Chapter 146: Who's the Bad Guy?

Aaron watched as the tentacles began to swing around as if they were trying to protect Alec from any future attacks. It confused Aaron, as it wasn't trying to attack him, despite Aaron being the most present threat. Alec's monstrously transfigured body was only destroying the surrounding area, not explicitly attacking people. A blind rage, if that term fits. Alec was forced into a state of blind rage. Aaron looked upon him in horror. This is what happened when the breaking of a seal happened, huh? It wasn't pleasant.

Aaron's body was sent flying forward as his four clones attacked from different directions. His hand glowed a violent purple, although Aaron couldn't tell what it meant. Aaron watched as the other clones lit their hands up blue. They all rushed towards the tentacles, punching their way through until dealing blows yielded no more results. Aaron's main body got the furthest, reaching the main body before one of Alec's strongest tentacles slammed into him, destroying itself as it sent Aaron flying away in recoil.

Aaron tried to get some control over his actions, but the voice still had control over him for a few more hours, so he could only sit back and watch. If he could just move away, maybe he could do this in a better way. Aaron would be able to help Alec return back to normal. He just needed to find a way to regain control of his body, and he could take it from there.

Aaron watched as his clones disappeared, almost as if they had never existed. Another portal appeared in the air, and from it came a replica of Alec. It was there to fight against the original Alec, and this is when something rushed through his mind, causing him to blurt it out. "Wait a second...if we can spawn in a summoned version of someone and then fuse with to, wouldn't it just remove the purpose of killing someone?" Aaron pointed out before imagining himself clasp his mouth with his hands. "That's a valid point, Aaron, but there's a reason why we don't. First things first, it would get boring. The person looking on would get bored quickly, and that would be the end of my fun. Plus, and I need to prove a point to both you and them." The voice pointed out, addressing you. You know what he's doing. "The person looking on? Who the hell is that?" Aaron asked in confusion, not knowing what the voice was talking about. "Oh, don't worry about it. It's just the person who's above me. I want you to fight against them later on, but you don't have to. It'd just be interesting to see." The voice replied, not bothering to address Aaron's confusion, just leaving him to worry about another thing. Aaron turned his vision to the fight between Alec and his clone Alec, taking his mind off of the matter about the person looking on, thinking it was just some superstition the voice believed in. You got off lucky today. He didn't notice you.

Aaron watched as the two Alec slammed their tentacles into each other like maniacs, seemingly on accident. It was like they were just focused on the destruction of the environment, but they just so happened to hit each other. This happened multiple times, as tentacles broke off on both sides, either at the same time or within a second of each other. The original Alec had the physical advantage as it had more tentacles, which had more endurance, while the clone Alec had the edge in stamina as it was a fully-healed base version of Alec. It was an almost equal stalemate. Slowly, however, the clone began to lose its advantage as the original Alec slowly began to focus on landing its attacks on the clone. It was quickly overloaded, and this forced the voice in Aaron's head to acknowledge something.

"This is the point I wanted to prove. You can summon anything, but currently, you can only summon things in their basic form. That's why you're at ten percent of your one hundred percent power. Your perfect level of power is one hundred percent. Equal to mine. However, I've seen your soul. I've looked further than anyone else. You've had a knack for doing better than anyone else at something, and that's reflected in the deepest part of your soul. I won't tell you anything about it, but I will let you know that you can surpass one hundred percent. You have great power. This one fusion will let you.go beyond perfection. You'll be able to go beyond the status of a god. Beyond the status of the divine, where I am. What do you say?" The voice asked, coaxing Aaron with the ideal of power once again. Aaron almost believed him, but then he remembered what was going on outside.

{Thank god. I thought I'd have to step in for you.} Another voice rang throughout his head. The one that entered when he got his Boundless Sealing Ability. "L!" Aaron yelled out as the other voice became audibly displeased. "#####! Why are you butting in now?! I'm currently busy building up this guy's strength!" The voice groaned, trying to tell L to leave, but L was having none of it.

{You're up to some shady shit, N. That much I know for sure. I was taking a break from looking at Aaron, and I come back to this. What the hell have you been doing for the past few hours?} L asked with surprise in their voice, leaning more towards the voice of a woman, while N, the voice which caused him to lose control, was more apparently male.

"I've been...improving...Aaron. I'm making him stronger. You beat me in our last encounter, so I plan to make him my line of defence. With a being more powerful than me guarding against you, you wouldn't be able to harm me again. You know that I don't like it when we fight, but you're insistent on it." N replied, taking a defensive stance.

"I'm confused. Who's the bad guy here?" Aaron asked in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
