Chapter 1142 Swooning across the realm

Lex did not even need his spirit sense. His left eye had mutated a long time ago, allowing him to peek at things related to laws, but that left his right eye as normal. Recalling how cool it felt using Evisceration with his eyes, Lex underwent the journey to find cool and powerful techniques based on his eyes. He was not, in any way, inspired from any anime he had seen, as that would be unoriginal and plagiaristic, which he was not.

After consulting Pel, Mary, and Dr. Best, as well as a few other knowledgeable people as well as the many records in the Midnight Library, Lex discovered something genuinely surprising. Among the many races in the universe, and many powerful abilities, one of the most powerful eyebased abilities had actually been developed by a human countless eons ago.

It had a long and epic lore behind how it was created, not to mention an amazing yet tragic history of how it disappeared over countless years. The person who created it was a Prime, which is also something Lex studied a bit about. But the more important matter was it gave Lex the inspiration to create his own technique which would also have an awesome and epic lore that he would hire someone to create for him at some point eventually.

He channeled his energy into his right eye and illusory characters began to appear on his sclera around his iris, while a tiny Glyph appeared within his pupil. The characters that filled the white part of his eye formed an array, while there was an accompanying Glyph in the middle of his eye which worked independently of the array while complimenting it, forming a synergistic effect. That, accompanied by his spirit energy which had countless affinities and could easily act as a bridge between his eye and the effects of the array and Glyph.

It sounded complicated, and it really was, but it resulted in a unique eye-technique that was completely unique to Lex. It was nowhere near being the best in the universe at the moment, but it had the potential for it.

Time seemed to slow in his eyes and his vision zoomed in on the meteor, allowing him to not only see it, but analyze what was so special about it. Compared to the Molten Giant, the meteor was actually much more dangerous as it carried a hint of a law Lex did not recognise, and it was clearly and directly aiming for the angel.

But while it was powerful, the only thing that made it actually dangerous was that hint of laws. Considering Lex could deal with them even in his current state, it was not an issue.

His eye focused on the meteor, and it seemed to dissolve into thin air, disappearing from sight.

In truth, all Lex had done was push it behind space and into the Void, but without creating any spatial fluctuations, no one could tell what happened.

"Amazing, ladies and gentlemen! Just amazing!" the narrator roared on everyone's screens. "Just a gaze was enough to erase any threat before him. Looks like it's going to take more than a small meteor if someone wants to take the angel away from his strong, steady arms. Get voting, ladies and gents, if you want to see them end up together, or be ripped apart. In the meanwhile, let's check up on our other contestants."

Lex shook his head once the meteor disappeared. Why would people volunteer to come to this death show? It made no sense to him.

But if they could get their hands on Lex... better yet, if that angel could get Lex to fall in love with her and then get married...

It was as if proverbial dollar signs appeared in the eyes of countless angels across the realm.

"I'm a doctor, healing people is my business," Lex shamelessly boasted. The truth was, he had devised multiple techniques that used the healing factor of his blood without having to actually use his blood. Originally he thought that this would reduce the effectiveness of his healing, but under the right conditions, it could actually be better.

"I... my name is Thaliel Silverlight. How... how may I address you?" she asked, a soft blush appearing on her face. It wasn't that she was suddenly enamored by Lex, though the more she thought about how powerful he was, and his good looks, and his medicinal prowess, and his calm attitude...

No, she was blushing because she was looking forward to having her wings healed. That was it. She was not in denial at all.

"My name is Lex. I'm going to go search for my target now. You can accompany me if you wish. If we come across the spring then we can part ways."

"Ah, yes, of course. But leaving is not so easy. We need to complete objectives to be able to move on. Each territory has its own objective. I suppose rescuing me might have..."

"Don't worry about it," Lex said as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "It's not so easy to stop me."

With that, Lex teleported himself and Thaliel away. An invisible barrier appeared, blocking their teleportation, but Lex needed to only touch it for the barriers to unravel. Putting up defenses in front of him, the uncrowned king of defense, was a joke.

But even though Lex was now aware that countless people were probably watching them, since he was on a show, he did not know that his casual action of dismissing the barrier and becoming the angels rescuer had caused countless women across the realm to swoon. At the same time, Thaliel suddenly felt like she was in danger. It was as if countless people across the realm suddenly were suddenly targeting her and wanted her gone.

Lex was not paying attention to the blushing angel beside him. He had already used the tracking technique to locate which way Sim was, and was heading that way. He just needed to stop after every short while as there were countless barriers blocking teleportation across the planet.

At the same time, he also spread his spirit sense around him. Since this was a 4 star planet, he wouldn't mind grabbing a few treasures if he came across them. It would be practically criminal to just let them be.
