The engineer and the immortal cockroach
"Where do you think you're going, you motherfucker?" Mandus' face distorted
Alexander was surprised for a moment, but quickly regained his calm.
Alexander looked around curiously. "This seems to be an illusion, not a dream."
Mandus raised an eyebrow. "How did you realize that?"
"Because I wouldn't dream of a bastard like you." Alexander smiled sarcastically
"..." Mandus did not reply
Alexander continued. "It seems that you still like to exploit other people's weaknesses and regrets, the Engineer."
Mandus replied with an emotionless face. "And I see you're still hiding behind that stupid smile."
"Well...we all have our circumstances. This is my last defense to preserve my humanity so that I don't become like you." Alexander looked at the engineer mockingly
The engineer did not answer
Alexander slapped the engineer's hand. "How did you get out of the seal?"
"There is a strange force that has penetrated your soul. This has caused the seals that bind me to shake, allowing me to enter this illusion." The engineer answered indifferently
Alexander narrowed as he looked deeply at the engineer controlling Mandus' body
The engineer's words indicated that the seals had become weaker and could no longer completely restrain him
If the engineer is freed, a disaster will occur in this world
The engineer smiled when he saw Alexander immersed in his thoughts, and said in a low voice. "It's only a matter of time, you won't be able to stop me then."
Alexander looked at the ground silently
"I don't know how you survived that disaster. You deserve the title of immortal cockroach."
Alexander's eyes trembled when he heard this Title
This title was a disgrace to him
He was one of the most powerful entities in the multiple worlds and had reached the level of Demi-Great One, yet everyone called him the immortal cockroach.
Alexander felt very insulted
Why does everyone have cool Titles while I have such an insulting Title?
Titles are given by others
If you are the best at using a sword, they will call you a Sword Saint
If you are good at using all the elements of nature, people will call you the Emperor of the Elements
Therefore, a person cannot choose his title, but it is given by others
As for Alexander, he is known as the Immortal Cockroach due to the legends spread about him in the multiple worlds
He went through many confrontations and dangerous situations, which he survived every time
Everyone knew that supernatural entities were chasing him everywhere
But Alexander was able to escape from them
Therefore, one of his enemies gave him the Title "The Cockroach" because he is difficult to kill
After that, this Title began to spread around. Then some people changed this name to the 'immortal cockroach'
Because they consider it disrespectful to give the name cockroach to someone who has reached the level of Demi-Great One
So they added the word 'immortal' to make it more appropriate
Alexander was stunned when he heard this
What nice people they are
But...should I be happy about this?
He tried to get rid of this title, but it was to no avail
This is what made this title his weak point
The engineer's smile widened when he saw that Alexander's face was not good
whispered the engineer. "The seal is getting weaker, you won't be able to stop me."
"Do you really think you'll be free?" Alexander said in a stern tone
The engineer's look became crazier. "Even though you survived, your soul has become weaker and that bastard Molesh is not by your side this time. All that is stopping me now are those seals, which are getting weaker with time."
Alexander's expression twitched for a moment
He knew the engineer was telling the truth
He carries a time bomb inside his soul
If this bomb explodes, it could destroy this world
He knows what an engineer can do, so they added the word immortal to make it more appropriate
Alexander went when he heard this
What nice people they are
But...should I be happy about this?
He tried to get rid of this title, but it was to no avail
This is what made his title his weak point
The engineer's smile widened when he saw that Alexander's face was not good
whispered the engineer. "The seal is getting weaker, you won't be able to stop me."
"Do you really think you'll be free?" Alexander said in a stern tone
The engineer's look became crazier. "Even though you survived, your soul has become weaker, and that bastard Molesh is not by your side this time. All that is stopping me are those seals, which are getting weaker with time."
Alexander's expression twitched for a moment
He knew the engineer was telling the truth
He carries a time bomb inside his soul
If this bomb explodes, it could destroy this world
He knows what an engineer can do and that's what makes him anxious
"What a pain in the ass." Alexander shook his head
When will he be relieved of this damned past?
Space began to distort around him
The engineer's smile disappeared. "It seems that our little meeting has come to an end. But we will meet again soon."
Alexander looked coldly at the engineer
The place became dark
When Alexander opened his eyes to find himself outside the garden
How did he get out of there?
Alexander sighed tiredly
This illusion was heavy for Alexander because it brought back memories that he had buried deep
Whether it was the event that changed his life or meeting the engineer, he did not want to go through any of these experiences because of the pain he felt
Alexander began walking towards the palace with heavy steps
-----------------
Alexander entered the palace with his head lowered
All the servants noticed that Alexander was not in a good mood so they did not disturb him
They realize that Alexander has been going through difficult times lately
And currently he is being chased by a haunted spear
So they understood why he was in a bad mood
Only Alfred looked at Alexander suspiciously
He knew that Alexander was not disturbed by the haunted spear
Because he was watching Alexander the whole time and saw that he was not afraid or bothered by the spear
Instead, Alexander was behaving friendly with the spear and trying to become friends with the ghost
What happened to make him so sad?
Was he hiding his sadness all the time, but he started to feel tired of all this burden?
Alfred's eyes became sad when he thought about what Alexander was going through
I must do my best to entertain him
Alfred went to prepare the tea that Alexander loved
----------------
| Investigations are still underway to uncover the circumstances of the murder of businessman Mendez and his family...|
Alexander sat in the living room watching TV
People didn't like watching the news, but a lot of interesting and strange things happened recently, which helped raise the viewership rate
This is what Alexander read in one of the articles published on the Internet
"…" These bastards were making a fortune because of the things I do
While I am broke and do not have a penny in my pocket
Fuck capitalism. I want a percentage of the profits
Alexander bit his lip
Alfred placed the cup of tea in front of Alexander and looked at the television with a frown. "This damned criminal is still free."
Alexander looked at Alfred with an unreadable expression
damned criminal?
Was this old man insulting me?
Alfred noticed Alexander looking at him
He must be worried about the brutal murder. "Don't worry, young master. I'm sure this rat will be caught and will rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life."
Alfred's words were trying to reassure Alexander
But Alexander looked at Alfred with a blank expression
rat?
Alfred, you are starting to cross the limits
Alexander threw the tea cup on the carpet
"Oops, my hand slipped." Alexander smiled innocently
"..." You obviously did this intentionally
Alfred didn't know what suddenly happened to Alexander
But he knew that Alexander had sudden seizures that made him act strangely
Alfred shook his head
He went to call one of the servants to clean
Ah, that's better
Alexander knew this was a trivial act, but he was satisfied
He would tolerate it if he was insulted once
But this old servant cursed him twice and will continue to curse him if he does not stop him
Alexander got up and went to the bathroom
Alexander opened the door to find the Dragon Blood Spear there
"..." This spear was following him everywhere
"I know you love me, but I hope you don't overdo it."
Alexander was unfazed by the spear appearing everywhere he went, but he began to feel uncomfortable as time passed
Especially since the spear would suddenly appear in places like the bathroom while he was showering
Or next to his bed when he is sleeping
This was disturbing for him because it invaded his privacy
Alexander tried to convince the spear not to follow him when he entered the bathroom, but the spear was stubborn
Sigh, this spear seemed to be a tsundere and a pervert at the same time
