Subconsciously, the eyes of Darius, the first discoverer, the yellow-suited royal guards, and even the tiny insects present fell on the glass panel on the pod where Al'ravee's face was supposed to show with a peaceful face and closed eyes... But his eyes were not closed.
Al'ravee's eyes were wide open and they were staring straight at Darius.
###########
When everybody saw Al'ravee awake, they all felt their heart skip a bit. The people present could not help but feel like the gravitational force had increased a bit. It was already hard for them to keep standing.
The five royal guards in the super suit were better off. Although they felt the pressure, the suit reduced it by a lot.
Among them, Darius was the one who received the full brunt of whatever was going on. His face had turned pale and his mind was screaming for him to get out of the way but he couldn't move a muscle. But to the onlookers, he wasn't feeling anything at all as he stood there the same way he had been doing.
This was somewhat similar to the same thing the locals said they experienced only that it seemed weaker than their description. Even then, if this went on, they would definitely all faint.
Suddenly, like the powerful suppression never existed, the fear-inducing pressure disappeared.
Darius let out a breath he didn't know he was holding with a serious frown. What he didn't know was that Al'ravee was just fascinated by the new type of vision he had.
He was directly looking at a human-shaped transparent figure. This was Darius' soul.
With a blink on Al'ravee's part, the weird vision went away and he saw everything as it was.
They all saw Al'ravee set his gaze on the oblivious robot still focused on trying to cut into the metallic surface of the pod.
Then Al'ravee focused his attention on the pod he was in.
BAM
A loud sound echoed out as a rough fist-sized protrusion became visible on the pod.
Darius felt his mouth run dry seeing this. The angle of the protrusion showed that it was likely formed by Al'ravee hitting the pod with his hand from the inside. But how was that even possible?
Even he with the sleek mechanical suit would at most leave a scratch on this type of dense metal structure.
BAM! BAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAM! BAM! BAAM! BAM!
With every sound, it became clearer that Al'ravee was using his hand to pound the inner part of the pod. And with every pound, both the researchers and royal guards felt tremors pass through the ground.
The way Al'ravee was behaving was no different than a claustrophobic person except hundreds of times more scary.
The light inside the pod was already destroyed. More protrusions caused some metal pieces to start falling off.
The weird thing was that the force behind each hit seemed to be increasing
BASH!, CRACK!
Al'ravee had just bashed his forehead on the glass panel, causing it to have web-like cracks on it.
The people present immediately started moving away and Darius took several steps back in caution. After all, most of them present were royal guards who had seen the shittiest of shits. They just couldn't run away. They could only pull out their guns.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
As for the researchers, they were already running for their lives.
The glass panel was checked and Darius had seen a similar type of glass in important experiment testing sites and the royal palace. According to the current manufacturers of this said glass, 'Even if you detonated a bomb right beside it, at most it will gain some small scratches. You would have to set off a couple of explosives at once to break it'.
Yet, this ancestor of his had cracked it with a head bash. Didn't this mean Al'ravee had physical strength compared to multiple explosions?
"Impossible," Darius muttered under his breath even as he saw Al'ravee digging his fingers through the exposed part of the now battered pod.
Sensing that the pod's structure was now weakened and loose, he tore the entire pod into two.
Because of the amount of strength put into that action... BAM!, the two parts of the pod flew out and hit the surrounding tents.
The people present would have run away but they were awestruck by the figure of the naked man before them. Al'ravee's tanned muscled body was laid bare for all to see. Some of the single ladies couldn't help but blush as their eyes subconsciously wandered over to his crotch area.
Al'ravee himself wasn't paying any attention to them. Now that his movements were no longer restrained, he could take time to feel what had been around him and within him all this while.
With a single thought, he could feel the power rushing through his body making him just want to smash something. He looked at his palm and clenched it.
'This power... it's fucking amazing.' He mused in wonder. He was so drunk in the feeling of the concept energy coursing through his body that he didn't care about the people before him gazing at his naked body.
He could feel his soul clearly, he could hear things more clearly, he could smell things more clearly and he could think more clearly too.
This is why my father was so destructive. Who wouldn't want to release the urge to smash something with this kind of energy?
This was why my mother was worried about my personality. I would have gone for the concept of destruction or something similar had I known about my true origin from the very moment I stopped aging.
Hopefully, I made the right choice with THAT concept.'
Al'ravee sank more and more into the feeling of power that his consciousness was starting to get clouded and his emotions were starting to go haywire.
Darius was still gawking at his naked ancestor standing with unfocused eyes with a wide-open mouth. He was still stupefied at what just transpired. Apart from the fact that Al'ravee had torn the pod which they were hoping to reverse engineer, Darius could swear that he saw the former's eyes turn bright silver.
Even Darius himself with the help of the mechanical suit would not be able to break the pod like that.
Seeing the calm look on Al'ravees' face, Darius quickly came to his senses and tried to salvage the situation whatever way it was.
Raising his voice, he called out "Umm, Lord founder Ravee *cough* Sir... I am Darius Divera..." He began with caution, not daring to take a step forward. Al'ravee still had an unfocused gaze like he was not listening "I have come here on behalf..."
BOOM!!!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Hahaha haha!"
Similar to a comic book character experiencing a massive power-up, Al'ravee let out a crazed cry and in the process emitted a shocking omnidirectional force with him as the centre.
Darius was immediately blown off his feet backward by the terrifying force and crashed into a tent.
He got up unscathed as he set the weapon systems online quickly coming to a decision. The metal of the right arm of the suit shifted and a blaster assembled itself on his wrist.
*Clack clack click clack...*
Aiming his wrist blaster at the figure of Al'ravee, Darius was ready to shoot him down if he showed any signs of hostility. The other four people in mechanical suits rushed to stand beside Darius and also aimed their wrist blasters at Al'ravee. The surrounding agents also aimed their guns at the naked ancestor. All they were waiting for was an order.
But the next scene left them so fearful that they would have run away if not that they were just dumbfounded.
*CRACKLE CRACK TSHITI SPARK*
A ten-meter-wide round portal with electricity coating the edges appeared behind Al'ravee. A giant hand made of lightning came out of the portal, grabbed Al'ravee, and went back into the portal in a very short moment.
From the moment Al'ravee woke up to the appearance of the portal, over a minute had gone by.
Darius stood there with his team, pointing their arms at the empty air like fools. The agents let down their guns in confusion, looking around for anything suspicious.
'Is this a fucking prank.' Darius frowned. After thinking for some time, he concluded that someone else had stolen the founder using some kind of illusion to deceive them
After checking the surroundings and not finding anything, Darius was immediately put in a dilemma.
The Divera Dynasty founder whom they were supposed to retrieve was gone without a trace and the machine which they misunderstood as a life-prolonging machine, that was made their number one priority was torn beyond repair.
'What am I supposed to tell Lord Zummi?' He asked himself thoughtfully feeling quite depressed
After some time of thinking he gave out orders to track down the runaway researchers as he prepared to contact his superior.

"Thank goodness. Try to control yourself now will you." Ris said looking at Al'ravees' naked form standing on the white clouds.
