Rocky's fists clenched as he listened to Alyssa. If he really wanted to do it, he would not hesitate. However, Alyssa's change was too sudden, and it confused him. Something felt wrong, but he couldn't quite figure out what it was.
"What's stopping you? Can't bring yourself to do it? I'm your enemy now. Being merciful toward your enemy is tantamount to being cruel to yourself. Didn't you kill the spiritual race beings without a second thought? Why do you hesitate now?" Sarcasm dripped from Alyssa's tone as she confronted him. It seemed as though she were deliberately provoking Rocky.
Rocky's gaze flew to Alyssa's face. He glared at her for a brief moment before he turned and left.
"If you don't kill me now, I will definitely kill you!" Alyssa called out as soon as she saw Rocky leave.
But her threat didn't affect Rocky. He walked away without sparing her a second glance.
Alyssa's shoulders drooped, and the spark in her eyes died. She muttered to herself, "Don't blame me!"
Meanwhile, Alston was delighted to learn that Alyssa had succeeded in her plan to ambush Lance and cause his death out of serious injury. As he was the West United Army's Commander in Chief, Lance's severe injuries and subsequent death left the army leaderless. Their morale was greatly affected as if they had seriously come under attack. Alston believed if they continued to chase the survivors, they might destroy the West United Army completely.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Alyssa genuinely wants to avenge her brother. She killed Lance and proved herself. Lance was Isis' father and Basil's father-in-law. If Alyssa weren't genuinely determined, she would never have done this," Dean, who stood beside Alston in the Spiritual King Hall, remarked with a bright smile.
"Alyssa has surprised me. I didn't expect her to be so cruel toward Basil. Well, as long as she wants to help us, I believe that with her ability, she will soon defeat the United Army..." Alston sneered.
"We can't forget that we are only using her. She is troublesome, and we must get rid of her as soon as the battle is over. By the way, send more spies to watch her. We can't let her do anything harmful to us. I can't trust her completely..." Alston instructed Dean after careful consideration.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll do it right away." Dean bowed and left.
"When will Basil integrate the other half of the Divine Spiritual Source?" At that moment, Alston's tone suddenly became sinister.
"Why does it have to be him to do that? Why can't we do that?" Immediately after, Alston's tone returned to normal.
"Because whoever started this trouble needs to end it..."
"What do you mean?"
"This doesn't concern you. You just need to ensure that he finished that as soon as possible."
"That's easy. As long as the United Army is cornered, he will have no choice except to use the Divine Spiritual Source to deal with us."
