Endless Journey: Infinite Realms Chapter 711 You're a Monster!

Chapter 711 You“re a Monster!

While Alina was back to her antics with her 'rival', one of her allies is currently busy with her own problems.
But unlike Alina who's still busy quarreling with Wisteria, the things that her ally have done were way different than hers….
______________
CHURCH OF WISDOM, LAB OF EVOLUTION.
"That blasted vixen! I told her to not move that much today, but she still insisted to go out? And she actually dared to quarrel with Astria again, when I told her to not to? Argh, that Alina really does not listen to me!"
A white-clad Professor Frances, whose face was currently blackened with wrath, said these words with great anger.
Both of her hands trembled at this time, with her left hand almost smashing down the tube that she held. She was fortunately able to keep it still, although one little push from behind her could be enough to disturb her already chaotic balance….
"Tsk, Alina's overall abilities might have improved now because of the change on her skin, but that does not mean that she can act this wily today. Did she forget about the fact that Alex was still aiming for her?"
It was obvious from the professor's face that she was angry, and if it weren't for the fearful looks given by her lab assistants, she could have made a large mess in the lab already.
"Heh, Alex might look like he's not attacking Alina now, but I can see that he's planning to do something about her once we go to that 'Ancestral Tomb' place…"
"Did Alina not notice that? Or did she already know it, and she just did not talk about it because she's suspicious about us?"
"Ugh, whatever the case is, I can see that something's wrong with Alina…"
"Tsk, Alina can be cunning sometimes, but when it comes to Alex, she becomes a dense idio- Argh! Alina and Astria are quarreling again for the second time today? Those two b***hes! I told them to stop making a mess with each other already! They're just wasting their time on useless things!"
"Argh! This is so much pissing me off!"
Because she had been recently cultivating her soul in accordance to her Soul Magic, each emotion displayed by Professor Frances can produce auras that will have varying effects on anyone near it.
In today's case, Professor Frances' anger induced a wave of pain upon those near her, creating a scene of suffering and pain inside the lab.
Each assistant could barely hold their bodies together once they were hit with the aura, with most of them suddenly near the brink of death.
In fact, there are 3 amongst these assistants that are only a brush away from death, and a single touch on their bodies can actually kill them easily!
Fortunately for everyone affected, the irate Professor Frances realized what her aura had done.
"Tsk, that blasted woman. I swear once I see her later, I will remind her why she should stay still…."
Upon seeing the state of her assistants, Professor Frances could only sigh as she reluctantly held her anger in. The blaze in her eyes were forcefully suppressed by her too, which further reduced the intimidating pressure inside the lab.
"…."
Since it was impossible for the professor to stay fully calm, there are still some anger present on her body, but this amount of anger was already bearable to her assistants.
"…."
________________
The professor's act of keeping her anger in might have saved her 81 assistants, but that did not mean that they were already let off by her.
Professor Frances might be calm right now, but she still wanted to vent her anger on something else.
And that something naturally became her assistants, who she knew had no way of resisting her.
"Hey! Why are you looking at me like that, huh? Don't you have any work to do? Go on, and just do them!" Professor Frances shouted out as she glared at her petrified assistants. "If I don't see you doing my tasks within 15 seconds, I will deduct points from your theses!"
The professor made sure to include some bits of her Soul Magic to her voice, which was obviously enough to make these 81 people scamper to their places.
"Rumble…."
The assistants assigned on taking care of the plants began maintaining them with more affection, while those tasked on collecting organs or preserving unique specied did their jobs with greater fervor.
As for those assigned with rearing extremely dangerous beasts, they were now able to ignore the danger in their lives as they fearlessly brought food to these monsters.
"…."
The sight of these assistants doing their best on their tasks made it obvious that they fear Professor Frances.
Aside from that, it is also apparent that these assistants are afraid of performing any actions that will make her angry, to the point that most of them did their utmost best to keep her pleased.
From these weird actions alone, it is easy to infer that these assistants were all subservient to the professor, and that they seem to have no problem following her orders….
This inference is of course hard to believe, since the place that Professor Frances was currently in was a place that should not have allowed things like this to happen!
More specifically, this place was the Lab of Evolution, a place that only follows the strictest protocols and the most rigid of scientific methods, where only the best researchers or seekers of biological knowledge are allowed to enter.
Such place is considered as an extremely competitive environment for many, but this place had been surprisingly taken over by Professor Frances!
And to make matters even more astounding, all the previous high-ranked researchers in this lab had been turned by Professor Frances into her assistants, which are the same scared people that she had been shouting all this day!

"Tsk, Alina might be unruly today, but she still knows her limits. So I expect her to be able to rein herself in once her quarrel with Astria gets worse."
"As for that damned Alex, although I am not sure what he is thinking, I have the feeling that his plans in the Ancestral Tomb will be both beneficial and dangerous to us…"
"These two people are problematic by themselves, but I already knew their problems, so I have no worries about them for now."
The sight of her assistants doing their best to please her had managed to soothe Professor Frances' heart a little, but this was not enough to make her fully calm.
After all, it was not only Alina's situation and Alex's weird actions that are plaguing her mind…
"The real problem that I have is Queen Mother, as her current state today is just not right! And I don't even have any explanations on why she's been acting like this!"
There is still the matter about Queen Mother, a person who Professor Frances did not expect to be worrying about today.
Alina or the Church of Wisdom can say all that they want about Queen Mother, but their words cannot deny that 'something' is going on with her.
And this 'something' is obviously bad, since the current Queen Mother was someone who even the rowdy Professor Frances could not feel familiar with!
"That tree woman… I thought she is the most level-headed and rational individual out of our group. Since she's the oldest out of all of us, she should have been the one with the most wisdom and is the one that is resistant to sudden changes."
"But after we escaped from Alex, Queen Mother's personality and actions had drastically changed."
"She did not act like a civilized being anymore. She seemed to follow her instincts more, and she appeared to have forgotten how to use her special abilities."
"Her way of fighting and thinking have reverted back to basic levels too, as she is now interested on just eating her enemies or torturing them."
"…Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just her weird actions alone are worrying already. Add her sudden savagery, and it is apparent that Queen Mother is not normal anymore!"
For Professor Frances, she could only see Queen Mother as another monstrous being as of now, which is a great contrast to the tree woman's supposedly composed thinking and poised body.
"Heck, she even asked me earlier if she can mate with Alina to bear some children! Is that a kind of question that the normal Queen Moher could ask?"
"Of course not, so there is no way that I can trust the current Queen Mother!"
"I don't know what is making Queen Mother act like this, but I know that if I let this go on, things will just get worse!"
"Queen Mother might turn into a savage monster, or worse, she could turn into a being that is just as evil or cunning as Alex!"
