1....4...10...20...30...40..50...60..70..80..90...
A bar rapidly progressed towards the end. As it reached nearly 95, his consciousness was suddenly jolted.
Lying in the vast void of darkness, he bit his lips.
A trace of tears trickled down his cheeks.
'This should not have happened.'
'They don't deserve this.'
Muttering and gritting his teeth sorrowfully, he waited.
He had an ample number of counter plans still he had not expected a God to descend and force his wives into this state. He created another body and transferred some of his power while this body underwent the process to reach its peak.
He wanted to break out.
Nothing comes equal to the well-being of his wife but he held on. He suppressed his desire to break out of the procedure and destroy everything but the only reason he stopped was that he saw the power that had been dormant bursting out.
He always knew, his wives are not some dolls that need to be protected. They are strong, ridiculously strong. They just need a spark to wake and his death today was the spark.
Although, they may not awaken their full power still that was enough to hold the true god.
95....96....97...98....99....100....
After being trapped for an unknown amount of time, rays of light finally showered upon him and a series of notifications flashed before his eyes.
[Transfer Complete]
[All Limits had been removed]
[Sealed Power has been released]
[Host, congratulations. You are back to your peak.]
....
Quake...Quake.....Quake.....
"Why is this world shaking so much?"Quinn grunted and observed Alex.
After Alex created a second body and transferred his soul, he had to guard him in case of any trouble.
However, it feels quite boring to stay underground for so long.
"Damn man...I shouldn't have owed him. It would be interesting if he asked me for something which had great risk...Alas, he wasted such a precious opportunity."
Quinn who was in the midst of grumbling suddenly felt suffocation. He held his throat and fell on his knees. As he looked up he saw Alex's body shining with an ethereal glow.
Alex's eyes trembled the moment he opened his eyes.
BOOM!
The upper part of the ceiling was blown away, startling Quinn.
"What the hell?"
A thousand images flashed before Alex's eyes. His sense scanned everything. He felt as if he had become one of the worlds.
Nothing was hidden from his sight...
"Father. His heart suddenly stirred and many things which he was unaware of before had now become clear."
Ignoring wide-eyed Quinn, Alex's body vanished and appeared right before his father blocking the God Of Darkness's hands.
Whoosh!
"This..."
Everyone in the scene was stunned. Even the God of Darkness seemed to be perplexed.
They stared at Alex glowing brightly and looked down at another disfigured Alex dead body unable to understand what was going on.
"You...how did you become so strong..."
A bewildered voice echoed across the huge crack.
Turning away his attention, he stared at Kevin's pale expression.
"Are you ignoring..."
With a wave, Alex locked the entire area and froze the time.
His father burnt away his remaining life force. His body had traces of power of faith and divinity. He used everything in the last exchange.
Alex still did not know how his father was so strong. He was a mortal but his mortality threatened a God.
"Was it worth it?"
Kevin's eyes glowed and he raised his trembling hands to touch Alex's cheek.
"Yes, everything I have done is worth it."
"Go..finish things off. Once you finish this, ask Enoch to take you there."
The flow in Kevin's eyes dimmed and his hands fell.
Alex was feeling quite complicated. He had always thought that this guy hated him but now he did not know...
Alex stared down to see beads of water drops falling down his cheek.
He touched his eyes and muttered, "Why am I crying?"
"This guy is just like a stranger to me so why am I feeling so much anger and hatred? I did not think that anyone except my wife could make me feel like this."
Alex, unable to figure out his messy thoughts, stared back.
His eyes filled with sorrow flashed with chilliness like never before.
"Even stopping time could not avert death."
Alex muttered and as the time returned to normal,and he heard loud crises of his name.
"Alex...."
Alex stared at four haggard figures and tried to smile as gently as possible and spoke"Please wait for me."
He passed down Kevin's body to Enoch.
Showers of rain started to fall out of nowhere followed by strong gales. It looked like the entire world was grieving.
Alex stared at the God Of Darkness and said"You asked the wrong question."
"Let me rephrase your question."
"Instead of that you should ask just how strong I am."
"You can only threaten me by staying in our hideout. Why don't you come here and play?"The God Of Darkness snorted from the other side and retracted his hands.
"Then see what I can do."
His words startled everyone yet again.
Without caring about the looks the whole world is giving him, he stepped in.
"What.....Who gave you the courage?"The God Of Darkness's shocked voice echoed and he tried to close the portal.
Seeing this Hina shouted"God please save me. I don't want to stay here."
Surprisingly, even after Kevin's death the chains were still holding her and pinning her down.
Hina pleaded but her voice was ignored.
Alex stretched his hand and stopped the crack from closing. Like lightning, he entered inside.
His father had sacrificed himself to trace God Of Darkness and delay his descent. If he doesn't take this opportunity and show them who he is, he should stay at home and sweep the floor.
Alex moved past the crack and arrived at a space filled with nothing. It was just a void that made Alex click his tongue in displeasure.
He thought that this would lead to the Darkness realm alas.
As he entered, he threw a fist that travelled endlessly shaking the entire place.
"So many Gods here."
"I can vent my finger."
"Alex, let there be a massacre," Alex shouted following which the entire dark space became lit with a crimson hue due to Alex's killing intent which clashed with the strong aura of several Gods hiding out there.
