BACK TO THE PRESENT TI.
TI BEFORE EMPEROR LITCH ARRIVES: 8 MINUTES 30 SECONDS
Once Alex had properly dealt with Black Alex’s dilemma, he turned his attention back once more on Golden Alex, whose body now wore signs of injuries.
"..."
These injuries ca from Ray’s attacks that were ant to kill Golden Alex. Fortunately for Golden Alex, these attacks had been weakened or ablated by the Divine Beings that were currently fighting Ray. If it weren’t for them, then Golden Alex could have been a mangled corpse already.
But even with this kind of state, Golden Alex appeared to be still unhappy with his situation, which was shown further by his scathing words.
"You done talking with Black Alex? Good. Now focus back on my body!" Golden Alex thought angrily as he felt Alex’s attention going back on him. "Those three divine beings did their best to slow down the Supre Puppet for 30 seconds, and yet so of his attacks almost hit ! You... you don’t know how many tis I almost died! Tsk, I am an Emperor who should not be experiencing sothing like this!"
"Stop acting like that and man up already. You’re the representation of the Conqueror’s Aura, so you should be more magnanimous than !" Alex snorted in reply as he resud his observation on Ray. "Sigh, it seems like your courage had been left on the other half of the Conqueror’s Aura.... No wonder you’ve been acting like this..."
"...I will tolerate your insults since you’ve been doing your best to keep alive. But don’t think that I will forget about this." Golden Alex replied as he huffed in irritation. He then clicked his tongue as he also observed the battle above him.
"Oi Alex... how much longer can these Divine Beings fight against Ray? They don’t seem well-off already..." Golden Alex murmured as he and Alex saw the pale and ashen expressions of Lingo, Peina, and the angel. "And only 30 seconds have passed since they started battling! Doesn’t this look bad?"
"Their current power is only at the bottom tier of Sixth Stage. The only reason that they can fight equally against Ray was because they boosted their power by burning their lifespan." Alex replied glumly as he saw the angel’s sword get repelled by Ray’s bombs. "This thod might seem effective, but due to its cost, its ti is extrely limited. In my estimates, these Divine Beings can only last for 1 more minute before they have to stop fighting Ray..."
"1 minute? The f**k? That’s too short!" As usual, the preposterous Golden Alex let out another complaint to Alex. "Once they’re done, there will still be 7 minutes and 30 seconds of ti left before Emperor Litch arrives! That’s still not a good ti for you to use Power Synchronization!"
"I know that, so don’t try telling that to again." Alex said. "But don’t worry, I think that I already have another person ready to replace the Divine Beings once they’re done. We just have to wait and see if he succeeds on his ’situation’."
"...Are you talking about Black Alex? Because that’s the clone that you just talked to earlier." Golden Alex noted as he noticed the strange tone on Alex’s answer. "Didn’t you tell that he’s paralyzed? Soone like that can’t be useful to ! Besides, he’s just as strong as ! There’s no way that he can assist here!"
"If you said that before, then I would have believed you." Alex said as he ntally shook his head. "But now? Heh, not only does Black Alex have the chance to reach Grade 6, he also the chance to reach Transcendence!"
"What? How the hell did he-"
"Don’t ask anymore. Just focus on our situation right now." Alex abruptly said, interrupting Golden Alex’s attempt to question him. "You will know what I am talking about once Black Alex succeeds. For now, let’s just focus on keeping yourself alive, ok?"
".....Fine. That’s the only thing that I can do anyway, so why not focus on it? Hmph, I hate this ss...." After Golden Alex said this lanting words, he let out a grunt as he forced his body to move sideways.
"Scwhing!"
A gigantic shockwave of laser beams went past through Golden Alex’s forr location, shredding the air around it with its intense heat. So of these heat had managed to singe Golden Alex’s skin, which elicited a grunt of pain from him.
"Ugh! I really hate this!" Golden Alex continued to say as he saw Lingo reeling from the laser bomb that Ray just used. There was no doubt that this bomb was the source of the laser shockwaves that almost killed Golden Alex, as Lingo was unable to stop it fully from exploding. "Why do I always have to play tag with my life in line! This is just incorrect!"
