DEVIANT

167 Chapter 167: Golden statue

“Crazy dude” Alex laughed lightly as he put on some shorts and couldn’t help but think how amazing things would be if Damon Briggs is here. Their family will finally be complete.

“Hey...” Tracy said as she stood at the door, gaining Alex’s attention.

She couldn’t look him in the eyes as she held his jacket and face mask, leaving Alex confused. Only after thinking about it for a while did he realize what was wrong.

He had already forgotten they had a fight back then. He quickly contemplated on what to do and just decided to send her off. Although he loved her, if he lets her off the hook easily each time something like this happens, then it will occur more often.

He also needed time alone. Tracy can be clingy and right now he needed to improve his strength. His silver body was on the brink of a major breakthrough.

“What do you want?” Alex said in a dry tone as he pulled out a shirt to wear.

His face was cold as usual, making Tracy lower her head even more.

“I came to return these...” She stretched out her hands holding the black jacket and face mask.

Alex walked towards her and took it from her causally. His face showed no emotions when he stood in front of her, holding the door.

.....

“I’m sorry... I don’t want you to hate me” Tracy said in a low tone that shook Alex’s heart but his face remained the same.

“I don’t hate you... I just need some time to get my head straight. So many things have happened in a short time... can you do that for me?” Alex asked in a calm tone which brightened up Tracy’s face.

“I guess I can...” She said before leaving.

Alex shut the door and locked it as he put the jacket on his face. Tracy’s fragrance was all over it so he greedily took it in without hesitation.

“I miss her but there are things more important now...” Alex said.

........

“I told you he’s not a bad guy...” Silver said as they watched Alex through the security cam.

“I guess... I also like how he knows what comes first. As much as I love my little Tracy, she can’t save the world. He handled the situation well” Danny Ainsworth said calmly.

“So where are we going now?” Silver asked. He didn’t want to believe the Tyrant gang was just traveling the Sahara desert for fun.

“We found the location of a major sealed artifact here... not just us but the major powers in the world are getting involved. It will be hard to contest for it with them” Danny said with a frown.

“What sealed artifact?” Silver asked excitedly.

“We won’t know until we see it. By the way, there is no database on sealed artifacts.” Danny laughed.

“We are going against the world then” Silver said thoughtfully. He didn’t seem afraid though.

“It’s us against the world little bro. Just like we always said when we were little.” Danny said while he played with Silver’s hair.

Silver didn’t stop him, instead, he laughed childishly.

“Each major party in the Tyrant gang has an army of their own. I’m guessing the Pillar, Mr. Blade show as killed was a fake created by your mirror power. Also, what are your forces made of since you don’t use the tyrant gang goons?” Silver asked.

“Yes, Mr. Blade is still alive. As for my army? They are below in the storage room. A combination of my two successful experiments” Danny said.

“Controlled Losts and Enhancer prototypes? Scary... now I understand how those beast gears could be replicated.... Your mirror power is quite overhyped... probably one of the strongest deviant abilities that can be found in this world” Silver said thoughtfully.

“Yea, but it requires a lot of power to use, that’s why it’s my trump card” Danny didn’t deny how awesome his ability is.

...........

For the next few days, Alex remained indoors with everything around him. He was seated in a cross-legged position as his body remained as still as a statue. His entire body was completely Silver and for days he was yet to move. His right hand was placed on the massive crystal core and power could be clearly seen passing through his body.

Little beast just sat on the bed gazing at him intently. It only left the room when it felt like eating but apart from that, the entire time was dedicated to watching Alex.

“is he still breathing?” Even Kung Jun was stunned by the condition Alec was in.

Danny frowned. He has never seen anyone practice a growth-type secret technique which is considered a military secret too. They call it comes from the aliens too but no one has ever been able to practice on to a profound level that’s why he felt disturbed.

He didn’t know much about it so he couldn’t offer comments or advice on it.

“I don’t know” Danny said

“He’s okay... his life force seems to be growing too... Once he emerges from this state, Alex will most likely have the power to match an S-rated guardian.” Silver said in a serious tone.

Another week passed and numerous golden cracks were found on Alex’s body. And two more weeks passed but there were no other changes. But after a month a loud cracking could be heard as the powerful aura surged within the black base, drawing the attention of the other tyrant gang leaders in other vehicles!

“That Ainsworth brat got an S rated backer? He is growing stronger than I expected” A bald man with a scar across his left eye said.

“Another S-rated individual has joined his team? This will be troublesome”

“Aura materialization! The S-rated master must have awakened the aura materialization! Could it be Alex Briggs? Impossible, he was clearly an A-rated deviant not too long ago! How is he growing so fast?”

Numerous factions within the Tyrant gang talked on the matter. They all felt restless by Danny’s growth and his ability to get capable allies.
