While Alex and the others were busy fighting the greatest war the world had ever seen, a certain figure appeared in the skies above Romania, homeland of the vampires.
It was woman who's figure and bearing would inspire ŀust and devotion in even the most stalwart of men, with her long silvery blonde hair that softly fluttered around her, her luscious full Ruby-red lips, complimenting the blood-red eyes that scanned the area around her. The only thing covering her body was a dress that appeared to have been woven from the inky darkness of night itself, which perfectly hugged her body to match and show off the various contours and curves she possessed.
Confined within was a pair of massive mammaries that seemed to be pushing the very limits of the fabric containing them, rivaling even Rias's in terms of size. Further down was a set of wide hɨps that led to a pair of long pale legs that peeked out from under her dress.
The woman's luscious lips curled up into a half smile as she gazed down at the city below, which was locked into a perpetual night for its nocturnal denizens. Around her several other women also began to appear out of thin air, one with her red hair tied into bushy twin-tails that a small pig nosed bat sat between, another wearing a black Chinese dress while her own matching black hair was similarly tied up into twin-tails.
Next to them was a notably more mȧturė duo of women, one of which was dressed up in a skimpy black leather mini skirt and bodice, with the only thing protecting her dignity below the skirt being a tiny black thong. That was more than the other mȧturė looking tanned woman though, who was dressed in a short and skimpy maid attire, while she had nothing on under the impossibly short skirt to keep the sharp eyed vampires below from seeing her pale lower lips.
In front of all of them and acting as their guide was another woman, dressed in a black gothic Lolita outfit with delicate doll-like features, Elmenhilde. Even as she looked down at her homeland Elmenhilde didn't feel the slightest bit of attachment as she had long since decided that her home was Asora, and all of her devotion directed towards Alex and one of his wives in particular.
Said wife raised her upper lip slightly as the stared down at the vampires below her, who were steadily taking notice of the presence of herself and her comrades. Then, despite speaking in little more than a whisper, her voice echoed out to all of the vampires in Romania as she announced,
"My name is Aletia Galdea Vesperito Avatarl, I have come here for one reason and one reason only." As Aletia(AKA Yue) paused in her speech to let her words carry as more and more vampires noticed her and her entourage, she then continued after a moment, "We are here to bring all of the vampires of this world under my control, the control of your new goddess."
At once there was a wave of murmuring at Aletia's declaration, the vast majority of which was more than a little angry at how presumptuous her claims were.
Though they currently had a somewhat uneasy peace, the vampires of the DXD world had spent centuries at odds with each other over wether or not their ancestor was the male Tepes, or the female Carmilla, splitting into two differing factions in the process. While numerous remaining supporters of the Carmilla seemed excited at the prospect of worshipping a female vampiric goddess, most of the other vampires and remainders of the Tepes faction grew increasingly angry.
Knowing that gaining control of this world's vampires wasn't going to be that easy, Aletia began to radiate a terrifying aura that cowed the majority of the vampires below her, before, suddenly, she plummeted to the ground below her alongside her attendants. Now surrounded on all sides by her future subjects, Aletia then declared,
"If any have a problem with my rule, then you are free to come forward and contend me for it, after they get past my attendants of course."
As she spoke Aletia's aura spiked even higher, suffocating anyone unfortunate enough to be too close, before the auras of Kokoa, Akua, Akasha, Gyokuro, and Elmenhilde suddenly shot up as well. They weren't as powerful as Aletia's, but they easily dwarfed every single one of the vampires present in Romania.
***
Back at the battlefield, a demonfied Mirajane sighed as she dropped the unmoving body of none other than the Dagda after she singlehandedly defeated the entire Celtic pantheon, and the army of Druids they brought with them. She had honestly gotten more than a little excited after hearing that Druids were also able to shapeshift to take the forms of animals, but was now disappointed because they weren't as strong as she hoped.
Of course, while a large part of the reason for this was because Druids didn't use their transformations like Mirajane did, the biggest reason was because Mirajane herself was quickly becoming too powerful after consuming only a few of the Ultimate class Devil souls Alex gave her. While one hadn't given her a new form just yet, each one she consumed had multiplied her physical and magical capabilities by several times, while also granting her a few new abilities.
One such ability suddenly activated as one of the Druids that still had a bit of consciousness left in them tried to send one last attack at Mirajane's back after she seemingly let her guard down. Instead of the attacking hitting her however, right as the roots that the Druid had conjured and controlled to attack Mirajane were about to hit her a giant 'hole' appeared in the empty space behind her. The Druid watched in disbelief as the roots were suċkėd into the hole behind Mirajane, before it closed to cut them off at the base.
"W-what are you monster...?" The Druid gasped out at her, making Mirajane look back at him sadistically before asking coyly,
"Monster?" The Druid paled as Mirajane began to saunter up to him with a seductive sway to her hɨps, her demonic tail swaying as her high heeled boots clacked on the ground. As she slowly approached him the Druid tried to hurriedly crawl backwards while keeping his eyes on Mirajane herself, though they kept drifting to her brėȧsts that threatened to spill from her jumpsuit, and the part where the bottoms wedged deeply into her crotch.
Stopping right before the Druid, Mirajane continued, "I'm no monster-" Her sadistic smile grew larger as she slowly raised her foot, making the wedge in her crotch even more eye catching, before sneering,
"I'm a motherfucking QUEEN bitch!" She then dug the heel of her boot directly into the delicate area between the Druids legs, making his screams echo across the battlefield.
...
Too far to hear the poor Druids screams, Kuroka smirked as she faced her own set of opponents, all of the eastern factions of gods and heroes with none other than Indra at their head.
"We don't have time for small-fry, best to get out of our way little missy!" Indra told her ċȯċkily, making Kuroka's tails twitch in agitation as she practically growled,
"Oh this is going to feel reeeeealy good with how I feel right now!" Still very much pissed after the thing regarding Aphrodite's curse on Alex, the last thing Kuroka needed or wanted was to be belittled by someone like Indra.
Unfortunately for the eastern God and his entourage, none of them knew just how unfortunate they were to have Kuroka as their opponent until it was too late.
As numerous individuals began to rush her, they all seemed to slow until every single person around the battlefield was standing completely still, as if they were all frozen in time. Then, as if without a single care in the world, Kuroka leisurely approached Indra and tapped him with her finger, before moving onto the next person.
Though it didn't appear as if she was actually doing anything, Kuroka was in fact using her mastery in control over the energies within another person's body to make it so none of them were able to use any form of energy within their bodies, let alone do things like stand or even move their bodies for the next few hours.
"I'll teach you to belittle the 'Queen' of the Dragon Emperor~Nya!"
