Chapter 494 Star Mech

Chapter 494 Star Mech

Under the intense glow of the sunlight, Emperor Litch’s visage appeared to be almighty. That much can be said to be true from his supporters, who were all crying in delight after the Emperor did these miraculous acts.

For Alex and his allies however, what just transpired was something that came out of a nightmare.

All the new targets uttered by Emperor Litchs’ declarations were all suppressed too, with Delia, Milo, and Tong’er pinned on the ground, while Queen Mother was forcefully pulled out of the ground before getting smashed like a bat on a nearby mountain.

The tree woman’s body went immediately limp at this point, which made the nearby Alina let out an angered whimper.

"...So I was mistaken again. Emperor Litch actually had a reservoir meant for more uses of his Conqueror’s Aura..." Golden Alex whispered as he observed the now limitless amounts of hands pinning his allies. Each one of these hands represented a law modified by Emperor Litch, something that Golden Alex had no way of changing now.

He can only watch as Emperor Litch loomed all over them with his lustrous body, with the latter’s face filled with an expression of smugness.

Before Alex could try to think of a way out of their dilemma, Emperor Litc began to make his declarations again.

This time however, the target of his declarations were different.

*****************

I, the Great Emperor Litch, hereby declares an upgrade to all the Four Moon Powers present in this world!

Symbolist, Celestials, Devourers, and Soul Manifesters, all your powers are stronger now!

*****************

I, the Great Emperor Litch, hereby declares an upgrade to all the powers of my Generals!

My lovely generals, you have served well, delaying these miscreants. Now reap in the power of my blessings, and show your wrath on them!"

*****************

I, the Great Emperor Litch, hereby declares an upgrade to all the powers of my Supreme Puppets!

Ray and StarDust Reaper, you are both lucky that Wendy did not require your lives to instantly summon me... Since you two are still alive, then use your f**king power to kill my enemies!

*****************

"Boom"

Just like what had happened earlier, the effects of what Emperor Litch said was instantaneous.

Instead of having numerous set of hands however, what appeared was a shower of snowflakes, which fell directly on the people targeted by Emperor Litch’s ’beneficial’ manipulation.

All these people shouted after the snowflakes hit their bodies, with their auras spilling out of their bodies in a volatile fashion.

These people then began to show signs of intense strengthening, with their displayed power climbing at a rate that can only be considered to be freakish.

In short, these people were visibly getting stronger. A fact which Alex was not happy about.

"...Oh right, if Emperor Litch can suppress his enemies, then he can use the Laws to strengthen his allies too. How great..." Alex muttered as he felt a metaphorical shift in the whole battlefield. "Well, if it were me in his shoes, I would have done the same thing too..."

"Hey! Why did you just come now? I was waiting for you since earlier!" Malthus, who was under the siege by the Cosmic Guard since earlier, shouted these words as his body began to bulge.

He seemed to be one of the recipients of Emperor Litch’s upgrades, which was made obvious by the changes on his body.

The size increase of his body was accompanied by a great surge of power, making Malthus reach a level of strength much higher compared to before. As for how strong he is now, the only way to measure it was not experience it directly!

"Boom!" With this upgrade in this strength, the attacks unleashed by the Cosmic Guards were unable to affect Malthus anymore. All these spatial and fractal beams bounced of his skin like basketball, making him look like a large reflective basin.

"When we met each other in the last world, you told me that our alliance will be a close one. But what the hell is this? You just allowed me to be peppered by these Cosmic Guards while you waste your time sleeping?" Malthus roared out in irritation as he glared at Emperor Litch. "Is this your version of alliance?"

"....Oh f**k. Now things just got worse." Alex muttered after hearing the words that Malthus just said. "I thought having our powers sealed are already bad. Now there’s this guy too? S**t!"

There was no denying it now. Malthus and Emperor Litch actually formed an alliance, something that must have been made in order to deal with Alex!

"This s***Y Emperor certainly did a lot to prepare against me... Even I find this impressive." Alex muttered as Malthus continued to glower at the Emperor. "You sealed my power, and you strengthened the power of your allies. What’s next after this, you will make them attack us? Heh, why don’t you be the one to attack first..."

Instead of looking at the complaining Malthus, Emperor Litch turned his gaze on the spaceships hovering above him.

