Chapter 1272: 1272
Jiang Fei’s current combat power, from being excited by means of fear and wrath, was still 300,000 behind Alexis’ . From a certain point of view, they were almost the same but 300,000 was such a large number that calling it neck and neck would not make sense . However, at the very least, Jiang Fei would be able to last longer than when he was only 60,000 .
“0541, his domain ability is supposed to be unlimited, no? Think of other ways to excite him more!” Isabella said .
“I understand your logic but I am out of means to further excite the captain!”
0541 gave up . The people he cared most of were the girls around him and his family back on Earth . 0541 had already made images based on their demise . That was the most he could do for Jiang Fei . Anything else would have to be from Jiang Fei himself .
“I don’t think this is a feasible way,” said Nina .
“What do you mean?” Sylphy asked .
“Look at Jiang Fei now and tell me what you see,” Nina said, pointing at him . He was fuming with rage and was driven mad by wrath . The current state of Jiang Fei was similar to someone drunk on power . The current Jiang Fei was unconscious yet he was still far from being on the same level as his enemy .
“But if we do not do this, we cannot push him to his best,” Ariel pointed out .
“True . That is why I think we should train him before the enemy arrives . He needs to learn how to control his powers instead of relying on external stimuli . I do not believe that relying on anger in exchange for power, sacrificing one’s mind, is viable in the long run . Not to mention, it is dangerous . He needs to believe in himself, to hope and to will for power in order to unlock the domain ability’s full potential . ”
“I agree with the Saint of the Light,” said Hua Mulan . Even though everyone had told her to change her way of addressing Nina, Hua Mulan had not gotten used to it .
“Alright, 0541, please let him go . We’ll discuss his training after he had had his rest,” Isabella said . After today’s trail, they knew that Jiang Fei had the potential to defeat Alexis . The problem, however, lay with the method to train him .
0541 quickly stopped all the mental images projected into Jiang Fei’s mind, and calmed him down using both psychic therapy and chemical medication .
When Jiang Fei came to, he dropped to his knees and his breathing was ragged .
“What the hell did you do that for?!” Jiang Fei roared before realizing what had happened and why 0541 did what he did . Even so, those images that he had seen were too horrifying to be forgotten . But it worked for him . It was clearer than ever to Jiang Fei the consequences of his failure . If he could not become strong, and Alexis not stopped, everything that 0541 showed him, albeit fictional, would come to be true . With that thought in mind, Jiang Fei affirmed himself and when he activated his domain ability, his combat power rose up to 500,000 .
“Your attempts to save everyone had never failed to amuse me,” said Han Tianyu . It wasn’t clear when he arrived but based on his tone and word choice, everyone knew that the Spectre was here .
“Mr . Velon, do you think I can stop Alexis from destroying Earth?” Jiang Fei immediately shot to his feet and asked .
“Hard to say,” Velon shrugged .
“As you are now, you wouldn’t last a minute . But if you could truly master your power, forget Alexis, even Saufrey would bend the knee,” he added .
“Saufrey? Is he…” Jiang Fei stammered .
“In time, only if you can defeat Alexis will the two of you cross paths,” Velon replied vaguely .
“I understand,” Jiang Fei said . Even though Velon didn’t explain, Jiang Fei knew that Saufrey was someone much stronger than Alexis .
The next few days, Jiang Fei trained to increase his willpower . Still, without true threat, he could never truly bring out his powers . Even though he trained and trained, he could not fully master the domain ability, which was aptly named Omnisurge, to push himself above 1,000,000, much less 4,000,000 .
Time was running out and the dawn of Alexis’ arrival was drawing close . He was incredibly nervous but he was never able to reach combat power of his goal . If Alexis entered the Solar System, and Jiang Fei was still unable to push himself beyond 4,000,000, there would be trouble .
Jiang Fei never wanted to wait until someone he loved died in front of him and used that to become strong . What would it be for him even if he managed to defeat Alexis then? Someone died and there was no way he could bring them back .
The more nervous he was, the more insensitive he became to time . Days passed as if they were hours and Jiang Fei could feel the arrival of Alexis coming . Still, he had only managed to reach combat level of 1,000,000 . Such strength would only allow him to defeat small fries like Balsris but never high officers like Alexis . He would be swatted like a fly!
During one of his training sessions, while Jiang Fei was trying to figure out his willpower, 0541 sounded the alarm . At that moment, even without 0541’s report, Jiang Fei’s heart sank . It was the day of reckoning .
“Captain, I have detected a vast number of Valsalry Wayfinders coming into the Solar System!”
0541’s report signaled the start of the second wave .
“Sigh… It’s time,” Jiang Fei said with a heavy heart . Even though he was a nervous wreck before, after 0541’s announcement of the arrival of the enemy, Jiang Fei found the courage to stand .
“0541, arrange a small ship for me . Take the helm of Braveheart and stay close to the Sun’s orbit . In case I lose the fight and all hope is lost, you must flee the Solar System,” Jiang Fei ordered decisively . He was never the kind to sacrifice himself for the greater good but when entrusted the responsibility to do so, albeit unwilling, he was never one to desert his duties .
“Aye… Captain,” 0541 replied . Of everyone then, 0541 was probably the only sentient being that could calculate every possible outcome . He knew Jiang Fei was unable to muster enough willpower to summon enough combat power from Omnisurge . The probability of defeating Alexis was incredibly low, so much so that 0541 did not bother to provide an alternative . To protect Jiang Fei’s legacy, leaving the Solar System was the optimal option .
“I’m coming with you!” Isabella hurried over to Jiang Fei’s side and clutched his arm tightly .
“Me too!”
“I’m with you, forever . ”
“I shall defend you with my life!”
“It shall be an honor to be with you till the end . ”
“Let nothing come between us . ”
…
Everyone joined the call to arms, making sure they’re with Jiang Fei, even though death was almost certain .
