Millennium Tension

Chapter 168: No Treasure in the Ocean

After spending the night at the world's north pole, they continued their journey across the vast ocean to the western land which Axel estimated had a lot of treasure, Aydrate Continent, the continent with the least population compared to other fertile continents.

"Hum~ Hum~ Hum~ The fish are happy to swim and dance the waves crashing and kya, they get knocked over." Ana was humming melodiously as she looked out the window of their mini aircraft, they dived under the ocean.

"Mm? What do you see outside the window? Something that catches your eye?" Aizen came and sat next to Ana.

"Um, we have almost arrived in the western lands, but there is nothing in this ocean. There are no cities under the sea, superb monsters, relics, treasures, or anything, only oceans with aquatic animals and their ecosystems." Ana looked outside again, and made sure there was nothing that caught her attention.

The day is close to noon, they leave from morning until now just to dive and go here and there to explore while observing marine life. Several thousand kilometers before they arrived at the destination continent, and the girls were getting bored with this boring ocean.

"Yes, it's strange but it's true. In the oceans we sail, we get nothing but to be able to gaze at the unique exotic marine life. The land full of snow and ice in the far north has far more valuable things than this ocean." Aizen nodded in agreement.

"Un, give me a lap." Ana stretched out her hand and moved from the sofa to his lap, and nestled there.

"Hehe... Is Sister Axel not back yet? She has been gone for 10 minutes to check on Bella." Ana giggled happily when she found her comfortable position.

"Erm... She will be back soon, something needs to be checked by her." Aizen put his hand on Ana's waist and contacted Axel through the system from there, and the latter swiftly answered him back.

"Is that so? Erm, maybe we have reached the western continent by then. Brother Aizen, let's speed up this mini aircraft. This ocean has nothing great. Zavier only has precious things on land." Ana asked while looking at Aizen.

Now, there were only Aizen and Ana, also accompanied by five fairies on their beck and call. However, the five girls sitting on the side sofa just waited and didn't say much.

"Alright. When Axel joined us again, we actually arrived at the coast of the western continent. Do you want to play on the beach, Ana? Em, as I recall, there was a film called Treasure Poacher with a theme set on the beach. Do you remember?" Aizen accelerates the pace of mini aircraft and then questions about films that were once popular, when they were still ordinary mortal people.

"Un! I still remember that, a film full of action, mystery, and suspense. The hunt for the legendary treasure that was buried in a cave on the beach is very beautiful. Yes! We can do relic hunting or treasure hunting like that." Ana thought that was a great thing, she totally agreed with the suggestions given.

"You don't want to play on the beach?" Aizen smiled lightly.

"Uh, I haven't answered that yet? That's clear, that's the top priority thing we need to do before we do some treasure hunts. We're going to play on the beach, right? Eight of us?" Ana scratched her head a little, she missed it due to her enthusiasm.

"Yifei and Lian are not counted? Poor them, Ana has forgotten the two of you." Aizen teased her with amusement, he felt sorry for the two girls who couldn't join them yet.

"Eh? Ah, I didn't say that. It's just that, Yifei and Lian are busy destroying or purifying certain things. They haven't told us, and it's already one day passed." Ana became confused as if she had just made a mistake, she panicked a little.

"Well, they said goodbye before entering our Soul Realm so as not to be disturbed, but they are working hard in there. Maybe, tomorrow they will be done with that and can join us. Neutron Core is working and helping far beyond their expectations." Aizen replied casually, he checked the two girls with the main system just to be sure.

"If we are 10 people, it will be perfect for playing beach volleyball in groups. Mmm, one position in the line needs to be vacated." Ana nestled back in a warm embrace, she leaned her whole body against him.

At the same time, a circle of teleportation runes suddenly appeared near them. There appeared an extraordinary girl with beautiful golden hair and blue eyes like matchless jewels.

"Oh my... I'm back." Axel covered her mouth smiling gracefully, she approached and sat beside Aizen.

"Yes, welcome back. What about Bella? The process is going well?" Aizen gave a warm welcome.

