Gacha Sovereign

After reaching an agreement, Alex and Lin Xingzhi returned to their army but stopped fighting. Alex decided to stay in the rear while looking at the sky under a tree.

"What are you thinking, Boss?"

Suddenly, a female voice resounded in his ears as a familiar feeling rose in his heart. He definitely heard this voice, but he didn't remember there was someone who actually called him boss.

Curious about the identity of this female, he turned around and found a blind young girl walking with a smile.

"!!!" Alex widened his eyes before shaking his head helplessly. "It turns out to be Aria."

"Ehehe, I have come to Eulja since a year ago, you know." Aria chuckled before bending her knees, sitting next to him. "I have overused my Sword Eyes a bit, so I'm back here to recover. Well, I have wanted to greet you since the beginning, but I know that my reputation is not enough to meet you, so I guess this is the only opportunity I have. To think that you are the Spirit God, I am speechless."

"…" Alex sighed. "That's what my past life's deed. I'm going to make my own reputation after this and will absolutely shadow my past life."

"I love your ambition."

"So, how are you doing with your current position? You are Anya's assistant, right?"

"Yes." Aria nodded with a weird smile. "Well, I've learned a lot, including the weird thing…"

"Weird thing?" Alex's stuttered as he felt something wrong with that "weird thing".

"Ehm. I think you don't need to know." Aria shook her head with a smile.

"I see. Perverted things then." Alex nodded in understanding.

"You know your wife well." Aria chuckled. "She kept teaching me all the ways to seduce your boss or whatever that is. Well, my boss is currently her, so should I seduce her? By the way, you are the big boss."

Alex let out a long sigh. "Just ignore her."

"I understand. I will tell her that you have given me permission to ignore her." Aria repeatedly nodded with a smile. "But I do say that Miss Anya has unique thinking. Although her style is not the same as you, I can see that she is really a master in terms of controlling things from the shadow."

"Yeah. Just make sure you don't eat an aphrodisiac from her." Alex smiled.

"Do you—" Aria realized something and coughed once before correcting her words. "I guess that can happen."

Alex shrugged. "Anyway, I'm sure you have already known that our situation is not in the best position, right?"

"Yes, I know. However, I don't have the intention to run away. You know…I have been thinking this until now. Back when you saved me from that rapist, I thought to myself… If he truly raped me, even if I could kill him in the end, would I stay the same? Would I be able to love others or even my own family?

"When you were gone, I realized that every experience would shape me and change my character one way or another. Hence, I knew that it was impossible to stay the same after being raped. In fact, I might have become a vengeful person whose only purpose was to destroy my enemies.

"That's why… I have wanted to say this to you." Aria lowered her head and bent her body until her forehead touched the ground. "Thank you for granting this path for me. This is the best thing I would ever have in my entire life."

Alex looked at her and made a gentle smile. He stretched his hand and patted her head. "Thank you. That means a lot to me."

"I will do my best to become another strategist of Eulja."

"Yeah, do your best. This is the perfect time for you to learn because Eulja has been passive for the past five thousand years. Make sure you learn everything." Alex nodded.

Not knowing why, Alex understood that he needed to act first before thinking about the future since it didn't really matter at this point.

After regaining his calm, he suddenly asked Lin Xingzhi about the Void Flower.

"Eh? Are you sure?" Lin Xingzhi tilted her head.

"Yeah. It will probably take half a year for me, but this half a year will smoothen my journey. I mean, I need a huge amount of Spiritual Energy to complete just a single test, so if I refine the Void Flower right now, I can train twice as much." Alex nodded with a serious expression.

"Oh…" Lin Xingzhi thought for a moment and agreed with his plan. "I understand. I haven't harvested the flower. It's in my room, you see. Do you want to go back or finish this war first?"

"I will wait for now. It's not like this war is going for too long." Alex shrugged.

"That's good. I will also go to the battlefield right now to speed up the process. Do you want to go with me?"

