Endless Journey: Infinite Realms
/ Endless Journey: Infinite Realms 466 The Emperor shall rule them All
"Of course I can do that, but just like what I said earlier, I will not be able to defeat or kill Ray with this power alone." Alex replied as he and Golden Alex waited for Ray's reaction to his words earlier.
"If you know that, they why did you say that have hidden tricks? Isn't that just provoking him?"
"Idiot! By saying that I have hidden tricks, I can make Ray doubt a little and be wary of my actions. That way, he will be unsure of landing the killing strike on me. After all, my 'hidden trick' might trigger and affect him any second now…" Alex replied smugly as he took control of the Conqueror's Aura.
"I see what you are trying to do here. You want to prolong this fight. For what? For an assistance to come here?" Golden Alex thought with exasperation. "Didn't you say that there's nobody else that can rush to rescue us? Why wait for the rescue then?"
"Hmph, you may not have noticed it, but earlier, Black Alex was captured by the Cosmic Guards. And in their ship, he met up with Officer Emerald." Alex replied as he began circulating the golden and refreshing Conqueror's Aura all over his veins. "You should have seen Black Alex's face when he saw her. He was totally surprised!"
Alex then chuckled inwardly, showing his humor that Golden Alex did not share.
"You said that he saw Officer Emerald? If that's true, then how can you be happy about that? Isn't she the one who-"
"My connection with Officer Emerald is still complicated, but right now, her assistance to me will be helpful." Alex hurriedly said as he cut-off Golden Alex. "That woman... she directly said to Black Alex that she will help me out, and she actually did that! Do you know where she is right now? Heh, she's currently flying towards this planet with her armor on! That's already a sign that she will be trying to help us!"
Alex said these words with the same amusement that he had earlier. Golden Alex on the other hand was not happy about this, and he seemed to be even more worried about this issue compared to the current threat on his life.
"So… you will be risking my fate on the hands of that woman? Don't you have any better choice for me?" Golden Alex thought angrily as he saw that Ray was still motionless. "I mean, you can just use Blue Alex to pop here for a second and stall Ray. With Blue Alex's power, I am sure that he can force him back better than me! Using him will be more efficient compared to waiting for that damned Officer Emerald!"
"I said earlier that Blue Alex can't come here, and that answer still remains the same right now." Alex replied as he kept his control over the Conqueror's Aura.
"Ugh. So we sh-"
"Just keep quiet Golden Alex. I know that you are under pressure here, but you should remember that I also care about you. So just let me deal with this problem by myself. Don't worry, I have a plan that might work." Alex said, which only elicited a light scoff from Golden Alex.
"You sure about that Alex? Hmph, let's see how long you can make my body last under you control. Will it be 5 se-"
"Boom!"
Before Golden Alex and Alex could continue their argument, the previously silent Ray began to make his move, as he quickly unleashed 50 bombs on Alex's location.
"Prika prika prika!"
The laws of nature began to destabilize at the area of explosion, plunging everything inside it into destroyed pieces of matter. Even the extremely sturdy materials had no answer to this destabilization, leaving an area full of warping and destruction.
"Tsk, I missed." Ray tersely said as he looked at the effects of his attack with disappointment. There were no traces of Alex in this area, making it apparent that he had dodged the attack before it landed on him.
"I knew it! Alex, you must have been using the Conqueror's Aura to manipulate the rules and laws of this place. That's a high-grade method that only Emperor LItch could use. But you can also use it now? Heh, this makes this chase interesting…" Ray's displeasure only lasted for a second before it was replaced with his typical sadistic mind.
"Go, traitor. Run all you want using your stolen power. There's still 19 minutes left before the Emperor arrives, so I can spend some time with you." Ray mumbled in undisguised frenzy, with his eyes now burning red with bloodlust. "Hehehe, I have prepared a lot of bombs to use on you, traitor. Let's see how you will react to all of them…"
"Swoosh!"
Ray's body then blurred before disappearing on the spot, indicating the usage of a teleportation ability.
"Hahaha! Let's see if you can use your power to bend the rules in your favor this time, Alex!" Ray's disappearing silhouette said, with his voice still full of malice and bloodlust.
"Let's see if your Conqueror's Aura can help you withstand my power!"

TIME LEFT BEFORE EMPEROR LITCH ARRIVES: 19 MINUTES
"Having a Conqueror's Aura sure is nice. As long as you are proficient in it, you cannot only just control people and the matter around you. You can even influence the laws of the world and use them on your advantage!" Alex, who had been feeling a liberating feeling since earlier, said these words to Golden Alex in a smug tone. "Must be nice if I can get its full version too…"
"W-what the hell did you just do, Alex? How were you able to dodge that?" Instead of acting like a calm person, Golden Alex's reaction made him look like he had been kicked by someone on his crotch. "I thought you said that you have no way to fight against Ray? If that's true, then what the hell is that?"
