Alustus stared at Adam, fury burning in his eyes, deeper and more vivid than ever.
But he was drained.
Using the power of his Anti-World Weapon, had severely cut into his remaining Monster Energy reserves.
As much as he wanted to lash out in rage, he understood better than anyone where he stood now.
"I'm tired of this."
He muttered coldly, then continued.
"You..that woman. All of it. To hell with this… From now on, I am pulling out all the stops."
Behind him, the ocean churned unnaturally. A massive pillar of water rise from the ocean as it began spiral behind his back.
Space was turned into water, and a portal of swirling liquid space opened up behind Alustus.
He didn't face Adam as he spoke his next words.
"I was never alone to begin with."
And with that simple truth, the tide shifted again.
From the portal, one by one, orbs of glowing purple light emerged, dozens, then hundreds, eventually thousands began crossing over into the area their battle had taken place.
