The moment the ck chain appeared, everything changed; the sky rumbled, lightning bolts descended, trying to incinerate the chain but failed.


    One of the werewolves tried to snatch the chain but got incinerated instantly.


    The remaining survivors felt chill down their spines; even though they were greedy, they cherished their life more than anything.


    The old temple kept shaking; in another dimension, someone made a tear in the space, and from this tear, this person was able to see what was happening inside the temple.


    The moment this person saw the ck chain, a look of fear shed through his reptilian eyes, but it disappeared soon as it came. He chuckled.


    ''''Kekekeke! Finally, the fated one hase.''''


    ''''Fated my ass, let''s hope he didn''t die before; he is just a chees piece.'''' Another voice echoed beside the man who spoke first, but he chuckled.


    ''''We are all chess pieces, but there''s a difference; he is more valuable than you and me if not, that thing wouldn''t have chosen him.'''' the man exined before focusing in eyes on Alex inside the temple; suddenly, his eyes widened in horror when he sensed a pair of cold eyes locked onto him, it was a kind of primal fear he had never felt, a fear that told him that he could if he made a mistake, he was not the only one, the other man beside him sensed the same thing.


    Naturally, they knew what this meant; whoever this person was, this person didn''t want them to watch Alex any further.


    ''''Haiy! Let''s leave; we are not wee anymore.''''


    The man with reptilian eyes dered before closing the tear in the space he made to spy on Alex.


    ''''Ok, let''s go spare in that realm again; this time, I will win.'''' the other man suggested.


    ''''Sure.'''' The man with reptilian eyes responded before adding.


    ''''Sorry, for your daughter.''''


    ''''Don''t be, I have already disowned her; besides, we are all chess pieces, it doesn''t matter. We all die one day, it''s a matter of whether your death worth, dying for the grand scheme of things can be considered as dying a worthy death.'''' the other man whose features couldn''t be seen responded, even though he was trying to act calm, he couldn''t hide the sadness deep within his voice, no matter what it was his daughter that died.


    ''''I see.'''' Those words were the only thing the man with the reptilian eyes could say; the two stepped across space and disappeared to the same realm Alex first encountered them; they decided to spare to kill their boredom, this time it was for their entrainment, not because someone asked them to do it.


    Meanwhile, Alex had no idea that he was being watched by the two strongest existences he encountered in that unusual realm; he didn''t know that because of Nyx, they stopped spying on him; he was too focused on the ck chain before him to notice any external forces.


    Suddenly Alex took a step forward, shocking everyone present.


    ''''Alex, stop!"


    Hisrades tried to stop him, but he didn''t stop, one step, two steps, three steps, he kept walking toward the ck chain, the girls were sent flying when they tried to get close to him.


    Seeing this situation, Cecilia was secretly overjoyed; she sneaked close to them when a cold voice reached her ear again.


    ''''Where do you think you are going?"


    It was Maria''s voice, Cecilia''s soul almost left her body she didn''t notice Maria appearing behind her, she was not to be med after all Maria was among those that were sent flying earlier; Cecilia had no idea when and how she noticed her sneaking closer to Luna and appeared to stop her.


    Suddenly, Alex spoke to them as he grabbed the ck chain.


    ''''I''m going to test something.''''


    The moment Alex touched the ck chain, it was like he had touched a living thing that squirmed before exploding.


    Boom!


    The single chain turned into countless tiny ck chains that climbed up Alex''s right arm like hundreds of tiny snakes.


    The others turned pale upon seeing this scene, but Alex remained silent.


    The ck chains emitted terrible heat and, at the same time, a chilling sensation capable of freezing one soul; Alex was in immense pain but still showed no emotion on his face.


    Soon the ck chains covered Alex''s arm like a tattoo, then they moved toward his face and soon covered his face; before he got totally covered, Alex spoke to his friends.


    ''''I''ll be back!"


    BOOM!


    A blinding light upied everyone''s sight, and when they recovered their sight, Alex was gone.


    The old temple became silent before fight broke out soon.


    Meanwhile, Alex appeared in a destend; thisnd was extremely ancient, reeking blood; it was as if an apocalyptic war happened here, there were no corpses, no bones, but the scent of blood filled the air.


    Just as Alex was about to open his mouth to ask where he was, he disappeared from the destend, no to be exact, it was as if time got reversed, Alex saw the destend turning into a beautiful city, an ancient city made for gods not mortal, giant creatures were flying in the sky while on the ground giant humans could be seen, suddenly there was a terrible explosion and the city of god became deste devoid of any living beings.


    The scene changed to another one where a group faced thousands of giant monsters covered in ck miasma.


    This group was extremely small; their faces was blurred, but Alex was sure that it was the survivors of the city of god; for an unknown reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with one of them, it was a woman. However, he couldn''t see her face; her feminine body didn''t escape Alex''s eyes; she was dressed in crimson dress, crimson hair, a vast wheel was behind her.


    Suddenly Alex''s body trembled as he recalled a scene from a dungeon; somehow, this woman resembled the woman in the coffin.


    ''''No way!" Alex blurted, unable to contain his surprise.. His surprise didn''t end there; a man was close to the woman in crimson, and around this man''s wrist was a ck chain; Alex''s jaw almost hit the ground when he saw this scene.
