The young man was too shocked when he saw a dragon. His body refused to move even though he wanted to leave immediately. This was the first time he saw a dragon, but he was sure that a creature like this was far stronger than him.

The dragon that emerged from the lake had white skin on the inside, while the scales were mostly green.

However, Alex could see the huge disturbance in his Divine Energy and asked. "You are injured?"

"I have never thought that I can meet another God Rank Expert in this world. I don't know why you can hide your power, but I have certainly sensed your Divine Intent. May I know your title?" The dragon politely asked.

"How about you answer my question first and I will answer your question? The old rule." Alex narrowed his eyes.

The dragon thought for a moment and nodded. Even though he could feel that Alex's strength was below him, he still had no strength to defeat Alex, so it was better to solve this whole situation peacefully.

However, to the two people besides them, this was the one that almost took their lives with just how shocking this matter had become.

God Rank Expert?

Divine Intent?

God does really exist and he has descended?

And what about the dragon?

It was also considered Divine Being.

The young man looked at Alex with fear as he thought, 'Did I just offend a God? This is not the matter of mortals anymore… That bitch! If I can leave this place alive, I will kill that b*tch.'

"Yes, I was and am still injured. Back then, I fell into this world after roaming to many worlds. However, I knew that my existence would bring so much evolution to the world, so I made a pact to let me stay in this world. Unfortunately, this world didn't have enough energy to let me recover, so I thought I would stay here until the end of my life. In other words, it is my retirement place."

Alex nodded in understanding and answered his question. "I have no definite title, but the closest one to me is Gacha God."

"I see. It's a pleasure to meet you, I am known as Green Divine Dragon."

"May I know about your pact?"

The dragon nodded. "You should know that there is a chance that a Divine Herb can appear even in a world like this, right?"

"Yes."

"I planned to use it to recover, but it seemed to not possible. After waiting for five hundred years, I haven't gotten anything that can heal my injury. As for the reason why I can stay in this world…If a Divine Herb can be here without interfering with the world, why can't I?"

Alex thought for a moment. "I see. Unlike the Spiritual Energy, we can stay here as long as we don't have too much Divine Energy."

"Exactly." The dragon nodded. "This is not a question, but a request. May I ask you to bring me out of this world, so I can recover in another world?"

"What can you offer?" Alex asked.

"I am not very sure. I don't search for treasures or anything, so I don't know what I can give you." The dragon shook his head. "If you want something, I can help fulfill your desire."

Alex used his Spirit Eyes and asked, "How about having a contract with me?"

"A contract? You should know that it's not an easy decision, right? For us, a contract is a sacred thing that can't be decided easily as it will bind two parties together."

"Of course. I know that your strength is Rank 3 God. However…What about this…"

Alex's Pure Fire soared to the air as it turned into a fox. That power quickly suppressed the dragon's fire element.

Alex looked at this hundred meters long dragon and asked. "This is not an ordinary one."

"I am afraid it's still not possible. It's truly a blessing to have a master who has a Pure Fire, but that is not enough."

Alex smiled. The fox shrunk and turned into animal parts on his body as Alex used the Elemental Suppression to another level.

"!!!" The dragon widened his eyes. "What is this power? I can't even move my body? Even facing a Pure Fire, I can still move my body, but in front of—"

Before he completed his sentence, he remembered what Alex said earlier. "You…You…"

Alex smiled. "You seem to have recognized this flame. I would like to ask you again, what do you think about a contract?"

The dragon narrowed his eyes.

"I don't really mind if you don't want to. Just promise me to never tell or give a hint about my existence. Besides, my wife is the Celestial Fox and her fire has reached the same level as mine. I can't promise you that you will reach that level, but you will surely become far stronger in the future." Alex smiled.

The dragon closed his eyes. "May I know why you want me?"

"There is no particular reason. You are strong, so I want you."

"I see. The same reason, I guess." The dragon thought for a moment. "I can offer you a life and death contract, but I would like to state two conditions."

"Sure."

"First. I don't want to be only a sacrificial creature."

"At that time, you are already like my family. I better fight until I die than sacrificing my family."

"Then, I would also like some freedom. I have a wish, so I don't like being bound every single second."

"You have your own freedom. Even the other contracted beasts have their own desires and I have no intention to stop them, but I would like you to lend your strength when it's necessary."

"In that case, it's settled." The dragon bowed his head as the two seemed to connect their energy, forming the contract.

On Alex's back, a pair of dragon horns appeared on top of Sherry's fox symbol, but no one saw it yet.

At the same time, the dragon felt his body was connected to Alex's Pure Fire and enjoyed the baptism inside his body.

"It seems like you need to have a deep sleep." Alex observed the dragon's body with his Spirit Eyes. "If you want, you can turn smaller and hide inside my pocket or my Pure Fire. I am sure that most of your physical injuries will be healed by that time. You can then take your time to heal your inner injuries."

