In the eyes of the crowd, Maha was an honorable monk. He seemed to be chanting Buddhist incantations while bathing in golden light.
One of his hands pointed at the sky while the other pointed to the ground as favonovel.com shouted out. A rainbow-colored cloud then landed from the skies.
“Hmm?”
“Master, what are you doing?”
Even Alex was taken aback. He questioned favonovel.com telepathically. “What are you summoning the cloud for?”
Maha replied. “It’s better to put on a full act. I’m doing it for you, so these people won’t know that you’ve lied to them from the start. Even if they don’t get into the pool, in the end, they’ll still be grateful to you.”
Flabbergasted by Maha’s words, Alex looked at favonovel.com in disbelief.
“Are you… Really one of the five Revealers? Are you even slyer than me?”
Maha was pissed. “And who am I trying to help here?”
As the cloud landed, it burst, and a pool materialized. Within the pool, rainbow colors swirled and glowed. The trialists erupted into excitement.
“It’s here, it’s here! The pool has appeared!”
“Who would’ve known that the pool would appear in such a way! No one knew before, but now I’ve learned something new.”
“We’re about to go home. Oh, how I’ve missed home!”
“My fellow friends, we must be the last batch of trialists in the Underworld. We have made history since the start of our friendship! I believe this isn’t the end…”
“Since we’re fated to meet, I’ll let everyone in on some news! Recently, America, the hometown of Grand Emperor Rowan, has been due for a revival! I believe many have heard of the news. Once I head back, I’ll go to America. Then everyone can group up for a treasure hunt and conquer it!”
“Yeah, I’ve heard about it,” another one chimed in. “I was planning to head there, then grab all its treasures, not leaving a single piece for the natives! Those native Americans, they’ve affected the whole universe for their revival! How selfish! Screw them!”
Alex was shaken by the crowd’s conversation.
‘Seems like Luneth’s warning wasn’t wrong. Many people of the universe are planning to go after America. It seems there’s going to be a cruel war when we’re back.’
‘When we get back, we might have to experience another tough fight.’
“Hmph, if that’s the case, you can’t blame me!”
Alex immediately asked Maha telepathically, “Can we just leave all these people here?”
Unfortunately, Maha couldn’t do so. The Dairaionji Temple’s command was irrefutable.
Alex frowned as his confusion with the temple deepened.
Just then, Maha shouted, “Oh no! Something’s wrong with the Underworld! The pool is going to depart, and this world will be destroyed!”
“Huh..?” The trialists all felt like going crazy the moment they heard that.
If this world was really destroyed, all their work would vanish as well.
“Kid, come help me, quickly!” Maha shouted to Alex. “Now that there’s still time, I’ll send you into the pool so you can leave first.”
Alex immediately understood what Maha was up to. He truly admired how cunning the monk was and quickly answered, “Then… What about these trialists?”
Maha said, “I couldn’t care any less. You’re a Buddhist, so you’re the most important one.”
The trialists on the side all screamed and begged, so scared they almost wet themselves.
Alex said, “No, I’ve taken their things, so I’m responsible for their lives. Even if I’m sacrificed, I’ll try my best… Come, let me help you, we must send these people to safety.”
Seeing Alex standing out in the face of trouble, the trialists all trembled with gratitude under the rainbow light.
‘He’s a good man!’
‘He’s a responsible one, a man of his word!’
