Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 1116 - Reward

Meanwhile, in the outer area of Eulja territory, the six God Kings met each other before the war.

"It seems you have gathered all here." The Metal God entered the room with a serious expression. "What do you think about the prospect of this battle?"

The Goddess of Destiny suddenly raised her hand. "I don't think this war is something good. I have calculated the destiny once again. Although I can't see what kind of future it holds, I can see that it will give us a ten percent chance of winning."

"!!!" The God Kings in the room widened their eyes in shock, not expecting to hear such a thing.

"Goddess of Destiny. Are you going to trick us? Do you think the four God Kings on his side have the ability to fight six of us?"

"I don't know." She shook her head. "I don't see the future… I only see your fate. And someone in this room is fated to die. Unfortunately, I don't know who it is."

*Gasp*

The God Kings became panicked as they looked at each other.

"Hmm…" Song Goddess narrowed her eyes and said, "I think Spirit God has a backup that he has hidden for a long time just for this battle. Possibly, the backup is a God King… or even worse, two God Kings."

"…" The room fell silent as the atmosphere turned heavy.

"You know, Eulja once had allies, right? Maybe they called them back after Spirit God ascended the throne?" Song Goddess explained her train of thought.

"Hmm. That's possible. Spirit God is strong and his influence runs deep. Even in the past, despite being targeted by so many Divine Worlds, they persist."

"How about it, Goddess Destiny?"

"Hmm… I can feel an existence… I don't know, but this existence will bring a huge change in the battlefield."

"!!!" The group was convinced that this existence would be the one they needed to deal with.

"So, should we go back?"

Metal God shook his head and slammed the table. "If we are going back, it's almost impossible to raise the army to this level and our alliance won't be solid anymore. Besides, do you think the Spirit God will spare you after everything you've done?"

"…" Everyone in the room closed their eyes, knowing that once they took a sword, only one side could live.

Besides, there was only one person that was going to die in this battle, so they thought it would be fine to challenge them.

At the same time, Song Goddess was smiling inwardly as if she was scheming something and said, "Then it means we have been in this path of no return."

"…" Though they didn't say it, they had the same thing in their mind. Whatever they did on the battlefield, they should make sure they didn't become the one person that died in this place.

"Anyway, we already have a grand plan ready. If we start losing on the battlefield, we can just use our trump card. Knowing the Spirit God, he must be panicking." Metal God smirked and asked Goddess of Destiny. "How is the preparation?"

"Everything is ready. There are fifteen Rank 2 Gods that would be helping us in that battle." The Goddess of Destiny nodded. "Although I can't calculate their destiny since they are not here, logically thinking, this plan is very good. Even I will be scared when it actually hits me."

The Metal God smirked. "Then, it's time for us to march. If I'm not wrong, today is the day of the semifinal in that small competition he created. After the semifinal, there is a final. Unfortunately, he can't witness the final because today is his final day."

All the God Kings nodded at each other as they rose from their seats.

"Now, let's go back to our position and lead the troops onward." The Metal God smirked as he released his killing intent.

Song Goddess and the others agreed and left the room after him.

…

While those six people had an intense conversation, the atmosphere in the tournament was so different.

After upgrading Rok's ability, he walked toward Saul and Giza, asking. "You two. Have you gotten your True Spirit Body yet?"

"I have, Your Majesty," answered Saul with a calm expression.

"I haven't." Giza shook his head in disappointment.

"I see." Alex nodded and thought for a moment. "What is the technique you want to upgrade?"

"I am a Winged Lion Spirit, Your Majesty. And I have one special skill that I have sealed this whole time, called Lightning Sealing Roar. As the name implies, the roar will transmit my lightning ability to either injure or paralyze someone. I believe I should choose this."

"Alright." Alex nodded before turning to Giza. "How about you?"

"I would like to upgrade my other half… The only skeleton that can be as powerful as I am."

"Sure." Alex then placed his hand on Saul's shoulders before upgrading the technique he wanted.

After a few minutes, Saul was suddenly covered with lightning as he took a few steps back.

"Try it yourself."

Saul nodded and opened his mouth, absorbing all the lightning around his body.

Roar.

The lightning came out of his mouth before turning into a lion, charging straight to the wall.

Feeling the danger from the lion, William appeared in front of the wall and cut the tiger with his sword effortlessly. However, there was a residual of lightning in his sword and William waved his sword to get rid of it, only to find that it was a great mistake.

