The Goblin's Leveling System!

Chapter 71: Side Story: Alex is... (5)

"Time is up, what's your decision?"

A person in a white lab coat went inside the room that I was confined in and his voice was the same as the one who talked with me via the speaker.

Damn it! I thought that I still had tomorrow before I would be interrogated by them.

Should I kill him using my soul energy? But I still do not have enough soul energy to kill everyone in here.

Just as I was in a desperate situation, Axel lightly tapped my shoulder and showed me a palm of soul energy that acted like fire, and the fire-like soul energy danced throughout his hand.

"I have plenty of soul energy so you can use them. Just leave enough for me to maintain my soul."

Axel said while waiting for my response.

I cannot repay him enough gratitude for all of the things that he had done for me.

"Don't mention it! As I had said before, I treat you like my own brother!"

Axel had read my mind and made me confident enough to go against the BHCRC organization even if I had to fight them to death.

It's either they or I would be the one who will die.

"Do you want to reveal all of the information about your inventions or die a horrible death?"

The man with a lab coat asked while sounds of muffled footsteps resonated as several armed security guards entered the room and accompanied the man.

"I choose neither of the choices you had offered me! I choose the third choice! Which is to destroy this rotten organization!"

I wrapped my hand with soul energy and concentrated it so that it will be much more potent than usual.

I conjured a soul energy bullet and shot it at high speed. It landed on one of the security guards' heads.

"Soulerium? It seemed that I forgot that you still had soulerium inside of you."

The man in a white lab coat said.

It seems that the man had forgotten that I had soulerium. Now's my chance! I need to precisely crush his head using my soul energy hand.

I transformed my soul energy into a huge hand and directed it towards the man in a white lab coat.

Just as I was about to crush his head using my soul energy hand, there was a force that prevented me from infiltrating his soul thus I can't crush his head.

"Are you surprised that your soulerium doesn't work on me? You're going to be a dead man anyway so I might as well tell you. I commanded one of the 9 geniuses to create a chemical that would be able to repel your soulerium. It's still in its experimental phase but it seems that there wouldn't any need to further experiment on it."

As expected of one of the successful test subjects! They had the same IQ as mine and one of them was able to create a chemical that could repel my soulerium.

But that's just it. They can only create a chemical that could repel soulerium, not control and eradicate it.

Comparing the capabilities of the other 9 geniuses to myself, I am smarter than them.

"So what if it can repel soulerium? I did not even use all of it so I don't believe that I can't kill you using my soul energy!"

I imbued most of my soul energy into the soul energy hand that was holding the man in a lab coat's head.

The foreign chemical that was repelling soulerium gradually faded as I put on more force into my soul energy hand.

The foreign chemical was completely eradicated and I was now holding the man's soul in my soul energy hand.

I exerted all of my strength to crush the man's soul and the man screamed in agony as his soul was being crushed.

Just as I was about to entirely crush the man's soul, I felt a stinging sensation on my nape and I started to feel sleepy.

I lost control over my body and eventually, my body flopped on the floor.

I gathered all of my strength and willpower to command my body to move but all my efforts were futile.

My eyes suddenly shut and I passed out.

********

I woke up and I felt that my body was lied down on a flat surface while I cannot move my body.

I observed my surroundings and found out that I was strapped on a bed.

I struggled with all my might but I still wasn't able to break free from the durable straps that bound me.

The surroundings were all white and it had the same layout as the previous room that I was confined in.

The only difference was there were several tools on the table beside me and if I'm not wrong, it was a tool used for all kinds of torture.

Was Axel still with me? I would appreciate it if he could help me get out of this bed.

Axel then appeared in front of me, levitating while looking down at me. His mouth opened as he started to speak.

"I can no longer help you, Alex. Even if I wanted to, I'm just a powerless alter ego that had created a soul. I am only capable of soul attacks, therefore I am not able to help you destroy the metal that was strapped on you."

Can you just remove my soul and kill me?

"I am also not able to do that or we both would die. I am not able to kill your physical body and detach your soul. And even if I kill you, as long as I am still residing in your body I would not be able to reincarnate. So if you die while I'm still occupying your body, my soul would shatter and eventually be destroyed. Only your soul would be able to live."

So that's why you said that your time was limited in staying inside my body.

"Yes. I apologize for being incompetent again that I can only witness your suffering."

"Why are you talking about suffering? I still haven't been tortured?", I asked Axel.

"I used my soul search skill and found out that there is a living being approaching this room and he is currently opening the door."

After Axel said that, the door let out a creaking sound as it slowly opened. Was the BHCRC organization that poor to not even grease the hinges of the door?

A man wearing the same lab coat as the man who spoke to me via speaker entered the room.

"Are you ready to experience hell again?"
