Chapter 502 The Beginning of the End?

"Skurza!"

Alex did not have to wait that long for the Power Synthesis to succeed. Just a few seconds after he made his thoughts regarding this enemies, the powers of his allies and his bodies have fused together, bringing a brand-new set of powers here in the Four Moons World.

"Boom boom boom!"

Behind Blue Alex and Alina, a massive, 100-meter tall Virtual Body appeared, which seemed to bear both the characteristics of Alina and Blue Alex’s Virtual Body. Its body was laced with blue lightning and nauseating spatial bends, while its head was covered with what looked like to be a smooth piece of metal.

A small gun could be seen clutched on this Virtual Body’s right hand, while a fragment of a sword blade was contained on its left hand. These two objects were complemented by a gray cape that hung on the back of the Virtual Body, with this cape swaying in a fixed rate even with the lack of any wind blowing on it.

This massive Virtual Body was constantly flickering every second or so, with its existence seemingly disappearing with each flicker. These disappearances did not have any negative effect on this Virtual Body, as it still retained its strength.

"Hoho, so my guess is indeed right. Combining my Esper Power with Alina’s will just result on the combination of our Virtual Bodies. Both of us are Sixth Stage Espers after all, so for our Esper Bodies to be the focal point of the Synthesis is a must..." Alex thought to himself as the Synthesis Virtual Body began to build up its power.

"Hong long long~"

Large swathes of area around the Synthesis Virtual Body seemed to disappear as it moved, leaving large vacuums of empty space on its wake. Nothing seemed to be able to resist this ’disappearing power’ from the Synthesis Virtual Body, resulting in more vacuum-filled space around it.

Alex only smiled wryly upon seeing this, as he was just both impressed and terrified by what he saw.

"According to Blue Alex, the power that he and Alina got after the Power Synthesis was something that is hard for me to understand. He said that this fused power was something related to the Grand Unified Theory[1]...." Alex let out a sigh at this point, showing the slightly frustration that he had with the info that he just received.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, with my current level of knowledge, not even I can understand the Grand Unified Theory. Of course even Blue Alex and Alina had no way of understating this new power too... They can barely even keep their power from destroying this planet...." Alex thought as he shook his head. He seemed to be slightly amused by the dilemma experienced by Blue Alex and Alina, something which was he’s not interested to show to others.

"But even if they can’t control their new power well, they still have the strength to use it on our enemies. Hahaha, as long as they can keep this new power from killing us, then it is still good! We can just research about the Grand Unified Theory once we get out of this mess."

Once he was done observing Blue Alex and Alina, Alex turned his attention on the other pair who had their powers fused.

This pair was of course the one made up of Black Alex and Queen Mother.

"What the fu-"

To Alex’s relief, he saw that the Power Synthesis between Queen Mother and Black Alex had succeeded. Just the presence of a massive body above these two were enough proof of that.

But instead of acting happy with what he saw, Alex was actually more confused at this point.

Why was he confused? Well, it’s because the massive body floating above Black Alex and Queen Mother was something that he did not expect to see!

An 80-foot dragon, whose body is made up of wood, was currently hovering menacingly above Queen Mother and Black Alex. Its wooden body was covered with all sorts of vines and flowers, which made its body look both ancient and beautiful.

There was a horn jutting out of this dragon’s head, which was as long as a 10-storey building. The colors of Black Alex’s Abyssal Pillar could be seen on this horn, with the tip of the horn exuding an aura similar to that of an Abyss Envoy.

This horn appeared to be no other than Black Alex’s Abyssal Pillar itself, which seemed to have been turned into the horn of the wooden dragon.

Right now, this dragon was not moving away on its spot. It just hovered protectively above Black Alex and Queen Mother, with its wings covering the two tightly.

The presence of this wooden dragon was enough to make Alex sigh again, as the info that he received from Black Alex was just as confusing as Blue Alex’s.

