Out of all the people present in this world, the ones that Marcus truly fears are only the Returners. After all, it was only them who had the real powers to make decisions about his life.

As such, Marcus was never truly that relaxed in his stay here in the Traveler's World.

But aside from them, there is another person that Marcus does not dare to offend.

And that person would be a furious, wrathful Alex.

"Ok, ok. I need to calm down. Panicking here would not help matters…." As he felt his body freezing from the sheer overpowering presence by Alex, Marcus could only sigh as he realized what was about to happen next.

"Since we already defeated the others, then I think we should leave already. We will just leave the fighting to Leader Alex. Yes. That's what should happen. After all, there's no way that we can survive if we watch Leader Alex fight with another Returner…"

Now that he and his allies had defeated their opponents, Marcus knew that it was now time for Alex to step in and take control of the Control Room. But for whatever reason there is, it appeared as if there was a Returner who wanted to fight Alex now.

Such change in the situation was something that Marcus did not like, and he's surely not interested on getting involved with this change anymore.

If Alex wants to fight, then he can fight. But he must at least let Marcus and his allies leave first….

With this on his mind, Marcus swiveled his eyes as he looked at Alina, who was the only person who can effectively bring them away.

"…"

 He stared at her with the intention to make her bring them away, a gesture that his allies also shared.

"…" But instead of replying in the way that they expected, what Alina told Marcus and his allies were quite the opposite.

"As much as I wanted to bring you away already, I cannot do that, as an extremely strong enemy has used his power to prevent us from leaving." Alina said, with her dry tone explicitly showing how angry she is still. "No matter which space power or teleportation power that I used, none of them worked properly, and I think that even my allies' powers are not working right. Oh, and your powers might be affected too."

"Wait, Traveler Alina. You said that you cannot teleport us away? Does that mean-"

"Yes, Marcus. It means that as of now, all of us are stuck here." Alina abruptly said, cutting off Marcus' hysterical voice. "I do not know how this has happened, but I am sure about one thing: The one who trapped us here is the Returner who is about to fight Alex."

"…."

Silence.

That was the only thing that Marcus and his allies could emulate now, as they found themselves at loss of words about what had happened.

They just won against an easy opponent, but now an extremely strong opponent has arrived to make trouble with them?

And it is a Returner, of all kinds of people!


With this info now confirmed by Alina, there is no way that everyone will just be happy after their small victory. After all, an invading Returner is someone who's leagues more dangerous than the other weaker Travelers in this world!

There is no way that Marcus and his allies can survive if that Returner focuses its attention on them!

"Hahaha, it's all over now. It's all over…. " No matter how much confident Marcus was about his leader, it is hard for him to believe that Alex will win, given the sudden show of power by their opponent.

If the incoming Returner was able to easily mess up Alina's power, then what can stop this Returner from affecting Alex's powers too?

If this Returner can also affect Alex's powers in some way, it will already be a game over for everyone present, especially for Marcus and his allies!

"….."

With this realization now fully realized by almost everyone in the area, nobody from the followers were able to maintain a happy attitude.

Instead, a downcast atmosphere began to permeate the area, which was only worsened by the fact that they could not use their powers properly too.

Each one of these people found their powers seemingly unusable at this point, including Marcus, whose magic now was just small fizzles of useless bursts.

"S**t!

No matter how much Marcus and the others tried to use their abilities and powers, they do not work like how they were intended to, leaving all of them all in a state of greater panic.

"Ugh, we just went to this world to have an easy mission, but now this? This… this is not what I excepted to happen today!"

***************

With the realizations that all of their powers were not working right, it is inviable for everyone to panic, as it is the natural reaction for this kind of situation.

However, even if panicking was natural, for someone like Alina, this exact kind of emotion was of no use right now.

"I know that all of you are worried, but now is not the time to do that." The still-angry Alina barked out these 'motivational' words at her followers, as she seemed to be attempting to cheer them all up. "The Rainbow Quasar, Soul Exacaliber, Magnificent Dude might be a powerful Returner, but that does not mean that he can have his way with us!"

"…." Marcus and the other followers did not exactly give any responses to Alina's comment, as if what Alina said did not fully register in their minds. They just stared at her like they had just woken up, with their bodies devoid of any desire to move.

Such reaction made Alina's already boiling anger reach its peak, but she tried her best to suppress it.