"Sure." Alex nodded with a smile as he rose to the sky before disappearing and sending a thought transmission to Aria. "I'm going."

Lin Xingzhi followed right behind him as they began to storm all battlefields they ever found. Lin Xingzhi's might didn't need to be questioned again as she completely annihilated the enemies without mercy.

Even the people cheered for her and him whenever they went to a new battlefield. Due to their constant effort, they managed to beat their own prediction.

Alex first thought that the subjugation required three whole days, but they managed to accomplish it within two full days, so it was enough for them to cheer for their win.

After that, Alex had a joint banquet with the other three God Kings while their subjects had their own separate party. They seemed to have a trust issue. After all, the God Kings could easily get along with each other because of their number.

However, with more than a hundred thousand people here, it was easy to get information, thus the ban for their interaction.

After that whole party, Alex returned to the camp and found so many people crying while hugging their lovers, their friends, or their rivals.

Alex knew that this was inevitable, so he halted his footsteps right before his tent and bowed to those who had fallen along the way.

Lin Xingzhi also cupped her hands and politely lowered her head, sending the spirits with respect.

At the very least, the spirits could send their acquaintances with a smile. After bowing enough, Alex turned around and entered the tent with Lin Xingzhi.

"Give me the status report," Alex asked.

"We have 10,671 deaths, 5,781 heavily injured, and 20,218 light injured. Other than the deaths, I think we can safely assume that they are safe and sound." Lin Xingzhi nodded. "We will give them pills to treat their injuries. Luckily, Eulja has never gone to war this whole time, so our stock has increased so much that we can spend as much as we need. Five thousand years of waiting has started showing its effect." Lin Xingzhi smiled.

"I'm glad." Alex nodded with a solemn expression. "Treat the deaths with care too."

"Don't worry. This is not an individual fight but a war. We will obviously take care of everything." Lin Xingzhi assured him with a calm face.

"That's right. How about the whole situation? How many people on the other sides died?"

"In total, we have around forty thousand casualties. As expected, the snake poison is too powerful for us. In the past, there are millions of God Rank Experts who died daily, so I know that this is the best result we can hope for."

Lin Xingzhi recalled that nightmare where wars happened from one place to another, causing millions of deaths every day. Their side had a lower chance to protect the universe, but they didn't give up and throw their lives just to protect it.

Even the past Alex was grateful for their sacrifices.

Alex looked at her expression before nodding with closed eyes. "Anyway, do you have any other report?"

"Ehm…" Lin Xingzhi contemplated for five minutes, checking everything that needed to be confirmed before saying, "No. We have dealt with everything, including those annoying God Kings."

"I guess everything is over." Alex smiled.

"Yeah. We can go home now." Lin Xingzhi nodded with a relieved expression. "With this, we don't need one of the dangers because I can be sure that this is the only snake left."

"I agree with you. I am not entirely sure, but I have a theory. According to my observation, they can only influence one person for the rest of their lives. I don't know, this is only a speculation." Alex thought for a moment. "In any case, everything will be revealed when the Holy God returns."

"Indeed. You also need to return to that inheritance palace, no? Just remember that you only have three years before the first tournament starts. In that case, you need to attend that tournament for future generations."

"That's right. I haven't thought about it." Alex closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening his mouth. "This is going to be a fighting competition. Every spirit can participate, but I guess it's only for the humanoid one.

"I don't need something complicated. Just use battle royale to chip down their number and fight one on one after that. As long as they don't kill or cripple someone, I won't say anything. However, I would like to add one more rule.

"Everyone who participates in the second stage of the competition will need to seal their cultivation to match their opponent's cultivation. Also, no True Spirit Body, okay?" Alex smiled.

"Hmm?" Lin Xingzhi frowned and tilted her head in confusion. This was a new rule that she never saw before. Even in all competitions, Alex had experienced, there was no record of this ridiculous rule. This rule was meant to restrict talented people.

Before Lin Xingzhi comprehended the real meaning behind Alex's rule, he had stood up and smiled. "Let's go home, shall we?"