"Un, Bella is fine. It's just that the process is a little different from what we expected. Our white dragon is like an undead who will act according to the orders we give through the system. She is completely dead, so Bella won't have her own will, other than what we program for her." Axel shook her head helplessly.

She had an urgent reason to return to [Axel Goddess], to [Robot Space] in the manufacturing unit which was used as an artificial evolution process for the white dragon to become their pet.

With all their advanced equipment and resources, the white dragon could not become what they wanted to be. It's not Bella the [Rank 10] living white dragon that has intelligence, but Bella the [Rank 10] undead white dragon.

It was no different from the mighty white dragon as before, but it was just the dragon's body no longer had anything but a body itself.

"Welcome to join us again, Sister Axel. So, we just need to program Bella to become a white dragon that suits us, right? Then, where did it go wrong, and what's the regret? You look disappointed." Ana glanced with a cheerful smile.

"Oh my, I just went away for a moment and you are happily pampered here, I also want..." Axel sulked first, she did not want to answer it right away.

"Um, you'll get your share later, hehe... Here pat..." Ana used the hand she wrapped around Aizen's waist to caress the poor girl's hair.

"Well, I got a few pats on the head. So, where are we now? Still in the middle of the ocean? Didn't find anything on this underwater journey?" Axel felt lazy to check the system, she only needed to ask like a normal human.

"In a few minutes, we will arrive at the Aydrate continent, the western continent. This ocean is lousy, it seems your guess is correct, Sister Axel. Regarding the ocean and the sea does not hold the treasure valuables that can attract our attention. Very different from the resources that can be found along our arctic journey. Now answer my question earlier." Ana explained kindly.

"Eh? Which one?" Axel rested her head on Aizen's shoulder.

"The one about Bella, is there something wrong and disappointed you?" Ana rolled her eyes, Axel the kind big sister suddenly became a spoiled little sister.

"Oh that, you see, bodies without souls and spirits will only become undead without intelligence. She moves according to orders, we can outsmart that by programming her with the system we installed in the white dragon's massive body. With personality, but it wouldn't be perfect..." Axel let out a soft breath for a moment.

"Bella will continue to be a [Rank 10] white dragon, and if things are really favorable to the undead dragon, she can only become [Rank 12], that's the limit. And worst of all, and to my dismay, Bella would be no better than a robot unit with automated programming in the name of a personality. It has deviated from our expectations, and far from our masterpiece, the seven fairies."

Axel explained in more detail, she was disappointed but not because of anyone, but only disappointed because the results were not as expected.

They didn't expect, that the empty and modified white dragon's body that entered the initial stage on the first day, couldn't have an artificial spirit.

Everything Axel did to fix it failed. When she returned to [Robot Space], she already realized it, Bella would just be another Mecha with a real body, that was all, nothing more.

"Hmm? You forbid us to help because it was a wasted effort? Well, Mecha pet with a living body isn't that bad, right? We got a Divine Class pet candidate without spending too many resources." Aizen shrugged his shoulders slightly.

"Please don't shrug your shoulders like that, Master Aizen. I'm leaning here comfortably~" Axel complained a little.

"Em, to be honest, I don't feel any disappointment. Bella is Bella, my pet, our family pet. At least she's not made of metal, eh? Her outer shell is much harder than metal... Ah, what's clear, it's not. trouble, you don't have to be disappointed, Sister Axel." Ana expressed her opinion to the girl who needed to be comforted because of an attempt that ended in vain earlier.

"Yes, I also have the same thoughts as Ana. We can make things with high combat power later when we get the right resources. Slowly but surely, not in a hurry." Aizen nodded with great advice, but that was for later.

"Aw, thanks. Is that the western continent? Surprisingly we are going at high speed. Really there is nothing that catches your attention in this ocean?" Axel saw land from a distance, they were knitting on the surface of the water at high speed.

The only response Axel got to that question was Aizen and Ana shaking their heads in sync. Axel never found anything great from the ocean, so she concluded that there was nothing great about the resources that exist in the ocean or the sea.
