Unbearable

Hearing Tessa’s question, Alex came back to his senses. He slowly raised his head and said with a faint smile, "I have my own clever plan!" Before Tessa could react, Alex moved and vanished from where he stood.

Emma had been using telepathy to remotely direct all the X-Men and maintain order on the Floating Giant Island. Sensing something strange behind her, she turned around and discovered that Alex had left. She looked around but could not find him, so she looked at Tessa and asked in surprise, "Tessa, where’s Alex?"

Tessa raised a hand and pointed at the sky, her usually calm face filled with confusion. It looked like Alex was preparing to move the Floating Giant Island, but no matter how hard Tessa thought about it, she could not figure out how he intended to accomplish such an utterly impossible task.

Emma instinctively looked up and saw Alex standing in midair, the Tesseract hovering before his chest. Illuminated by the Tesseract’s flickering blue radiance, Alex looked exceptionally holy at that moment, like a true god.

As she watched, Emma gradually became lost in a daze, even forgetting to continue maintaining order. Her eyes held nothing but Alex’s tall figure.

Seeing Emma’s infatuated expression, Tessa could not help curling her lips. She casually asked, "Emma, do you know how Alex plans to move the entire Floating Giant Island?"

"Huh?!" Startled awake by Tessa’s question, Emma slowly came back to her senses. She turned to Tessa and tried hard to recall what she had asked. Suddenly, Emma froze. Her face instantly went terrifyingly pale. Then her body began trembling violently, and she collapsed limply as though all strength had left her.

Tessa was startled and quickly reached out to support Emma. "Emma, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!" After carefully checking her for a moment, Tessa found nothing wrong with Emma. Amid her confusion, she glanced sideways at Alex in the air and teased in consolation, "Emma, you’d better not let anything happen to you, or Alex will tear me apart when he gets back!"

Emma’s boneless body suddenly shuddered again. Somehow finding the strength, she abruptly stood up. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Alex, while her thin lips trembled faintly as though she wanted to say something. After struggling for a moment, she gave up.

Tessa had been watching Emma closely. Thinking over Emma’s successive changes, she looked at Alex, then carefully asked, "Emma, can you tell me what happened?" Emma’s strange transformation before and after was clearly connected to Alex, yet he had done nothing just now. He had not even contacted Emma, so why had she become like this?

Emma gave Alex in the sky a deep look and sighed. Turning to Tessa, she asked a seemingly unrelated question, "Do you know how he plans to move us?"

Tessa narrowed her eyes slightly. After a long silence, she shook her head.

Emma looked up once again at Alex, who was desperately driving the Tesseract’s power, and slowly said with a bitter smile, "Alex wants to use the Tesseract’s power and his Teleportation ability to move us out."

"He’s that stupid?!" Tessa looked up at Alex in disbelief, as though she could not believe what she had just heard.

When Tessa learned that the Savage Land faced destruction, she had already begun planning every possible means of escape. Alex’s method had naturally been among the options she considered. But the plan was difficult to carry out. Setting aside the initial evacuation of personnel, for Alex to move the Floating Giant Island alone was itself impossible. Even if Alex forced himself to do it, the immense mental pressure would surely overwhelm his consciousness and cause a complete collapse, ending in brain death!

It was precisely because of this conclusion that Tessa believed Alex would never choose this method. Alex’s earlier calmness and composure had also led her to believe that he had some perfect plan.

But reality exceeded Tessa’s expectations. Alex had truly chosen this path of certain death!

Tessa finally recovered from her overwhelming shock. Looking up at Alex, ripples spread through her calm eyes. After a long silence, she said, "Maybe not." It was as though she were comforting Emma, or perhaps herself.

"Is there any other way?" Emma seemed convinced that Alex had made his choice. The expression on her face did not ease in the slightest, and her empty eyes stared at the figure in the sky.

As Emma and Tessa spoke back and forth, Alex had already completed his initial preparations in midair. He had pushed the Tesseract’s energy to its limit while merging it with the Tesseract’s spatial power.

Relying on Teleportation alone, Alex could never move the entire Floating Giant Island, even if he drained all his Psionic Power. But with the Tesseract, an object possessing both spatial power and enormous energy, Alex was fairly confident he could complete this impossible task. Even so, he would have to pay an unimaginable price!

After confirming that Crystal had brought in the Pterodactyl-men, the other savages, and the beasts, Alex took a deep breath and let out a low shout, activating the Tesseract once more. In an instant, dazzling blue light burst from his chest, and everyone instinctively shut their eyes.

Emma desperately wanted to keep her eyes open and watch Alex, but after barely holding on for one second, she could no longer endure the blinding blue light and had no choice but to close them.

Just then, a vast and majestic voice rang out, instantly spreading across the entire Floating Giant Island. Though it contained only one word—"Go!"—it was like an endless tolling of bells, reverberating through everyone’s hearts.

The speaker could naturally be no one else but Alex.

With that roar, Alex once again forced up his energy to drive the Tesseract, while his Psionic Power rapidly spread outward.

Not enough! Still not enough! Alex’s Psionic Power was already immense, but covering the entire Floating Giant Island was still difficult. He had no choice but to repeatedly and recklessly unleash his own potential to strengthen it.

Finally, Alex felt his Psionic Power completely envelop the Floating Giant Island. Without hesitating for even a moment, he immediately activated Teleportation. At the same time, the Tesseract erupted.

Pain—excruciating pain from the depths of his soul—made Alex’s body shake nonstop as if an electric motor had been installed inside it. Sweat poured from him like slurry, turning him into a drenched figure in an instant.

Hold on! Hold on! The unbearable agony nearly drove Alex to collapse, but he could only keep encouraging himself. Teleportation had always happened in an instant before, yet at this moment, Alex felt as though several centuries had passed!
