If Alex could have done it, he would have already used his powers and advanced senses to scan and observe each part of the Crimson God's body.
However, due to the fact that the Crimson God's body was still filled with power, Alex found his scanning prowess unable to observe his corpse.
This same case seems to have applied to the other Returners too, hence their inability to make a proper judgement.
Because of that, the only way that the Crimson God can be observed was through manual observations.
That means one must touch and prod the Crimson God directly if they want to know more about his body.
That should have been a bad news for Alex and the Returners, as it seemed that none of them had the enough medical and biological expertise to conduct a proper autopsy.
But fortunately for them, there was someone in Alex's group that had this needed criterion.

"Squelch squelch squelch…"
Squelching sounds filled the room as Professor Frances proceeded on applying all of her knowledge upon the corpse of the Crimson God.
She continued prodding her hands inside the Crimson God's Body while giving out comments, something that the Returners and Alex all took note.
"All parts of the Crimson God's chest and torso appear normal. Only his neck cavity and all the areas near his neck have shown signs of slight damage."
"The cut that I can see on his neck is clean. So clean, that only a diamond cutter can make this kind of cut."
"Oh, and basing from the striations that I can see on his wound, the decapitation of the Crimson God happened instantly."
"I can also see some signs of swelling on the arteries inside Crimson God's neck. That is an indication that there had been a massive fluid build-up here on his neck. The only reason that could happen is if all his blood passed through these arteries."
"That means that the Crimson God's blood and vitality was drained through his neck wound, specifically after his decapitation. As for how it was done, some kind of magic or technological method is enough to suck all those blood…" Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
Each words that Professor Frances had uttered sounded both professional and casual at the same time, exemplifying her expertise on what she was doing. The expression on her eyes also stayed the same even when guts was splashing on her, further solidifying her persona.
"Of course, of course, Professor Frances will be the one inspecting the Crimson God's corpse. After all, she seems to be the only one excited about this…." Alex thought wryly as he kept himself quiet. "Hm, is it the right decision to bring her here? Well, since the other Returners are not interested on stopping her, I guess I just have to let Professor Frances work…"
It was at this point that Professor Frances pulled out her hands, all filled with bright spots that clung on her skin. She shook them on a nearby water faucet, making the whole sink turn red.
Once she was done washing her hands, Professor Frances let out a loud sigh.
She then looked at the crowd of Returners in front of her, all who stared at her expectantly. They seem to be expecting her to say something important right now, a sentiment that Alex also shared.
Upon seeing this, Professor Frances gave a fleeting glance to Alex, who nodded back as if to confirm her unspoken question.
This response prompted another sigh from Professor Frances, although this time, she only went silent for a few more seconds before she began talking again.
"Ehem, so all in all, I have a few comments about the Crimson God. These comments might surprise you, so please keep a straight mind while listening to me." Professor Frances muttered. "So, the first thing that I realized here was that the Crimson God was killed way too easily. I mean, just look at the way that he was decapitated."
"If it was a normal person that was decapitated, the wound on that person's neck will be jagged, since beheading someone with a sharp weapon will face obstacles. There are muscles and bones insdie someone's neck, and if a sword passed through that, that sword is bound to deviate a little."
"In the case of Crimson God, since his bones and muscles are supposed to be extremely tough, his beheading wound should be jagged too. But from my observations, his beheading wound was so smooth!"
"What does that mean? That means that whoever decapitated the Crimson God was so powerful that his cutting weapon was able to ignore the toughness of the Crimson God's body!"
"…." Nobody from the Returners argued against what Professor Frances said, as they found her logic proper. Also, they were silent as they became worried by the implications of her words.
If what Professor Frances said was indeed right, then there is someone in this world who had managed to kill the Crimson God without any difficulty.
That is enough to worry anyone, as a person who can easily kill the Crimson God this way is surely frighteningly powerful!
"Hey Professor Frances, have you identified the weapon used against the Crimson God? Surely you have some observations about that…." As he tried his best to remain calm, Alex chose this moment to question Professor Frances. The question that he gave was of course intended to make her explain more. "So, did you see something?"
"Oh, I did not see anything that can tell me the weapon used on the Crimson God." The professor quickly answered. "There are just no traces of it."
"What? But-"
"A murderer who uses an object to kill someone will always leave traces of his/her weapon on the victim's body. A gun will leave gunpowder traces, while a sword will leave some particles of it on the victim's wound." Professor Frances intoned loudly, interrupting Alex's outburst. "In the case of the Crimson God, the weapon used on him should have left traces on his wound. But there are no traces of any weapons on his neck."
