The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 104

Chapter 104

In a dazed, dreamlike state, Alex felt his entire body remold itself, each cell painstakingly perfected.

It was like being reborn.

A flicker of awe sparked within him-this, he understood, was the true gift of reaching level 100: a piece of immortality embedded into his very being.

But with that rush of power came a flood of memories he had long forgotten. Images of a childhood scene drifted back to him, hazy at first.

He saw himself, small and wide-eyed, walking alongside his mother.

Her face remained blurred, as though time had smudged the details.

They were on a gleaming, futuristic aircraft-its metal corridors polished to a mirror shine, reflecting lights that felt too bright, too sterile.

Suddenly, the entire vessel lurched.

The doors slammed open, and Imperial soldiers poured in, weapons raised- messengers of looming chaos.

About ten of his mother's guards surged into action, forming a protective ring around them, their faces set with grim determination.

"General Maxmilian," his mother demanded, voice cutting through the clamor like a blade, “what is the meaning of this?" The general offered a polite smile that never reached her eyes. "For your safety, Princess. I strongly advise you to surrender. It'll save everyone unnecessary pain-especially you and the little prince."

His mother's gaze turned lethal, burning with betrayal. "Of all people..." she whispered, disbelief underscoring her fury.

“Don't blame me,” The general laughed. “For some, loyalty is a bond stronger than steel. For others, it is a coin tossed in the air, easily spent."

One of the royal guards, Keaton-an older man in Alex's resurfaced memory- stepped forward, anger etched into his features.

"You, General Maxmilian? The Crown Prince entrusted you to protect us."

A cold smirk twisted Maxmilian's lips. He raised a hand in a silent command. "Ideals can't outweigh coin. His mistake not paying me enough. Seize them." "Don't you dare!" roared Keaton.

In a heartbeat, weapons were drawn, and all hell broke loose. Flashes of violent energy collided in the confined space, bathing the hall in strobing lights.

Even through memory, Alex felt a jolt of fear-everyone fighting was at least level 100, and the raw force of their power rattled the entire ship.

Amid the frenzied battle, Maxmilian unleashed a colossal punch. yet Keaton lunged to intercept, steel blade colliding with his fist in a thunderous impact.

Elsewhere, Maxmilian's lieutenant, Paolo, slipped through the chaos like a shark in dark waters.
