Chapter 737 - Information
After calming the others down for a few minutes, Alex suddenly came to a realization.
'Wait a minute. From the Supreme, Kyle, and this one, did my previous self actually have a connection with this world?'
[He sometimes wandered alone, so this world must be one of those that he helped on a whim.]
'I see. Considering everything has been going smoothly, I don't have any complaints about it. It truly helped me from time to time, like how Stina became my ally and such to how we didn't need to fight against many Gods and Goddesses.' Alex let out a sigh of relief.
[Well, I need to do a few things, so I won't be able to help you for the time being. Want me to call Alicia for you?]
'She must be training right now, so I don't want to bother her. I will be fine in this tower, and I don't think I will need much help for now, except with the Gacha later, but that can wait.'
After finishing the matter with his system, he then stood up, looking at his spirits. "Anyway, I am who I am. I won't impersonate someone even if that someone is my previous self. I just want all of you to know it, and if you are fine with it, please continue to support me."
All spirits dropped on their knees, cupped their hands politely and shouted in unison. "We will follow Master to death."
Firia took a few minutes to process everything, but she couldn't contain her smile any longer after seeing the unquestionable loyalty that his spirits have. She remembered how Anna and Anya reacted to the previous Alex and knew that these people supported him because it was him, not anyone else or because of his title. Even if the Spirits from Eulja didn't acknowledge him, these ten people here would still follow him.
Alex then took a deep breath and asked. "Now that we have finished our business, I am going to activate the array. Since no one is outside right now, how about following me? I think those people won't mind."
Anna and Anya looked at each other, nodding in agreement. "We understand. It's better to finish this as soon as possible and join the battle again. We only need a few ten thousand more to gain another level. And with your Gacha Ticket, all of us should reach 3-Star Martial Saint. If we are lucky, we might even reach 4-Star Martial Saint."
"Yes." Alex nodded in agreement as he looked down with his Spirit Eyes, finding the huge array that covered the tower. He couldn't see this array before because it was covered with the maze. Even when he entered the tunnel, he was too busy handling his Lightning Tribulation. Now that he had prepared everything, he channeled his Spiritual Energy as the floor started glowing.
"Teleportation."
The array engulfed everyone in the tower with light, sending them to the floor above the ceiling.
Alex gradually opened his eyes from the blinding light and noticed that they arrived in a black room covered with bricks. Brick floor, brick wall, and brick ceiling. There wasn't a single decoration in the room, so Alex didn't need to pay a single detail to his surroundings.
Just like how they promised to leave first, the God Rank Experts left one of their friends inside the room, and it turned out that he was the one in charge of Space Element. He looked at this purple-haired man and nodded.
"Welcome to our humble palace. My name is Shakdi, a Rank 5 God." The purple-haired man introduced himself.
Knowing that he was still clueless about God Rank Expert, he searched around his memory about all the things related to God Stage.
'God Stage or Martial God Stage is the same as Martial Saint Stage or the other stages below. There are only some slight differences between them. First, God Stage Experts don't call themselves a 1-Star God Stage. Instead, they use rank, starting from rank 10 as the lowest.
'Just like the 10-Star Martial Saint, Rank 1 God, the peak of God Stage Expert, is often called as a God King.
'At the same time, God Stage is a realm where they finally transcend their mortal body and build their divine body. This body won't age and will follow the mortal body's current appearance when they finish their Divine Tribulation.
'Nonetheless, there is nothing much that can differentiate the God Stage from other stages, excluding the fact that everything about you is Divine. Just like a soul becomes a divine soul, and so on… I can search for more information later.'
After recollecting the information in his mind, Alex then looked at Shakdi and greeted him back. "Nice to meet you. I am Alexander Sirius."
Because of the previous action, Alex stayed as humble as possible but didn't lower themselves as a junior. Instead, he acted as an equal business partner.
"As much as we want to greet you, it seems we have created a misunderstanding earlier, and I apologize for that."
"It's fine. It is also our fault to arrive at that conclusion. Anyway, should we get to business? If possible, I would like to finish everything as soon as possible."
"I understand." Shakdi nodded and stretched his hand, asking Alex to follow him. "This way. I will explain everything in that place to make it easier."
Alex nodded and followed him together with his group.
"As you might already know, our world once got invaded by many powerful beings, including many gods. That place was filled with God Stage Beasts and mostly filled with monsters, causing no one born in that place other than monsters.
"Just like how this world connected with a few other worlds, we somehow got connected with that world as well, resulting in a great invasion. A few million monsters were coming to us, and which five hundred thousand of them were Martial Saints.
