Chapter 228
Everything sounded reasonable and beneficial. The black cracks all over his body are the side effects of resisting an evolution. If he didn’t resist things probably wouldn’t have ended up that way.
What would an evolved human really look like?
Countless thoughts and questions popped up in his head like ads, leaving him excited and confused at the same time. It has been a while since he has experienced such emotions over anything. For the first time in a long while, he felt young and energetic again!
“I WILL LEND YOU A HAND” Alex disregarded his training and began manipulating the energy of the blue meteor around him and pushed them towards Riviz.
He sat in silence with eyes riddled with questions as he gathered all the blue mist around Riviz and kept it there. While he cannot make Riviz able to absorb the energy right away but he could create a space with so much condensed blue mist, that the body will be forced to assimilate it at a much faster rate.
Riviz felt the change and frowned. His eyes slowly opened as he saw Alex slowly waving his hands to manipulate the blue mist around and sending them his way. Seeing this he was slightly stunned since he didn’t know Alex is capable of this.
No, this isn’t was not a part of his abilities. It should be the combination of his matter absorption, gravity manipulation, and energy revolver ability! Only a combination of these three abilities can bring such results in a mystical way. He was already aware of the ability of the Estos and had a rough idea of what Alex has gone through and how strong he is with his new ability. Even then he still felt genuinely shocked by what they saw.
“I didn’t think you would change your mind. Why?” Riviz asked coldly with a dry look on His face.
.....
With a face void of emotions, it was hard for anyone to understand what was going through his mind.
“There are countless possibilities which we must explore... I think this is the best option now” Alex said with a stern look on His face while focusing on his work.
To seal the blue mist in a certain place was far more troublesome than Riviz thought. Using all the necessary parts of his various abilities to do something this amazing can never be easy.
“If this works out we can start a new breed of humans. Humans are far more capable than anyone has ever seen. That way we won’t be at the bottom of the food chain anymore. No foreign being can just come and go as they wish while we just stand helplessly and watch” Alex said with a fire burning in his eyes
“No one can do as they please with us ever again” Riviz muttered with an astonished look on his face.
Even though this was his idea he didn’t see things from this aspect. He never thought about the future, he was only thinking about himself. Thinking back on Alex’s kid who practically inherited everything Alex had and even more.
The boy who was born as an S rated guardian is no joking matter. Even actual S rated guardians were afraid of the kid. If given enough time he will definitely be something amazing!
Now a future where all their kids start from the Baron level from birth would be spectacular! The thought of having a new generation with powerful people like that made him shiver. His indifferent face was now filled with countless emotions that he has never shown before.
This is truly not a small matter!
With that, the two returned to what they were doing earlier. While Riviz tried to immerse himself in the feeling of the blue meteor, Alex focused on keeping the blue energy mist around him constant!
They sat there in silence and watched each other with cold looks on their faces. A week passed by and only then did Riviz start to feel some changes. His eyes showcased a little pain as cracks began spreading across his body but he made no attempt to fight it!
Just like Alex, the cracks kept spreading across his body, down to his finger and toenails. While it spread harder and faster, Alex soon noticed this transformation process has surpassed his and gone to another level.
Right now Riviz looked like a man filled with cracks and could break upon the smallest contact! He remained in this condition for another week but at this time his skin seemed to have pulled off forming what looked like a shell or a. Cocoon.
During this period, Riviz’s absence was already noticed, causing the culture and everyone else to come here under the guidance of the elders in search of Alex and Riviz.
When they got there, they saw Alex completely immersed in his work while Riviz was within heat seemed like a human size cocoon. When they asked, Alex explained everything to them only to find out they had already talked about this and the team rejected the idea since it was too risky but it seems Riviz ignored their warnings and still did it anyway.
Either way, no one was annoyed or pissed. Instead, they all gathered and watched as everything happened. Since Alex was gathering all the energy towards one point they didn’t have to be scared about getting hurt by excess exposure!
Crack!
In the third week, a cracking sound could be heard. Everyone turned their attention to the cracks spreading across the body of the shell! This continued for close to two hours before everything shattered like glass broken into a hundred pieces.
Within it was a long-haired perfect dark-skinned man sitting with his long black hair fluttering over the strong breeze. The edges of his eyes were painted black. So watching him slowly open his eyes, revealing the swirling dark whirlpool in his eyes.
His body was extremely, fit that it looked more comical than realistic. His ears were slightly longer and he was slightly bigger than the well built Estosian. His body looked slim and sharp meanwhile the air around him had changed. It felt like emptiness and those around him would go about feeling empty and doubting their worth!
Alex stopped levitating and he stepped on the ground. The other members of the culture and the nameless slowly stood on their feet. Everyone was waiting for what would happen next. They had no reason to lower their guard especially since it was Riviz.
Xiu!
Riviz’s eyes yanked open and the next moment he was gone!
Swoosh!
From Alex’s shadow. He emerged like a rocket, with his fingers striking forward Alex like a blade!
“Not even close!” Alex responded disdainfully as he didn’t move even though he was attacked. He just stood there with a cold look on his face as Riviz’s hands struck an invisible force just before he could make contact with his neck!
Swoosh!
He was gone!
Only now was Alex on high alert. Riviz’s actions were similar to that of a snake. The moment he struck he retreated and vanished into the shadow.
“What the hell...” Alex muttered with a frown on his face. If not for Anything. The massive meteor levitating above them is casting a massive shadow over them, in such a situation Riviz is the absolute.
“He went lost...” Kidd muttered with a frown on his face.
The other members of the culture had already taken a position where they can all watch over everyone’s back to prevent ambushes, only Alex stood alone.
“No, he didn’t go lost. His attack right now wasn’t done out of rage or hunger it was well calculated and targeted. If I got hit I would have died instantly, probably losing my spin in the process. This is not something an animal can do” Alex said with a frown.
” You are damn right about that but how true do you think your words are?” Riviz said as he slowly emerged from a blind spot in the culture’s formation. It is the spot where he would be if something like this actually happened in the future” Riviz said calmly, catching the attention of others who adjusted their stance before paying attention to him.
While they tried not to show it much, Riviz could see they hand their guards up. This made Riviz wonder what his aura was like which would make them consider him a real threat. Oblivious to what was happening, Alex and the culture just kept watching the giant shadow spread across the massive room where a meteor is found.
His shadow was the representative of himself but it was in a whole different state. It looked like it was absorbing the light around it.
No, this isn’t absorbing!
It’s more like consuming!
Riviz’s darkness was consuming the light
