Chapter 785 - Character Updates(Must Read!!!)
Author's Note: Please read this chapter too. This is also important for the story.
The next real chapter will be released tomorrow, so please sit tight with me.
Speaking of next chapter, I put a preview of this chapter in the bottom.
*******************
[Alex] - Currently under the influence of the Abyss' corruption. It is not known how extensive the effects of the corruption are, but seeing that he had no qualms on hurting Professor Frances, he must be close to the breaking point already.
Whether he knew that a disaster was happening in the Superhuman World is hard to discern, but with most of his power seemingly coming from this world, he might as well be the instigator of the destruction there.
Due to his extremely corrupted state, Alex's Abyss Magic has propelled him even above Half-Step Transcendent Beings. This means that he could possibly kill one of them, probably at the expense of his own sanity.
He is currently in a hostile stand-off against his comrades, who was unsurprisingly unnerved by his neurotic thinking.
&123;Current Powers&125;: Corruption Abyss Magic(anything can be corrupted to follow the Abyss) and Distortion Abyss Magic(anything can be distorted according to the whims of the Abyss).
****************
[Alina] – With her partner under a corruptive influence, Alina was left with no other choice but to lead the group by herself. This task was obviously stressing her, but she did not show any of these tension.
She instead focused on gathering allies for her cause, with the Church of Wisdom as her main backer in this new world.
She has also obtained the Omniscient Skin, which furthered bolstered her power.
What she will do with all these pieces are still unknown, but the fact that she brought the Pope with her to the Ancestral Tomb speaks volumes about her determination to end Alex's malfeasance.
Speaking of Alex, Alina was also trying her best to keep Sierra(their 'daughter') away from him.
Her abilities give her a fighting chance against Half-Step Transcendent Beings too, but not to the point that she could defeat one.
(Current Powers): Dimension Esper Power, Extreme Darkness Magic, and Universe-Based Chronomancy.
******************
[Professor Frances] – She was never a moral person to begin with, but Professor Frances still knew when to help her allies.
In this case, Professor Frances chose to help Alina and Queen Mother against Alex, which is surprising, given the fact that her chaotic mindset was a great fit with Alex's current state.
She did not show her exact reason for helping out the two, but she showed how much she hated Alex's current form.
As for now, the professor is strong enough for the Sixth Stage, and if given a chance, she could find ways to run away from a Half-Step Transcendent Being.
(Current Powers): Ethereal Soul Magic and God-Level Biological Tinkering.
*******************
[Queen Mother] – Unlike Alina and Professor Frances, Queen Mother seemed to be only slightly worried about Alex's state. She was instead focused on her mission inside the Ancestral Tomb.
This attitude is only natural for her, since she trusts Alex to overcome his problems. As for her two other allies, Queen Mother also trusts them to do their jobs.
Queen Mother's current power is hard to quantify, but she could be seen giving a good fight against a Peak Sixth Stage Being. As for against a Half-Step Transcendent Being, she seemed to have a good counter for them too.
(Current Powers): Tier 6 Strength and Supreme Nature Magic.
*****************
[Asteria] This fairy just realized that Alex and the others has a hidden mission to fulfill, but because of her duties, she could not warn them about it.
Well, even if Asteria could warn them, the way that she was being alienated by her allies made it obvious that she will have a hard time talking to them.
(Current Powers): Mostly locked.
****************
[Sierra] - As the 'daughter' of Alex and Alina, Sierra was worried about the caustic situation between the two.
Her existence after all was fueled by the soul of Alex and Alina, which meant that Sierra could feel everything that they felt.
This includes Alina's anxiety and Alex's madness.
Hmm… Sierra should have been actually corrupted at this point due to her connection to Alex's soul, but her status as a World Soul has saved her from that.
How long she can stay sane at this point is still unknown, since what is happening to Alex is something unprecedented even to her.
Aside from being worried and optimistic, Sierra was also slightly angry towards Alex, as she knew all the happenings in the Superhuman World.
(Current Powers): High Level Law Manipulation.
*********************
[Endless Monarch] – Everything that he had done until this point was fishy, as what he commanded his Travelers to do seemed to have no actual reasoning behind them.
Sure, most of these missions had an effect on the worlds were they happened, but they had no 'use' for someone as powerful as the Endless Monarch. At most, they could only be seen as entertainment for him.
The only important mission that the Endless Monarch had ever issued was the one here in the True God World, although even this was still obscured with mystery.
(Current Powers): Unknown.

NEXT CHAPTER PREVIEW
"Argh!"
Surprisingly, this sensation of crushed brought great feelings of pain on the woman, who panickedly tried to perform more escape techniques.
"Argh!"
But no matter what abilities she used to escape, this female Traveler found no way to free herself.
"Argh!"
She even twisted the space around her, as if she was trying to access a dimension that she can use against her captor. This said dimension almost appeared behind her for a second, but it was quickly crushed before it could touch her.
This failure naturally pissed her more, who was now halfway through having her body get squished to a pulp.
"S**t s**t s**t!"
"I am a Sixth Stage Void Being, which means that I should be able to access the whole powers from my Void Compendium… That alone should have allowed me to escape, since Void Beings like me are the best escapers in the Multiverse!"
