Chapter 143 Leveling Up
Chapter 143 Leveling Up
Alex and Scarlett went deep in the Amazon. There were tons and tons of creatures in this place which could send a chill down the spine of a normal human.
From centipedes to venomous snakes, all sorts of creatures that could kill a person were present here.
Scarlett had casted a protective barrier around herself and Alex to keep these things away. They were walking in the Northwest direction and were in search of something.
What that something was, Scarlett didn't know as her husband had not stated it to her yet.
It took Alex a good two hours to reach the place he was looking for.
In the forest covered area, there was a really small clearing where a ruined temple's gate lay.
Scarlett could feel some elemental energies around this place and could guess that there might be traps present.
Scarlett helped Alex avoid the traps and walked inside the temple's gate with him.
There was darkness at first, but as they walked further down a dark narrow path, they entered a hall.
There was an opening in the ceiling from where light seeped in and illuminated this dark hall.
As Alex looked around, he could see some old inscriptions on the walls and finally, a stone altar on a raised platform.
Him and Scarlett went close to the altar and on it, there were carvings of spiders and other venomous creatures.
Alex smiled looking at that. This was exactly what he was searching for.
Looking at the stone altar, Scarlett showed somewhat of a surprised look. "You were looking for a Demon Summoning Array?"
This was more of a portal than an array. It opened up right in the demon world and could give access to the demons to hop into this place without the need of a dungeon or anything else.
It could also be called a Demon Summoning Array since it was related to a specific bloodline and not any particular world. Wherever that bloodline would be, the summoning portal would open up and allow the creature to walk into it.
Since there were spiders drawn on this, it was related to the demons with half spider and half humanoid body.
Alex knew of this as well and nodded in response. "This summoning array would be responsible for the apocalypse in future. I'm just going to tweak it a bit."
This was Alex's goal. He wasn't destroying it, just changing a few things in the array settings for his own personal benefit.
In the second regression, the Amazon was filled with insect-type demons. This was their turf and not a single human could survive for even a single minute in this place, it was just that dangerous.
Even the Cursed Church had no idea about this. Actually, the Cursed Church pretty much didn't know what they themselves were doing, other than thinking that they were summoning demons and taking revenge for their oppression.
Their targets were major cities of the world and they thought that the demons would disappear after causing chaos, but they were dead wrong in that aspect and got killed by the demons themselves in future.
Humanity on Earth got wiped out by a bunch of fools and it was really a very sad sight.
Though, Alex felt remorse in that aspect since he had already lost everything there was and nothing of note was left on Earth for him.
But, now was a different story and he was working hard just for the sake to protect everything dear to him.
Alex tweaked the altar as he had stated and when finished, went out with Scarlett avoiding the traps and other things.
The reason Alex had brought Scarlett here was to avoid these traps and to get protection, in case he messed up and ended up summoning the demons.
His wife was really strong and had the ability to protect herself and him. She was a Goddess and wouldn't have many problems in regards to this thing.
Alex could've brought someone else from the group too, but they each had their roles to do for now and he had other plans for everyone.
Alex had a plan to spend one day with one of them each and get to know them better and bond.
Today was Scarlett's and there was still some time remaining for the day to end and Jackie to come back, so he went to explore the Amazon with her.
It was a date with his wife and the first thing the two did was hunt for a beautiful flower, which ended up with Scarlett finding a nice red one, while Alex just hugged her in the end and stated about him having the most beautiful flower with him all along.
For the cheeky comment, he got rewarded by Scarlett's gleeful laughter and then a warm kiss.
Next, the two began playing with a python and clicked pictures of colorful frogs, which were obviously poisonous.
The day then ended and Jackie came back to pick these guys up.
However, instead of going back home, Alex said that he knew of a dungeon nearby and wanted to raid it.
Scarlett and Jackie ended up joining him and Alex began with the dungeon raid.
…..
A week passed by.
In the Amazon, Alex cleared the low rank dungeon and got many cores through which he awakened his genes.
These were nowhere enough, but would make do for now and turned him stronger.
There were barely any strong Blesseds in the world and the dungeon was the only resort for Alex.
Not to mention, he couldn't kill any Blessed and consume their essence as in the demon invasion, humanity wouldn't be able to put up even a little bit of fight against them if that happened.
There was a serious need to get himself as powerful as possible before the demon invasion.
The demon invasion would be his door to finding the Celestial Archway of Ascendance and ascending to the higher realms.
Dungeons were a really useful thing in this world and also difficult to clear. In Alex's case though, he basically had his wives as a cheat and leveled up really fast.
He knew of most of the dungeons in the Amazon and whichever ones he didn't know, he would simply ask Jackie and she would tell him.
Jackie was sensitive to Space everywhere and could find anything and everything.
The dungeon raids needed a bit of time and so to clear them all, Alex brought over all his wives, including Lucielle and Nicole.
They went to one dungeon after another for the next one month and the boost Alex got was so massive that he could easily rival the strongest of Blesseds in this world.
Alex really didn't need to do a lot of things in this place due to his wives being present here.
They cleared up pretty much everything and were a really overpowered group.
All Alex had to do was consume cores, train his martial art skills, and then unlock his genes.
With each gene unlock came great powers with lightning fast reflex, high endurance, and strong bones being one of the many benefits.
Alex stuck to the dungeons in the Amazon itself and as these were all cleared up, Alex had successfully altered a future threat.
In the future, these dungeons would open up everywhere and due to being uncleared and left open, would cause the creatures of other worlds to enter Earth.
Amazon's dungeons weren't really too big of a threat since the demons had killed them all on their own. But, the demons had taken some of these guys as their subordinates and now that thing would be scrapped off.
Alex didn't know what the snowball effect of altering one event would lead to, but he had to use each and every benefit to his own use and grow as much as possible.
Strength was not a problem of Alex as of now as he could easily challenge any blessed in the top 100 ranking.
To rise further, he would need to clear bigger and stronger dungeons which were located in various other parts of the world.
There was no time to do that for now as he needed to save Hazel.
Alex really had great ambitions in the start to run a company and become rich and whatnot, but now with the truth of the world being out in the open and what had happened to Earth and then to his own self, Alex couldn't care less about this.
Lucielle was damn rich on Earth and Nicole was damn influential. There was no other need for anybody and these two could handle pretty much everything.
After returning home, the first thing Alex did was to check up on his progress he made in the dungeons and once he was done with it, went to have a meeting with Lucielle and Nicole both.
There were a few important things he had to talk about and after this meeting, maybe the politics of the world would see a change, thought Alex.