"I don't know how this Returner has managed to fight Alex when he's not even allowed to fight here, but that does not give the Rainbow Quasar, Soul Exacaliber, Magnificent Dude the leverage to win over us!" Alina added hoarsely. "With our alliance here, even if our powers are affected by this Returner, should we allow him to just roll over us? Of course not!"

"But Traveler Alina, our powers are-"

"Don't give me s**t about your powers! Your powers are still working, there's just something that is making our powers work wrong!" Alina looked like she was about to pounce the Traveler who replied to her, but she fortunately controlled herself. "So don't look at me like your life has ended just because your powers are not working right!"

"…." Although the Travelers looked still as panicked as before, Alina noticed a spark of ferocity in their eyes, something which she knew was roused by her words. This spark might be just small, but for now, it is enough for what Alina has planned to do.

"If you want to be free from this situation, then find a way to break free from this strange situation! Cooperate with each other, and find a way to make our powers work again!" Alina shouted out, with her voice laced with all the roiling emotions inside her body.

Alina did not hide her anger, her uncertainty, and her tension, as she allowed it to pour out towards the Travelers.

Like a wave created from a lake, Alina's emotions poured all over the Travelers, with not a single one of them spared from exposure.

Alina's emotions might be abstract and not material, but with her domain over Dark Magic, her emotions were enough to influence all the Travelers that were exposed by it.

"!!!"

Like a dry stick lit with flames, the pervious lethargy and fear from Marcus and the other followers began to burn with anger, as if they began to sympathize with Alina's feelings.

"Argh!!!"

These followers might not know why Alina is angry, but they can feel her rage burning inside them, urging them to move and to make an action.

"Now, what do you want to do, Travelers? Do you want to stand there like scared kittens, or will you fight back against your fate? Tell me!" Alina shouted as she felt that the Travelers were now swaying to her favor. "Tell me!"

"We fight!"

"Tell me again!"

"We fight!"

"Good! Now get moving!"

"Yeah!!!!" With a war cry as loud as an explosion, all the Travelers that heard Alina's declaration began to make their actions. Even if their powers were not working right, it did not stop these people from doing something.

"…."

Upon seeing that her message has worked, Alina heaved a sigh of relief, something that she had been holding back since earlier.

"Good. Now that the matter about these malfunctioning powers will be dealt by the followers, it is time for me to do my job too." But even though she sounded relieved, it is obvious on Alina's eyes that things were still about to get started.

The problem about the malfunctioning powers was just an undercard match, which will be tackled by the Returners.

As for the Main Event, it is still about to happen, and Alina has no reason to just avoid it.

"Hmph, since the Rainbow Quasar, Soul Exacaliber, Magnificent Dude has decided to make his move, then we will make our own too. Since he had done some cheating to break the rules here, then we will break it too! If he fights Alex now, then we will join in too!"

"Boom!"

With that declaration, Alina ignored the torturous pain inside her body as she flew towards Alex.

"Woosh~"

As much as Alina wanted to curl down on the floor and cry from the intense pain, she endured it as she knew that assisting Alex on his fight is of great importance now.

"Tsk, this pain might make me want to die, but this pain is nothing compared to what would happen if we lose! So Rainbow Quasar, Soul Exacaliber, Magnificent Dude, don't expect that your tricks on us will work your way!"

"Ugh…" Behind Alina, her similarly powerful companions accompanied her, as they also showed the intention to assist Alex.

Delia, Queen Mother, Professor Frances, Yao'er, and Milo all looked like they were in severe pain too, but just like Alina, they all held it in as they hastened on approaching Alex.

The sight of these people joining her did not improve Alina's emotions at all, as she knew that they were supposed to also help Alex. But some part of her was inwardly relieved, as she was actually doubting that they can help her.

For her companions to actually brave through the torturous pain and their malfunctioning powers was a sign of their reliability, something that Alina was extremely grateful for.

"Hmph, who cares if the Rainbow Quasar, Soul Exacaliber, Magnificent Dude has a power that can mess up with the Power Systems and also torture us? With Queen Mother, Processor Frances, Delia, Yao'er,  and Milo  with us, we can surely find a way to defeat him!"

With this vindictive thought in her mind, Alina let out a sharp laughter as she continued her approach towards Alex.

This time, Alina hastened her pace, as she saw that their opponent, the Rainbow Quasar, Soul Exacaliber, Magnificent Dude, was just about to start the fight with Alex.

"Just you wait, you Rainbow guy. You may have the advantage now, but that won't last for long!"
