Chapter 1269 - 1017: A Little Trick

"Hehe, so that’s how it is," Ruosha seemed to hear a hint of relief in the tone of the Sixth Apostle.

"Then, I also have some questions I’d like to ask you, Little Six," Ruosha suddenly said.

"Hehe, sure, what questions do you have?" the Sixth Apostle asked with a laugh, seemingly in a much better mood than before.

"How long ago did you awaken this Star Devourer?" Ruosha immediately pulled out a little notebook and began to take notes.

"I can’t quite remember, hundreds of years have made me forget such trivial matters," the Sixth Apostle said.

"So, how did you awaken the Star Devourer?" Ruosha asked again.

"We made a temporary landing on this planet, and I inadvertently touched a Teleportation Array, which teleported us all in. After passing through a series of labyrinths, we touched the core of the Star Devourer, which can be considered an accidental awakening," the Sixth Apostle explained.

"Then, what kind of power did you receive from the Star Devourer? Is it just immortality?" Ruosha kept asking like a curious child.

"Of course not just that, we also received a powerful force capable of shaking the entire space," the Sixth Apostle said.

"Really! What is it, what is it?" Ruosha’s eyes widened in amazement.

"That is the Kela Particles, a magical power capable of changing the state of matter and space," the Sixth Apostle said.

"The name sounds pretty unremarkable," Ruosha shook her little head.

"The name isn’t important, what matters is that this power allows us to change the form of matter at will, like this."

As he said that, the Sixth Apostle raised his hand, and a leaf flew over from afar, landing in Ruosha’s hands.

"Guess, how heavy can this leaf be?" the Sixth Apostle asked.

"How heavy can it be?"

Ruosha gently blew on the leaf, and it lifted into the air, then fell back into the Sixth Apostle’s hands.

The Sixth Apostle smiled slightly, the Kela Particles vibrated, and then he extended his hand.

"Try it this time?"

Isrile leaned in and lifted the leaf with her hand.

"This is easy."

Now it was the Sixth Apostle’s turn to be surprised.

Because he had infused the leaf with Kela Particles, that leaf was now even heavier than either Isrile or Ruosha. Yet, Isrile picked it up as if it were weightless, and most importantly, there was no vibration of the Kela Particles.

"Hahaha!"

Ruosha burst into laughter, and Isrile chuckled too, casually tossing the leaf onto the ground. The heavy leaf made a solid thud as it landed, and due to its increased weight, the leaf shattered into pieces on the ground. It appeared that the Kela Particles changed not just the weight but also the structure of the matter.

At this moment, the Sixth Apostle realized that the two little girls were far from as clueless as they seemed.

"So, this thing is called Kela Particles," Ruosha said with a smile, while closing one hand as if grasping something. Then she flipped her hand over, and with a thud, an invisible object fell to the ground.

It was invisible, but the Sixth Apostle could feel it. Just now, Ruosha had used the Kela Particles to condense the air, turning a clump of air in her hand into a heavy solid. Because it was originally air, it was invisible, but the sound it made when it hit the ground was real.

"So, you’ve also mastered how to use Kela Particles," the Sixth Apostle said, looking at Ruosha.

"Yeah, I didn’t know how before, but ever since these two little ones came to my side, I suddenly gained this strange ability, which might be the grace of the Star Devourer you mentioned," Ruosha said.

"Very likely!" the Sixth Apostle’s eyes almost began to glow.

"So, you’ve seen us now. Do you have anything to say?" Isrile asked. Although some information had been exchanged just now, there wasn’t much of real use.

"Actually, I just wanted to see you, and I don’t have any more questions," said the Sixth Apostle surprisingly.

"Well, we have a question," Isrile said.

"What question?" the Sixth Apostle asked with a smile, seeing that these two young girls were indeed just as the old Apostle had said, with a fear-nothing, dare-anything character. Perhaps it was precisely because they had been prodigies since childhood that they had developed such temperaments. He was now somewhat curious about what exactly they would say.

"You’ve been committed to awakening the Star Devourers, haven’t you?" Isrile asked.

"Yes, that’s right. All of us, The Seven Apostles, are working tirelessly every day precisely for the purpose of awakening the great Star Devourers," the Sixth Apostle said with a look of sanctity.

"So where are you stuck at the moment?" Isrile inquired.

"Heh, I’m stuck at a place you currently have no means of resolving," the Sixth Apostle replied.

"I don’t believe that," Ruosha took up the thread. "The research institute below has always been studying various problems, it’s clear that the issues they investigate must be the ones urgently requiring solutions. Otherwise, what would be the point in researching those questions that already have answers? We have worked our way up from the bottom, and every issue they are attempting to solve has great coherence, connecting these questions together. We have basically figured out the outline of your current difficulty. So, I really don’t believe there is any problem we can’t solve."

