Chapter 105 Chapter 0105: Conflict (2/2)
'She just casually summoned lightning and it's stronger than what I can bring down at my best even after I have quite a bit of time for preparation,' Alex was jealous. But that didn't mean he was scared. He had an infinite reservoir of energy within his ?Inventory? in the Klyntar Soul Dimension and could absorb as much lightning as she could dish out.
Just as the lightning hit Alex, he didn't even flinch and stayed in his spot looking at Jane with an annoyed expression, "Are you done?" He asked.
She sighed, "Fine…" She said, finally relenting, "Get up." She looked at him with narrowed eyes.
Alex smirked and looked deep into her eyes as he slowly got up from his spot.
"Hi, You can call me Alex." He extended his hand to her to help her get up, not really expecting her to grab his hand. But he was surprised when she did grab his hand, only to pull him down again. "Hi, Alex." She smirked, expecting him to fall. She didn't use all of her strength, just enough to make him topple over.
"Well, that's just rude…" He grumbled as he dug his feet into the ground, using tendrils extended from the soles of his feet that dug into the ground to keep him standing. Instead, Jane was the one who ended up getting pulled up.
"So is disturbing a lady when she's resting in her home." Jane looked at him with an annoyed look, mad that she couldn't pull one over on him.
"It was a harmless joke." Alex told her, "I didn't catch your name." He asked.
"Thor." She said.
"Right…" He rolled his eyes.
"What?" She asked with slight vigilance in her tone.
"Nevermind. I think Introductions are in order. I'm Alex, a Klyntar." He noticed Jane's eyes widening a little as she heard his introduction, "I think you're an optimal host for me so I decided to bond with you. Any questions?" He asked.
"Klyntar as in… The Symbiotic life forms that live on planet Klyntar and call themselves Klyntar?" She asked with slight disbelief in her tone.
"Yeah." He agreed.
"I have so many questions…" She seemed to be in disbelief, "And you said that you're bonded with me?"
"Yep."
"I destroyed my house for nothing!" She screamed before swinging her hammer and flying up into the air, instantly crossing Mach speed. Within seconds, she reached the moon of this earth and banged her hammer on the ground, creating a huge crater as large as the grand canyon.
'How frustrated is she with life?' Alex thought as he looked at her wanton destruction of the moon. Not satisfied with one crater as she kept going.
[You all right?] He asked after she seemed to be done with taking her anger out on the poor rock in space, damaging it to the point where it was about to collapse into space debris.
"Yeah… Just annoyed." She said as she rose Hofund and Mjolnir into the air and worded out something obscure that Alex was unable to understand. He could read her lips but couldn't understand what she was saying.
Instantly, a faint glow extended out from Jane's entire body and started repairing the damage that was caused to the moon due to her rampage of annoyance.
'So that's why she was so liberal… Her ability to call upon cosmic energies like this may be related to her leverage on Loki…' Alex conjectured.
Alex couldn't hold himself back from wanting to know more about her and did the next best thing he could, he formed the level 1 bond with her, pricking the back of her neck.
{ ?Status- Host #7?
Name: Jane Foster (Mighty Thor)?
?Bonding Rate: 0%?
?Bonding Level: 1?
?Powers: Low Cosmic Physique (Mjolnir)— Lightning Divinity(Mjolnir)— Bifrost Summon (Hofund)— Cosmic Energy Manipulation (???)?
}
He also added Cosmic Energy Manipulation to her status. He didn't know her source for it, so he just left it empty for now.
"Ow, hey!" Her hand shot up to the back of her neck as she got a hostile look on her face.
[Now, now. Calm down. I'm just deepening the bond with you. It won't harm you in any way.] He told her.
"I don't know if you know this, but there's this thing called permission that you need to ask before doing something like this." Jane admonished him with a frown on her face.
[Is that so…] Alex trailed off.
"Yeah. It's basic decency. And I have a question… Why do you seem so… sentient? As far as I've read in Asgard's records, the Klyntar are symbiotic beings in that they aren't actually fully sentient, they need hosts to find an actual identity. Why are you so different?" She asked, genuinely curious.
[I guess, I'm just built differently.] He said nonchalantly.
"Yeah, that answers a lot of questions…" Jane said sarcastically.
[Anyway, why do you seem so fragile?] He changed the topic.
"What do you mean?" She asked with a slight tremble in her voice.
[It's like you're transformed into a different being. This doesn't seem like your real form.] He asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She suddenly got defensive and shot away from the surface of the just repaired moon, going back to her Earth.
[You know that you can't run away from me, right? I'm technically inside you.] Alex stated.
"Yeah, well whatever." She didn't want to talk about it.
[I'll find out sooner or later, so why are you even hiding it from me?] He asked but she didn't reply so he continued, [You know how the whole symbiote thing works, so why are you even hesitant about this stuff? We'll practically be eternal partners if all goes well, what's a little vulnerability?] He said.
"Can you stop? I don't want to talk about it. End of story." She said as she landed in the ruined remains of her house and looked around before sighing and pulling out her phone from her bedroom which seemed to be relatively undestroyed in this situation.
[How is your bedroom still fine?] He asked, deciding to not delve into her identity stuff for now.
"It's enchanted. I was planning to do my whole house, but as you can see I haven't gotten to it yet." Jane told him, glad that he didn't push further. She looked through her recent and called Loki.
"Loki, my house needs repairs." She told him and hung up.
the point where she trusted the God of Mischief with the rebuilding of her house.
[Isn't he the king of Asgard or something? Is he fine with you ordering him around like this?] He asked, genuinely curious about what kind of leverage she had over Loki. To the point where she trusted the God of Mischief with the rebuilding of her house.
"Oh, that's an amazing story, but I'm not supposed to share the details due to a pact." She told him with an amused chuckle.
[You really don't want to give me any answers, do you?] He asked, annoyed that he wasn't able to get any information from her.
"Since you aren't telling me about you, it's only natural for me to reciprocate." She said with a smirk.
[…Fair enough.] Alex could only shrug.
"Hm?" Jane's nonchalant expression changed into a serious one as she looked up into the sky, "Are you fucking kidding me." She quickly pulled out her phone and texted Loki that she was leaving and expected her house to be completed before she was back in a day or so.
With that, she raised her sword up in the air and summoned the Bifrost.
Meanwhile, Alex was feeling weird right now. He was always used to being in control and Jane was throwing him off his game.
[Do you have something against me?] Alex asked, genuinely confused.
"What do you mean?" Jane asked him as she traveled through the rainbow bridge to her destination.
[I don't know, just the vibe that you give off…] Alex said with a shrug.
"I guess it has to do with the fact that I didn't want to bond with a symbiote and you practically forced the bond on me. Now I can't even get rid of you without creating way too many problems. And that's not mentioning your glaring weakness to heat and sound." Jane wasn't enthusiastic about the bond or the benefit that it provided her.
Alex was tempted to tell her about how he was immune to heat and sound and all that bullshit but decided to say fuck it for now. This was all practically meaningless since Jane was clearly not in the best state right now.
'Forget it…' Alex decided as he took the back seat for a while, examining her Asgardian physique to understand how he could enhance his other hosts.
