Chapter 368: Thank you

[A few minutes before The Goddess's decision.]

Alex saw countless memories related to his parents and Ivonne. It was as if he experienced them in person, their deaths and sadness gripping his heart.

He couldn't tell how many times those memories went through him. He just kept feeling them with every bone and fiber of his body.

Before Alex noticed, he saw the same images from the third person.

It was as if he became a bystander, yet that was not the case. A faint link connected Alex with memories of his parents and Ivonne.

Even in the third person, he felt the same grief, hatred, and misery.

Yet, Alex stood calm. He didn't fall onto his knees, clutching his heart. He didn't let out tears, maintaining composure.

It seemed as if those memories didn't touch him.

That was not the case, however.

Alex felt overwhelmed by those memories. He saw the misery of his father and his lovers, their parting, and countless deaths that forced Harvey, Lavinia, and Ivonne to become guardians, and start a new life in a different world, just to have at least twenty years of happy family time.

But amidst those memories, Alex understood something.

Those meetings, battles, wars, and deaths weren't meaningless.

The most meaningful deaths belonged to Harvey's lovers. Perhaps Alex would have never been born if it weren't for them.

There was a high chance that Harvey would fight until the very end should everyone from his family survive. If no one died, he surely would cover Yasir's back against the battle against the antagonists.

There was a chance that the battle would continue even now.

If Ivonne survived Blackburn Blade's assault, there was a chance that Lavinia would have gotten pregnant later, resulting in Alex never being born.

Alex felt odd for thinking about it with all memories swirling in his. Maybe it was what he inherited from his parents, for they were also able to give up on their past.

Alex also knew he was selfish, so he didn't blame himself. He wasn't in a position to change the past, too.

Thus, he respectfully paid attention to Harvey, Lavinia, and Ivonne's memories. He prayed silently for the losses and people who had sacrificed lives for them.

At last, Alex parted his lips, and his voice resounded in a unique hall, "Thank you."

He could only thank all those lovers, friends, and families for supporting his father and mother. Ivonne also was a lady who would be with him for life, so Alex thanked everyone from the bottom of his heart.

Because of those fallen people, Harvey became a cool father. Lavinia became a mother who raised Alex with a firm hand and beliefs.

Because of them, Alex was born.

"Thank you…" Alex thanked them again.

He didn't know how many times he would have to thank everyone just to leave this place and return to his parent's side.

He didn't mind, though.

He couldn't be more thankful.

In an outer world, just a minute passed.

Yasir stared at Purgatory's wrap with a smirk and curious eyes. He seemed like a kid waiting for a present to come out from the white crack.

Harvey and Lavinia had secretly healed themselves through their items, yet it was enough to keep their lives safe.

If Yasir wanted, he could've kicked those treasures away to threaten their lives. For some reason, he didn't do anything.

At last, after one more minute, Alex came out from Purgatory in a beam of dark energy, barreling into Yasir.

Yasir was shocked to see such strength, but he managed to lift his sword just in a nick time, "I'm surprised."

He wasn't looking at Alex but at Ivonne, who had wrapped her hands tightly around the young man. He had heard that Ivonne was Alex's demon, yet such news was so unbelievable that Yasir couldn't believe them.

Yet, his thoughts became a reality.

Alex managed to take out Ivonne's former strength, matching his level!

BANG!

Alex's Wrath coiled around his sword, repelling the antagonist's leader. He threw him far away from his parents, then extended his hand for one of his Asura's Hands.

He forcefully separated his whole arm from his body, tossing it toward his parents' location. With one glance, Alex did a new miracle.

[You have used Stella's Ultimate Skill through one of your Asura Arms.]

[The Divine Winged Totem has been created(SSS)]

In an instant, Stella's signature skill erupted, swathing Harvey and Lavinia. Their wounds rapidly healed, for they knelt in Stella's Holy Pillar! But that was naturally not enough, so more healing and supportive skills lined on their bodies.

At that time, Yasir called his army forth. The dark world lit up in rainbow colors, for unique and legendary techniques darted at him and Ivonne.

They were everywhere, be it ceiling, ground, or even below!

Ivonne let Alex's neck go, floating her tempting curves up to the sky. Standing like a deva, her Asura Arms bloomed on her body like flowers, all her hands stretching toward the ceiling, "Sisyphus's Punishment!"

She used the same skill before, yet it was different now, for her strength had never been this great!

Ivonne's skill formed a terrifying and vast red ball, drawing all skills and enemies toward it. She was so strong that all lesser demons flew up, flying toward her as if heeding the queen's order.

Alex didn't waste this chance, for it was not his style to waste good time. He again turned into a beam of wrath, teleporting to Yasir's side.

BANG!

"I like you more and more, Alexander! Not only do you have to tell me how to court girls, but you must also tell me how to steal them from others!" Yasir taunted with a smile, coating his form with his demon's skin.

He unleashed his signature skill, aiming it at Alex.

Alex squinted his eyes, his awareness encompassing the whole dark world, for Ivonne was also keeping an eye on him, ready to act upon any of Yasir's weird moves.

And as his legendary sword lit up in the antagonist's mana, Alex replied like an antagonist himself, looking down on Yasir's charisma and confidence, "First step is to become me.

And that's where you fail, Yasir!" Alex howled, thrusting his sword brimming with Alex's Wrath, Eldritch Touch, and the antagonist's mana!

"Fantastic!" Yasir grinned, his sword exploding with raw power, the same might that forced Harvey and Lavinia onto their knees.

At last…
