"…Eh???"
The six-armed alien stared blankly at the scene before him, all four eyes wide, his mouth hanging open.
"Why are there suddenly so many people here? What is this—some kind of movie set?"
"…"
Feedback stood frozen for a second, the black tendrils on his arms twitching as faint energy sparks crackled along his body.
"…You've gotta be kidding me."
He looked around, then grinned helplessly.
"This escalated straight into a team battle."
Gwen Tennyson glanced at Ghost Girl, a trace of jealousy flashing through her eyes.
Gwen, calm down… she's just Ethen's partner. That's all.
Only then did Grandpa Max finally relax a little.
"We should be stable now."
Not far away, the white-robed alien and the muscular alien exchanged a quick glance.
Without hesitation, both activated their flying devices and tried to escape!
"Everyone!"
Ethen raised his voice sharply.
"Don't let the two trying to run get away!"
The moment his words fell—
Whoosh! Bang!!
Flame Girl, engulfed in roaring flames, hurled out two blazing fireballs, instantly smashing the flying devices beneath the aliens' feet!
At the same time, Speedy Woman (XLR8) shot forward like a blue lightning bolt, slamming straight into the falling muscular alien!
The alien didn't even have time to hit the ground before being kicked, punched, and flung back into the air repeatedly by Speedy Woman's terrifying speed!
As for the white-robed alien—
Female Super Giant (Way Big) calmly raised a single finger and pressed downward.
Splat.
Like crushing an ant.
The white-robed alien was dead on the spot.
Just like that, in less than ten seconds…
The so-called three-man "divine stick" group was completely wiped out.
They had just set a new record for the fastest defeat imaginable.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission!
Reward acquired: 15 reward points!
Ethen let out a long breath as the system notification echoed in his mind.
"Hey—Ethen."
Feedback suddenly spoke up, staring ahead with a serious expression.
"That thing's still absorbing energy."
He pointed at the massive figure in the distance.
"And not slowly, either."
The Supreme King continued to draw in power, its body pulsing ominously.
"Ethen," Transformer Girl said quickly, "the protection mode only has a few minutes left. You need to make a decision—now."
Ethen nodded and turned to Female Super Giant.
"Female Super Giant, attack the Supreme King directly with brute force!"
"I already tried that earlier."
Feedback shrugged.
"It didn't even flinch."
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Female Super Giant raised her massive fists and began pounding down mercilessly, hammering the Supreme King again and again!
She stood like an absolute monarch, raining destruction from above.
The Supreme King trembled violently. The ground cracked, shockwaves rippled outward, and even the entire Yellowstone Park shook.
Watching this, Feedback swallowed.
"…Okay. I take it back."
He folded his arms.
"That's not brute force—that's an execution."
Violence could stop the Supreme King—
It just needed enough violence.
Under Female Super Giant's relentless assault, the Supreme King suddenly sprouted countless writhing tentacles. Its head tore free as it let out a piercing, rage-filled scream!
Ding! Mission Issued — "Terrifying Supreme King"!
Mission Objective: The Supreme King's energy absorption has been interrupted. Enraged, it seeks to kill everyone present. Destroy it!
Mission Reward: 15 reward points!
The Supreme King had triggered a new mission!
Rumble!!
Its massive mouth opened wide, releasing a terrifying surge of energy that blasted outward!
Speedy Woman, Flame Girl, Vine Princess, and the others immediately retreated!
Feedback leapt back as well, tendrils bristling.
"Whoa—nope!"
He shouted.
"That output's way above my intake limit right now!"
Ethen, however, remained where he was.
He calmly raised his Love Watch, aiming it directly at Transformer Girl.
"Watch me work."
Whoosh!!
Transformer Girl instantly enveloped the Love Watch. Pink light burst forth as Ethen re-donned his DNA armor!
The violent energy wave surged straight toward him!
"Ethen, are you sure about this?!"
Ghost Girl's voice trembled slightly.
"I'd rather get sunburned than buried alive!"
"Don't ask."
Ethen's voice was firm and unwavering.
"Either leave now—or trust me and stay."
There was something absolute in his tone.
He pulled Ghost Girl close with his left arm and extended his right.
Click—click—click!!
The DNA armor reshaped itself, transforming into a massive cannon-like arm with plug-shaped ports!
The Supreme King's energy slammed into it—
"Absorb!"
Ethen clenched his fingers.
The cannon arm began absorbing the violent energy head-on!
The Supreme King's output rapidly weakened—
While Ethen's armor swelled, glowing with overwhelming power!
The Supreme King froze, staring at him in disbelief.
"…?"
Feedback stared wide-eyed.
"…Yeah, okay."
He laughed sharply.
"Guess you're the energy sponge today."
"Energy Cannon."
Ethen smiled.
He raised his arm and fired.
A devastating beam of condensed energy blasted straight into the Supreme King!
At the same time—
Flame Girl unleashed a raging inferno.
Princess Vine hurled explosive spore bombs.
Speedy Woman delivered high-speed strikes from every angle.
All the alien girls attacked simultaneously—
Except Ghost Girl.
Even as a so-called king…
The Supreme King was completely overwhelmed, torn apart by layered attacks until it was utterly annihilated.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission!
Reward acquired: 15 reward points!
As the system's voice faded, Ethen turned toward Ghost Girl, standing amid the fading glow of battle.
"Trusting me wasn't such a bad idea, right?"
"Of course not!"
Ghost Girl replied, trying—and failing—to hide her embarrassment.
"You didn't even need to ask. I already knew how reliable you were… That's why I never thought about running."
The moment she finished speaking, her face flushed slightly.
Damn it… why am I blushing?
Ethen chuckled, about to tease her—
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Pink light flared as the alien girls were recalled into the Love Watch, ending their protection mode.
Ethen's DNA armor faded, returning him to normal.
"If only it could last longer…"
"If it lasted any longer," Gwen muttered, crossing her arms, "I'm pretty sure she'd be glued to you."
Feedback laughed.
"Hey, after we're done here, check my gear later, yeah?"
He grinned, "Watching you absorb and fire that much energy just gave me a few ideas."
"Everyone—look what I found!"
Grandpa Max's excited voice rang out.
Everyone turned to see him standing inside a deep crater.
"Fresh earthworms! The battle forced them up from underground."
He smiled proudly.
"Dinner's settled."
"…."
Later — 12:00 AM
Ethen woke up right on time.
Ding! The host's Love Watch (Advanced Edition) has expired. Would you like to permanently retain it in the ability pool?
Ding! Detected: Host already owns a Love Watch. Partial fee waiver applied!
"Price."
Ethen answered without hesitation.
Love Watch (Advanced Edition): 200 reward points.
Two hundred points.
Expensive—but worth every single one.
The Love Watch's potential was terrifying.
"Purchase."
Ding! Congratulations! The Love Watch (Advanced Edition) has been permanently added to the ability pool!
"Oh—right. Today's template."
Ethen didn't forget.
Ding! Successfully claimed an Omnitrix Template!
Template acquired: Element Watch!
Element Watch:
Contains five elemental Ben 10–style aliens
Each alien corresponds to a different element
Transformation duration: 10 minutes
Cooldown required after use
Most battles won't even last the full duration
Ethen's eyes lit up.
Another absurdly powerful watch.
Element Watch.
[The Element Watch is a brand-new concept—original elemental aliens with unique abilities. Let's see how far this can go.]
