Ancient Emperor Story.

"AGH..." A deafening roar reverberated through the entire cave, emanating from the colossal statue. Alex didn't waste a second before launching an attack at the statue. Fearful of the unknown, he didn't wish to engage in conversation with the entity, unleashing his powerful technique to shatter it.

"I'll dare you, you idiotic mortal being," the statue's voice boomed, though it was without the intent to kill. Alex was trembling but chose not to risk his life in a conversation with an enigmatic entity.

"Okay, we're getting out of here," Alex said as he grabbed Botoz and swiftly left the cave. His speed was incredible, but he hesitated to leave entirely. He felt an unexplainable desire to understand more about the being within the statue.

"No, no, please stay. It's okay. Everyone would attack me when they saw me. I'm very nice. Please stay here," the entity's voice softened, pleading for Alex's return. This unexpected change took Alex by surprise, and he pondered why this entity might want something from him.

"What are you?" Alex asked, curious but cautious, as he wanted to learn more but remained on guard.

"My name is Emperor Hongtu Mo. I belong to an ancient race that was defeated by a Destroyer Race. I need your help to escape from this place as I've been sealed here for a very long time," Hongtu Mo's voice transformed into a sage-like tone. He gazed at Alex as though he were guiding a youngling trying to find his way.

Alex sensed that Hongtu Mo's story was likely a fabrication, but he decided to play along and listen.

"Really? That's so sad. Can you tell me the whole story, Hongtu Mo? Maybe I can help you," Alex replied, sitting on the ground as if he were a child eager to hear a story from an elder.

Hongtu Mo was taken aback because he expected humans to immediately release him upon hearing his voice. He hadn't anticipated a human willingly listening to his story, and this left him in a bind as he had no story to share.

"Alright, let me tell you a story about 15,000 years ago, about my world, Homgmo Jie. It was a beautiful and harmonious world where all races lived together peacefully. But then, something happened."

As Hongtu Mo recounted his tale, Alex grew more and more confused. He couldn't quite understand if this was an elaborate act or if it was real. The story began to sound more like a narrative about the introduction of modern weaponry to a world. He was being engrossed in this world more and more but wss getting frustrated on how almost every ancient ancestor people in this world liked to stop and look around when they were recounting their story, like every single one of them thought people who they were telling the story to were some dumb, He also didn't want to fasten the story as it would come out very rude Alex sat there cursing Hongtu Mo for stopping when he was getting to the best part, Alex would definetely punch him if he had the chance for doing that, Alex would punch everyone who liked to stop like this, He sighed and Waited Hongtu Mo To continue, but he was really confused right now, If this story was wrong why did it seem like actual real thing or why was this guy such a best actor, or why would his instincts tell him this story was actually real, Alex cpuld not understand this, He trusted his instinct but not at the point of beliving a story like this, Only thing was left to let Hongtu Mp tell his story and decide if he wod unseal him which was less likely but nobody knew what wpuld happen in the future, Alex waited patiently for him to finish his story finally.

"Destroyer Race, a name lost to history, invaded our world, aiming to conquer and enslave everyone. We fought valiantly, but they had weapons capable of annihilating us instantly," Hongtu Mo continued, his tone expressing anger and determination.

Alex began to suspect that the so-called "weapons" were actually modern technology, akin to the firearms he had seen in this world. His earlier theories appeared to be correct, and he felt inclined to let Hongtu Mo proceed with his story, which was growing more engrossing by the moment.

"Years passed, and we fled our world in search of help. But the Destroyer Race pursued us relentlessly. We jumped from world to world, but eventually, we were eradicated, and I was sealed in this place. You see how dire our situation was? These people are my subordinates who sealed me here. We're the last of our race, and we seek revenge against the Destroyer Race in the future. Please, unseal us. We are innocent and desire only to exact our vengeance," Hongtu Mo pleaded, his voice brimming with emotion.

"I can't believe your story has made me mad, too. Of course, I'll unseal you," Alex said, pretending to fall for the act. Hongtu Mo rejoiced, believing his ruse was working.

However, as Alex approached one of Hongtu Mo's subordinates, the entity's voice grew frantic.

With a sly grin, Alex activated his powerful technique, the "[Space Shatter Fist (3 Shatter)]," and struck the statue. It shattered into pieces, with Hongtu Mo's furious voice echoing in the background.

"YOU FUCKER! WHY DID YOU DO THAT? I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Alex, however, was too absorbed in the aftermath to pay attention to the entity's angry rant. He was looking at his hand and reveling in the bizarre outcome. A system prompt suddenly appeared.
