Chapter 799: Return from space
Five days later~
The sun shone brightly in the sky, giving its warmth to the earth. There were barely any clouds in the sky to provide any shadows.
People didn't even leave their homes in such scorching heat without carrying umbrellas.
It was one in the afternoon when the sky suddenly started to darken.
Instead of finding it odd, people took it as a relief, thinking that maybe it was because of the clouds. Just as people looked up to bless the clouds, they noticed that there wasn't a single cloud in the sky.
Instead, there was something that was slowly covering the sun.
"Solar Eclipse?" Some wondered, but the shape in which the sun was being covered didn't look the same as a solar eclipse.
Before long, the entire sun was covered entirely. Not a single shred of light came to earth. The day suddenly turned to night, making people odd.
In some observatories, some scientists also found it off. Today wasn't supposed to be a solar eclipse. They all went to their machines and started looking towards the sun, zooming as much as they could.
"This isn't a Solar Eclipse!" The leading scientist exclaimed as he stood up from his chair, shocked.
As the picture became clear, he realized what it was.
"It... It isn't the moon covering the sun! It's a ship! Such a massive ship! It can cover the entire sun on its own?"
"Spaceship? Did some country make a spaceship and is testing it? Or could it be A-aliens?"
"I doubt a country could've kept this a secret. This doesn't seem to be something that we should make on earth with our current technology. It... It should be aliens."
"Sigh, really. After we went through the Dungeon Dweller Invasion, then we overcame Uprising's war on the world and now aliens? Do we ever get a break?"
"Send this information to all organizations and tell them to stay alert for the danger. We don't know what is the intention of these aliens. If they're here to attack us, we need to be ready."
"Yes, Sir."
Lucifer stood inside the massive spaceship, which had a star alliance symbol engraved outside.
He wasn't wearing his old clothes now; instead, he was wearing a white robe. There was no star symbol on his robe. Only a single word was written on it... Alliance.
He stood with Joana, observing earth from space. In the entire ship, only Joana had a star symbol on his chest.
"It does look beautiful from space," Lucifer said, looking at the earth from space.
"So this is really your world. It seems we came to the right place," Joana smirked. "The world that had a life yet was unknown to us. Very fascinating. So, you want to go there alone, or should I help?"
"Help how? Don't you have to go back?"
"Well, technically, I do have to go back. I need to go back to my station. However, I can spend an hour or so here. If you need help, I can provide some?"
"Help... Well, I might need help. Five days have passed. I don't know what might have happened to Uprising in my absence. If the war is still ongoing, you might be able to help."
"War? Oh right, you were in a war here as well. That I can't help you with, as the captain of the ship, I can't take part in the conflicts of another world."
"So I can't fight there either?" Lucifer asked, frowning. "This is stupid.'
"As the official envoy of Star Alliance to this world, you can certainly take part in the conflicts that affect you. The world is in your protection after all."
"But I'm not the envoy for this world, neither is anyone else from my team. So we can't help you fight. But yeah, we can help you find the pieces of stones that you were supposedly looking for. That won't count as meddling in the affairs of this world."
"You can help me with that in an hour? Are you sure?"
"Do you doubt me?"
"It took you literally three days to find earth, after all," Lucifer let out, shaking his head. "An hour seems unlikely."
"That's because we had to search the entire universe for a world similar to what you described. It was hard and time consuming. You're lucky we found this place in three days."
"On the other hand, the stones are still in this world. So we will only need to scan one world for the stones. We should be done in Twenty minutes at best. So, want our help? I won't force it on you."
"If you can help me find the missing stones, why would I say no. Do it." Lucifer nodded, folding his arms.
"Do you have even one stone we can use as a sample? We need to scan the stones and the energy signatures to find the rest."
"One stone..." Lucifer frowned. "I don't have any with me."
He lost himself in thoughts, trying to locate the missing stones.
"Let me remember... I had two stones which were taken by Jian. One belonged to the APF; the other belonged to the Continent of Darkness. I don't know where they are, even now. Third known stone was in the Warlock Council."
"Apparently, it's embedded in a sword and in the world of Summons. It'll be hard to get that in an hour."
"Fourth and fifth were supposedly in an unknown place. Sixth and seventh were yet to be discovered."
"The stone which Milena recovered for me must be the stone that was considered undiscovered. As for the confidential location of the two discovered stones, I needed to wait for the unencrypted data from Warlock Council."
"My people must've decrypted the data by now to find the location of those two stones. But getting them would be time consuming as well. I'll need to take Milena's stone that she recovered for me. It should be the fastest way possible."
"So you can get me a stone?"
"Yeah, it should be easy. I just need to find Milena."
"Milena? I don't think I can help you in finding her. You know where she is?"
"I don't, but I think I know someone who should." Lucifer nodded. "Are you coming down with me?"
Joana smiled as he nodded his head. "Of course. Now that I'm here, it would be bad if I didn't walk on the land of the earth to experience its atmosphere personally."
"Prepare for teleportation on earth!" He commanded the lady in the back.
"Yes, Captain."
"Earth... I hope everyone managed to last five days. It shouldn't be that hard for them though. They had Milena and everyone else, after all," Lucifer said, hopeful about the earth.
