Chapter 176: Subjugating the Volcanic Lava

During this time, Jack had gained partial mastery over the powers of the Door-Door Fruit.

Although he couldn't yet use the spatial gates to traverse thousands of miles, returning to the South Sea should have been entirely possible!

Jack, unwilling to accept failure, concentrated his energy as white light flickered in his hands, but the spatial door remained motionless.

His eyes widened in fury, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Open for me!"

Forcing the spatial door open, Jack applied immense pressure. But instead of success, the spatial door shattered!

"Pfft!"

Jack coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.

"Spatial disruption?

This… this doesn't make sense!"

Carl Ruffelo and Mark rushed to his side, supporting his body. Concerned, they asked:

"Are you alright? What just happened?"

Jack suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Changbai Mountain.

"Spatial disruption? Yes! Spatial disruption!

There's intense spiritual turbulence coming from Changbai Mountain, making the space in this area unstable!

What on earth is happening over there?!"

Jack hurriedly pulled out his phone to call Alexander and inform him of their predicament.

"Huh? No signal?" Jack was dumbfounded.

Mark handed him a satellite phone.

"Boss, you need to make a call?

The signal tower near White Mountain City is down. Try this."

Taking the phone, Jack dialed the number Alexander had used to contact him earlier.

"President, something's gone wrong!"

Alexander stared gravely at the ash-filled sky and the roiling volcanic lava.

He had just received Jack's call.

The space near White Mountain City was unstable, rendering the Door-Door Fruit's teleportation useless.

"Jack, that useless fool!"

Alexander's face darkened.

If Jack had fully developed the power of the Door-Door Fruit, he wouldn't have been hindered by spatial disruptions.

In fact, with the fruit's abilities, Jack should have been able to create spatial instability himself!

Alexander gazed toward White Mountain City.

He could ignore the lives of most people, but not Mark's.

Though Alexander was naturally aloof and came from a poor family, he had one true friend—Mark.

Despite being the province's top genius for three years in the era of spiritual awakening, Alexander found it laughable that he had only one friend.

As a transmigrator, the parallel world felt both familiar and foreign to him, leaving him with little sense of belonging.

Alexander wasn't heartless but found it difficult to open up to others.

He was like a blind wolf in the wilderness, capable of hunting and escaping, yet uncomfortable with genuine care from others.

Mark had broken through those walls, becoming Alexander's companion.

They had been close during high school and remained so even after graduation.

When they first arrived at White Mountain City, Mark even believed Alexander to be an awakened farmer-type talent who returned home to build greenhouses and grow crops.

Even as the deputy chief of the city's Security Bureau, Mark never thought Alexander unworthy of being his friend.

On the contrary, in White Mountain City, Mark had stood up for Alexander, discarding his alliance with Jonathan King and helping Alexander maintain his usual demeanor.

Mark's father, Carl Ruffelo, was no different.

He was willing to go to great lengths to help Alexander, even risking his relationship with Jonathan King Sr.

This was no small matter, considering Carl Ruffelo greatly feared Jonathan King Sr.'s extraordinary plants.

For those who showed him kindness, Alexander would always repay it tenfold.

As Alexander stared at the terrifying lava, a mad smile spread across his face.

He made a dangerous decision!

He would fight the chimera while simultaneously subjugating the volcanic lava of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain!

The weak oppress the weaker, but the strong draw their blades against even stronger foes!

Alexander had never feared challenges, nor would he retreat into a comfort zone. Otherwise, why would he have created the Mercenary Guild?

If he wanted an easy life, couldn't he have allied with the Security Bureau using the power of his Heavenly Flame of Creation?

Welma would undoubtedly have welcomed Alexander as a subordinate.

Alexander once again concentrated, summoning a surge of violet power in his hands. From the skies above, the violet energy cascaded down like a waterfall, pouring into the roiling volcanic lava below.

A violet halo spread across the surface of the lava, and in that instant, the lava within Changbai Mountain's caldera came to a complete standstill.

The chimera, one of the most powerful and destructive magical beasts among the Seven Aberrations, had been battling the White Python Flame for an extended time. Over this period, it had become well-acquainted with the flame's attack patterns.

Soon, the chimera would break free of the White Python Flame and turn its attention to the flame's master—Alexander!

However, the chimera sensed that Alexander was in the midst of subjugating the volcanic lava of Changbai Mountain. It chose to relent, refraining from further engagement.

Alexander continued his effort, successfully subduing the volcanic lava of Changbai Mountain's caldera, ensuring the safety of his sacred mountain dwelling. Sweat beaded on his forehead, streaming down in rivulets.

The exertion was overwhelming—his mind felt as though it were splitting apart.

Subjugating the lava was far easier than taming the White Python Flame.

Unlike the flame, which had a faint consciousness, the lava was entirely lifeless.

Even so, the process left Alexander utterly drained.

It reminded him of those grueling middle school gym classes, where after running a kilometer, the PE teacher would demand he immediately jump rope.

"To subjugate two powerful homunculi at once, my spiritual energy is woefully insufficient.

Moreover, the Soul-Soul Fruit struggles immensely with creating such strong homunculi.

Even the Sea Empress, Big Mom, had only a few of them."

Alexander's eyes suddenly blazed with an intense fighting spirit.

Whether driven by his desire to grow stronger or his determination to protect Mark, he refused to give up.

Some retreat into their comfort zones when faced with adversity, while others become relentless, growing fiercer with every challenge.

Alexander undoubtedly belonged to the latter group.

Tightly pressing his lips together, he poured all his remaining spiritual energy into the lava.

With each passing moment, his lifespan diminished.

The Soul-Soul Fruit was infusing the lava with consciousness!

Finally, after ten grueling minutes, Alexander's body could no longer hold on.

Depleted of all spiritual energy, he plummeted from the sky.

At such a height, the fall would certainly kill him.

"Screech!"

The White Python Flame let out a piercing roar.

It broke free from the chimera, which made no effort to stop it.

The White Python Flame coiled around Alexander, gently lowering him to the ground.

The violet halo over the caldera's lava had dissipated.

The lava began to move again.

The White Python Flame roared once more, as if threatening the lava.

In response, the lava's flow slowed significantly.

Alexander struggled to open his eyes.

He felt utterly exhausted, his body barely clinging to life.

Unbeknownst to him, his once-black hair had turned completely white.

The lava had drained fifty years of his lifespan.

Fifty years—his absolute limit. Any further and Alexander would have died of old age on the spot.

Thankfully, the lava had ceased its rampage, even without the continued control of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

The White Python Flame had played a crucial role.

As a fire essence native to Changbai Mountain's caldera, the White Python Flame shared the same origin as the volcanic lava.

Moreover, the White Python Flame burned Alexander's lifespan, and the lava had similarly consumed fifty years of it.

Both carried a trace of the Soul-Soul Fruit's energy.

Thus, in the critical moment, the White Python Flame had helped Alexander subjugate the lava.

Despite this, there remained a significant difference between the lava and the White Python Flame.

The lava lacked consciousness; it was merely a tool Alexander could wield.

It was not a perfect homunculus created solely by Alexander.

Unlike the White Python Flame, which could continue burning as long as it consumed lifespans, the lava was more akin to a single-use entity.

Fortunately, the lava's immense volume meant it would serve Alexander for a very long time.
