"Don't kill me! I still have value. I can compensate for the losses the Alien Dimension suffered!" The Corruption Lord, now ensnared by the invisible tendrils, felt a terrifying sense of life-threatening danger—far more intense than when Robert had fired his Kamehameha-style blast at him. His voice, trembling with fear, called out desperately.
"It's not necessary. The laws within you are more than enough compensation!" The Alien Dimension's consciousness showed no mercy. The tendrils tightened, starting to extract the very essence and laws that comprised the Corruption Lord's body.
Indeed, the Corruption Lord had some strength worth absorbing. As his power was drained, even the previously invisible tendrils turned faintly green. Meanwhile, the Corruption Lord's body shrank smaller and smaller until he finally vanished completely.
"The Corruption Dimension certainly has its merits. Perhaps I can evolve new alien creatures using its power. Who knows, I might even be able to invade the Corruption Dimension itself." As the Alien Dimension's consciousness absorbed the Corruption Lord's power, its eyes gleamed with newfound ambition.
"Boom!" However, before the Alien Dimension could act on its plans, Robert appeared once more within the dimension. Without hesitation, he unleashed another Instant Transmission Kamehameha directly at the Alien Dimension's new physical vessel.
A terrifying explosion followed, shaking the dimension. But this time, before the destruction could spread, the invisible tendrils absorbed the blast, containing most of the damage.
"You have some nerve!" Even though the destruction was minimized, the Alien Dimension's consciousness seethed with fury. The dimension couldn't handle much more of this constant assault. The six alien lords had fused into the consciousness's physical body precisely to prevent further destruction, but Robert continued his attacks unimpeded.
"Buzz!" In the instant the explosion stopped, a terrifying pressure from the dimension's laws descended upon Robert, trying to trap and kill him.
But it was useless. Once again, Robert's body vanished. Even after repeated attempts, the Alien Dimension's consciousness still couldn't decipher Robert's ability.
"Suppress the entire dimension! If he shows up again, we might not be able to stop him, but we can at least minimize the damage!" With Robert gone, the Alien Dimension's consciousness shifted its power across the entire dimension.
"He's back!"
"And now he's gone..."
Back in Kamar-Taj, the students watched Robert's sudden appearance and disappearance with an air of calm. At first, they had feared Robert's energy blasts might destroy all of Kamar-Taj, but after witnessing it so many times, they had grown indifferent.
"He's appeared!" In the Alien Dimension, Robert suddenly materialized again. This time, the Alien Dimension's consciousness detected his presence immediately. But to its surprise, Robert had appeared on a different landmass, not the one he had just bombed.
Robert appeared directly in front of an alien creature, leaving the consciousness scrambling to intervene. It managed to reduce the casualties, but many aliens still died in the blast.
The surviving aliens trembled in fear, their tentacles twitching uncontrollably. To them, Robert was a terrifying invader, mercilessly slaughtering them without reason. They had done nothing wrong—they were just enjoying their lives in their homeland, innocent alien creatures!
"Damn it! Saiyan! What do you want? Are you really going to force a fight to the death? If so, don't blame me for unleashing my dimension's full power and waging total war on the Earth Dimension!" The consciousness, realizing it could not fully contain Robert, spoke angrily. For the first time, it seemed willing to negotiate.
"Oh? You're not attacking anymore? I'm not done playing!" Robert grinned, another energy blast forming in his hand. "To be honest, I love destruction. On Earth, I have to hold back my instincts, but here, I can finally let loose. I'm starting to enjoy myself."
"How about this? Go ahead, bring your dimension down to Earth, and let's see if I can completely destroy it. How about that?" Robert's smile was calm, but his words sent chills through the consciousness.
"Are you crazy?!" The Alien Dimension's consciousness was stunned. It had encountered many strong beings from Earth, but never one as reckless as Robert. He sounded less like a guardian of Earth and more like its greatest enemy, seemingly eager to see the Earth Dimension destroyed.
"Aren't you curious? I've destroyed planets before, but I've never obliterated an entire dimension. I'm really eager to try," Robert said, his voice filled with a sense of longing. "If you don't agree, maybe another dimension will. Once I'm done here, I'll check with the others."
"You... What?!" The Alien Dimension's consciousness was momentarily taken aback before it realized what Robert meant. It looked at Robert with hope. "You're going to target other dimensions next? That's... wonderful news."
"Why are you so happy? I haven't finished here yet," Robert replied coldly. The alien dimension's consciousness had barely begun to celebrate when its joy evaporated.
