Chapter 1653 Chapter 1471: Final Showdown 1

He had underestimated the devastation caused by the Plane Destruction Bombs.

While Margareth had theoretically calculated the timing, damage, and range of the ensuing void, there was always a disparity between theory and reality. Initially, Alex had intended to swiftly blend into the Chaos fog and escape by teleportation, ensuring their safety from the disaster. But he hadn't anticipated the sheer power of the bombs, which proved to be far greater than expected. Before the teleportation process could complete, the Chaos fog was torn asunder by the relentless void storm, exposing their group, who had been relying on the fog for concealment. Left with no choice, they had to rely on their own legs and run for their lives. To stop now would mean certain death as they would be consumed by the void storm.

It was evident that Lisa and Margareth lacked the physical strength necessary for such an ordeal, which is why Alex carried them around his waist like sacks and sprinted without looking back.

As he fled, Alex couldn't help but ponder if those who had experienced the devastation of the first atomic bomb felt the same way he did in that moment.

Thunder kept striking down as the group tried to escape unable to step across space because it was locked by the terrifying explosion.

Rumble!

Yet another thunderclap. The distant sky turned pitch-black and large patches of space were completely twisted and shattered like a smashed skylight. The void storm overflowed and tinted everything in sight like a deadly poison.

"Haa... Haa... Haa..."

Alex glanced behind him once the ground had stopped trembling. Satisfied that he had distanced himself from the void storm, he flopped onto the ground, his face drained of color, and released his grip on the two young women. Although he hadn't witnessed it himself, Margareth had a clear view of the entire explosion process. Despite her calculations and understanding of the devastating power of the Plane Destruction Bombs, the disparity between the data in her head and the reality was staggering. After witnessing the storm that nearly obliterated the world, she sat on the ground, covered in sweat, unable to support herself on her weakened knees. Her expression turned ashen as she trembled, shaken by the nightmarish scene she had just witnessed. Earlier, when she was held tightly by Alex, she saw the purple lightning bolts forming a chain, relentlessly pursuing her. It felt as though she was being gripped by a monstrous hand, its jaws wide open, ready to consume her. If it hadn't been for Alex transforming into a lightning bolt and speeding past, she might never have seen the sky again.

Within moments, its enraged roar echoed through the sky.

"Do you really think you can vanquish me with your feeble tricks? Pathetic worms! Prepare to meet your doom!"

A monstrous shadow detaches itself from the storm clouds, revealing a colossal dragon the color of a moonless night. Its scales, the size of dinner plates, shimmer with an oily sheen, catching the occasional glint of lightning. Each powerful leg could crush a house with a single step, and its claws, tipped with obsidian points, scrape the very ground as it lands.

Leathery wings, as wide as a galleon, unfurl with a sound like thunder. Razor-sharp spines run along its back, and a crest of wicked horns adorns its head. Smoke curls from its nostrils, mingling with the storm's fury. Yellow eyes, like molten lava, pierce the gloom, radiating an ancient and terrifying intelligence. Its breath, visible even in the dim light, could be a plume of searing flame or a wave of noxious gas, depending on the dragon's mood.

The very air crackles with the dragon's presence, a tangible sense of power that evokes both awe and terror. It is a creature of legend, a living embodiment of night and storm, a sight that would send shivers down the spine of even the bravest warrior.

As Bahamut's enraged clone stood before him, Alex rose from his seat and brushed off the dirt from his attire.

"Tell everyone to prepare themselves and take him down!" he commanded.

"Absolutely, Leader! I've been eagerly waiting for this day for years! It's time to show that reptile what we're truly capable of!" replied his loyal comrade.

Upon hearing Alex's words, Maggie immediately jumped to her feet, fists raised high in the air, and let out a triumphant cheer. Scarlet remained silent, but the fiery twin blades she held in her outstretched arms made it clear that she fully supported the decision. Little Blue approached Alex, clutching a magnificent longbow in her hands, her gaze fixed on the menacing dragon. She then turned to Alex and asked,

"Big Brother, should I release my arrow now?"

And so, the momentous battle between these two adversaries was about to commence. The Final showdown was about to begin.
