In two days, everyone here—including you guys—will forget all about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bigger shock hit Alden and Ethan. Their expressions froze completely, eyes wide, mouths slightly agape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex started laughing. \"You guys should see your faces right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Alex laughed, Ethan said in a loud voice, \"You must be joking, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden nodded vigorously. \"He must be. How can that be possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex shook his head. \"I wish I was, but that’s the thing. I’m not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, when I turned back time on such a massive scale... it has repercussions that I didn’t think about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now I’m in this mess. The will of the universe—or something—doesn’t take lightly to those who mess with the natural course of events.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So now here we are. Now I’m gonna pay the price for breaking the natural laws.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden and Ethan looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden asked urgently, \"There must be a way to get out of it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden and Ethan’s expressions became sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex playfully said, \"Are you guys gonna cry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both snapped at the same time, \"Who’s gonna cry?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden admitted quietly, \"I can’t believe I’m saying this... but it’s a horrible feeling knowing I won’t even remember you after some time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan nodded. \"Same... You have become a very important part of our lives. One we just can’t do without now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Alex laughed. \"Well, as great as I am... it was bound to happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Ethan and Alden’s mouths twitched hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax,\" Alex said. \"I have a solution, so don’t worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained, \"That’s why I’m going to the tower. That is the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to gain true divinity and become at least a low‑rank god... so this mess clears up. Gods are not bound to restrictions like this, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden exhaled. \"So that’s the reason, huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Alex confirmed. \"And there is something else too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden leaned forward. \"And what’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Charlotte.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Alex said that, both Ethan and Alden’s expressions became grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte’s situation had become quite messy, with her other personality emerging and her running off to the tower. No one knew where she was or what she was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden admitted, \"To be honest, I’m quite worried about her too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the circumstances she left... it didn’t look like she had any intention of coming back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just hope she is alright and not in any sort of trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan agreed. \"Yeah. I have also made up my mind—after eradicating the remnants of the cult... I’m also gonna head to the Tower of Ascension.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex held up a hand. \"Not so fast. The remnants of the cult are not the only thing you’ll have to deal with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am certain that the Holy Empire is cooking something up too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Aurelias dude is in charge of it and he is fishy as hell... also the pope is nowhere to be seen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now it’s your job too. Deal with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex smiled. \"So prepare yourself. It’s gonna be a hell of a workload before you can be free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan yelled, \"Oh seriously, c’mon! Man, how much of the work are you gonna dump on me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan groaned. \"Well, up until now you were here, so they were too scared to make any moves in the open.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But after everyone forgets about you, they are gonna run wild... for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I will have to deal with them, huh. Such a drag. That’s why I don’t like this hero job at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden nodded. \"Ethan is right. Up until now, everything was at bay. Everyone in the entire world was too scared to make any open moves, knowing Alex was here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as soon as he leaves, things are gonna be different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan clutched his head. \"Now you’re giving me an even bigger headache.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex and Alden laughed harder at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Alex stood up. \"Alright, it’s time to head back now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sure everyone wants to return home as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden and Ethan also stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all quietly followed Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they reached the palace entrance, the Elven King Thalion and Queen Aeliana were standing right there outside, talking with Alyssa about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalion spotted Alex first. \"Speak of the devil and he is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex grinned. \"Who are you calling a devil? I’m an angel itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly grabbed Queen Aeliana’s hand. \"Aren’t I right, Aeliana?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aeliana blushed. \"Oh my, you really are a playboy, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalion’s eyebrow twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden, Ethan, and Alyssa sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Elaria’s voice rang out. \"You scumbag! Get away from my mother! Didn’t I already warn you not to get close to her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex looked toward Aeliana innocently. \"But she doesn’t mind, do you, Aeliana?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aeliana stammered, unable to meet his gaze. \"Well... I... I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalion pulled Aeliana toward him protectively. \"Will you stop hitting on my wife for once? And Dear, why are you blushing?\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aeliana looked away. \"Nothing... and let it go. He’s just being playful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elaria yelled, \"I highly doubt that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex clicked his tongue. \"Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He murmured in a low voice, \"The father and daughter both are annoying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aeliana burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalion turned to Alyssa. \"Please teach your son some manners so he doesn’t try to steal other people’s wives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Alyssa grabbed Alex’s ear and pulled hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex winced, apologizing repeatedly. \"Ow, ow! I’m sorry, I’m sorry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alden cheered. \"Serves you right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan laughed. \"Pull harder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa scolded, \"At least don’t embarrass me in front of royalty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, ma’am,\" Alex gasped. \"Duly noted. Please forgive me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa released him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex rubbed his ear repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalion cleared his throat. \"So what now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa thanked him graciously. \"Thank you for your hospitality. We are going to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalion and Aeliana smiled. \"Don’t worry. It was our pleasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After what Alex has done for us... it was nothing in comparison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex’s expression turned smug. He looked toward Ethan, Alden, and Elaria. \"See? That’s true greatness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all clicked their tongues in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Alyssa’s voice cut through. \"Alright, that’s enough playing around. It’s time to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have informed everyone. They’ll come here in ten minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nodded. \"Good. It’s time to go back home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1041,"2026-06-06T07:14:57.193Z",1,"novelbin.me","d274b983d8116cb4c0ad33858cd7ba07f74f37511cffe0cb7a7a950a0fd17dd7","the-extra-who-shouldn-t-exist-chapter-377","the-extra-who-shouldn-t-exist-chapter-375",418,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-extra-who-shouldn-t-exist-cover.jpg"]
