The Innkeeper

Chapter 1120 No need to suppose

Mary scoffed.

”Of course it will only take one key. What do you take the Midnight Inn for? But, that will only work if the planet is sentient and uses the key. You cannot have a planet thatʼs not sentient as a guest.”

”Okay, new question. What if the planet is in the process of being made a clone, but itʼs not quite there yet. Can I still bring it?”

Even as Lex asked that question, he removed the seal on his chest once more and began moving his hands in an unusual pattern, as if he was preparing something. The situation was bad, but hopefully it wasnʼt to the point where he would need to open his third seal.

It was not just that opening the seal would cause him to face a tribulation to enter the next level, but that the tribulation would most likely come immediately. So either he would have to fight while undergoing the tribulation, or wait for it to end first. Either way, it was less than ideal.

”That complicates the situation a little bit. Why donʼt you tell me the exact situation and Iʼll look for a solution,” Mary said, looking troubled.

Lex explained the situation to her while continuing his odd movements. These strange, rhythmic movements of his limbs was something Lex came up with on his own while experimenting with his affinity. It was a tremendous help in doing something he wasnʼt technically supposed to be able to do.

”You look like someone doing a russian dance badly,” Moon said, giggling. Although the situation was serious, though technically she couldnʼt sense the spatial anomalies so she didnʼt know the extent of it, she wasnʼt too worried.

Part of it was because she had basically spent her whole life a prisoner. Although she lived vicariously through her clone on earth, in reality she spent most of her life here, separated from everyone she cared for. As a result, she did not really care if she became someone elseʼs prisoner. Effectively, nothing would change.

But mostly because she realized that if her brother had a way to get her out of here, if her situation was normal, then he had a way to get himself out as well. Since there was no real danger... well she took this opportunity to enjoy herself.

Lexʼs lip twitched. He knew exactly which dance she was talking about, because he had shown her a youtube video of someone doing a russian dance badly. It was not at all distracting to be made fun of while trying to save a planet from the clutches of evil immortals. He gave his younger sister a look which meant she had not changed at all. That made Moon giggle even more.

Outside Yildrim Utopia thirteen different portals were opening up, each at a different location around the planet. But, before they could fully form, a space bubble formed around the entire planet!

Lex grunted as he felt a majority of his spiritual energy suddenly drain, but the bubble held and did not disappear. The bubble was just a simple way of describing a spatial phenomenon where the space between two points was essentially cut out. Lex read about it and found it so interesting that he learnt how to do it. The problem was that he had never created such a big bubble before.

Not only was this a massive drain on his spiritual energy, the bubble would not last long either. That was because Lex had done something far beyond simple teleportation, or affecting space in a region where space itself was weak.

This was a much more advanced form of simply putting a barrier around the entire planet, which in itself should have been too much for Lex considering that he was only in the Nascent realm. But using his affinity for laws, and his hand gestures which basically involved physically touching the laws around the region and tampering with them, he succeeded in doing something absolutely absurd.

When the thirteen portals opened and various figures stepped through, they discovered that the planet was actually outside their reach! Twelve of them were Earth immortals, though they were drastically stronger than the one Lex had fought. The thirteenth, while still being just an earth immortal, felt much stronger. Even all the way down on the planet, Lex could feel that the thirteenth one probably wasnʼt human. freeweɓnovel.cøm

”Unfortunately, Lex, since the cloning process isnʼt complete, the planet is just another object. Although guests can usually bring external objects with them, they cannot bring a planet with them, even if they own it.”

”Damn it, fine. Iʼll figure out my own way,” Lex cursed. He began to check if he could host a ʼbring your planet to the Innʼ event or something for planet owners, but the system seemed to be much more strict about bringing an entire planet, or basically any object that hosted a lot of life. Finding a loophole wasnʼt going to be so simple.

”How deeply are you connected to the planet?” Lex asked. ”Are you connected to just a part of it, like the core or a continent, or the whole thing? Do you know if thereʼs any way to reverse the process?”

Moon laughed.

”I am not connected to the planet Lex. Thatʼs just a simple way of explaining the situation. A majority of my soul has been dissolved into the planet. If that happened to a normal person, they would just die. But, since Iʼm special, my soul will slowly assimilate the planet. It cannot be reversed, though if you made my soul about as strong as an immortals, I suppose that would speed up the process. But I suppose…”

”No need to suppose,” Lex interrupted her once more. ”Strengthening your soul to the level of an immortalʼs sounds good enough. I have a friend who is good with souls. By the way, would you happen to know the grade of the highest quality spirit stone mine on this planet?”
