The group quickly set off, their destination none other than the center of this island.According to their speculation, the enigmatic dungeon master was likely there.Truly, this place resembled scenes from the primordial land. Alex even doubted whether the dungeon master they had previously encountered was some kind of monster.However, this possibility was rather slim. In the end, they would only know what this dungeon was like once they reached the island's center.They made their way up smoothly, encountering little resistance along the way. The higher they climbed, the fewer people they encountered, and eventually, they found some temporary peace.Alex glanced at Vanessa and genuinely praised, "With you here, everything is much easier."Vanessa chuckled without restraint. "No need to praise me like that, it's just basic truth."Alex didn't say anything more.They quickly approached the vicinity of the island's center.At this moment, Cale suddenly spoke up, "Hold on."Almost i
Alex quickly ran to the edge of the pit. There, the fire was blazing incessantly, radiating outward. Alex created an invisible layer of water enveloping himself, though the water still evaporated rapidly. There was no doubt anymore. This was indeed Lucifer's fire, but why would Lucifer suddenly go mad here?Looking down from above, Alex could only see the incessantly burning dark flames below from this vantage point, unable to see the situation inside."Hey, you better not jump down there!" Suddenly, Cale called out loudly.Alex couldn't help but glance at him, speaking in a low voice, "I'm not that foolish."Alex returned to Vanessa and the others. He looked at Vanessa and asked, "Do you have a way to teleport me to the bottom of the pit?"Vanessa, hearing this, couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly, directly shaking her head, "Of course, I could, but do you think I would do that? Don't be foolish. Lucifer might not die in his own fire, but you might not survive."Vanessa cou
After hearing Umbra's words, Alex fell silent for a moment. It wasn't that he wanted to think too much, but Umbra made him think a lot.Umbra and Lucifer had similar faces, and moreover, both of them lacked a soul. Frankly speaking, the two should merge. Alex wanted to say such a thing but felt it wasn't entirely safe to do so. The merging at this moment would be unstable.Furthermore, he still had two untapped regions where there might be remnants of a soul. Until he collected all the remnants, Umbra might remember something by then. At that point, merging wouldn't be too late.Thinking so, Alex glanced at Vanessa, asking, "Is there any way to help someone break free from being controlled?"Vanessa decisively said, "Very simple, just defeat Lucifer. Beat him unconscious and then destroy the source that's controlling him."At this point, Cherry also began to fall into a disadvantageous position. Its wing was scorched by Lucifer's flames, and it was now roaring furiously. An Emb
Hearing Black speak like that, Alex couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.He asked, "Is there any way to neutralize the power left by that divine beast?"Black quickly responded, "Perhaps... by destroying this entire island?"Alex: "..."Others only saw Alex fall silent for a while before suddenly speaking up, "I want to do something big."Cale couldn't help but be suspicious, and Vanessa furrowed her brow as well.Alex looked towards Vanessa and said, "Vanessa, can you and your subordinates lead everyone on this island to swim out to sea? You just need to notify them; whether they listen or not doesn't matter."Upon hearing this, Vanessa couldn't help but show clear suspicion on her face. "What's the meaning of this? What do you intend to do?"Alex replied sincerely, "I'm going to destroy this entire island. That's the way for us to escape from this place."Vanessa didn't know where Alex got this information from initially; ultimately, Alex had too many secrets, but she chose
Sonic quickly recounted the events, flashing a glance that made everyone understand part of what had happened. A worried crowd looked towards Alex. Mia furrowed her brow, her voice low: "The dungeon was aimed at him. Could he possibly pose such a big threat to them?!" Aegis, unable to hold back, added: "We need to be more careful from now on; we can't let Alex venture into the dungeon alone again." Sonic nodded vigorously beside them. Thomas remained silent, while Cale wore a face that spoke volumes.Did this group misunderstand Alex's capabilities? He had knocked Lucifer unconscious and then submerged an entire island. If they thought Alex couldn't handle a foe, who could?They were naive to a pitiable extent. Cale couldn't help but think so.By now, Alex had taken a breath, and strength seemed to surge back into his body. Slowly rising, he approached Lucifer, checking on him once more. As he had anticipated, Lucifer was indeed unharmed physically.But... the matter of his r
Upon hearing Alex's words, Lucifer couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly, speaking in a subdued tone, "This monster is truly cunning."But more than that, he himself failed to realize that he had been tainted by the energy of the monster, which was the biggest issue.Alex hadn't told Lucifer about the remnants of souls. Lucifer, not knowing this, was probably for some reason, and Umbra didn't even know how similar he was to Lucifer.Alex intended to deal with this matter after collecting all the remnants of souls in the primordial region.He looked at Lucifer, probing, and said, "Lucifer, do you remember anything from before the dungeon erupted?"Upon hearing this, Lucifer's eyes widened slightly, pupils contracting, his gaze dangerously scrutinizing Alex.Alex couldn't help but shiver a bit, though he didn't feel much fear in his heart. He couldn't help but say, "Don't look at me like that. Someone who doesn't know might think you're planning to kill me. Besides, your gaze is
Vanessa looked at Issac, her voice low: "I didn't search for them for any particular reason, I just wanted to say goodbye to them, that's all."Issac remained silent.Pausing for a moment, Vanessa suddenly spoke again: "Issac, do you sense anything? The chosen one this time is truly different. Perhaps this time... this time everything will be different. Perhaps this last time, the world will be saved."Issac stayed silent for a long while before nodding: "I feel the same way, just hoping that he can truly accomplish it."Vanessa pursed her lips, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.If anyone else were to see, they might be astonished to the point of gaping.The President of the Shadow Realm, one of the proudest among the proud, one of the strongest among the strong, shedding tears? It was truly unbelievable.However, Vanessa, of course, wouldn't let tears linger on her face.She blinked, and the tears vanished instantly.She looked at Issac, as usual, and asked, "How many questions
The group of Alex had to drive for a whole day to reach the center of Celestria. The center of Celestria looked even more dazzling and beautiful.The number of divine statues kept increasing, visible with just a short walk. Moreover, they could see more temples as well. Particularly striking was the temple. Elevated, it consisted of five temples merging together, with the central temple being the most prominent and tallest.At the top of the lofty tower stood a statue of a deity with six wings, seemingly poised to ascend into the sky at any moment. The sight was truly awe-inspiring, to the extent that even if Alex wasn't close to the statue, he could still feel its grandeur and majesty. After taking a brief moment to marvel, he began to head towards a location he had researched previously. That place was the black market.Indeed, even in Celestria, there was a black market. It was a gathering place for the forsaken. According to legend, these individuals were consumed by dark
