Speed Is King

410 Head of the Snake

"Primal Alexander!!" Elliot said with a mix of pleasant surprise and gloomy premonition.

Primal Alexander\'s condition was extremely bad. His pure white robe was stained red with blood in many places, giving him a ghastly look that would be right at home in a horror movie.

A terrible wound ran down from his temple down to his jaw. It was regenerating rather quickly, and that fact alone told Elliot many, many things.

For one, it was a brand new wound, so a terrible fight was going on at that very moment.

Two, he was facing a seriously powerful enemy if it could deal such a horrible wound to the all-powerful Primal Alexander.

And three, it definitely wasn\'t a small one on one battle. Primal Alexander would never have ran off to ask him for help if it was. It was definitely a fight at a massive scale, and one which his faction was losing pretty badly.

Finally, it was also a battle that he couldn\'t afford to lose. That meant, Primal Alexander would fight to the death.

He immediately got up and stepped into the portal with him. The fact that it was a portal that led to a completely different multiverse fazed him not one bit.

His friend needed help. Stepping into a completely unknown multiverse with his universe-shaking power which could trigger unknown effects which could potentially cause a cascade of exponentially messy cause and effect phenomena was… well. Not as important.

"Point to me who you want me to kill." Elliot said very simply as soon as he stepped through the portal.

His Cosmic Dragon Energy was already circulating at full speed, and countless powerful spells were at his fingertips.

"They are everywhere!! Demons in endless waves!" Primal Alexander shouted. "Get all your beasts out and help us reinforce our final defensive line! If they break through, it is over for my realm!"

 Elliot took one look at the situation, and instantly understood.

It was a similar situation with the one he had faced in his own multiverse, just multiplied thousands of times in magnitude.

A huge gash had appeared in space, and countless demons were streaming out of it and into the universe.

Well, that was to put it extremely mildly.

There were only two problems.

One. The demons were all at the Ancient level or above! In fact, by his rough estimation, at least forty percent were in the Primal level.

Two. If ever infinity had a number, it would be the number of demons streaming through the huge, supergiant star sized gash in space.

Elliot had glanced into the portal, and he did not see an ending to the number of demons waiting quietly in line to cross through the portal.

With his powerful eyesight, to not see an ending simply meant that the number of demons had exceeded common sense and the known number scale.

Quadrillion? Gazillion? It didn\'t matter.

It was endless.

They needed to close the portal, or create a similarly endless wave of destructive energy surging into the portal.

No wonder Primal Alexander ran to him for help! It would be impossible for him to defend against such endless waves of demons!

Elliot immediately triggered his cheat-code-like clone center within his Universe of Runes and summoned his clones.

In an instant, a hundred clones of Elliot appeared and blinked away into a hundred different spots around the defensive "line" which was actually a sphere.

The powerful demons had created a massive "beachhead" and they were surging out in all directions to engage with powerful dragons, energy wielding mages and extremely cool looking mechas in all shapes and sizes.

However, it was clear that the demons were pushing the defenders back, and they were gaining ground every moment!

"Get your most powerful warriors to enter my clone portals, and keep doing it." Elliot told Primal Alexander said calmly.

"What?? Clone portal?? Elliot you\'re ridiculous! Ridiculous!! Hahahahahahaha!!!" Primal Alexander roared with relief and instantly shouted for his generals to get through the "damned portals now without any god damn f***ing delay!".

"Can I go through it too?" Primal Alexander asked Elliot.

"For beings as powerful as us, there would be a cap in number. I do not know the exact cap, but I did have a terrible premonition once I made a few hundred thousand of clones of my weaker self." Elliot explained calmly.

Primal Alexander nodded in understanding.

"Make no more than a thousand clones of yourself. And no more than ten of her." Elliot pointed to a transcendentally beautiful woman in similar white robes who was standing alone in the middle of five of the most powerful demons.

Each of the demons had fifteen horns shaped into a crown.

Demon Gods.

"Good." Primal Alexander said and immediately stepped into the portal. Within a few seconds, a hundred Alexanders appeared and blinked next to the beautiful woman, who immediately teleported next to Elliot.

"Greetings, young Elliot. Alexander has told me alot about you. My name is Aleyria, his wife. I believe in your Realm, they call me the hidden God of Flower Petals." Aleyria said with a beautiful smile.

"Uh… I have never heard of you. Sorry. Hehehe." Elliot said with an awkward laugh.

"Hahaha. I will introduce myself properly next time. But for now, we have seven Demon Gods to kill. I am grateful for your… clone portal." Aleyria said before disappearing into the portal and quickly creating ten copies of herself.

"Excellent. These clones have my full power. You truly are a genius above all geniuses, just as Alexander had claimed." Aleyria looked at her disappearing clones with admiration.

"You\'re sending those clones into the Realm of Sin?" Elliot asked her in amazement.

What an aggressive woman!

"A wise King once told me. In desperate battles, cutting off the snake\'s head is worth more than cutting off huge segments of his body. With ten of me, I would be strong enough to deal with the remaining two Demon Gods and… their mysterious leader."

At that, Aleyria\'s face clouded slightly with worry.

"Their mysterious leader? You mean the Devil?" Elliot asked her.
