice's line of sight, there were trillions of Souls. Some are weaker like civilians, others are warriors. Souls of various species can be seen there.

Even the animals, monsters, and trees. Everything was made of Chaotic Energy. Alice saw a castle which for some reason she found very familiar.

Her mind moved just as he consciousness entered the Portal. Alice saw something that made her blood boil.

All trillions of souls turned to look at her and kneeled in respect. They revered her as if looking at their God.

With a white flash, Alice's consciousness disappeared from there and she found herself back in the sanctuary.

*Haah* *Haah*

While she was still trying to calm the rapid beating of her heart. An amused voice sounded beside her.

"So~ Did you find it~?"

Adult Alice was talking about the source of the Chaotic Energy. But Alice didn't have the heart to answer her. Instead, she asked in a low voice.

"... What was that?"

"What do you mean?" Adult Alice pretended to be puzzled.

Alice ignored Adult Alice's pretentiousness and asked blankly, "What is that place?"

"Tsk. So boring." Adult Alice pouted. Then with a slight smile, she said. "Didn't you find that place familiar?"

Alice didn't answer and kept staring at her. Her silence was her acquiescence to her question.

Adult Alice didn't care, she knows herself well.

"That's our Domain."

Alice's pupils shook slightly as she had a guess in her mind. As if confirming her thoughts, Adult Alice continued.

"In simple words. It's our world, a world we created."

Alice's pupils shrank and her breathing became intense for a moment. But looking at Adult Alice who seems so calm as if they were having a casual chat made Alice regain her composure.

With a frown on her face and inquisitive eyes, Alice asked doubtfully.

"You said my Soul Space is connected to the source of Chaotic Energy. Is that world the source of Chaotic Energy you were talking about?"

With the large amount of Chaotic Energy that Alice had seen she felt that might be the case. But Adult Alice shook her head in denial and said.

"No. It's not."

"Huh? But didn't you say..."

Before Alice could speak further Adult Alive cut her off.

"I told you it's our domain and we are the ones who created that place." She said as if hinting at something.

Alice's expression was plain as she was still confused. But after registering what she meant by her words her eyes widened in disbelief and she exclaimed in shock.

"Are you telling me that we are the source of Chaotic Energy?!"

When she asked this Alice herself felt unbelievable.

Adult Alice nodded and said, "Though it's true but not entirely. We are the source but not the origin. In a certain sense, we were the rulers of Chaotic energy."

With a sigh, she continued. "What you saw just now was our domain in a different dimension. When we were at our peak we had the absolute rule over Chaotic Energy. But as we lost the strength and are now sealed and even revoked of over authority. Things have become a lot different."

Thinking of the enemies they were going to face in the future her expression was solemn.

Alice didn't notice Adult Alice's current emotions. She just shook her head and said, "I don't understand."

Adult Alice suppressed all the unwanted thoughts and smiled at her, as she said, "Well that's normal, you will know everything when the time comes. You just have to remember that Chaotic Energy is not just accessible energy for us to use. We are its source. We make Chaotic Energy by collecting and converting the negative thoughts of a soul."

Although Alice didn't understand many things she still nodded her head.

"Well anyway now that you understand. Can you try summoning Soul Servants without Soul Grimoire?"

Alice nodded her head with a serious expression and closed her eyes. Remembering the feeling she had in her domain she focused on accessing it.

As she opened her eyes her pupils were scarlet red.

"Remember only 100 points." Adult Alice reminded.

Alice nodded, telling that she remembers. Then with a wave of her hands, she summoned her Soul Servants.

Dark shadowy humanoid figures sprouted from the ground one by one and a moment later 5 Soldier rank Soul Servants appeared in front of Alice.

"Why are there only 5?" Alice mumbled with a frown.

It has to be mentioned that when Alice summons her Soul Servants (Soilder Rank) with the help of Soul Grimoire. She could easily summon 10 for 100 points of Chaotic Energy. But now with the same amount of energy used, she could only summon half than before. How could she be willing?

Adult Alice saw her unwilling expression and explained teasingly.

"It's all because your control over Chaotic Energy is not at that level. Soul Grimoire should be used for your support but you have become too dependent on it. You don't know the actual use of Soul Grimoire."

Alice was to refute her words but Adult Alice's next actions made her shut up.

With a wave of her hands. Adult Alice also summoned Soul Servants. A thousand Soldier Rank Soul Servants appeared in front of them. But that's not all. Just with a glance, anyone could see the difference between Alice and Adult Alice's summons.

If Alice's summons is just a shadowy humanoid figure. Then Adult Alice's summons is like a soldier wrapped in black clothes from head to toe.

Moreover, their features are easily distinguishable. There are even weapons on hand. Some had a black broad sword, some had shields and long swords, and so on.

The difference is huge.

Alice looked at the army in front of her and asked while pointing her finger at Adult Alice.

"Didn't you say, only 100 points?"

"Yes."

"... So what is this?"

"Just like I said. They are what I summoned with 100 points of Chaotic Energy."

Her words made Alice understand just how poor she was at controlling Chaotic Energy. She was a little depressed. Understanding is one thing but looking at her, infuriatingly annoying expression, accepting it is difficult.

So she wanted to argue.

"... But you also said only Soldier Rank."

"Yes, they are Soldier Rank." Adult Alice said calmly.

Alice's lips twitched as she looked at them again. 'From where do they look like Soldier Rank.'

Soldier Rank summons are the weakest batch of Soul Servants in Alice's arsenal. But in Adult Alice's hands, she could see that each of them was far more powerful than the group of elves she met in Polaris City.

'Just what level of strength do they have?'

From the powerful force she was feeling from them, Alice was certain that even one of them could kill Aurora in seconds.

And maybe she was still underestimating them.

Well, it wasn't that surprising considering that Adult Alice was an immortal existence. That means her strength should also be something far more than she could even imagine.

"From where does it seem like we are having a command battle? My side doesn't even have a chance."

After coming out of shock Alice exclaimed in annoyance.

This battle is like 5 ants fighting a thousand elephants.

Where do they have a chance?

Looking at Alice's depressed expression Adult Alice's grin widened.

'Is this the joy of testing myself?'

Shaking her head she said. "I was just giving you a look at what can be done with good control of Chaotic Energy."

She waved her hands and the next moment all her thousand summons disappeared leaving a cluster of Chaotic Energy which she absorbed back inside her body.

"You should recycle what you can. It a waste leaving them like that."

Alice nodded agreeing with her words.

"Now, I'll summon the same number and level as you. So there won't be a power advantage on either side."

With those words, Adult Alice summoned five shadowy summons that looked exactly like that of Alice's.

"Let's start the first round in the count of three."

When Alice heard this she looked at her seriously.

"3"

"2"

"And begin."

Immediately both of them gave their summons the order to fight.

'2 from the left, 2 from the right. One in the middle. Attack them.'

Alice gave them orders inside her mind. But Adult Alice on the other hand smirked as if easily seeing through what Alice was trying to do.

'Make a circle facing your backs. Odds will defend. Even will attack. Kill them one by one.'

Her order was simple by much organized.

At the same time, all the shadowy fighters made their moves as they were commanded.

Alice's summons encircled Adult Alice's summons and attacked them.

But under that perfect coordination of attack and defence. Alice summons lost within seconds.

"It looks like I won the first round." Adult Alice said with a mocking grin.
