The Veilwalker
Chapter 462 - 462: The Supreme One (1)

"They aren't dead…" Drakmor stated more than asked, still shaken from what he had just heard from the Supreme One.

"Ah…" Alex muttered, realising what the dragon was referring to. With another snap of his fingers, the two apparently dead gods appeared amongst their colleagues, their expressions one of shock and fear.

"Hii…!"

The moment their eyes fell on Alex, they swiftly distanced themselves. As for the gods who were kneeling in the direction of the gate, they were left in a state of disbelief.

"H-how…?"

The dragon asked the question everyone had in mind. Chronovar, especially, was very interested in knowing. He swore those concepts his two heralds wielded were freed when they 'died'.

There was no way this made sense. The concepts didn't come from just any universe, it came from Universe Prime! This made the entire thing all the more baffling.

"I gave my answer a long time ago," Alex replied casually. "It's not my fault you guys couldn't understand what I meant."

"..."

Drakmor and the gods were at a loss for words. But as the dragon thought about his response to that minor god some time back, realisation dawned on him.

'His own system…'

From the unique energy they could not sense to the capabilities allowing Alex to suppress the Universe Prime gods. None of this was normal and went against all they knew about the multiverse.

'A system that can interact with this reality and not the other way around…' Drakmor gulped. 'Is this all as a result of his self-ascension?' The dragon wasn't sure, and he wasn't buying it.

Had that been the case, all gods would have had their own essence. 'No… Veilwalkers are different. We become reality itself once we reach godhood.'

The dragon looked at Alex once more. 'He is his own universe with his own rules…That is why this reality couldn't tell the difference between erased and captured. The Universe failed to sense that connection and thought the gods were erased.'

The knowing smile on Alexander's face told the dragon his line of thought was more or less correct. 'He's a monster…'

"Well then, I'll see you guys later." Alex's intent woke them out of their running thoughts. With a wave of his hand, his figure shot through the much denser space with ease, quickly closing in on the light.

Soon, his figure disappeared, and the imaginary doors closed a second later. The gods remained in place for several seconds before lifting their heads.

As they contemplated their actions and what the dragon said, some of the gods couldn't help but feel a shiver run down their spines.

"What do you think the Supreme One will do?" One of the gods asked nervously.

"I have no idea… But it can't be good. Hardly has the Supreme One interacted with us. This time, however, I think we went too far…"

"..."

The major gods heard every word, clenching their fists nervously. Naturally, some believed the Supreme One would ignore this, like he always did.

"!!!"

That thought came back to bite the gods in the backside when they all received a one-word message from the Supreme One. This was something that rarely ever occurred.

Some gods had never actually seen the Supreme One or heard his voice in their heads before. But that one word told them they were in serious trouble.

Their ugly expressions depicting their fear and trembling bodies didn't go unnoticed by Drakmor and his apprentice. Ignoring the gods, the dragon said to his apprentice, "Let's go..."

The two disappeared shortly after. Drakmor was taking Andrew to the base of operations of the Chiefs. There was nothing to do at the moment except to wait.

...

Appearing on the other side of the light doors, Alex was welcomed to a world of complete white. There was no atmosphere, no earth, no nothing.

'My Nexus Radiant is still in effect.'

Alex thought with a sigh of relief. He could still feel the power of the Supreme One all around him, draining him of his energy, but it was not enough to make a noticeable dent.

Also, he could feel his connection to the outside world. The space did not cut his connections to his other bodies, which was another relief for his nerves.

"Hello…?" Alex called softly.

His senses were limited to the size of his domain, so there was not much he could do. Even if it wasn't, he doubted he could extend it more than what he already had.

There was also the fact that there was nothing around.

"Welcome…"

An ethereal voice, deep and majestic, echoed all around Alex, making him take an unconscious step back. That single word shook his domain, draining more energy than he used in subduing the gods.

'Fuck, I need to be careful.' He broke out a cold sweat, still searching for any signs of the Supreme One.

"Oops, sorry about that." The voice came again. This time, however, it felt different and even jovial, leaving Alex confused and tense. Unlike the majestic and soul-stirring tone from before, this tone sounded… childish.

But one thing was certain: the drain he felt earlier was gone. The Supreme One was able to tell that his word had a heavy impact on Alex. 'If just a single word could drain me this much…' He didn't complete that thought.

Alex knew he was in trouble if the Supreme One wanted to harm him. The Supreme One wouldn't need to do anything but drain him until there was nothing left.

"Please, have a seat…"

Right before his eyes, a small tea table 35 centimetres high, 115 centimetres long and 75 centimetres wide, appeared with two soft mats on opposite sides. On one side of the table was a modern tea set, the teapot already letting out steam.

Alex looked at the set-up for a second before moving to take a seat. The Supreme One was yet to make his appearance, but Alex was patient.

His mind was racing with multiple topics, at the top of the list being his energy levels. 'I need to test my hypothesis as soon as possible. My other bodies can't do this without the core…'

"Sorry for the wait."

Alex snapped out of his thoughts and raised his head when he heard a voice right before him. The Supreme One was already seated on the other mat with a slight smile tugging at his lips.
