“Ah! Oh my god!” Ancestor Bodhi screamed once again.
He looked as if he were about to break down mentally. His eyes widened. After that, more pairs of eyes opened up as well, until all nine had opened their eyes. They even turned their heads to look at the group.
In the end, all titans were staring straight at Alex.
“Hey, kiddo, they’re all looking at you. Are they interested in you?” Ancestor Bodhi chuckled rudely. “You opened the place anyway, so it might be fate. Why don’t you try communicating with them, hmm?”
Alex was annoyed, grabbing him over and placing the Bodhi right in front of himself. ‘You’re a f*cking coward, yet you still dare to make such sarcastic remarks!’
“Whoaa…” Ancestor Bodhi cried out loud.
Just then, nine of those titans started shouting together. The noise was earth-shattering, causing the entire atmosphere to change drastically as waves erupted from the blood sea. The bottom of the sea then slowly showed itself.
Surprisingly, an endless number of people crowded together as if they were canned sardines. They stood neatly in rows, looking upwards as if they were looking at their gods. Their eyes were fixated on the nine titans.
All of them had more people coming out beneath their feet. They didn’t move in the slightest, as if they had been locked in this state since the beginning.
“What is that?” Alex quivered, unable to describe his shock. Suddenly, he couldn’t hear anything behind him, not even anyone’s breathing.
‘What’s happening?’ He turned to look, only to be shocked once more.
Shelly, Phoenix, and even Ancestor Bodhi, who was still in his hands, had all lost their consciousnesses as if they had turned into logs. He was the only one awake at the time. Meanwhile, waves of blood continued to erupt as the metal chains around one of the titan’s feet were tugged on. The sounds of metal clanking against each other sounded in the air while a ray of light shone through.
A while later, Alex heard a light sigh next to his ears.
Sigh…
It was a woman’s sigh, but not from any woman Alex knew, and that gave him goosebumps. He immediately turned and looked around, yet didn’t notice anyone.
“Who was that?”
“Who’s speaking?”
“Why did you come so late?”
He asked loudly, “Who are you? And where are you? Can you at least come out?”
The woman’s voice responded. “Am I not in front of you?”
“In front of me?”
Alex reached out, hoping to feel his way toward this being, but it was no avail. All he felt was air.
“La, la, la…”
The woman started humming a nice melody. Her voice was perfectly beautiful as well. Despite this, the melody sounded quite sad and could make anyone extremely emotional just from hearing it. As the melody continued, tears started trickling down Alex’s cheek out of nowhere.
‘Wait… What’s with me?’
