Shumi's face was a sight to behold. Her eyes were wide open like two large saucers, looking directly at Alex.
"The… what?" she asked, refusing to believe that she had heard it correctly.
"The Undying God's Physique," Alex replied again, pausing slightly this time. "I assume you know what it is."
Shumi nodded. "It's the single greatest inheritance of the demons that has been lost for over a hundred thousand years now," she said. "You have the Undying Physique?"
Alex nodded.
Shumi stared blankly for some time longer before finding words to say.
"So… you are the 7th Undying God," she said.
"9th," Alex said.
"9th? There were two before you that we don't know about?" Shumi asked. The records she had read didn't mention any of that.
"I wouldn't know what you know and don't know about the Undying Gods. I merely know that I'm the 9th," he said. "Actually, can you tell me what you know?"
Shumi's eyes narrowed slightly as she began going through the records.
