Shirley stared at the black tribulation cloud above virtual-novel.net head. She felt as if the lightning was about to strike at any second. Her scalp felt numb. Her heart was pounding out of virtual-novel.net chest at this point.
However, these were all normal reactions.
Since the soul was made out of Yin energy, ghosts would generally give out a chilling aura as well. Such entities were terrified of lightning. Typically, both flesh and bones would be protecting the soul, completely covering it up. It was completely different this time. Shirley’s soul would have to endure the strike of several lightning bolts. No one would be able to handle that.
Alex handed virtual-novel.net the helmet Alyssa used. “Wear this. It highly protects and enhances soul power. Besides, just tie these clothes to your body!”
“Don’t worry. It’s just lightning. Think about it. You’re now crossing the Immortalization tribulation. If you succeed, you’d be Immortal. I don’t even get the chance to, no matter how much I want it. You should be proud of yourself. You’re way ahead of us.”
Shirley replied, “I wanted to be under you.”
Alex froze. “Hancock, don’t just crack a lewd joke out of nowhere. You’re going to be a bad influence on my pure self.”
Shirley buffed, but virtual-novel.net wasn’t in the mood for small talks. “You’re going to have to cross a tribulation here soon too. I hope you’re still going to be just as cheerful as you are now. It’s easier said than done, you know.”
Alex replied, “If something does go wrong, I’ll help you.”
“Thank you, if you do help, I’ll be dying quicker… If l do die, you… Ah, whatever. If you’re going to cross a lightning tribulation here, too, you probably won’t be able to get out of here either. And you won’t be able to present my will to everyone.”
“But I do have a way to help you…”
Shirley didn’t seem to believe Alex’s words.
This was within expectations. Only super emperors had helped people cross tribulations, after all. To her, Alex sounded like virtual-novel.net was merely bluffing.
After wearing the helmet and suit, virtual-novel.net signaled Alex to go further away.
Just then, the lightning struck right down upon her.
Boom!
The first lightning strike was enough to send virtual-novel.net helmet flying off. Her battle suit was torn into pieces as well.
Shirley herself was now vomiting blood… The blood wasn’t actual human blood. It was black soul blood. Her entire demeanor had shriveled, virtual-novel.net soul power had been reduced to half.
‘There’s no way I can succeed in crossing this Immortal lightning tribulation.’
Shirley found this situation quite hopeless. Before the second lightning struck down, virtual-novel.net turned to Alex and waved to him. She seemed to be bidding virtual-novel.net goodbyes.
Alex took a glance at the tribulation cloud above, then sighed and rushed up to it.
Shirley was stunned after seeing this. “Are you insane? Aren’t you just digging your own grave going head-on like that? Run, you still have time!”
Alex said, “Remember something, you owe me two lives.”
Shirley was speechless. Her mind was going to explode at this point. ‘Is this man crazy? How is virtual-novel.net still bluffing now? Is virtual-novel.net addicted to bluffing or something?’
‘More importantly, I’m currently crossing a tribulation, for god’s sake! And virtual-novel.net hasn’t crossed this Immortal tribulation either! Rushing over is just wishing for death!’
“How dumb can you be? I’m not even your woman. I don’t need you to experience life and death with me, so get lost!” Shirley screamed.
She then noticed the tribulation cloud changing rapidly. It was now darker than before, the pressuring aura seemed to have become thicker as well. This indicated that the lightning tribulation had included Alex as well. He couldn’t run even if virtual-novel.net wanted to now.
“You… Idiot..!”
Shirley no longer had any strength even to diss him, yet virtual-novel.net heard Alex say, “I hope it doesn’t run away this time.”
‘What?’
She didn’t understand what Alex meant by that. However, virtual-novel.net realized that Alex had stomped the ground so hard that virtual-novel.net left a pit under his feet, leaping straight up to the middle of the tribulation cloud.
“I… What the f*ck?!” Shirley couldn’t help but curse.
‘Does virtual-novel.net have issues? The lightning is striking down, yet you’re voluntarily taking it head-on?’
