Chapter 505 The 3rd number 6!
And with that, the great Emperor Litch has fallen. He was now dead and his body was in full display for the whole world to see. He was dead beyond doubt, and nothing can bring him back now.
But even if he was already dead, Golden Alex did not look happy at all. Instead, only a somber expression could be seen on his face as he kicked the Emperor's headless corpse.
"So my guess was right. Even if Emperor LItch badly wants to kill me, he still made sure to find a way to keep himself alive. Tsk, that bastard really has prepared himself on fighting me. He has countermeasures and more countermeasures against me. Heh, I guess this must be the reason he was touted as an Emperor, he just had the enough shrewdness to become one…" Golden Alex thought sourly to himself, with his frown making his unpleasant feeling obvious.
Golden Alex tried to not make sounds after that, with him only staying silent as the Emperor's body began to break down into golden particles.
*******************
[Golden Alex]: Tsk, this must be the 4th benefit granted by the Conqueror's Aura… As long as Emperor LItch's soul has a portion of it left, he can use the support of his Conquered Territories to nurture that soul… Tsk, as long as he has a soul portion hidden somewhere, he can use it to bring himself back from the brink of death! Even if that portion of soul is just a tiny piece, that will still be enough to make him come back!
[[[After thinking of these, Golden Alex stabilized his body, with his eyes vigilantly observing the golden particles that are now clumping together. He seemed to be extremely interested in these particles, so much so that he did not flinch when Alex began talking to him.]]]
[Alex]: Tsk, so that must be the reason why Emperor LItch was able to recover even when I stole half of his soul... He just used another cheating aspect of his power!
[Golden Alex]: …
[Alex]: He was able to use the assistance of his territories to regrow his soul and heal his injuries. Not only that, but he also used this to rejuvenate his Conqueror's Aura!
[Golden Alex]: Hmph, if that is the secret on how he survived all the battles that he had before, then this makes him one of the most broken power users out there! Argh! From what I can see now, only a parasite can outlast him at this point!"
[Alex]: Golden Alex, at least a parasite still has a life-cycle. Emperor Litch though? He has no life-cycle!
[Golden Alex]: Yeah, he has no life-cycle at all, Original. He is just someone who can use his power to evade death… well, unless we get to fully destroy his soul. But doing that will be extremely difficult, especially now that we had shown all our powers to Emperor Litch. Once we came back looking for him, he will be prepared against us."
[Alex]: Hehehe, why are you worrying about that, Golden Alex? With the way that we killed Emperor Litch now, I bet it will take him years to recover his power. With that kind of recovery, what do you think will happen to us at that time? Hehehe, of course we will be much stronger compared to now!"
[Golden Alex]: …
[[[After their conversation reached this state, Golden Alex suddenly became quiet, as he found himself at an impasse on what he should do next.]]]
[[[This silence however only lasted for a few seconds, as he quickly realized what he should actually do now.]]]
[[[Rustle….]]]
[[[Like a snake stalking its prey, Golden Alex slowly stretched his right arm forwards, making it approach the area where the golden particles were clumping. This move made him grimace in pain, as the injuries he incurred from fighting earlier had began to affect him now.]]]
[Golden Alex]: Hiss…
[[[But even with this excruciating pain that almost made him crazy, Golden Alex still willed his arm to move forward. He only stopped once he was touching the golden particles, which are still increasing in numbers at this point. ]]]
[Golden Alex]: Yes, we must get stronger if we want to kill him. With his recovery time, it will be better for us to get stronger at a faster rate!
[Alex]: Yeah, we must do that. But how do you plan to make yourself stronger, Golden Alex? You're still at the Fifth Stage, so that makes you pretty useless here….
[Golden Alex]: Hmph, I don't need you giving me hints now, original. I already know what to do next!
[Alex]: Oh really, and what would that be?
[Golden Alex]: Why are you still asking that? Isn't it obvious? Now that Emperor Litch's main body is dead, the Conquror's Aura that he brought here is now free to be taken! Do you think I will just let go of this treat? Hehehe, of course not!
[[[After saying these words, Golden Alex began to caress the golden particles clumped within his hands, which for some reason, seemed to be attracted to his skin. This action by the golden particles made Golden Alex grin, as if these movements were confirming his claims.]]]
[Alex]: With the rejuvenating power of his territory, Emperor LItch was able to bring his Conqueror's Aura back to Half-Step Transcendence Stage. Once he reached that stage, he began formulating a plan to kill me…
[Golden Alex]: Once Emperor Litch confirmed that we are in this world, he must have taken a portion of his Conqueror's Aura and left it on the Undying Empire. That way, even if he dies, there's still a chance for him to survive….
[Alex]: But with his confidence on winning, he could have thought that it will be impossible for him to die. Because of that, he must have brought around 95% of his Conqueror's Aura here. That level is already enough to kill us and all of his enemies here…. As for the 5%, that was the one that he left in the Undying Empire…
[Golden Alex]: Well, if we were only by ourselves, then he might have succeeded. But we have allied with another Traveler, making his victory impossible! And what did we get from that? Hehehe, we got a lot of Conqueror's Aura!
[Alex]: With this much Conqueror's Aura, you can now reach Sixth Stage, Golden Alex. But don't be that happy. If we let a few years pass by, Emperor Litch will be able to regain his power once more. …
[Golden Alex]: Heh, let that man regain his power. That way, once we kill him for the third time, I can harvest his power! Hehehe maybe at that time, I can use his death to reach Transcendence…
[Alex]: Just dream about reaching Transcendence when we have the enough power to end Emperor LItch for good. As of now, it will be impossible for us to fully eradicate him, including all the soul portions that he had hidden….
[Golden Alex]: I know about that! But can't you just let me gloat? I am about to reach Sixth Stage here! Shouldn't you be happ-
[Alex]: To kill Emperor LItch, we must reach a level of power that will allow us to trash everyone under Transcendence, including all the Half-Step Transcendent Beings. That, Golden Alex, is the threshold that I will accept before we can start hunting Emperor Litch down.
[Golden Alex]: What? You want to reach that level of power? Do you even know how hard that goal i-
[Alex]: Golden Alex, if at least 3 or 4 of my powers reaches Half-Step Transcendencee, that should be enough to make me the strongest in this realm. You believe that too, right?"
[Golden Alex]: I think that is plausible but-
[Alex]: After today's evens, 3 of my powers will reach Sixth Stage. If I continue with this pace, making these powers reach Half-Step Transcendence will be doable. I just have to be patient….
[Golden Alex]: Yes, you have to be patient. But not only that. You also need luck and epiphany to reach the power level that you are striving for. Do you think you will be able to obtain those in just a few years? With your talent, I know that you can eventually reach the peak. But when that time comes, it might be already too late for you…
[Alex]: Why are you acting worried for me, Golden Alex? Shouldn't you be devouring the Conqueror's Aura now? I can feel your excitement from here, so why are you delaying yourself? Just eat up, and get stronger!
[Golden Alex]: ….
