Gacha Sovereign

*Roar!*

The lightning dragon descended the sky with its mighty roar.

Alex waved his hands and summoned a huge fire phoenix alongside a hundred Fire Swords coated with Absolute Blade Intent.

*Cry!*

The phoenix let out a loud cry before following the swords, striking the lightning from head-on.

*Boom Boom Boom!*

The loud explosions filled the island, but Alex's focus was somewhere else. The first petal of the lotus suddenly bloomed.

And yet, the explosions didn't stop only to hit it. The residual fire scorched the entire lightning, chipping its energy away bit by bit.

His Spirit Eyes were telling him that the dragon's head was pushed back a bit, but the flow of the Spiritual Energy into that dragon looked weird. The head should have flowed differently, but this time the Spiritual Energy flowed like it was on its body.

The doubt quickly got answered when the Spiritual Energy underwent some changes, creating a new head.

"I see…" Alex narrowed his eyes. "I have blown away the head, leaving only its body. If the dragon has flown a few hundred meters, I can make it reset by burning or blasting its head and entire body. This way, I can restart it all over again while making the lotus bloom."

"Still, there is another saying that I can't use the same technique twice because it will be less effective." Alex thought for a second and took a deep breath. "I will do everything in order. Since I know the lightning dragon wants to hit me, I don't need to be careful and release all my attacks."

Alex nodded and leaped to the sky, striking his sword on the dragon's head.

"Ignition Break!"

*Boom!*

He might have stopped using this move for a long time, but it was indeed one of his Heaven Tier Techniques. He didn't hesitate in using this and glanced at the lotus, finding another petal bloom.

"Well, the more the petal is, the harder to make it bloom… I should use a low level technique first to use it."

Alex narrowed his eyes and found that the dragon had recovered.

"Phantom Thrust!" He thrust his spear to the incoming dragon and pierced through the dragon, blowing the head as if it burst like a balloon.

Alex glanced at the lotus and found out that it was not enough to bloom it, so he added his sword in the mix. "Blade of Conquest."

A Sword Wave flew toward the dragon, pushing the lightning blade even further. And finally, the third petal bloomed.

Alex nodded and looked at his weapons, wondering what he should do next. However, he suddenly had a crazy doubt in his mind. "I have used Blade of Conquest with my Sword, but can I try another one with my spear? Will that be counted as a new one or the same one?"

After thinking for three seconds, he decided to test it again. He swung his spear, sending a Sword Wave toward the Lightning, but the disappointment was the only one coming.

At first, it managed to blow away the lightning for a few meters, but this time, it only lasted for a meter. He realized that the world didn't allow him to repeat himself.

"In that case…" Alex suddenly stepped on the air and leaped again toward the dragon as he threw one hundred thrusts within a few seconds. "Hundred Spears!"

As a result, the dragon's face got disfigured. He didn't stop there. Since it was already disfigured, it was better to destroy it with his Weapon Consuming Spear.

His thrust was precise and deadly. If he used this as a weapon instead, he would have broken it already.

However, the dragon only got pushed back for a few meters while still having a fifty-meter body. Alex didn't pay attention to it as he only focused on the lotus. The fourth petal finally opened up, leaving only six more to go.

Alex thought for a moment and realized that if he couldn't use it twice, it shouldn't be a problem if he used two at the same time, right?

He squinted his eyes, looking at the dragon and thrust both sword and spear at the same time.

"Mythical Spear Cannon!"

The two weapons released laser-like attacks, hitting the dragon.

Alex observed carefully with his Spirit Eyes to see whether this attack proved to be effective or not, but when he noticed that the fifth petal finally bloomed, he smiled.

"Let's go!" He poured a bit more energy before the lightning dragon destroyed it.

The head soon recovered its form and continued its way toward Alex. However, Alex didn't immediately use another technique. Instead, he let it descend for a bit further before an array appeared on its track.

Alex smiled as this was one of the arrays he prepared earlier.

"Saint Explosion Array!"

*Boom!*

The huge explosion formed a fire pillar and clashed with the dragon. Alex narrowed his eyes when he noticed that the sixth petal didn't open.

"It is close to opening… I am sure of it." Alex leaped to the sky, emerging within the fire, and struck the dragon with both weapons. "Heaven Light Slash!"

As much as he wanted to use his Triple Draws here, he didn't dare to risk it because he might not be able to use it anymore, even though it was only a supporting technique.

The clash created a shockwave that someone flared the fire even more from the wind pressure emanating from it.

Without wasting any time, he used this momentum to test another technique. It was not an attack technique, so he wanted to use this momentum that kept the dragon at bay to test it.

"Space Bind."

A few space tentacles emerged from the Space World, circling around the dragon. Alex added another twist on this technique and poured more Spiritual Energy into it along with his Pure Fire.

The tentacles began emanating Pure Fire while clenching the tightness even further. He looked at the lotus and saw the increase of the energy, meaning that this strategy was a success.

