Gacha Sovereign

Three years later.

Alex slowly opened his eyes after cultivating for a long time. He looked at his body and checked his cultivation.

"Hmm? There is no problem with my cultivation after breaking through to 8-Star two weeks ago. I truly barely reached this stage…" Alex let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, he sensed Anya's presence coming from outside the room. It seemed she noticed that the time for him to wake up had arrived and decided to see him.

"You can come in, Anya," Alex called her and smiled.

The door slowly got pushed open, revealing a woman's figure.

"Everyone is ready to go to the tower. Tomorrow is the day, so we can make some preparations for tomorrow." Anya handed him a few papers.

Alex nodded and took the papers. "What is our condition?"

"Rose has reached 10-Star Martial Monarch. Letizia became a 3-Star Martial Saint not long ago. And the rest except the spirits have reached 8-Star Martial Saints. Leoz, Anna, and Jeanne are the only ones who have advanced to 10-Star while the spirits reached 9-Star long ago. Do you want to have those three to fight outside the tower?"

"Hmm…" Alex looked down, pondering. "Leoz and Jeanne are essential to this fight because they need to watch over the rest of the group… But I believe we can station someone from the N squad outside, so the others can teleport. What do you think?"

"That's a good idea. We can have Nicole to do that." Anya nodded.

"Let's go then. We have prepared everything we can. The only thing to do is to kill those monsters." Alex paused for a moment. "How about the monsters? How many 10-Star Martial Saint monsters have gotten inside this world?"

"There are a total of thirty 10-Star. It's going to be a hard fight because the fight is going to be bigger than ever. If possible, I want the spirits all to reach 10-Star Martial Saints while cleaning those monsters. At that time, we will hide until Firia and I ascend. I don't think Sherry and the others need to pass the tribulation, no?"

"Yes. They will only need to have a long hibernation to become a Divine Beast." Anya nodded.

"I am envious." Alex chuckled.

"Don't mind them. I know that you can reach God Rank easily even with the tribulation. I am sure that the Divine Tribulation will have the same difficulty as your Martial Saint's Lightning Tribulation… Easy." Anya smirked.

"Thank you. Anyway, let's get going. The monsters might haven't attacked us, but they might be building up their strength to attack the tower."

She nodded and guided him to the meeting room. It seemed everyone also had finished their cultivation as they were already present before Alex came to this room.

"It's been a while since our last meeting due to my cultivation, but this is the day where our counter-attack begins." Alex smiled.

"Still, who is going to follow you and who are staying behind?"

"All of you are going to follow me, especially Letizia and Rose. They both have a good improvement during these three years, so I expect a great thing from both of you."

"Yes, Master." The two clasped their hands and bowed.

"As for the rest, we are going for the same distribution that we have agreed before." Alex nodded before snapping his finger and creating a Teleportation Array. "In that case, let's go."

The group disappeared from the base and made their appearance in the middle of the grass plain, not far from the battlefield. In fact, they could already see the other influences, including their battle from here, so they decided to fly.

Anna furrowed her eyebrows and informed Alex as soon as he recognized which camp in front of them. "Alex, they are from the Divine Kingdom."

"Good. We can ask where Elizabeth is and meet up with the others." Alex nodded and sped up, only to find himself stopped by a few people.

"Who are…" However, Alex wasn't a small name again like in the past. Instead, his name and face had been etched forever in their memory. Hearing his name was like thunder reverberating in one's ears. "We apologize. Sir Alexander Sirius, I am the captain of the Royal Guard, Abraham. May I ask for what reason your excellency to come here?"

"I just arrived, and this place was the closest, so I decided to go here to meet with your queen."

"If that is the case, her majesty is inside. She is holding a meeting right now, but I am sure she will have the time to meet you. If your…"

"That is enough. I will just wait here. You can inform her since it's better for me to not intrude on your meeting."

"I… I understand." The captain nodded. As much as Alex said to not intrude the meeting, he felt asking their queen to come to meet him was ruder. And yet, only him could be qualified to ask such a thing, so he immediately flew to the queen's camp.

Not long after, Elizabeth came out alone, looking at Alex with a serious expression. "We have just gotten bad news and good news. Which one do you want to know first?"

"Good news."

"Everything is ready, including the tunnel. As long as you make a hole and use your Spatial Gate, I believe we can enter the Ancient Battlefield."

"And the bad news?"

"The Space Element is too thick there because the portal keeps influencing it. Hence, the barrier is harder to break. I am not sure whether you can break it… I have confirmed it with the Freedom Sect's Space Temple, so I am sure about it."

Alex thought for a moment. "I will check the barrier after this. And see whether the Space Disturbance has become too much for me along with how much Space Element needed to make a hole there. If it's impossible to break, we will wait until the tower lifts the power according to the original plan."

"What if they don't open it?"

"The time is tomorrow. If they don't open it, I will break it open. Besides…" Alex glanced at Nelson.