***
While Kuroka was taking out her frustrations on all of the eastern factions at her leisure, high in the air above them, almost to the stratosphere, Destruction raged as Rias and Shiva battled each other intensely.
"You may indeed have power, but I have had numerous millennia to master my abilities. Just give up." Shiva said as Rias glared at him, her ċhėst heaving as she breathed heavily from using so much of her energy, cursing herself for her lack of training.
It wasn't Rias's fault though, as her Destruction made it incredibly difficult to actually train in combat since she would run the risk of killing most people who she could train with, with few exceptions like Yue. Instead most of her power was developed through self training and theory, meaning she had little chance to go all out in most battles.
Shiva on the other hand, like he had told her, had had numerous millennia to hone his abilities on top of the numerous wars Indra had started against him. Even in her Super Devil form she was at a complete disadvantage against him.
"Haaaah..." Rias sighed deeply, making Shiva look up at her as he asked,
"Do you realize the fruitlessness of your efforts now? If so then call the Dragon Emperor up here so he can fight me himself." Rias's brows twitched in irritation when she heard that, before she asked,
"What are you talking about? I'm just annoyed because I know I'll never hear the end of this from that stupid midget." For once Shiva actually appeared confused at Rias's word until he suddenly became alert as the hairs on his neck and arms started standing up.
While Rias's powers as a Super Devil were in fact suffocating to the average person, Shiva wasn't the strongest person in the world(barring existences like Ophis and Great Red) for no reason. However what he saw next would haunt him for years to come.
Out of nowhere the aura surrounding Rias suddenly began to multiply in size and intensity, while the power coming from her exploded until even he felt oppressed by it.
"W-what is this!?" He demanded with the closest thing to panic he had felt in thousands of years, to which Rias explained,
"One of the types of magics we learned in another world is called Evolution magic. Using it directly on our bodies, Alex turned us Devils into Super Devils, but it has a far more practical use. Forcibly, albeit temporarily, elevating our power to the next level." When he heard that Shiva paled at the implications of what Rias had said.
What she was describing was akin to the most basic function of the Boosted Gear, it's 'Boost'. Using it one could simply continue 'Boost'ing their strength until even a relatively normal person possessed the strength to challenge gods, which was exactly why it was considered a Longinus. The idea of people already on the scale of gods being able to do so as they wished was truly...terrifying.
Shiva witnessed this firsthand as Rias's power exploded until it far exceeded his own, making her the first person he had ever encountered that genuinely made him feel a sense of urgency and danger.
***
Sensing the sudden increase in Rias's power, Alex looked upwards towards where she and Shiva were before muttering to himself,
"So she's using that, huh? Let's hope she doesn't end up destroying the whole world in the process." Also looking up right next to him, Nyx similarly could help but to mutter,
"The fact that I once thought I could go against you all makes me realize how stupid I was..." Alex smiled wryly at her as he once again turned his attention towards the battlefield below them, where the girls were slowly but steadily carving their way through all of the combatants that Odin and the other gods had brought.
Despite the large number of opponents that they had already defeated, there were still hundreds of thousands of combatants left, if not more. Deciding to....speed things up a bit, Alex waved one of his hands to create numerous magics circles that shone brightly for a moment, before fading to reveal a number of new individuals dressed in maid attire.
"How may we be of service, great Dragon Emperor?" The head maid, Venri, asked while respectfully bowing towards Alex. With all of his maids(and the still mostly nȧkėd Katerea) awaiting his orders, Alex stated,
"I want you all to go and help the others to wrap up this battle. Don't worry about the big hitters, just help clean up the cannon fodder." While several of the maids displayed an eager smile at getting to join the battle, the most worrying one was a certain petite girl with a small pair of horns protruding rom the sides of her head.
"Does that mean I can cut them all up as I want?" The little one, Routier, asked eagerly while breathing heavily and holding up her new chainsaw, the one they looted from the battle with Darius that the Shinigami Grell Sutcliffe used.
Deadpanning at the little oni, Alex said,
"Only if you get permission from Grayfia or Venri." Though she looked noticeably sad at his answer, Routier had long since learned not to argue with Alex or the two aforementioned maids, otherwise she'd be the only one feeling the 'pain'.
With Routier being cowed and everyone else seeming excited to leap into battle, Venri then said as patch of green scales flashed across her skin,
"Well then, let's not keep our master waiting ladies!" With her receiving a series of cries of agreement, the combat maids launched themselves into battle as they threw themselves at the enemies.
Given permission to join the battle, the battalion of maids eagerly rushed forward towards their enemies. On their side the Pandora Stella, Arnett, Attia, Rana, Ticy, Chiffon, and Creo led the charge while Elizabeth supported them with her long range volt weapons. Meanwhile the former apostle Noint led the charge in a different direction with her eleven sisters in tow, half of which were carving a path forward with their blades, while the other half constantly spammed powerful spells thanks to the infinite supply of magic power from the cores in their hearts.
Leading the way up the front though was none other than Eri, the only one who could rival Lucy in terms of being a one person army as she summoned entire legions of monster corpses, that she carefully maintained in order to do battle. Marching within the legion of zombies was the gorgon Ishigami, the mixed breed youkai Mako, Yami's 'sisters' Mea and Nemesis, the demon race princess Francesca, the elven Princess Altina, and Grayfia's three newest recruits before Katerea, the mages Minerva, Meredy, and Ultear.
Of the maids though, the one most excited to join the battle was Nyx since she wanted to fight most of the gathered gods herself. In an instant an inky black darkness spread across the sky as Nyx's presence grew to encompass them all, and her voice boomed,
"FEEL THE POWER OF THE GODDESS OF DARKNESS! FEEL THE STRENGTH OF SHE WHO SERVES THE DRAGON EMPEROR!"
As if to punctuate her declaration, the dragonfied Venri then let out an ear shattering roar as she breathed a massive amount of fire out over the crowds. The sight of so many maids tearing their way through the battlefield was an awe inspiring sight for many, especially certain men of 'culture', but one thing that ruined it was the woman who had even been forced to join the battlefield almost completely nȧkėd, Katerea.
Unfortunately for her Katerea was still suffering her punishment for what she did to Venelana and Zeoticus, which usually wasn't that bad since she spent the majority of her time now in the space-time orb away from prying eyes, but the handful of times she had to leave the orb had been the most humiliating moments of her life. The current moment for example, no matter how many opponents she defeated, or how powerful her attacks were, all Alex and pretty much every single guy who noticed her could see was her violently shaking brėȧsts and ȧss. There had even been one moment when she had to perform a certain maneuver to avoid someone else's attack, allowing Alex and hundreds of other men to notice the ocean blue jewel tucked between her buŧŧ cheeks, making Alex wonder if Kuroka had been behaving mischievously behind his back again.
