NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 432: Hidden Danger
"If they are just fighting, why are you so worried like this? Edward is possessed right now, so it's not weird. With my son's current capability, I am sure he can help his father."
"He can help for sure, Aunt, but the question is, depending on the circumstance, I don't know how, but despite giving out so much Qi to you, he is somehow still immortal.
His strength is not something Alex can fight easily; one punch is more than enough to obliterate him.
"But Brother can regenerate without any problem. I am sure he is alright."
"Yes, he can. It's not him that I am worried about. As I said, Uncle is so strong that he can easily destroy Alex's body.
This means the situation can quickly turn dangerous for him." MingYue then hesitated for a moment before she continued, "Under some circumstances, what if Alex had no choice but to accidentally kill Uncle?"
Luca's eyes turned cold, "Watch what you say, MingYue, my son will never hurt his father. Even if the situation forced him to, he will just escape and think of another plan."
"You are right, Auntie..." MingYue said without explaining further. She didn't know how to say it without going to lengths about what happened.
At this moment, even Alex himself didn't realize this, but she knew how dangerous it was.
Alex thought his emotionless state came from the shock of destroying the Midnight Clan. While this was true based on his personality, his usual response should have been getting pressured with guilt, not going emotionless.
'What should we do now, Queen? If I try to remove this, I'm afraid it will affect King's plan.'
'For now, just watch. We will see how things change from here. Since he was fighting in Uncle's inner world, this can work to our advantage.'
'Queen, do you mean for me to start confronting it after King's soul leaves his body?'
'Yes, why do you think this outside factor stayed in Alex's body all this long? That eye-being is planning to take control over it.
After Alex's soul leaves, his body will become empty. I don't know how good the body's defensive mechanism is compared to the eye-being avatar, but if it succeeds, even for a moment,
it could control his body to kill Edward, making things worse for all of us.'
"So I shouldn't have warned King about this presence?"
'No, you should. The moment your connection recovered, the eye-being would probably make its move soon.
I don't know how much of this was a coincidence, but the moment Alex got transported, that eye-being should have already planned this.
It moved Alex to a place that would cut our connection. Actually, I am surprised that a place like this exists in my world.'
'Based on the formation outside, whoever made this region is not simple, Queen. It's someone that could be counted as the elite on the universe stage.'
"That strong?"
"I don't know the strength, but the knowledge and material used are not something simple. Otherwise, there is no way to cut the connection, even with our current strength."
'I see, just another mystery that is unrelated to our situation. It doesn't matter now; what is important is to reach there quickly.'
MingYue raised her pace as she began using lifeforce to move quickly.
Looking at her, Emily thought, 'Is the situation really that dangerous? If only I could control my ability, I should be able to reach that place in a flash.'
She couldn't help but feel anxious about the situation. Emily then exchanged a gaze with her mom, but she shook her head, as Luca also didn't understand the reason.
They just followed to keep up the pace with MingYue.
Meanwhile, Alex was now inside Edward's inner world. The place was chaotic, looking like the planet MingYue and the others had visited—the Fractured Planet.
Everything was in disarray. Part of the ground floated away while lightning kept crackling in the sky.
Alex looked around, trying to find his father's presence, but unfortunately, he couldn't find one. Instead, everywhere he could feel the Dragari King.
"Come out," Alex said while his body sent out a green glow.
Outside, the rune started reacting. The sky and thunder in the inner world began to coalesce and gather together, forming a humanoid dragon.
Its appearance was similar to the avatar form he just faced. The only difference was that the skin was now replaced by red scales.
"Kekeke, disappointed? Your father is not here anymore."
Alex stomped his feet, cracking the ground where they stood, making them fall down into the abyss downstairs.
But he didn't feel panic. "This is just the outer layer of the inner world; I am sure you imprisoned him deeper inside."
The Dragari King's face turned ugly. "Both father and son, you are all annoying."
He dashed toward Alex as a spear materialized in his hand.
"What a crude way of fighting," Alex said while raising his hand upward.
Hundreds of weapons materialized in the sky; none of them were swords or spears. Every single one was a modern weapon.
With a snap of his finger, each one shot, unleashing a rain of bullets toward the Dragari King.
Smoke and flame exploded, but Alex still did not stop the attack.
Instead, he created more weapons and even started sending nukes at the Dragari King.
KABOOM!!!
Meanwhile, outside, Alex's body, now standing still, suddenly opened one of his eyes. But the pupil that showed was not his usual crimson one.
It looked like the eye-being.
Blood seeped out, creating a solid, sharp claw around his hand. Then, with one motion, he thrust it like a spear toward Edward's heart.
But just an inch away, suddenly, a staff came out, blocking it. The eye-being was caught off guard.
"Stop," Pi said, holding his staff while looking at him.
Before Alex entered, after being warned by Vesa, he decided to take countermeasures. He sent Pi out to look after his body to see if he had ever made a move.
