Creating such an effect wasnât difficult. It felt like the world was ending and death was near.
A middle-aged woman was the first to jump out. She swore the oath at the quickest possible speed,
following all of Alexâs requests. She shouted as she finished, âQuick, dude! Youâre now my dearest
brother. Send me away, please!â
Alex could feel clearly that the divine power in his mind palace had changed.
The womanâs oath had actually created a different kind of light in his divine power, one that looked like
fine golden strings. It was as if they were somehow connected.
âThat shouldnât be a bad thing!â Alex laughed to himself and immediately pulled the woman over.
âGreat, now Iâll open up a hole for you, this is the best I can do!â
âGo now! Once youâre resurrected, make good use of your life!â
Alex acted like he was trying hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood while opening a swirling passage.
The woman said, âYou take care too, brother! If things donât go well, leave immediately.â
Alex nodded, âAlright, thanks, girl!â
After that, the woman entered the passage and vanished in a blink of an eye. The crowd looked at one
another.
With a sigh, Maha said, âAlex, why torture yourself? Even opening the passage for a second will use up
your Buddhist attributes. They are moving so slowly too. Even if you use up all your powers, you will
save only a few hundredâ¦â
This sentence made a great impact. Just then, almost everyone started swearing, each moving faster
than the other.
In the mind palace, Shelly, the tool spirit of Persephoneâs Folly Bridge and Alexâs guardian, was
secretly watching everything that was happening outside. Her eyes almost popped out in surprise.
âAlex, that b*stard, is at it again! Fine, I get it! But Maha too? That honest guy had actually been
dragged into such lunacy?! Youâre one of the five revealers for f*ckâs sake!â
However, being Alexâs guardian, she was still protective of him.
âI donât think these trialists are unusually powerful, so thereâs no need to waste your ideas on tricking
them. Wouldnât wiping them out be easier? Theyâre just a bunch of peasants. Keeping them means
wasting resources.â
Soon enough, almost half of the people swore the oath and were sent away.
There was a small group left that could tell that Alex mightâve teamed up with Maha to trick them, so
they refused to take the oath. Alex stopped trying to convince them as well.
He turned to Maha, âMaster, I canât take it anymoreâ¦â
Maha said, âSee, I told you so. But you still made it till now. Fine, let me guide you instead.â
Whoosh!
Maha sent out a light that engulfed Alex. In the next second, Alex entered the real Pool of Afterlife. The
moment he landed in the water, he could still hear the remaining trialists crying in regret.
However, it seemed like Maha didnât plan on sending them away now. Leaving a few trialists there
made it more convincing.
