Chapter 190: Turn of event
Boom!
Alex’s aura erupted from his body like an endless cosmic storm. The surrounding space trembled under the pressure, and the laws governing the secret realm began to distort. Within a few moments, the energy radiating from him had risen to a level equal to that of the Evil God King standing before him.
The creature’s eyes widened in complete disbelief.
"You are a Supreme God King?" it asked. Its voice was filled with shock. "But I have never seen you before. How is this possible? No, no, no. I had to sacrifice ninety percent of my power just to descend into the lower realm. How can you possess your full strength here? This is not fair!"
The creature’s expression twisted as panic and confusion overwhelmed it. For countless years it had believed itself to be among the most powerful beings in existence. Yet a completely unknown individual had suddenly appeared before it and matched its strength effortlessly.
Alex merely smirked.
"I can explain how that works."
Before the creature could react, Alex vanished from his original position.
His thoughts had already changed. At first, he had intended to eliminate the creature and absorb whatever benefits he could gain from its corpse. However, now that he had obtained this level of power, a much better opportunity had presented itself.
His cultivation path had become entirely different from anything he had followed before. Until he reached the Absolute Reality Realm, he could contract one hundred pet beasts. Every single one of those slots was precious.
A creature of this caliber was standing directly before him.
There was no way he would allow it to escape.
The Evil God King’s instincts exploded with warning signals. Every cell in its body screamed that it was facing a danger beyond imagination. The urge to flee became overwhelming.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
A hand had suddenly wrapped around its neck.
"Be my pet," Alex said with a smile that seemed almost demonic.
"System, initiate the forceful bond."
[Ding! Forceful bond is being initiated.]
A terrifying pain instantly spread through the creature’s soul.
"Let me go!"
Its roar shook the surrounding space.
The agony was unlike anything it had ever experienced before. It was not merely physical pain. It felt as though every fragment of its existence was being torn apart and rewritten.
Yet no matter how violently it struggled, it could not escape Alex’s grasp.
"Die!"
The creature’s voice thundered across the void.
Knowing that it could not break free through ordinary means, it immediately activated its Origin Essence. This was a forbidden technique that exchanged life force for power. Every second of usage consumed its vitality, but survival had become more important than the future.
Its weakened aura began rising rapidly.
Power surged through its body like a raging flood. The restrictions imposed by its damaged state started breaking apart one after another.
The creature’s strength climbed higher and higher.
However, Alex remained completely calm.
At this point, he stood near the peak of the Megaversal Level. The increase in power displayed by the Evil God King was impressive, but it was still far from enough to threaten him.
[Ding! The target is extremely powerful. Host must suppress the target for ten minutes.]
Soon, the creature’s aura reached a level comparable to Alex’s own.
Although it had lost most of its power after descending into the lower realm, it had once been a peak tier Supreme God King. By burning its life force, it was temporarily reclaiming part of that former glory.
The creature suddenly grabbed Alex’s wrist.
Muscles tightened. Divine energy exploded between them. The surrounding space cracked under the pressure generated by their struggle.
Using all of its strength, the Evil God King slowly loosened Alex’s grip.
Its objective was simple.
Escape.
It no longer cared about victory. It no longer cared about pride. It simply wanted to get away from this terrifying madman.
Unfortunately, Alex’s smile only widened.
"Archangel Transformation."
Boom!
A brilliant explosion of holy light erupted from his body.
Sixteen enormous wings unfolded behind him.
Each feather appeared to contain countless stars, while endless streams of divine energy flowed across the wings like rivers of liquid sunlight. The darkness surrounding them was instantly swept away by the overwhelming radiance.
Alex’s already terrifying power multiplied a thousandfold.
The pressure released by his presence became so immense that the void itself began collapsing.
The Evil God King’s expression froze.
A moment earlier it had believed that it finally possessed enough strength to escape.
Now it realized how foolish that belief had been.
The overwhelming force pressing down upon it had increased beyond reason.
Its resistance became meaningless.
"Stop struggling," Alex said calmly. "You cannot escape your destiny."
The creature’s eyes became bloodshot.
"Destiny?"
Its voice was filled with fury.
"What destiny are you talking about? The destiny that branded me as evil from the moment I was born? The destiny that took my wife away from me? The destiny that forced me to suffer for countless years because of a title I never chose?"
Its roar echoed endlessly through the void.
"I will never submit to such a destiny!"
The creature’s emotions erupted completely.
Hatred.
Sorrow.
Pain.
Regret.
Every negative emotion it had accumulated over countless years exploded outward at once.
It poured all of that emotion into its strength.
Every fragment of its being rebelled against submission.
Every part of its existence rejected defeat.
Boom!
Something suddenly shattered deep within its body.
The sound was not physical. It was as if invisible chains that had bound it since birth had finally broken apart.
The laws governing its existence began changing.
Dark energy swirled around its body.
Its aura transformed completely.
A new level of power emerged from depths that had previously remained inaccessible.
[Ding! The target is evolving into a Hyperversal Lifeform.]
[Ding! Host cannot possess a Hyperversal pet with current cultivation.]
[Ding! If evolution succeeds, this world will be destroyed.]
Alex stared in disbelief.
For the first time in a long while, he genuinely felt speechless.
"Damn it."
He rubbed his forehead.
"Is this thing some kind of protagonist? Am I the villain here?"
The situation had become absurd.
A few moments ago, he had merely wanted to capture a powerful pet.
Now that same target was evolving into a Hyperversal existence capable of destroying the entire world.
The worst part was that he did possess a solution.
The Angel of Creation’s power could suppress the creature instantly.
However, activating Hyperversal power inside this world would also destroy the world.
No matter which path he chose, destruction seemed inevitable.
"Damn it. I need to finish this immediately." freewёbnoνel.com
Alex knew that hesitation would only make matters worse.
A rapidly escalating problem required an equally rapid solution.
Closing his eyes, he expanded his mental domain.
As a Megaversal existence, his perception far surpassed ordinary comprehension. The entire world appeared tiny within his awareness.
Mountains became pebbles.
Oceans became puddles.
Continents became insignificant patches of land.
Within seconds, his consciousness spread across every corner of the planet.
Nothing escaped his perception.
The Central Domain appeared clearly before him.
Every secret realm.
Every isolated space concealed from ordinary beings.
All of them were revealed within his mind.
Soon, he located the ten soul beasts that had surpassed ten million years of age.
There were exactly ten of them.
Each occupied a different corner of the world.
Four resided within the Central Continent. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Several others were hidden inside ancient forbidden regions that had remained untouched for countless years.
One of them was even located within the secret world where Alex currently stood.
As he observed them, a new plan rapidly formed inside his mind.
If he could not solve the problem through conventional means, then he would simply create an unconventional solution.
Time was running out.
The creature’s evolution was continuing every second.
And unless Alex acted immediately, the entire world would soon disappear beneath the birth of a newly evolved Hyperversal monster.
