Alex land on the ground with a small tub. He looked around and noticed the mess he had created. The mountain range that was nearly eight thousand kilometers are no where to be seen. And even bigger area of more than hundred thousand kilometers now lay barren and heated.
It looked like volcanic region. A smile involuntarily spread across Alex's face.
"Yeaaaa babyyyy!! That's how you flex power. What if I can't shot fire ball from my hands? I'm still thousand times cooler!! Buaahahah"
Alex laughed heartily. Hands on hips. Head tilted back. Feeling smug. He had felt inferior to his brother of the same genre before because he couldn't remember what anime he reincarnated into. But now he felt far more superior!
They start messed-up with no power! Grinding, getting played is something all the novel transmigration protagonist face. But he came in with endgame power skipping all the grinding and troubles!
He even one-shoted a boss monster!!
Who won't feel smug about that!?
But his smugness didn't last long as he heard clouds rumbling. He opened his eyes and saw the moon slowly getting covered dark clouds. Obscuring the view.
"... I shouldn't have said that..."
The smugness from Alex's face has disappeared with an annoyed but tired expression like he had dealt with situations like these before.
He turned back saw black particles going up and gathering in one place. The clouds spiraled above the black sphare.
Behind Alex, the sound of sound barrier breaking rang out and few moments later Preganos landed beside him. He was fully covered in his black battle suit. Looking at it, Alex didn't feel as much jealous as before because he now knows he can do cooler stuff.
Preganos's helmet folded itself back. He looked at the spare that was glowing and pulsing with a frown and emotions Alex couldn't understand.
Preganos slowly tore his gaze from the spare as if reluctant. He looked at Alex with a serious expression, unlike his usual wise old man expression.
"Alexander, can you do me a favour and pin down Archbishop Kha so he doesn't run away or move?"
Alex looked at the spare then at Preganos. He could smell some history but Alex noticed the firm conviction of Preganos in the fact that the Kha guy will revive.
"You can see many things can't you...?"
Alex said with a brows raised. He felt that this old man was some Overpowered vision but he could not prove it!
Preganos didn't answer. Waiting for Alex's response with the same expression.
"Well, I can definitely help but old man Pregnant can you give me some comfortable clothes that won't get destroyed?"
Alex said as he looked up to the sphare. It was now pulsing violently and making sounds like heart bit.
"I definitely can. And my name is Preganos not Pregnant."
Preganos said as he took out a set of clothes from a blue, crystalline cude that appeared out of nowhere.
"Eh? Oh! OH! OOHHHHHHH!! I seeeee!! I was wondering what kind of parents would name their child Pregnant!! So it was Preganos!! Sorry old man! I really didn't think this through!!"
Alex said as he wore the adjustable two piece clothes.
"It happens. People makes mistakes. But let's take care of that shall we?"
Preganos said as he looked back at the sphare, steady and pulsing rhythmically. The vortex of clouds above stopped rumbling as well.
A defining silence fell. As if the world itself held their breath.
'Bruh. Quick with the dramatic effects. Just spawn in already. Your going to be yeeted out of existence anyway...'
Alex thought with a mildly annoyed expression.
Crack-!!
At the moment, the sphare emitted countless white tenderloins with a thundercrack. The tenderloins looked as if they have intched themselves into the very space as they didn't move.
"Doesn't that... kinda look like human nervous system...?"
Alex murmured, unsure.
The sphare then glowed gently and filled the tenderloins with white light.
Wobble-!
Then with another pulse, white light spread and Alex could clearly see skeleton forming slowly, starting from the sphare and slowly extending outwards. Flesh and other internal organs followed suit.
"Hey, old man. Can't we just destroy that thing rather then just wait like idiots?"
Alex whispered to Preganos. Preganos didn't turn back and said,
"You can't destroy it. No matter how many time you punch that thing, it will just form again because he has the blessing of the Desert God of Chaos and Plunder, Akdirk."
"Then why don't you do it? Since you're so confident that you can if I hold him down?"
Preganos finally turned to Alex, stared into his eyes, Alex held firm and didn't look away. Few seconds later, Preganos sighed and looked ahead again.
"I have some things I need to settle..."
Hearing that, Alex didn't prese further. He looked up again and the Kha guy had full formed.
Archbishop Kha slowly opened. The air trembled as dark energy started to coil around his body, it pressed a stitched together. Forming clothes over Archbishop Kha's body. His eyes fixed on Preganos.
Cold and murderous glint passed by. Then he looked at Alex how was looked at him like he was some kind of clown performing in circus.
Rage filled his heart thinking hiw easily he had been killed. But he controlled because No matter how much the boy tried, he couldn't kill him.
"Preganos. Your living well I see. Even recruited such a strong lap dog? Haha~... truly. Luck sides with you..."
Archbishop said with a threatening voice. Although Alex was called a lap dog, he didn't act. He had heard worse. Besides, he was curious about the story of these two.
"Kha... why did you take that path? Was that truly necessary?"
Preganos asked with a guilt written troubled expression.