More specifically, the Emperor was looking at the planet-sized mothership, which was still releasing its now futile attacks on Malthus.

"I do not know what made you come here, lapdogs of the government. Hell, I don’t even care about the reason. However, you should remember that right now, you are inside my territory. And I don’t want you staying here for any longer..." Emperor Litch said in a deep, non-threatening voice as he gave a smile towards the fleet of spaceships.

"Now, I will forgive your transgressions on this planet and the attack that you just dished on my ally Malhtus." Malthus let out a snort after hearing this, which was accompanied by him giving the Cosmic Guards a threating look. "However, if you continue to stay here and make more attacks, then I will stop being cordial to you. So leave at this moment already. If you don’t, then I guess the esteemed Alpha Squad of the Cosmic Guards shall be history too..."

"Oh, and when I said all of you, that includes you, Miss Emerald." Emperor Litch added, looking at the direction where the building of the Institute was located. "I don’t care why you are with the presence of two Alex’s. I just want you to know that I want you gone. Now, leave already before I start punishing you and your friends too..."

"Sorry, but we cannot leave until we exterminated this demon. Aside from that, we have info that Jellarmo is hiding in this planet. As long as we don’t arrest or kill these two, we will not leave this planet." In face of Emperor Ltich’s domineering actions, the representative speaker of the Cosmic Guards did not back down.

Instead, this speaker doubled down on their intention to fight, turning the peaceful atmosphere between the Cosmic Guard and Emperor LItch into a heated one.

".... I see. So you are all willing to throw your life away then. It’s a pity seeing brave souls like you fall here. But such is life. Sometimes you have to kill in order to show your conviction.... And today, it will be you that shall display my everlasting conviction for power." Emperor Litch muttered in lamentation, making it appear as if he was saddened by the reply of the Cosmic Guards.

In Alex’s eyes however, Emperor Litch did not sound sad at all. He was obviously sneering at the Cosmic Guards, and the way that he smirked at the end just made that more obvious!

"In regards to my old friend Rock, I am willing to give you a second chance. Withdraw within 10 seconds, and I will not do anything to all of you." Emperor Litch stubbornly said, as if he really wanted these Cosmic Guards to leave. "If you still don’t leave, then I will kill you all. But don’t worry, your deaths will be painless... Such kind of death are the only kind of death fitting for warriors like you..."

"10"

"9"

"We won’t leave, fake Emperor, no matter what you say. If you continue to act hostile like this, then we will also not act courteous with you anymore."

"8"

"7"

"6"

"Men, prepare all the necessary components for our Star Mech! The fake sovereign had declared his hostility to us! Let’s make him repay these insults in full!"

"A Star Mech, my goodness. You, the Alpha Squad, actually brought one of them here? Did you take into account that you will be fighting me here? Hehe, as expected, you Cosmic Guards are really wary of me..."

"Shut up, fake sovereign! Continue your counting so that we can start fighting already! Or are you saying that a monarch like you is scared of facing the peak of human technology?" After the speaker of the Cosmic Gaurds said this, a silhouette of what looked like to be metallic, humanoid body hovered behind the ship fleet.

This metallic humanoid was not as large compared to Black Alex’s large form earlier, nor was it as large as the World Tree. However, a sense of intense scorching could be felt coming out of this body, something that drew a raised eyebrow from Emperor Litch himself.

"That’s a good taunt, youngster. But that’s not enough to anger me. However, consider me curious by your Star Mech. They’re robots that operate the power of stars, right?" Emperor LItch muttered as he seemed to have forgotten his threat. "I don’t even know how much your sponsors spent on that robot, but I can say that it lives up to its hype! However, do you really think that this scrap is enough to deal with me?"

"You may be aided by the power of your territory, but you should know that the galactic technology had already advanced beyond your imagination. You do not know the things that we can do now! So don’t expect an easy win!"

"Oh wow, so you’re telling me that this lump of metal shall bring my end? Hmm, let’s see if you’re so-called ’technological advancements’ will be enough to overthrow me, the Great Emperor Litch, who is already a pillar of this realm..."

"..."

"Oh, not making any more comments? Well then, let me finish my countdown."

"..."

"So, some naughty brats are in need of some spanking now. Well, you’re asking for it, so don’t blame me for what will happen next..."
