Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 1106 - Retreat To Attack

With three God Kings following the Holy God to leave the alliance, only six God Kings remained in this room, including the Song Goddess, the Metal God, and the God King that rebuked the Holy God before.

They stared at each other. The room atmosphere turned worse as cracks began to appear in the room as they released a bit more pressure.

The Metal God narrowed his eyes and asked, "And I presume, all of you are planning to strike the Spirit God, right?"

"Of course. The Spirit God is too arrogant. He will kill us without mercy with the slightest grievance. Back when I was a kid, my planet almost became his target, so I'm not going to spare him. This is the only chance to kill him, preventing him from causing another terror to this universe."

The Metal God turned to the God King that rebuked the Holy God and asked. "I see. Then you are with me, right, Earth God?"

"Yes. He ended up destroying the other planet next to me and you might haven't felt it, but if you were there, you would have realized what kind of nightmare he put on us." The Earth God nodded with a grim expression.

"Revenge, huh…" The Song Goddess closed her eyes. Her voice was calm and there was no expression that could translate her emotion right now. Yet, everyone somehow sympathized with her with that tone alone. "When I was a kid, my planet was destroyed and I was the lone survivor…"

*Gasp!* The people widened their eyes and understood why the Song Goddess took part in this matter. To be a lone survivor, it must be hard for her. The Spirit God was known to be ruthless to his enemies even if they were innocent. They usually killed all people inside that world like what he did to the Array God.

It required talent and tremendous luck to become the lone survivor, especially with the Spirit God on your tail. Not only would she need to hide for a long time, but she also needed to get into the place that outsmarted everyone on that planet.

At that time, she must have suffered so much, but she turned that hatred to determination and became a God King.

The other God Kings also told them the reason why they wanted to kill the Spirit God.

…

After a long conversation, they reached an agreement.

"In that case, we will attack the Spirit God three years later. I want all of you to get everything ready and start pressuring Eulja from all sides. We can learn from his allies this way since they will surely not abandon him just like that." The Metal God smirked.

"You misunderstand something, Metal God." The Song Goddess narrowed her eyes. She explained with a serious expression. "You are indeed the one that instigated this alliance to be shaped like this, but by no means are you our leader. What right do you have to lead us? Nothing. Despite having this alliance, we all are equal."

The Metal God frowned before sighing and raising both hands. "It wasn't my intention to offend you with my speech. This is just how I speak, I hope you can understand that. At the same time, I apologize if I offended you in any way, Song Goddess."

Song Goddess paused for a few seconds, creating tension between them. Knowing she needed to stop, she harrumphed and looked away.

"In that case, I hope all of you can start pressuring Eulja for three years to lower their morale before we attack him. That's all." The Metal God smiled and cupped his hands politely.

…

Meanwhile, Alex's condition was far from what they could imagine. He simply had stabilized his position in this refining as the petals slowly formed a certain special place that could act as his second "heart" that allowed him to store the same amount of energy his heart currently had.

But to utilize this energy, he needed to direct it to his own heart first.

Alex tried to go around it by transferring the same amount of energy from this special place inside his body to his heart as soon as he used a single technique. This way, he would be able to keep fighting on the battlefield.

Still, Alex took a long six months just to complete this process. Inside his body now had a kind of black heart that acted as his energy supply.

Since he had spent a long time in this room, he quickly went out of his room and visited Lin Xingzhi to know about their current situation.

"Alex? You're done?" Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes, trying to check his current power.

"Yeah. It took me a while, but I have the confidence to kill a Rank 3 God with my current strength. Although we will fight for a long time and the energy that I can utilize is still within my current cultivation, I can last long enough until they are exhausted."

"That's good." Lin Xingzhi smiled. "To think that you have reached this step this soon. I'm happy."

"Hahaha. I need to thank everyone here. The Dungeon God and the Fire God have given me the opportunity… My past self and Fathers-in-law have sacrificed themselves. I can't thank them enough." Alex shook his head in defeat. "They are the ones who are amazing."

"Right? By the way, if you are here, I think you want to know about our situation, no?"