"So according to Black Alex, he and Queen Mother was unsure on what kind of power they obtained from their Power Synthesis... They have no prior knowledge that something like this can exist, and not even their new power explained itself to them..." Alex only sighed again at this point, as he had no more actions left to do here. "But Black Alex also told me that they can still control their new power. They were just unsure on how much damage it could do, as this was their first time using it..."

"Boom boom boom!"

These fusions brought fourth more earth-shaking tremors around the whole world, making its residents shake in fear. Even Delia and her allies seemed to be shaken up by the results of the fusion, something that made Alex nod his head.

"Hmm, these new powers might be unstable, but maybe, just maybe, I they can be used properly to win here. I just have to make sure that no collateral damage will appear on this plane-"

"Oi Alex, why are you acting worried like that? Even if their new powers are still unstable, it’s still usable enough to use against our enemies!" It was Golden Alex who talked at this point, with each of his words said in a scathing manner. "Why are you even worrying about the instability of these powers? Just use them on our enemies already!"

"Golden Alex, you don’t need to tell me that. Of course I will use these new powers to win. I was just... making sure that things won’t be that messed up." Alex hurriedly replied as he verified for one more time the success of his allies.

"Hmph, you better do that." Golden Alex replied, with his tone sounding softer already. "There’s only a few seconds left before Sierra succeeds on her Possession. Before that time comes, all our enemies must be wiped away!"

"I know, I know. I’m about to issue an attack command already, so don’t bother me!" Alex said before he turned his attention on his other bodies. "I’m about to reconnect with them, so just stay silent, ok?"

"..."

"Shulala~" As he reconnected his mind with Blue Alex and Black Alex, Alex did his best to not get swept up from the overwhelming power that are bombarding the bodies of the two.

It was certainly difficult for him, as the sensation of the wooden dragon clutching his heart and the feeling of the armored virtual body stabbing his head were things that were hard to ignore.

But he managed to get past through them, with only his mental fortitude consumed in the end.

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

[Alex]: Black Alex and Queen Mother, go and kill the two Supreme Puppets. Oh, and don’t forget to kill Ray’s Companions too. Just make sure that Vera’s body will be fully preserved. As for you Blue Alex and Alina, go kill the remaining Generals and Malthus. Make sure that they will die quickly without any complications! I don’t want any more mess-ups here!"

[Black Alex]: Noted, original. The Abyss is pleased with your actions.

[Alex]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they can be pleased all they want.

[Blue Alex]: Noted, original. My calculations say that victory in this battle is already a certainty.

[Alex]: Hehe, I don’t need your calculations to know that I won. I already knew that I will win!

[Alina]: Why do you want to preserve Vera’s body? Are you planning to do something with this b**ch?

[Alex]: Huh? No, it’s nothing like that! I just heard that Vera has a Divine Sensory Organ like yours! Since we’re killing her already, then I thought that we should just harvest it! It could be of some use to you after all...

[Alina]: Oh.

[Queen Mother]: Alex, pardon me for asking me this, but why is Emperor LItch not included in your attack list? You told us to attack all the possible enemies that we could have, but you excluded Emperor Litch from it. Are you perhaps planning to-

[Alex]: Don’t worry about Emperor LItch. I have something special planned for him. I assure you, this won’t be messing things up here. Just... just let me do this, okay?

[Queen Mother]: If that’s what you think is beneficial, then I have no qualms with it.

[Alina]: ...You can reduce my dinner later if that will be enough to reduce my embarrassment. Oh, and I don’t have any problems with you excluding Emperor LItch. With the things that he did to you, a quick death is something that he does not deserve...

[Black Alex]: The Abyss is interested on seeing what you plan to do with Emperor LItch. Can I be allowed to watch?

[Blue Alex]: Excluding Emperor LItch from the kill list still nets a 100% success rate for this mission. Hmm, how could that be?

[Alex]: ...Just stop talking and let’s get to killing ok? We can have more time chatting later.
