Gacha Sovereign

Three days later, Alex was about to go toward Korzan's office to grab the report about the war report.

"Your Majesty." Korzan couldn't greet him on his knees, so he only stood up and bowed politely. "I have prepared the report."

"Thank you. How is your condition?"

"Almost all my internal injuries have been healed. I think I can fight like a few days ago in a week or so." He nodded with a smile, showing Alex he was alright.

"That's good to hear."

Korzan then picked up a document he had prepared and checked to see if he missed something.

When he was about to hand the document to Alex, someone slammed the door and rushed inside. "Emergency. There is an intruder in front of the castle."

"Who is it?" Korzan furrowed his eyebrows, never expecting to hear such a thing while Alex was still here.

"That… I believe Sir needs to see it yourself. Queen Lin Xingzhi also requires your presence and His Maj—" Before he finished, he saw Alex's figure and prostrated.

"Good work." Alex snapped his finger without hesitation, teleporting both of them to the outside, finding a man in his late twenties, kneeling on the ground. His purple hair looked messy as if a portion of it was burned.

At the same time, he had lost his right arm. There was so much blood on the ground that came not only from that ripped hand but also from the wounds all over his body.

"Xingzhi?" Alex shouted and came to her before recognizing the person on the ground. "You… You are the God of Wrath."

Hearing that voice, the God of Wrath suddenly lowered his head and hit the ground until he made a small crater. "Spirit God, no, Master, please… I don't care if I need to become your slave… Please help me. I-I…"

Alex was bewildered by this plea, considering he wanted to kill this guy. He looked at Lin Xingzhi, who happened to be clueless as well.

"His power is too weak. There are signs of fighting, so I guess something must have happened."

Alex thought for a moment before sensing someone on their left.

"Alex… No, Spirit God… Please listen to his story first."

"Alaya?" Alex widened his eyes, never expecting Alaya to come out.

"I felt it three days ago that someone altered my fate. Although I could resist it, I decided to see it through first. And that fate pointed at this guy." Alaya explained with a serious expression.

Seeing that Alaya also came to the picture, he sighed and opened his mouth. "Alright. I am listening."

"Th-thank you." The God of Wrath greeted his teeth. His eyes couldn't contain his tears. Before he started, he decided to follow the resolve he had gathered earlier. "I, Marcus Xavar, swear my unending loyalty to my master, Alexander Sirius. May the world and the universe be my witness."

"!!!" All the people around drew a gasp as if they couldn't believe what they just heard. This showed two things to Alex.

The God of Wrath wanted to tell him that everything he said here would be the truth because what he swore earlier was the Universe Oath for Full Loyalty. In other words, he was like Zark.

At the same time, it also gave Alex an understanding of the size of the problem he was about to hear.

"Even if you do this, there is no possibility of me agreeing to your request, you know." Alex narrowed his eyes and released his killing intent. This Full Loyalty Oath was truly rushed, so there was no way Alex could just say, "Okay, you are one of us now."

"I understand. I don't care what you want to do with me next, but this Slave begs Master to listen to my story first."

Alex sighed and nodded. "Alright. I'm listening."

"It happened three days ago after returning from the battle against you. At that time, everything had been revealed. It turned out that the Earth God is a bear, hiding under the shadow of its brother, the Metal God.

"According to them, they can turn someone into their pet. The Battle God is the Earth God's pet. However, it seems they have something deeper because they haven't launched everything. I'm assuming they have a greater plan for this."

"!!!" Alex was shocked before he narrowed his eyes. "They are trying to grasp our strength? In that case, we need to speed up our progress. The next battle must be the biggest one we will ever face."

"Indeed." Lin Xingzhi nodded and looked at Alaya.

"I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do. My wounds can't be healed by any Medicinal Herbs or doctor. And my cultivation won't be restored even if I consume pills." Alaya shook her head helplessly.

"In that case, this is going to be hard." Lin Xingzhi let out a long sigh and turned to Alex. "What do you think?"

Alex stared at the God of Wrath and said, "Continue."

"Yes. The Earth God wanted to expand and used that power to strengthen us, but I, Marcus, assure you that I would rather die than betray this universe. At the same time, when I was about to leave the room, I saw Dragon God and Phoenix Goddess come into the room.

"They turned out to be the Phoenix and Dragon. Although I didn't understand the whole concept, the Phoenix Goddess also had a pet. And they told us that the Birdie and Bats were not ready yet."

Alex closed his eyes and explained the missing piece, so Marcus could explain it a bit better. "The beast that caused that era had six weapons coming from his body. It was in the form of a parasite that could turn someone into "weapons".

"There were six weapons: Dragon, Phoenix, Angel, Bats, Bear, and Snake. They were the ones who killed the previous generation of God Kings."

Hearing his explanation, Marcus nodded and continued. "From the way they talked, it seemed there was one Snake, two Bears, one Angel, multiple Bats, one Phoenix, and one Dragon. However, only the Dragon seemed to have no pet."

"Nine, huh…" Alex contemplated. "We have killed one Bear and the Snake. The other Bear is the Earth God with his pet, the Battle God. Phoenix Goddess and Dragon God are our targets, but with you being here, they will know that we have known their identities.

