Chapter 319 Skeleton
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.
The previously tranquil mountain range was transformed into a sea of fire in an instant. Terrifying roars of beasts echoed between heaven and earth. "Roar!" A thunderous roar suddenly erupted. Along with this sound, the temperature seemed to increase a hundredfold. Alex appeared calm, but the slaves were not faring well.
Both the vampire and human communities seemed to sense something, clutching their heads in agonizing moans.
"Damn, what\'s happening?" Alex cursed under his breath, sensing a strong aura of danger. "Aah!" Screams continued incessantly. Deep in the mountains, within a swamp, a skeleton clad in golden armor stood up. The skeleton was burly, its body glowing red, holding a long sword in its hand. Its eyes were blood-red, and it wore a sinister smile, slowly walking towards Alex.
"Damn, what is this thing?" Alex couldn\'t help but curse, his face extremely grave as he stared intently at the approaching figure. He didn\'t know what these suddenly appearing beings were, but he could tell from their armor that the technology was not of this planet. Or rather, these beings were not from this planet at all.
Now exceptionally strong, although he was not afraid of this individual, if more of them appeared, how would his extraordinary abilities matter?
For the first time in many years, Alex felt a sense of crisis because he knew this skeleton was coming for him. He didn\'t know the name or information of this adversary, and he couldn\'t even make out its features clearly, but he could feel the intense murderous intent emanating from it.
"Human, you will be the first enemy of my eternal kingdom," the skeleton said, grinning, its tone filled with chilling indifference.
"Eternal Kingdom," Alex furrowed his brow upon hearing this unfamiliar name, a name he had never heard before. Since this skeleton had come for him, Alex saw no need for further talk—it was time to fight.
"Come then, let\'s see whether you are mightier or I am superior," Alex said, narrowing his eyes. The skeleton snorted coldly, raising its weapon and fiercely slashing towards Alex. The strike was swift as lightning, sharp and peerless.
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.