"No traces of weapons? That's weird." Behind Alex, the Great TimeMaster frowned, as if she found Professor Frances' words doubtful. "Are you absolutely sure that you saw nothing, Frances?"
"As I said, there's none." Professor Frances replied offhandedly. "If you doubt my words, Great TimeMaster, why don't you use your time shenanigans power to observe the Crimson God? Surely you will know the weapon used on him. Or better yet, use your power to view the past. That way, you can see who really killed the Crimson God."
After saying this, Professor Frances tilted her head a little as she regarded the Great TimeMaster with a curious look. "Wait… you can do that, right, Great TimeMaster?"
"I have tried that earlier, Frances, but it did not work." The Great TimeMaster retorted while shaking her head. "No matter what power I tried to use to see the past, something is preventing me to see how the Crimson God was killed. It's like there is some kind of power that does not permit me to see it, and its powerful enough to thwart all my attempts."
"!!!" Upon hearing what the Great TimeMaster said, all the Returners began to recoil as they realized the meaning behind her words.
If even the Great TimeMaster, the being closest to Transcendence, was prevented from viewing how the Crimson God was killed, then the killer must be someone whose manipulation of laws was even more advanced than the Great TimeMaster herself!
The Great TimeMaster was already this domineering, and it turns out that there's actually someone who's potentially more powerful than her?
Even Alex who was the Great TimeMaster's ally was not happy about learning this, as the fact that someone much more powerful than the Great TimeMaster exists is a bad news to everyone.
"T-that strong? Holy hell, if that's true, then the one who killed the Crimson God must be really powerful…." Alex thought with worry inside his mind. "Argh! Why did the Great TimeMaster just told this to us now? If she told this to us earlier, we could have prepared countermeasures!"
Right now, the tension in Alex's body has reached peak levels, as he now felt a little insecure of his surroundings.
Someone who can kill the Crimson God silently and be undetected by anyone is an enemy that can strike Alex anytime that it wanted to. All that it takes was for this enemy to take interest on Alex, and once that occurs, it could be game over for him.
After all, if even the powerful Crimson God was easily killed by this enemy, then Alex will also be in the same danger if he's targeted by the enemy!
"Tsk, I don't know why, but I am now regretting staying on this place. I feel like there's a trap waiting in here." With the words of Professor Frances and Great TimeMaster enlightening him, Alex had realized what he should do next.
Alex had to leave already, as there is a chance that a trap could be waiting for them here!
"Professor Frances and Queen Mother, come here with me. We're leaving already." Once he had made this decision, Alex did not hesitate to act upon it. He quickly grabbed the hands of Queen Mother and Professor Frances, both who were surprised with his sudden change.
"Alex, what are you-"
"Alex, what is this? Why are we-"
"I don't give a f**k about this place anymore. Since you have already autopsied the Crimson God, it's time for us to leave!" Like a man who is desperate to leave his unpaid order, Alex began pulling the two women with him as he hastened his steps.
All of Alex's movements appeared to be jerky and in rush, showing how much he wanted to leave.
"You can tell me all that you know about the Crimson God later, Professor Frances. But for now, it is time for us to leave." Alex did not wait to hear about the complaints of his two companions as he just tightened his grip on them.
"But-"
"But-"
"If you don't want to live anymore, then just stay here. As for me, I will really leave, since it's the safest option here." Alex added. "I mean, look at the other Returners. Even they are leaving already."
"Eh?"
True to Alex's words, the other Returners also showed signs of leaving, with the Great TimeMaster already gone from the room.
Only the Grandmaster stayed on his spot, with his dazed expression still not gone from his face.
"The other Returners already realized that this place is no good, hence they're leaving. Because of that, we're leaving too." With the actions shown by the Returners, Alex already obtained what he needed to convince his companions. "Come on, let's go."
"…."
Left with no choice but to follow him, Professor Frances and Queen Mother could only stay silent as they followed the departing Alex.
But before they could go through the door, an abrupt change had forced them to stop.
"Arghhhh!!!!" With a shout comparable to that of a tortured man, the previously silent Grandmaster let out a shout full of agony. Both of his eyes popped like they were about to fly out of his body, while countless veins bulged on his neck.
His face which was dazed earlier now held an agonized expression on it, as if he was experiencing the greatest pain the world.
"Argh... ah... argh!!!"
The Grandmaster looked like he was being tortured greatly right now, and he seem to have no way to stop it. The only action that he's doing was his clutching of his neck, something that did not help his situation.
"Argh!!!"
