Chapter 1123 - Great War Part 5

The news of a mysterious God King killed the Metal God shook both allies and enemies. However, that wasn't the only issue they needed to handle. The fact that the Metal God was a bear, even though he was supposed to be a human, shocked the entire alliance.

"What?!" The Goddess of Destiny shouted as he didn't expect to hear such a thing. After all, this meant that what Song Goddess had been telling her the whole time was true.

But she also realized that this unknown God King was actually Alex's trump card and the one that was fated to overturn the battlefield.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she indeed had made the wrong decision. After thinking for a while, she shouted. "Retreat. Have all our troops retreat."

"Do you think I will let you?" The Song Goddess smiled.

"Hmph. Do you think you can stop me?" Goddess of Destiny snorted.

Even Song Goddess knew that she couldn't contain her here unless someone came, so she raised her hand. "No, but I can weaken your force. Chase them down!"

"Uoh!"

All the God Kings from the alliance immediately retreated, knowing that the battle had become six God Kings versus four, so it was impossible for them to win.

Of course, no one let them go, chasing them down to the best of their ability. If they could cripple the alliance here, there was a chance of them going separate ways, at the same time, buying Alex time to power up.

The moment Alex became God King, no one would be able to threaten him anymore.

Alex, who witnessed all this, closed his eyes as he felt tired. Fighting a Rank 2 God was harder than he thought. Although he managed to kill him today, there was no telling whether he could defeat another Rank 2 God or not in the future since his Space Element and Array Mastery had been brought to the open.

Meanwhile, in Lin Xingzhi's side, she decided to stop and took care of Alaya, who suddenly spat a mouthful of blood. Her face was pale and her voice was coarse.

Alex visited her too since she was the one that allowed them to gain this victory.

"Thank you, Alaya."

Alaya shook her head helplessly before holding his hand. "You don't need to worry about it. Besides, there is something I want to say."

"Please tell me."

"With many people knowing my identity now, it will truly shake the entire alliance, especially those who are affiliated with that bastard beast. Hence, I don't think the alliance will be disbanded just like that."

"Yes. I am aware. I will be putting a countermeasure for it. At least for now, unless they reveal the bat, they won't have enough men to put up a fight against us."

"Fair enough." She nodded.

"And now that I have used my Life Incursion to temporarily gain back my peak power, I need a long time to recover. Luckily, the Life Source that my coffin has stolen is quite big, so I think I will be stuck in the Rank 2 God stage for a while… Probably, it will take me ten years to gain back my power even though I only need another four years before."

"Don't worry. Take your time. I will do my best to not involve you in this battle." Alex smiled, assuring her.

"Since you have said so, I can rest assured. However, I want to warn you that I can still see the shadow of death on you. Most probably, there is something big happening to the alliance right after this."

"Well, we can't really spy on them." Alex sighed. "N Squad is not enough to look at their conversation."

"Yeah. Just be prepared because anything can happen in the near future."

"Yes. I will be careful." Alex nodded with a serious expression before contemplating what he needed to do.

Meanwhile, Alaya turned to Lin Xingzhi and asked with a smile. "Do you understand the clue I showed you earlier?"

"I don't know if I have grasped it fully, but I think I understand the gist of it. To put it simply, I shouldn't fear my power. No, I should, in fact, have harmony with them. They are my power after all."

"Exactly. This is the real power of God King. To become a God King, you need to comprehend your Law. However, the current generation of God King only thought of them as a tool instead of a part of their body.

"Just like a sword that can make you bleed, they are afraid to use it to the full power and seal their full power. You are one of the examples. We can take a look at the God of Destruction too, since he is the closest one to us. Tell him this.

"He is the Destruction itself. But… Someone, who can kill, must know how to not kill. At the same time, if he wants to kill, no one can stop him. This is the best advice I can give him.

"As for the Palm God, Holy God, and Song Goddess, I don't think they are aware of it yet, so it's your discretion whether you want to tell them or not." Alaya finished her explanation with a choice for Lin Xingzhi.

"I understand. Well, our enemies are too big this time, so I want to strengthen them as much as possible before the grand battle, so I will tell them your advice." Lin Xingzhi smiled.

"It's up to you." She shrugged.

"Yep."

"In that case, let's go back."

"Haha, I will tell them first to retreat. Meanwhile, Alex and I will handle the aftermath." Lin Xingzhi shook her head helplessly.

"Alright." Alaya nodded and went toward the Elemental Gods since they knew her.

After giving the care of Alaya to them, Alex and Lin Xingzhi regrouped with the other God Kings with a serious expression.

"Who was the mysterious God King?" Raiju asked as he never expected that someone stronger than Lin Xingzhi actually appeared on the battlefield.

"It's one of the previous generation's God King. She is the Life and Death Goddess."

"!!!" The four God Kings opened their eyes wide as Song Goddess told them what she heard from the Goddess of Destiny.

