Chapter 465 What“s better than a normal object? A Supreme Object!
"Hm? There’s something weird with this person..." While Golden Alex was busy on recovering himself, Alex, who was engrossed on observing the one who sneak attacked everyone, frowned as he noticed something different about the attacker.
"Judging by his aura and appearance, the attacker is no other than Ray. But there is something different with Ray now..." Alex thought to himself, watching the said Traveler wipe the floor with the 4 Generals.
"Boom boom boom!"
Alex watched as Ray effortlessly summoned bombs out of nowhere, conjuring them in such a way that the generals were unable to dodge their explosions. This led to the situation where the generals were unable to do anything against Ray, making the whole fight a one-sided battle.
The Dragon King, who had transformed into a golden five-clawed dragon, had already lost all of his wings, with his body blasted full of festering holes. His golden scales were also unrecognizable during this time, as of most of them were already smashed beyond recognition.
He could only barely hover in the air as he kept himself on defensive.
The Plum Blossom Immortal is in a much worse condition, as he looked like just a lump of meat barely held together by numerous seals. He seemed to be both dead and alive at this point, and the only indication that he was alive was the faint hints of vitality emanating out of his breathing hole.
The Void Master on the other hand was almost undiscernible at this point. His body, which was said to be a perfect mix with the void, was flickering in and out of existence, with each flicker accompanied by a shout of fear from him.
Whatever bombs Ray used on Void Master, these bombs must have been powerful enough to induce this kind of change in him.
These three generals looked like they were struck by misfortune because of their current states, but that is wrong, as they were way luckier compared to Wine Ruler.
What was left of the formerly alive Wine Ruler was only his corpse, floating silently on the site of the battle.
The initial attack by Ray had killed Wine Ruler instantly, reducing him into nothing but a floating sack of meat.
"...."
This whole match looked like it had its conclusion already set, and Alex can only watch quietly as it unfolded in front of him.
"He is clearly Ray, but why do I feel like he is also a different person?" Alex thought, noticing that the way that Ray looked was different from earlier.
His injuries were mostly gone, and the twisted look on his face was replaced by a composed one. There was no hint of maliciousness in his actions, as he only looked like a majestic and imperious person.
Even his attacks had a tinge of change in it, as Alex noticed that Ray’s current bombs were way stronger than the ones that he was using before.
"Seeing that he was injured against Delia earlier, I can say that Ray should only be as strong as an Initial Sixth Stage Being. That’s how things should be going here. But what is happening here? Why do I see the 4 Generals getting destroyed by Ray alone? This is not logical..." Alex thought as he noticed that Golden Alex was almost done with his healing.
"Whatever is happening with Ray now is something that I should worry later. For now, I must make Golden Alex escape here. There’s nothing that he can get by staying in this place anymore." Alex thought urgently as he decided to manually move Golden Alex’s body by himself.
"Hey!"
Alex ignored this complaint by Golden Alex as he forcefully moved his body, with him trying his best to not be affected by the pain that accompanied his forced take-over.
"Shut it, Golden Alex. There’s something wrong with Traveler Ray, and that made him much stronger. I don’t know how strong he is right now, but I can say that he can flatten you in a second. So don’t complain and just allow me to make you leave." Alex hurriedly said to the pissed Golden Alex, who looked like he was about to make his body stay. "I can’t let you die, so just listen to me."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Argh, I really hate this, but what can I do? If I am just in my complete form, then Ray would be nothing but scraps in front of me..."
This reply by Golden Alex might not sound like a yes/no answer, but Alex already took this as his affirmation to leave.
"It will take Ray a few more seconds before he can finish off those generals. We shall use that time to leave quietly." Alex muttered as he began planting his body’s left foot forward.
"Hoho, why do I feel like you want to leave? Did I allow you to do so?" Before Alex and Golden Alex could enact their departure plan, someone materialized in front of them, blocking their escape path.
This man was no other than Ray, who had his arms crossed as he gave them a smile full of hatred.
Streaks of gold adorned his hair as he stared at Golden Alex, who did his best to not be shaken by him.
"You cannot leave in my presence. I will not allow that as long as I live." Ray said in a low tone. "By the decree of the Emperor, I shall kill you first before he arrives."
After saying these words, the golden streaks on Ray’s hair began to spread, and before Alex could know it, the entirety of Ray’s hair had turned entirely golden already.
"Hong~"
This sudden change in Ray’s appearance and the words that he just uttered elicited a tremble from Alex, as a certain memory of his appeared in his mind.
