Chapter 483 I Came, I Saw, I Coveted
TIME LEFT BEFORE EMPEROR LITCH ARRIVES: 7 MINUTES 30 SECONDS
TIME LEFT BEFORE SIERRA COMPLETES THE POSSESSION: 15 MINUTES 30 SECONDS
"Original... what the hell was that?" Golden Alex, who already had his body prepared from the posilbe onslaught from Ray, hastily said as he witnessed the attack that Black Alex just made. "Did you just... manage to wrangle another trump card for us?"
"If you heard what the Will of the Abyss said, then you should know that right now, Black Alex has the right to unleash three attacks that have the power of a Half-Step Transcendent Being." Original Alex replied. "He already used the first one to kill General Glaivewood and Sir Xeto, which leaves him with only two..."
"Yo! I f**king know about that! You don’t have to explain that to me!" Golden Alex replied angrily. His eyes then widened as he saw Lingo, Peina, and the angel get blasted away by Ray. This sight made him panic again, as he remembered the situation that they were still in. "Oi original, since Black Alex still have 2 attacks with him, then you should make him send one attack here too! Just one attack will be enough to end Ray!"
After Golden Alex said these words, Supreme Puppet Ray glanced at them for a second, before he focused his narrowed eyes towards Black Alex.
Ray seemed to have lost the interest to attack Golden Alex for now, as if he was placing more importance toward Black Alex.
Of course this is the normal reaction for someone like Supreme Puppet Ray, as the attack that Black Alex just unleashed was something that could change the course of the whole battle!
"Impressive, Alex. I never thought you would have a card like this. Too bad it just have 2 more remaining attacks. Are you sure that’s enough to bail you out here?" Ray said as he gave Golden Alex a mocking smirk. "I admit that if one of those attack hits me, I will probably be out of commission. But do you think I will just allow myself to be hit? Heh, you and that ally of yours must be idiot to think of that!"
"Original!!! What the f**k are you dilly-dallying for? Make Black Alex attack Ray already!" As Ray pointed his fingers towards Golden Alex’s body, Golden Alex began to shake as he implored for Alex’s help. "Oi Original! Ray is about to attack us already! Can’t you just kill him?"
"No. I won’t waste Black Alex’s power here. He’s meant to use those attacks on other things." Original Alex suddenly replied as he and Golden Alex felt the sudden influx of power on Ray’s finger. There was no doubt that Ray is about to attack them now, and there’s nothing else left that can stop him.
Of course there was still Black Alex, but with Original Alex’s refusal to use him here, there’s really nothing that can prevent Ray’s attack from coming.
"What the f**k? What the hell is more important than my life, huh? Tell me!"
"You still have one more portion of Conqueror’s Aura left. Use that to escape this attack." Instead of answering Golden Alex’s question, what Original Alex gave as a reply was this instruction. "Do that, and you will understand what I am talking about."
"Argh!!! I swear I will make you pay for this!"
"Boom!"
Explosions then covered the whole area that Golden Alex was in, dousing the space around it with a damage-inducing wave that disintegrated everything inside it. Its strength was inferior to the blade strike that Black Alex had unleashed earlier, but in terms of quality, Ray’s latest attack was indeed strong enough to kill Golden Alex.
Fortunately for Golden Alex, he was able to use the last portion of his Conqueror’s Aura, which brought him hundreds of kilometers away from Ray. This made him effectively dodge Ray’s latest attack, although he did not actually leave unscathed from it.
"F**k..."
Bruises could be seen all over Golden Alex at this point, with the majority of the bruises present on his arms and legs. These bruises had the size comparable to that of potatoes, with each one having the color of blood and purple.
Hisses of pain could be heard coming from Golden Alex’s mouth as some of the bruises widened, showcasing the amount of damage that he just got. Even when these bruises appeared to be not life-threatening at all, it looked like they hurt a lot, something that was apparent on Golden Alex’s face.
"Original, that’s the last Conqueror’s Aura that I can use. After that, there’s no more way for us to dodge Ray’s attack." Golden Alex hissed as he slowly brought his hands down. This movement elicited a growl of pain from him, making him look like a pitiful, beat-up person.
Whether Alex showed pity for Golden Alex for his current state was still unknown, as his voice just sounded the same when he gave his reply.
"Don’t worry about this. What you already did was enough." Alex replied as he let out a sigh. "You’ve done everything that you can. Now leave it to me and Black Alex..."
"What do you mean by that? Ray is coming towards us right now! If you don’t make any moves now, Ray will-"
[I CAME, I SAW, I COVETED]
Black Alex’s voice, which sounded just as raspy and harsh before, emanated throughout the whole battlefield as the second crystal on his hand shattered. This shattering was accompanied by the chant that he just said, which brought the whole world into a standstill once more.