Whatever the reason for Katerea's sudden dėsɨrė to play with her ȧss, something else called for Alex's attention as he noticed two powerful beings approaching him. Though he thought this was weird due to how they seemed to be approaching him while being unimpeded by any of his women, Alex realized why this was the case as soon as he noticed who exactly it was that was approaching him.
"Teacher Wukong." Alex said as she stood and bowed his head respectfully to his former teacher, despite the fact that they were obviously about to do battle.
"It's nice to see that despite your position you'll still show respect to your teacher, usually this isn't the case when someone suddenly gains so much authority." Having witnessed this exact scenario happen numerous times, Wukong was genuinely glad to see Alex had not yet become as corrupt as some others might have in his position.
Alex however smile wryly, as he seemed to know what was going through his teacher's mind, and replied with a shrug,
"I'm plenty corrupt, just not when it comes to power." Wukong chuckled at Alex's remark as he looked out over the hundreds of women that were now fighting for him, all of which he didn't doubt his student was sleeping with. Though that was partially what he meant, what Alex was referring to specifically was how he didn't actually seek political power and authority.
However they weren't there to talk politics and personal corruption.
Though wasn't any noticeable signal both men readied themselves while the Dragon King that had arrived with Wukong, the Mischievous Green Dragon Yu-Long, wailed,
"Are we really doing this old man?! I don't want to fight the Dragon Emperor you know! This guy made even THAT Albion admit defeat!" Sighing in exasperation, Wukong looked down at his cowardly mount and asked,
"What kind of Dragon King are you to be so easily frightened and cowed?"
"A SMART ONE!" Yu-Long retorted indignantly, making his partner roll his eyes in annoyance, before a new cold yet sensual voice asked,
"So what does that make the rest of us then?"
"HIYAAAAAAAA!" Yu-Long shrieked when he saw the newcomer that he hadn't noticed approach, none other than the strongest of the five Dragon Kings, Tiamat.
"W-W-W-W-W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" The now genuinely scared Dragon King exclaimed in terror, making Tiamat give him a cold smirk as she remarked,
"The other two Dragon Kings that aren't aligned with the Dragon Emperor are here to do battle with him, did you really think I would miss out on such an opportunity to humiliate Ddraig?" With her smirk shifting to a sinister smile direct at Alex, the Boosted Gear materialized on his arm as Ddraig's voice sounded,
<Still Tiamat? We already repaid you after winning the Azazel Cup.>
As Ddraig said, Tiamat's grudge against him had to do with the fact that he had borrowed numerous treasures from her for his battle with Albion, and ended up losing them after he had been sealed into a Sacred Gear alongside his rival. Tiamat then hounded him and any possessor he had at the moment for centuries until Alex used the wish granted to the winner of the Azazel Cup to return them to her.
The light-blue haired Dragon King shrugged at his question and replied,
"Why not? I mean, you're even going around calling yourself the Emperor of all dragons now instead of just the red ones. Do you really think the rest of us wouldn't want to challenge you after that?" As she spoke an intense aura began to radiate from Tiamat's body, far surpassing the aura Alex had felt from any other dragons he had faced.
Meanwhile an earth-shattering roar deafened the entire battlefield as Miðgarðsormr sounded his intention to join the battle, before directing his massive head at Alex and the others that were together. Despite the overwhelming opponents arrayed before, again Alex flashed a fearless smile as he prepare to fight against the three Dragon Kings present, and the Monkey King himself.
Unfortunately, once again, there were apparently other plans as another new figure appeared, yet another dragon, but this time one from Alex's side.
"FOR MY LEIGE!" Bova roared as he appeared, before fearlessly turned to face Yu-Long, Miðgarðsormr, and even Tiamat, the ground beneath his feet glowing as it began to melt below him. Tiamat however looked slightly bemused at his appearance, and remarked,
"Bova, son of Tannin. So you intend to fight us as well?" Rather than appearing cowed by Tiamat as any other dragon might have, Bova met her gaze as he declared,
"If I can not ȧssist my lord here, then I do not deserve the honor of serving him!" Tiamat's smile widened at Bova's declaration as her own form began to grow, blue scales forming on her skin as a set of wings and a tail sprouted from her backside.
"SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE DRAGON!" She roared as she ȧssumed her own draconic form, before taking off after Bova as he flew towards Miðgarðsormr along with Yu-Long, where he intended to fight all three of the Dragon Kings at once.
As Bova departed with Tiamat and Yu-Long in tow Alex and Wukong turned their attention back towards each other, both noticeably anxious to start fighting. Before either attacked though, Alex held up a finger and said,
"One second. I don't want to fight the 'old man' Sun Wukong, I want to fight him at his strongest." Before Wukong could ask what Alex was talking about, he was surprised when his student snapped his fingers and a miraculous change overtook him.
Wukong watched dumbfoundedly as his body began to quickly grow larger, taking him from a wrinkled little old man, to someone in their early middle age in seconds. Along with his outward change though, he also felt his physical strength soar until it was akin to when he was in his prime. No, even then he was even stronger now than back then due to him retaining all of his energy training ever since his body began to deteriorate.
With Alex conjuring a mirror for him to look in, Wukong saw a face staring back at him that he hadn't seen in centuries, one with noticeably less wrinkles and golden-black hair instead of gray and silver. Meanwhile the baggy robes that he usually wore now seemed to fit properly instead of hanging loosely around his body, due to his muscle mass having increased notably.
"Is this for real...?" He asked in awe, to which Alex answered,
"Yep, it's a simple enough spell with one of the types of magic I've picked up. If you haven't noticed, someone did the same thing to Odin." Though they were supposed to be fighting, Wukong couldn't help but to admire his newfound youth for a few more seconds, until Alex continued,
"Soooo, you ready to fight yet? Or did you want to spend a few more minutes admiring yourself?" Jerking his attention away from the mirror, for a moment the old Monkey King resurfaced within Alex's teacher as Wukong flashed him a cheeky smile and remarked,
"Of course! Prepare for a spanking boy!" Both flashing cheeky smiles, the two monkeys had a brief second where they stared off against the other before they suddenly moved.
Instantly Wukong's own staff was in his hands as he extended it to deliver a series of high speed thrusts at Alex, only for the Saiyan to summon his own golden staff in turn.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The area around them was buffeted by a series of shockwaves as Alex used the end of his staff to perfectly hit the end of Wukong's staff during each of his thrusts, using the same exact amount of power Wukong used to deflect them. While that happened though, another Wukong appeared behind Alex to swing his staff at him from his blind spot, only for Alex to tilt his head at just the right angle to avoid it, without even looking back.
