"Doesn't this mean they can simply create an army of anything?" Alex asked.
"Yes. If they consume a God Rank Expert, I am afraid that this guy will be very powerful." Silvia nodded with a serious expression."Considering we haven't heard any news about them, there are only two possibilities."
"They are either powerful enough to keep this a secret or just start doing this recently." Alex understood her meaning. He thought for a moment."I think it's the latter. If they are that powerful to keep their tracks a secret, it doesn't reflect how the weaker ones behave. With how they are consuming those people mercilessly, it's easier to get caught."
"You have a point. I guess this is only happening recently because not many people know about it yet." She nodded."What are you going to do then?"
"I will arrange an investigation team to this world and the upper world connected to it."
"I will also inform my mother about this to help you. Maybe we can have an information exchange."
"We will see." Alex nodded. Because of the previous misunderstanding, Eulja had yet to recover the relationship with the Palm God, so he knew where her hesitation came from.
"Anyway, it's time to leave this place." She pointed at the front, signaling him that her student just finished the tribulation.
"We will wait until he finishes consolidating his cultivation." Alex nodded."I wonder what kind of change these bats will bring to the world. I hope it won't be too big."
"Haha, it's nice to see the universe peaceful. But because of the conflict, the people begin to increase their strength desperately. Such an ironic concept..." Silvia closed her eyes.
"Indeed." Alex waited for one more hour until Axis was in front of them.
"I have become a Martial Master."
"Good." Alex patted his head while smiling.
Suddenly, he felt Alex's energy inside him as his Martial Master's strength left his body.
"I am sorry, but the world we are about to visit can only accept Foundation Rank."
Axis looked at his teacher and found that her cultivation was also Foundation Rank. He nodded and didn't comment on what he did.
Meanwhile, Alex released his God Rank strength and brought them to another world according to Silvia's instruction.
They arrived at a very familiar blue planet.
Alex couldn't help but have a nostalgic feeling in his heart.
"Alex?" Silvia tilted her head in confusion.
"It feels nostalgic to see a planet like this." Alex smiled."This is the closest one I can find that is similar to my hometown."
Silvia's interest was piqued when she heard Alex's hometown. Although she knew that Alex didn't come from Eulja or Agar World, she didn't know anything about Alex's hometown.
"Never mind. It's something in the past. I don't have a desire to return there at the moment. Besides, with how old I am...My parents should have passed away or too old to do anything. In other words, I will probably only have my sister as a family. Either way, it's not really a pleasant memory." Alex shook his head.
Axis could see that Alex was missing his hometown and family, but he told the truth about it being not a pleasant memory. It seemed that even if there were bad blood, the family would always be family for this guy.
"So, let's come in?" Alex shrugged and summoned his Array.
After Silvia and Axis nodded their head, Alex brought them inside the planet.
"Where is this?" Silvia looked around after arriving here. Not a single person could be found here, so they didn't need to worry about anyone finding their existence.
When he saw the cool looking environment and the tall building outside the area, he simply understood what kind of clothes they needed to wear.
It was the same as him. Alex wore a simple white shirt with black pants. It was nothing special, but he could be blended in.
However, Silvia's clothes, although universal, couldn't really fit in with this type of environment.
"Silvia, do you have another type of clothes with you?" Alex asked.
"Clothes are a must when traveling, so I have a special storage ring just for that. It can help me if I want to blend in." Silvia nodded.
"How about Axis?"
"Now that I think about it, I haven't bought anything for Axis. Maybe I should go somewhere to buy clothes..." Silvia looked at Axis. His clothes were decent, but it certainly looked like a country bumpkin.
Alex thought for a moment and opened his Inventory. After searching for five minutes, he finally found it.
"Take this." Alex waved his hand as a pair of clothes appeared on his hand. He handed the clothes to Axis."It is a bit bigger, but it should be fine for a while. That's my clothes when I was young. After this, we can go to a shopping center to buy the clothes."
"How about money?" Silvia asked.
"Let's trade something first. Maybe gold or something. It's not like they are important to us, no?"
"I don't have gold."
"I have. Don't worry." Alex waved his hand. He had many gold coins from the Agar world as a memory of the life he had with Alicia's and Firia's families along with his teacher.
Even if he couldn't prove the gold identity, it should be enough for him to get enough money for clothing. After that, they could start planning to do whatever they wanted.
