Alex, Pearl, and Scarlet walked out of the poison forest in a few short minutes, as they understood there was not much time left before the trial was over.
As soon as they walked out, Alex wasted no time and immediately ran toward the edge where the two spires lay. "If this works, I'll see you two on the next island!"
Pearl and Scarlet could only stay behind and watch.
Alex arrived before the two spires: the White Spire that could be shut down to remove all requirements and suppression, and the Black Spire that could be activated to teleport directly to the next island.
Alex had no way of deactivating the White Spire—which he had wholeheartedly tried. But because Wu Tanglan had been there next to the Black Spire the whole time, he hadn't had the opportunity to test it out. At the same time, he needed to help Pearl and Scarlet reach the center before he used it.
As a result, he had to hold back until now.
But now that everything was completed, this was all that remained.
