Many people thought the reverse of life was death, but Alex disagreed.
After learning about souls and life force, death was nothing more than another shape of life.
When someone died, they took the form of their soul. There were many ways for them to resurrect and gain another body.
So they still lived, just in another form.
Obliteration was different.
Life was a state of presence where a sentient being existed.
Obliteration was the opposite. It was a state where no living being existed.
No soul, not even a cell.
That was why, when Olivia's gaze locked onto them, both Alex and Mingyue felt dread.
They were full of life force. They were the exact kind of existence that power rejected.
That was Alex's conclusion.
Mingyue accepted the explanation, but frowned.
"If her power is the opposite of life force, can we beat her?" Mingyue asked.
"I don't know. But now I understand how she could beat those dragon overlords. Her power is like Saryx, but on steroids."
