Alex disliked her, so he acted as if he didnât hear anything and ignored her.
This made her slightly mad. âHey! Iâm talking to you! Donât act dead in front of me.â
Alex puckered his lips and said, âYouâre too honorable. A poor guy like me will never be at your level.
So letâs keep a distance from one another from now on, alright?â
That made the black-hearted girl furious. âYouâre such an ungrateful and impolite kid!â
However, she wasnât 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 Alexâs 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.
âHow am I ungrateful and impolite? The previous times you helped me, I repaid you as well. They were
fair trades.â
âBesides, 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!â
The girl was furious and swore that sheâd 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 Alexâs mind
palace.
âAhem⦠Alex, Iâm different from the Requiem Clock. Heâs just an old guy, a common antique thrown at
the side and forgotten by Ksitigarbhaâ¦â
Before she could finish, the tool spirit of the Requiem Clock jumped out too. It sounded like an old man.
âShelly, how can you talk behind othersâ backs? What do you mean Iâm just an antique? Do you speak
without a conscience, kiddo? Come on, just swear by Ksitigarbhaâs name that you didnât cheat Alexâs
divine power. If you dare to do so, Iâll call you grandma.â
âGrandma? What bullshit! I donât want a useless grandson as old as you!â
âDamn it, kiddo! How dare you use such insults!â
âOh, the humanity! Iâve been watching you these past few days. To think that just battling a few beasts,
and you ended up so badly! You couldnât do anything other than stand and watch in anger! If it were
me, Iâd cook and eat those two crab demons easily.â
She then turned to Alex. âDonât say that I didnât warn you, brat. When the divine power is accumulated
to a certain amount, it has to be transferred, and this old guy here has no idea how. So only I can teach
you! Besides, thereâs a hidden secret in the Galileo temple, and only I hold any information about it. So
have a good think about this!â
âUhmâ¦â Alex was stunned.
He did, in fact, feel the divine power in his golden lake acting weirdly. It had already overflowed, but
still, it didnât form a sea. Instead, it flowed around randomly and couldnât be controlled.
âBesides, what other secrets are there relating to the Galileo temple?â
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 heâd 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!