"..." Alex had no more words to say to Golden Alex at this point, as the forr realized that the latter was already too invested on cursing against his current fate. There’s nothing else that Alex can do now but to assist Golden Alex, as doing anything else is just unnecessary.
"Oi Alex, where the hell is Asteria anyway? I still haven’t seen her since earlier! Is she doing sothing traitorous again?" Even if Golden Alex was currently dabbling with death, he still had the urge to gossip about Asteria, sothing which Alex was not sure if he can admonish.
"Don’t worry about that stupid fairy. I made sure that she won’t do anything to f**k us over." Alex replied as he shook his head. "Why are you worrying about her anyway? Do you think she can be of help here?"
In face of this question by Alex, which had the sound of Alex’s extrely incredulity, Golden Alex found himself unable to answer it, as he also realized how ridiculous his question sounded.
"Oi, don’t judge my question! I just thought that that fairy can be used here!" Golden Alex replied hotly as he got blasted by another shockwave. "She can’t be killed in conventional ways, so maybe we can use her to shield-"
"Stop talking now, Golden Alex. Our chance to extend our lives had co already." Alex suddenly said, cutting off Golden Alex’s hasty answer. "Hehehe, I did not expect him to catch on my advice already... Maybe he’s actually much smarter than I thought he was? Hmm... I guess this needs more observation later..."
Alex said these words while looking up at the sky, more specifically at the mothership that had been continuously shooting its weaponry at Malthus. This mothership was still relentless on its attacks on Malthus, creating a dizzying array of blasts that continued to rock the whole planet.
"Boom boom boom!"
Alex’s focus on the ship however seed to be not on the ship or its weapons. Instead, Alex appeared to be looking at what was behind the ship. As for why he was looking there, even Golden Alex could not understand anything from it.
"..."
A few tense seconds passed by with Alex only staring at the ship, with nothing noteworthy happening on it. This made Golden Alex think of questioning Alex once more, as he was just wasting precious seconds of their ti.
But before Golden Alex could remind Alex of what his ’priority’ should be, ’It’ suddenly happened.
"Hong~"
Out of nowhere, a massive, 7-branched tree suddenly materialized behind the mother ship, with 5 of its branches glowing brightly as a star.
The tree’s body was almost as large as a planet, with its branches looking like enormous continents attached to a humungous tree trunk. It was even larger that Queen Mother’s current form, sothing which drew so reaction to the crowds that saw it.
This tree’s size, along with its stealthy entrance, forced the mothership to have adverse reactions to it.
"Tremble..."
The mother ship began to shake as the tree lood all over it, with so of its weapons almost losing their control. So of these weapons had their strikes deviated by a degree, causing widespread destruction on the nearby forests. So even affected the sea itself, causing massive clouds of fog to cover the sky.
Luckily for Alex, these deviations did not allow Malthus to have so breathing room, as the ship continued its assault on him even with the sudden appearance of the tree.
It seems as if the controllers of the ship had decided to treat the tree like it was a neutral power, sothing that is not worth attacking for now.
But Alex knew that if this tree begins to do sothing weird, the ship and its fleet will start peppering it with everything that they can.
Well, Alex was not really worried about this, as he knew that nothing wrong will happen with the tree.
In fact, the appearance of this tree made Alex feel extrely pleased, as its existence made him realize that his plan earlier had succeeded!
"Do you see that tree, Golden Alex? That tree right there is my Original Abyss Spell, the Calamity of Seven Sins!" Alex said, with the elation on his words easily recognizable. "It may look different compared to before, but that’s my own power. Hehe, Black Alex seems to be putting it into good use..."
"..."
To say that Alex was extrely pleased now is just an understatent, as even the pessimistic Golden Alex was slowly getting influenced by Alex’s joyous state.
"Oi! Why the am I feeling happy now? We’re about to die goddamit! I should feel panicking-"
"Hehehe, since Black Alex had decided to show that tree, then that ans that he’s about to do sothing special! And if my hunch is right, he must be attempting to have his breakthrough!" Alex said as Golden Alex tried his best to not feel as happy as the forr. "Damn, Black Alex! You actually used less than a minute of ti to bully Cheva! You... you surpassed my expectations of you!"
