"Right? Phoenix Sun Fire…" Alex smirked before laughing out loud. "This is truly hilarious. The fire inside you is just a temporary fire that will die soon the moment you release it. Now, I have enough reasons to destroy your entire planet… To think that you would have sold yourself away to another universe.

"I don't know whether you are aware of it or not, but the thing inside your body… was the one that created the dark era five thousand years ago." Alex snorted and continued.

"You don't have any proof. Otherwise, the people here already know about it. You're just lying because you can't oppress me with that flame of yours," shouted Roy while waving his hand, telling him he was wrong.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you said. Everything will be over and I can prove my claim as soon as I destroy your planet. Besides, it's not like it's that hard to even get the proof of the connection between you and the one who put the fire in you… Or should I say the Phoenix Goddess?" Alex smirked before turning to William. "William, call Lin Xingzhi for me and inform the situation. Have her attack this guy's world immediately. There is a possibility of a God King hiding in his place, so be careful."

William nodded with a serious expression before he began moving.

Roy panicked and shouted. "Hillman, kill him!"

The middle-aged man that came with him earlier suddenly disappeared, heading straight toward Alex.

"!!!" William narrowed his eyes and jumped toward him to protect Alex, but a mysterious Rank 2 God appeared and stopped William.

"Hahaha! Even if you are a Rank 4 God, you won't be able to defeat a Rank 3 God. Die, Spirit God!" Roy laughed.

Suddenly, Firia's shadow expanded as multiple streams of shadow emerged, heading straight toward Hillman, stopping his movement.

Hillman turned out to be better than he expected as he released the same fire as Roy and burned the shadow.

Sullivan was forced to make his appearance.

Clang.

A clashing sound echoed in everyone's ears as Hillman couldn't even reach Alex. Sullivan, who appeared out of nowhere, truly shocked the entire audience, but he simply ignored them and said, "It's not the time for His Majesty to make his move yet."

Alex activated his Spirit Eyes and saw through every single person in this area. In fact, he had seen them while refining to see the precaution, but he realized that the situation was worse than he imagined.

'Lin Xingzhi. You should go right now. Ask our allies to secretly move too because we might have the chance to pull the connection between the God King that is hiding in that planet to the Phoenix Queen. After that, we will pull them together with the Dragon God and the others.'

[Understood. We will be flying in ten minutes.]

'Alright.' Alex nodded before shouting. "Sullivan, take care of the one behind me. I will handle that Rank 3 God."

Sullivan widened his eyes and leaped toward Alex, preventing another Rank 2 God from hitting Firia. It turned out that one of the elders actually supported Roy.

"No need to hold back. We want to deal with this as soon as possible." Alex snorted.

"Understood." William and Sullivan nodded at the same time. The former pulled both blades and aimed them toward the guy in his way. Meanwhile, Sullivan activated his True Spirit Body and handled the elder.

"After you promised to not cause accidents in this place, this is your action, Spirit God? Shame on you!" The elder shouted, trying to push the blame to him.

"Just shut up, Old Man. I know that you can use the same flame. Judging by the intensity, the one in that old guy's body is stronger while you three have the same level. I can't wait for what I will find on your planet." Alex smirked.

Roy clenched his fists and ordered. "Hillman! What are you waiting for? Kill him!"

As soon as he heard that order, Hillman leaped toward Alex while swinging his axe. It had been covered with fire too, so this attack would surely deal serious damage to Alex.

However, the latter simply took out his sword and infused his Elements, Divine Energy, Intent, Qi, and Soul.

"Five Purities Slash."

Alex's sword and the guy's fire axe clashed against each other for a while before he felt the difference in power behind Alex's Martial Art and got blown away.

Boom.

He crashed to the wall.

Alex used this time to announce. "Those who are unrelated shouldn't make any move. This matter is why the alliance wants to kill me. They are trying to revive their king, who was the real cause of that dark era. While the alliances, including the Earth God and Battle God, are their subordinates. And they were the ones responsible for killing the Dungeon God and the others.

"Even my past life died under their king's hand. That's why I will fix this right now before they can do anything. I know that it's hard to believe in me, but I simply want you to stay where you are. I will explain it to you later." Alex smiled, trying to rally the people here to spread the rumors about the beast along with its armies.

This way, the rumors would spread and the enemies wouldn't try to do something big for the time being, giving him a bit more time.

As for the proof, he would just summon Jeanne here and show everyone the real truth after torturing. That was an easy thing to do unless they planned to commit suicide.

Because of the talk where he had to settle down the participants and audience, he allowed Hillman to recover and charge at him with a serious expression.

At the same time, he found Roy was about to escape.

"You're not getting anywhere!" Alex shouted and grasped his hand, sending his Space Element toward Roy and hitting him from above as if he got slapped by an invisible hand.

Bang.

