In a dinsion where there was nothing except for a man sitting before a giant chessboard, a huge white chessboard, the man was not playing; he was rely watching the chess pieces, the board was divided by white and black with the black having the most chess pieces, in fact, the black seed to be slowly devouring the white and its chess pieces, the man dressed in all white was just watching.
Suddenly, soone appeared behind the man in white; he was not surprised he rely asked, his eyes still focusing on the huge chessboard.
''How did the eting with the gods go?"
''Not bad, I told them to descend into the higher worlds to help them.'' The man that had just arrived sat beside the man in white and explained.
''Huh! I see; let's hope this stop the invasion a little until-"
The newcor did not let the other finish before saying.
''Until your little chess piece, your King arrives there.''
The man in white chuckled but said nothing. The other man was frustrated, and he couldn't help but ask.
''Why gave him the Eternal Chain, is not yet the ti. What if he gets swallowed instead?" The man complained, but he was more afraid of Alex discovering that ability, the actual use of the Eternal Chain. It can devour anything, for example, those black chains locking Nyx, forcing her to stay passive.
This man was the sa man that Nyx fought briefly inside the dungeon, who restored the black chains sealing Nyx.
''Don't worry, he will not get swallowed, but if he fails, I will begin again until the good one co.'' the man in white explained, he truly believed that Alex would succeed.
''I see, too bad to disappoint you, like the previous ones he would fail, look at how outstanding they were and yet they all failed.'' the man in black was not convinced.
''Sigh! You never let do you.'' the man in white sighed before adding.
''Spring makes way for autumn. Ripe fruits will fall one day while new sprouts will grow on withered branches. Ignoring the beautiful view and simply imrsing oneself in past dreams is acceptable. But it is a behavior of foolish arrogance if one harms the delicate, fragile sprout due to the imaginary dreams.''
''You getting old, letting your emotions control you, it would have been a good thing if it helps us in this calamity, but all you do is bark. I'm tired.'' the man in white disappeared right after saying those words leaving the Man in black alone; he sighed in turn, mumbling.
''You are no fun at all.''
He left.

Alex, who had parted ways with Maria after wishing her a good night, arrived before his room, the door was black as ink itself, taking a deep breath he pushed the door open and walked in, darkness swallowed him, there was no light in this room, it was entirely shrouded in darkness, but even so, he had no trouble walking until he stopped before a black chair, it was bigger than the other chairs surrounding a round table, there were six chairs in total.
Taking a seat, he waited patiently for her to arrive.
Not even two minutes passed, and she had arrived; she wore all black, her brown eyes shone amidst the darkness like a gem.
''Welco, Sera. Take a seat.'' Alex said, pointing at the seat on his right; Sera nodded and did sitting.
''What do you want to know?" She asked directly, not beating around the bush.
Alex nodded, pleased with the way she talked.
''I want you to give the na of the officials the church inside and outside Avalon." It was his first demand.
''Okay, I can get you that it's not a big deal, but can I know what you want to do with these nas?" Sera asked imdiately after accepting.
Alex chuckled and said indifferently, ''I will kill them.''
For a mont, Sera, even with her experience, could not react imdiately; one minute passed before she opened her mouth and asked.
''You must be joking, right?" Her voice was a little bit high, but to her surprise, Alex smiled; his eyes were dead serious, aning he was serious, he would do what he said, he would kill them all.
Although he understood how he felt having his girl kidnapped, it doesn't an he could go on his way and kill every official of the Holy Crux empire stationed outside just to vent so of his frustrations; he would not be different from a psychopath if he did that, those officials were innocent, they probably know nothing about the Pope inner plan, so killing them would not be different than killing innocent, killing the wrong people.
Alex, she knew, was not cold-blooded, so naturally, there must be sothing; there had to be.
She looked at Alex once more felt chill because his eyes were still the sa as when he uttered those words.
'This man must have lost it!' She thought, losing Luna must have made her man crazy; well, losing was not right; she was still alive. Still, she must stop this madness before it got out of hand; just as she was about to say sothing, she was forced to stop because Alex burst into laughter.
''Hahahaha!"
''Hahahaha! My stomach hurts; you should see your current face; it is priceless so that you can make that kind of face. It's too funny, hahaha!" Alex laughed hard; Sera was dumbfounded at first before her face turned red; she felt like punching Alex's smiling face; he played her well, making her believe in his words.
''Hahaha! My bad, I must make you believe that I have no choice. If I can fool my allies, how can I fool the rest of the world?" Alex asked with a smile.
Finally, Sera understood that Alex wanted to use the world kill to confuse the enemy (the Holy Crux empire), making them reckless. She couldn't help but chuckle; she didn't ask how Alex planned to fake those officials' death, but one thing was sure, the Holy Crux empire had chosen the wrong opponent to anger.
Sera could not help but reveal a sweet smile; she was curious about Alex's plans because no matter what, it would be mind-blowing.
''What's next?" She asked.
