Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Same Defects
Alexander was ready. As one of Robert's arms blocked his claw, the other claw would smash Robert's head, ending his life! This time, Alexander and Robert were too close. Robert's fist was embedded in Alexander's body, making it impossible for Robert to replicate the maneuver of kicking Alexander away.
Thus, Alexander was confident of his victory.
"Bang!" Alexander's first punch was blocked by Robert's remaining fist. Alexander's expression didn't change, as this was expected. His eyes still gleamed with excitement, anticipating the moment he would blow Robert's head apart.
"Bang!" However, in the next moment, Alexander's expression changed. His hand, aimed at Robert's head, was blocked. Not by Robert's legs, but by a furry, powerful tail! Yes, in this battle, Robert used his tail to counter. Normally, Robert didn't use his tail, even in the Dragon Ball world. Characters with tails rarely used them in combat, but a tail could be a critical asset when opponents overlooked it, like now.
"Tail? You're not human? No, you're not a pure human?" Seeing Robert's tail, Alexander was surprised. "Which dimension are you from? Do you really want to oppose us?"
"You're the one who's not pure... No, you're a pure freak!" Robert cursed, using his embedded arm to pull Alexander closer while the latter was distracted by the tail.
"Bang! Bang! Splat! Splat!" Robert's other fist and tail simultaneously struck. One hit Alexander's head while the tail smashed his chest, freeing Robert's trapped arm and heavily injuring Alexander, sending him flying and blowing his head apart, achieving what Alexander had aimed to do to Robert.
"Good! Very good! I don't care which dimension you're from. Since you dare to oppose us, you don't deserve to live!" After being sent flying, Alexander stabilized his broken body. Even with his head blown off, he could still speak, and his head quickly regenerated.
If Alexander were still an Earth creature, a blown head would affect him despite his strength. Now, transformed into an unknown dimensional being, a blown head wasn't fatal. As long as his energy wasn't depleted, he was hard to kill. Such dimensional beings had vitality far beyond werewolves and vampires. Robert, lacking silver items, wondered if Alexander feared silver.
"Silver I don't have, but I have sunlight!" Seeing Alexander recover, Robert's eyes lit up, forming a different kind of ki wave.
This ki wave was imbued with the power of sunlight. After fighting the moon god Khonshu and studying moonlight power, Robert perfected converting his ki into sunlight energy. He could now turn the Solar Flare into a ki wave.
This sunlight ki wave wouldn't affect normal enemies much, only making them feel it was extremely bright and hard to sense. But for vampires or werewolves, getting hit by this sunlight ki wave would be devastating, potentially eradicating them.
When Robert condensed this sunlight ki wave, Alexander sensed something was wrong but couldn't pinpoint it due to the ki wave's effect on his perception. By the time he noticed it, the ki wave was already upon him!
"Sss!" As the sunlight ki wave hit Alexander, it penetrated his body like before. However, unlike before, the wounds healed slowly and with difficulty. Peter Parker's speculation about this dimension's fear of sunlight was correct. Even if it couldn't kill Alexander, it significantly affected him, meaning the Avengers had a counter against this dimension's beings in future encounters.
Of course, Morbius and Blade wouldn't be able to fight them, even if they were different from ordinary vampires. They'd be just as powerless against this mysterious dimension as Peter Parker and Harry Osborn were.
This was evident when the vampire lord used forbidden power. They couldn't join the battle, and if controlled like Peter Parker and Harry Osborn, it would be even worse.
Realizing Alexander feared sunlight but Blade and Morbius didn't, Robert began to suspect they might be experimental subjects trying to overcome this weakness.
"Damn! Which dimension are you from? How do you know our weakness? How do you possess such power?!" After being heavily injured by the sunlight ki wave, Alexander's mindset changed. He reformed his body, but his chest wound was still slow to heal. His aura became violent as he glared at Robert, seeking to uncover his origins.
"What? Your dimension's weakness is obvious. Do you really think your secrets can stay hidden?" Robert sneered, looking at Alexander with disdain.
"Impossible! Our Dark Dimension's secrets are unknown to others! No dimension has such pure light power! Who are you?!" Alexander's face darkened, questioning Robert again.
"Heh, once a secret is known by one person, it's no longer a secret. How can you be sure you've never been exposed?" Robert kept a straight face, probing Alexander while musing internally.
"Dark Dimension, huh? I wonder if it's related to the Dark Dimension of that masked entity? Probably just another dark-aligned dimension. Many dimensions have similar powers, like there are multiple magical dimensions..."
"Who exposed us?" Alexander's eyes flickered, not only contemplating himself but the consciousness from his dimension also pondering.
On Earth, it was common knowledge that vampires and werewolves feared silver and sunlight. Even ordinary people knew. But among dimensions, such knowledge was rare. Dimensional cores were secrets, unknown and unspoken. No dimension would reveal its weaknesses, lest it face annihilation or subjugation.
"Never mind! I'll deal with you first, then find your dimension! You've set up such a grand scene on Earth, even creating a mirror dimension. Has your dimension conquered Earth, or have you allied with the Sorcerer Supreme?" Alexander sought to extract information from Robert, suspecting a deeper connection.
Knowing about Kamar-Taj and the Ancient One, Alexander now feared Robert's backing dimension more. Whether Robert achieved this by conquering Earth or allying with the Sorcerer Supreme, it proved Robert and his dimension's power. Earth's dimension wasn't easy to invade, and Kamar-Taj and the Ancient One weren't easy to deal with. Otherwise, many dimensions desiring Earth would have succeeded by now.
"Swish!" Alexander, deciding to capture Robert first, vanished and reappeared behind him, launching a surprise attack!
"Sss!" Just then, Robert's body emitted a new kind of ki flame, different from the light green flame of the Great Ape's Wrath. This flame was colorless, like sunlight.
Robert had converted all his ki into light, not only enhancing his attacks against Alexander but also making him harder to detect or target.
"Bang! Sss! Bang! Sss!" Robert and Alexander clashed again, but now, with Robert's ki turned to light, every collision inflicted severe pain on Alexander, like being burned by fire.
Alexander's current strength allowed quick recovery from burns, but Robert's new attacks were hard to heal. These injuries weren't fatal but accumulated during the fight, gradually weakening Alexander's combat and movement abilities. Over time, Alexander would lose the ability to fight Robert.
"Damn!" Realizing this, Alexander cursed. He knew his own weaknesses. They had sent power to Earth to solve this defect, but he didn't expect to fall into such a trap again.
As the battle continued, Alexander's original consciousness influenced him. Unable to defeat Robert, he decided to escape the mirror dimension. The original Alexander couldn't leave due to limited means and power control, but the new Alexander was different!
"Swish!" With this thought, Alexander attempted to flee, using absolute speed to distance himself from Robert...
