Ever since discovering that burying the bodies of vampires could grant an additional day of life, Alex felt as if he had stumbled upon a new world. In just one month, his lifespan had reached an unimaginable extent. Thus, he became the strongest being in the world. He also erected a monument to his great achievements in this world. He often sat atop that monument, gazing into the distance.
Experience tales at empire
What is the destiny of the strong? Is it to slowly expend their time in this endless river of life? For several months, Alex had been pondering such matters. With his endless life, everything in the world would change. He had no idea what the future might hold. Under his rule, the entire world seemed like a vast prison.
He wanted everyone to live under the rules he had set.
However, even the most beautiful dream must eventually shatter, just like the days of old. Alex ascended to the high platform as usual, looking out at his own planet. It was then that strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the sky. Dark clouds gathered, fierce winds howled, and lightning flashed with thunder.
"What is this..." Alex frowned, feeling these strange occurrences. He did not understand what was happening, and the situation continued for a long time before slowly dissipating.
"What's going on? Could something truly be descending?" Alex wondered. However, he soon thought it absurd. Ruling over thousands of creatures, what could dare to defy his will? Yet, the anomaly was real.
Just as this thought arose in Alex's mind, a deafening roar sounded from the sky. The previously clear sky was torn apart. A huge pillar of light broke through the heavens and struck a certain mountain range. As the light faded, the scenery before Alex's eyes underwent a dramatic transformation.
Alex was startled and quickly dodged. Boom! The massive impact turned the rocks under Alex's feet into powder, and his body jerked violently. "Such speed!" Alex muttered to himself, realizing that after all these years, he had finally encountered a worthy opponent.
The skeleton, wielding its long sword, covered ten meters in a single stride and appeared instantly before Alex. "Get lost!" Alex roared, his fists flying out. The two clashed hundreds of times in an instant, each collision emitting deafening sounds. Alex's fists hit the skeleton's bones as if striking steel, making a clanging noise.
The skeleton completely ignored Alex's attacks, standing firm like a stubborn rock. Even with all his strength, Alex could not move the skeleton at all. "Roar!" The skeleton roared again, swinging its long sword once more.
At this moment, Alex's expression grew serious. It seemed that this world had begun to manifest entities that even he couldn't explain. Alex dared not hold back any longer, unleashing all his power. Punch after punch, Alex continued his onslaught. Finally, seizing an opportunity, he landed a palm strike on the skeleton's chest.
The skeleton grunted and was sent flying backwards. A glint flashed in Alex's eyes as his body turned into a blur, chasing after it. Thump! A dull sound echoed. Alex's palm forcefully landed on the skeleton's spine. Crack, crack—the crisp sound of breaking bones resounded.
The skeleton's body trembled, and it fell straight down, rigid. After dealing with the skeleton, Alex approached it for a closer inspection. He concluded that this planet had been targeted by other civilizations. The thought evoked a complex mix of emotions in Alex—excitement mingled with fear. However, it wasn't exactly fear, just a concern about the unknown species that had appeared.
"It's just as well. I felt this world had lost all its charm. A new crisis might not be such a bad thing for me," Alex muttered to himself. He then relayed this information to the Noah supercomputer.
The Noah supercomputer began to continuously simulate and calculate, attempting to trace the origins of the newcomers based on their approach path. Just as Alex returned to his dwelling, he received news that Keke, who had been in a deep slumber, was finally stirring. Alex felt a premonition that Keke would soon become a valuable ally.
