Chapter 656 Corruption?
Alina expected Alex to suggest a ridiculous plan that will pull them out of their situation. That was just how Alex had been all this time, so Alina was used to it already.
But Alex actually suggested that they will be using the Abyss Realm for their Main Mission?
There is no way that Alina can accept this, especially with Alex"s condition this time!
So what if Alex is the Abyss Envoy? So what if Abyss Magic is Alex"s strongest power right now?
In Alina"s opinion, these benefits are jacks**t in face of the disadvantages from the Abyss Realm!(Corruption and Brainwas.h.i.+ng y"all)
"…."
It was the existence of these disadvantages that urged Alina to stop Alex from cooperating with the Abyss Realm in this world, as she knew that things will get worse if she lets him continue here.
Even if Alex"s plan sounds feasible, Alina knew that there is a high chance that Alex will continuously get corrupted by the Abyss once he starts his plan…
This is something that she could not allow to happen, and she obviously was unhappy because of this.
Allina already had a bad scare when Alex fell into a coma, so she was not willing to see him plunge into another danger today.
For Alina, Alex"s well-being was her number one priority, and not even this plan of his can make her change her mind!
"Alex, take back what you said and don"t attempt that plan. Because if you do, things will just get worse for us." Alina did not let Alex explain himself anymore as she uttered these words, which made her look as if she was scheming something. "You can do anything that you want, but don"t affiliate yourself with the Abyss Realm for now…."
Alina also grabbed Queen Mother and Professor Frances with both her hands this time, pulling them in such a way that made her actions appear confounding. "I don"t care if cooperating with the Abyss Realm will make our mission easier. The Abyss Realm is not someone that we could trust, not with your current condition today…"
"…"
With her mind still feeling too much anxiety for Alex"s condition, Alina steeled her heart as she quickly mapped out her next course of action.
"…."
Right now, Alina has decided to stop Alex from implementing his new plan, and she will not allow him to do anything else that is related to the Abyss.
Whether it be by her wits or brute force, Alina will do everything that she can to stop Alex, even at the cost of her own safety.
Oh, and even if Alex grows to hate her this time, Alina did not give any s**t about that. His safety is the priority after all.
"Oi, Alina. What the h.e.l.l are you doing? Are you thinking of…" With the intense emotions raging inside her heart, ALina was unable to hide her true intentions to Alex, allowing the latter to realize what she was about to do next.
Naturally, it made Alex panic, making him raise his voice as he tried to dissuade her. "Oi Alina. The Abyss Realm is our best shot in this world, so please, let us do this plan! You want to win already, right? So don"t hesitate anymore and-"
"Alex, I don"t know what deal you made with the Abyss Realm during your coma, but I can see that it"s affecting you this badly. If that deal alone made you like this, then what would happen if you team-up with the Abyss in this world? Things will just get worse for you!"
ALina did not display too much of her emotions this time, but the tremor in her voice was enough to show how conflicted and angered she was about her current situation.
"Alex, half of your soul has been turned into a decaying material because of your exposure from the Abyss Realm! That alone was giving you this torturous pain, and you can"t even stop it!"
Alina tried her best to dry her eyes at this point, but she was failing miserably at it, as tears began pouring out of her tear ducts.
"Hik…" As much as Alina tried to calm herself down, her tears just won"t stop from coming out. It poured out of her in generous quant.i.ties, and it showed no sign of stopping.
"Alex would you turn into a monster if continue making contact with the Abyss Realm? I don"t know what will happen at that time, and I don"t want to see it happening too. So please… please don"t make your situation worse!"
"…"
Alina could have said more words after this, but her tears suddenly reached an amount so high, that the only thing that she could do now was to sob silently in front of Alex.
"Hik…"
Eventually, her sobs and tears became so much, that they turned into an emotional cry, one that ripped out of Alina"s throat like a tortured bird.
"Wuaaaaah!!!!!"
Alina"s primal and raw cry was infused with all the pent-up emotions that she had been holding all this time, making her sound like a different person.
Gone was the Alina who was always confident and indifferent about her actions.
Gone was the Alina, who in face of her sister"s death and the difficulties of reviving her, was able to retain her calm.
Gone was the Alina who was not fond of showing her intense feelings to her friends and to Alex.
Gone was the Alina who prefers to keep her emotions in check, for the purpose of winning her fight.
What was left of Alina was a person who cracked under all the burden pressing down on her body, a state that was unsurprising to see, given all the stress that she went through.
