Just like always, Alex, Alice, and Aurelia appeared in the [Fox Tribe Village], landing safely after narrowly escaping from the deadly grasp of Lord X.
Their six [Fate Gift Boxes] shimmered faintly as they held them.
It had been a close call.
Had they delayed even a second longer, the outcome would have been fatal, not just an in-game death, but a permanent one.
Alex had no doubt that if Lord X had caught them, their journey would have ended in complete annihilation.
For now, though, they were safe.
Alex knew that none of the [Guardians of Hatred] could track him except for Lord X, whose detection range didn't extend into the safety of the [Fox Tribe Village].
Still, the brush with death left Alex deep in thought.
"I need to grow strong enough to handle level 1,500 entities quickly," he muttered to himself.
If he could ascend to the 10th tier, he'd gain the strength to eliminate most of the gods that had descended upon the world.
