Chapter 134 Jacqueline

Alex's suspicion made him wonder if this guy had an 'X' etched on the back of his hand or not.

There was no need to cover one's hands with gloves unless the person was a butler or chauffeur.

Alex stared at him and looked as much as he could while getting pushed outside the prayer hall as more people entered inside.

There was nothing Alex could do for now other than watch that man and eventually, he got out of the church and couldn't see the man anymore.

While Alex stared at the church and wondered in what ways he could enter inside, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder.

Turning to see who it was, he found no one, but then felt another tap at the other shoulder.

Once again turning to the side, he found nobody.

"What—"

"Boo!"

A beautiful lady with ash color hair appeared right in front of Alex's eyes and tried to spook him.

Alex wouldn't have liked this prank as he was busy with something, but looking at who this person was, surprise flashed over his face and he asked, "Jackie? Why and how are you here?"

Though Alex said that, the very first thing he did while saying so was to hug Jackie and wrap her in his embrace, afraid that she might get lost in this crowd.

Jackie, short for Jacqueline, was one of Alex's wives and was a tall young lady with ash colored hair and pitch black eyes that expressed the darkness of the void.

Jackie hugged Alex back and said happily, "I missed you, darling..."

That was true. She really did miss him and hadn't seen him properly in a long while.

Even though she had been to Libya to see Alex before, the time she spent with him was short and it couldn't even be considered as spending time together as Alex's state was too bad.

There was a party when Alex accepted the harem, but in there as well, he didn't spend much time individually with everyone as the introductions itself took quite a bit of his time and he had to sleep too.

Right after Ellyn, it was Jackie who hadn't seen Alex in a long while. These two realized at a very late date that Alex had gone away from Elysium and reincarnated.

Jackie had teleported here after the debate was over. She was in her reincarnation body and not the true Goddess one.

Ellyn wanted to see Alex too, but being in her reincarnation body, she didn't have the ability to teleport and thus couldn't jump straight to this place like Jackie.

It seemed that she would need to wait a bit longer and there was nothing she could do to help this.

Alex, after hearing Jackie's sincere and loving comment, couldn't help but hug her and say that he missed her too.

He didn't know much about her and had just met her, but he had accepted her and now all these feelings were genuine and not some formality that he was doing.

In the middle of a big crowd, they embraced each other for a while and eventually, Alex had to let go as they can't be too affectionate in a public place like this.

When Alex broke the hug, Jackie was saddened, but knew that this couldn't be helped.

In any case, the hug had energized her and now in a cheerful mood, she asked, "Do you need some help, darling?"

"Hmm?" Alex wondered what help she was talking about.

Jackie held Alex's hand and turned in the direction of the church. She asked him to look there as well and once he did, Jackie snapped her fingers.

Alex's vision changed from looking at the big church building to suddenly looking at the priest inside who was talking to the man with gloves.

Alex was slightly surprised by this and in the meantime, Jackie asked, "Do you want to follow him, dear?"

She was here exactly for this. It was to help Alex reach whatever goals he had.n))Ovelb1n

Teleportation and everything was her specialty because well...

Jacqueline was the very concept of Space itself!

Space existed because Jacqueline existed. Without her, there would be no such thing as Space or void or anything remotely close to it.

Alex turned to look at his wife and a somewhat complicated emotion swelled up within him. On one hand, he didn't want to trouble his wife, but on the other hand, he knew that he had to make use of her powers otherwise no one was getting saved here and the tragedies would repeat themselves.

Alex internally apologized to Jackie for using her and then made a conviction to shower her with all the love and care in the world when they were in private.

This was the best trade he could offer her and after settling his internal debate, nodded at Jackie in affirmation and got her help.

Jackie smiled in a loving manner and said, "Just keep looking at him. If he goes to some secluded area, we can teleport there and question him."

Alex nodded and continued to watch.

A few minutes later, the man walked away from the pastor and went further inside the church instead of going out.

Alex's vision wasn't distorted by this and he could clearly see where he was going.

The place the man had walked into seemed to be an underground cellar. There were old fashioned rocks and lamps lighting the area with no hints of modern technology visible.

A minute later, the man stopped right in front of a giant rusty door.

He began reciting some prayers in front of the door and it opened itself in a few seconds as the prayers came to an end.

Behind the giant door was a giant X-shaped altar in the middle of the room. There seemed to be a sinister aura spread all around this room and everything was lit only by the red flames of torches attached to the walls.

The man with gloves walked towards the altar and then kneeled down.

He began chanting prayers once again and eventually, the pitch black altar glowed and a cackle resonated in the room.

The cackle was bone chilling and even made Alex shiver, even though he was watching from afar.

Jackie held Alex's hand and ignored the shiver he felt. She began walking away from the church and was in search of a good place where they could sit and relax.

Alex's eyes however were glued to the room and in there he heard an evil voice that asked:

"Speak. Why have you summoned me?"

The voice caused Alex to feel slightly dizzy while the man in front of the altar only trembled for a bit and then said, "O messenger, I seek thou..."

The talk was in an old fashioned manner and this guy was pretty much just asking for help and wanted to be graced by the blessings of his lord.

This dude belonged to the Cursed Church and those guys only worshipped other stronger Curseds or it was demons.

The demon worshipping was done so to bring disaster to this world and other than that, these guys didn't care about them either.

The Cursed people were not loyal to anybody as everybody had rejected them. The only people who they considered somewhat good were other Curseds, but otherwise nobody really cared for anyone.

Since the beginning, the Church of the Cursed had been shunned away by society and they had always been neglected and never given any form of appreciation. They were thoughts as ominous beings and had a hard time surviving.

Many people would come out in the open to click these Curseds as they were a threat to whatever place they went to.

This led to widespread genocide of this particular community and eventually, the remaining survivors banded together and formed an underground church to seek revenge.

A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth. This was the situation of these Curseds.

They were shunned by the society and to feel warmth, were now planning to bring down an apocalypse to this accursed world.

The best way to do so was to contact the demons and these guys were the sole reason for the death of Volkov, Natasha, and Hazel in Alex's second recession turn.

Alex was not going to let this slide so easily and he kept a close watch on everything.

Meanwhile, Jackie reached a park and sat on a bench with her husband. She hugged him and focused on him while he focused on his work.

It was cute and Jackie didn't need much to be happy. Just being with her husband was enough for her.

Alex on the other hand didn't know what was happening on the outside and was focusing fully on the conversation of the Cursed guy with the demons.

The Cursed guy, in an old language, was currently saying to the demon messenger that...
