Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 507 The Golden Throne and the Complete Possession

In face of Alex’s incessant commands, Golden Alex found himself unable to disobey him.

"Hmph, don’t blame me after this. I will surely look much more handsome than you once I am done..." Golden Alex muttered as he made a clenching motion with his right hand.

"Guo~"

This move created a powerful suction force on his hand, which then forced all the golden particles to coalesce in his palm. Whether these particles were just coming out of Emperor Litch’s body or were already in the air, all of them were sucked in by the suction force.

This coalesceation process took a few seconds to finish, and once it was done, a golden ball the size of an ostrich egg lay succinctly on Golden Alex’s hand.

This ball glinted as the sun’s rays hit it, making it look like a regal treasure that fell from heavens.

"Alex, that looks delicious. Can I eat some of that later?" Alina, who was still in her fusion state, suddenly said these words from afar. "I can’t stop drooling Alex... I think only that ball will satisfy me.."

Even if she was some distance away from Alex, the appearance of the golden ball appeared to have triggered a great sense of hunger from Alina. She became so hungry, that she started drooling at this point.

This appearance of Alina made Alex pity her, although he had no interest on feeding her right now.

"I’m sorry Alina, but this ball must be eaten by Golden Alex alone. That is the only way for him to get stronger..." Alex thought as Black Alex began to appease Alina. "I promise you that I will give you a sumptuous feast later. But for now, please just endure your hunger..."

Luckily for Alex, Black Alex was able to convince Alina to not make any rash moves.

"..."

With Alina already being dealt with in the sidelines, there are no one else that can stop Golden Alex next moves.

Everything from now on will depend on Golden Alex himself, although it was already obvious what he will do.

"How do you say that again? Oh, right, thanks for the food..."

With a face torn between excitement and resignation, Golden Alex opened his mouth wide, before shoving all the entirety of the golden ball straight on his throat.

"Gulp!"

A large bulge formed on Golden Alex’s throat as he swallowed the ball whole, with not even a single portion of it left outside. His body began to tremble at this point, with golden beams of light shooting out of his opened mouth.

"Haaa!!!"

These golden beams appeared to have caused Golden Alex severe bouts of pain, which was made more obvious by this reddened skin and teary face.

He appeared to be in so much pain that even Alex could not help but feel pity for him.

"So instead of accepting Golden Alex, all the Conqueror’s Aura that we gathered here were actually rejecting him, hence this reaction..." Alex thought solemnly as the golden beams continued their assault on Golden Alex. "This batch of Conqueror’s Aura wanted to do nothing with Golden Alex, that’s why they are trying to make him feel pain right now... This batch must have thought that making Golden Alex feel pain will be effective on stopping him..."

At this point, Alex only let out a wry smile, with his pitying gaze seemingly focused on the golden ball. "Well, they are not wrong. But in face of temptation for power, even pain is nothing for Golden Alex!"

This statement Alex was quickly proven to be true, as just a second later, the pained Golden Alex started to dish out his retaliation.

"Why are you resisting me, you useless ball! I am your new master now!" Golden Alex declared, with his current appearance making him look like a manic person. He seemed to be also doing his best to ignore the pain, even if the pain was already enough to debilitate him. "Forget about Emperor Litch already! I killed him twice, so that means that I am better than him!"

"Swi swi swi!"

In response to Golden Alex’s rude words, the golden ball released more of its lights. This in turn made Golden Alex feel more pain, who at this point was about to curl down on his stomach.

"Swi swi swi!"

But in spite of this increases, Golden Alex still did not cower against the golden ball. Instead, he seemed to be even spurred by it, as he continued to insult and defraud his ’opponent’.

"Hah! Is this all that you’ve got? Hahaha, this is nothing compared to my will!"

"..."

"What are you now, golden ball? Are you rebelling against me? Hmph, try that all you want, but you will still fail!"

"..."

"Hah, just accept your fate already! You’re meant to be mine, and you have nowhere else to go! Now, come to me and assimilate with my body! Only then that you will be part of the real Emperor!"

"...."

"...."

"..."

"..."

With the surprising tenacity that exploded out of Golden Alex, the obnoxious golden ball found itself unable to resist its fate. Its powerful golden beams were suppressed by Golden Alex’s taunts, turning them into nothing but little flickers of weak light.

This reduced the amount of pain felt by Golden Alex, an opening that he obviously did not let go.

"Suck...."

As much as the golden ball tried to stop its fate from being swallowed, its sudden lost of momentum gave Golden Alex the slight push that he needed to swallow the ball straight to his stomach.

"Glup!"

The golden ball, with no support present on its body, can only let out few more pathetically small beams of light as it fell inside Golden Alex’s stomach. Once it was there, all of its activities stopped like a dead clock.

"Hahaha! How about that, golden ball! I have eaten you already! Now, who’s the brat huh?" Like a child who just won a competition against another kid, Golden Alex continued to scold the golden ball. "Hehehe, you little ball, once I see you later, I will-"

"Golden Alex, your Golden Throne is already forming. I think you should be focusing on it now..." Alex deftly said, interrupting Golden Alex’s profanity train. "If you don’t create it, your claim as a Sixth Stage Conqueror will not be finished..."

"Oh, right, there’s that throne too. Why did I forget about that?" Golden Alex replied, as his attention was now diverted away from the golden ball. "How do I summon the Golden Throne again? Should I just wait for it to appear?"

