Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 469 The Roaring Earth-Exploding Star!
Ever since Li Xia learned from Aowu that the Hall would label the Apostles based on their performance in the original world...

Then they began to tirelessly 'stir up trouble' and 'make big moves'.

The goal is to one day be recognized by the Hall of Fame as a promising talent, a promising prospect for the "world's struggle."

It now seems that he has achieved his goal, and even performed a little too well.

The Hall of Light places high hopes on them!
In other world wars where the entire world is in chaos, Li Xia's tactics might not be effective.

However, in a unified and powerful peaceful world like Tresya, it can play an unexpected role.

For example, they could lead the Tresya regular army to fight a world war.

"Meeting Aria was accidental, but the conflict between the Tresia Empire and the Divine Kingdom was inevitable!"

Li Xia changed direction and flew towards the direction where Heitan was.

The wind howled, and the clouds swirled. The air currents created by the two people moving at high speed swept through the clouds, creating ripples and leaving a trail in the sky.

"Even without Aria, I would still go to the tomb and eventually meet the vanguard of the divine kingdom."

He can't beat me, so Ainz can't take over the 'tomb' as a base.

In order to avoid being eliminated, the divine kingdom had no choice but to take a risky tactic and directly pollute the university.

Why would they risk gathering all their forces and attacking the tomb with overwhelming power?

Awoo's eyes flashed, and he had already figured everything out:
"Because those people from the Divine Kingdom know that once the affairs of the university are exposed, they will become a thorn in the side of the entire Tresia Empire."

That's exactly the time difference they want!

“That’s right. Aria just accelerated the process. Even without her, I would still go to the graduate school and detonate this bomb.”

In fact, as long as the tomb can be defended, we are guaranteed to win. The divine kingdom doesn't have much time left.

"The advantage really lies with me."

Both the man and the dragon fell silent. Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." The pig who only talks the talk is still a pig that has been castrated by the guild.

They couldn't even last two hours.

"Awoo, you said before that you could attract meteorites?"

Li Xia suddenly broke the silence.

Awoo paused for a moment, then nodded:

"Yes, I can't pull a meteorite directly from space, but I can create one to fall."

"Boss, what do you want?"

"Ok!"

Li Xia's gaze was sharp as a knife as he looked towards the university campus:

"Bombard the university directly! Even if it doesn't kill Gerald, it'll clear the area!"

A wicked smile gradually appeared on Little Dragon's face, and it excitedly said:
"That's awesome! I've been wanting to try out this move for a long time, but I need to prepare!"
"I'll go first, boss. Since it's floating high in the sky anyway, we can just set up a gravity anchor point when it crashes."

Awoo, huddled inside the dragon egg, let out a strange laugh and charged toward the ground to find suitable 'ammunition'.

Li Xia accelerated again, unleashing a powerful surge of air around him as he charged straight toward Sertis.

"Your Highness, do you mean I should immediately assemble all the troops and surround Scholar's City???"

Commander Ruge of the Second Guards stared at Aria in astonishment, shaking his head vigorously.

"That's ridiculous!"

If this princess wasn't referring to Scholar's City, but rather to bandits, robbers, or even other places...

Ruger felt he wouldn't hesitate; who didn't know that this princess was the apple of the eye of the empire's highest-ranking officials?
But Scholar City
Thinking of the princess's 'dignity', Luger composed himself and said sincerely:

“Princess Aria, as you know, Scholar City has a defense level second only to the Royal Palace, and Dean Gerard is even on par with the Prime Minister.”

I could never do such a presumptuous thing, especially considering what you said—

"What kind of mutation? The pollution is far too outrageous; I'm afraid I cannot comply."

Unexpectedly, Alia was not discouraged. She simply nodded, having already anticipated Commander Ruger's reaction.

She hadn't even considered taking Ruger to the university for a confrontation.

Because if Gerrard weren't stupid, he would have pretended to act the same way he had deceived himself.

She took out her pocket watch, looked at it, and said softly:

"They should be here soon, Commander Luger. I'd like to show you something first."

