DEVIANT

Chapter 233

233 A new Alex!

Bang!

The two kept slugging it out as they threw blows and fists clashed violently. Alex remained standing and carried a crazed smile on his face as he punched violently leaving people confused.

How the hell can Alex stand so close to the Deity race lady whose blue armor was pouring out intense heat?

He didn’t look like he was getting hurt one bit, instead, he carried a strange amused look on his face.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The loud heart beating sound could be heard as he exchanged blows with the lady, standing his ground. Unfortunately, the statue technique does not improve one’s strength, it only grants immense defense so his strength was far above that of the lady yet he could not hurt her

His skin already had a shade of red as the battle continued. The calm and clear look in Alex’s eyes made everyone uncomfortable. They gazed at him with a questioning gaze and wondered if they were missing something important.

.....

How can someone fight against three Earls and still be unmoved?

He must be on drugs that help calm his nerve!

“You think you can hide your fears behind a smile and we won’t notice? You are getting cocky!” The lady said as she took Alex’s punch but didn’t get fazed before throwing a punch of her own!

Boom!

An explosion occurred as a figure shot out of the risen dust. With the blue armor completely covering her body, it was almost impossible to show emotions. Right now the lady looked like an ancient deity retreating from a human!

The dust settled, revealing Alex who still stood at his original position as an immovable mountain. Not even the enemy with her advanced level of the statue technique could move him.

With a grin on his face, Alex radiated no hostility. Instead, he looked greatly amused by everything that has been happening so far.

“The statue technique was the wrong name. I think it should be called sun deity technique instead” Alex said with hints of shock and realization in his eyes.

Who would have thought that all he needed to do was to exchange blows with the lady for a short while before getting a good understanding of the deity’s secret martial technique?

“Descendants of the sun” Alex muttered before looking at the lady with questioning eyes.

“Your realm in this technique is just a level above mine but the power is quite stunning. Although your body is not capable of showing its true capabilities, I have a rough idea of how strong it should be” Alex said while shaking his head thoughtfully.

Hearing these words, the calm facial expression of the lady became twisted and sour. How dare these people speak about them in such a manner? Is he trying to say the Sun deity race doesn’t have suitable bodies to learn a power they are born with?

Who wouldn’t find it insulting?

“You don’t understand what I’m trying to say. Don’t get it the wrong way. You are strong but I am stronger...” Alex seemed to have understood her thoughts through her facial expression alone.

“Your body is one thing but mine is a mixed gene of five races. I assimilate techniques faster and I’m able to bring out far more power from this power compared to you. Let me demonstrate!” Alex said with a calm smile as his body slowly turned golden.

Bam!

A fierce heat wave erupted from his body surging like the sun itself! Alex was so bright people couldn’t watch anymore! They all ran for their lives and entered buildings in hopes of not getting caught up in the fierce heat waves!

But their worries were unnecessary!

Apart from where Alex stood nothing else was getting affected by the heat and this showcased how much control he had over his power!

“Such control...” the lady muttered in shock as she gazed at the fierce bright light. She could feel the surging heat just right in front of her but it didn’t reach her. This was another sign of how terrifying Alex’s abilities are!

Every other person was left speechless as they watched from the protection from the safety of their homes. Everyone expected Alex to improve in terms of realm after evolution but when he released his power it was clear he was still Viscount level, the same as the other members of the culture yet he seemed far stronger.

People roughly guessed his improvement wasn’t limited to control alone.

Swoosh!

In an instant, all the fierce flames surging around him vanished abruptly. Alex stood with a smile on his face, one filled with confidence.

“So what do you think?” Alex asked casually.

Gazing at him, the lady seemed speechless. Has there ever been any member of her race who has been able to reveal this much power?

At this point in life, she finally realized trying to understand Alex using common sense is the dumbest thing a person can do. Right now she didn’t have the will to fight anymore since she felt like she wouldn’t win.

She was still confident in her defense but she wasn’t sure how strong Alex’s offensive capabilities are. Right now anything they know about Alex can only be an educated guess but it can never be accurate. For some reason, she even believed Alex wasn’t too sure if Alex knew much about his strength to start with.

“Do you even know your limit?” The little boy with the wolf asked with a frown. He asked the question on everyone’s mind to which Alex responded by shrugging his shoulders.

“I can’t say for sure. Right now, unless you have someone stronger than a Duke on that ship up there, you have no chance of winning against me” Alex responded casually but his eyes carried doubts.

It wasn’t doubts about being able to deal with a Duke, it was doubts that the rank beyond the Duke level can win against him.

It is unheard of for a mere Viscount to make such bold declarations but hearing it from Alex they didn’t consider it too far-fetched. They instinctively believed his words but they also didn’t believe them at the same time.

“Why did you release the armor? Do you truly intend to fight us with your bare fists?” The red-haired man from the sky demon palace asked with a frown. To this, Alex responded with a slight nod.

“If you give me a reason to use my powers I will. Until then all you will see are my fists” Alex said with a bright smile.

“You really mean to kill us here?” The lady couldn’t help but ask.

Alex clearly had no hostility directed towards them, it felt like he was simply doing this because he had to do it.

“Unfortunately I can’t let you guys go. I need to make a statement. For the alliance to take it seriously, they need to know I am willing to kill... They need to lose something for them to act accordingly. That’s why you three must be the sacrifice. I apologize for that” Alex said calmly.

Hearing his words, everyone was disturbed. The old Alex was as cold as a corpse, showing no emotions and acting swiftly but this Alex wore a smile on his face while telling three people he planned on killing them.

This left them scared shitless!

People couldn’t help but wonder which Alex is worse. The one that doesn’t smile or the one who smiles as he talks about death!

“Sighs. Unfortunately, I don’t plan on dying here” The lady said calmly.

“Neither do I” the pale man added.

“Same here” the kid laughed.

With that said the three suddenly took battle stances, as if they were preparing for the fight of their lives. While they stood, Alex remained cold and unmoving. The smile on his face remained the same as if it was attached while his feet slowly levitated off the ground. No, he didn’t fly high, instead, he just stood there, slightly above the ground with a face filled with arrogance and confidence!

Blood art: Enhancement!

The red-haired man growled as his body let out a red glow and he instantly expanded over twice his size! All was done in less than a second!

Boom!

His arrival came with a fierce shockwave! The towering future struck Alex from behind. In response, Alex turned snorted, and threw an open palm at the fist!

Peng!

The powerful shockwave erupted between the two but none retreated!

ROAR!

A fierce cry erupted as the massive foe didn’t hesitate to release flurries of punches, raining down on Alex! Seeing this Alex frowned but he refused to retreat! Without hesitation, he threw his fists forward and the rumbling sound erupted once again!

“YOU DARE!” The sky demon representative was enraged by this.

He was well aware of the rumble technique. It was the most basic technique that even a two-year-old child of their race can use! Seeing Alex use such outdated powers when facing him, why wouldn’t he be angry?

This was no small insult!
