852 Alex's True Strength

"I said it earlier. It was just a bonus to him. I am fond of a relationship like that, and in fact, you should try to befriend people like that because they are most unlikely to betray you. Of course, there is a chance they prioritize their family to the point of betraying you, but I don't think the case is that common." Alex nodded. This was what he wanted to say earlier.

"So, I should befriend him after this training?"

"It's up to you. I only said it was his type that valued his family and friend that you should befriend, so whether you want to be his friend or not, it's entirely up to you." Alex shrugged.

"I understand. I shall keep your word in my mind." Mithra nodded with a solemn expression. "By the way, since we have gotten the two items, what are you going to do?"

"Training you and Ian of course. I still have around one and a half months before the promised day, so it's better to step up my game." Alex shrugged.

"I will keep up with you." Mithra pumped her fist.

"Yeah. I will make you Qi Manipulation Stage within the time. After that, it will be our farewell."

Mithra suddenly fell silent, feeling a bit sad. Although it was only a brief moment, the journey felt like it had been going for several years. Because Alex was rushing many things, they had gone to many places and created many memories, so hearing the word goodbye was a bit sad.

"Sir Alex, can I ask you one thing?"

"Sure."

"Does the portal lead to another world?" She tilted her head.

"Yes. I have traveled to many worlds… Let me see, I have visited five worlds, including my home world."

"Then is there any strong person like you?"

"Yeah. There are many, but because I have just gone through another level of cultivation, I haven't seen anyone with the same stage as mine… Well, it is considered as a high ranking person because only a handful of people can have this strength."

"That is so cool. Do you think I can go to another world as well? No, can I follow you?" Mithra asked. Her heart was excited with adventure, but Alex shook his head, turning her down.

"It's impossible. You have no strength to deal with what is coming. If I tell you that you are simply an ant that can be crushed with just a blow of wind, do you believe me?" Alex glanced at her.

"I believe you. Seeing Sir Alex's strength, I believe you can do that. I can still feel the boundless power inside you, and you are still holding back this whole time. One flick is enough for you to blow away my head." Michelle nodded.

It took her an instant to decide this. "I am going. No matter what it takes, I will surely go."

"Then you should reach Martial Master before anything else. If you are not careful in another world, you will end up dying. And I won't be there helping you, so you should pay attention to your own situation." Alex patted her head.

Ian and the dragon king fell silent when they heard about this and had their own thoughts. Alex paid no heed and patted her head, cheering her up.

"What do you want to do after this depends on you. I won't tell you what is bad and what is not." Alex smiled.

Mithra nodded her head. "I will train hard."

"Why don't you prove it to me now?" Alex grinned, teasing her.

However, Mithra didn't say anything and took out her sword, starting to do her daily practice.

'If I may ask, will there be a chance of other portals being opened from another side?'

Hearing the dragon king's question, he shook his head. 'I don't know. This one's a bit special because the devils know about those two items. As for the rest, I haven't met another portal in this world, so I can't examine it. And I don't have any plan in doing that.'

The dragon king could only shake his head in disappointment. Alex's strength was far too extraordinary for him to even think about it. Though, he didn't really want his power, but his cooperation in searching for another portal around the world. Albeit, he seemed to be not qualified to talk to him. It was a pure coincidence from Alex that everyone went away.

With that troublesome thought in mind, they had arrived in the Dragon Valley and went back to the guest house, training Mithra again.

…

Three months had passed since the first time he came to this world, and it was the time he left this world to help Alicia.

He asked the others to get away from the portal because it would be very dangerous. And not a single soldier was near the portal. He had killed all those devils emerging from the portal anyway, so they had no problem in evacuating this area.

On the other hand, the dragon king, Ian, and Mithra were looking at him with a serious expression.

"It's a goodbye, everyone. Thank you for making this trip easier and fun." Alex glanced at Ian. "You have recovered from the so-called illness. In fact, your harmonized element is a powerful combination. As long as you train it, it can be your strongest strength, so just don't use it for bad things, alright?"

