"Leoz." Alex glanced at him, asking him to start destroying the portal.

Leoz closed his eyes, channeling half of his Divine Energy to this attack as he chanted. "O' Ancient Thunder God, what is it that lies within your eyes? O Bright Thunder that splits the Heaven, rumbling tremors that shake the Earth, what pulse beats within your ears? Dwell inside me o God of Lightning as I am Thunder Berserker, Spirit Vessel."

Alex lifted his vision after hearing the rumbling sound and was literally shocked by what he saw. The black cloud had a sense of familiarity as it contained purple lightning instead of Leoz's yellow lightning.

"This is… Lightning Tribulation?!" Alex widened his eyes, never expecting to see Leoz calling the Lightning Tribulation.

"Using my body as a Spirit Vessel, I am channeling my power to call the Lightning Tribulation. No, I should say the World's Will. You might have no memory about it, but this is the technique I received when you strengthened my Thunder God Cannon. It connected me to the world's will effectively, thus giving me this result." Leoz explained while smiling.

Alex had no words about it. He never knew that it was when Leoz finally became a dependable young man that Alex rewarded him by upgrading his ability. The current him could only be impressed by the power of this technique.

Leoz focused back on his control and clapped his hand, calling the Lightning itself.

"Lightning God Possession, Heaven's Wrath!"

Just like how people thought that Heaven was the sky, the so-called Heaven's Wrath was the Lightning Tribulation coming from the world. Still, due to the world classified as a Divine World, this technique brought more power than it would ever do in the previous world.

The lightning bolt formed and struck forth.

Alex saw the portal emitting more energy because it sensed the incoming lightning but to no avail.

With the world taking action, nothing would be able to prevent it!

The purple lightning burned the portal, gradually turning it into smithereens. Alex activated his Spirit Eyes to watch this, observing the energy flow so as to catch the thing that built the portal.

It led him to an underground array that seemed to be built inside an underground room. When he was about to destroy the ground, the lightning from Leoz's attack slipped through the ground and connected to the array.

By the looks of it, the array itself was a formation, containing a few arrays to connect two worlds while maintaining stability. With the arrays starting to get burned, he closed his eyes, knowing that his promise had been delivered successfully.

"Since I have finished my objective, it's time to go to Alicia. Still, I need to know where I am right now." Alex thought for a moment and glanced at Leoz. "How are you?"

"I am fine, but I think it's better for me to rest inside the card. If possible, call Nelson to accompany the Master because he will be the most useful for this." Leoz suggested and disappeared as soon as he got a nod from Alex.

"Summon."

"Master." Nelson clasped his hand as a greeting before cutting to the chase. "It's best to leave this place first."

"Sure. You lead. It's not like I can use my Teleportation just like that because I don't know the terrain in our surroundings… I don't want to suddenly teleport to the center of a city." Alex nodded and stretched his hand, asking Nelson to go ahead.

Nelson thought for a moment and nodded. "Please follow me."

Alex nodded. Unlike Firia, Alicia was not a member of his Spirit Nest, so he couldn't ask her to summon the spirit on her side. So, he needed to know her position first before doing anything else.

He followed Nelson for around thirty minutes before arriving in a desolate forest.

"Master, I think we need to camouflage ourselves as a devil. If I am not wrong, there will be a God Rank expert roaming around this area soon, and he will be able to find us at a single glance," said Nelson while putting on a serious expression.

"How?"

Nelson also didn't have an answer. Appearance-wise, they could easily camouflage as one, but energy-wise, it was easy to tell if they didn't have their energy.

"I believe Young Master should wait in this place while I am gathering information about our position. Since Lady Alicia is searching for the Green Devil Tribe, I believe they are going to the most powerful continent where the Gods reside. I believe we can start our search there." Nelson offered a suggestion.

"Sure. I am perfectly fine. If you think that is the best we can do, then no need to hesitate." Alex nodded.

"For now, try to conceal yourself first and put on this mask. Unless it's something special, I don't think the devil will ask you to take out your mask. At the same time, you should change your clothes to a long-sleeve one, so they won't be able to see your skin."

Alex agreed with his suggestion and changed clothes before he realized Nelson had disappeared.

He then started his own investigation of his surroundings, making sure there was not a single devil nearby.