With his surprise attack failing to do anything to Alex, Wukong then halted his series of attacks before reaching up to rip out a handful of his own hair. Throwing them up into the air around him, Wukong then said,
"Let's see how you deal with an army of 'me's'!" As promised, the next moment each of the hairs shined brightly as they all turned into individual Wukongs, each one just as powerful and skilled as the original. Instead of appearing daunted though, Alex flashed yet another fearless smile as the fifty or so Wukongs descended upon him.
KACRASH!!!
As if the din of battle and chaos around them wasn't already bad enough, the combined might of roughly fifty Sun Wukongs delivering a full powered strike with their staves made the entire area around Mt Olympus shake violently, while the mountain itself began to crumble. Those around the mountain, and especially those who called it home, watched with undisguised horror as massive shards of rock splintered off the sides of it, while most horrifically was when the mountain itself split into several different sections.
At the center of the destruction of the now splintered mountain was Alex, standing tall and proud with his own staff raised to defend against them, despite the fifty or so Wukongs gaping at him in blatant shock after he took a full power strike from every single one of them at once.
"Truly a monster..." Wukong uttered in disbelief, making Alex's brow twitch as he remarked,
"You helped to make this 'monster', remember?" One of the Wukongs smiled at him when he said this, and replied,
"Indeed I do, and it is one of my greatest achievements." For a moment nothing happened as the two of them fondly recalled the days where Alex was Wukong's student, before they put their game faces on once more.
"My turn this time!" That was all the warning Wukong got before Alex's staff and arm suddenly blurred, and the next thing he knew he was surrounded by dozens of concussions as each and every one of his clones was destroyed before any of them were even able to react.
Buffeted by the shockwaves of Alex's attacks, it took Wukong all that he had not to be blown off of what remained of Mt Olympus as each of his clones were destroyed, only to open his eyes and see the tip of Alex's golden staff less than an inch from his nose.
"I win." Alex remarked with a cheeky smile, making Wukong stare blankly at him for a moment, before he too broke out in a smile.
"So it seems. Though, I dare say that neither of us are too surprised by this outcome, Monkey King." The moment the final two words left his teacher's lips Alex froze, before he asked incredulously,
"Are you serious?" Wukong nodded and said,
"Indeed, as my pupil you certainly have to right to inherit my title, and I dare say no one else is worthy enough to do so." Though his title as the 'Monkey King' had been passed on to his descendants centuries ago, as the original Wukong he still had the right to bestow it onto whomever he deemed worthy of it.
As if to show that was the case, Alex then received a notification stating that he had received the title 'Monkey King'. Normally when Alex received a title with word 'King' in it it would update to 'Emperor', but Lauren quickly explained to him that since it was a specific title and not a generic 'King' one, that wasn't the case.
"I am truly honored teacher." Alex said to Wukong, who waved away his sentiments while saying,
"I'd save the honors for later if I were you, or have you not noticed?" As he spoke, Alex looked up at the gathering of gods that had managed to avoid the brutal beating most of their brethren had received, and were preparing a massive amount of divine power with Thor at their head, despite having only recently recovered from Shia's earlier attack.
"Oh I've noticed alright, I'm just waiting for them to finish charging up." Rather than appearing stunned at Alex's words, Wukong instead began to laugh boisterously before he decided to lay down, and watch the next scene play out with complete faith in his best pupil.
Alex of course was eagerly awaiting what the gods had planned for him, which appeared to be them channeling as much divine power as possible into Thor's hammer Mjolnir for one decisive attack.
CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!
Overhead the sky crackled and rumbled as the amount of power being gathered into one area seemed to be reaching a breaking point, and yet they still poured more power into the divine hammer.
"THIS IS IT! OUR LAST CHANCE TO WIPE THAT SMIRK OFF OF HIS FACE!"
Thor roared along with the sky as he unleashed a blast of lightning so intense, so powerful, that it blinded everyone while also sending minor jolts of electricity arcing through the bodies of every single person present, despite the attack not even being anywhere close to them. The earth shook while the sky sounded as if it was being torn asunder, and while no one could see what was happening to Mt Olympus through the blinding light of Thor's attack, there was no doubt that the remains of the great mountain itself and all of the land around it had been vaporized under such an attack.
Or so they thought.
For several seconds the blinding light persisted, much longer than it should have, until confusion about the attack began to grow within those who couldn't see what was going on through the light. When it finally did start dying down though, what everyone saw stunned them more than anything else that happened that day.
Standing exactly where he was until the bolt of lightning was loosed, Alex seemed to be 'holding' the raw energy from the attack in his hands, but as the seconds passed they noticed it was steadily getting smaller. While no one else was able to tell what exactly Alex was doing, Odin's eye told him exactly what was happening as he watched the energy from the strongest attack they could muster flowing into Alex's body.
"You have got to be kidding me..." The elderly God muttered to himself, any thought of continuing trying to beat Alex and his wives now gone from his mind. Of course, that was even before he witnessed what happened next.
As Alex absorbed every last drop of the divine power in the attack, every single cell in his body felt as if it was full to the point of bursting with power, until he felt as if something within him changed.
"You might want to get some distance." Alex said to Wukong suddenly, making the old monkey quickly move away as the energy surrounding Alex began to intensify to frightening proportions, and took on a ruby red hue.
The spectators then watched in awe as winds began to pick up around Alex, blowing a cyclone into existence that encompassed only him, hiding Alex from everyone's view. Disembodied choir music began to play in some foreign language as the storm picked up in intensity, first freezing the area into snow scape before melting it, and then sending the surrounding temperature up as lightning arced around the storm once more.
Overhead the darkness of night suddenly gave way to the light of day, before night covered them once more, beginning a cycle that repeated itself several times over the next several minutes until the light overhead seemed to be moving in a blur.
Suddenly the cyclone around Alex began to collapse inward on itself as all of the phenomenon around them began to end, except for the disembodied music. When the clouds surrounding him finally dispersed they were all treated to a firsthand view of the affects of Alex's new appearance.
The most noticeable thing was that Alex's previously bright red fur had transitioned to a glowing shade of brilliant blue along with the rings around his eyes, while his pitch black hair was now a deep red that seemed to glow with a divine light. On a subtler note though, all of the extra bulk and height that Alex usually had whenever he used his SSJ4 transformation was gone, instead he actually appeared somewhat slimmer than usual.
Even with the choir music still blaring though, Alex shocked everyone from their stupor as he said in a fairly soft voice that still reached every corner of the battlefield,
"In case anyone doesn't understand what the Latin boss music meant, it roughly translates to 'you're all royalty fuċkėd'."
