Alex disliked her, so he acted as if he didn’t hear anything and ignored her.
This made her slightly mad. “Hey! I’m talking to you! Don’t act dead in front of me.”
Alex puckered his lips and said, “You’re too honorable. A poor guy like me will never be at your level. So let’s keep a distance from one another from now on, alright?”
That made the black-hearted girl furious. “You’re such an ungrateful and impolite kid!”
However, she wasn’t a good person either. Every time she wanted divine power from Alex, her requests increased a hundred times more than the last. She did use a part of it, but another large amount of it became her possession.
In Alex’s previous battle with the beasts, she saw with her own eyes how Alex used the Requiem Clock and transferred a large amount of divine power to it. In contrast, she got nothing. It was as if Alex had forgotten her existence, so she was here to remind him.
“How am I ungrateful and impolite? The previous times you helped me, I repaid you as well. They were fair trades.”
“Besides, Clinton already told me that every time you asked for divine power, a big part of it was for yourself! Do you wanna scam me further? Keep on dreaming! Just sit back and enjoy the rest of your days!”
The girl was furious and swore that she’d get her revenge from the Requiem Clock. However, she was just a tool spirit, and it was undeniable that she had no power over the Requiem Clock in Alex’s mind palace.
“Ahem… Alex, I’m different from the Requiem Clock. He’s just an old guy, a common antique thrown at the side and forgotten by Ksitigarbha…”
Before she could finish, the tool spirit of the Requiem Clock jumped out too. It sounded like an old man.
“Shelly, how can you talk behind others’ backs? What do you mean I’m just an antique? Do you speak without a conscience, kiddo? Come on, just swear by Ksitigarbha’s name that you didn’t cheat Alex’s divine power. If you dare to do so, I’ll call you grandma.”
Alex called out to Shelly.
After an hour of discussion, they finally came to a common ground that both parties could accept. Then, it was followed by another two hours of recovery until Alex finally got up to his feet.
Now, his wounds were fully healed, and his powers were further increased. Next, he went back to the space hallway.
At first, he was worried that it was a one-way passage, but when he felt himself passing through the tunnel, he knew that he’d succeeded. Soon, he regained vision and reappeared in front of the sea of Undead Beasts.
Two Undead crab beasts as tall as mountains were glaring straight at him with their gigantic eyes!
