Speed Is King

391 Another Present

Wild Energy Blytoros looked like a wild man.

His long black hair which was previously tied neatly had turned completely red and was flying all over the place.

His powerful physique which was covered in luxurious black robes inlaid with golden runes had turned rather thin His black robes had disappeared and his body was instead covered by a red mist of sorts.

His black eyes were also completely red at that moment.

Everything about him was red instead of black, and everything about him screamed "DANGER!!"

And at that moment, he was exploding forth with great speed towards the hundred pairs of clones to "devour" them!ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Noᴠel Fɪre.net

Elliot and Elise Sands came to the same conclusion instantly.

If that Wild Energy Blytoros was able to somehow combine Elliot, Elise and Blytoros into one entity, then he would definitely be completely unstoppable! He would rise instantly to the peak of power within the Shadow Realm and also the Main Realm!

"RETURN!" Elliot roared and immediately, all of their clones winked out of their positions.

And because of that, they also instantly lost sight of the Wild Energy Blytoros.

A grim silence had fallen upon the original pair.

They were both completely floored.

For the past few hours, they were on cloud nine, achieving the completely unthinkable by successfully cloning so many versions of themselves, and succeeding in doing so many of their objectives.

Destroying the powerful Shadow Realm base.

Killing Blytoros.

Killing Octopus Banshee God.

Their confidence level had soared and deep within their hearts, they had relaxed. With their overwhelming strength, complete victory was only a matter of time!

But now, an enemy that could crush FIVE of them in an instant had appeared. And not only that, it was an enemy that only spent a few seconds absorbing something from Blytoros, and within minutes, was already stronger than the original Blytoros!

And to make things worse... They didn't know how many of such insane devourers existed in the Wild Space that was so, so much bigger than their known universe!

All thoughts of complete victory evaporated like a drop of water before a wide open blast furnace.

Once again, they were violently flung into a desperate situation.

They had to kill the Wild Energy Blytoros quickly, but they couldn't use their most powerful attack in fear that their nuclear explosions could rip more cracks that led to the Wild Space open, and invite more devourers through.

What could they do?

"I need to get stronger." Elliot said very simply. "I need to break into Emperor, Hegemon and all the way to Saint level. And I need the rest of Jessica's runes."

Elliot was no stranger to such drastic swings in situation.

He simply reverted to his previous mindset, and once again, his razor sharp focus returned.

Nothing had changed.

 He was still the underdog, and he was still desperately short on power even if he had risen to the very peak of strength in the known universe.

In fact, his situation was much worse than he was before!

Previously, the stakes were only his family and his planet.

Now, his entire universe was at risk of annihilation!

If the Wild Energy Blytoros was to enter their Realm, it would probably devour everything!

And so much about that Wild Energy Blytoros was unknown.

Does it reproduce? How does it reproduce? How quickly?

Can it open up portals to Wild Space and invite more of its 'kind' over?

What sort of power does it control? How could it destroy five of their clones so easily?

It was a brand new universe-grade threat that had appeared, and one which was a direct consequence of Elliot's actions.

Elliot sighed deeply. He should have listened to Gilgamar.

Thankfully, Gilgamar seemed to sense his distress, and did not say "I told you so" even though it was probably dying to say it.

"Good. That's exactly what we must do. We cannot despair, we cannot lose hope!

First, send out your drones and see if we can keep an eye on them." Elise Sands said.

Elliot nodded, and ordered Red to send out more drones to Wild Energy Blytoros' location.

"Let's hope he doesn't detect them and destroy them." Elliot muttered.

"He won't. I will shield them with stealth energy." Elise Sands said confidently.

Within seconds, the video feed on Wild Energy Blytoros came to life.

"Excellent. Red, make sure you don't lose sight of him." Elliot commanded.

"Secondly, let me help you break through. After living for so long, I have ground to appreciate the many benefits a good, solid foundation brings, and I have many more insights on how to make this so-called "River of Runes". As a matter of fact, I do not think we should form a "River" at all! But let me get her here first." Elise Sands sliced at the air and immediately opened a portal to where Jessica Sands and the others were.

"- will be the STRONGEST TO EVER LIVE! MWA HA HA HA HA!!" Jessica Sands was laughing slightly maniacally when the portal opened.

"Who will be the strongest to ever live?" Elise Sands asked as the portal widened to reveal Jessica Sands, Monkey King and Jul'Taras sitting around a round table full of information pads, a main server and even traditional paper and pen.

"Great Grandma! What brings you here? Huh? Is that Elliot? HEY ELLIOT! I'VE GOT A PRESENT FOR YOU!" Jessica Sands yelled.

"Elliot, Elliot Elliot. All you care about is Elliot! Presents for Elliot all the time! What about me, huh? Have you forgotten about me?" Elise Sands glared at Jessica Sands.

"Hee hee! Great Grandma, you're already so powerful, you don't need my little trinkets at all! Why bother with the toys that little kids tinker with? Hee hee!" Jessica Sands tried to laugh her way out of it.

But of course Elise Sands wouldn't have any of it. She stretched out her hand and immediately demanded to see the "present" that she had for Elliot.
