The Extra Who Shouldn't Exist novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Chapter 135 : Awakening of the Extra who shouldn’t exist

Ethan’s eyes were still locked on Alex, his heart pounding with adrenaline and fury. Then, a voice slithered through his consciousness—darker and colder than before.

"[Is that the guy who manipulated your sister? And forced himself on her?]"

Ethan’s expression darkened like a thundercloud.

’Yes... it’s him.’

"[Want me to get rid of him for you?]" Tiamat asked, his voice like a whisper riding on the winds of a storm.

Taking a pause ethan said.

’No need to go that far. Just give him a trauma so deep... he’ll never even think of going near her again.’

Tiamat clicked his tongue—an audible sound in Ethan’s mind.

"[My heir... you’re too soft-hearted.]" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

’Regardless... he’s my friend. And I’m a Hero.’

Just as Tiamat turned his divine gaze toward Alex with disdain, something changed. His vision—shared through Ethan’s eyes—caught movement behind the silver-haired boy.

Figures—no, silhouettes—began forming.

Multiple.

Each cloaked in an essence that bent the very rules of existence.

"[My heir...]" Tiamat’s voice faltered. "[Are you... seeing the figures forming behind him?]"

Ethan stared at Alex, who now looked back at him with a strange intensity, as if analyzing his every breath.

"I see nothing behind him."

Then suddenly—one of the figures, ethereal and undefined, moved.

A hand formed of energy—an energy so alien, so far beyond comprehension—that even Tiamat, Dragon God of multiple realms, could not identify it.

The hand lashed out.

Straight toward Ethan’s consciousness.

[The Realm of the Dragon God Tiamat]

Far beyond the mortal plane lay Dracorynth, the Realm of Dragons—a place of otherworldly majesty. Towering mountains rose like fangs into the skies. Volcanoes erupted golden fire instead of lava. Vast crystal forests shimmered in kaleidoscopic light. Treasures of unimaginable power lay scattered across its lands like forgotten pebbles. Power crackled in the air.

Dragons soared freely across this paradise—beings of legend, their every movement laced with divine might.

At the heart of this world stood a colossal obsidian palace etched with runes older than time.

Inside, within a hall larger than mortal cities, sat Tiamat—the Dragon God.

On his throne of molten crystal, he observed everything through Ethan’s mind and consciousness.

But then... he froze.

From Ethan’s vision, he saw the figures behind Alex take shape.

Tiamat narrowed his eyes, staring into Alex’s glacial blue gaze—so deep they resembled galaxies collapsing inward.

Then realization hit him like a celestial hammer.

’Impossible...’

Before he could dig deeper—before he could act—

A hand formed from an energy even he could not identify.

It shot through reality itself and grabbed his throat.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

A horrifying voice echoed right into his draconic ears, filled with scorn.

"How dare you look at him with those disdainful eyes... You, who begged at his feet like a worthless lizard for help—when you were nothing. Did you forget how you begged him to slay the former Dragon God?"

Tiamat’s thoughts blurred.

’No... it can’t be—who—?’

But his mind found no answers. No memory. Just the fog of a figure and dread.

A name struggled to surface... but nothing came.

He managed to stammer aloud, his voice trembling.

"You... You’re sealed! At the boundary of the cosmos! How can you be here!?"

The grip on his throat tightened.

Tiamat tried to morph into his true form—his divine, draconic self—but nothing worked.

Even his divinity flickered and failed.

He could still see Alex through Ethan’s eyes... and the figures behind him, growing clearer, growing real.

In the throne room, his body remained unmoved—still, calm. To the dragons kneeling before him, he appeared contemplative. But inside, their god was dying.

Suddenly, light filled the throne room.

A divine flame danced into form, taking shape as an ethereal woman stepped forth, her beauty rivaling creation itself.

It was Solara, the Phoenix Goddess.

Her hair flowed like strands of sunfire, skin aglow with soft radiance, her eyes holding the sorrow of eternity and the wisdom of countless lifetimes. Wings of incandescent flame folded behind her gracefully. Her presence alone made the divine tremble.

She screamed.

"Tiamat! Disconnect your link with Ethan immediately or you will die!"

The voice thundered through his soul like judgment itself.

Without hesitation, Tiamat severed the bond.

The hand vanished.

But a whisper remained—crawling through the void, coiling around his heart.

"Do that again... and even she won’t be able to save you."

Tiamat exhaled hard, again and again, trying to steady himself.

He looked at Solara, his voice strained and trembling with confusion and rage.

"Solara... what the hell just happened?"

She stood beside him, her radiant expression grim.

"You idiot. When you first laid eyes on him, didn’t you notice the essence around him? The very one we wondered why Ethan lacked?"

Tiamat’s eyes widened.

"I sensed nothing. But now I know—that guy in front of him is not ordinary."

Solara shook her head, then laughed lightly, though her voice was still shaken.

"Look at you... one of the most powerful gods in existence, reduced to this mess."

Tiamat growled, his rage flaring.

"If you were in my place, you’d have croaked! I’ve never felt such fear... not since the massacre of the Old Gods."

Solara nodded slowly.

"That was not normal. And honestly... I looked at that silver-haired boy too. There’s something about him. A familiarity. Like... we’ve met before, but I can’t remember when or where."

Tiamat muttered darkly.

"We need to speak with Aurora. Immediately."

He paused.

"I sensed something that shouldn’t exist—her. That woman... Zara. Right, Zara?"

But then he froze.

"That’s the strange part. I remember the name... but nothing else. No face. No form. Nothing. And yet, I know... she’s connected to that boy. Somehow—when she should be sealed."

He stood tall, his voice booming with fury.

"That child is dangerous. If I have to, I will descend into that world myself. I’ll destroy it if I must—to kill that boy."

At the name Zara, Solara suddenly tensed.

An unexplainable dread spread through her immortal soul—a god... trembling from a name.

She should’ve agreed. Destroying the world was the logical response.

And yet, as Tiamat spoke of harming Alex...

Rage—pure, blistering rage—filled her heart. Even she was wondering why she felt like this.

Without a word, she turned and vanished, her flames flickering into nothingness.

Tiamat stood, stunned.

"Solara? Where have you gone? We have to solve this—!"

No answer.

His fury boiled over.

Taking his true form—a colossal dragon with scales that shimmered like burning stars—he let out a roar that shattered the sky.

Planets cracked and exploded across his domain.

The lesser gods around his realm shivered.

Meanwhile, Alex—completely unaware that because of him a god had nearly died just moments ago—was walking toward the Warp Gate of the Phoenix Spire.

The hum of spatial energy from the gate shimmered around him, but his mind was elsewhere.

’System... you’re absolutely sure my legs weren’t trembling when I accepted Ethan’s challenge, right?’

A scoff echoed in his head.

"[Yes, Host. I’m sure. It’s a good thing you controlled your mouth, or he would’ve flattened you right then and there.]"

’This is serious! My title and my beautiful face are on the line. Looks like it’s time to go all out.’

"[You’ve got two days. Let’s make it count. Let’s start with the Awakening.]"

Alex’s eyes hardened. ’Yeah... let’s go.’

He stepped into the warp gate.

In a flash of golden light, Alex arrived at the Phoenix Spire—a towering structure. The sun reflected off its spires like molten diamonds. He rode the elevator in silence, ascending swiftly to the 10th floor.

Inside his private luxury apartment, he stepped toward the reinforced door of his training room. The marble beneath his feet resonated with ambient mana, pulsing gently with his presence.

"Zara," Alex said aloud.

{Yes, Alex.} came the smooth voice of his AI assistant.