…

In a nearby area, there were two bodies lying in a pool of blood. Their body was that of a devil, but one could see that both of them were females.

Alex found this area not long after starting his search.

"There is not a single living being nearby," Alex muttered while looking around. "Should I search the corpses? Who knows there is something valuable or a map in their possessions… Wait!"

Alex took another look and realized there was an array in their body, and if he took another look at them, they seemed to be alive.

After breaking the concept of the array, he realized that the woman on the left seemed to be stronger than he expected and her energy was far more than him.

Next to her was also a powerful being that seemed to have the same cultivation as him. This was something he couldn't understand, considering each God Rank Experts were treasures.

"What are they doing? The array… Did they actually put it themselves to make them look dead? Or the enemy did it to them?" Alex tried to comprehend the intention, but to no avail until he completely understood the concept of this array.

"There are two arrays on their bodies. The first array is called Union Death Array. It's an array that puts someone in a half-dead state. If the master of this array is them, they can wake up anytime. If they are not, only those who take control of it can wake them up.

"The second array is called Devilization Array. According to my memory, this is a special array from this world. The devils seem to use this to increase their subordinates. It's a special array that could turn one into a devil, starting from their energy. Welp, on Earth, you can say it's selling your soul away to the devil… In a sense."

Alex furrowed his eyebrows before a small wolf came out of his body, gradually turning into a beauty.

"Master!" Sherry hugged Alex and called his name with a low tone because she knew what happened outside.

"Sherry?" Alex widened his eyes.

"Yes."

Alex took a look at her body and realized it was already a Divine Body as well. He said, "Congratulations on achieving a breakthrough."

"Yes, thank you, Master. Actually, I finished as soon as Master arrived in this world, but I decided to wait because you were fighting someone. I was going to wait for a little bit more until you reached a safe place, but I felt something from the two down there." Sherry pointed the two devils on the ground.

"Huh?" Alex tilted his head in confusion. "What did you feel?"

"I feel a sense of familiarity. And my nose seems to recognize their scene… No, I should say one of them."

"One of them?" Alex couldn't understand her and asked. "Can you elaborate?"

"Hmm… How should I say this? I don't know who she is, but I should have known her in the past because my nose said so. I don't know what Master is thinking and don't receive any of your memory, so only you who are supposed to recognize her." Sherry shook her head in disappointment because she couldn't help Alex with this.

"No, I think that is enough for you." Alex patted her head. "Well, you can return inside first because things will go rough from now on."

Sherry nodded and disappeared. "See you later, Master."

"See you later." Alex nodded before falling into deep thought. 'Now… What should I do about this? There is something that I need to check first before going there, but—"

Before Alex's thought ran wild, the system seemed to have noticed it earlier than him as a notification immediately appeared.

[Host. I think the situation is not like what you think it is.]

"What do you mean?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows.

[Take a look at their cultivation once more.]

"It's Rank 10 God and the other one… I don't really know whether she is a Rank 8 God or a Rank 7 God because I have never seen them. I can't compare it."

[It's good enough. Then how about you take a look at your energy and compare it to you and your spirits.]

Alex felt something wrong and took another look at them, comparing their energy to Anna and the others, and it shocked him to see they had a similar energy. Every species seemed to have a different set of energy, or it could be said as flow.

The energy flowing inside the spirit had a pattern, the energy flowing inside the devils or even Sherry also had a pattern different from that of a spirit.

But what he saw from them was actually the one that the spirits have. This baffled him because he certainly remembered that Alicia and a helper came to this world to fight the Green Devil Tribe.

Anger started coming out of his eyes as if he wanted to murder someone before Lin Xingzhi reminded him once more.

[Host. I know you are angry, but please calm down and listen to me this one time. Take a look at their body, and you will see no wounds in their body. At the same time, they also don't have internal injuries. Firia has learned Alchemy, but do you remember what "she" has learned?]

The anger quickly dissipated when he realized it and couldn't help but comment. "So, she makes the array herself? What is the purpose?"

[I don't know. Maybe you can ask her yourself with a thought transmission if you are unsure whether to approach her now.]

Alex took a deep breath and decided to follow the instruction. It seemed that she had a plan in her mind to fake her own death, so he decided to ask her first before coming to her.

The woman twitched her finger because what she heard was truly ridiculous. She heard…

"Alicia."
