"Swish!" In an instant, Robert's figure vanished from Kamar-Taj and reappeared near the Corruption Lord. One energy blast shot towards the Corruption Lord, while another blasted the ground of the Alien Dimension.
"Boom!"
The sudden appearance of two energy blasts stunned both the Corruption Lord and the other alien lords. They had assumed that Robert had self-destructed when he vanished, especially since the space had been sealed. They believed that even if Robert had somehow survived outside, there was no way he could re-enter the Alien Dimension under the spatial lockdown.
What these dimensional powerhouses didn't know was that, despite the Alien Dimension sealing the space, it could not prevent Robert from using Instant Transmission. This technique was not space magic from their universe but a unique ability tied to "Ki." Unless the Alien Dimension could block Robert's perception of "Ki," sealing him was impossible.
Caught off guard, the Corruption Lord and the alien lords were stunned, particularly the Corruption Lord. After Robert's suspected self-destruction, the alien lords had begun pressuring the Corruption Lord to compensate for the damages caused to the Alien Dimension. Alone, the Corruption Lord was no match for the alien lords, especially on their home turf. He was just about to negotiate compensation when Robert launched his sneak attack.
"Cough, cough!" The Corruption Lord's body was blown to pieces, scattering blood all over the Alien Dimension. The tainted blood further polluted the ground and corrupted numerous alien creatures, making them even more hideous. However, no matter how much they mutated, their appearance still couldn't compare to the revolting looks of the Corruption Lord.
Yes, even in a dimension known for its grotesque creatures, the Corruption Lord's appearance stood out as truly nauseating. While the Alien Dimension's inhabitants were hideous by human standards, the Corruption Lord was grotesque enough to make people want to vomit just by looking at him. This was why Robert, despite favoring close combat, had avoided any melee fights with the Corruption Lord.
"Dammit!" The Corruption Lord seethed with rage, and so did the alien lords. The two energy blasts Robert unleashed this time were far more destructive than all his previous attacks combined.
This was due to Robert exploiting the unique nature of Instant Transmission and "Ki." It worked similarly to Goku's Instant Transmission Kamehameha from the Cell Saga. If not for plot armor and Cell receiving a buff, Goku might have killed Cell with that move.
Though Robert wasn't using the Kamehameha, the energy blast he was charging was much more powerful than his usual attacks. It was naturally far stronger than the techniques he had used previously.
Otherwise, a powerful entity like the Corruption Lord wouldn't have been so badly injured. Even now, he still hadn't managed to fully reconstitute his body.
"Attack! We can't let him continue destroying this place!" The six alien lords made up their minds to personally intervene. This time, they attacked together, further locking down space and appearing simultaneously around Robert, launching a coordinated strike.
Although the alien lords were not on good terms with each other, much like the hell lords, they had to temporarily unite against this external invader. Robert's continued destruction of the Alien Dimension posed a significant threat to all of them. A weakened Alien Dimension could easily become prey for surrounding dimensions.
"Heh, space sealing again? Haven't you learned your lesson?" Seeing the six alien lords surrounding him, Robert smirked. His figure vanished instantly from the encirclement.
"Boom!" The next moment, Robert reappeared behind one of the alien lords and kicked him away, following it up with a direct energy blast.
"Zing!" The blast pierced through the alien lord's body, pinning him to the ground of the Alien Dimension.
"Huh? How did he get out?!" The remaining alien lords were shocked. They hadn't seen Robert move, and with the space sealed, he shouldn't have been able to teleport. Even using pure speed would have been nearly impossible. Yet, Robert had somehow done it, baffling the alien lords.
"With you all acting as anchors, I don't even need to return to Kamar-Taj to reset my position…" While the remaining five alien lords were still in shock, Robert's body vanished again.
"Boom!"
"Watch out!"
"Boom!"
"Damn it!"
"Zing!"
Robert's figure kept flickering throughout the Alien Dimension, striking down one alien lord after another. Soon, all six alien lords were injured, casting wary glances at Robert.
Although they still couldn't understand how Robert was doing it, they began to realize that they weren't his match, and their attempts to restrict him had been futile.
In terms of raw power, the alien lords were not much weaker than Robert. If they managed to surround him properly, Robert would still feel some pressure.
However, Instant Transmission, when used effectively in battle, was a game-changer. While speed could be countered, Instant Transmission was far beyond simple speed. It was a divine skill capable of altering the course of a fight.
Unless Robert's opponent was vastly stronger, with faster reflexes, capable of following his teleportation and surpassing his attack speed, there was little they could do to counter his Instant Transmission.
"Swish!" While the alien lords were still recovering from their shock, Robert disappeared once more, throwing them into a state of panic. They scanned their surroundings but found no trace of him.
