My Wives Are Too Overpowered

Chapter 140 Lower And Higher Realms

Hotel, Miami.

Jackie and Ellyn were relaxing in their suite while watching tv.

It had been like that since Alex left.

However, at this instance, Ellyn suddenly got up from the bed and said with a worried face, "Husband is in danger."

Jackie got up as well and nodded. She held Ellyn's shoulder and immediately vanished from the hotel room.

…..

The hidden vault.

"Huff… Huff…"

Alex was in tatters, his appearance totally messed up. He was pinned to the wall by the bald man and was going through his last few breaths.

He tried to put up a fight against the man, but it was futile as this guy was leagues above him.

It was not Alex wasn't careful with his approach in this regression, it was that he was going on all out with everything. There should not be any instance where he would regret anything.

And… as far as he knew… even though it looked like this was the end… it wasn't.

The bald man in uniform had never seen a person this determined when at death's door. Alex had caused a few cuts to appear on the man's body, and this was an astonishing feat in itself.

Though, it was a pity that this guy was bent on kill or be killed attitude. Even if the man wanted to, he couldn't recruit Alex into his own force.

Alex was a variable he had to eliminate. He had the potential to be a threat to the plans of his higher ups and this was not acceptable.

"It's a pity to lose a guy like you," said the bald man and gripped Alex's neck with more strength.

Veins popped all over Alex's neck and head as he was being suffocated. His face turned red and seemed like it would explode at any moment.

Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations occurred in the vault and out of thin air appeared two beautiful ladies.

Jackie, after appearing, immediately kicked the bald man to oblivion, showing no mercy and making all the bones in his body crack.

The guy died without even knowing how.

Ellyn rushed to Alex's rescue and immediately began healing him.

Alex took rapid breaths as the suffocating grip was gone and tried to correct his breathing.

"Are you alright, darling?" Ellyn asked while rubbing Alex's back.

Alex nodded while still breathing rapidly, trying his best not to concern his wife.

Jackie rushed to him and asked the same thing and Alex replied in a similar fashion to her.

Once he was fully healed, Alex got up and taking a deep breath, asked, "Is that guy dead?"

Jackie nodded. "I may have gone a bit overboard."

Alex smiled softly and patted Jackie's head. "It's alright."

He then went to search the dead guy's body and found some connections with an organization called Inzel.

He was a squad leader in this organization and now with his death, Alex may have made more enemies.

It was not a problem.

Inzel was anyway a small fry of an organization. They were the lackeys of the Cursed Church and their motive was to eliminate any potential variables that may threaten the goals of the Cursed Church.

Alex was on the right track with this guy coming to kill him. He took the badge of this person and then searched the vault for more information.

He was in luck in this place as he found what he was looking for. There was an old box with half part of a key in it.

The other half of this key should be with Volkov and this was probably the key to opening the Gates of Valhalla and summoning the Demons to this world.

The reason the Cursed Church placed such a thing with these kids was to not appear suspicious.

This bunch of teenagers just knew of drugs and alcohol. They were the least suspicious people in the whole world as they weren't much religious and held no power whatsoever.

Alex placed the key in his system's inventory and with Jackie's help, left this place and teleported straight back to the hotel room.

While in the hotel room, Alex excused himself from his two wives and went to take a shower.

In the shower, as the warm water hit him, Alex ran his hair back and gently massaged his head while thinking,

'If I start now, it'll take me more than a decade to power up with Gene Cultivation. It's slow and not as fast as deriving powers from a higher entity. But, this has room for growth, which is not available with others.'

In his second regression turn, Alex had ascended to quite a high degree. There, he had learnt a few things.

The first and foremost being that if one wasn't walking on the Gene Path, then becoming stronger on their own was nigh impossible.

At the mortal level, one had to worship an entity higher than them and derive powers from him. This entity could either be an immortal or a God.

There were no Gods in the current realm Alex was in as this was the lowest possible realm in the cosmos.

In total, the cosmos was roughly divided into two planes—Lower and Higher.

The Lower Cosmic Plane, or Lower Realm, was where the majority of mortals lived.

Immortals were the highest level beings in this realm and Gods could only be seen in the Higher Cosmic Plane.

The difference between these two planes was humongous and not something a mortal could even think of,

Alex himself couldn't adapt properly in the Higher Realm when he reached that place and died in just two decades.

That place was far more formidable and cutthroat as most of the pantheons were there.

Surviving was really difficult in that place and the Lower Realm was a safe haven, if one were to say.

Living a short yet peaceful life was the best, but sadly, Alex had greater ambitions and was not going to be entranced by this peacefulness of mortal life.

This Cursed Church, the Guardians, Demons… all of this didn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things.

These people were made to fight by the Gods in the Higher Realm just for the sake of choosing one camp and not relying on their own intelligence.

The more faith these small fries put up, the stronger it was, and the more in numbers they were, the mightier the God in the Higher Realm would turn out to be.

Though, a few hundred years ago, such was not the case.

Alex had learnt in the Higher Realm that the strongest Gods in that place were the worshippers of an even higher entity. They derived their power from them, but mysteriously, those Gods seemed to have disappeared and they were left with nothing.

These people thus had to have a lot of believers to power up and they were also in a race to achieve something.

What was that something, Alex didn't know as he was killed.

Whatever the case be, the apocalypse and everything that would soon arise was due to the Gods who wanted more worshippers.

If there weren't famines, if there weren't wars, and if there weren't tough times, then no one would seek God. Such was their belief and they would soon put the whole of Lower Realm in turmoil for it.

The Cursed Church was just a small tool for those guys to brew up chaos on Earth by summoning Demons.

Thus, this proved the fact that one couldn't become a God on their own.

The first step to do so was to worship a higher entity, then it was to slowly gather worshippers. But, doing this would make the entity one was worshipping stronger as they were connected to them.

The Blessed guy thus had to be smarter and channel the faith towards himself rather than the God above him.

By this, he may slowly become an immortal and then slowly a God.

It was too slow of a process and too stupid and difficult too.

Another method was to be noticed by some strong pantheon. Those guys would bless the person, then make him ascend and reach the Higher Realm, eventually taking him in their pantheon to make it even stronger.

All this method was bullshit and not something Alex liked.

Gene Path was the best of the best, because all one had to do in this was…

Kill.

That's right. One simply had to kill an entity higher than them, absorb their essence, then grow.

Alex had realized it really late in his life as he was super busy hunting monsters in dungeons and leveling up by swallowing their cores.

Those methods did work, but killing an entity was the easiest and by far the best method possible.

There were a few restrictions to it though and potential problems as well.

It was because the essence of a person wasn't pure and that was the biggest hurdle.

Why it wasn't pure was because…
