Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination Chapter 639 - Underworld Overlord

Chapter 639 - Underworld Overlord

"Black vortex?" Experts, elites, and leaders stared at the strategy room screen.
"Psst, Ely, I think the vortex came from an approaching overlord. If we look at that giant black vortex, then it's definitely a strong one. Trust me, there are no natural disasters in the underworld." Sylvia spikes in a whisper-like voice.
"From someone? Does that person intend to attack us? Another overlord might have come because of the chaos that just happened!" Elysia realized something urgent.
"I think so, Ely. We really should get out of this location. You can tell the others so they can move this giant machine." Sylvia nodded in agreement.
"Mm." Elysia nodded in understanding and raised her hand high to get everyone's attention. "Sorry to interrupt, but we better need to take off from here right away. That gigantic black vortex is a furious underworld overlord! Massive damage and heavy casualties would be incurred if we collided with it."
"What!?" Everyone gasped at Elysia's sudden, shocking statement.
"We only have about ten minutes. Can this mothership fly into the sky in such a short time? We don't have much time, and you'd better give the order now!" Elysia swept her hands aside in her cry. They didn't have time for an explanation from her.
"Very well, we will believe what you say." Mitsuzuka looked at each of the force leaders, and everyone nodded. He then took a walkie talkie. "This is General Mitsuzuka with all Admirals present. Enter air mode, perform emergency flight to avoid the approaching gigantic vortex in the shortest possible time."
"Affirmative. Order received. Mothership enters into air mode. Emergency take-off will commence soon. Please prepare for the shock." The walkie-talkie immediately responded. The red alarm was turned on but with a different warning level.
The mothership shook once again. The turbines, turbojets, and engines activate at the same time to propel the colossal mothership into the air.
Unfortunately, the mothership itself was too giant, and time was needed to soar to the sky. The low-class supernatural beings on the outer edge of the protective talisman barrier fell back into the sea as what they were swarming flew into the sky slowly.
The people in the strategy room felt quite tense and nervous as they watched the gigantic black vortex keep approaching, but they were still at dangerous altitudes.
Erina clasped her hands and prayed. She knew that the black vortex was definitely dangerous, and they just needed to get out of the disaster zone as soon as possible.
"Well, I guess this isn't bad, but why is everyone so nervous? You too, Ely. If you want, I can kick that overlord's ass and get rid of that massive black vortex." Sylvia scratched her head in confusion.
"It's fine, Sylvi. You shouldn't flaunt your impressive power in front of the Earthlings too much. They'll see you as a threat, and we could be branded an elimination target." Elysia whispered softly and put on a nervous expression again.
"Ooh~" Sylvia finally understood. Her friend was just following what others were feeling in this situation.
Minutes passed, and the mothership floated into the air gradually. One hundred, two hundred, until they reached a height of over two kilometers in almost ten minutes.
*swoosh*
The black vortex hit the mothership's bottom part, but it only made it sway a little.
"Praise to the God, we managed to avoid the dangerous vortex." Marco put his finger on his forehead then his shoulders alternately.
"Our warships and submarines were destroyed by that black vortex!?" Adam widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the destruction of the war assets down there. It was regrettable, but it had already happened.
The vortex then struck the same area for some time. After that, it suddenly vanished just like that. Hence, the low-class supernatural beings fell from the sky to form a raindrop.
"What kind of creature is that? Is that what you call an overlord, Miss Elysia? Something on the level or higher of a brown octopus a while ago?" Marco frowned as he watched the surveillance camera capture the figure of a giant human-like creature above the sea surface.
"Hmm, yes, that creature is most likely an overlord, the stronger one to be precise. He's furious that we beat his minion, maybe?" Elysia put her hand to her chin while observing what was on the screen.
Unfortunately, she couldn't get any information because her eye ability was only helpful if she saw something directly, not from the projection of the screen.
The giant black shadow-like creature below looked left and right in confusion. It just crushed the metal scraps, but it couldn't find the gigantic chunks of metal as reported.
