Sometime later, Cassandra had to leave the Grays. Alexander knew the catwoman had no place to live, so he made a suggestion.

    Outside planet Earth, Alex and Cassandra stood in space, staring at the celestial bodies, particularly planet Jupiter.

    "You could make that planet your new home," Alex suggested. "Of course, that is if you want to live here."

    "Let''s get closer," Cassandra said as she flew ahead, reaching the planet''s orbit in a second.

    Unlike the other planets, Jupiter didn''t have much of a surface and the atmosphere was unfavourable to support life.

    But for Alex, changing the planet''s condition was nothing but an inconvenience.

    "It will do," Cassandra nodded in satisfaction. "But is this okay? You said you''re not the ruler of the universe, right? Can you give this planet away?"

    Alex chuckled at her question. "I may not be the one at the top, but I am the one at the top." He said. "And aside from hunters, people can''t live here."

    "Makes sense." Cassandra nodded. "Do your magic and I''ll watch."

    The catwoman wanted to see what else was different from before. She still remembered how Alex felt different from before and was looking forward to seeing what he could do.

    "Oh, this won''t take long." Alex shook his head. Then his composure changed, the atmosphere around him becoming profound, something Cassandra didn''t miss.

    ''I was right,'' She reaffirmed her suspicion. However, what she expected Alex to do was not what he did. Instead of tapping into his laws to terraform the planet, Alex just spoke.

    "Become sustainable, support life." Alex muttered and that was it.

    For a moment, Cassandra was confused. However, under her shocked and surprised gaze, she watched as the planet''s atmosphere changed, continents and oceans came into existence.@@@@

    Mountains, rivers, and everything that a life-supporting planet needed came into existence... including plants and animal life.

    Life.

    ''This is crazy,'' Cassandra mused. ''Are beings like ourselves supposed to have such power? What if some other being gained this kind of power? Would they be as calm as he is? Will I be as calm?''

    The catwoman swallowed hard.

    After spending some time exploring the planet, Alex led Cassandra to the estate he had built for her. The estate was huge, but not too huge to induce a sense of loneliness. Just big enough for someone like her.

    "You can change whatever you want about the place once you deepen your understanding of fundamental principles," Alex said after they toured the entire place. "Also, I''ll be getting busy soon and will not be around for a day or two. No one will approach this place to bother you in any way."

    "Thank you," Cassandra nodded, feeling grateful for all his help. Especially the things he showed her. It opened her eyes to many things she didn''t think was possible.

    ''I still limit myself. It''s time to shed that mortal shell and become like him.'' Her thoughts made her think about that Supreme Walker fellow. ''Maybe that being is already at his level and might even be stronger.''

    "Just focus on yourself," Alex said suddenly, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Stop worrying about everyone else and focus on yourself."

    "Fine." Cassandra sighed, now completely convinced Alex could read minds. "But you shouldn''t be reading people''s minds like that. It''s creepy."

    "Of course," Alex chuckled. "But you have to protect your soul as well. What I did was not mind reading, but seeing the fluctuations in your soul and understanding them."

    "Is there a difference?" The catwoman asked, curiosity in her tone. Alex had just revealed something else to her.

    "Not really, but there is a bit of difference," Alex answered. "Our souls connect with our bodies through our mind. Thoughts are simply soul fluctuations revealing intents. So if your soul fluctuations are opened to someone who could read and understand them..."

    "They are basically reading your thoughts." Cassandra completed.

    "Exactly." Alex nodded. "To actually read your mind means to see beyond your surface thoughts. Thoughts you''ve had years ago, months ago or even secrets you keep hidden."

    "I see..." Cassandra could understand his words, sort of. "In any case, thank you." She added with a sigh.

    "Sure." Alex smiled. "See you in a few."

    With that, Alex disappeared from the planet.
