Boom!
Dr. Animo swung his steel arms, forcing Gwen into a corner!
"It's over!"
Gwen gasped for breath, the glow of her magic dimming across her body.
"My magic energy is getting weaker and weaker… it's over…"
"Little girl," Dr. Animo sneered as he advanced, "give up your useless tricks and wait quietly for death!!"
"Uh… you're right." Gwen gently lowered her staff.
"I really should give up my magic weapons. But waiting for death? I can't do that."
In the next instant, she slid forward—
Bang!!
A sharp high kick slammed into Dr. Animo's jaw!
His eyes bulged as his head snapped back violently.
Gwen fighting bare-handed—
This was completely beyond Dr. Animo's expectations!
"Hmph! Do you think I'm powerless without magic weapons?!"
"You're dead wrong!"
Gwen grew more energized with every move.
She grabbed a wooden stick, adopting a downright warlike stance, and began smashing it against Dr. Animo's head.
Dr. Animo staggered backward repeatedly!
"OW!! That hurts!!"
He clutched his head, tears streaming down his face.
"…"
Behind her, Ben stared in disbelief.
"Nerd—no, wait… I shouldn't call her that. She's violent."
"She's a genuinely violent girl!!"
Above them.
Way Big crossed his arms, his expression strange.
Female Way Big asked curiously, "Ethen… were your combat skills taught by Gwen Tennyson?"
"Haha…" Way Big chuckled dryly.
"To be honest, my technique might even be inferior to her unregulated street-fighting style."
After all—
Gwen was someone who could even knock Heatblast off balance.
"Ugh—ahh!!" Dr. Animo suddenly dropped to one knee.
The dark color drained from his face as his eyes slowly returned to normal.
"No… why is there only a few minutes of combat time left?!"
"Because it's the same for us." Way Big's mouth twitched as he complained.
Biu~ biu~
The next second, his transformation ended as well, and he landed heavily on the station floor.
"Huh? You reverted too?" Dr. Animo's ferocious grin returned.
"Good. None of you kids think you're escaping now!!"
Ethen picked up the prototype tool mace.
Gwen tightened her grip on her wooden stick.
Ben charged straight at Dr. Animo on his hoverboard.
"No—!!"
Dr. Animo screamed.
This was about to become the darkest moment of his life.
In short—
The Plumbers took full control of the Swamp.
Dr. Animo was transferred from an ordinary prison inmate to a Plumbers high-risk containment inmate.
Before that, however, he was rushed to the ICU to prevent him from dying on the spot due to excessive injuries.
Late at night.
Inside an old, broken car.
Ben couldn't sleep, tossing and turning as guilt gnawed at him.
Grandpa Max also lay awake.
Only Gwen, exhausted from the day's battles, slept soundly.
Ethen silently counted the time.
Waiting.
Until midnight.
"Ding, the host's Love Watch (Advanced Edition) has expired. Would you like to permanently retain it in the ability pool?"
"How much?"
Ethen asked without hesitation.
"Ding, detected that the host already possesses the Love Watch (Advanced Edition). A portion of the retention fee will be reduced."
"Love Watch (Advanced Edition) price: 150 Reward Points."
What the hell?!
Only 150 Reward Points?!
Ethen was stunned.
"Why is it so cheap?!"
After thinking it through, he understood.
The terrifying aspect of the Love Watch was turning a solo alien into a dual-combat combination.
But at its current level, the strongest unlocked alien was only around Way Big or Feedback tier.
So the price remained low.
But once it reached higher versions—
Or even the Max-Level Edition—
Its cost would be terrifying.
Expensive.
And horrifyingly powerful.
"Buy it!!" Ethen gritted his teeth and decided.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for permanently retaining the Love Watch (Advanced Edition)!"
Ethen spoke calmly.
"Open personal panel."
Host: Ethen
Physique: Ultimate individual among all Earthlings throughout history
Spirit: Far beyond ordinary humans
Genes: Earthling genes (with alien DNA resistance), Ancient Human King DNA
Skills: Comprehensive human combat techniques, firearm mastery, prototype encyclopedia
Ability Pool:
Original Omnitrix (Max-Level Edition)
Love Watch (Advanced Edition)
Reward Points: 90
The harvest had been plentiful.
"Now," Ethen said, "let's claim today's template."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining an Omnitrix Template."
"The Omnitrix Template acquired is: Reversal Watch."
"Reversal Watch: This watch has already been explained previously. To avoid padding word count, it will not be described again…"
Before the system even finished—
"I want it."
"I want it."
"I want it."
"The Reversal Watch is exactly what I need!!"
With Alien X as the baseline—
He would be a ceiling-level existence across the multiverse!
Only an idiot wouldn't choose the Reversal Watch!
Whoosh!
The familiar glow of the Reversal Watch appeared on Ethen's wrist.
He pressed his hand against the watch face and took a deep breath.
"Old friend… Welcome back."
Now—
Should he use Alien X to revive the people of the Swamp?
Or use the Clockwok to reverse time itself?
Endless possibilities flooded Ethen's mind.
