Chapter 1728: Alsed's Shock and Wariness!

Rick's body stiffened, then he turned his head to look behind him.

Standing behind him was a young man with long silver-white hair.

Behind the young man stretched a pair of long wings, with radiant light swirling around his body.

Sacred and lofty.

"This feeling... is exactly the same as those three great angels!"

Rick's eyes flickered, and a guess vaguely formed in his heart.

But on the surface, not a ripple of emotion showed.

Very calmly, he said, "If I don't tell you... then will you kill me?"

"Who knows?"

The silver-haired young man gave a rueful laugh, his words gentle, but the meaning they conveyed was utterly cold.

"I might just capture you! Then use you to coerce Qi Mu Nanxiong, and even Aizen, to see whether they'd be willing to throw in the towel for your sake."

So it really is Alsed. Rick said nothing, confirming the other's identity through what the silver-haired young man had said.

Apart from... that transmigrator, no one could possibly know the names of Qi Mu Nanxiong and Aizen.

Suddenly thinking of something, the silver-haired young man's brow furrowed, then he shook his head. "Come to think of it... Lord Altej is currently fighting Qi Mu Nanxiong!"

"If I were to interfere with Lord Altej, even if I won in the end, Lord Altej would hang me up and beat me, wouldn't he?"

Rubbing his brow, the silver-haired young man looked a bit headache-stricken.

"How about... see if I can use you to threaten Aizen? That doesn't seem right either!"

The silver-haired young man prattled on, revealing his chatterbox nature. "If Aizen really is the Aizen I know... he wouldn't accept threats at all! Even if he outwardly accepts the threat and shows anger! He might secretly dig a pit for me, just waiting for me to jump in."

"... Is that so?"

Rick's brow twitched several times, his expression turning strange.

Are these words of yours really appropriate to say to him? Or does... the other party feel that saying these things to him isn't much of a problem! Rick realized something, and his heart suddenly grew heavy.

"That's why I hate this kind of scheming-type enemy the most!"

Alsed sighed. "Especially this kind with brains, with tricks, and whose own strength is heaven-defying... just thinking about it, about being hostile to them, makes me feel suffocated and desperate."

Alsed cast his gaze toward the distance, outwardly bantering with Rick as they conversed.

But deep within his pupils lurked gloom, shock, and a chilling killing intent.

The appearance of Aizen and Qi Mu Nanxiong.

On one hand, it shocked him, horrified him to the extreme.

On the other hand, it also raised a thick sense of crisis in his heart.

Since Aizen and Qi Mu Nanxiong could appear, then might not top-tier powerhouses from other worlds appear as well? For example, the Magic Gods from A Certain Magical Index! Or the God of Destruction Beerus, Super Saiyan Sun Wukong... these are all terrifying existences he cannot match.

Just thinking that these beings might become his opponents, Alsed felt nearly suffocated.

"Since you know, then what are you going to do next...?"

Rick asked, not letting any emotion show.

"... I hadn't decided before, but your question just now reminded me,"

Alsed smiled gently. "How about this, I'll kill you and see how things actually turn out."

Rick's expression didn't change, as if the two of them weren't discussing his life and death, and he countered, "Didn't you deduce that killing me would be of no help whatsoever to the current situation?"

Rick wasn't surprised by Alsed's decision; after all, Alsed had said so much to him earlier.

That in itself carried a certain meaning.

After all, in this world, the only person who doesn't need to worry about knowing too many secrets... is a dead one.

"What if it helps?"

Alsed spread his palm open; holy radiance spread from his palm, then with a whoosh it shot toward Rick's body. He said softly, "Anyway... we're already enemies! Things can't get any worse than they already are."

"I don't see it that way,"

A calm voice suddenly rang out. "After all, harming a member of my guild might just anger me... Transmigrator!"