While Alex and the others were busy fighting the greatest war the world had ever seen, a certain figure appeared in the skies above Romania, homeland of the vampires.
It was woman who's figure and bearing would inspire ŀust and devotion in even the most stalwart of men, with her long silvery blonde hair that softly fluttered around her, her luscious full Ruby-red lips, complimenting the blood-red eyes that scanned the area around her. The only thing covering her body was a dress that appeared to have been woven from the inky darkness of night itself, which perfectly hugged her body to match and show off the various contours and curves she possessed.
Confined within was a pair of massive mammaries that seemed to be pushing the very limits of the fabric containing them, rivaling even Rias's in terms of size. Further down was a set of wide hɨps that led to a pair of long pale legs that peeked out from under her dress.
The woman's luscious lips curled up into a half smile as she gazed down at the city below, which was locked into a perpetual night for its nocturnal denizens. Around her several other women also began to appear out of thin air, one with her red hair tied into bushy twin-tails that a small pig nosed bat sat between, another wearing a black Chinese dress while her own matching black hair was similarly tied up into twin-tails.
Next to them was a notably more mȧturė duo of women, one of which was dressed up in a skimpy black leather mini skirt and bodice, with the only thing protecting her dignity below the skirt being a tiny black thong. That was more than the other mȧturė looking tanned woman though, who was dressed in a short and skimpy maid attire, while she had nothing on under the impossibly short skirt to keep the sharp eyed vampires below from seeing her pale lower lips.
In front of all of them and acting as their guide was another woman, dressed in a black gothic Lolita outfit with delicate doll-like features, Elmenhilde. Even as she looked down at her homeland Elmenhilde didn't feel the slightest bit of attachment as she had long since decided that her home was Asora, and all of her devotion directed towards Alex and one of his wives in particular.
Said wife raised her upper lip slightly as the stared down at the vampires below her, who were steadily taking notice of the presence of herself and her comrades. Then, despite speaking in little more than a whisper, her voice echoed out to all of the vampires in Romania as she announced,
"My name is Aletia Galdea Vesperito Avatarl, I have come here for one reason and one reason only." As Aletia(AKA Yue) paused in her speech to let her words carry as more and more vampires noticed her and her entourage, she then continued after a moment, "We are here to bring all of the vampires of this world under my control, the control of your new goddess."
At once there was a wave of murmuring at Aletia's declaration, the vast majority of which was more than a little angry at how presumptuous her claims were.
Though they currently had a somewhat uneasy peace, the vampires of the DXD world had spent centuries at odds with each other over wether or not their ancestor was the male Tepes, or the female Carmilla, splitting into two differing factions in the process. While numerous remaining supporters of the Carmilla seemed excited at the prospect of worshipping a female vampiric goddess, most of the other vampires and remainders of the Tepes faction grew increasingly angry.
Knowing that gaining control of this world's vampires wasn't going to be that easy, Aletia began to radiate a terrifying aura that cowed the majority of the vampires below her, before, suddenly, she plummeted to the ground below her alongside her attendants. Now surrounded on all sides by her future subjects, Aletia then declared,
"If any have a problem with my rule, then you are free to come forward and contend me for it, after they get past my attendants of course."
As she spoke Aletia's aura spiked even higher, suffocating anyone unfortunate enough to be too close, before the auras of Kokoa, Akua, Akasha, Gyokuro, and Elmenhilde suddenly shot up as well. They weren't as powerful as Aletia's, but they easily dwarfed every single one of the vampires present in Romania.

Back at the battlefield, a demonfied Mirajane sighed as she dropped the unmoving body of none other than the Dagda after she singlehandedly defeated the entire Celtic pantheon, and the army of Druids they brought with them. She had honestly gotten more than a little excited after hearing that Druids were also able to shapeshift to take the forms of animals, but was now disappointed because they weren't as strong as she hoped.
Of course, while a large part of the reason for this was because Druids didn't use their transformations like Mirajane did, the biggest reason was because Mirajane herself was quickly becoming too powerful after consuming only a few of the Ultimate class Devil souls Alex gave her. While one hadn't given her a new form just yet, each one she consumed had multiplied her physical and magical capabilities by several times, while also granting her a few new abilities.
One such ability suddenly activated as one of the Druids that still had a bit of consciousness left in them tried to send one last attack at Mirajane's back after she seemingly let her guard down. Instead of the attacking hitting her however, right as the roots that the Druid had conjured and controlled to attack Mirajane were about to hit her a giant 'hole' appeared in the empty space behind her. The Druid watched in disbelief as the roots were suċkėd into the hole behind Mirajane, before it closed to cut them off at the base.
"W-what are you monster...?" The Druid gasped out at her, making Mirajane look back at him sadistically before asking coyly,
"Monster?" The Druid paled as Mirajane began to saunter up to him with a seductive sway to her hɨps, her demonic tail swaying as her high heeled boots clacked on the ground. As she slowly approached him the Druid tried to hurriedly crawl backwards while keeping his eyes on Mirajane herself, though they kept drifting to her brėȧsts that threatened to spill from her jumpsuit, and the part where the bottoms wedged deeply into her crotch.
Stopping right before the Druid, Mirajane continued, "I'm no monster-" Her sadistic smile grew larger as she slowly raised her foot, making the wedge in her crotch even more eye catching, before sneering,
"I'm a motherfucking QUEEN bitch!" She then dug the heel of her boot directly into the delicate area between the Druids legs, making his screams echo across the battlefield.
...
Too far to hear the poor Druids screams, Kuroka smirked as she faced her own set of opponents, all of the eastern factions of gods and heroes with none other than Indra at their head.
"We don't have time for small-fry, best to get out of our way little missy!" Indra told her ċȯċkily, making Kuroka's tails twitch in agitation as she practically growled,
"Oh this is going to feel reeeeealy good with how I feel right now!" Still very much pissed after the thing regarding Aphrodite's curse on Alex, the last thing Kuroka needed or wanted was to be belittled by someone like Indra.
Unfortunately for the eastern God and his entourage, none of them knew just how unfortunate they were to have Kuroka as their opponent until it was too late.
As numerous individuals began to rush her, they all seemed to slow until every single person around the battlefield was standing completely still, as if they were all frozen in time. Then, as if without a single care in the world, Kuroka leisurely approached Indra and tapped him with her finger, before moving onto the next person.
Though it didn't appear as if she was actually doing anything, Kuroka was in fact using her mastery in control over the energies within another person's body to make it so none of them were able to use any form of energy within their bodies, let alone do things like stand or even move their bodies for the next few hours.
"I'll teach you to belittle the 'Queen' of the Dragon Emperor~Nya!"
