Chapter 108 Church of the Cursed
The deities were always watching...
Such a thing for sure was haunting, thought Alex.
He couldn't help but ask if they were spying on him right now, to which he surprisingly got an answer.
The answer was yes as well as no.
They surely were watching, but not at all times.
They had things to do too and couldn't simply watch people all day long. However, there were also times when things were blocked for them.
Such as times when two Blesseds clashed and one of the deities decided it would be best to hide this clash. This would result in both people being unable to see.
Such circumstances were rare, but there nevertheless.
One fact was proven from it and that was that only deities could block deities.
The system didn't have the means to block the deities, but Alex could always add an integration regarding it later. Where he could find it, that was something he had to figure out on his own.
However, a good thing was that as long as his wife Mel was with him, no deities would be able to spy. Meaning, at least his house was safe.
Time continued to pass and after who knows how long, Alex realized he had been sleeping and didn't wake up yet.
Knowing that people would be worried regarding him, he abruptly woke up, only to see his two wives looking at him with a smile.
"See, told you, he'd wake up any minute." Melissa said and chuckled.
Nix nodded her head and looking at Alex, asked, "are you feeling alright, darling?"
"Yes." Alex replied. "How long have I been asleep for?"
"About two hours."
Alex sighed in relief knowing this. He was then about to ask about Linc, but saw her sleeping beside him.
Concern flashed in his eyes as he stared at her. Extending his hands towards her, Alex checked her pulse.
Melissa and Nix could feel their husband's mood and quickly explained that Linc was fine. It would take a lot more to deal any damage to her.
As mentioned by his wives before, a Jinx would never be killed so easily. The world protected them from being killed as the repercussions of it were not something the world could handle.
Alex knew about this but still was concerned. It was due to him that Linc suffered, and to make matters worse, he couldn't even protect himself, let alone protect her.
For the first time Alex realized the importance of strength in this damned world.
Who would've thought that everything in the world was merely a fa?ade and there was more to it than what the eyes could see.
Whatever plans Alex made after his regression seemed even more challenging now.
There were so many big organizations working in the background that it was honestly really scary. If they were to come to light, each and every person would piss their pants and never go out of their house.
Shockingly enough, Alex came into contact with one such organization just two hours ago.
The guys with the X print on their hands belonged to a place called Church of the Cursed.
As the name suggested, these guys were Cursed. Complete opposite of what Blesseds were.
Beings that were cursed by Gods themselves were Curseds. nove(lb-In
Their existence was hated by everyone as their sole purpose was to bring chaos.
Who they prayed to and derived their powers from, it was something Alex wasn't made aware of. But he at least knew that whatever entity they prayed to was really powerful.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. In a similar manner, a being shunned by a God was bound to be loved by someone who hated Gods.
Alex had made the Cursed Church his enemy. He didn't know how such a thing happened, but the deed was done and he had to immediately destroy them, lest they destroy him and his family first.
With determination in his heart, Alex was now going to set on a new journey in his life, a completely new chapter, and a really dangerous path filled with lurking enemies and the impeding void of the unknown.
.....
The party was over without any further complications. What happened to Alex wasn't known by anybody and everyone went home safely.
Alex had a chat with Nicole and asked her to take care of the mess made in the hotel. She assured him there won't be any trouble from the police.
She also handed him his congratulatory gift that she was unable to give before. It was a special card, approved by the President himself that would give Alex a free pass from the police and even security checks from around the world.
Alex was surprised by it and couldn't help but ask why she was giving him such a precious thing, only to be told that this was nothing compared to her life that he saved.
Alex didn't know what to say to that anymore and his impression of Nicole rose in his heart. She had done so much for him by now, it would be a waste to lose her.
Hence, Alex decided to have her as his wife. Though, it would take some time, given how he rejected her at first. She definitely would be upset about it and he'll need to work hard to convince her.
Wrapping things up with Nicole, Alex went to see Lucielle.
Lucielle was not in a good mood and she had lashed out on the hotel staff a while ago, but when she saw Alex, there was only concern on her face.
She checked up on him and knowing he was fine, heaved a sigh of relief. Marcelle wondered why her mother was so nice to this guy, but well, she didn't ask about it since now wasn't the right time.
While conversing with Lucielle, she offered him to stay with her and Marcelle.
Not temporarily, but permanently. He would get the protection and security of two Blesseds and Lucielle insisted on it for quite some time.
Marcelle didn't like this and was disagreeing, but her worries were for naught as Alex politely declined the offer.
He then had a bit of important talk and eventually left them to meet his wives and Linc.
Linc had woken up and Alex went straight to her and hugged her firmly.
Linc was surprised by this, but didn't voice anything out as she liked this warmth and comfort.
"Are you alright?" Alex asked.
Linc nodded faintly.
He then did a check up on her and she seemed fine. However, her body had become thin and she appeared like someone who hadn't eaten in days.
Alex ordered a lot of amazing delicacies and fed them all to Linc.
He conversed with her for a while and came to an understanding that Linc wasn't aware of her powers yet.
He didn't tell her about it either since he felt it would be better that way for her.
They all then left the hotel and went home. Their parents and everyone else still stayed in the hotel.
There were rooms made available for the guests and the party could continue till morning.
The guests could leave after having breakfast the next day. This was on the house and something Lucielle did on her own accord.
Alex was too tired by now to argue with her on this and simply thanked her on call.
They went to Nix's place which was nearby and slept after some soft cuddles together.
Next morning.
Alex went to check on the equipment he had ordered for his hospital and some of it had arrived while the rest would come over the course of a month.
It was being shipped from different parts of the world and would take some time. The longest wait was for the MRI machine which was being shipped from Japan.
After he was done with these, he went to the rundown warehouse.
Alex cleared off some dust from a table and chair present in the warehouse and sat down to note a few important things.
Taking a deep breath, he put the tip of his pen at the notebook and began jotting down the thing he learnt from the world insights.
The very first thing he wrote were the organizations of the world and what they were doing and how they were related.
Then, on a fresh page, he wrote the most important two words he learnt from the insights.
Events that would change everything in the world and even affect Alex and his family.
Those important two words related to the events were nothing else but...
Awakening.
Apocalypse.
