Chương 540: First Trial

Alex landed on the island, the ground beneath his feet cracking under the impact, with the surrounding gravity settling to around 40 from the initial 100Gs he experienced in the sky.

Despite the ominous surroundings, the entire area was bathed in a cold, dry light, not the bright light from the sun or the cool light from the moon but a dim, harsh illumination that barely pierced the gloom.
