nAlexander still felt like it was yesterday that he had the conversation.

n‘Alex, you have finally matured but any plan is not going to be easy”.

n‘The humans are now stronger than we ever predicted”.

n‘There are now 9 Grade C Superhumans in Planet Darvis”.

n‘We can’t afford to use force, the losses will be too much, what way do you suggest we use to worm our way into Planet Darvis?”

n‘The Carrot-Stick strategy”. Alexander answered confidently like he had been thinking of this since long ago even before the General asked.

n“Using the Carrot-Stick strategy is the best, I know humans, I lived with them for over 3 decades, their ignorance and curiosity is their greatest weakness”.

n‘Let us give them knowledge’.

n‘Give them a tiny bit of knowledge, and their curiosity will push them all the way to get the rest, it is this curiosity that we will take advantage of’.

nGeneral Aztog nodded. ‘I’m not sure but I leave everything to you’.

nWith that, Alexander took helm over the plans. It took him centuries to finetune everything because he didn’t want to make any mistake.

nHis first target was Newton and some other avid scientists. Like he expected, a younger Newton accepted the sudden knowledge and alien technology with gusto as he locked himself in seclusion and delved into the world of research.

nThe more Newton deduced through alien machines, the more horrified he felt at how wholly inadequate and ignorant they had been before now.

nLike Alexander wanted, Newton was on the path of becoming too engrossed in alien machine and opening himself to infiltration before the old man intervened.

nTo Alexander’s shocks, one of his targets that he exposed knowledge to discovered the traces that these were attempts at manipulation.

nThe old Summoner warned Newton and the others before going into seclusion, not even the satellite surveillance of General Aztog’s company could penetrate deep enough to see the current state of this old man.

nOnce Newton became cautious of manipulating aliens, Alexander’s plan became much more complicated and difficult until Norman came along.

nA young, energetic, naïve scientist with fresh curiosity for new things.

nAs soon as Newton took Norman in, Alexander targeted him specifically. With his shadow abilities, not even Newton was able to notice him infiltrating, carefully, he steered Norman’s development in a manner that he wanted.

nAnd due to the fact that Newton was always so busy with his experiments, he did not discover on time until it was already too late.

nOn that fateful day, Clown was born!

nAlexander looked at all the Grade C Superhumans that were witnessing his reveal today. “On that day, Clown was born!”

n“Norman guessed that someone was feeding him information but he never suspected that it was some manipulating alien”.

n“I fed him with the notion of the God of Chaos so much that he believed that it was the God of Chaos who fed him knowledge and told him to proliferate the faith of chaos”.

n“My Shadow abilities are on the weirder side, I was able to manipulate Norman’s emotions, turning him into the ideal vessel that I wanted”.

nNorman’s eyes widened even as tears welled up in his eyes. “Those moments of epiphany in my research, it was you?”

nAlexander smirked. “Not all of them, but most of them, yes”.

n“…”

nNorman received a mental blow that instantly reduced his resistance, the invading A.I experienced smoother access to the mental spaces in his brain.

n“After molding you into my perfect vessel mentally, I installed the Stealth Chip on your head before letting you loose to develop by yourself”.

n“You didn’t disappoint me, your obsession to make your narcissist master acknowledge you did most of the work, motivating you to give your best”.

n“Under my subtle directions, you created the Clown Society”.

n“You started your ultimate plan to turn your test subjects into Grade B powerhouses while making yourself the real ultimate test subject also due to me, you were simply the best test subject that I could ever wish for”.

n“…” Hearing that term used on him again gave Clown another mental blow.

nHe was already having a mental breakdown.

n“General Aztog’s orders were simple, turn Planet Darvis into a controllable Planet to install myself as the Governor. How I governed the Planet didn’t concern him, it is simply access to Arcanite that he needed”.

n“In my template, if Norman’s plan worked and Planet Darvis really fell to his knees, I would simply come and take over the results of his hardwork”.

n“Everything would become easier then”.