"I see. So, that's how it is…" Alex narrowed his eyes and looked at the Holy God.

"I suspect that there is more than one "weapon" in the alliance. I doubt that they can get away with this."

"Yeah. Hence, we can assume that they won't attack us at least in a few years." Alex nodded. "That's why I want us to get stronger than ever."

Lin Xingzhi then stepped forward and said. "This is the secret of having the same power as the previous generation God Kings."

"!!!" They widened their eyes as Raiju asked. "Are you seriously going to give us such a secret?"

"We don't have that leeway." Lin Xingzhi shook her head helplessly. "Anyway, the real secret is the law."

"I mean, yes. We need Law to become a God King…" Raiju tilted his head in confusion.

"I haven't finished. What I want to say is… Instead of wielding that Law like a weapon, you should make it a part of your body. For example, you, God of Destruction. You are the Destruction itself. But… Someone, who can kill, must know how to not kill. At the same time, if he wants to kill, no one can stop him."

"What did you say?!" The God of Destruction dropped his jaw as if he couldn't believe what he heard. He suddenly closed his eyes for a minute before lowering his head. "Thank you so much."

"That's the Life and Death Goddess's advice for you. The others are still too far from this step."

"What did you say?" This time the Palm God who couldn't accept it, more accurately, he couldn't allow himself to be below the God of Destruction.

"You can talk it out among yourself. Alex and I will retreat right now." Lin Xingzhi shrugged.

Alex then cupped his hands politely and thanked them. "I really couldn't show how grateful I am. Without all of you, I doubt Eulja can take such a hit."

He lied on this one since he indeed had a trump card that no one could believe. With all his wealth, he could create three more God Kings. Unfortunately, only Anna and Leoz seemed to be the closest to this step.

"Unfortunately, we can't afford to be drunk in victory because who knows what will happen when we lower our guard." Alex let out a long sigh.

"It's fine. We understand it."

Alex and Lin Xingzhi nodded at the same time before returning.

Before they returned, Song Goddess caught up with them. "Big Sister."

"Ah, Rinrin." Lin Xingzhi smiled. "It's nice to see you here helping us."

"Ahaha. I couldn't throw away everything that he had given in the past." Song Goddess scratched the back of her head.

"That's right. Let me introduce you. He is the current Spirit God, Alexander Sirius. Although he is his reincarnation, he is by no means the same person, so you shouldn't mistake him for another person, okay?"

"Yes." Song Goddess nodded with a big smile. "I am Rin. I don't have a family name. Because of that, people often call me Rinrin since it gives a nice ring to their ears. Please call me Rinrin too. And please marry me and give me your seed."

"Oi." Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes.

Rinrin stuck her tongue out. "That's a joke."

"You asked me about the relationship between the past you and her, right? I will explain it now." Lin Xingzhi took a deep breath and continued. "You once saved her after her home planet got razed to the ground. She was the lone survivor of that catastrophe.

"Since it was like fate, you decided to take care of her and trained her. Back when the war started, if I wasn't wrong, she barely reached Rank 10 God, right?"

"Yes. I just finished my Divine Tribulation." She nodded before recalling something that made her smile. "I still remember back when I followed him. The Spirit God was kind to his family. His small house ended up becoming an orphanage for people like us. Of course, all of them were stronger than me."

"Well, you are the only one who has become a God King though."

"Hehe, I managed to beat that Carissa." She smirked.

"Right. You love to prank each other, saying it's due to your rivalry. And now, you have become a God King while Carissa succeeded the previous Guardian that died because of the war."

"I'm sorry that I couldn't help you during that war." Rinrin lowered her head.

"It's fine. That's the war of the past. I have forgotten the small details. Anyway, what do you think of coming to Eulja for a small party for this victory? I am sure that everyone is thrilled to see you." She smiled.

"Really? I can do that?"

"Yeah. I think good music is nice to accompany the party." She nodded.

"That's great. I will surely come. Let me settle everything with my army first before visiting Eulja." Song Goddess looked eager to come.

However, there was a hidden agenda for this invitation and this was what Alex and Lin Xingzhi had agreed earlier. They knew that the Song Goddess was still suspicious, so they needed to check her thoroughly.

In fact, Rinrin must have known that and agreed to this invitation to redeem herself.

"Anyway, I will be looking forward to meeting you in Eulja. Although I don't know you personally, it's really a pleasure to meet someone that I knew in the past."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Rinrin made a big smile. "I will definitely come."

"See you later then." Alex smiled back and nodded his head before leaving, heading to his army and returning to Eulja triumph. It obviously brought endless joy to Eulja because this was their first big fight that involved all the people in Eulja's territory, unlike the first expedition against the Array God, which only involved the spirits.

The battlefield then soon felt empty when Alex and his armies disappeared from the battlefield.
