Chapter 235 [Bonus ] Alpha Dreams

It took a little bit longer than I would have liked for my mind to stop racing through everything that could possibly go wrong from here on out in the future, but eventually, it did. The soft, gentle breathing of everyone around me was actually soothing and allowed me to drift off into a light doze as I thought about what I was going to do tomorrow when I went back down below the bunker again.

When I opened my eyes, to my surprise, I was standing before Alpha.

"What are you doing back here?" The Golden Demon asked me, but I just lifted my eyebrow.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing," I replied, and Alpha pursed his lips but then gestured to where I stood, and a lavish and very comfortable-looking chair appeared.

"Sit, please," Alpha invited, standing up to point at the chair.

While I wanted to stay standing just to spite him a bit more, my body decided otherwise as I sank down into the chair. "We have much to discuss. Since you popped into my dream, we might as well use this time wisely. Neither of us has the advantage here, so it is a good middle ground."

Best

I wanted to tell him that he was wrong and that I had the advantage in every way possible, but curiosity got the better of me as. I just nodded for him to continue.

"Very well. You want to know what my plans are now?"

"You could say that," I shrugged nonchalantly, but Alpha smiled a bit sadly before sitting down across from me.

"You know, I hardly ever lie, but I also hardly ever tell the truth. I like to keep things close to the chest and not let others know what they don't need to," Alpha began, and I nodded slowly. "But you have been nothing but honest with me, so I suppose it is only fair that I do the same."

"Sounds good in theory," I said, but Alpha chuckled.

"Yes, well, my plans are very simple: I have a Group of elite led by Zor, and they will be coming to test you. I say you, but we both know that you pissed that violent dragon off, and you personally are going to be busy dealing with the three sisters. I have dealt with two of them, but one of them has stopped me at every turn, and her power is still unknown," Alpha explained, and while I didn't like being left in the dark, this was good enough for me.

"How many do you have in your group?" I asked curiously.

"Well, not counting myself or Zor, there are two hundred others who will be testing you," Alpha said with a smirk before snapping his fingers, and a screen appeared on the wall showing different people of various shades of yellow looking all like slightly different versions of Alpha himself. "These are my elites and their mech suits that you will be dealing with."

I whistled as I looked at the different people and their mech suits in various stages of completion. "Looks like you have been busy."

"You have no idea," Alpha muttered before making the screen disappear, and then he sighed. "But that is enough talk about me for now; let's get back to you."

"Fine, what do you want to know?" I asked, and Alpha gave me a look.

"Two words. Star. Child. You are the progenitor and the largest thorn in my side since he tricked me," Alpha said, keeping a cool composure, but I could tell that he was seething inside.

"You mean the one that you tried to trick? I am pretty sure that you are the single wipe of shit that just doesn't seem to go away if you ask me," I replied, and Alpha glared at me.

"That was my rightful place! I should have been the god of it all! That... Thing tricked me!" Alpha said, starting to get heated, but I shrugged.

"Why?" I asked, and Alpha stopped and gave me a peculiar look.

"What do you mean, why?!"

"Why do you deserve it more than the next person? Why do you get to tell people how to live? Why do you get to kill whoever you want without any repercussion?" I asked in a flat tone.

"Because I am a god!" Alpha snapped and pursed my lips, letting out a raspberry.

"You are not a god and never were. You are just some overgrown child that thinks the universe is your sandbox. Listen, buddy, I got some news for you. No one gives a shit about what you think or want. Now that you have told me that you are still going to pull stupid and attack me, this is war. Call yourself what you want, but you are not the strongest, nor are you omnipotent. You are just a sad golden sack of shit that thinks too much of himself and has to clone himself to make people listen or enslave them," I said in a tired voice and then looked around. "How do I get out of this shit hole?"

Alpha just glared at me and then stood up, walking over to me in a body that was slowly getting much bigger than my own, but I pulled out a pin and popped the image. Alpha shrunk back down and then swung at me, but a root grabbed his hand and guided it back to his own face.

"If you ever come into my dream again, I will end you here and now. You are not as strong as people make you out to be, Alpha," I said in a cold voice before everything around me started fading away until it was just complete darkness.

I woke up in a cold sweat, and everyone was looking at me like I had grown another head. "What?"

"Are you alright? We could feel the power surging out of you," Kitsune asked with concern, but I shook my head clear of the fog that had filled it when Alpha appeared.

"Yeah... Just bad dreams are all," I lied smoothly and smiled at the girls.

Now I knew that he would be attacking, so everyone was going to have to be ready.