"Wait, what's this?" Doctor Doom swallowed nervously when Robert suddenly appeared next to him, hands glowing with a terrifying energy blast. He could sense that the energy in Robert's hands could even break the sanctum's defenses.
"Relax, I'm just passing through. I'm planning something big!" Robert grinned, shaking his head. He wasn't aiming at the six alien lords with this Instant Transmission Kamehameha. After all, killing alien lords in their own dimension was exceedingly difficult.
The alien lords were linked to the essence of the Alien Dimension. Unless Robert could sever that connection or deplete the dimension's energy, killing them would be nearly impossible. Instead, Robert decided to focus on the Corruption Lord.
He had sensed earlier that the Corruption Lord wasn't just ugly but also possessed a truly disgusting ability. Even when wounded, he continued to corrupt everything around him. Robert thought the Corruption Lord should be called the "Plague and Poison Lord" instead.
However, the Corruption Lord's name didn't matter much to Robert. The battlefield was not in the Earth Dimension, so Robert considered using the Corruption Lord's own powers against him—possibly unleashing his toxins and corrosion into the Alien Dimension to deplete some of its source energy and attention.
"Swish!" As Robert's energy blast grew so powerful that even Doctor Doom and the others instinctively moved to distance themselves, Robert once again vanished.
"Hello, and goodbye." Robert appeared near the Corruption Lord, who had only just barely reconstituted his body and was reabsorbing his toxins. Smiling warmly, Robert caused the Corruption Lord's heart to skip a beat. When he noticed the Kamehameha forming in Robert's hands, panic consumed him.
"Boom!" The explosion engulfed the Corruption Lord, causing the Alien Dimension to tremble. This wasn't the only landmass in the Alien Dimension, but it was larger than Asgard and even planets, and now it was crumbling apart.
Worse, as the landmass collapsed and the energy blast spread, a wave of poison began spreading across the Alien Dimension, quickly seeping into other landmasses.
"This can't continue! We have to stop him!" The six alien lords exchanged resolute glances and began merging into one being.
"What is this?" Robert's eyes flashed with surprise as he watched the alien lords merge. He wasn't the only one astonished; other dimensional powerhouses were equally shocked by this unexpected move. No one had known that the alien lords could merge into one.
Previously, the alien lords were as antagonistic towards each other as the hell lords. Though the Alien Dimension was smaller than Hell, no one doubted that the alien lords had a similar dynamic of constant rivalry. Dimensional creatures were inherently greedy, seeking to claim all power for themselves, never sharing.
Now, these powerhouses had to reconsider their understanding of the alien lords' relationships. Some even wondered whether the alien lords had always been a single entity disguised as six.
However, Robert, who could clearly sense the alien lords' energy, knew this wasn't the case. The merged entity's aura wasn't that of a single being, but rather the will of the Alien Dimension itself.
Yes, at this moment, the alien lords had become nothing more than vessels for the will of the Alien Dimension!
Unlike the Dark Lord, who fully controlled the Dark Dimension and could even manipulate its fabric, the Alien Dimension's will was far superior to its creatures. Yet, much like the Earth Dimension, it lacked a true physical form. Thus, it could only descend into the fused bodies of the alien lords.
"You... Damn you!" The Alien Dimension's will opened its eyes, tendrils flailing around its face. Its icy voice echoed in Robert's ears, and he immediately sensed a shift in the surrounding forces.
Before, Robert had only felt the spatial pressure, but now he faced the true power and laws of the Alien Dimension itself.
"Swish!" Faced with this assault, Robert had no intention of standing his ground. In a flash, he left the Alien Dimension.
"Boom!" Invisible tentacles smashed into the space where Robert had just stood, cracking the fabric of reality. But Robert had long since disappeared, leaving the Alien Dimension's
attack wasted on empty air.
"He ran again? What is this technique? There's no spatial energy fluctuation... Could he be using the very laws of space itself?" The will of the Alien Dimension stared at the spot where Robert vanished, filled with confusion. "But I don't sense any conflict with the dimension's laws... Hm?"
After pondering for a moment without finding an answer, the will shifted its gaze towards the collapsing landmass and the toxic gases spreading across the Alien Dimension.
"Hmph! I may not be able to stop him, but I can stop you!" The Alien Dimension's will flashed coldly, opening a massive invisible maw and swallowing the poison, along with the residual energy from the explosion.
"Pop!" Moments later, a mass of decayed green flesh, wrapped in countless tendrils, floated into view. It was the broken body of the Corruption Lord.
He had barely survived Robert's attack by playing dead, but now he found himself the target of the Alien Dimension's will.