***
While Kuroka was taking out her frustrations on all of the eastern factions at her leisure, high in the air above them, almost to the stratosphere, Destruction raged as Rias and Shiva battled each other intensely.
"You may indeed have power, but I have had numerous millennia to master my abilities. Just give up." Shiva said as Rias glared at him, her ċhėst heaving as she breathed heavily from using so much of her energy, cursing herself for her lack of training.
It wasn't Rias's fault though, as her Destruction made it incredibly difficult to actually train in combat since she would run the risk of killing most people who she could train with, with few exceptions like Yue. Instead most of her power was developed through self training and theory, meaning she had little chance to go all out in most battles.
Shiva on the other hand, like he had told her, had had numerous millennia to hone his abilities on top of the numerous wars Indra had started against him. Even in her Super Devil form she was at a complete disadvantage against him.
"Haaaah..." Rias sighed deeply, making Shiva look up at her as he asked,
"Do you realize the fruitlessness of your efforts now? If so then call the Dragon Emperor up here so he can fight me himself." Rias's brows twitched in irritation when she heard that, before she asked,
"What are you talking about? I'm just annoyed because I know I'll never hear the end of this from that stupid midget." For once Shiva actually appeared confused at Rias's word until he suddenly became alert as the hairs on his neck and arms started standing up.
While Rias's powers as a Super Devil were in fact suffocating to the average person, Shiva wasn't the strongest person in the world(barring existences like Ophis and Great Red) for no reason. However what he saw next would haunt him for years to come.
Out of nowhere the aura surrounding Rias suddenly began to multiply in size and intensity, while the power coming from her exploded until even he felt oppressed by it.
"W-what is this!?" He demanded with the closest thing to panic he had felt in thousands of years, to which Rias explained,
"One of the types of magics we learned in another world is called Evolution magic. Using it directly on our bodies, Alex turned us Devils into Super Devils, but it has a far more practical use. Forcibly, albeit temporarily, elevating our power to the next level." When he heard that Shiva paled at the implications of what Rias had said.
What she was describing was akin to the most basic function of the Boosted Gear, it's 'Boost'. Using it one could simply continue 'Boost'ing their strength until even a relatively normal person possessed the strength to challenge gods, which was exactly why it was considered a Longinus. The idea of people already on the scale of gods being able to do so as they wished was truly...terrifying.
Shiva witnessed this firsthand as Rias's power exploded until it far exceeded his own, making her the first person he had ever encountered that genuinely made him feel a sense of urgency and danger.
***
Sensing the sudden increase in Rias's power, Alex looked upwards towards where she and Shiva were before muttering to himself,
"So she's using that, huh? Let's hope she doesn't end up destroying the whole world in the process." Also looking up right next to him, Nyx similarly could help but to mutter,
"The fact that I once thought I could go against you all makes me realize how stupid I was..." Alex smiled wryly at her as he once again turned his attention towards the battlefield below them, where the girls were slowly but steadily carving their way through all of the combatants that Odin and the other gods had brought.
Despite the large number of opponents that they had already defeated, there were still hundreds of thousands of combatants left, if not more. Deciding to....speed things up a bit, Alex waved one of his hands to create numerous magics circles that shone brightly for a moment, before fading to reveal a number of new individuals dressed in maid attire.
"How may we be of service, great Dragon Emperor?" The head maid, Venri, asked while respectfully bowing towards Alex. With all of his maids(and the still mostly nȧkėd Katerea) awaiting his orders, Alex stated,
"I want you all to go and help the others to wrap up this battle. Don't worry about the big hitters, just help clean up the cannon fodder." While several of the maids displayed an eager smile at getting to join the battle, the most worrying one was a certain petite girl with a small pair of horns protruding rom the sides of her head.
"Does that mean I can cut them all up as I want?" The little one, Routier, asked eagerly while breathing heavily and holding up her new chainsaw, the one they looted from the battle with Darius that the Shinigami Grell Sutcliffe used.
Deadpanning at the little oni, Alex said,
"Only if you get permission from Grayfia or Venri." Though she looked noticeably sad at his answer, Routier had long since learned not to argue with Alex or the two aforementioned maids, otherwise she'd be the only one feeling the 'pain'.
With Routier being cowed and everyone else seeming excited to leap into battle, Venri then said as patch of green scales flashed across her skin,
"Well then, let's not keep our master waiting ladies!" With her receiving a series of cries of agreement, the combat maids launched themselves into battle as they threw themselves at the enemies.
Given permission to join the battle, the battalion of maids eagerly rushed forward towards their enemies. On their side the Pandora Stella, Arnett, Attia, Rana, Ticy, Chiffon, and Creo led the charge while Elizabeth supported them with her long range volt weapons. Meanwhile the former apostle Noint led the charge in a different direction with her eleven sisters in tow, half of which were carving a path forward with their blades, while the other half constantly spammed powerful spells thanks to the infinite supply of magic power from the cores in their hearts.
Leading the way up the front though was none other than Eri, the only one who could rival Lucy in terms of being a one person army as she summoned entire legions of monster corpses, that she carefully maintained in order to do battle. Marching within the legion of zombies was the gorgon Ishigami, the mixed breed youkai Mako, Yami's 'sisters' Mea and Nemesis, the demon race princess Francesca, the elven Princess Altina, and Grayfia's three newest recruits before Katerea, the mages Minerva, Meredy, and Ultear.
Of the maids though, the one most excited to join the battle was Nyx since she wanted to fight most of the gathered gods herself. In an instant an inky black darkness spread across the sky as Nyx's presence grew to encompass them all, and her voice boomed,
"FEEL THE POWER OF THE GODDESS OF DARKNESS! FEEL THE STRENGTH OF SHE WHO SERVES THE DRAGON EMPEROR!"
As if to punctuate her declaration, the dragonfied Venri then let out an ear shattering roar as she breathed a massive amount of fire out over the crowds. The sight of so many maids tearing their way through the battlefield was an awe inspiring sight for many, especially certain men of 'culture', but one thing that ruined it was the woman who had even been forced to join the battlefield almost completely nȧkėd, Katerea.
Unfortunately for her Katerea was still suffering her punishment for what she did to Venelana and Zeoticus, which usually wasn't that bad since she spent the majority of her time now in the space-time orb away from prying eyes, but the handful of times she had to leave the orb had been the most humiliating moments of her life. The current moment for example, no matter how many opponents she defeated, or how powerful her attacks were, all Alex and pretty much every single guy who noticed her could see was her violently shaking brėȧsts and ȧss. There had even been one moment when she had to perform a certain maneuver to avoid someone else's attack, allowing Alex and hundreds of other men to notice the ocean blue jewel tucked between her buŧŧ cheeks, making Alex wonder if Kuroka had been behaving mischievously behind his back again.