That overlord tried to find its target and extracted some information from the nearby low-class supernatural beings. Yet, it couldn't find anything. Thus, the shadow overlord left the location by returning to the sea.
"Phew, it's gone." Elysia wiped her non-existent sweat.
"That creature is like a human shadow three meters tall. How strong was that creature compared to the previous gigantic octopus, if you come to a rough estimate? Could you ask your friend, Miss Elysia?" Kenji asked with a solemn expression.
Elysia then asked Sylvia in Vrelenia and conveyed what she got to everyone. "Much, much stronger than that gigantic octopus. You can use an analogy like this. That gigantic octopus is a district overlord, and that shadow human-like creature is a province overlord. We haven't even met a country or empire overlord yet."
"This is gloomy. The strongest human is only worth a county overlord? How strong are the strongest beings in this realm? This is crazy, no wonder so many humans are desperate and borrow the power of demons." Adam covered his face as if lamenting fate, but he couldn't hide his smile.
"Well, they can live thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. Some are even immortal. Why would mortals want to compete with such astral beings? Only a few humans make it past the age of one hundred. So this is not surprising." Marco shook his head with a sigh.
"But, I've heard stories of people in the past who borrowed supernatural powers. I finally understood what it meant. They borrowed power from underworld beings at a price to pay." Kenji folded his arms as if he could understand another essential thing.
The leaders, experts, and elites then exchange ideas about the theories and their understanding. After that, they returned to their previous key topic.
"Uhm, if you ask me, then it's definitely not a good idea. It's a high risk because that expert squads will obviously be slaughtered when they explore the supernatural kingdom without knowing the rules of the territory here. We can't just explore this realm, let alone search for oil." Elysia shook her head and heaved a subtle sigh.
She gave a vehement rejection of sending an expedition squad or whatever. Moreover, these higher-ups wanted her to be directly involved as if she was a subject under their command.
"After the arrival of the shadow overlord just now, I think sending a squad of experts even with the most advanced weapons is suicide. So, what kind of strategy do you have, Elysia? We need to find the ancient gate of that dimension to return to Earth. However, our fuel here is really limited. We may only survive for a week if we continue to fly, and two months at sea." Mitsuzuka wanted to know what Elysia had in mind, regardless of everything else.
"We can explore using this mothership. You may not have realized it, but my protective talismans can disguise this mothership. Unless the creatures out there watch us closely, no one will notice us." Elysia raised her hand with her suggestion.
"In that case, why are those lower-class demons and ghosts crowding the outermost layer of your protective barrier as if they are about to break in?" Tang Zhou responded suspiciously. It was a bit unreasonable.
"They're just curious because they can't get past their playground, maybe? This mothership is enormous, after all. If my suggestion is accepted, we can leave now.
If possible, deploy espers with eye abilities to check out what's down there. What do you all think?" Elysia looked at everyone somewhat tiredly.
"Understandably, we need to have a brief discussion first to set up our formation and direction afterwards. For now, this meeting is dismissed." Mitsuzuka raised his hand and swung it aside.
The elites left the room, but the leaders and experts were still there.
Erina then immediately approached Elysia. "Elysia-san, you look a bit sleepy, would you like to sleep in the room we have provided?"
"Mm, thanks for your concern, Erina-san. Victor is already asleep and doesn't care about the world. I wonder why she can fall asleep when everyone is talking loudly." Elysia smiled in amusement to see the blackbird on the pillow she was carrying.
"Um, she said the meeting was boring and asked you for a pillow, right? I'm more surprised about how you managed to get a pillow out of nowhere." Erina scratched her head with a confused smile. She was still clueless about Elysia's mysterious abilities.
"Ah, haha, it's just a magic trick. Alright, let's go to the room you were talking about. We'll be safe for now if we get up in the sky without much fuss." Elysia laughed awkwardly and changed the topic.
"All right, let's go there." Erina pointed her palm towards the front, walking next to Elysia.
Sylvia and Mio stared at each other in silence before following Elysia and Erina.
