Novel's Extra: I Awakened The Strongest Physique From The Start

CHAPTER 168 - Removed.

Clatter-PatterAll Alex could hear was the sound of debris falling about and the eerie stillness of the surroundings. There was no other sound after the explosion.

"Urgh..." Rubbing his eyes, Alex slowly opened his eyes, adjusting to the surroundings.

Soon, his eyes returned to normal, the light subsiding, leaving a scene of utter devastation. Alex found himself bound by radiant chains of light, their warmth deceptively masking the strength they carried.

Everything around him was in ruins—once vibrant square now reduced to rubble.

As he observed the surroundings, his eyes finally caught sight of Elyra. Her body was limp and battered as she remained embedded within the fountain, now broken into pieces.

"Elyra!" Alex shouted, his voice echoing through the eerie silence. He struggled against the chains, but his strength wasn't enough to break free.

[You'll have to use your star power,] Sophie advised, but before Alex could act on it, Elyra stirred to his astonishment.

Her fingers twitched, and then, with a sharp gasp, she leaped from the shattered fountain. Her wounds, which had seemed fatal moments ago, began healing at an incredible pace. The lesser aura coating her broken knife pulsed faintly, as though it were aiding her recovery.

'W-What just happened?' She couldn't even understand what had happened. All she recalled was the blast that sent her flying into the air.

Her gaze landed on her body, her wounds getting patched up in real-time, making her eyes go wide in wonder. 'What the hell? Did I get superpowers as well?' He thought to herself, grinning inwardly.

Elyra could feel herself growing stronger with every passing second.

'Ah, this golden light,' she smiled as he saw the lesser aura covering her knife—cracked from many spots—and Alex's face flashed past her mind. 'It's just like his—wait!'

Her eyes suddenly widened as she remembered that Alex was also caught up in the light. Her gaze quivered,

BOOM!

Alex braced for impact, raising his hands to cover his head, but the impact he waited for never came.

As he removed his hands, he finally took in his surroundings. He was standing on barren, desolate land. The horizon stretched endlessly, devoid of any features or life. The air was dry, and the silence was deafening.

He looked around, his mind racing. "Where... am I?"
