Chapter 42: Salvation Alliance
Enoch was still sleeping soundly, but the entire Divine Tree Realm had fallen in a state of fear and chaos.
Countless people were screaming in the chat channel in panic.
“Why do I feel that the Netherworld’s black fog has become even more turbulent? It’s as if something is stirring inside!?”
“Can anyone help me? I’m a great beauty, I can help you relieve your loneliness, I’m…”
“I’m begging you, can anyone help me? I really don’t want to die!”
“My life will only be in my own hands. What’s the use of begging others here? In the end, I can only rely on myself. My life will only be in my own hands!”
“Brother, what do you want to do? Don’t do anything stupid!”
“I’ve decided to go to the Netherworld and take a gamble! If I can find a way to solve the invasion, then it will be because the goddess of fate is smiling at me. If I can’t find it, then my fate will stop here!”
“Brother, I wish you good luck. I hope the goddess of fate can smile at you.”
“No, no, no! I have a B talent! Can anyone save my life? I’m willing to be your slave.”
The entire chat channel was filled with all kinds of cries for help.
Some of these people chose to take a risk, while others decided to cry and beg.
They all thought that they didn’t have the ability to deal with the Netherworld invasion, so they would do anything to survive.
At that moment, the ugliness of human nature was exposed to everyone’s eyes in the chat channel.
In order to survive, some were willing to sell their bodies while others were willing to become slaves.
Whether these words came from their hearts or not, as long as they were said, the dignity of said person would utterly crumble.
Thus, when Alice skimmed through the comments in the chat channel, her face was filled with disgust.
“If these people are terrified of death, they should have taken action from the very beginning and not become so anxious when death is already knocking on their door.”
Shivana shook her head with a smile when she heard Alice’s words. “If these people really had the courage, they wouldn’t have become like this. They’re just hoping that someone can save them, preferably for free.
“But they forgot one thing. There is no free lunch in this world. All the gifts that fate has given you have already been secretly priced.”
Alice looked at Shivana with surprise. “When did you learn to say such philosophical things?”
“Hey!” Shivana rolled her eyes. “Alice, am I just a rude and stupid girl in your eyes?”
“Aren’t you?”
Alice looked at Shivana with certainty.
“Ah!”
Shivana did not expect Alice to talk about her like that, so she pouted. “You girl, you look so cute, but why do you sound so annoying?” she yelled at Alice unhappily.
“By the way, did the Salvation Alliance contact you?” Alice ignored Shivana’s protest and changed the topic.
Shivana’s face immediately turned ugly when she heard about the Salvation Alliance as if she felt a deep sense of repulsion and animosity.
“They haven’t said anything yet, but I feel that they won’t give up so easily.” Shivana shook her head, then grumbled unhappily, “I don’t like these guys. They don’t treat people as human beings at all.
“They call themselves the Salvation Alliance, yet they treat people as if they are not humans. They are just a bunch of arrogant people. They think that they can become bigshots after gaining some power through luck!”
The more Shivana spoke, the angrier she got. Her small face was filled with anger, and she did not hide her disgust and disdain at all.
Suddenly, Shivana seemed to have thought of something and looked at Alice with a questioning gaze.
“Alice, you aren’t thinking of joining them, are you?
“Let me tell you, if you really want to join them, I will sever all ties with you right now!”
The more Shivana spoke, the angrier she got. It seemed that the Salvation Alliance repulsed her to the extreme, and she hated them to the bone.
Alice smiled helplessly and immediately comforted Shivana. “Don’t worry, I’m just curious. I don’t want to join them.”
“Curious? Curious about what?”
Shivana was even more confused now. What else could Alice be curious about? Was there anything that sparked Alice’s curiosity?
Those Salvation Alliance members were simply a bunch of lunatics and bigots. No one was worth Alice’s attention, right?
“I’m curious if that person will join them. During the first Netherworld invasion, many people will be nervous and fearful. This is the best time for the Salvation Alliance to take advantage of this opportunity to develop and expand.”
“That person?”
Shivana was stunned at first, but then she immediately understood. “It’s THAT person, right!? That fellow called Enoch!”
“Yes.” Alice nodded.
“Enoch is a very mysterious man, and his luck is also very good. I think the Salvation Alliance will not let such a person go. Perhaps they are already trying to rope in Enoch.”
Alice’s tone was filled with deep worry and nervousness.
She actually valued Enoch’s logistical ability. He was able to produce so many Energy Fruits in such a short time after all.
Enoch was definitely an outstanding Divine Tree Master, but also very dangerous!
“It’s highly possible that Enoch’s talents are all related to increasing fruit production. I’m not sure if he has any combat talents. As such, when the Netherworld creatures invade, I’m worried that he might have a hard time, so—”
“This is also his fate,” Shivana said indifferently. “If he really dies during the Netherworld invasion, it will only mean that he is only at this level.
“This world doesn’t lack lucky people, but it lacks people who can always be lucky.
“If he dies during the Netherworld invasion, it will only mean that his luck has been depleted.”
After Shivana finished speaking, she immediately put on a smile. It was as if she had not exchanged views on these serious topics at all.
“…”
Alice looked at Shivana, and after a moment of silence, she could only slowly nod her head.
“You’re right. If he can’t even resist the first Netherworld invasion, it only means that he’s not powerful enough to be our ally!”
