He raised his right hand and then fiercely smashed it towards Alex''s head. Alex merely nced at him, then extended his own right hand to block the attack. Crack—a crisp sound echoed, particrly piercing in the quiet wilderness, leaving the golden skeleton stunned.
How could this be possible? His bones were specially modified, exceptionally hard, impervious even to bullets, yet now they were being bent by bare hands? Disbelieving, he swung his fist again, smashing it hard towards Alex''s chest.
Alex didn''t even bother to dodge, letting the skeleton''s fist hit him directly. Boom—a tremendous force shook Alex''s frame, yet a sinister smile crept across his lips. The golden skeleton screamed in pain, clutching his fist as he staggered back a considerable distance. He looked at his fist in disbelief, bloodied andpletely shattered.
What on earth was this guy''s body made of? It was as if it was impervious to des and bullets! "Do you still want to continue?" Alex asked, his tone mocking as he looked at the golden skeleton.
A shiver ran through the golden skeleton, sensing the thick sarcasm in Alex''s expression. How dare this man mock him? This was an absolute disgrace! His eyes bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and red at Alex: "I''m going to kill you!"
With that, he charged forward, all out. Alex shook his head, effortlessly dodging the attack, and then kicked him in the stomach. Thump—a muffled sound spread all around as the golden skeleton flew backward like a cannonball, then crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Cough... pfft..."
A mouthful of clotted blood spat out, and the golden skeleton''s eyes dimmed. He had lost! And he had lost thoroughly; his opponent was not someone he could contend with!
"Who exactly are you?" He struggled to prop himself up into a sitting position, then looked up at Alex and asked.
"Me? I''m the enemy you''ve been talking about," Alex snorted coldly, then began walking towards the golden skeleton.
Upon hearing this, the golden skeleton''s pupils contracted, and he felt a sense of fear he hadn''t experienced before. "Take me to yourmander," Alexmanded unexpectedly. Instead of finishing off the skeleton, he spoke in a cold, detached tone. He didn''t want to waste energy on these minions; he wanted to meet theirmander.
"Okay, okay!" The golden skeleton swallowed nervously, then answered with a trembling voice. This man was too dangerous; he was out of his league!
...
Inside the castle, the lighting was dim and the atmosphere oppressively heavy. Led by the golden skeleton, Alex walked further into the interior. The castle was vast and filled with unknowns, its decor highly technological, far surpassing the technology of this era.
"Are you surprised?" The golden skeleton looked at Alex, who remained silent and unresponsive. However, Alex ignored him and kept walking forward, his instincts telling him that just a bit further, he would meet the person he wanted to see.
Sure enough, after about ten meters, a halo of light suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a 3D holographic projection of a person. Alex narrowed his eyes at this figure, then slowly spoke.
"So, you are themander of this base!"
The 3D holographic figure turned its head to nce at Alex, then calmly spoke, "Yes, I am themander of this base. Who might you be?"
"Don''t worry about who I am for now. You have two choices," Alex replied, his expression cold and his gaze sharp, radiating an intense aura of menace. As he spoke, the golden skeleton trembled in fear at the sheer terror of his presence.
"Oh? And what are those two choices?" Themander looked at Alex, his interest piqued.
"Surrender or be destroyed," Alex stated coldly, his eyes zing like twin mes, intimidating to behold.
"Ha ha, you are quite the peculiar one!" "But, I like your confident attitude," themander responded,ughing heartily. He had lived for hundreds of years and had never encountered someone as audacious as Alex.
Alex frowned slightly, observing themander. These people''s technology was far superior to theirs, likely from some extraterrestrial civilization. "I''m curious, what are you doing here?" Alex asked, his eyes filled with murderous intent, which only elicited a light chuckle from themander.
"I admire your courage, but killing you would be as easy as flipping a hand," themander replied.
"Oh? Is that so?" Alex''s lips curled into a sinister smile, and he clenched his fists tightly. No sooner had he spoken than five or six golden skeletons stepped forward.
"Now, I offer you the same choices: submit or be destroyed," themander said arrogantly, his tone dripping with smugness.
After all, with his strength, dealing with this arrogant fool was a matter of minutes.
"You''re going to die a horrible death!" Alex looked at the several golden skeletons, then shed a grin as he suddenly kicked out his right leg.
Swoosh—
The sound of air tearing suddenly echoed, his kick so swift that it left an afterimage in mid-air.
Bang!
Apanied by a crisp impact sound, the foremost golden skeleton was kicked into pieces, disintegrating into a cloud of bone dust.
"How can this be..."
The remaining four golden skeletons panicked and hastily retreated. But would Alex let this opportunity slip by?
Bang, bang, bang!
He moved like a tank, rolling over them, and in just a few seconds, he had crushed the remaining four golden skeletons into dust. Although the golden skeletons had strong defenses, they were no match for Alex.
Seeing his four subordinates so easily killed, themander grew fearful. "Since you''re so powerful, why don''t we coborate? We can share dominion over this, half each?"
When Alex heard this, he burst outughing. Avril, standing behind him, joined in theughter. "The dominion of this has long been our king''s. Who are you to speak of such things?" Avril''s cold voice rang out, infuriating themander to the point of gnashing his teeth.
He had never expected to be so humiliated here. However, he quickly adjusted his mindset. "Heh, you think you''ve already won? You might not know, but behind us, there is an endless army!"
"If that weren''t the case, we wouldn''t dare toe and negotiate with you."