The residual lightning sparked as it flew from his sword to its trajectory before exploding when it hit the barrier.

Crack.

"What?"

"Did we hear it, right?"

"I heard something just cracked. What's that?"

"Look! It can even crack the barrier."

Everyone was bewildered by the effect of Alex's enhancement. Even Saul showed his expression for the first time and stared at what his lightning could do in disbelief. He kneeled on one knee and clasped his hands. "Thank you for your graciousness, Your Majesty."

Alex only patted his shoulders a few times before walking to Giza. "You're next."

"…" Giza closed his eyes and let Alex do whatever he wanted.

Suddenly, a giant skeleton emerged from Giza's shadow as if it fused to his body. This was the first time they saw the master could be inside one of the skeletons.

"…" Alex was speechless when he witnessed this while thinking, 'I feel like I have seen this somewhere on Earth. Hmm, it's been a few decades, so I can't remember that much detail…'

Giza, on the other hand, still closed his eyes while his skeleton summoned a giant scythe that made it look like a death reaper.

"Death Penalty."

A massive black wave flew out of his scythe and ran through the ground before climbing the barrier. When it was all over, there was a giant mark in the barrier, showing that it was one step away from breaking.

Alex chuckled as he muttered. "Well, yes. That looks like a death penalty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Giza realized that the upgrade not only allowed him to fuse with his own skeleton but it also granted him this powerful technique.

Alex nodded and moved to the second place winner with a calm expression and asked. "Have you gained your True Spirit Body yet? And which ability do you want me to enhance?"

"I am afraid that I am not qualified to receive such a favor from Your Majesty." Maiah lowered her head. "I couldn't even notice something important…"

"This is what you call the difference of experience." Alex smiled and patted her shoulders. "If you want to punish yourself, instead of bringing unnecessary harm to your body like this, you should go to another planet to gain more experience. Consider this reward as my blessing that will protect you in your journey. But since you want to punish yourself, I will grant you the same punishment as Rok."

Alex smiled and activated his Spirit Crown. This was different from what he granted to the other three.

Alex entered his consciousness, finding a reflection of Maiah with eight sharp spider legs behind her body. That's right. This was an awakening instead of an enhancement.

"Wake up, True Spirit Body, Eight Asura Spider Form."

Maiah gritted her teeth before her clothes were ripped. Eight spider legs came out of her back. They had silver color and looked so sharp to the point they would be mistaken as blades instead.

"Try swinging them." Alex smiled.

Maiah tried to control the legs and waved them gently, but suddenly, eight cuts were made, slashing the entire arena into pieces.

"…"

No one could imagine that a slight movement could create these cuts. And more importantly, she was only a Rank 5 God at the moment. Not knowing why, she felt like Alex just opened the door for her… The door that led to so many possibilities.

She dropped on her knees and clasped her hands. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I shall offer this life for you."

Alex didn't answer her as he made his way toward Raisa instead. "Congratulations on winning this tournament."

She shook her head. "This is just the beginning, Your Majesty."

"Is that so?" Alex smiled and nodded. "Do you have any specific skill you want to improve?"

"I am not sure. The root ability? It's the one that I usually use."

Alex nodded and placed his hand on her shoulders, using his power.

Just like the others, she instinctively used it. But it couldn't be said as a root anymore as it fully grew into a giant tree.

Everyone was curious about its ability, only to get surprised when all the leaves fell simultaneously. They thought that the enhancement was a failure but soon took back their conclusion.

The moment the leaves hit the barrier, a giant root appeared and either slammed or strangled the barrier until it completely broke. In other words, among the winners this time, Raisa was truly the strongest.

Alex burned the roots again to clean it up and smiled. "You can even use your Divine Energy to control their movement. It's a great ability."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Raisa politely bowed to him.

With this, the competition ended with a spectacular show from each winner since the abilities they showed earlier were truly splendid.

Alex then announced. "I will be holding this competition every ten years unless said otherwise and I will ensure that every type of person can become the winner. So, do your best and show me that you are worthy."

"Uoh!"

The audience was hysteric as they thought they had the chance to win something this big.

However, their excitement disappeared the moment Alex released his killing intent, staring at six figures in the sky.

They were none other than the Six Elemental Gods. And their appearance here was the signal that the war had started.