Whatever the reason for Katerea's sudden dėsɨrė to play with her ȧss, something else called for Alex's attention as he noticed two powerful beings approaching him. Though he thought this was weird due to how they seemed to be approaching him while being unimpeded by any of his women, Alex realized why this was the case as soon as he noticed who exactly it was that was approaching him.
"Teacher Wukong." Alex said as she stood and bowed his head respectfully to his former teacher, despite the fact that they were obviously about to do battle.
"It's nice to see that despite your position you'll still show respect to your teacher, usually this isn't the case when someone suddenly gains so much authority." Having witnessed this exact scenario happen numerous times, Wukong was genuinely glad to see Alex had not yet become as corrupt as some others might have in his position.
Alex however smile wryly, as he seemed to know what was going through his teacher's mind, and replied with a shrug,
"I'm plenty corrupt, just not when it comes to power." Wukong chuckled at Alex's remark as he looked out over the hundreds of women that were now fighting for him, all of which he didn't doubt his student was sleeping with. Though that was partially what he meant, what Alex was referring to specifically was how he didn't actually seek political power and authority.
However they weren't there to talk politics and personal corruption.
Though wasn't any noticeable signal both men readied themselves while the Dragon King that had arrived with Wukong, the Mischievous Green Dragon Yu-Long, wailed,
"Are we really doing this old man?! I don't want to fight the Dragon Emperor you know! This guy made even THAT Albion admit defeat!" Sighing in exasperation, Wukong looked down at his cowardly mount and asked,
"What kind of Dragon King are you to be so easily frightened and cowed?"
"A SMART ONE!" Yu-Long retorted indignantly, making his partner roll his eyes in annoyance, before a new cold yet sensual voice asked,
"So what does that make the rest of us then?"
"HIYAAAAAAAA!" Yu-Long shrieked when he saw the newcomer that he hadn't noticed approach, none other than the strongest of the five Dragon Kings, Tiamat.
"W-W-W-W-W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" The now genuinely scared Dragon King exclaimed in terror, making Tiamat give him a cold smirk as she remarked,
"The other two Dragon Kings that aren't aligned with the Dragon Emperor are here to do battle with him, did you really think I would miss out on such an opportunity to humiliate Ddraig?" With her smirk shifting to a sinister smile direct at Alex, the Boosted Gear materialized on his arm as Ddraig's voice sounded,
<Still Tiamat? We already repaid you after winning the Azazel Cup.>
As Ddraig said, Tiamat's grudge against him had to do with the fact that he had borrowed numerous treasures from her for his battle with Albion, and ended up losing them after he had been sealed into a Sacred Gear alongside his rival. Tiamat then hounded him and any possessor he had at the moment for centuries until Alex used the wish granted to the winner of the Azazel Cup to return them to her.
The light-blue haired Dragon King shrugged at his question and replied,
"Why not? I mean, you're even going around calling yourself the Emperor of all dragons now instead of just the red ones. Do you really think the rest of us wouldn't want to challenge you after that?" As she spoke an intense aura began to radiate from Tiamat's body, far surpassing the aura Alex had felt from any other dragons he had faced.
Meanwhile an earth-shattering roar deafened the entire battlefield as Miðgarðsormr sounded his intention to join the battle, before directing his massive head at Alex and the others that were together. Despite the overwhelming opponents arrayed before, again Alex flashed a fearless smile as he prepare to fight against the three Dragon Kings present, and the Monkey King himself.
Unfortunately, once again, there were apparently other plans as another new figure appeared, yet another dragon, but this time one from Alex's side.
"FOR MY LEIGE!" Bova roared as he appeared, before fearlessly turned to face Yu-Long, Miðgarðsormr, and even Tiamat, the ground beneath his feet glowing as it began to melt below him. Tiamat however looked slightly bemused at his appearance, and remarked,
"Bova, son of Tannin. So you intend to fight us as well?" Rather than appearing cowed by Tiamat as any other dragon might have, Bova met her gaze as he declared,
"If I can not ȧssist my lord here, then I do not deserve the honor of serving him!" Tiamat's smile widened at Bova's declaration as her own form began to grow, blue scales forming on her skin as a set of wings and a tail sprouted from her backside.
"SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE DRAGON!" She roared as she ȧssumed her own draconic form, before taking off after Bova as he flew towards Miðgarðsormr along with Yu-Long, where he intended to fight all three of the Dragon Kings at once.
As Bova departed with Tiamat and Yu-Long in tow Alex and Wukong turned their attention back towards each other, both noticeably anxious to start fighting. Before either attacked though, Alex held up a finger and said,
"One second. I don't want to fight the 'old man' Sun Wukong, I want to fight him at his strongest." Before Wukong could ask what Alex was talking about, he was surprised when his student snapped his fingers and a miraculous change overtook him.
Wukong watched dumbfoundedly as his body began to quickly grow larger, taking him from a wrinkled little old man, to someone in their early middle age in seconds. Along with his outward change though, he also felt his physical strength soar until it was akin to when he was in his prime. No, even then he was even stronger now than back then due to him retaining all of his energy training ever since his body began to deteriorate.
With Alex conjuring a mirror for him to look in, Wukong saw a face staring back at him that he hadn't seen in centuries, one with noticeably less wrinkles and golden-black hair instead of gray and silver. Meanwhile the baggy robes that he usually wore now seemed to fit properly instead of hanging loosely around his body, due to his muscle mass having increased notably.
"Is this for real...?" He asked in awe, to which Alex answered,
"Yep, it's a simple enough spell with one of the types of magic I've picked up. If you haven't noticed, someone did the same thing to Odin." Though they were supposed to be fighting, Wukong couldn't help but to admire his newfound youth for a few more seconds, until Alex continued,
"Soooo, you ready to fight yet? Or did you want to spend a few more minutes admiring yourself?" Jerking his attention away from the mirror, for a moment the old Monkey King resurfaced within Alex's teacher as Wukong flashed him a cheeky smile and remarked,
"Of course! Prepare for a spanking boy!" Both flashing cheeky smiles, the two monkeys had a brief second where they stared off against the other before they suddenly moved.
Instantly Wukong's own staff was in his hands as he extended it to deliver a series of high speed thrusts at Alex, only for the Saiyan to summon his own golden staff in turn.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The area around them was buffeted by a series of shockwaves as Alex used the end of his staff to perfectly hit the end of Wukong's staff during each of his thrusts, using the same exact amount of power Wukong used to deflect them. While that happened though, another Wukong appeared behind Alex to swing his staff at him from his blind spot, only for Alex to tilt his head at just the right angle to avoid it, without even looking back.