n“I will become the Governor representing the Naks, while General Aztog gets to harvest Arcanite, this was a win-win situation but you guys were too stubborn, even someone as crazy as Norman could not succeed”.

n“Left with no choice, I had to intervene”. He smiled eerily.

nBy now, all the Grade C Superhumans already more or less got the gist of the situation. Thinking of how they were living ignorant for so many years, some of them felt vulnerable like never before as chills went down their spines.

nNewton was the few that stood his ground though, he glared at this Shadow Elementalist that hovered in the skies. “As you can see, Norman didn’t succeed”.

n“What makes you think that you can?”

nAlexander looked at him in an interesting manner without replying.

n“Release my student’s consciousness or suffer the wrath of all the Superhumans in Planet Darvis”.

n“Hehe…”

n“Before you laugh, remember this, Jon Stones is coming”.

n“If you’ve really followed the Planet as closely as you say, then you’ll know how capable he is, you really think you can face us both in battle?”

n“No, but he can”. Alexander pointed at Norman.

nBZZZ!

nAlexander barely finished speaking before the airspace was torn open directly behind him. The airspace was torn apart so smoothly that the culprit arrived in an instant, Jon Stones’ fist moved like a meteorite.

n“Stones’ Specialty: Obliteration Fist!”

nJon Stones was here!

nBOOM…!!!

nThe air rippled even as the sound reverberated like rumbling thunder.

nThe attack was at point-blank range, there was no chances for Alexander dodging this but this Shadow Elementalist completely defied physics and expectations. This warrior’s body instantly faded into ethereal shadows.

nThe punch and the fist passed right through his body like he was a specter.

n“Hahaha…!”

n“Hehehe…!”

n“Hohoho…!

nAlexander’s crazy laughter sent even more spines freezing.

nJon Stones was not having it though, he turned at a superhuman speed, flexing his incredible reaction speed that was only possible for a Pugilist at his level as he punched again with a ridiculous amount of force following it.

n“Stones’ Specialty: Fist of Obliteration!”

nBOOM…!!!”

nThis time, Alexander finally teleported.

nBzzz!

nNorman felt his heart sinking into the depths of despair, Alexander teleported directly behind him. As soon as he arrived, this warrior placed both his hands above Norman’s head as instantly, another suppressing force came.

nNorman could no longer resist, his consciousness was instantly suppressed, enabling the chip A.I to take full control over his body.

nAlexander gave his last orders. “Commence final transformation!”

nBzzz!

nCrack!

nNorman’s bones instantly cracked and deformed. Jon Stones and Newton were already charging towards this direction, but they were not fast enough, with crazy speed and smoothness, Alexander materialized energy cables.

nThese energy cables carried pure core energy from the planet core.

nAlexander grinned. “Take energy, morph and transform into your final form”.𝒐𝗏𝓁xt.𝓒𝒪𝗆

n“Show these Space Peasants what technology truly means”.

nHUM!!!

nAmid the powerful humming sound, the pure core energy exploded in Norman’s body as both Jon Stones and Newton were pushed away by the shockwaves.

nSuch energy was supposed to tear Norman apart but this was not the case, this warrior was strangely still completely fine.

nAt this moment, Norman was experiencing a transformation.

nBoom! Boom!

nPower sporadically emitted and exploded from his bulging body.

nNorman’s body expanded!

nThis Elementalist’s body expanded to a towering height of 10 meters like an Ancient Giant!

nWith eyes bulging and glowing white with power, even as power flowed through his body, with one last explosion, the final transformation took place.

nBOOM!

nA blinding light blocked others from seeing it first.

nThough they did not see it, the mighty aura already leaked.

nPowerful and aggressive aura that already attained the Grade B realm exploded with force as it battered against the senses of all the spectators.

n“What…?!!!” Everyone was shocked.

n“Hahaha…!”

n“Hehehe…!”

n“Hohoho…!”

n“Space Peasants, witness the power of Nak Technology!”
