Chapter 106: Limitless Lv5
Alex activated full power energy absorption. Large amounts of energy flowed from the Mother Box, which Alex absorbed and converted into energy points, then fed them into the system. The template fusion rate steadily increased.
Though Alex forcibly suppressed the Mother Box, he could still sense its resistance. It constantly tried to send out some signal, attempting to connect with something else.
Alex knew the Mother Box was trying to link with the other two Mother Boxes, but under the suppression of the runes engraved on the walls, these attempts were futile.
Looking at the Mother Box in his hand, Alex pondered. Unlike the Infinity Stones, the Mother Box could still function even outside the DC Universe, which meant it could be one of the foundations of a nascent universe.
With that thought, Alex opened his pocket dimension. Inside, the Eternal Flame and the Frost Casket formed a sun and land, and the energies of both fused under the influence of barriers, creating higher-tier energy.
This energy was limitless. Although not vast in quantity, it steadily enhanced the system's fusion rate.
Alex placed the Mother Box into his pocket dimension and engraved more complex runes around it. Using the barrier techniques from the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, he fully merged the Mother Box's energy with that of the Eternal Flame and Frost Casket, creating even higher-tier energy.
With this new, stronger energy, the pocket dimension rapidly expanded, soon reaching the size of a town. Even then, the expansion didn't stop.
However, halfway through the expansion, the pace suddenly slowed. Alex realized that his Lv4 Limitless Cursed Technique could no longer handle such a powerful space. If he forced control, the pocket dimension could collapse.
Alex frowned and opened the system panel to check the current experience points for the Limitless Cursed Technique:
Limitless Cursed Technique Lv4 (4856/5000): Capable of interfering with atomic-level matter and manipulating space. The closer an object is to the user, the slower it moves, and it will never be able to touch the user. Partial control over space is achieved.
Only 100 more experience points were needed to level up. There was still time.
"Stand back!" he warned the Amazon warriors and Catwoman behind him.
Once they were at a safe distance, Alex focused on stabilizing the pocket dimension while repeatedly activating the Limitless Cursed Technique, unleashing dense spatial slashes.
Experience points for the Limitless Cursed Technique steadily increased:
+1 experience point
+1 experience point
+1 experience point
...
After several minutes, as Alex struggled to control the continued expansion of the pocket dimension, the system sent a different notification:
+1 experience point
Congratulations! Your Limitless Cursed Technique has leveled up!
Limitless Cursed Technique Lv5 (3/20000): Capable of interfering with atomic-level matter and fully manipulating space. Objects near the user slow down considerably and can never touch the user. Has immense spatial manipulation powers!
A flood of information entered Alex's mind. At Lv5, the Limitless Cursed Technique underwent a tremendous transformation.
The range of its effect expanded from five meters to fifty meters in an instant.
Within this fifty-meter radius, Alex could now manipulate space with far greater precision and power. If the original spatial slashes were mere grass-cutting moves, they now had enough power to inflict serious harm on enemies as tough as the Hulk from the movies.
Moreover, Alex could fold space within this fifty-meter range or even expand it. The fifty-meter radius no longer adhered to traditional concepts—Alex could now stretch it to five kilometers or even fifty kilometers!
After the Limitless Cursed Technique leveled up, the space he had struggled to stabilize earlier finally settled down. Under the influence of immense energy, the pocket dimension continued to expand.
In the blink of an eye, the dimension grew beyond the size of a town, reaching that of a city. Eventually, its growth slowed but continued until it spanned a diameter of fifty kilometers.
Sensing the immense energy coming from the pocket dimension, Alex smiled in satisfaction. This energy was now enough to sustain his current needs and continue boosting the template fusion rate at the fastest speed possible.
However, Alex still needed to collect the other two Mother Boxes, not just for their energy but also to perfect his pocket universe.
Suddenly, Alex had a thought. Now that the pocket dimension could contain an entire island, could he move Themyscira into it, turning it into a floating island like Asgard?
In an instant, Alex vanished from where he stood and appeared above Themyscira. With his six eyes, he saw that a protective energy shield surrounded the island, isolating it from external prying eyes.
This was clearly a magical defense barrier.
Alex unleashed his energy at full force. Black and red lightning crackled around him as he deployed his domain!
In the next moment, his domain enveloped all of Themyscira, allowing him to extend his powers over every inch of the island.
Alex tore open a portal in the sky. As soon as it formed, it expanded rapidly. The Amazon warriors saw Alex disappear and rushed out of the temple to look for him, only to see the portal growing at an alarming rate in the sky.