With his surprise attack failing to do anything to Alex, Wukong then halted his series of attacks before reaching up to rip out a handful of his own hair. Throwing them up into the air around him, Wukong then said,
"Let's see how you deal with an army of 'me's'!" As promised, the next moment each of the hairs shined brightly as they all turned into individual Wukongs, each one just as powerful and skilled as the original. Instead of appearing daunted though, Alex flashed yet another fearless smile as the fifty or so Wukongs descended upon him.
KACRASH!!!
As if the din of battle and chaos around them wasn't already bad enough, the combined might of roughly fifty Sun Wukongs delivering a full powered strike with their staves made the entire area around Mt Olympus shake violently, while the mountain itself began to crumble. Those around the mountain, and especially those who called it home, watched with undisguised horror as massive shards of rock splintered off the sides of it, while most horrifically was when the mountain itself split into several different sections.
At the center of the destruction of the now splintered mountain was Alex, standing tall and proud with his own staff raised to defend against them, despite the fifty or so Wukongs gaping at him in blatant shock after he took a full power strike from every single one of them at once.
"Truly a monster..." Wukong uttered in disbelief, making Alex's brow twitch as he remarked,
"You helped to make this 'monster', remember?" One of the Wukongs smiled at him when he said this, and replied,
"Indeed I do, and it is one of my greatest achievements." For a moment nothing happened as the two of them fondly recalled the days where Alex was Wukong's student, before they put their game faces on once more.
"My turn this time!" That was all the warning Wukong got before Alex's staff and arm suddenly blurred, and the next thing he knew he was surrounded by dozens of concussions as each and every one of his clones was destroyed before any of them were even able to react.
Buffeted by the shockwaves of Alex's attacks, it took Wukong all that he had not to be blown off of what remained of Mt Olympus as each of his clones were destroyed, only to open his eyes and see the tip of Alex's golden staff less than an inch from his nose.
"I win." Alex remarked with a cheeky smile, making Wukong stare blankly at him for a moment, before he too broke out in a smile.
"So it seems. Though, I dare say that neither of us are too surprised by this outcome, Monkey King." The moment the final two words left his teacher's lips Alex froze, before he asked incredulously,
"Are you serious?" Wukong nodded and said,
"Indeed, as my pupil you certainly have to right to inherit my title, and I dare say no one else is worthy enough to do so." Though his title as the 'Monkey King' had been passed on to his descendants centuries ago, as the original Wukong he still had the right to bestow it onto whomever he deemed worthy of it.
As if to show that was the case, Alex then received a notification stating that he had received the title 'Monkey King'. Normally when Alex received a title with word 'King' in it it would update to 'Emperor', but Lauren quickly explained to him that since it was a specific title and not a generic 'King' one, that wasn't the case.
"I am truly honored teacher." Alex said to Wukong, who waved away his sentiments while saying,
"I'd save the honors for later if I were you, or have you not noticed?" As he spoke, Alex looked up at the gathering of gods that had managed to avoid the brutal beating most of their brethren had received, and were preparing a massive amount of divine power with Thor at their head, despite having only recently recovered from Shia's earlier attack.
"Oh I've noticed alright, I'm just waiting for them to finish charging up." Rather than appearing stunned at Alex's words, Wukong instead began to laugh boisterously before he decided to lay down, and watch the next scene play out with complete faith in his best pupil.
Alex of course was eagerly awaiting what the gods had planned for him, which appeared to be them channeling as much divine power as possible into Thor's hammer Mjolnir for one decisive attack.
CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!
Overhead the sky crackled and rumbled as the amount of power being gathered into one area seemed to be reaching a breaking point, and yet they still poured more power into the divine hammer.
"THIS IS IT! OUR LAST CHANCE TO WIPE THAT SMIRK OFF OF HIS FACE!"
Thor roared along with the sky as he unleashed a blast of lightning so intense, so powerful, that it blinded everyone while also sending minor jolts of electricity arcing through the bodies of every single person present, despite the attack not even being anywhere close to them. The earth shook while the sky sounded as if it was being torn asunder, and while no one could see what was happening to Mt Olympus through the blinding light of Thor's attack, there was no doubt that the remains of the great mountain itself and all of the land around it had been vaporized under such an attack.
Or so they thought.
For several seconds the blinding light persisted, much longer than it should have, until confusion about the attack began to grow within those who couldn't see what was going on through the light. When it finally did start dying down though, what everyone saw stunned them more than anything else that happened that day.
Standing exactly where he was until the bolt of lightning was loosed, Alex seemed to be 'holding' the raw energy from the attack in his hands, but as the seconds passed they noticed it was steadily getting smaller. While no one else was able to tell what exactly Alex was doing, Odin's eye told him exactly what was happening as he watched the energy from the strongest attack they could muster flowing into Alex's body.
"You have got to be kidding me..." The elderly God muttered to himself, any thought of continuing trying to beat Alex and his wives now gone from his mind. Of course, that was even before he witnessed what happened next.
As Alex absorbed every last drop of the divine power in the attack, every single cell in his body felt as if it was full to the point of bursting with power, until he felt as if something within him changed.
"You might want to get some distance." Alex said to Wukong suddenly, making the old monkey quickly move away as the energy surrounding Alex began to intensify to frightening proportions, and took on a ruby red hue.
The spectators then watched in awe as winds began to pick up around Alex, blowing a cyclone into existence that encompassed only him, hiding Alex from everyone's view. Disembodied choir music began to play in some foreign language as the storm picked up in intensity, first freezing the area into snow scape before melting it, and then sending the surrounding temperature up as lightning arced around the storm once more.
Overhead the darkness of night suddenly gave way to the light of day, before night covered them once more, beginning a cycle that repeated itself several times over the next several minutes until the light overhead seemed to be moving in a blur.
Suddenly the cyclone around Alex began to collapse inward on itself as all of the phenomenon around them began to end, except for the disembodied music. When the clouds surrounding him finally dispersed they were all treated to a firsthand view of the affects of Alex's new appearance.
The most noticeable thing was that Alex's previously bright red fur had transitioned to a glowing shade of brilliant blue along with the rings around his eyes, while his pitch black hair was now a deep red that seemed to glow with a divine light. On a subtler note though, all of the extra bulk and height that Alex usually had whenever he used his SSJ4 transformation was gone, instead he actually appeared somewhat slimmer than usual.
Even with the choir music still blaring though, Alex shocked everyone from their stupor as he said in a fairly soft voice that still reached every corner of the battlefield,
"In case anyone doesn't understand what the Latin boss music meant, it roughly translates to 'you're all royalty fuċkėd'."