"We tried our best to maintain the order and fought back. Unfortunately, their number and strength were too high, causing our strength to decrease at a certain period. In the end, we decided to seal our world to prevent these monsters from coming, especially their God Stage monsters.
"Fortunately, we met the Spirit God and had his help in severing the connection and sealing our world. Of course, the price was also high for this. Around one hundred God Rank Experts back then, including us, sacrificed their lives to seal the world.
"Twenty of us here were picked by the majority to watch over the seal inside this tower and guide the future children. Yeah. Spirit God granted us this opportunity as well since we would also not be here if he didn't help us.
"As you might already know, the Spirit God had six… No, seven elements from fire to elementless. However, there was one that didn't fall under the category, the most unique monster in the universe, a Space Monster.
"For this, the Spirit God decided to make a separate seal for them. As for why we had something like this. After severing the connection back then, there were still too many monsters roaming around the world, and this created the seal.
"To prevent it even further, the Spirit God decided to seal them in Underground Place like this, so when they succeeded in breaking through the tower, they wouldn't know that they were inside a cave." Shakdi let out a long sigh.
"Hmm… I get the gist of it." Alex nodded and fell into deep thought.
"There is one thing that I almost forgot to mention. We lost not because of our number and strength alone. There was another reason for how monsters could rule the entire world. It was the fact that they had parent monsters.
"They controlled every single monster with a single roar, giving us trouble from time to time. You can say that they were the leaders. And the original seven had a connection between each of them as they could send a signal to each other and acted together.
"That's why I would like if there is a future where seven geniuses come here and obliterate them at the same time, so the other monsters couldn't rampage and destroy the seal inside the tower. Unfortunately, the opportunity had yet to arrive." Shakdi paused for a moment.
"Judging from your tone, do you want me to do something about it?"
"To be blunt. Yes. As I said before, the Space Monsters are not connected with the other seven monsters. That's why we can kill them right now." Shakdi admitted without hesitation.
"Seeing how long you have been waiting, why don't you ask someone in the past?"
"We tried to ask geniuses in the past, but not a single of them succeeded." Shakdi shook his head in disappointment. Every time a peerless genius appeared, they would fall in battle against the Space Monsters. "They are simply not strong enough. I don't know if you have encountered a Space Monster or not, but I could say that the Space Monsters are far stronger than normal monsters."
"I have fought them once inside an illusion. And I can confirm what you say." Alex confirmed along with a nod.
"There are fifty thousand monsters inside the Space Realm roaming around there with a single leader, a 3-Star Martial Saint. Luckily, their strength has been decreasing because of getting trapped for a long time. However, this one should still be able to fight a 5-Star Martial Saint easily." Shakdi warned, glancing upon Leoz.
"Don't worry. If it's only that strong, we should be fine. The problem is how we will fight the rest. They are still fifty thousand monsters, and killing them will take time. Is there any terrain, or is it just a plain blue-colored realm?" Alex asked.
"I will show the realm itself for you later together with the other realms." Shakdi nodded.
"Sure. I can get more pictures of it."
"That's right. How long will this take, and what kind of reward will I get? You don't expect me to work for free, right?"
"Of course. I will offer you my knowledge and understanding of the Space Element. I don't know if you have realized it or not, but your Space Element is different from a normal Space Element. However, I can't say much about it due to my lack of understanding. I don't want to mislead you anyway, so I can't talk more than this. Meanwhile, my knowledge is full of basic understandings, so you can work your way with that knowledge."
"It's enough for me. Space Element is my worst subject, so this reward is tempting for me." Alex nodded.
"I offer this deal because I know that you are going to enter with fourteen friends, including the three presences inside your body. Together with your innate strength, I can say that your chance of killing the Space Monster is the highest." Shakdi nodded. "As for how long it will take, it will purely depend on you."
"I understand." Alex nodded.
"By the way, I would like to inquire something from you if you don't mind."
"Sure. Just ask me."
"How do you know the Space Monster? They are very rare that not many know. Even on the surface, they only know about invisible monsters, instead of space monsters." At first, he thought it was due to the knowledge of Spirit God. But everything changed after looking at how clueless Alex was, so he couldn't help but ask.
Alex thought for a moment and answered with another question. "Do you know about the Freedom Sect?"
"No." How could he know? There was no one know about it on the surface, so no one actually gave him the information about them.
"I learned their existences there. They used to live on the surface before the great purge of Space Element users."
"Ah! That accident. Now that I think about it, someone once told me that there were survivors among the Space Element Masters, but they didn't know where they disappeared. Calculating the amount of time and other things, I believed the first people who joined that sect must have fought against the Space Monsters alongside us." Shakdi nodded.
"I have the same thought."
"Anyway, we have arrived."