"…Golden Alex, don't tell me that you don't even know about the power assigned to you? Come on, you are the manifestation of Conqueror's Aura itself! You should have known what I did!" Alex replied with a baffled tone. "Wait, don't tell me you-"
Alex had to stop speaking at this point, as Ray sent another batch of bombs towards his location.
Just a few nanoseconds before Ray's latest attack could land on him, Alex let out a shout as he spat out a portion of his Conqueror's Aura, which then proceeded to distort the scenery in front of him
"Hong long long~"
Before Golden Alex could notice it, he and Alex were already above a mountain range, which was hundreds of kilometers away from their former location.
"Boom boom boom!"
The effects of Ray's latest attack were now hundreds of kilometers behind them, which left Golden Alex in a state of confusion once more.
"Alex, I have no idea about what you did since I am not complete. You remember that the other half of me is with Emperor Litch, right? That means that my knowledge about Conqueror's Aura is incomplete too! So whatever you are doing now, I have no clue about it!" Golden Alex replied as Alex did his distortion trick once more. "Just… tell me the truth already, ok? Maybe I can help you out once I know it…"
"Sigh… so you don't know the higher level of Conqueror's Aura. Hmm… maybe that knowledge is with your other half. I see, I see. So that's why you feel weird to me." Alex replied contemplatively as he dealt with Ray's attack once more.
This time around, Alex did not use his trick to dodge the bombs. Instead, he used it to swap locations with Ray, allowing him to stand in Ray's spot, and leaving Ray under the barrage of his own explosions.
"Boom boom boom!"
Unsurprisingly, Ray was unscathed by this move, although it can be seen that he is utterly pissed now. Upon seeing this, Alex let out a chuckle as he began moving away again.
"For a person with Conqueror's Aura to be considered powerful, he should establish and control an Empire, along with the people within it. By having these two things, the wielder of the Conqueror's Aura will have their source of power, which will grow stronger depending on the state of the Empire and its residents…" Alex said in an unhurried manner, making his demeanor look like a professor who was in the mood to tell about his life story.
"…"
"Once a Conqueror reaches a certain threshold with his Empire, he will be able to access a higher level of power that only those with Conqueror's Aura can do. And that power is the manipulation of the laws and rules inside his Empire." Alex said, with his voice suddenly sounding solemn.
"As long as an area is inside the Conqueror's Empire, every law and rule there will be under the Conqueror's control! Nothing can object those rules, and only the Emperor can repeal it! That, Golden Alex, is the real power that the wielders of Conqueror's aura have!
"!!!"
As Golden Alex went still from this revelation, Alex continued his talk while he used his power to deal with Ray's attacks.
"You may not remember it, but during the peak state of the Undying Empire, Emperor Litch was a Half-Step Transcendent Being. All the support given to him by the Undying Empire made him reach that level of power, and that also allowed him to control everything on his Empire like they were just his hands." Alex said as his face contorted into that of disgust. "Fortunately for those poor residents, my actions wrecked Emperor Litch's plan to become a Transcendent Emperor, leaving me and him in this kind of state."
"…"
"Since I have control of the Conqueror's Aura too, I can also manipulate the rules and laws inside the Undying Empire, which includes this world. However, due to the fact that I only have half of the Conqueror's Aura and that it is only at the Fifth Stage of Power, the law manipulations that I can do is just minimal." Alex said as he spat out one more portion of the Conqueror's Aura.
"See this 'teleportation' technique that I am using? This is not actually teleportation. I just used the Conqueror's Aura to shrink the distance between me and my desired location. Once I step on my desired location, I will restore the distance, which makes it appear as if I teleported. Pretty neat, right?" Alex declared after doing the exact same things that he just said.
"…"
Even though Golden Alex wanted to say something about this reveal, he found himself unable to talk, as he was too engrossed on observing Alex's actions.
Alex naturally noticed this, although he did nothing to interrupt Golden Alex's current state.
"Golden Alex, this is the best control of the laws that I can perform right now. If I want to do more amazing things with it, I must first devour the other half of the Conqueror's Aura and upgrade it into the Sixth Stage. Which sadly, I still cannot do now." Alex said as he let out an amused smile. "Golden Alex, I know that you are very excited on the notion of gaining your complete form, but we must survive our ordeal first. We can't afford to die before even meeting Emperor Litch, right?"