A huge rectangular crater appeared and pinned Roy from the ground. Obviously, as he was only a Rank 6 God, he couldn't even properly attack him. And everyone in this place should have begun to speculate something fishy in Roy's reaction.

In fact, Roy's planet should only have one Rank 2 God. Yet, there was a mysterious expert hiding their radar and didn't come to protect him from the start. This showed that Roy actually had a hidden intention in participating in this competition and built up his career in the Pill Tower.

Alex saw Hillman coming and stopped his charge with his sword before summoning his Spirit Crown. He then shouted to the other Rank 2 God elder and said, "I think you should start protecting the people here and preventing them from going outside. I don't want any misunderstanding left in the air. I can take care of this matter myself and you don't need to worry about me breaking the rule of Pill Tower. I won't."

Although he had been suspicious about Roy's identity, he had no choice other than to follow Alex's instructions because he didn't know whose side to choose as the right and wrong were not clear yet.

"Firia, take care of yourself." Alex smiled and took out his spear.

"Understood." She nodded and took out an Array Plate. It was the Teleportation Array Plate Alex made her promise earlier.

Alex then released both of his elements, covering the spear's tip with his Space Element before he thrust it toward Hillman.

"Ha!" Hillman struck Alex's spear with all of his power before he realized what was happening. "It's not touching?"

It was true. This time, Hillman's axe didn't even touch Alex's spear because he solidified Space Element around his spear.

At the same time, Alex channeled all his Pure Fire to his sword and struck him from above.

Clang.

Hillman managed to stop that slash with his axe's handle, albeit surprisingly, an entire arena turned into a crater just because of that attack. It turned out that Alex actually hit him with the Nature Energy from the Spirit Crown.

"Kh!" Hillman felt that hit earlier before he released all of his power.

Although he didn't care about this place, it was better if no more people intervened because there was a chance of them being another accomplice. Hence, Alex used his Space Element to reinforce the entire floor while activating his Sound Insulation Array.

Seeing this chance, Hillman attacked him from below.

Alex narrowed his eyes and smiled. Activating both Dragon Aura and Phoenix Aura, he added the power with his Fire Authority second stage. He then leaped back and thrust his spear toward him, to which he stopped it with his axe.

Unfortunately, he realized it too late when a torrential fire hit his back.

"Gah!"

Alex smiled as his Twin Fusion Spear always succeeded for a sneak attack. After that one attack, a door of opportunity smiled at him.

Alex raised his sword and channeled all his power into it.

"Five Purities Slash."

The slash once again hit his axe, preventing it from killing him. However, Alex had gained the advantage and pinned him to the ground.

Not wanting to leave any more chance for Hillman, Alex summoned two dragons from both weapons, charging at him from two sides. As he was trying to stop them, Alex used his power to press him to the ground.

The man himself seemed to have no control over his fire or a Martial Art that could complement it. Hence, Alex thought that this battle seemed to be going better than he imagined it would.

The two dragons broke past the barrier he made with Divine Energy and swallowed both arms.

"Ah!" Hillman screamed in pain as he lost the strength to grip his weapon.

And Alex used this opportunity to stab him in the stomach.

Remembering the ban of killing in this Pill Tower, Alex stopped before he sliced Hillman's body.

"Alex? Why did you stop?" Firia stared at him in amazement, thinking that he wanted to get information from him.

But little did she know Alex only wanted to follow the rule. However, he didn't state he would spare his life.

Not wanting to get into trouble, Alex summoned a Spatial Gate toward the Space World and threw Hillman's body that seemed to have grown weaker after all the injuries.

He smiled and thrust his spear, piercing his head without mercy. "You're dead."

"Look! I didn't kill in this Pill Tower. Instead, I killed him in the Space World, so I didn't break any rule." Alex innocently proved his words before turning around.

The people inside were stunned by his reasoning, but they couldn't refute it either. Alex, on the contrary, shouted to both William and Sullivan. "You two, you hear me? We don't kill people here? Bring those two to me and we can kill them in the Space World."

William and Sullivan laughed at Alex's approach and nodded at the same time. "Leave it to us, Your Majesty."

Meanwhile, Roy, who was pinned to the ground this whole time, panicked as he never thought that Alex would be able to beat a Rank 3 God.

That might also be the reason why Alex called him a fool who couldn't even see who was before him. He was too ignorant to know about Alex's deed of killing a Rank 2 God.

Not bothered by the thoughts, he walked toward Roy with a poker face before lifting him up with Divine Energy to prevent him from escaping. After that, a card appeared in his hand as he summoned Jeanne out of the card.

"Your Majesty." Jeanne lowered her head and greeted him politely.

"Jeanne… I'm leaving him to you. Make him confess everything, including the connection and their plans." Alex ordered.

Jeanne smiled and turned around, reaching Roy's head and grabbing his hair. She pulled him out of the ground and lifted him a bit, moving to another place that could be seen from all sides of the arena.

She then started taking out her torture device from the Inventory and began torturing Roy.