Aliya pulled out a recording stone. Actually, she didn't record anything; it was Heitan who took advantage of his speed and ran back to a distance to secretly record it.

Luger took the stone with a puzzled look. The moment he projected an image into the air, the legion commander, who had participated in numerous battles against barbarians, widened his eyes in disbelief:
"What the hell is this!"

On the screen, the dean's building was in a dilapidated state, with countless twisted and evil tentacles writhing on the ground, slowly repairing the building.

The entire university was deathly silent. The guards stood there with their heads down, unmoved. Even the students and professors in their academic robes seemed to be doing nothing.

"This is what I mean by pollution."

Aria took a deep breath, about to continue speaking, when she saw a guard rushing over:

"Commander, there are three adventurers outside carrying a large iron cage. They claim to be Princess Aria's companions."

You absolutely must come in!

"Phew—Yuna and the others are as punctual as ever!"

Aria let out a long breath, a smile spreading across her face, and said to the guard:

"Yes, they are my partners. Let them in!"

The guard glanced cautiously at Ruger, and seeing that he also nodded slightly, he bowed again and hurriedly left.

Not long after, a commotion arose outside.

Yuna and the others pushed a large iron cage into the room amidst the curious gazes of the soldiers.

Upon meeting her, he excitedly waved his arms at Aliya:
“Aliya, as you said, we ambushed one. The Holy Sealing Scroll you gave us is really useful; it turned into something like a sculpture.”

Ruger's lips twitched. He looked at the 'sculpture' whose attire was clearly that of a guard, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

The Holy Order Magic Scroll was used to seal away a mere soldier.
But he soon noticed something different.

Luger leaned forward, frowning as he stared at a mark on the guard's chest:
"This is—the insignia of the university's guard, is this the dean's bodyguard?"

"Yes, it's the Dean's bodyguard!"

Aria walked solemnly toward the petrified guard and took a deep breath.

A glint of light flickered in his eyes, and the 'Book of Sages' floated in front of him, its pages turning with a rustling sound.

"True Vision: Stripping Away!"

A brilliant light suddenly emanated from the book and shone on the petrified guard.

The petrified surface faded rapidly, and before the bewildered guards could react, they couldn't help but roar.

Tentacles sprouted from his body, and mold and dried black bloodstains appeared on his once-shiny armor.

As Luger's face grew increasingly pale, Aria released a chain that shimmered with holy light, binding the incessantly roaring monster.

He said softly:
"This is the proof!"

Aliya's few words, though seemingly light and airy, seemed to carry a heavy weight.

"Clang!" Luger involuntarily took a step back, his arm bumping into the gold-plated teacup on the table, and the legion commander fell into an unspeakable silence.

Staring intently at the monster bound by chains, even without understanding it, one could sense the chaotic and evil aura emanating from it.

"Does Commander Luger still not believe it?"

Aria, being young, couldn't help but ask Ruger, who remained silent.

"No, it's not that I don't believe it. I do know about the 'True Sight' that Her Highness just released, which is said to be able to strip away all magical disguises."

"Then why haven't you given your opinion yet?"

"Because it's impossible!"

Luger sighed, looking utterly exhausted, and shook his head with a wry smile:

“Your Highness Aria, it is I who cannot. Even if I knew about this and believed it to be true, as a member of the Royal Guard, I have no right to mobilize troops without His Majesty’s orders.”

If you are in deep danger, that's a different story.

It would be my honor to be able to mobilize even one or two small teams to serve you.

But the entire Second Guards Legion had over 30,000 soldiers!

Even if this is the right thing to do, there's only one outcome for me.

Ruger stopped there and did not continue.

Even the slow-witted Aria understood what Ruger meant. She gritted her teeth and cursed in the capital's dialect, "Damn politics!"

The three members of the Moon Silver Wolf group didn't understand what had happened, but they didn't dare to interrupt. They could only look at each other with puzzled eyes.

For a moment, the entire room fell into an eerie silence.

The peace was broken by a meow.

"Meow!"