"Ga Wu!" Ian nodded repeatedly.

"Mithra… You have reached Qi Manipulation Strength. Since I have also given you a few pills to increase your strength even further, I think I can say you are one of the strongest people in this world. Maybe you want to try to beat the dragon king from time to time." Alex laughed.

The dragon king could only look down as he could really picture it happen.

Mithra looked down and curved her mouth. Tears almost fell out of the sockets of her eyes because of this separation.

"The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning. Since it's ending right now, you should start a new beginning." Alex smiled and patted her head and asked Ian and Dragon King to fly away.

They seemed to go toward those many spectators on the horizon that decided to watch this phenomenon. The king who summoned him was also watching this with great interest. He even bought the prince, the hero, and his companions.

Alex closed his eyes for a second and used his Space Magic to open the gate that sealed all his cultivation. The moment the door was opened, the Divine Energy and Divine Soul immediately enveloped his full body.

It also increased the uneasiness inside his heart, but it was not comparable to the one he had a few months ago, baffling him. But he didn't have time to waste as he only had one chance to destroy this gate because the sky above him turned dark.

"Lightning Tribulation huh…" Alex narrowed his eyebrows. The world was trying to weaken him first before expelling him out, but Alex only coldly said, "Don't mess with me. I only need one strike, and I will leave this world. Besides, don't you feel pity that your world will be destroyed by those Devils?"

*Rumble Rumble!*

As if the world's will didn't hear it, the rumbling sound started echoing around the portal area.

"What is this? The world is mad at that person?" The king exclaimed in confusion.

Liliana put her hands on her chest, hoping for the best for Alex.

Alex looked up and roared. "Are you going to challenge me? Do you want me to destroy this world?"

The Pure Fire gushed out of his body, brightening the area. His Pure Fire burned the wood beneath him and turned them into charcoal. It might not reach the sky, but it stretched more than a few hundred meters.

*Rumble!*

The lightning tribulation seemed to be scared of him, especially after noticing his power. If Alex was a normal Rank 10 God, they might be able to expel him, but he had a Pure Fire in his possession. If he willed it, the world's will might also be extinguished by that flame.

*Rumble!*

The thunder echoed once more, but the sound was gentle as if it submitted to Alex.

"What?!" The dragon king dropped his jaw, never expecting to see this. He never saw Lightning Tribulation, but he knew it came from the world itself. And yet, Alex scared it. This… What kind of concept is this?"

Ian and Mithra also watched this phenomenon without saying anything. Mithra was wondering what kind of existence Alex is, and she planned to unravel it by traveling between worlds. She swore it today.

Meanwhile, Alex kept his eyes peeled to make sure that the Lightning Tribulation didn't mess with this.

"Now that I think about it, I don't have a Divine Sword…" Alex scratched his head.

[You can use one in your Inventory. You have unlocked the Divine Gacha System, so no need to hesitate to use everything in it.]

The system notification was like thunder reverberating one's ear. It sent a shock down to his spine because he would never think it would be free.

He chose one sword that seemed to be able to replace his current sword.

He channeled his Divine Energy into the sword, trying to feel the sword. Then he inserted his Absolute Blade Intent and fused it with his Divine Energy. His Pure Fire and Space Element began to fuse as well, creating extreme torrential energy that could create a huge disaster.

Although he had yet to be able to condense his Absolute Blade Divine Intent, the power of this attack was already far too great. The last step he needed to do was to concentrate on maintaining this.

"Dragon Aura."

"Spirit Step."

The two increased his strength even further as Alex was ready. Unlike the huge Pure Fire that covered his body, the aura surrounding the sword was too small to be even compared with him, but no one knew that the hardest one was not to make a big one, but a smaller one. He needed to compress it again and again to make this small containing a powerful strength.

Alex pulled his sword back, creating a ripple around his sword just by moving. He took a deep breath and finally flew toward the portal.

"Three Purities Slash!"