"Shuo...."
A massive palm made up of Death Aura appeared right above Black Alex, which then began its descent towards the ground.
Unlike the malicious face that appeared when the first crystal was shattered, this massive palm did not look like an illusion at all.
Even when this palm was just made up of ghastly Death Aura, the way that it appeared made it look real, so much so that Golden Alex could feel the winds getting stirred by just the descent of this hand alone!
Those who witnessed the descent of this palm all stopped in their tracks, as they felt the danger accompanied by its arrival. Even Ray, who was at this point was already about to attack Golden Alex, stopped his attack as he put his attention on the descending palm.
Even if it was obvious that the palm was not aimed to hit him, Ray did not appear to be composed like before.
"So this is how an attack of a Half-Step Transcendent Being looks like.... This attack is only comprised purely of the Law itself, which makes its might greater than anything that is beneath the Laws. Only attacks made up this way can be considered as a Half-Step Transcendent Attack..." Ray muttered in a tone that was just loud enough for Golden Alex to hear.
"Hey! Where are you aiming that attack, Original? Are you really serious about this?" Golden Alex said as he observed the direction of the falling palm. After a few micro-seconds of silence, Golden Alex began to raise his voice again as he saw where the attack was heading at.
"Oi!!!! Why is your attack going there? It’s not even aimed at any of our enemies!" Golden Alex shouted in rage as he saw that the place that the palm was about to hit was an area that had none of their enemies! "You could have just sent the attack towards Alina’s enemies, or even Malthus! But no, you actually sent it towards that empty area? What the f**k are you thinking?"
"Heh. Just watch and learn. You will see why." This was Alex’s only reply to Golden Alex’s complaint, which made the latter almost boil up in rage.
"Hah! Watch and learn? Do you think we still have the time for tha-"
"No!!!!!" Ray’s sudden anguished shout interrupted Golden Alex’s complaint, which made Golden Alex look at the former with confusion. Ray then began flying straight towards the massive palm itself, with his face holding an expression of extreme panic.
"Noo!!!"
"Noo!!!"
Ray was not the only one who had this reaction.
The other two Supreme Puppets that have been fighting Alina earlier were also rendered panicked by the movement of the palm. Just like Ray, these two also stopped their fights, with them ignoring all the attacks thrown in their way as they began flying quickly towards the falling palm.
Just like Ray, these two Supreme Puppets looked like their world was ending, something that made Golden Alex feel extremely confused.
"Oi... why did they just react like that? Is there something about that empty area that made them like that?" With his body temporarily safe from danger, Golden Alex was able to relax his body momentarily as he continued talking to Alex. "Did you just see an important treasure there?
"I don’t need to explain it to you. For now, why don’t you move your body? Bring it towards where Alina is right now. The real battle is just about to start, so we should be near her already..." Original Alex said calmly, as if he was not surprised with Ray’s actions.
"Wait, the real battle? What are you saying? Don’t we still have Seven Minutes and-"
"Forget about the f**king time, Godlen Alex! With the move that Black Alex just made now, the Supreme Puppets will be left with no choice but to summon Him right now!" Original Alex said angrily, cutting off Golden Alex once more. This time however, the way that Original Alex gave his answer was sterner and stricter compared to before, which made the previously reticent Golden Alex close his mouth. "The time will not be useful anymore. He will arrive any second now, and you will be his first target!"
"Wait... when you are talking about Him, are you talking about Em-"
"Yes, I am talking about Emperor Litch." Original Alex said as Golden Alex began to force his body to fly. "Strap in your body and prepare for a good fight. Those Supreme Puppets have no choice but to summon Emperor Litch right now, and I assure you, you will be the first one that he will attack."
"What? How could that-"
"The Supreme Puppet that has the power of Summoning actually has the ability to forcefully summon Emperor Litch right now." Original Alex continued to say as the attacks of the Supreme Puppets did nothing to destroy the palm. "The only reason that she did not do it was because this forceful summon requires a lot of sacrifices, which makes it a waste of resources. But now that I made an attack towards Emperor Litch’s important treasure, she and her allies have no choice but to summon Emperor LItch. After all, the only one who can stop this palm is Emperor Litch himself..."
Golden Alex’s eyes widened at this point, as his mind allowed him to realize what Alex was actually planning all this time!
The Original Alex actually wanted to force Emperor Litch to arrive early, and he even did not hesitate to use a precious attack just to force him to come!
"S-so, all the things that you did earlier, it was just to force Emperor Litch to come early?" This was all that Golden Alex could say as he heard Alex’s snickers inside his mind. "Y-you you want him to come here that badly?"