"Yeah. As Master feared, the monsters are also digging a few tunnels. The same as us, they are trying to break the barrier and enter that place." Nelson confirmed with a grim expression.

"What? Are they digging a few tunnels? Where?" Elizabeth was shocked. They didn't get information like that despite watching them closely, so how could Alex get such information?

"Have you seen a few giant monsters that don't move for a few months?"

"Yes. There are a few of them like that. I have even seen them when going to the front line… Wait! Don't tell me." She gasped and stepped back. Her face turned pale as she came into a realization.

"Yeah. They have a few monsters going under those monsters and create tunnels. Then those monsters hide the entrance. In fact, I believe they already have a small monster city underground." Alex nodded.

"What? A small monster city? How did we not notice this? Why didn't you tell us?" Are you sure you are not making it up?"

"You can check it later, but even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to do anything. Not only will you charge deep in their ranks, but you also need to face more than a million monsters. Besides, even with force from the Sacred and Northern Continents, our number is only a million while they have at least three million. If your opponent size is two times above you, it has become too hard to specifically find some of them are missing." Alex smiled. This information came from the papers Anya gave earlier.

"…" Sweats started covering her face, knowing how big this matter they currently faced. She gulped down and asked, "What should I do?"

"Nothing. Just make sure that all the soldiers here move according to our schedule and thoroughly exterminate our enemies. As for what will happen… We might probably need to race with the monsters if I can't open the barrier today."

Elizabeth paused for a moment and nodded. "I understand. I shall inform the other leaders about our condition right now."

"Please. And I also need to go to our own tunnel right now to check it."

"Then should I call them, so we can have a meeting there?"

"Good idea. Ask them to go to the tunnel after this and meet me." Alex nodded.

"Want me to guide you to the tunnel?"

"It's fine. The tunnel is in this camp, right?"

"Yes. It's there." Elizabeth pointed her finger toward a huge 15-meter radius hole.

"Then, please excuse me." Alex nodded and flew toward the hole, followed by the rest of his group.

The tunnel seemed to have been decorated a bit. And Lamps were scattered across the tunnel, illuminating the darkness.

Alex walked straight and found the barrier a few minutes later. However, he noticed that the Space Element in the air kept increasing.

"Hmm?" He immediately furrowed his eyebrows the moment he saw the barrier. His Spirit Eyes spectated the clash between this Space Element that caused a Space Disturbance with the barrier. It was trying to destroy the barrier, so he realized this was going to be tricky.

"Alex… Have you found anything?" Anna asked, seeing Alex halting his footsteps.

"The monsters are using the Space Disturbance… No, I should say they are controlling it to attack the barrier. This might be the reason why those people closed the barrier tight." Alex squinted his eyes, contemplating over their next course.

"Is it possible to break it and go through?"

Alex didn't answer her for several minutes until the rest of the leaders arrived.

They stumbled upon the troubled look on Alex's face and glanced at the spirits, wanting an explanation.

Suddenly, Alex turned around, facing all of them with a solemn expression. "It's impossible. If I am using my Space Element, the monsters will notice it. I am afraid they will attack us relentlessly at that time."

"How are we supposed to do this then?" Elizabeth asked.

"The second one. We will wait until they open it from the inside. Then we shall race with the monsters with our Spatial Gate. I am sure that those people inside are planning to cause a Space Disturbance inside, so not many monsters can come with the help of Space Beasts. At that time, it will be a full brawl."

"What will be our distance with the monsters if they are coming?"

"If I am not wrong, it should be half of the distance then our frontline to the portal."

"It's going to be rough, but still doable. Although it will come with a great cost, one week is the limit, I guess."

"Yeah. We will make a counter-attack during that time." Alex nodded with a solemn expression as if he was planning to kill many monsters at that time. "Alright. Let's return first, so the monsters don't find us."

The group nodded as they returned together, preparing their respective forces.

…

The next day. Each influence had brought their own force right in front of the tunnel. Each leader was in front of them, accompanied by their respective younger generations.

When they saw Alexander coming to the tunnel, they greeted him with a smile. "This is the day…"

"Yeah." Alex nodded. "My Spirit Nest will take the front spot. Will that be alright?"

"Of course." Song Hun nodded. "We will follow the order of you negotiating with us in the past. In other words, the Freedom Sect will be right behind you, followed by Blackwade Clan, Phantasm Sect, Ancient Blue Family, Divine Kingdom, and Drunken Pavilion. The size of the tunnel is not that big anyway… So, we need around five minutes for all the people to come in."

"Yes. There will be two Spatial Gates inside. First will be my Spatial Gate that will connect the tunnel to the Ancient Battlefield. And the second one will be a Spatial Gate connected to the pillar, so I want to ask you… Are you ready?" Alex smiled.

They didn't know why, but seeing the confidence in Alex's smile made them smile as if they knew they would win. This might also be how Alex maintained his people's morale despite the disadvantage.

"Yes."

"March!"
