tremendous speed boost, he no longer needed [Alphox] to travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, flying on the back of a primordial dragon sounded like an incredible experience, but he didn't have the luxury of wasting time anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every second mattered, and he couldn't afford to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, with nothing but open sky around him, flying alone did give him plenty of time to think, and to talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, are we gonna talk about the fact that Astolf still hasn't spoken once?\" Alphox's voice echoed from within Alex's [Shadow Pet Space].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had already been well over a week since the Abyss incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By all logic, Astolf should have revived by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he was cultivating again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or maybe the fact that you absorbed the [Annihilation Crucifix] into your body with the [Crown of Calamity] killed him,\" Alphox said, laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex kept flying, but his forehead immediately broke into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That… was a real possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the very start, he knew the [Annihilation Crucifix] was one of the few things capable of completely eradicating beings like the [Undead King] or the [Undead Lord].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Astolf had been inside his body at the time of absorption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it possible that taking the crucifix into himself had also erased Astolf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next few minutes, Alex and Alphox discussed the implications, but no matter how they looked at it, there was no clear answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's possible,\" Alex admitted, his voice steady despite the unease creeping into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect that to happen, though… and right as we were heading to [Undead Land] too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing an ally, even one as powerful and unpredictable as the [Undead King], still left a bitter taste in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he needed to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in the [Chosen Games], there was a real chance he could lose even more people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alphox included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And maybe…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No.' Alex shook his head, pushing the thought away, 'No need to think about it.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dwelling on it wouldn't change anything, he had a mission to complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that resolve, he continued his journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that time, Alex barely took breaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only ate when necessary, and even then, his appetite was minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body, now nearly on par with a god, hardly needed rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then three more days passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the final day arrived, Alex was soaring through the air when his [World Map] flickered to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden eyes locked onto the blinking marker ahead, his destination was close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Hatred Sect Hideout].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The confrontation would happen soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what's the plan once we're inside?\" Alphox asked, his voice casual, yet carrying a sharp edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill them all, duh?\" Alex shrugged mid-flight, \"Maybe blow the place up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't worth overthinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stronger than all of them, he knew it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he stayed careful, nothing could stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the [Heart of Calamity], the [Hatred Sect] shouldn't be able to summon the [Hatred Demon] anyway, which meant dealing with them now was the safest option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, he had to admit… he wasn't entirely sure if there was another method to summon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But better safe than sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Hatred Demon] was just one being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its influence? Its power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without a god descending as he planned to kill each of them in the [Chosen Games], its presence alone could lead to catastrophe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be bad if even when the [Chosen Games] ended, entities like Lich and the Hatred Demon remained alive to cause chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And though he believed he could kill them eventuall\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful,\" Alphox warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few more hours passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then finally, he reached the exact coordinates where the [Hatred Sect Hideout] was supposed to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, there was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hovered in the air, scanning the landscape below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The location was deep in an uncharted part of the world, so remote that even monsters didn't roam here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Universal Descent was an enormous world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his absurd speed, it had taken him nearly a month to reach this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, this was perhaps the most desolate area he had ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a trace of movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ancient presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A power so dense that even he, someone who had faced mythical beings and calamities, felt wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy in the air was heavy, almost suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he couldn't back down now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hesitated here, he wouldn't even be worthy of standing in the [Chosen Games].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex landed with a powerful thud, dust kicking up around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp gaze swept across the area as he began his search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For hours, he looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried attacking the ground, blasting away layers of earth with raw force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scoured the area, searching for any hidden entrances, inspecting every rock, every tree, every possible mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant one of two things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either he needed a special item to enter, like the [Token of the Mage] for the [Mage Tower], or…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew he was here and were hiding from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both possibilities were bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the timer in the corner of his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Time before Chosen Games:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[26 Days, 15 Hours, 29 Minutes…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than a month remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every hour counted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he still wasn't at full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already reached 90% of Kaelios' power, but that wasn't enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed 100%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to survive, if he wanted to win, he had to push himself further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the minutes ticked by, Alex felt the weight of it all pressing down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a poison wrapping around his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was one of the strongest beings in this world now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, the fear of the unknown didn't spare him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop dozing off, partner,\" Alphox's voice cut through his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to kill those bastards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex blinked, snapping back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still didn't know where the entrance was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had come this far, and at the very least, this location was now registered on his [World Map].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't going to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, just as he took another step forward…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Heart of Calamity has reacted to your demands.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It senses its previous host nearby, and it will assist its new host, as it much prefers him.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWISH!