But for Alex, he was greatly shocked to see Alina having a breakdown like this.
"Wuahh!!!"
"Listen, Alina. I never intended to let things be like this. I was just-"
"Alex, if you know what"s best, then don"t speak first! Alina is already having a breakdown, and the best that you can do is whine like this? What kind of a man are you?" Professor Frances" angered roar overshadowed Alex"s words, and the rage in her tone had forced Alex to stop speaking altogether.
"Alex, Alina had been in the edge for the past 7 months because of your condition. Can you imagine all the stress and worries that she had because of that? Of course you won"t, since you are f**king sleeping!" Queen Mother rarely sounded angry, but this was one of those times, and boy, was she really p.i.s.sed.
"Hmph, must be nice for you to wake up and expect that Alina will be fine. You made her go through a lot and you did not even think that she will be like this? How disappointing of you…" Queen Mother added, as she visibly looked like she was holding herself back. "Did the Abyss corrupt you so much that you had even neglected Alina"s well-being too?"
"…."
Professor Frances was visibly restraining herself too, but she was having a mightily hard time stopping her arm from extending towards Alex.
"Even if I, Professor Frances, tends to be evil sometimes, there is no way that I will make someone like Alina cry. She"s loyal to all of us, and she is someone who I treat as a friend. But here you are Alex, making her go through things that she should not be experiencing! Is this how you should really act?"
"…."
"Alex, instead of standing there like a tree, you should come here and console Alina. That is the only thing that you can do now. Or are you telling me that you can"t even do that?"
"…."
"…."
"…."
"…."
"…."
"…."
************
With the breakdown that Alina had shown, and the rebuking words that Queen Mother and Professor Frances had given to Alex, Alex would obviously start doing his best to soothe Alina and console her.
After all, this is what any normal person would do in this situation.
But to the great surprise of Queen Mother and Professor Frances, Alex did not show any signs that he was apologetic for his actions.
Instead of approaching Alina to console her, Alex actually distanced himself away from them, with his guilty expression now replaced by a disappointed look!
"!!!"
"!!!"

"You should know much better!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
This change in Alex quickly caught Queen Moher and Professor Frances off guard, as they realized that something about Alex has suddenly changed now.
"J̷̠͒͆͝l̸̙̅̓k̵̨͌͒̏j̸͖͙̮̑l̶̼̖̅́̍ͅķ̸̩̳̑d̵̛̰͍̒̏j̷̲̺͗̄l̶͇̜̎̿f̶͎̼̱̀̿k̶͖͈̪͂a̴̜͕̽͊̊͜j̵̣͑̀l̶̜̪̒d̴͈̩͉̑̾k̶͖̖͒̀̎ḟ̷̣͚j̸̧͖̈́̓l̶̤̳̀̚ŝ̷̪̞̺ḏ̸͂̋ḵ̶̢͚̈j̸̳́̓͆f̶͖͉͙͊l̴̻̜̎̈͝a̴̜̿"
Whatever this change is, it is definitely not good, and it made them want to distance themselves away from Alex.
But no matter how much these two tried to move their bodies, they found themselves stuck on their spot.
"!!!"
"!!!"
"Hoh, are you two trying to run away?u003ẹ̵̷̼̪̩́́́̍͜(̶͚͉́͊*̷̪̓@̸̳̉(̴̡̩͙͛́͂*̷̠͐̂͠ͅ#̸͎̈@̸̦̍̅(̷̢̦̀ What"s the problem? Aren"t we discussing about my plan?

"My plans already helped you out before, so why are you not accepting my plan right now? Hmph, without me, you three are just stupid b***s that will die easily! So don"t give me your pathetic c.r.a.p! All of you are my property, so you should follow my f**King plan!"
"!!!" Queen Mother and Professor Frances tried to use their powers in different ways just to find a way for them to escape, but just like before, they were rendered motionless under Alex"s gaze.
All that they can do now was to endure Alex"s hate-filled stare, which is just making them want to burrow and hide on the farthest ends of the world already.
"So my lover ALina is crying. That is not good. But so what? It"s her fault that she"s weak now, so don"t f**king blame me! Or else-u̶̟̠̘̔4̶͍̄̉ó̸̲̘̦͑̿3̸̢͙̹͑͘u̷̜̖͚̍̀̕4̸͓̰̐́͐3̸̧͓͍̾̚o̶̞̊̔i̴͚͌̐̈"