Because of that, he chose to add another one.

"Swallowing Heaven!"

Alex summoned the two dragons and made them bite the dragon, refining the energy in their body. Alex looked at this scene as if watching cannibalism, but he still kept doing it.

It was at this time he noticed that the dragon released certain energy that also chipped away the energy from his Swallowing Heaven. And before long, they were gone.

Alex was a bit disappointed to see it, but he was consoled by the fact that he managed to open the seventh petal.

The Space Bind immediately lost its effectiveness, but it had served its purpose as Alex's guinea pig. He activated another array.

"Sphere Chain Array."

The arrays appeared along with the chains, chaining the dragon with those hot chains. However, he suddenly noticed another thing. It might be nice to wait for this, but he was afraid that the progress was too slow.

If he kept this up, his Spiritual Energy would lose too much energy, so he only planned to use this array like how he used the Space Bind—Only to stop the dragon for a few seconds.

The moment he had enough distance, Alex raised both hands, creating a giant fireball above his head. After fighting with all those nine stages, Alex had spent around forty percent of his energy, especially with that Hell Inferno earlier.

And now, he used another Hell Inferno with only twenty percent of energy because he needed the rest of forty percent to prepare for the worse.

He threw the hell inferno to the dragon as it exploded, sending a powerful shockwave through the area. There was already no plant or anything on this island, so it didn't blow many things except the surrounding seawater.

Alex narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "Come on! Open that eighth petal!"

The remaining fire kept burning the dragon while the chain slowly disappeared, but the petal finally opened.

"I have been waiting for it!" Alex grinned and summoned his one trump card.

"Sky Spear Array!"

The array summoned the spear, but it was a red spear instead of a blue spear. Alex infused his Pure Fire Energy here by using his Fire Authority and coated the entire giant spear with his Absolute Blade Intent.

He just learned it when he used it on the Earth Stage, so he chose to use it at this time because he had experienced how powerful it was.

Alex made a gripping motion before swinging his fist upward as if he was pushing the spear with all his strength.

And as expected, the power of this red spear was extraordinary. The tip of it was able to melt the dragon because of Alex's Pure Fire while spurting fire on its butt as if it was a boost.

Even so, Alex had poured a huge amount of Spiritual Energy here, and he unconsciously utilized the power within the new energy that resided in his body.

"Haaa!!" He roared while doing his best to hold on until the ninth petal opened.

Alex immediately waved both his sword and spear at the same time, releasing twelve Sword Waves at the same time.

He had been waiting for this. This was his strongest attack that contained his everything. The Triple Draws that he reserved was also for this moment. The twelve Sword Waves released its strongest might with the last strength he had left.

It was fine even if he used it all in this as long as he was able to open the last one.

"I need to become a God King if I want to protect my family! Don't you dare to stop me!" Alex shouted out loud, staring at the dragon with his fierce eyes. "Breeaaakk!"

The Sword Wave cut through the dragon, pushing it a few hundred meters back.

*Pant… Pant…*

Alex looked at the sky and found that the lotus had finally bloomed to its fullest.

He stared at the sky with a smile, but he somehow didn't feel satisfied as a doubt crept inside his heart, making him feel empty. He might have made the lotus bloom, but…

"Will this be enough?"

The scene where he met his previous self flashed before him. At that time, he noticed the change in Lin Xingzhi. Even though it was only for a brief moment, she seemed to be anxious over something. And the sudden appearance and how she refused to answer his question about the time element guy, he knew she must have been hiding something.

He didn't know about it, but he knew the way to know. He only needed to get stronger, strong enough for everyone to trust him that he could do it. And due to that desire, Alex gritted his teeth and looked at the dragon and waved his weapons.

"Mythical Fire Slash!"

He summoned all the twelve Sword Waves, stopping the dragon with the little energy he had left.

He noticed that the lotus could still increase its energy. That was why he had another resolve in his mind.

"I have said it before, I will continue as long as I can stand. If I don't have energy, I will use my body and strength to push it back!" Alex roared and charged toward the dragon, striking at the same spot where the twelve Sword Waves hit.

It looked like the twelve Sword Waves fused together with his sword, but it was not the case.

"Gah!" Alex felt the power of the dragon and spat blood, but he still channeled the little bit of his power to his sword. His eyes blurred, and his consciousness became fuzzy.

It might be his instinct, but the Spirit Crown suddenly revolved like crazy, pouring a bit more Spiritual Energy to Alex, but this energy wasn't really a Spiritual Energy. It was a kind of transition energy from Spiritual Energy to Divine Energy.

Alex let his instinct take over and pushed back the dragon. The new energy gradually fused the Pure Fire Sword Wave and the Space Cut into his sword before it coated the blade as if they were one.

Alex muttered and completed his swing.

"Three… Purities… Slash."
