5 minutes later…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle continued raging.
Jon Stones was already terribly injured, due to a lack of progress in dealing meaningful damage to the enemy, Newton was already becoming discouraged as his motivation to deal as much damage as possible reduced.
The intensity of the battle started reducing which made the eventual outcome even more lopsided, Giant Norman was still dominating.
Jon Stones was literally the only one still giving his best for this lost cause.
To a lot of the Grade C Superhumans present, this was already a lost cause. Giant Norman was simply too strong, he could not be stopped.
Now, they were simply biding their time for their eventual downfall.
Seeing them like this, Alexander reveled in their misery.
"Hahaha…, Space Peasants…!"
"Surrender and welcome in the rule of Space Lords!"
"Do not die a vain death, live to witness the new era of space knowledge!"
While all these happened in the open, in the dark, a certain calculative and mischievous Summoner started his dark arts of moving behind the scenes.
In no time, he managed to convince his 2 prime targets.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes". Legolas confidently answered.
That was all that Daemon needed, he no longer hesitated.
"Necromancy Ability: Skeleton Wall!"
"Necromancy Ability: Underworld Teleportation!"
Bzzz!
The Skull Necromancer teleported out of this battlefield!
"…"
Seeing how fervently Daemon fought on behalf of his old friend in a bid to rescue him from Alexander's sharp claws, no one expected this Necromancer to suddenly bail out at the last moment.
What they didn't know was that this Necromancer was convinced by someone else into taking that drastic step at this tense moment.
Like the others, Daemon was not blind, he could see the state of the battle. He more than anyone else knew that without a drastic intervention, Alexander already more or less won and his old friend would remain a puppet forever.
Daemon could not allow this but the problem was that he had no solution.
This was the reason why when Legolas came to him, he embraced it.
First, Legolas was no newbie. Despite the fact that he only recently became a Grade C Superhuman, the Sexy Chocolate was well-known within the circle of the Clown Society and Daemon himself was not oblivious.
Having clashed with Legolas and his students once, this warrior had great respect for him, this added to why he was so easily convinced.
'If a drastic turn is going to happen, I can't bank on conventional anymore, only mavericks like the Sexy Chocolate can break this status quo'.
'I don't know how he'll do it, but they're mavericks for a reason'.
The Skull Necromancer irrationally decided to throw his lots behind Legolas, and he was not alone, Legolas was also able to convince someone else.
Legolas also managed to convince the White Flame.
This warrior found it hard to trust Legolas at first but Daemon's unflinching faith in this Summoner added to her reasons of trusting him.
This female warrior was ready to do anything that could increase their chances of success, after suffering Jon Stones' death once, the last thing that she wanted to experience was suffering from his 2nd death.
These 2 Grade C Superhumans teleported out of this battlefield.
As soon as they did, Legolas made his move.
-----
[NEW!] You have activated Special Summoner Ability: Spirit Coordinates!
You have activated Summoner Ability: Beast Plane Summoning!
----
After his breakthrough, Legolas got more than just a meteoric rise in his strength. Though due to the ongoing battle, he had not been able to go through his new status, he was aware that he had access to new abilities.
The Spirit Coordinates enabled him to mark Altan's position in the Spirit Plane, and through this connection, he entered the beast plane.
With the same connection, he was able to change his coordinates in reality to that of Altan's. On coming out of the beast plane through the rainbow bridge, he would appear directly at the other side of Planet Darvis, the South.
He didn't leave alone; he took Christensen and their beasts along.
He left only one stubborn fellow behind.
Bzzz!
As soon as Legolas left, Blade took centerstage.
At this moment, this warrior's eyes already turned pitch-black. Having been held back by his master since, he was already frustrated but now, he could finally unleash his fury, he could finally unleash his emotion.
Blade did not hesitate.
Due to his excitement, he was already in an adrenaline state and this enabled him to trigger his greatest talent to date instantly.
"Special Talent: Demi-Singularity!"
"Demi-Singularity Ability: Explosive Burst!"
"Demi-Singularity Ability: One-hit Kill!"
Blade arrived beside Giant Norman in an instant, his speed was otherworldly, as for his right fist, it was already glowing so bright with the energy of a star.
This Pugilist punched with all this power.
BOOM!
CRACK!
The airspace cracked; Giant Norman felt it.
In one move, Blade lost half his Health Points but in exchange, though he was not able to kill Giant Norman in one move, he dealt so much damage in one blow that for the first time, Giant Norman bled!
