With the two crabs out of the way, the rest were nothing to be afraid of.
In just thirty minutes, all the Undead beasts were demolished.
The bridge, however, didnât disappear after the job was done. Instead, Shelly, wearing a traditional red
dress, stood elegantly on top of the bridge as she waved to Alex.
Alex furrowed his brows as he approached the bridge but did not dare to walk any further.
âCome up here!â
âI wonât become younger, right?â
âYou wish! What are you even scared of? Youâre the owner of this spiritual tool! Do you think itâd absorb
you entirely?â
Alex figured that she was right. He shouldnât be prohibited from touching his weapon after all.
As expected, he wasnât hurt in the slightest after getting on. However, he felt something within his
heart. Since this was a bridge that only the dead had ever crossed, standing on top of it made him feel
weird. The ancient and vast feeling of space, along with the weight of life and death, was a little too
overwhelming.
On the other hand, the bloody stains on the bridge were enough to make his heart skip with fear. He
could sense that it was not just ordinary blood. Neither the blood of the Undead beasts nor the crabs
were left on this bridge. So that meant that such blood stains were not left by just any entity.
As if she could read Alexâs mind, Shelly said, âYouâre looking at the blood of a demonic god in the past.
That bastard was very sinful. He had destroyed ten or so saintly grounds with his powers alone. He
was able to kill high priests, beheading them in the blink of an eye. Not even the lightning tribulation
could take him down, but he still ended up dying at Persephoneâs Folly Bridge.â
Alexâs eyes widened. It felt like he was listening to a myth. However, he knew that she was telling the
truth, but it was odd to listen to such atrocities like some kind of normal past event
He looked at Shelly. She looked like a little girl, her height was around 4.5 feets, but she sounded like
an old lady.
âHere you go!â Shelly threw something at Alex. âI told you Iâd treat you to some crab roe. Itâs the most
valuable thing on those two crabs. So it would probably be beneficial if you ate that. And by the way, Iâll
be taking the divine power now. Itâd be a waste if you kept it anyway. You donât even know how to
transform yet.â

When Alex found the location of the Mystic Maiden and the others, all of them were starting to get
worried. That was because the Mystic Maiden could sense Alex disappearing for a while. It was a very
unnatural occurrence since this shouldnât have happened in the first place.
After that, Alex told them about the space hallway.
âIt leads straight to the Wasteland?â
âThis is great! Weâve been stuck in the Endless Sea for nearly half a month! I felt like Iwas going crazy!â
Ynes and Pigsy were overjoyed. Although Alex was doing most of the work in their battles, they were
still happy that they got to leave this horrid place soon.
The Mystic Maiden said, âIt looks like your luck is pretty good. Space hallways are also known as
wormholes. There are lots of them within the universe. Some organizations with such expertise would
even take the time and effort to craft wormholes as a business! I wonder if the wormhole you found is
natural or artificial?â
No matter what it was, Alex just wanted to head home right now. His fatherâs condition was worsening
after all.
âCome on, letâs go home first!â
The group just walked through the wormhole after Alex said that However, the shark didnât dare to get
any closer, so they let it go instead.
After reaching the Pixiesâ land, Alex jumped onto Pigsyâs back and grabbed Ynes with him as well.
They then rushed off at ten times the speed of sound.

Right then, an unexpected guest arrived at the doorstep of Rockefeller Manor.
Clay had brought some men with him, barging into the manor as he yelled, âAll Rockefellers, get your
a*ses out here and knee! before us!â