The dragon nodded before turning to the monk. He stretched his hand to the monk and gently tapped his forehead with the tip of his claw.

The forehead suddenly glowed and turned into a dot.

"You have been here for ten years, hoping to see me. This is a reward for your perseverance. I know that you have your own religion, so I don't need you to respect me or anything. This is a bit of my energy that will protect you until you die. If you really want to pay me back, you may live your life according to your teaching. That's all." The dragon's gentle voice touched the monk's heart.

"This…" The old monk gasped. "I understand. To think that at this age, I would have actually met a celestial being. I wish to meet the God I believe in, but it seems I don't have the chance in this life. However, I would still follow your word because even if I can't meet my own God, other people might see him in the future. I will offer the last bit of energy that I have to go out of the monastery and spread the love."

The dragon nodded and turned to the young man next to Alex. "Master…Do you want me to kill him?"

"It's fine." Alex shook his head. "He still has his use. You should recover first."

"I understand." The dragon shrank and entered his body. He hid inside Alex's Pure Fire like what Sherry and the others did in the past.

When everything finished, Alex turned to the monk. "Will you judge me for what I have done earlier?"

"Amithaba. Mortal laws are not qualified to judge a being such as you. This puny monk would like to apologize if I have offended you in any way." The monk shook his head. "Besides, rather than dying here, it's better to spread love and happiness to the world. Thank you for teaching me this, I would have lived my life to the fullest."

Alex touched his forehead and used his Pure Fire to burn anything that wasn't supposed to be there. "With this, you shouldn't fall sick anymore. Treasure your life, Old monk."

"Amithaba." The monk politely bowed to him.

Alex then turned around, walking toward the young man.

"I didn't know your holiness's status. Please forgive this insignificant human. I—"

"Enough. I have given you the choices, but you don't treasure it." Alex shook his head. "Show me the way to the so-called Xi Family."

"Ye-yes." The young man repeatedly nodded while thinking that a Divine Judgment would soon fall.

Alex didn't forget about the corpses. He snapped his finger as his Pure Fire burned the bodies and evaporated the corpses.

The monk and the young man were shocked when Alex only burned all the things related to the humans he killed. No grass or any other things were harmed by the flame.

The bloodied ground had returned to its former state as if nothing happened.

They truly believed that Alex was indeed a God.

"Show me the way." Alex then narrowed his eyes, pressuring the young man.

"Yes, yes." The young man quickly guided Alex down the mountain. Since Alex didn't say anything, he didn't dare to get the car that brought him to the foot of the mountain. He simply rushed to the Xi Family, hoping to not be acquainted with them anymore.

It took them an hour to reach the Xi Family, but both still had a calm face as if the journey was nothing tiring. However, if one took a closer look, the young man had a stressful expression.

"Xi An, you b*tch. Come here now!" The young man shouted in front of their garden.

The moment all the people in the house heard that, they came out of the house. It turned out that only two people were left in this house. Even Alex's Spirit Eyes told him so.

"Haha! You are back. I will torture you first and have you fixed this arm of mine. After that, I will make you feel dying is better than living." Xi An laughed uncontrollably.

However, the old man seemed to have found something between the young man and Alex. He mysteriously asked, "Killing is against the law…"

"Shut up, you old man." The young man snarled. "Mortal laws are not applicable. You have invited the wrath of God, you should—Ah!"

Alex's Pure Fire burned him into nothingness. Even his ashes had been burned. "You said too much. I didn't promise you can live too."

"!!!" Xi An widened her eyes when she saw the young man died. Meanwhile, the old man sighed. "I had expected some things after the first meeting, but it seemed I underestimated the whole situation. Luckily, I have forced all people in the house and out here. This lowly one would like to ask your holiness to limit this matter to this lowly life because everything happened due to me."

"You are always too late to act." Alex shook his head and snapped his finger. His Pure Fire burned the house down in two seconds until nothing left. No one could even see how the flame devoured the house, but the old man perfectly understood what kind of being he had offended.

"Yes. Even so, there is no grandfather who would like to die after watching his granddaughter die. So…This lowly life will offend your holiness once again even if it means I need to go to hell." The old man smiled and took a step forward, trying to protect his granddaughter.

Alex snapped his finger again and burned him in an instant, not letting him feel pain when he died.

"Ah… Thank you for your last goodwill. This lowly one regrets everything he has done…" The old man sighed and finally disappeared to nothingness.

"You-you-you-you—" Xi An looked at Alex with fear. She had many thoughts in her mind, but Alex didn't even let her think and kill her. "I have no time to deal with you."

This would lead to many stories because the old man's left a will for all his sons and daughters, saying that everything was his fault and not to seek anything from it, especially revenge.

The media would keep showing it to the masses for a long time, but everything would result in the same conclusion…

At that time, Alex had no time to see what kind of thing the media told the people, but it surely went all over the world. He didn't realize that he actually left a legend that might never disappear for thousands of years.

The legend about Divine Punishment.
