Chapter 479: Child Collector
Chapter 479: Child Collector
Alexander walked near to it. He placed his hand on the weird crystalized rock in which the Soul King was sealed. He tried to feel the consciousness inside.
Once he felt that a connection was established, he talked.
"Hello there, Soul King." Alexander greeted.
"Who are you?" The soul king's muffled voice came to Alexander's head.
"I am a traveler from a distant place. Can you tell me who you are?" Alexander asked. He didn't feel any kind of resentment from this being. It didn't even look like a human so he had his doubts that this soul king could possibly be an alien.
"Me? I don't remember... I think I had a name long ago. But they call me Soul King now. I know I am not from here but I don't know where I am from," the soul king replied, sounding more confused than Alexander.
"Okay, so you have mental retardation too. Well, staying locked up here for a thousand years would do that to anyone. Do you want to get out of this stone?" Alexander asked him.
"Can I?" The soul king replied.
Alexander's eye twitched at his cryptic replies. "Where are your arms and legs?"
"I do not know." The soul king answered."Ugh... okay then, I will look for them and return. Until then, watch this T.V." Alexander said and materialized a television with various shows running on it. He put it right in front of the soul king.
"Fascinating," Alexander heard the soul king's voice.
"Haha, yeah, it is nice. See you later," Alexander said goodbye and came out of the palace.
Outside he was again greeted by the 5 royal guards.
"You Shinigami have a really great body. I broke your teeth and they are already back." Alexander was astounded.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO SOUL KING?" Ichib? Hy?sube bellowed.
Alexander waved his hand and a zipper appeared on the loud man's lips. Alexander had now found out that he could change things around him with just a thought. This increase in his power was really noticeable to him.
Before this, he had to focus on what he wanted to do and most of the things happened because of his use of magic and transfiguring. However, now it was as simple as just wanting it.
"Stop shouting so much. Soul King is fine, I just talked to him. I recommend you five don't slack anymore and keep him safe or I will fire you. Take care," Alexander shrugged at them and left to find Yamamoto.
The five blinked stupidly and just saw him leaving.
"UMMM..."
Ichibe made noise while trying to get the zipper off of his lips.
"Don't worry, it will go away in an hour. Do some meditation until then," Alexander said as he left. The other four were a bit scared at the moment and didn't dare to speak or fight him.
Once he was gone, Kirio looked around and said, "What kind of storm did we just pass through?"
"I don't want to know the answer," a reply came.
...
Alexander appeared in Yamamoto's office and took a seat.
"Yamamoto, I have a task for you. I need you to locate Soul King's limbs. I talked to him. He wants them back," Alexander revealed.
Yamamoto's eyes shot up, "You talked to him?"
It was a genuine shock to them. He and the royal guards had seen the state of Soul king. It was certainly not able to talk.
"Of course, I talked with him mentally. Do you know where his limbs are? Maybe the first shinigami who cut him kept these limbs secure?" Alexander asked.
Yamamoto coughed a little. He had no idea where the limbs were except the one that was supposed to be operating from the outer areas of Eastern Rukongai.
"We only know of one hand. It is called Mimihagi. Mimihagi lacks a physical body entirely, instead, it appears as an entity of Reishi in the form of living darkness that takes varying forms between his classical form. It is treated like a god in the Eastern Rukongai," Yamamoto told him.
"Oh, then you might want to keep an eye on it. I will be reattaching it to the soul king later. Okay then, I will be leaving for some personal matter." Alexander said and got up.
He went out and saw Ragnarok was still working. "Hey, aren't you coming to dinner in Phixheim?"
Ragnarok looked down from the building's roof, "Damn, I nearly forgot. Let's go. Can't have little Thea's party be delayed."
"Haha, I am putting little Nel's name on the cake too," Alexander added. Nel was currently sleeping on his shoulder. She was holding onto his head with her arms and was resting her head on top of Alexander's head. She was able to sleep in peace and safety after so long so she was as good as unconscious at the moment.
"Sure, how can our Alexander the child collector ignore a kid," Ragnarok joked.
Alexander coughed hearing that "Don't make it sound so inappropriate,"
...
Alexander appeared inside Phixheim with Ragnarok and Nel. Everything was decorated there. It was the first of its kind event. The whole family and the population of his solar system would be having fun.
The party was mainly for the birth of Thea and now Nel was included in it.
"Boss, everything is ready," Dobby informed him.
"Come, my friend. Everyone has been waiting for you," Iroh interjected.
Alexander nodded, "Dobby, make another cake, and put Nel's name on it."
Alexander then decided to wake up the little girl. "Hey there, Nel. Wake up, we're in the new home,"
She woke up while rubbing her big eyes. She looked around and noticed the amazing castle, lake, and so many people.
"Woah, where are we?" She asked in wonder.
"This is where your grandpa lives. You will be living here too. Go and play now. We will be starting the event soon." He said and put her down. She quickly noticed her 'brothers' were already there talking to some kids. She ran up to them.
Alexander turned around and saw his wife helping everyone, "Hey, Oli. I hope you're having fun with so many grandkids now."
Olivia smiled, "Yes, I am. I don't even have time to remember you now,"
Alexander nearly coughed up blood, "Haha, very funny. Well, where are Yalo and Ajax? Shouldn't they be here? A little girl has joined our family, they need to introduce themselves."
"Oh, another granddaughter? Where is she?" Olivia enthusiastically asked.
"Probably somewhere near Amy. Amy is the de facto leader of all the children in Phixheim." Alexander replied jokingly.
They both walked to a bench and sat down while looking around at everyone being busy and children playing near them. It was a moment of pure bliss for the old couple.
"Who would have thought that after my death, I would reach a heaven like this," Olivia exclaimed.
Alexander put his arm around her shoulder, "Me neither, haha... I was very shocked when I saw father for the first time. I knew I was dead but my mind was not able to comprehend that I was standing in front of the God."
"You were an atheist, so of course it was hard to believe. I tried so hard to get you to go to church with me back then but you were too stubborn," Olivia huffed, reminiscing about the past days.
"Well, I was young back then. I had seen so much war and fighting in the world that I had lost all hope that god existed. Because if he did, why did so many people die?" Alexander replied.
"And? What was his answer?" Olivia asked with interest.
"He said he only hears wishes of pure people. And nobody's pure on Earth." Alexander answered.
"True, someday when you become a god, you'd have to make this choice too." Olivia sighed.
"Actually, I have already reached that point. The time before I helped little Thea, I had a power upgrade. Now I can hear the wishes of those who pray to me. It took a long time to organize them but I'm still not good at it," Alexander revealed.
"Yeah, I noticed something changed, you look different after you went to that uninhabited planet. What happened there?" She interestingly asked.
"Well, 1.5 million years of meditation would do this to anyone. I had a big breakthrough and became truly omniscient, but I can't control my power yet." Alexander revealed, shocking Olivia.
"WHAT?! how did you stay alone for this long?" She asked worriedly and held his hand.
Alexander smiled, "Well, Oli. Every person has great power somewhere hidden inside them. It gets activated whenever we see our loved ones in danger.
"For Medusa and Thea, I had to do it. I am sure I would have done it even if it needed 10 million years. I would do anything for my dear family,"
Olivia caressed his face, "I am proud of you, Alex,"
Alexander chucked, "Haha, didn't you just say that you don't even get time to remember me?"
"But I never said I loved you any less," she replied.
"Bwahaha... playing word games with me now. I don't think I can win an argument with you so let's just focus on this little party," Alexander laughed loudly.