"Yeah." Alex nodded as his expression turned serious.

"The situation is not too bad to be honest. First of all, we have confirmed all six enemies that we need to face… They are Metal God, Earth God, Song Goddess, Goddess of Destiny, God of Wrath, and Battle God. These six."

"Hmm." Alex narrowed his eyes and looked down. "How can our situation be not bad? Well, if you add two or three more God Kings from our side by the use of the system, you can say it's not bad. But if you don't add it up, then it will be four versus six. Do you think you can handle them?"

"You might not know this, but we have a past ally inside their union. Although I don't understand why she is doing this, I think she has a different meaning."

"Who?"

"Song Goddess. From what I know, she was once a musician in our castle. One day, you asked her to leave and never told us anything about it. The matter had been long forgotten too. Well, I did forget it. If not because Korzan reminded me about her, I would have panicked as well." Lin Xingzhi let out a long sigh.

"Korzan, eh. Such a reliable guy."

"Indeed. There was a saying. If you forgot, asked Korzan to help you. He noted every single thing, including the smallest things like when did you take a bath or what did you do at a particular time."

"Ehm… Are you sure he is not a stalker?" Alex suddenly had a change of opinion and joked about it.

"Ahaha. I can understand your concern, but if it's not because of his meticulous efforts, the situation will become far more serious."

"Fair enough. How about the other things? Like our allies…"

"You don't need to worry about them. The Holy God may not help us during this period, but he has agreed to come when the time for the battle comes. The God of Destruction is trying to lift the pressure from us, but he is more directed to the investigation since it's better to look at the future.

"The Palm God is the most protective. He is trying to lift up the pressure while claiming that his daughter is your wife. Of course, the War Goddess has been sending me apologies about his behavior that can't be changed.

"As for the situation on our side, the enemies have been blocking our trading route, resulting in us losing our current revenue. But no need to worry. We can use our reserve first while getting our compensation after destroying their worlds.

"The disciples also can't go to another planet because they will be ambushed. Luckily, the ten Commandants and Five Guardians are protecting our rear while the Six Elemental Gods are preparing the competition to distract people's attention.

"This will allow us to keep our morale for the time being." Lin Xingzhi explained their situation with a calm expression.

Alex agreed to her initial impression. The situation wasn't really that bad if you assumed that the God Kings were even. However, if the Song Goddess were actually an enemy, it would become dire pretty soon and Alex might need to forcefully level up Anna and Leoz to become a God King.

After contemplating for a moment, Alex opened his mouth. "Keep the situation in order for now. It's not like we haven't experienced this in the past. I assume the people also understand it and stay strong in this dangerous situation.

"As for the trade, it's fine to compensate them by using our cash reserve. We will get it back after conquering their worlds. Unfortunately, I can't tell what their strategy is to handle us, so I will leave it to Anya for the details.

"For now, make sure to preserve our current condition. We will stay silent for a while." Alex explained while contemplating their chance of success without using his trump card.

"I understand. I will tell Anya about it."

It seemed Alex had no confidence in keeping it a secret anymore. "Hmm… I believe I don't need to hide my Space Element anymore. I have the confidence to reach Rank 4 God during this training. Rank 3 God won't be a problem for me anymore, but it doesn't mean I can fight a Rank 2 God. I can escape from them though."

"Yep. I think that's fine. Unless a God King is coming for you, your situation won't be that bad. But I think it's better for me to accompany every trip you will have in the future, such as getting the last refinement material for your Undying Fire Body or any others."

"I know. I will be relying on you at that time. For now, I need to go to the inheritance palace alone."

"I will handle the other process. I am sure that with your Teleportation Array, you won't be spotted, but you need to be careful, alright? Just leave the investigation to the N Squad." Lin Xingzhi warned him to not act like Nelson and tried to figure out something alone.

Alex smiled. "Don't worry. I won't be rash. Besides, I will make them regret picking a fight with me."

"I will be looking forward to it." Lin Xingzhi nodded.

"Alright then." Alex snapped his finger as he summoned his Teleportation Array. After giving his goodbye to her, Alex disappeared from the room.
