DEVIANT

253 Khal’k

“This!” Alex muttered as he felt immense power surging through his body with the upgrade ability, his strength has been increased by a level. The amount of energy he could control now with his energy revolver power had improved to the Marquise rank temporarily but even then it was quite intimidating!

Swoosh!

Damnation lit up with power as its body shivered and shot towards the massive flower god. Alex could be seen within the cockpit, shrouded in a white aura as he piloted his seed with his mind!

Solar beam!

The flower god suddenly opened its eyes which released a bright beam of light racing towards Damnation. Suddenly a black whirlpool began twirling in the skies as it slowly consumed the entire beam of light. From one of the numerous screens in the cockpit, Alex could see the human in a black jacket and pitch black eyes, gazing at the massive flower god fearlessly as his clothes and hair fluttered to the winds.

Riviz!

“Nice one!” Alex commented as he kept charging at the enemy and the other members of the culture quickly made their move!

Swoosh!

The numerous golden energy tendrils from Damnation shot forward, impaling the enemy from various sides and angles. In a short moment, Alex successfully attached himself to the flower god, pinning it to a certain spot!

.....

Kill!

A furious bellow shook the skies as the sky above the two combatants split open and a mighty purple broadsword began descending from the skies! Meanwhile, Emperor could be seen standing beside Sage, with the same blazing purple eyes. With a snap of his fingers, countless aura blades were formed surrounding the flower god, all attacked at the same time!

XIU!

The flower god let out an audible cry as its body lit up and began gathering the energy of the sun. With the ability to sense the immense energy, Alex was quickly alarmed, causing him to cast his energy revolver ability and matter absorption ability, pushing the two to their limits.

Both allowed him to have a certain level of control over all forms of energy. He kept absorbing the energy, increasing the time needed to accumulate enough power for its next attack!

The massive eye dilated in shock as the energy swords rained down on him, turning the once huge and tyrannical flower god was no more than a massive porcupine with a giant purple sword, stabbing into his skull!

Damn!

Damnation hovered above the battlefield as he watched the countless sea of vines below stop moving. His gaze fell on the Emerald crystal split in two from the attacks. Using the Damnation, Alex harvested the flower king’s core!

The vines assaulting the city, the mutated beasts and every other thing in the world were gone, leaving Alex disturbed.

Didn’t the battle end too easily?

He was preparing for a life and death battle, yet it all ended so easily, how could he not feel uncomfortable about it?

....................

“The battle is over, it seems Alex Briggs’ side has won... This planet is not one we can enter freely anymore. Have this reported to the leaders and wait for their response. His victory means his group still stands which will forever be a threat to the alliance. I think it’s best we deal with this problem before it gets out of hand” Kyle said coldly as he kept gazing at the strange planet from their ship.

He hated the fact that he and the other representatives were humiliated by Alex and the rest, so he didn’t leave. No, he stayed back!

Who would have expected that the battle would end this way?

When they left the planet’s atmosphere, Kyle noticed the disturbance below. The attack of the flower king was on such a large scale one could see it from outside the planet. In fact, another thing he saw back then was the bright light battling swarms of vines and for a moment he hoped Alex would be drowned and overwhelmed by the enemy attacks.

Having an enemy like this life will be the greatest mistake they could make. That was why Kyle was determined and adamant about remaining here. He needed to make sure he wipes out these people before leaving, if not they will definitely disrupt the balance.

....................

Alex had returned to the city with the other members of the culture. With the battle over everyone could rest easy but that didn’t mean they weren’t shocked by the scale of the battle that happened. They wondered if Alex was like a crazy time bomb only good at drawing the attention of extremely powerful foes.

Anyway, they were informed of the alliance cruiser still hovering around the planet, waiting for something. Many expected the usual action from Alex which would be to pilot his Damnation and go do battle with them but strangely, Alex was extremely chilled about it.

He only nodded as he received the news, making it seem as if he has been expecting this already.

Alex has been a lot of things over the years but a fool is not one of them. These people know he is a potential threat so why would they be willing to just let him go and ignore his existence? If they do that, only then will he be shocked.

Right now he simply urged them to quicken the pace in the production of war machines. With the death of the flower god, Alex was assured of the mutant beasts serving as allies. This already gave them a terrifying force of hundreds of thousands if not millions.

They may be lacking forces that can fight out in space but land troops have never been a problem.

During this time, Alex had the elders prepare generals who will lead the army in battle. While the mutant beasts are to be led by the Duke-level mutant beast heads, the Estonian army needs leaders and people to organize them in battle. While Alex was good at plotting and planning, the secrets of warfare are not something he has gotten involved with before.

As someone who is used to fighting alone, he was severely lacking in that aspect, back then all he had to do was have Silver lay out the plan and then he would go along with it.

If Silver were here, he would have had a very capable general by his side.

“Nothing lasts forever I guess.... I shouldn’t be surprised one bit by everything that has happened so far” Alex muttered coldly as preparations were taking place.

He wasn’t sure how long it would take for the alliance to send reinforcement but he knew one thing. When the battle starts he will be the first person they will meet.

With this the tension was rising, as songs of war could be heard on the lips of everyone. The Estos race is about to make a comeback and become a major power in the universe under the leadership of this human.

................

Somewhere deep in space, a massive ship flew at a low speed while entering the asteroid-filled space.

In the command room, a Danite stood, dressed in white battle armor with what could be considered a strange looking blue monkey with several hands, like a spider. The spider monkey kept making funny sounds when jumping on the Danite’s head but the Danite didn’t seem to mind. His eyes squinted as he watched the lonely space filled with nothing but rocks which made him frown.

Not too long ago a powerful energy signature was spotted in this unverified part of the universe. This team of Danites was led by the second prince, Khal’k. He was sent to investigate, yet upon reaching here, he still couldn’t see a thing. The bright red beacon could still be seen blinking on a device held in his hands that seemed to be some sort of tracker.

“I will be going in to have a look... have the war drones take defensive positions! No one is allowed to enter or leave this place until our business here is over!” Khal’k said coldly.

If Alex was present he would be surprised to see the second Danite prince venture out in space in what looked like a seed. But unlike the normal seeds of the Estonian race, it was one controlled manually, not with the mind.

Seated in the cockpit was the second prince with his blue spider monkey who seemed to be assisting him in piloting the seed. Slowly, yet steadily the seed pushed through the asteroid filled space in search of the energy signature and for an unknown amount of time this continued but they remained diligent!

“Your Highness! The forces of the alliance must have picked up the energy signature as well, we may end up having a confrontation after all!” A voice echoed within the cockpit as an elderly-looking Danite in military uniform informed with an anxious look on his face.

The alliance was not just any force the alliance has come across before, especially with the presence of the shaman race!
