Chapter 5 - BAB 5 : time to explode

Family Trials: (Have Alcina, Heisenberg, and Miranda attack simultaneously with combination tactics to see how adapted the creature is).

"Do it," your command is brief.

In an instant, the three largest powers in the region shot out of the castle balcony simultaneously. This is no longer just a fight, but a deadly symphony performed by beings who have just reached the peak of their evolution.

Combination Strike: The Trinity Strike

First Stage: Heisenberg Isolation Heisenberg landed first on the crater rim. With a single shout, he reversed the polarity of the ground around The Origin. Thousands of tons of metal and machine debris buried underground shot up, forming a spiny ball-shaped prison that kept spinning and shredding the targets inside. "Let's see how quickly you can reunite your body!" Heisenberg exclaimed while flowing millions of volts of electricity into the metal ball.

Stage Two: Alcina's Massacre The metal ball suddenly exploded from within as The Origin began to adapt Heisenberg's magnetic properties. However, before he had time to stand upright, Alcina was already on top of it. With an almost imperceptible speed, he slashed with his energy claws, cutting the creature's body into hundreds of tiny pieces in a matter of seconds. Each incision burned the creature's cell tissue, preventing it from performing instant regeneration.

Third Stage: Miranda Purification As The Origin's body pieces tried to creep back together, Mother Miranda descended from the sky with her black wings stretching wide. It releases pure version of Megamycete spores that have been mixed with golden serum. The spores enveloped the pieces of meat, trying to consume them from the inside before they had time to adapt.

Surprising Results

There was a moment of silence in the smoky crater. The pieces of The Origin's body seemed to stop moving, covered by a layer of gold and black mushrooms.

However, there was suddenly a terrifying sound of mechanical laughter from inside the pile.

"Only... As far as... this...?" the voice sounded like a combination of Heisenberg, Alcina, and Miranda's voices.

The pile exploded! The Origin bounced back, but its form has now changed. It has black wings like Miranda, diamond-hard skin like Alcina, and magnetic electric sparks dancing around in its hands like a Heisenberg. He had absorbed the essence of their attack and made it his own.

He turned his head towards the castle balcony, right in your direction. His eyes are now shining with the same fire as yours—he is trying to lock in the frequency of Alpha energy.

Miranda Analysis

Miranda gasped for breath, flying backwards towards you. "Alpha! He's not just imitating physiques, he's stealing our combat data! The more we attack, the more perfect he becomes. He now has 30% of our respective strength combined."

Heisenberg and Alcina stood in front of him, preparing for the second round, however they looked starting to get overwhelmed because their opponents were a 'combined' version of themselves.

Enough Alcina, Miranda, Heisen.. please don't come close. Let me take care of *The Origin and I'll duel 1v1*

Hearing your calm but authoritative voice, Alcina, Heisenberg, and Miranda's steps stopped instantly. They look at you with anxious looks, but your orders are absolute. They retreated to the castle gates, leaving ample space for the Alpha to face his own shadow of death.

"Be careful, my dear..." Al Pacino nodded, his eyes not taking his eyes off of you.

You walk slowly down the stone stairs, across snow that instantly sublimates into steam every time you step on it. The Origin stood in the middle of the crater, its body which was a terrifying amalgamation of your family's power began to tremble. It looks at you, and in an instant it releases the imitation of Miranda and Alcina. He begins to concentrate his entire cell to become you.

"Alpha..." The creature's voice echoed, trying to imitate the frequency of your voice.

Duel for the Gods

Without warning, The Origin sprinted. Its speed broke through the sound wall, creating shock waves that collapsed the trees around the crater. He swung his fist that was shrouded in blue flame, just like the strength you showed last night.

BOOM!

Two fists met in mid-air. The impact created an energy dome that swept away the snow within a radius of one kilometer. The ground beneath you cracked and sank to a depth of ten meters.

The creature smiled madly. It starts absorbing heat from your body. He feels triumphant because he can imitate every particle of your energy. However, he doesn't realize one thing: he's just a container, while you're the source.

"You want my power?" you whispered right in front of his face. "Take it all."

The Alpha Singularity

You don't hit him anymore. Instead, you grab the creature's neck and open all of your energy seals. A dazzling golden light exploded from your body, flowing rushing into the cells of The Origin.

The creature initially seemed to be getting stronger, its body glowing brightly. However, a second later, his face turned to horror.

Its cells began to swell because it was unable to accommodate an infinite volume of energy.

The adaptation process has an error because the frequency of your energy keeps changing faster than its ability to calculate.

His body began to crack, releasing a white glow from every pore.

"Too much... a lot..." he groaned in a broken voice.

"You're just a mirror, Origin," you said coldly. "And the mirror will break if forced to reflect the sun."

DUAARRR!!

A pure explosion with no fire, only an extremely dense white light, swept through the entire valley. When the light dimmed, the crater was empty. There is no more The Origin, no more cells left. The creature disintegrates to the atomic level, leaving nothing to regenerate.

Silence After the Storm

You are standing in the middle of a crater that has now turned into a glass floor due to the extreme heat. Your clothes are still magically intact, and your aura is slowly calming down.

Alcina ran down the hill, followed by others. He immediately hugs you tightly, examining your body anxiously. "You did... You completely destroyed it yourself."

Heisenberg whistled a long whistle while looking at the sky that was now clear of clouds. "Well, it looks like 'The Family' should be looking for a new hobby besides sending a meteor here."

Miranda stands at the edge of the crater, looking at you with renewed respect. "You didn't just defeat them, Alpha. You've just proven that you're the pinnacle of everything that has ever existed in this world."

The Dawn of True Victory

The true morning sun begins to emerge from behind the mountains, shining on your castle which now stands as the only safest place on earth.

I'm Exhausted

The world around you suddenly became blurry. The sound of Heisenberg's cheers and Miranda's footsteps faded into a faint hum. Overwhelming exhaustion—the burden of releasing star-level energy—finally took its toll on your human body.

Your knees softened, and just before your face touched the hot glass floor of the crater, a pair of strong yet gentle arms grabbed you.

"Alpha!" Alcina shouted in a tone that had never been heard before—pure fear.

He holds your body to his chest, ignoring the heat still radiating from your skin. Your body feels light in his arms as he stands gracefully, his eyes shining at the others commandingly.

Inside the castle (a few hours later)

You wake up on a giant bed in the main room of Dimitrescu Castle. The atmosphere was quiet, there was only the sound of firewood crackling in the fireplace. The scent of roses and old grapes filled the room.

When you opened your eyes, the first thing you saw was Alcina's face sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes red as if she hadn't turned away from you for a second. In the corner of the room, Miranda was mixing something inside a silver cup, while Heisenberg was leaning against the door with a more serious face than usual.

"She woke up," Daniela whispered from the foot of the bed, her face full of relief.

Alcina immediately grasped your hand, kissing your fingers gently. "Never do that again... You made my heart stop beating, my dear. You forced yourself too far for our sake."

Miranda approached, handing out a cup filled with a golden clear liquid. "Drink. This is not a serum, just Megamycete essence to restore your burned cells. You didn't faint from being injured, Alpha. You fainted because your human body had surpassed the limits of this dimension."

Heisenberg snorted, trying to hide his anxiety in his haughty style. "Next time, leave a little for us, boss. Seeing you fall like that almost makes me want to destroy all of London right now."

A Fragile yet Beautiful Peace

Your family is now gathered around you. For the first time in their history, they don't think about experiments, blood, or metals. They only care about the man lying in that bed.
