"So you are finally here."

The fight happening around them ceased as they saw Alex making his way.

Jack stood out the most and faced Alex giving him a menacing gaze.

The mana condensing and burning from his body was terrifying enough to astonish those who looked at him. It was like a volcano that was on the verge of exploding.

Alex halted in his steps and stared at the person wondering about his intentions.

Swish!

Jack's body disappeared from Alex's sight.

The dragon in humanoid form, reached right in front of him in such an instant and wielded his claws that he pulled out at him in an instant without slight hesitation.

Even then, without moving his body, Alex looked at the man with a languid calm expression.

The moment when Jack's claws finally reached in front of Alex's neck.

Jack's eyes widened, as it passed through Alex's throat and his eyes widened with horror as he found out that this was just an afterimage left behind by Alex.

The lightning-fast movements surprise him to the core.

It was then.

TAP!

He felt a small tap on his shoulder but this was enough to distort his vision and question his entire existence.

BAAM!

Like a meteorite, his knees slammed on the ground creating a huge shock wave. The ground cracked and the whole building started to tremble.

The world reflected in Jack's eyes had turned pure white and when his vision finally returned, he found himself kissing the cold ground.

"How...Why?"

"Your strength is just a bit more than the Overlord stage, so why is there such a difference?"

Jack muttering in disbelief raised his head to see Alex's expression.

An amusing smile crept over Alex's lips as Jack's dark gaze met him.

Alex folded his hands behind his back and circled Jack with slow steady steps.

"Grandpa Jack, is this the funniest question anyone has asked?"

"Grandpa, you are so experienced so you should have researched about me a bit."

"Huh...What do you mean?"Jack muttered in disbelief and on looking around he found everyone staring at him sympathetically.

They knew this shithead was gonna create trouble for newbies but this time this guy's luck was bad as he found Alex.

They had already burnt incense in his name.

Alex spoke with a smile"This is a second body that follows another method of the power structure."

"If you had faced my real body, you would have been killed with just a mere gaze of mine."

Jack's eyes widened with horror. He did not want to believe this. A mighty majestic dragon was forced to kneel with just a step.

This was unbelievable.

So saying that he could be killed with a single glance, what kind of confidence is this?

Alex chuckled seeing his expression and spoke.

"Nothing is impossible. I just thrashed over a couple of Gods in the dimensional crack. If you have some doubts, you can visit hell. My other body had taken over hell. I can transfer you to hell."

"What?"

"What?"

"It was now everyone's turn to surprise."

Saintess Penelope almost shrieked"You have taken over hell, but how?"

"No, why did you take over hell?"Vermouth asked curiously.

Seeing everyone's expression, Alex walked towards the round stone table that had many cracks over it.

Alex took his seat and following him others sat down.

After everyone settled themselves, Alex explained what happened previously and what was going on in this world currently.

"Damn it. We knew those bastards were gonna attack us but things are developing too fast."Avalon shouted.

"We attacked that asshole and dealt great damage but even after this, they are over us. It seems that they are just tools for the God Of Darkness to achieve their goals. He doesn't care what happens to them. Disgusting bastard."Hindell curses.

Avalon sighed and massaged his temples.

"Due to Kevin's words, I have been conserving Harold's strength and only let some minor clashes happen with Kinley to divert other's attention from us. But even after this, our army is no match for them."

"We are restricted in our strength," Mezov spoke with a frown.

"All the major dragons in my clan are at the peak of the Overlord realm. The newborn ones are at the Transcendent level. Others range between Overlord and Transcendent levels depending on their age. I am the only person at the Demi-God level except for our clan protector Dryad."

"Is your strength on par with the five protectors?"Alex asked.

"Nahhh!"Jack answered, swallowing his vain pride.

"Five protectors are different. They have taken an oath to protect us that's why Goddesses blessed them with power allowing them to rival Pseudo God and True God."Jack answered.

"In doing so they can't take part in world affairs and only respond when the world is threatened. The real reason for making a treaty pertains to this."Jack muttered.

"Since we are greatly limited, we decided to come up with a way that will lessen the casualties with the top powerhouse. We can't allow them to fight and get killed worthlessly. We teach them groom them and once they became stronger and capable enough they can become Protectors but since times, only 5 had been able to step in."Hindell spoke with a sigh.

"Why didn't Grandpa Jack become a protector?"

"I can as long as I want. I don't want to stop there now."Jack spoke.

As the discussion became serious, Penelope muttered"It can't go on like this. Their Army is stronger. Our foundation is weak. They have hundreds of True Gods but we have not. We are at a grave advantage. We are at the mercy of Goddesses if we can ask them to remove the limit and bless many."

"I have a way for that," Alex spoke with a smile.

Following his words a deep silence lingered for a moment.

"Really?"Everyone screamed in shock at the same time.

"Yes!"

Alex, who was about to explain, was interrupted by a ringing sound.

Penelope frowns seeing her staff glowing brightly.

She held it embarrassingly and her expression changed.

"What happened?"The others asked.

"The Five Protectors wanted to meet Alex."
