249 Stay Wicked

“You can talk?” Alex was momentarily dazed but he kept gathering power.

Even when standing against such a massive being in existence, he wasn’t moved. He was caught off guard by the fact that the enemy could speak but that was all there is to it.

If it was fear, that feeling didn’t exist in his mind.

“Do you really wish to go against the green of this world, human?” The flower god asked Alex and he frowned.

He soon realized that more vines were popping out of the ground but this time it was covering the entire surface of the ground. There was practically no space for him to step on below.

Seeing this Alex gritted his teeth in anger!

He miscalculated!

Alex had believed he would be able to deal with the enemy but not without paying a price but he didn’t expect it to be a heavy price.

If the enemy had the quantity of plants under his control as he has shown, even someone like Alex would have to pay serious attention to it. He no longer looked at this foe as someone he can deal with. In fact, thinking back on it, plant based creatures lack quality and replace it with some quantity. Thinking back on the hit he took which dealt massive damage even with his terrifying defense and his new hardened skin after evolution. He couldn’t help but admit he truly overestimated himself. A king-tier beast is not something he can deal with easily with his merger strength from various abilities, dealing with it would be difficult!

.....

If this was an actual king-tier mutant with terrifying strength and not a mere mutant plant with a quantity then that previous hit would have killed him on the spot.

For normal people, this is a fact that can be easily accepted but someone like Alex who spent years and even decades building this strength which he felt extremely proud of, couldn’t wrap his head around the concept.

Him, die without knowing what happened?

Impossible!

No, it’s not impossible. Nothing is impossible, it’s just hard to grasp.

It was a thought Alex didn’t want to dwell on. Just a casual slap from this beast reduced him to a point where he felt the hands of death around him!

“What I think doesn’t matter... Alex Briggs has come to kill you today, not even God can save you” Alex said coldly while gazing at the massive figure. His body released a ripple of white energy which was like a signal for his trusted partner outside the hell cat!

Damnation!

.......

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The ground trembled violently around the academy area of the city as the ground split open and from it, a black and golden seed emerged from the ground and shot into the air! Seeing the seed fly into the sky, Vendetta frowned.

He had a rough idea of what these seeds are after staying here for over a year. The fact that Alex would call on his seed was all they needed to know the fight was far more serious than they expected!

The cherry blossom petals surging from all sides of the realm were soon overpowered by the roots. More roots erupted at a faster rate, at least four times the usual speed.

Cherry’s face turned pale in shock as he suddenly felt incredible pressure looming over him! His cherry blossom petals which he has always been proud of was getting overwhelmed! Even now he couldn’t cut through the roots as easily as before!

“It got stronger!” Cherry muttered with knitted eyebrows as the pressure increased and his cherry blossom petals were pushed to the back!

The roots were already close to the city walls!

“Damn it!” Cherry cursed as he poured out as much power as he could but he couldn’t change the outcome of this battle!

“I will be taking it from here!” A voice echoed in his ears and the next moment he realized Sage was standing beside him with his right hand on his shoulder.

“You should let me deal with these things from now on” Sage said calmly as he gazed at the sea of roots approaching with a stern look.

This city was built atop a power source. A place where not even these roots could grow. If not, the city would have been torn in two from within! Sage could see energy as a transmitter, he could see the massive ball of energy beneath this city and even in the exposed parts was the massive blue meteor, Alex feeds off. While it may be nutritious for these plants, a highly concentrated blue meteor is too powerful for the plants to approach!

“I can hold on a bit longer!” Cherry said with a reddened look on his face.

It was obvious he was putting his all into this, just to keep the enemy at bay.

“You have done enough... everyone has acknowledged your strength already. There is no need for you to harm yourself here for no reason...” Sage didn’t seem in a hurry to take over since he spoke to Cherry calmly.

His voice was slow and his voice calm. He leisurely watched Cherry struggle while he spoke, silently hoping it would be enough to stop this man. As an open minded person, he was not the type to go out of his way to force his decision on others. If Cherry is hell bent on struggling till he dies, Sage is more than willing to stand by the side and watch.

Stay wicked, Always!

That were the words the culture has lived by, be it on earth or another planet, they are still bound by those words.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Cherry’s body convulsed as he spat out a mouthful of blood and was blown away by an incredible force! Seeing this Sage snorted coldly as purple energy exploded from his body and raced forward like a storm!

“GET BACK!”

Those words were spoken lightly but it made the clouds shiver as those words hit the heavens like thunder clouds, shattering the sky!
