Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 490 Summon the Emperor!

"SOLDIERS, MAKE SURE THAT THE CLONE AND THE RESEARCHER WILL NOT ESCAPE! THEY ARE-"

***************

[[[TIME LEFT UNTIL EMPEROR LITCH ARRRIVES: 10 SECONDS]]]

[[[TIME LEFT UNTIL SIERRA SUCCEEDS ON POSSESSION: 15 MINUTES 25 SECONDS]]]

Alex, who spent the last 5 seconds on surfing on his past memories, was currently in a daze. His awareness was not as sharp as it was before, making him look like a ghost with no personality at all.

Alex lost track of everything around him, as his mind was fully preoccupied with observing his past. Even when Golden Alex began shouting to him with various curses, Alex still did not budge.

It was only when Golden Alex began slapping himself that Alex was roused from his daydream.

"Pa pa pa!"

The pain of these slaps allowed Alex to break free from his memories, which brought him back to the present time.

"Alex, now is not the time to reminisce about the past! It’s your time to battle, so keep your wits where it should be!" Golden Alex, whose face was slightly ashen from what just happened to Alex, angrily said as he rubbed his now reddened cheeks. "Tsk, of all the times that you can be sentimental, why are you doing it now? You should just reserve on doing this for later!"

"...I’m sorry about that. I just could not help but remember what happened to me before." Alex, who had now regained his clarity, sullenly replied as he let out a sigh. "It’s just hard to ignore my past, especially when my number 1 enemy is about to arrive. My whole past is tied to Emperor Litch, you know? There’s just no way that I can ignore my history once I start fighting him..."

"I know, I know, original. You don’t need to explain yourself anymore." Golden Alex said as he raised his hands. "Since you are back to the right time, why don’t you just prepare for the Emperor’s arrival? That’s what you came here after all..."

"Krakathoom!"

Right after Golden Alex gave this reminder, a dreadful aura, reminiscent of that of a malicious ritual, began to emanate on the whole area. This was accompanied by the release of a thunder-like sound, which was heard by almost everyone in the world.

"Krakathoom!"

As they heard this sound, Golden Alex did not waste time as he began tensing himself, as he and Alex knew what was about to happen next.

Sure enough, when Golden Alex looked at the direction of the descending palm, he saw what Alex had expected to see.

A summoning portal, which was only the size of a person, was currently floating on top of the Summoner Supreme Puppet, with its edges glinting like the rising sun.

Globules of what looked like to be golden liquid continuously flowed out of the edges of the portals, making it have a majestic, yet somewhat rustic look.

This summoning portal was the source of the dreadful aura and the thunder-like sound from earlier, which seemed to be increasing as time passed by.

The surface of the portal’s body, which was the passageway for what was supposed to come out of it, was currently rippling like the waves on a storm-ridden sea.

This rippling indicated that the portal was extremely unstable, and if something passes through it right now, the portal will inevitably collapse.

Golden Alex let out a disappointed ’tsk’ as he saw this ripples, with his disappointment seemingly directed towards the Summoner Supreme Puppet.

"Tsk, the most important skill that a Summoner should have is the ability to create a STABLE summoning portal! If you can’t make one, then your summoning will fail!" Golden Alex muttered as he looked at the portal with derision. He seemed to have forgotten the real purpose of this portal, as his attention was now focused on berating the Summoner Supreme Puppet.

"When I saw your cool moves earlier, I thought that you are the real deal! But with a summoning portal like that? Girl, not even a chicken can cross through that alive! Why don’t you just-"

"For the Emperor!" The three Supreme Puppets, who were still standing on the path of the descending palm, shouted these three words with intense zealotry as their orifices began to bleed.

They were ignoring everything that was happening around them, and this included the insults that Golden Alex just said.

"Glu glu glu..."

All the blood that came out of their bodies quickly clumped altogether, forming a scarlet blood bead around the size of a human head. This blood bead looked exactly just like a red bowling ball, except for the fact that it does not have any holes.

The blood bead’s vibrant red color, coupled with the frightening life-force inside it, made it a high-class treasure that was enough to incite greed to the powerhouses that saw it.

None of them however made a move to grab the still-growing blood bead, as each one of them knew that doing so will just incur the wrath of the Supreme Puppets. Besides, the blood bead was also in the path of the descending palm; there’s no way that they will grab the blood bead in a situation like this.

"..."

Once the blood bead has fully formed, the three Supreme Puppets began to sway in their place, with their pale faces staring at the blood bead with awe.

The Supreme Puppets’ act of giving out blood seemed to have reduced their power, as everyone could feel the power of the Supreme Puppets regressing at a drastic rate.

In Golden Alex’s estimation, each of the Supreme Puppets are now just as strong as Peak Fifth Stage Practitioners, a level of power that is of no problem to him at all.

"Shua!"

Once there was no more blood fed to it, the blood bead was grabbed by the Summoner Supreme Puppet. She cradled it like a baby for a second, before she threw it towards her summoning portal!

"With the Life Essence of your servants, I, the Arcane Summoner Eris, implore you, o Great Emperor Litch to come!" The Summoner Supreme Puppet shouted this chant as the summoning portal ’swallowed’ the blood bead. "With our blood as your guide, allow us to connect with you!"

"Krakathoom!"

Another thunderous sound was released by the summoning portal as the blood bead inside it began to explode.

This explosion, which was akin to that of a bomb, immediately shattered the rippling surface of the portal. Like a mirror that was hit by a punch, cracks began to cover the whole surface of the portal, with the energy from the explosion leaking like water from these cracks.

This leakage should have reduced the damage caused by the explosion on the portal, but before it could even start healing itself, another Blood Bead was suddenly thrown at the portal.

"Ha!"

This blood bead came from the direction of the three Supreme Puppets, who at this point had their strengths regressed to that of Peak Fourth Stage Beings.

There was no doubt that they have created another Blood Bead from their own life force, which led to them having their strengths reduced once more.

"Krakathoom!"

The explosion this time did not allow the portal’ s surface to stay intact anymore.

Shards of the portal’s surface were ejected outwards like a cannon, leaving nothing on the portal’s surface but an empty, gaping hole.

This destruction caused another bout of damage on the Summoner Supreme Puppet, who was now vomiting her insides. She seemed to be heavily affected by the destruction of the portal’s surface, although there were no signs of worry on her face as she continued on vomiting.

"With my sacrifice of my power, I created a path for you to descend! Now, enter this world and display your might, o Great Emperor Litch!"