"Unfortunately, even if we revealed such a thing, no one would believe us, much less coming from me. After all, they will realize that this is just information manipulation to weaken their strength. In that case, the only way to destroy them is a direct confrontation.

"However, they have seven God Kings if I don't count on the Bats. This is already enough to suppress us." Alex narrowed his eyes. "So, it's not possible to attack them right now."

Suddenly, Marcus opened his mouth. "Goddess of Destiny… Felt regret that she had chosen the wrong side and sacrificed her life to alter a few people's fate by using her own life force, including mine. That helped me escape.

"But… But…" Marcus gritted his teeth and struck the ground with his hand, clenching his fists until it bled. However, he seemed to be suffering more pain than what the ground could offer. In his eyes, there were sadness, regret, and anger. "They killed every single person in my and Goddess of Destiny's territories.

"No one is spared. That's why… Please… I don't care if I need to be your slave… I don't care about my future. Please let me have my revenge against them." Marcus prostrated.

Alex narrowed his eyes and fell silent.

Lin Xingzhi and the others were waiting for his answer.

Alaya seemed to have no more patience as she remembered what she felt and walked toward him. She sent a thought transmission with a serious expression.

"You serious?" Alex asked with a surprised expression.

"Yes."

Alex contemplated for a moment before opening his system.

"Alex?" Seeing the system, Lin Xingzhi obviously could see it. She wondered what kind of magic words Alaya told him to show this effect.

Alex ignored her and talked to the system. "Calculate the amount of Spirit Crystals to level up Leoz to Rank 2 God."

"Wait, wait, wait. Let me go back first." Lin Xingzhi tried to stop him before going inside the castle.

It took her seconds before she operated the system again.

[330,580,345,190 Spirit Crystals.]

'Three hundred billion, huh. How about Rank 1 God?'

[793,465,187,123 Spirit Crystals.]

"Doubled…" Alex scratched the back of his head and sighed. Since he stored all the Spirit Crystals from Encore and the Dungeon God, he had around 1.3 Trillion Spirit Crystals which seemed to be not enough to level up two people to God Kings.

Although he could still ask for money from Eulja's treasury and Blackwade Clan, he didn't want to get those two involved first. Hence, he agreed to Alaya's suggestion. "Increase Leoz's cultivation to Rank 2 God."

[Confirming your request.]

"Yes. Increase it."

[Processing.]

[Complete.]

Alex then took out Leoz's card and summoned him here.

"Master?" Leoz tilted his head in confusion. However, everyone could feel that he was a Rank 2 God.

Alex didn't answer Leoz and looked at Alaya. "I agree."

"Thank you." Alaya lowered her head before walking to the God of Wrath. "You brat. I will only ask you this once. Do you want to have your revenge?"

"Yes," Marcus answered without hesitation.

"I have gotten permission from him. You are going to follow me. I'm going to turn you to a proper God King that can rival the past God Kings since you have become his slave." Alaya nodded.

"I don't care about my pride anymore as it was crushed a few days ago. As long as I can get my revenge, I will do anything." Marcus thanked Alex and Alaya.

"Good. I also want you to follow me, Leoz. I'm sure you know me, right?" Alaya smiled.

Leoz nodded. "Life and Death Goddess."

"Because there will be too much burden for him to handle, I will be training you to reach God King. It seems that you are close to that level already. What do you think?" She smiled.

Leoz hesitated and turned to Alex.

Alex only nodded his head as this was the reason he leveled him up and called him here.

"I understand. I will do my best."

"Good."

Lin Xingzhi had returned and looked at Alex, asking. "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes. I will take responsibility for it." Alex nodded and turned to Alaya. "I agree to this because it's you."

Alaya smiled. "Thank you."

"I think we have settled the problem here." Alex sighed and added one more thing to Marcus. "I will be watching you, alright?"

"Yes, Master." Marcus nodded with a serious expression. However, his eyes were filled with anger toward those people who had razed his entire territory to the ground. They were even worse than Alex because they planned to destroy this entire universe while Alex only killed those who offended him.

Alex then signaled Alaya to end the conversation.

Alaya nodded and turned around. "Alright. Let's go boys. I will be personally teaching you."

"What did she say to you, Alex?" Lin Xingzhi furrowed her eyebrows.

"She promised me to train the God of Wrath until he reached the same level as the previous generation's God Kings to help us in the next battle. He seemed to be in the same condition as God of Destruction. That's why.

"As for Leoz, he had a similarity to the God of Wrath, so training with him might boost his potential. This way, I don't need to spend three hundred billion Spirit Crystals to level him up to God King." Alex smiled.

Lin Xingzhi sighed and nodded in agreement. "Fine. Since you have agreed to it, I won't say anything more."

Alex then turned around and patted Korzan's shoulder. "Let's go back. We need to see the report."

"Yeah." Korzan nodded.

"That's right. Please tell Firia and Sullivan that we are going tomorrow."

"Sure thing."

After settling the problem, the trio finally returned to the castle with a relieved expression.
