"…"

Newton's Ultimate Chemical proved its mettle as a great vessel of destruction. Despite hearing much about this Elementalist already and knowing him from his previous life, Legolas still didn't expect this.

Even in Dominator, Uranium was still a destructive menace of energy when properly harnessed, Newton harnessing its power in a chemical was crazy.

Despite the power that Newton showed after making use of the Atomic Acid and despite the incredible moment of Hellfire Mountains imploding on itself, this was still not the real reason why Legolas was speechless.

Whoo…!

A loud hollow sound reverberated in the air.

Towards the sea, the tsunami was already picking speed!

An unprecedented tsunami with waves that towered as high as a kilometer moved forward with even more unprecedented speed. This tsunami seemed to have the intent of finishing the destructive work left by the volcanic eruption.

The visual spectacle of so much water at such a ridiculous height rushing from afar with speed was crazy, but this was still not the reason for Legolas's silence, the reason was something else entirely.

"I am the real Clown!"

Legolas felt goosebumps on hearing these words.

The next moment, he appeared.

Bzzz!

It was a middle-aged man with a hideous face like a humanoid Troll. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

There were 2 prominent scars on his face, making him look more hideous. Despite the grey mask that covered his mouth and nose, the hideousness of his face could still be seen, including the 2 prominent scars.

He looked like a warrior that had gone through a lot.

Donning ominous grey attire, this man held a staff, an Elementalist staff. And from the slight shadows that hovered all around him, without a doubt he was an Elementalist and not just any Elementalist, a Grade C Shadow Elementalist!

On seeing him, most Grade C Superhumans that were still surviving were confused as they had never heard of a Grade C Superhuman who fit this profile.

Since Grade C Superhumans were the peak of power in Planet Darvis and due to their few numbers, there was easy circulation of information at the top, they more or less knew every Superhuman that were at this exalted rank.

While most of the Superhumans displayed this expression, Legolas's sharp and perceptive eyes already detected something else.

'They know something…'

Core Protector Shanks and Newton Barnes himself could not hide the shock on their faces. From all the Grade C Superhumans that were present, these were the only 2 warriors who showed expressions that they knew this warrior.

Despite his current deformities and his hideous face, they recognized him.

"Alexander…?!" Core Protector Shanks muttered with shock on his face.

"…" Newton kept quiet as a terrible frown came over his face.

Unlike the cold and calmer Elementalist, Core Protector Shanks could not hold himself. "Alexander…, is that really you?"

"How the hell are you still alive?!"

"How did you become a super, much less an Elementalist?!"

"How did you become this?!"

Despite hearing the name Alexander, most of the Grade C Superhumans still remained confused as they could not remember a legend with this name.

Far away at a safe distance, Legolas narrowed his eyes as he watched attentively, a lot of things went through his mind.

'Who is this man?'

'He looks so much like the Destroyer of Version 2?'

'But the Destroyer has no relation with Version 1, who is this?!'

Legolas' brain was already working on overdrive to try deducing the situation even as Clown finally turned his head to look at this warrior.

At this moment, this warrior was in agony, his body was no longer his. At this moment, he felt like his consciousness was trapped in a corner of his brain.

His consciousness fought with the invading authority of the A.I chip.

The agony left him in unbearable pain. 'Ahh…'

'Is this what my test subjects suffer after I implant my chips?'

The feeling of agony left even him in shock.

In extreme pain, he inclined his head to look at the warrior.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Alexander, the rightful King to rule Planet Darvis since more than 500 years ago".

"…"

As soon as he heard this, Clown made the connections. Unlike others, he was a genius, in his quest to turn his body into the ultimate vessel, he read a lot of books and learned a lot of secrets about the history of Planet Darvis.

About 500 years ago, the history of the Royal Blood Dance was written.

Then, King Robert was the ruler of Planet Darvis. Despite his long and successful reign, when the time came to give the throne to his successor, King Robert broke conventions and refused to let his eldest son rule.

'The best of my children will get to rule in my stead'.

'Let them compete, and let the best rule'.

This set-up was in complete favor of his last son, Roland.

Widely seen as the most exceptional of all the Princes, Roland was gifted and was extremely versatile. His combat abilities may not be the best, but his leadership qualities and intelligence were topnotch, he was Robert's favorite.

Coincidentally, Robert's competition was slanted towards intelligence and leadership qualities more. Inevitably, Prince Roland won by a landslide.

A week later, a coronation ceremony was held as Robert stepped down from the throne, allowing his youngest son to step into the throne as King.

On that fateful day, a rebellion took place.

Led by Alexander, the King's eldest son, battle took place in the palace. A lot of people died, Alexander's Champion Protector killed a lot of opposing warriors but in the end, he was killed by a rising genius, the Young Beast Shanks.

On that day, after Alexander and his fellow rebels were exiled, Shanks became the Royal Protector of King Roland.

Since that day, no one heard of Alexander again.

Most thought that he was already dead, they never expected this old man to live through centuries of vendetta and come back alive to haunt humanity.

"…" Clown was speechless, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing the look on his eyes, Alexander cackled maniacally again and it was even more horrifying this time with his hideous face added to the mix.

With difficulty, Clown asked. "Why are you doing this to me?"

For some reason, perhaps to validate his decisions, perhaps due to his pressing want to converse with other Planet Darvis citizens after centuries of solitude, Alexander was content with not acting immediately and rather answering.

"Norman, this is nothing personal".

"You being here is simply a crooked twist of fate".

"Seriously, anyone talented enough should have been ok but to me, you are the perfect test subject".

"…" Norman shuddered as he was referred to with this sensitive term.

"You are just one part of the cogs in my plan".

"My plans started exactly 500 years ago, when I first met them…"