Aria turned around, ignoring Luger's surprised gaze, and held up the charcoal, excitedly saying:
"Is the writer here?"

Black Charcoal nodded, and the next second a fierce roar came from mid-air, and the soldiers started to shout.

Li Xia's figure suddenly appeared in the room.

"who!"

Ruger instinctively reached for his sword; as a legion commander, his personal strength was quite impressive.

Unexpectedly, Aliya cheered and rushed towards Li Xia, opening her arms and clamping them tightly around his neck, as if she had seen a savior.

Luger sheepishly shoved the knife back in, turned his head, and touched his nose.

A pang of bitterness welled up in his heart again; he had toiled and struggled for decades, yet he was still only a viscount.

Look at them, they just managed to woo a princess and they might be made a prince!
Li Xia frowned, tapped Aliya's forehead with her index finger to push her away, and then looked at Ruger.

The previous conversation in the room was broadcast live by Heitan in the team channel.

Therefore, he asked directly:

“Commander Luger, I want to know what kind of situation Xia can be in where you don’t need to report to the capital, can directly mobilize troops, and not bear any responsibility.”

This is a smart man!

Ruger became serious. He thought about it carefully for a moment and then slowly said:
1. A large-scale riot or rebellion suddenly breaks out around the garrison.

2. Foreign invasion
3. A large-scale disaster has broken out within the jurisdiction of the garrison, requiring the legion to maintain order and implement temporary military control.

After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and nodded:
"That's all for these three points."

"it is good!"

Li Xia readily agreed, saying under Luger's surprised gaze:

"About 3 lar (6 hours) later, there will be a disaster in Scholar City that will be worth your attention."

If a giant meteorite falling from the sky isn't considered a disaster, then what is?
Then he looked at Aria and asked her just as earnestly:

"Your father's side should be well protected, right?"

Aria was taken aback. Although she didn't understand why the writer would ask such a question, she thought for a moment and replied:
"Absolutely no problem, it's as solid as a rock."

"That's good. The golden-armored people are very likely targeting your father. They have already occupied the tomb and expanded it into their base."

There are thousands of people!

All three of them—Aliya, Moon Silver Wolf, and the others—shuddered.

How much?
They recalled the fear and embarrassment they felt when they encountered the golden-armored man in the tomb; such a figure would have given them a hard time.

Thousands of people?
Are they trying to destroy the world?

Furthermore, the fact that those golden-armored people directly corrupted the entire 'University' is enough to prove how cruel and terrifying the other party is.

Aliya couldn't take it anymore, and she jumped up:
"No! I have to contact the teacher; there are thousands of golden-armored men."

She paced back and forth in the room:
"I remember there was a large device in Scholar City that I had just successfully developed when I left the university."

It can transmit images in real time over long distances; I don't know if it's implemented yet.

Ruger finally found a place where he could interject:

"Your Highness is referring to the Instant Mirror, right? Yes, we have three sets produced so far."

One set is in His Majesty's palace in the capital, one set is in Scholar's City, and another set is on the northern frontier.

Aliya clapped her hands excitedly:
"That's good! As long as the teacher sees what happened in Scholar's City, he will definitely be able to persuade Father to send troops to eliminate the Golden Armored Men!"

Hearing this, Li Xia finally nodded with some satisfaction, thinking, "This child is teachable."

"That's settled then. I'll take care of the university, and you, Aria, will handle things at the mausoleum!"

"no problem!"

"Then let's go!"

The university campus remained calm, with scholars carrying books their long black robes fluttering in the breeze.

It was as calm as if nothing had happened.

Li Xia stood atop the tallest tower in the entire university, looking down at the university below from a height of 100 meters.

His Observation Haki silently spread out from his body.

Those who appear normal already possess a strange and evil aura in the perception of Observation Haki.

Even just a few hours ago, Li Xia was perfectly normal.

Is it something like a 'spiritual seed'?

The kind that can mutate instantly with just a catalyst?

He silently gazed at the buildings below until an excited roar came from the team chat:

"Take this Earth Explosion Star from Grandpa Long!"
