Alex let out a sigh. His palm was stinging with pain. The battle was quite life-threatening, after all. ‘That female outsider is unexpectedly strong.’ Alex thought. ‘Then won’t the others on the airship be just as annoying as she is?’However, the most important thing they had to do now was to escape this place.He lifted Shirley in one arm, dragging the female outsider’s corpse with the other. After that, he used Instant Teleportation and escaped far away.Seconds after he left, three people rushed over as fast as lightning. They were the companions of the dead woman.They seemed to have some sort of special connection.“Alyssa’s dead. Her soul has shattered!”“Why would something like this happen? Alyssa Huffman is the best prodigy of the Horizon clan in 100 millennials! Yet she died here? The clan is going to go mad for this!”“The Huffmans would definitely look into her death. They might interrogate us and her fiance too. Oh god, this is too troublesome…”“That’s after we
Alex acted obliviously. “I didn’t notice…” Shirley interrupted him. “I already saw you in my mind. Why are you still lying? Tell me, is that little girl… me?”Upon hearing this, Alex knew that he couldn’t lie any longer, but this wasn’t his fault.He knew well that Shirley got in contact with a small green tree. The soul hiding in the tree had been waiting for quite some time to possess someone. She had entered Shirley’s mind and found that memory that had been locked away, using it for her gains. In other terms, she managed to release this memory.Even if Alex didn’t touch that memory of hers, she would remember it herself within a short time.“I think you should ask your father or your grandfather!” Alex replied, admitting to knowing about that memory.Shirley fell silent. Then after a long pause, she pointed at the corpse at the side. “I want her clothes.”Alex nodded. “You deserve it.”Shirley had contributed quite a lot during this fight. She basically gave her all. Ale
She even stomped on the armor. Her behavior was simply ridiculous.“This is so annoying! Why do such high-level battle suits not have the function to expand automatically? What trash!”Alex sighed after seeing her act like this. “These battle suits are probably made to be used in this place, so they’re made to fit the owner. You’re just… too big.”Shirley didn’t like that statement. “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? How am I too big? You’re just too small, you little Nutfeller.”“What do you mean by nut?”“Your little peanut!”Alex was speechless. ‘This is clearly an insult. I accidentally allowed her to slide that right into the conversation.’Shirley then looked at the ring Alex took. “What’s inside?”Alex brought out another battle suit. “There’s one more in here, but it’s the same size, so save the disappointment. But… I think there’d be no problem if you wanted this instead. It’s stretchy.”“What?” Alex pointed at the only thing left on Alyssa’s corpse. It was a
Shirley stared at the black tribulation cloud above her head. She felt as if the lightning was about to strike at any second. Her scalp felt numb. Her heart was pounding out of her chest at this point. However, these were all normal reactions.Since the soul was made out of Yin energy, ghosts would generally give out a chilling aura as well. Such entities were terrified of lightning. Typically, both flesh and bones would be protecting the soul, completely covering it up. It was completely different this time. Shirley’s soul would have to endure the strike of several lightning bolts. No one would be able to handle that.Alex handed her the helmet Alyssa used. “Wear this. It highly protects and enhances soul power. Besides, just tie these clothes to your body!“Don’t worry. It’s just lightning. Think about it. You’re now crossing the Immortalization tribulation. If you succeed, you’d be Immortal. I don’t even get the chance to, no matter how much I want it. You should be proud o
Although she was yelling at him, Shirley was filled with mixed feelings.At first, she hated Alex’s guts. She hated him for destroying Homan Technology, which she built with blood, sweat, and tears. The worst part was that he once made her clothes explode, hence seeing her naked body. He even tied her to a bed, restricting all her movements. All this made her wish she could eat him alive.However, she realized an exceptional trait in Alex after they decided on working together.He was very protective of his family and allies. Being his ally was completely different from being his enemy. The difference was pronounced as she watched him voluntarily take the lightning to help with her tribulation crossing. This action had nearly melted her heart.On the contrary, Alex was currently thinking of this-‘Lightning tribulation, you’ve got to be fair!‘Since you’re supposed to be an Immortal lightning tribulation, you should at least strike nine times. If you don’t like that number, I
Shing-A pink halo formed around Shirley’s body. It was filled with faint talismans.Those were the signs of a successful Immortalization, the Immortal Wheel of Life.With this, Shirley finally snapped back to reality, accepting that she had succeeded in Immortalization, becoming the first Immortal within the new generation of America.“I… really am Immortal now!“I actually succeeded!”She looked at Alex, seemingly excited.Alex nodded, grabbing the broken helmet and clothes. He then shook his head pitifully and said, “Too bad about these two though. They’re actually pretty good tools.”However, he quickly turned back and approached Shirley, tugging on her hot pants lightly. “I really didn’t expect this little thing to be the strongest treasure. It’s completely fine even after taking a bolt of lightning. I’ll bet that some powerful woman wore this. And it should be pretty ancient, with a strong scent to it too.”Shirley was just about to thank Alex, yet she became agitated wh
Alex said, “Mhm, I never asked you to battle alongside me. You’re just a transport, after all. So just do a good job, be smart, and analyze when the situation gets dangerous.“You can escape alone if you think the enemy is too strong. Save yourself. Else I wouldn’t be able to find another transport as fast as you.”Pigsy’s expression immediately turned gloomy, but it didn’t know what to say.Alex ignored its little pity party and described everything that happened just now. He also mentioned the cultivator from another world and the scroll that recorded the language of Galaxy Nova, sharing it with everyone else.A short while later, the group started discussing in the cave. First, they read the books they obtained to understand more about the origins of the people from Galaxy Nova;Secondly, they looked into what Galaxy Nova knew about the Underworld, which they urgently needed;Thirdly, the thirteen ways to use bone patterns.It was apparent that Galaxy Nova had done in-depth
All of a sudden, an arrow shot at them.Alex and the others were all focused on the ruined temple that appeared out of nowhere, and as a result, a demonic arrow flew at Shirley's head."Watch out for the enemy attack!"Zendaya was the closest to Shirley. She did not think twice and immediately reached out to grab the demonic arrow.However, a bright red light shone. The arrow traveled so fast that it made no sound. Zendaya's palm appeared greenish, which was the color of her bone markings at this moment.After half a year of hunting bone demons and devouring bone lines, Zendaya's body was now covered with dense blue bone markings. Her immortalization was also far beyond the early stage. With her hand, she would be able to grab a cannonball and shatter it.However, the reality was…Swish!The demonic arrow grazed her palm that was covered in bone markings. Then, it instantly shattered her finger bones. Her entire left hand was fractured.The arrow, however, was only slightly de