This memory made Alex frown, as he was now able to make sense on what was happening to Ray.
Golden Alex also reacted strongly to Ray’s change, as the Conqueror’s Aura inside him began to feel hunger upon seeing Ray. This feeling allowed Golden Alex to also realize what was happening, and it was confirmed when Alex began to talk.
"That attitude and that golden hair... I see, I see. Ray, you were always under Emperor Litch’s control all this time , right?" Alex said, giving Ray the saddest smile that he can give to him. "There’s no doubt about it. You had been turned by Emperor Litch into one of his Supreme Puppets..."
"..." Ray did not give any reaction to this statement by Alex, although the way that he perked up after Alex mentioned supreme puppets was enough to show his knowledge about them.
"Aside from being a powerful conqueror, Emperor Litch is also a talented puppeteer. He can control living beings with his own soul power, which is a perfect fit with his Conqueror’s Aura." Alex continued to say, with him sounding like he was enjoying what he was saying. "These talents allowed Emperor Litch to have his own unique power which is something that I did not even managed to usurp from him. And that power is the creation of Supreme Puppets."
"..."
"Hmph, by combining the majestic effects of the Conqueror’s aura and his own puppeteering skills, Emperor Litch can turn a living being into a highly enhanced Supreme Puppet. I am not exactly sure on how the process happens, although what I am sure is that once a creature becomes a Secret Puppet, they can reach higher levels of power beyond their original one. That had been showcased perfectly by you earlier."
"..."
"You should have only been as strong as Delia, yet now you were able to defeat those Generals easily. If you were not that Emperor’s Supreme Puppet, then I don’t know what you could be..."
"..."
""Heh, do you know how rare you are? Out of all the servants that he had, Emperor Litch can only turn three people into his supreme puppets. From what I can remember, he already had two supreme puppets with him, although he did not mention where they are. I thought that he will reserve the creation of the third Supreme Puppet for me, but who would have thought that he will actually use it on you!"
"..."
Alex then began laughing at this point, as if he found Ray’s situation to be quiet hilarious. Obviously, Ray himself was not amused by this.
"Hahaha! This must really suck for you, Ray! You are a Traveler, yet you became under the control of someone? Hahahaha, if you were still alive, you could be cursing the Emperor right now! Haha-"
"Are you done saying your last words? Because if you are, then I shall show you what happens to those who insult the Emperor!" Ray declared in a loud voice as his golden hair began to glow. "Those who insult the Emperor only deserve death, and nothing else but death! And that includes you, Alex. You stole the Emperor’s power, so I just give it back to him! Do you think I will negotiate with you? No, I will not do that! I shall get the Emperor’s power over your dead body!"
"Ah, a Supreme Puppet is really a great puppet. You can still move by your own even when Emperor Litch is not controlling you by himself. That is impressive." Alex said, with his voice dripping with sarcasm.
He appeared to be not worried about Ray’s threats to him, something that made the puppet Ray angrier.
"Did Emperor Litch say that you can do anything by yourself as long as it will benefit him? If that’s true, then what you just did here is weird." Alex said, waving his hand towards the severely beaten up generals. "They are your Emperor’s followers, and yet you still dare beat them up? There must be someth-"
"Instead of attacking you directly, those generals had the gall to actually negotiate with you! That is something that I do not like, so I personally punished them for it." Ray said, interrupting Golden Alex. "Hmph, since I already killed one of them, and I brought the others to the brink of their death, then maybe, just maybe, they have learned their lesson already..."
TIME LEFT BEFORE EMPEROR LITCH ARRIVES: 22 MINUTES
"You seem awfully talkative this time. I thought you were here to kill me. Why are you not doing that then?" Alex said after Ray said his twisted logic. "You even allowed me to explain who you really are...."
"Hmph, consider this as my courtesy for you. Even when you are a despicable person, I can still honor your achievements. Because of that, I allowed you to talk like this" Ray replied as his golden hair began swaying with the wind. "You can say that... this is your last meal before your execution."
"Execution? What an apt word." Alex replied as he let out a sigh. The panic that he had on his face earlier was now replaced by calm, as both he and Alex realized that there is no way out for them now.
With the Supreme Puppet Ray blocking their way, the only thing that they can do to survive is to beat him!
"If you want to execute me, then you better be prepared. Who knows, it might be your corpse that will be floating in the air later." Alex said with a smile. "Even when you are more powerful compared to me, you still should not underestimate me. You never know what tricks I have in my sleeve..."