This was a feat that even Jon Stones had not achieved yet!
Giant Norman staggered backwards after the incredible punch.
Even as shock reverberated through this battlefield from the punch, Jon Stones and Blade ignored everything else as they turned to look at each other.
Unlike the others, these 2 felt such an affinity at this moment like they were one. For a long time, they had trailblazed their way forward as unique individuals but for the first time, they felt like they saw parallels of themselves.
They literally saw themselves in each other.
Jon Stones saw so much of his younger self in Blade.
Blade saw what he wanted to become in the future in Jon Stones.
Both warriors smiled, they didn't need to communicate first, they understood each other, they understood what went on in their minds.
Their super ways were more or less the same.
They spoke at the same time with the same conviction.
"No Retreat!"
"No Surrender!"
Stoked in their passion, Blade and Jon Stones ignored everything else as with crazy motivation, they pounced on Giant Norman with gusto!
They no longer cared about death, all they cared about at this moment was channeling the true essence of a Pugilist in a bid to save their Planet.
Powered by revenge and other emotions, these 2 Pugilists entered a special state where everything that they did and touched turned into gold, dangerous gold.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even as this happened, having lost it's initial target, the Undying Cockroach did not give up as it tore the airspace open before teleporting away.
The Undying Cockroach went after the Skull Necromancer.
Also, as soon as he discovered where they teleported to, Alexander guessed their plans. He sent another of his allies to go intercept them.
…
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Undead Titans rampaged in the Ancient Titan Palace.
A human intruding was already enough to stimulate them, but Altan infiltrating so deep and learning the secret of the energy machine caused them to go Berserk. All the Undead Titans went after this Pugilist.
Altan was still alive only because of the 5-meter-tall machine.
Even as the machine kept on drilling into the ground, Altan continually used it as a refuge to escape from the deadly attacks of the Titans.
The Titans dared not go too close in fear of destroying the machine. The A.I's in their head that controlled them were programmed not to touch the machine.
This was the only reason why Altan was still alive but his life was still on the edge. Even as he scrambled for his life, they finally came.
Bzzz!
Hearing the sound of the airspace being torn alone excited Altan to no end, though his face changed when he saw a flaming skull appear in his vision.
"Kill!"
As soon as Daemon ordered, his skeletons poured out in droves as they clashed against the Titans. None of them were spared, even as they clashed against the Titans like a plague, the White Flame appeared.
Legolas and Christensen appeared not long after.
On seeing the 2 familiar figures, Altan was ecstatic.
"Praise be to the Almighty Hermit!" This religious fanatic was fervent.
"It's that spot, that is the weak point". He pointed at a spot on the machine.
"The Emperor says it should be destroyed in one hit, that is the only way to stop the mechanism".
"Anymore and there can be anomalies".
From the skies, Legolas looked at it. The gigantic machine kept on drilling into the ground without a care of the world even as it served as an energy receiver for pure core energy from the planet core.
It was a finely designed machine but it was not perfect, one of these inconsistencies was pointed out by Altan.
As Legolas looked at this weak point, some questions lingered in his mind.
'How sturdy is this machine?'
'Can normal Grade C attacks overwhelm it's defense?'
'What if we are not strong enough to destroy it in one hit?'
All these questions held Legolas back from making a move immediately.
"SCREECH…!!!"
The Undying Cockroach arrived with a loud shrieking sound.
"Hey, we need to be fast or that Cockroach will turn here into a ruin in no time, we have no time".
Daemon's urging put Legolas under more pressure but he didn't act.
This moment was delicate, any mistake could spoil it all.
As the Undying Cockroach charged towards them, the pressure increased but it only made Legolas's brain to become calmer and think more rationally.
The next moment, his eyes shone, he just got inspiration.
The gigantic Undying Cockroach opened its Giant mouth in a bid to attack Daemon who was it's primary target, this was when Legolas moved.
Bzzz!
He moved so fast that he arrived behind Daemon in an instant, before Daemon could understand what was going on, he pushed him towards the machine which at the same time made the Undying Cockroach to focus there.
"Augment it before it attacks!"
The White Flame was shocked but the pressure of this moment made her to act instinctively, her white glow of empowerment engulfed the Cockroach.
The next moment, this Bio-Mechanic Monstrosity became even more lethal.
Daemon could only watch with wide eyes; he could not dodge.
The Undying Cockroach opened its mouth and breath lethal Gravity energy!
"WHOO…!!!"
BOOM!