"Necessary...? Hahaha... NECESSARY YOU SAY!? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU TOOK FROM ME THAT DAY!? HUH!? NO YOU DON'T!!"
Preganos's question triggered Kha for some reason. Preganos sighed and shook his head. Alex figured he probably saw the future because Preganos's eyes glowed golden for a moment and saw in the future that it was probably futile attempt to talk to Kha.
"Alexander. Please."
Preganos gestured Alex to act. Alex gazed at Preganos's face before making his move. He looked at the Archbishop Kha in the air with narrowed eyes. The Archbishop tried to hastily erect some barriers when he saw Alex move.
Alex vanished from his spot and appeared below the Archbishop, grabbed his leg and hurled him to the ground. The Archbishop crashed into the ground like a meteor. He got logged into the sand and it shot out like a wave, creating a small crater.
Archbishop tried to merch forward but Alex appeared behind him and locked him with rear body lock.
"ARRRGGGHHHH!!! LEAVE ME BASTERD!! LET GO OFF ME!! I WILL KILL THAT TRAITOROUS BASTERD!!"
Archbishop thrashed heavily. Trying to break free. He used his darkness energy to attack Alex and he took it with a bored expression.
Kha tried kicking, moving and every trick he knows to get away. Even tried to call in some sand monsters but nothing appeared. Probably they got scared and ran away with all the shaking and explosions.
"Haaaaa~~ I'm sorry my friend. You are totally consumed by the Chaos of Akdirk. Let me free you from all your rage and suffering."
Preganos said softly. Kha didn't take it well.
"FREE ME!? YOUR GOING TO KILL ME YOU BASTERD!! STOP YOUR HYPOCRISY!! YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE!! YOU WERE!! EVEN BACK THEN!!"
Kha shouted. Saliva dropping from his gritted teeth. Eyes bloodshot. Breathing heavy.
Preganos didn't respond. He just clasped his hands together and closed his eyes. Golden light started to emitted from him. He flew up slowly. Preganos stopped flowing up and stayed suspended mid air.
~ER~
Preganos said, his voice echoing from everywhere. He lifted his left hand. His palm vertical.
~OV~
His voice rang out again. Preganos moved his lifted hand to the side slowly. A golden mirage of Preganos's hand stayed. He stopped when his hand took 'L' shape.
The golden light around Preganos intensified and a beam of light shot to the sky. A gentle wave if gold rippled on the dark clouds above.
"BASTERD!! LET ME GO!! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOUR WORKING FOR!? THAT TRAITOR IS A HYPOCRITE WHO WON'T HASITATE TO GET RID OF YOU!! JUST LIKE HOW HE DID WITH ME!! I SURVED UNDER HIM FOR 10,000 YEARS!!! YET HE COULDN'T EVEN SAVE MY FAMILY WHEN NEEDED!! HE SACRIFICED THEM!! AND TOLD EVERYONE IT WAS FOR THE SAKE OF THE CITY!! HE DIDN'T EVEN ADMIT HIS MISTAKES!! DO YOU REALLY WANT TO WORK FOR A BASTERD LIKE THAT!?"
Kha screamed at top of his lungs. Desperation and panic showing. Alex watched Preganos's spectacle with neutral expression. He didn't comment on Kha's comments.
~SR~
Preganos did the same motion with his right hand. Golden light started to gather at the vortex above Alex and Kha's head. Seeing this, Kha became even more agitated. His expression full of panic.
~BE~
Preganos's hand moved again. The golden light gathered and formed a line.
Everything went silent. Air still in tension.
Preganos retreated his hand leaving behind a mirage of both hands and clasped them again. Bringing the infront of his mouth.
Preganos paused for a second and slowly opened his eyes. The line the sky parted as wrll, revealing a massive golden eye exuding terrifying pressure that made Kha go crazy.
~Observer's Punishment~
SHHHHAAAAA-!!
Preganos said softly and golden beam of light shot from it, towards Alex and Archbishop Kha and hit them.
"GUUAARRHHHRHHHAAAAA!!!!
Archbishop Kha's pained scream rang out. His body burning.
"CURSE YOU PREGA-!!"
Before Kha could finish he fully turned to ashes. The beam slowly disappeared. The eye in the sky and the hand mirages behind Preganos disappeared. He landed slowly.
Alex stood where the beam had hit. He was completely fine. He looked at his clothes and was astonished to find his clothes were perfectly fine!
"Good stuff..."
Alex dusted off Kha's ashes off of his clothes.
Preganos sighed in relief and slight bread seeing Alex completely fine.
Alex murmured and noticed Preganos walking towards him with his usual calm smile. Hands behind his back. Walking slightly hunched forward.
"Are you Okay Alexander?"
Preganos asked in concern. Alex walked out of the small crater where the sand has turned into glass from the intense heat and stood by Preganos. Both looking at the north, sun slowly rising. Illuminating the already warm Sea Desert with its warm light.
"Alexander. Do you think I'm evil?"
Preganos asked without looking away from the sun.
