Shirley stared at the black tribulation cloud above her head. She felt as if the lightning was about to strike at any second. Her scalp felt numb. Her heart was pounding out of her chest at this point.
However, these were all normal reactions.
Since the soul was made out of Yin energy, ghosts would generally give out a chilling aura as well. Such entities were terrified of lightning. Typically, both flesh and bones would be protecting the soul, completely covering it up. It was completely different this time. Shirley’s soul would have to endure the strike of several lightning bolts. No one would be able to handle that.
Alex handed her the helmet Alyssa used. “Wear this. It highly protects and enhances soul power. Besides, just tie these clothes to your body!”
“Don’t worry. It’s just lightning. Think about it. You’re now crossing the Immortalization tribulation. If you succeed, you’d be Immortal. I don’t even get the chance to, no matter how much I want it. You should be proud of yourself. You’re way ahead of us.”
Shirley replied, “I wanted to be under you.”
Alex froze. “Hancock, don’t just crack a lewd joke out of nowhere. You’re going to be a bad influence on my pure self.”
Shirley buffed, but she wasn’t in the mood for small talks. “You’re going to have to cross a tribulation here soon too. I hope you’re still going to be just as cheerful as you are now. It’s easier said than done, you know.”
Alex replied, “If something does go wrong, I’ll help you.”
“Thank you, if you do help, I’ll be dying quicker… If l do die, you… Ah, whatever. If you’re going to cross a lightning tribulation here, too, you probably won’t be able to get out of here either. And you won’t be able to present my will to everyone.”
“But I do have a way to help you…”
Shirley didn’t seem to believe Alex’s words.
This was within expectations. Only super emperors had helped people cross tribulations, after all. To her, Alex sounded like he was merely bluffing.
After wearing the helmet and suit, she signaled Alex to go further away.
Just then, the lightning struck right down upon her.
Boom!
“How dumb can you be? I’m not even your woman. I don’t need you to experience life and death with me, so get lost!” Shirley screamed.
She then noticed the tribulation cloud changing rapidly. It was now darker than before, the pressuring aura seemed to have become thicker as well. This indicated that the lightning tribulation had included Alex as well. He couldn’t run even if he wanted to now.
“You… Idiot..!”
Shirley no longer had any strength even to diss him, yet she heard Alex say, “I hope it doesn’t run away this time.”
‘What?’
She didn’t understand what Alex meant by that. However, she realized that Alex had stomped the ground so hard that he left a pit under his feet, leaping straight up to the middle of the tribulation cloud.
“I… What the f*ck?!” Shirley couldn’t help but curse.
‘Does he have issues? The lightning is striking down, yet you’re voluntarily taking it head-on?’
