Affinity:Chaos

**A.N: Reload the last chapter :)**

Reynolds looked at the man, a little surprised that the man was thanking him. But for some reason, he could feel like things were about to take a turn. The sudden change in the puppet, making it turn into a bid was strange.

One thing he noticed when he saw the bead was the enormous energy it contained. Not just that, but the energy was completely without any impurities. It could be consumed without any fears of there being any backlash.

'Oh no!'

Reynolds' heart sank when he figured out what the man was about to do. The man wanted to consume the energy. From the looks of it, the man got the motivation to do this after seeing Reynolds merge and detach from his Elemental Warrior.

'Why does the evil guy have to be so smart?!'

Reynolds couldn't believe what was happening. He sent a lightning bolt at the man, hoping to stop him from consuming it. Unfortunately, he was too late as the man consumed it even before the attack finished forming.

The man's aura exploded out and the buildings close to him were crushed to smithereens.

Reynolds' attack was destroyed.

The man's aura spiked and for the first time, Reynolds' felt his heart beat heavily out of fear since the start of the battle. He sensed an aura from the man that he had only ever sensed in one person who was still in the Elemental Venerable Plane, and that person was Grey.

Grey's strength has clearly exceeded the Peak of the Venerable Plane, even though he was technically a Peak stage Elemental Venerable, only a fool would accept that he was a Peak Venerable. Grey was the strongest person in the Venerable Plane, and anything above his current strength was the Sovereign Plane.

The man being able to exude such an aura meant one thing, he was heading into the Sovereign Plane. The man couldn't achieve the same feat as Grey, but he could break through to the Sovereign Plane.

The second he does this, Reynolds and the others are dead. Even if Klaus and Aries came over to help, they wouldn't be able to fight against a Sovereign. A Sovereign was just that powerful.

Reynolds threw away his pride and quickly summoned not just Klaus, but Aries as well.

Before the duo came over, they were both given two talismans each, to use in summoning the duo. The duo would be instantaneously teleported to their current location once used.

Reynolds didn't see any need in using it all this time, but now, he knew there was no way he could defeat the man at his current state. Their only chance of winning is ensuring they take out the man before he breaks through to the Sovereign Plane.

"Damn, you finally called for help. I've been waiting for so…" Klaus was speaking when he paused and turned to look at the man.

"What the fuck man?! What did you do?!" Klaus was stunned when he saw the man about to break through.

They were usually the ones who broke through when fighting against their enemies, now this man was breaking through, and from his condition, it was obvious that he had been badly beaten by Reynolds before this.

"He comprehended something when he saw me merge with my Elemental Warrior." Reynolds said.

"Fuck! You're giving the bad guys ideas now? Really?!" Klaus was shocked at what he was seeing.

"I didn't know he could do something like that." Reynolds complained. He too was at a loss for words at the fact that the man was able to do something like this.

"Will you two stop quarreling and help me stop him from advancing?!" Aries couldn't believe the duo were still arguing at such a time.

"Who says weren't not helping?" Klaus asked.

The entire area had turned into a snow covered valley without the trees.

Klaus' use of the ice element seemed to slow down the speed at which the man's aura was improving.

Without sufficient elemental essence, there was no way the man could break through, and Klaus was freezing the elemental essence precisely.

He might be arguing with Reynolds, but he got to work the moment he saw how bad the situation was. There was no harm in yelling at Reynolds, so why not?

Aries was once again dumbfounded by Klaus. The fact that Klaus thought to do something like this showed just how quick-witted he is.

The man was also shocked at what Klaus thought of.

"You brought help. Hehe, looks like I'll have a lot of good things to work with this time." The man laughed, he looked at Aries, "Aren't you the jewel of the Phoenix Faction? What are you doing here?"

Without waiting for Aries to reply, he said, "It doesn't matter, I'll go into hiding after killing you kids. You guys are really a good batch. I made the right choice to wait a little longer."

"Does he talk so much?" Klaus turned to Reynolds.

"Yeah, it's nice you're here, you guys can get to know each other." Reynolds nodded.

Klaus snorted before taking a look at Alice, an ice needle formed and shot at one of the puppets.

The puppet didn't even have time to react before it was frozen solid.

Alice was already aware of Klaus' appearance when the temperature suddenly dropped.

She sensed the change in the man's aura and knew that this wasn't the time to try to evolve her cultivation technique. They will be in serious trouble if the man breaks through to the Sovereign Plane.

Klaus, Reynolds, and Aries didn't stand idly any longer, they charged at the man after Klaus made things easier for Alice.

As much as he wanted her to join in on the fight, he didn't want her to get close for now. It was too dangerous for anyone below a grade seven Peak Venerable. Even Aries who was a grade seven Peak Venerable might also be in danger if they were careless.

"Don't let him break through."

"You think you can stop me?"