The Sixth Apostle’s face grew unpleasant to look at. All this time, no one had ever dared to talk back to them, the First-generation Apostles. Their words were commands, and everyone had to obey without question. But these two girls obviously didn’t see it that way, and according to the old Apostle’s report, ever since they had arrived here, they had always treated everyone with a sense of superiority.

"As I said, it’s not a problem you can solve, and now you may leave." With those words, the Sixth Apostle waved his hand, and Mana mixed with Kela Particles lifted the two up into the air. They landed on the platform, which had returned at some unknown time, and then the platform sped forward.

"Sixth Apostle! Remember my words! I will awaken the Star Devourers to show you!" Ruosha shouted loudly.

The Sixth Apostle’s gaze turned dark, and he returned to his seat without a word. After that, he immediately calmed down.

On the flying platform, Isrile and Ruosha maintained their silence. They seemed to be quite angry as two little Star Devourer cores orbited around Ruosha, appearing to comfort her. Upon returning to the place of their baptism, the old Apostle hurried forward and asked, "How was your interaction with the First-generation Apostle? Did you gain anything?"

Isrile let out a cold laugh. "Gain? The only thing we gained is that those few guys are a bunch of arrogant idiots. They just need to tell me the problem, and I would definitely be able to awaken the Star Devourers, but he just wouldn’t tell me. Pretending to be some otherworldly sage just because he learned a bit about using Kela Particles, how contemptible!"

The old Apostle had thought that these two arrogantly spirited children would become somewhat more restrained after interacting with a First-generation Apostle. After all, the First-generation Apostle’s power and knowledge were certainly not something ordinary people could compare with. But unexpectedly, these children were still full of disdain! To what extent could their pride go if they even looked down on a First-generation Apostle?

However, Isrile had just mentioned Kela Particles, a precious power obtained by the First-generation Apostles from the Star Devourers. Yet it seemed that Isrile even dismissed the Kela Particles, capable of altering matter and space, as insignificant?

"Miss Lily, please don’t speak so disrespectfully of the esteemed First-generation Apostles. What exactly happened that made you so angry?" the old Apostle asked.

"What else could it have been? I told him that I might have guessed where you all are having trouble in awakening the Star Devourer. And what does he do? He kicks me out. Is that a sign of a guilty conscience?" Isrile was not one to hold her tongue.

The old Apostle was also somewhat bewildered since, in his memory, the First-generation Apostles were filled with dignity, but not unreasonable people. Especially in their loyalty to the Star Devourers, they would never pass up any opportunity to awaken them once they heard of a possibility.

"Could it be that you showed disrespect to the great First-generation Apostles?" the old Apostle asked.

"We’re just two girls under the age of ten, how disrespectful could we possibly be?" Isrile retorted.

"This..." The old Apostle laughed a little. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, that would be one thing. But the sheer arrogance of these two girls—when it came up, it would take a level of composure beyond that of different Planes to tolerate.

"Or let me ask you this, have my sister and I ever gone out of our way to provoke anyone?" Isrile pressed with her question, which left the old Apostle at a loss. He thought back carefully, and indeed, in the past period or, to be precise, since these two young girls had come here, they really had never provoked anyone. In most cases, their pride was merely pride. Such pride could completely be understood as a combination of the temperament of geniuses and that of children. But if ever provoked, the two of them would certainly never back down.

"Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding. Stay calm, I’ll explain the situation to the First-generation Apostles later," the old Apostle said with a smile.

"Honestly, I don’t believe you could clarify anything. It might even be better if you didn’t go; after going there, those unreasonable fellows might just end up feeding you some strange theories."

Isrile was unsparing with her words, while the old Apostle only smiled, indicating that the First-generation Apostles had truly stepped on their tails this time.

Isrile and Ruosha returned to their residence, while the old Apostle left midway, ostensibly to explain the situation.

In their home, after Isrile repeatedly made sure there were no problems around, she asked in a low voice, "Did you notice anything wrong?"

Ruosha nodded, "The young Star Devourer cores show fear towards the First-generation Apostles. If we go by their own accounts, if they did awaken the Star Devourer by accident and are committed to fully awakening it, then the young Star Devourers should regard them as their closest kin. These young Star Devourers are just like the offsprings of animals, their intelligence is quite simple, and they will instinctively draw close to or fear someone. Therefore, if they’re afraid of the First-generation Apostles, it must be because those as First-generation Apostles did something outrageous. Additionally, I noticed a detail: when those First-generation Apostles used Kela Particles, those young Star Devourer cores showed a great degree of aversion. You don’t know, if I hadn’t been calming them, they would have even tried to attack the Sixth Apostle just now."

Isrile said in surprise, "Is it that serious? I remember when they found out you had Kela Particles, they were very happy."(To be continued.