In just a few moments, the portal was as large as Themyscira itself. The desolate landscape visible through the portal resembled an apocalypse, sending the Amazon warriors into a panic.
Catwoman, who had grown familiar with Alex's abilities, calmed the crowd: "This is just the boss's power. No need to worry."
Hearing her words, the Amazon warriors finally relaxed and looked up in awe at the immense portal looming over them like the sky itself.
After opening the portal, Alex unleashed a powerful gravitational pull. A black hole formed inside the pocket dimension, drawing in everything around it.
However, thanks to the barriers, the Eternal Flame, Frost Casket, and Mother Box were unaffected by the black hole's pull. The only thing being drawn in was Themyscira below!
Boom!
Under the immense gravitational force, Themyscira trembled violently. With a deafening boom, the island, along with a large amount of surrounding seawater, slowly rose into the sky.
Alex controlled the forces acting on Themyscira with vector manipulation to prevent it from disintegrating, while using gravity to steadily pull the island toward the portal.
The Amazon warriors were in disbelief as they watched. This godlike act reminded them of Zeus, but even Zeus could never perform such a feat. Alex had surpassed Zeus!
The foundation of Themyscira broke off from the Earth, and the island entered the portal, passing into the pocket dimension.
Once Themyscira was completely inside, Alex closed the black hole, sealed the portal, and entered the pocket dimension himself.
Moving Themyscira into the pocket dimension had been a tremendous drain on Alex's energy, leaving him panting heavily. But with the dimension's energy replenishing him, he quickly recovered.
He didn't stop there. Beneath Themyscira, Alex created several enormous portals, stabilizing them so that they would be sustained by the pocket dimension's energy. These portals would remain open permanently.
Water flowed out from one portal and fell into the sea through another, creating a continuous tidal cycle.
Alex engraved more runes, forming barriers that reflected the external sky inside the pocket dimension, creating an illusion of reality.
Standing above Themyscira, Alex nodded in satisfaction. The surrounding environment now looked exactly as it had originally, indistinguishable from the outside world.
This was now his stronghold, and one he could carry with him. However, a few steps remained—like pulling in a network cable. Even Kamar-Taj needed one, so the pocket dimension was no exception.
Returning to the ground, Catwoman ran up to Alex. Having just witnessed the entire process, she couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what did you just do?"
Hippolyta followed closely behind her, also staring at Alex. Although the surroundings looked identical, she knew that Themyscira had undergone a major transformation. As Queen of the Amazons, she was eager to know the full extent of these changes.
By moving Themyscira into his pocket dimension, Alex had taken a giant step forward in building his own world, reaching the level of Asgard. In a good mood, he smiled and explained to the women, "I've moved Themyscira into a space I created and set up various barriers to maintain the island's functionality. It's now a completely independent, self-sustaining small world."
The women were shocked. Even Catwoman, who knew Alex better than anyone, was stunned.
She had always known he was powerful, but she hadn't realized he could create entire spaces—a feat that only mythological gods were supposed to accomplish!
Unlike Catwoman, Hippolyta had broader knowledge as the Amazon queen. She understood the significance of creating a space. Not even the god-king Zeus could achieve such a feat!
When Zeus originally planned to establish Themyscira, he had hoped to create a space for the Amazons to live in, but since he couldn't, he had settled for a magical protective barrier instead.
But now, Alex had accomplished something even Zeus couldn't. Coupled with the power to lift an island, it was clear Alex's strength surpassed that of the god-king himself.
This realization filled Hippolyta with despair. She immediately abandoned her plans to free the Amazons from Alex's control and prayed that Diana wouldn't come searching for Themyscira. If she did, she would surely fall into this demon's hands as well.
In the following days, Alex created several portals connecting Themyscira to the outside world and continued to strengthen the island's barriers.
While stabilizing the barriers and strengthening the world, he felt a sense of inadequacy. The barrier techniques from the Jujutsu Kaisen universe were insufficient to maintain the operation of an entire world—he needed more knowledge.
His Lv4 Limitless Cursed Technique allowed him to access the knowledge in others' minds, so Alex ventured out and extracted the knowledge of several scientists, which helped him enhance the barrier. However, it still wasn't enough.
Recognizing this problem, Alex planned to visit other worlds to acquire more knowledge about barrier techniques, such as the barrier arts from the Naruto universe or the formation techniques from cultivation worlds.
In addition to this, through constantly absorbing energy, the template fusion rate reached 60%, unlocking a new ability!