"Golden Alex, the Golden Throne is the crystallization of your power as a Sixth Stage Conqueror. It is something similar to the Esper’s Virtual Body and the Abyss Magic’s Abyssal Pillar. If you want your Golden Throne to appear, then you must want it to appear." Alex said as he let out a disappointed sigh. "Come on Golden Alex. You’re already at the Sixth Stage, so you should know about this..."

"I’m just joking with you, original. Geez, there’s no need for you to be so serious.... I can summon my Golden Throne already, ok?" Golden Alex looked sullen as he gave this reply, an expression that made Alex shake his head. "Look, I am summoning it now!"

"Hey you-"

Before Alex could stop Golden Alex from what he was about to do, Golden Alex had already snapped his fingers.

"Boom!"

This snap caused a chain reaction around Golden Alex, with his surroundings suddenly shaking as a mysterious fluctuation of power appeared behind him. The nearby Delia narrowed her eyes from this strange fluctuation, while Alina and Queen Mother nodded appreciatively from it.

As for the others who felt this fluctuation, they began to have the sudden urge to kneel, a sensation which was already familiar to them before! It was as if they were under the presence of Emperor Litch once more, something that should not be possible considering his death.

"..."

Before anyone could make sense of this change, a large object suddenly appeared behind Golden Alex, making everyone who saw it go silent.

"..."

A massive golden throne chair could now be seen behind Golden Alex, whose size and bearing was no weaker compared to the Abyssal Pillar or Alex’s Virtual Body from earlier.

This throne chair had a height of around 120 feet, with its edges and grooves lined with pure gold. A soft, velvet-colored cushion lay flat on the throne’s sitting portion, with a glass scepter propped on the throne’s left armrest.

A golden crown, studded to the brim with countless diamonds, could be seen hanging on the right armrest of the throne.

Every now and often, the crown and the glass scepter would release flashes of golden lighting, something which created a beautiful lightshow around the golden throne.

These lightnings however appeared to have lethal power injected in them, as a nearby mountain was pulverized into pieces when a portion of the lightning grazed it.

"..."

In face of this golden throne, almost everyone found themselves at loss for words.

Only Golden Alex and Alex could act normally at this point, although even these two were greatly emotional upon seeing the throne.

"Hahaha! This is my Golden Throne! The symbol of my power as a Sixth Stage Conqueror! Hahahaha! Who knew that I can also build this throne with my own hands! Hahaha! Sucks to be you, Emperor LItch! You just gave your enemy your powers, and you even allowed him to build a Golden Throne! Hahaha! I will never forget this ’favor’!"

Unsurprisingly, Golden Alex was jubilant at the sight of this Golden Throne. Just his rabid jumping motions and goofy face was enough to show his joy.

"Hehehe, since I am technically an Emperor now... then there’s no problem for me if I sit on my Golden Throne, right?" Without waiting for Alex’s inputs, the stil-joyful Golden Alex began to fly towards the Golden Throne, with his eyes glowing with an unmistakable lust. "Hehehe, I have been waiting for this day to happen for a very long time..."

"Sigh, so even an Emperor will always be infatuated with his Golden Throne. I must remember this once I fuse back with Golden Alex..." Alex, who was trying his best to tolerate Golden Alex’s antics, said as he closed his eyes. "If I let myself be drowned by passion, this Golden Throne could spell my end..."

Even if Alex had already gained a lot of benefits at this point, he appeared to be more worried about himself. A sentiment which he did not ignore in his mind.

"At this point, I already have my Esper Power, Abyss Magic, and Conqueror’s Aura reach Sixth Stage. This kind of level makes it already hard for me to manage them altogether. If I slip up even just a little, these powers of mine might devour me from the inside..." Alex thought solemnly as he watched Golden Alex’s frantic sitting motions on the throne.

"Hmm, the only way that I can reduce the stress on me is if I also make my Immortal Cultivation and Superhero Body reach Sixth Stage. But how can I do that-"

Before Alex could continue formulating plans for his power system, one of his allies suddenly called his attention.

If it was earlier, he could have ignored it. But the message of his ally’s words made him change his mind.

"Traveler Alex, I don’t care if you are happy with your new power-up. I am just telling you now that your World Soul is about to complete her possession of the Four Moons World. If I were you, I should be preparing for the changes already." Delia said out of nowhere, with her eyes staring vigilantly at Golden Alex.

"Traveler Alex, you told me that once your World Soul possesses this world, wew ill both look for the Legacy Weapon, right? I hope that you will fulfill that promise..." Delia added, with the word ’Legacy Weapon’ stressed greatly. "Even if you have a stronger arsenal right now, you still bound yourself to an alliance with me. Surely you won’t be ignoring that."

"Of course I won’t be betraying you. I am not like Ray, who’s a backstabbing b**ch." The one who gave this reply was Golden Alex, who was being used by Alex to transmit his own words. "I swear that with my life..."

"Hmph, you better do. Because if you don’t, then you will-"

"Daddy, I am about to finish possessing this world already! Once I finish this, the Esper World will fully materialize!" Delia’s words were cut off as Sierra, the World Soul that was supposed to possess the Four Moons World, began talking loudly.

Her voice seemed to come from the Four Moons World itself, something which made her voice sound deep and sonorous. But even with that kind of tone, Alex and the others could still feel the devilish charm contained in her words.

And of course, her profanity was still present.

"Where do you want me to f**king put the Esper World, daddy? I cannot just leave it hanging nearby! If I do that, these two worlds might f**king crash with each other!" Delia continued to say, with the land on the Four Moons World shaking as she talked. "Hey daddy, why are you quiet? I want a f**king answer now!"

"..."