"What do you mean? Aren't you leaving?" the consciousness asked nervously, sensing that Robert wasn't finished.
"You still need to withdraw your dimension from Earth, close the spatial pathways, and make a binding promise never to invade Earth again," Robert said, his energy blast glowing brighter as his aura surged. "Surely you don't think I want to die with you? I'm just very confident in my destructive power—especially if you're not around to stop me."
"Never invade Earth again? That's impossible!" At first, the Alien Dimension's consciousness didn't react strongly, but when it heard "never invade Earth again," it exploded with resistance.
How could it agree to that? Earth was a coveted prize for many dimensions. Even Hell, one of the most powerful dimensions, had its eyes on Earth. The Alien Dimension's consciousness wasn't about to give up such a valuable target, even under threat from Robert.
"Swish!" Just as the consciousness finished speaking, Robert disappeared.
The Alien Dimension's consciousness reflexively assumed Robert had left, but then its expression changed. It quickly disappeared from sight as well.
"Boom!" In that brief hesitation, another third of a landmass was blown to pieces, despite the consciousness's efforts to suppress the explosion.
The Alien Dimension consisted of six landmasses, each controlled by one of the six alien lords. Now, more than one of these landmasses had been destroyed. If Robert kept going, even the consciousness might not be able to save the rest.
"Boom!" Robert's attacks didn't stop there. Having realized that his Instant Transmission could evade the consciousness's attempts to lock him down, he began unleashing his full destructive potential. He darted across the five remaining landmasses, sending out energy blasts and wreaking havoc.
Though Robert's ultimate goal was to force these dimensions to retreat, weakening them and draining their resources was certainly beneficial to Earth.
To be fair, the Alien Dimension's consciousness was reacting quickly. It followed Robert through the dimension, canceling out his destruction as much as possible. But defense was always harder than offense, especially when facing a slippery, destructive force like Robert.
"What if the Saiyan did this in our dimension? Could we stop him?" Dimensional powerhouses from across the multiverse exchanged uneasy glances as they observed the chaos unfolding in the Alien Dimension.
"The alien lords have fused together, and they're using the full power of the dimension's essence, yet they still can't stop him. Even in a stronger dimension, we'd have trouble containing him…"
"I thought the Time Stone and time magic were the most annoying powers, but this Saiyan's abilities are on another level!"
As the dimensional powerhouses watched, the Alien Dimension lay in ruins. Even when the consciousness tried to expel Robert, he would simply use Instant Transmission to return, taking advantage of the dimension's still-active spatial pathways.
More importantly, Robert had memorized the Alien Dimension's energy signature, particularly that of the consciousness's vessel. As long as the Alien Dimension didn't retreat, Robert could exhaust them to the point of collapse.
If Robert got tired, he could simply return to Earth to rest, then come back later to continue his relentless attacks.
"Wait! Saiyan! I'm willing to withdraw! As long as you remain in the Earth Dimension, the Alien Dimension will never invade Earth again!" Finally, as the damage reached a critical point, the Alien Dimension's consciousness gave in. It offered a solemn promise, even going so far as to create a binding contract—though it sneakily included the condition that the pact only held while Robert was alive.
"Good. That's perfect. Now I'll save some strength for the other dimensions." Seeing that the Alien Dimension's consciousness had finally surrendered, Robert eased up. After all, there were many more dimensions he would need to deal with to end the crisis threatening Earth.
"Swish!" As Robert left, the Alien Dimension's consciousness breathed a sigh of relief. It quickly severed the spatial pathways, splitting back into the six alien lords, and began repairing the damage done to the dimension.
"Now, which dimension should be next?" Robert reappeared outside the Earth Dimension, eyeing the remaining open spatial pathways.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
At that moment, one by one, the dimensional pathways shattered. It was as if the other dimensions had agreed to close off access to prevent Robert from invading and wreaking havoc in their territories.
By closing the portals, they avoided making any binding promises like the Alien Dimension. This way, they could try to return later when the time was right.
It wasn't that Robert had single-handedly scared all these dimensions into submission, but they simply had no way to counter
his Instant Transmission. Even though some of them were more powerful than Robert, they couldn't figure out how to stop him.
It was similar to the situation with the Ancient One. While the Ancient One wasn't invincible across all dimensions, her mastery of time magic and the Time Stone had forced many dimensions into a reluctant truce with Earth, avoiding an all-out war.
"Wait… there's one left? Hell Dimension? An old friend, huh!" Robert raised an eyebrow when he noticed that the Hell Dimension's portal was still open. The ominous energy seeping from the Hell Dimension hinted at its formidable power.