"In that case, I will bring Axis to change."
Alex nodded and pointed at the public restroom."You can change there. They have a symbol in front of them, differentiating woman and man. Woman restroom is the one with a skirt."
Silvia's vision followed Alex's movement and found the restroom."Alright. I can do that. Axis, can you do that alone?"
"It's just like the restroom we have back on the hut, right? The one we never used before?" Axis asked innocently.
"Yes. However, you need to close the door first before changing."
"Exactly. That's the norm here." Alex nodded in agreement."Or should I accompany you?"
"I think I will be fine. Even if I can't do it, I will go back here and ask for Mister's help." Axis politely declined, wanting to be independent.
"Is that so?" Alex smiled and let him go.
Axis widened his eyes and quickly went to the restroom.
"Before I change, I want to ask one thing. Do you have a plan for this world?"
Alex shook his head."I don't know. Probably travels around the world? It's not like I am going to steal someone's possession."
"True enough. Our main priority is the resources that no one possesses."
"It's hard though, so we will end up stealing." Alex shrugged."I mean, this place should have a country and everything inside it is the country's possession despite them having no desire to take it."
"Oh? Someone's trash is another man's treasure. Since they don't want it, why can't we get them? Even those who follow the teaching of "Good" will grab it if the timing is perfect."
"That's why we will end up taking it." Alex shrugged.
"In that case, I don't have anything to say." Silvia nodded."And do you have an idea for how long we are going to stay in this world?"
"Let me see... I have trained for more than three years, so it's time to fulfill another promise. However, I still have you, so we can stay here for one year or so."
"I have another idea. How about I follow you?" Silvia asked.
"Ahem, my promise is to get my disciple and wives back before going to our honeymoon."
"Then, am I a bother? I don't really mind being the third party, since this way I can learn more about them." Silvia shook her head.
Alex paused for a second and let out a long sigh."You are strong."
"No, I am weak, but I know that if I stay weak, I can't achieve anything."
"Fine, fine. You win. You can follow me. In that case, we will stay here for a month or so. It should be enough to discover many resources." Alex shrugged."The problem is...I wonder whether this world has a Divine Item or not. I don't mind getting a Divine Herb as well."
"Didn't you see it from Outer Space?"
"No. I could see the portal because it caused huge disruption while a Divine Herb will become weaker when staying here until they die, so I need to get closer to them to find the Divine Energy."
"That's a shame. In that case, you can fly all over the world. I am going to bring Axis to find the knowledge of this world, especially the medicinal equipment and treatment. That's my real aim."
"I can help you, but we will see. We first need money since I can't trade too much gold here unless we find a bad guy to smuggle them." Alex furrowed his eyebrows, contemplating their plan.
"We can discuss it again after getting Axis's clothes. I should be getting changed soon." Silvia waved her hand and headed straight to the restroom."Wait for me, okay?"
Alex waved his hand while nodding.
"Wait a minute..." Alex suddenly remembered something. He looked around. There were trees every now and then, planted on a small slot on the ground. The ground he stepped on was built with bricks. If he took another look at his surroundings, everything was perfect to call this a park.
On his left, he found a quite big tree, perfect for leaning on it to feel the breeze, but that also convinced him about his current predicament.
"Ugh... Don't tell me." Alex facepalmed."I need to scan this area and leave as quickly as poss—"
"Wait, Young Man." An aged voice resounded in his ears.
'Ah, I was too late. ' Alex sighed and turned around, finding three people.
The first one was an old man in his retirement, wearing a clean white martial uniform. There was a certain trace of energy in this old man's body aside from his own. He even used a staff to support him.
Next to him was a green-haired woman wearing the same uniform, following everywhere he walked. She appeared to be young, not even in her twenties, so Alex concluded that this girl was his granddaughter.
Last but not least was a middle-aged man next to them. He had a muscular body, signifying his own strength.
'Ah yes, I really was too late. ' Alex sighed in defeat.
"May I know your name?" The old man politely asked.
However, Alex had no intention to get close to them, so it was better to leave right away. After all, they might be wealthy that could satisfy his current plan, but everything would become annoying after that. He could already see trouble coming from the arrogant face that the woman showed on her face.
"Redna, " Alex said before walking to the restroom.
And as he predicted, the woman quickly berated him when he paid no attention."Hey, you. How dare you ignore my grandpa?"
