Unexpectedly, William continued to say the following, âKill me⦠Just kill meâ¦â
âWhat?â Alex was shocked, freezing up.
âHow could I possibly kill my own father?â With this, tears trickled down his cheeks.
William continued to speak to him telepathically, seemingly impatient. âQuick, kill me now, shatter my
soul. Else youâd be a grave dangerâ¦â
After saying that, his expression became twisted. He seemed to be in immense pain. His soul power
was shaking as well. Some traces of a new soul power had been generated, suppressing Williamâs
soulâ¦
âD*mn it. Who are you? Who the heck are you?!â
âWhy are you doing this? Come out here and face me!â
Alex yelled, nearly breaking down. As a son, he couldnât possibly stay calm in this situation.
Despite that, the powerful beingâs divided soul didnât respond to Alex in the slightest, as if it couldnât
hear him. In just a few moments, William fell silent once again, laying on the bottom of the vase, not
moving an inch.
âDadâ¦â Alex muttered under his breath, trembling with sorrow.
Suddenly, the lotus flower came to a halt, floating in mid-air. A spinning black hole formed above his
head, but it was stuck for some reason.
âHuh?â
âWhatâs happening?â
Alex placed the vase back in a safe place, but something went wrong. The black hole above his head
was trembling, becoming unstable by the minute. There was a black fog-like object dissipating as well.
It seemed that the entire black hole was going to crumble.
Alexâs heart dropped. âWhatâs with this?â
âIs the passage falling apart?â
âDoes that mean I wonât be able to reach the temple?â
Suddenly, the lotus flower released a golden shimmer as several Buddhist symbols caught on flames.
Even the petals caught fire.
Alex jumped from shock. âWhat is this? Is it trying to burn me to death?â
He then looked towards the welcoming monk, only to realize that he was no longer there. He seemed
to have disappeared into thin air.
âF*ck!â Alex panicked. He didnât want to die now.
However, the situation was out of his control. The burning flower was rushing into the black hole,
despite falling apart. Alex couldnât help but express fear. No mortal could stay calm when such large
amounts of energy were colliding.
Alex then used the strongest defense he had. He even used the Genbu Shield, holding it in front of
himself.
Boom!
Aloud explosion rang in his ears, and the energy within the black hole burst out as if a bomb had
ignited. Alex felt as if his body was getting crushed.
In an instant, the Genbu let out a loud howl as the Genbu Emperorâs phantom appeared in the air.
Thousands of feet tall, the spirit held back the gravitational energy within the black hole.
At the same time, the base was destroyed into pieces as well. Flames were sent flying into the air.
Some even landed on Alex.
The armor had activated on its own, protecting Alex. It wouldâve destroyed at least half of Alexâs soul
otherwise. Death was definitely a possibility as well.
âWhat the f*ck!â Alex yelled as he vomited a mouthful of blood.
âWelcoming monk my a*s! Thatâs a murderer right there! How could he do this to me?!â
After that, he realized that his surroundings had changed. No longer were there the rays of light, and all
he saw were ruins. Buildings had collapsed, and a holy tower had been broken in half.
There was even a Bodhi statue with bloody tears dripping down its eyes, with several stacks of
skeletons around it.
âWhere is this place?â
Alex was utterly shocked.
âWhy am I looking at such a desolate and sorrowful place?â
âIs this really Dairaionji Temple?â
