After laughing at Agnis's comment, they then turned to Anna, who had been waiting for her turn this whole time. Seeing Jeanne succeed alone already lifted a huge burden on her shoulder.

Anna nodded at Alex with a serious expression as she asked, "Please. I'm ready."

"Xingzhi." Alex then gave a signal to Lin Xingzhi to do the same thing to Anna.

[Okay.]

[Processing.]

[Complete.]

[Anna (Dark)

Level: 90 (Rank 1 God)

Exp: 0/->

Just like Jeanne, Anna's body emitted black energy as it spread around without her consent. This was the Darkness Law or so they believed since they couldn't understand what kind of Law Anna actually chose.

The dark energy enveloped her skin before spreading to all her body as if the darkness itself swallowed her.

Anna also didn't let out a single voice inside the dark energy, so she must have her hand full with the Law.

After Alex confirmed that she was alright, the rest felt relieved and watched attentively to see any difference. Of course, they had prepared to make another barrier and ready their weapon for an incoming attack, but that was all.

They simply watched how Anna got "tortured" inside her dark cocoon as the influx of Dark Law stormed in.

Alex gulped down as he became even more impatient in Anna's turn. But considering Anna was his wife, it was normal and the others understood it as well.

Suddenly, the dark energy burst out as Anna's just changed her appearance inside, befitting her own position right now.

Her long black hair was tied to a ponytail with a purple butterfly pin. There was also another one on the front, clipping her bang and let it rest on top of her right eyebrow.

Her purple eyes now had a pointed sharp black dot, symbolizing her power. She wore a one-piece black dress that was gently wrapped with a black shawl on her waist. The dress reached a little above her knee.

"True Spirit Body, Dark Butterfly Spirit."

A pair of wings appeared again. Although it didn't have any change in its appearance, Alex could see the ridiculous amount of Dark Energy inside her wings. However, her scythe now turned completely black on its handle, coupled with butterfly patterns that made it recognizable since it had the same color as her hairpin.

The blade had two colors: black on the outside, green on the inside, complementing each other when running side by side.

Unlike Jeanne, there was no baptism from the sky. Instead, all the Dark Energy wrapped her and formed a ball to host her body inside as if she started her last evolution.

They looked at each other before feeling something was coming. Anna stretched her wings and flapped them, sending all the Dark Energy to all directions.

Alex and the others used their barriers to stop this rampaging energy without hesitation.

"Ah, my daughter. My daughter has become the grim reaper. Look at this grandfather… I don't mind if it's my granddaughter that takes this old man. My daughter is the prettiest." Rilt became a total idiot and cheered like Anna was an idol or something.

Even Vina needed to stop his mouth from opening so as to not bother them before Alex sent him away with his Teleportation Array.

Anna's cultivation solidified as she gradually finished the last step.

Boom.

Another surge of Dark Energy appeared and struck the barrier, rampaging inside the barrier.

Alex simply watched her progress with his Spirit Eyes and would stop as soon as a mistake happened.

Just when they thought this would be over, they were wrong. Anna released another powerful energy wave and shook the barrier.

Even the others felt that power and furrowed their eyebrows.

Alex muttered while observing Anna's change. "Is this happening because of the difference in understanding their power?"

"I'm afraid so." Vina nodded with a serious expression. "Well, I don't understand it myself even though I'm learning Darkness Law. And since my daughter has done it before me, I don't think I will continue mastering it as my understanding and hers will clash."

"That's a wise decision, but are you sure, Vina?" Lin Xingzhi agreed to her but still asked for confirmation.

"She is my child and my treasure. If she can live well and surpass me like this, do I need anything more? No. She and Anya will always be my pride and joy." Vina shook her head. There wasn't a single trace of regret or envy in her eyes.

"Is that so? Then we will let you be the first to congratulate her."

"Ahaha. Thanks." Vina nodded.

Slowly but surely, the energy in her body subsided before it began consolidating in her body. She took a bit less time than Jeanne, but a few hours had passed.

The moment she opened her eyes, Anna smiled and nodded. "I have succeeded."

This time, Vina was the one who jumped toward her and hugged her tightly.

Without the need for words, Anna understood what her mother wanted to convey. She couldn't help but smile and hugged her back. "Thank you, Mom."

"I love you, my kid."

After a long hug, Anna then rose from the ground and told Alex. "I don't think I need to explain much. It's basically the same as Jeanne from my observation. Other than me taking up the position as Goddess of Darkness, I don't think there's any other thing I need to add."

Alex nodded with a smile. "Then I am glad. Lin Xingzhi, Anna, Jeanne, Alaya, Leoz, and God of Wrath… We will have six God Kings in the near future."

"You should add yourself too." Anna shrugged as there was no way that Alex wouldn't enter the list.

Alex didn't answer her as he only stuck his tongue out before turning around. "Anyway, since we have finished here, we should wrap it soon. Anna and Jeanne can consolidate their power for now. The rest of you are to return to your position because I feel we will have another war soon."

"Understood." They agreed without hesitation, fully knowing that their enemies couldn't wait any longer.

After saying that, Alex returned to the castle to rest. Even though he knew that he would have ten God Kings on his side, it was still not enough. Basically, Anna and Jeanne might need to pair up to kill a single God King from their side since their strength couldn't be compared to that of a God King from the past generation.

The same applied to Leoz, Song Goddess, Holy God, and Palm God. If they were to team up together, they could only fight two God Kings. Hence, Alex needed to subtract three from the current count.

This became a headache for him because he didn't know what to say about them.

He chose to rest in his room and contemplated his next move. Unfortunately, they couldn't really attack the Phoenix Goddess, Dragon God, Earth God, or Battle God because there would be a chance they would get ambushed by Angel and Bats when he did it. And there were still their "pets" that made the entire situation even more stressful.

Alex gave up and focused on strengthening himself first. He took out the last ingredient he needed to refine the Undying Fire Body, the Fire Divine Crystal. It could be said that this only happened once every one thousand times where a Fire Disturbance collided with a Space Disturbance, resulting in it getting sealed inside the space element.

And that space element turned into a crystal. Alex could even say this crystal is the compressed form of Fire Disturbance.

If not because of his Pure Fire, Alex wouldn't survive if he swallowed this.

Alex took out a pink crystal with a small fireball inside as if it were a sun. He gulped down, gathered his resolve, and swallowed the crystal.

The moment the Space Element dissolved in his mouth, the blazing heat burst out. Alex's Pure Fire immediately revolved to prevent the explosion, but his body was heating up.

But Alex didn't want to go down without a fight, so his Fire Authority helped him suppress the Fire Disturbance and let the Pure Fire refine its energy.

At the same time, Alex realized that he didn't have any Fire Technique that could help him resolve something like this. He had his Fire Phoenix Art, Sun Descent, and Fire Authority, but none of them were actually useful in the last few battles.

His Fire Phoenix Art could be considered a Divine Technique, but it was one of the lowest Divine Technique because it purely relied on his overbearing Pure Fire. Hence, he needed to get something that would be able to help his Fire to do something more useful.

At the same time, Sun Descent lost its purpose when he had gotten the Fire Authority Second Stage, allowing him to suppress anyone with Fire Element. The others would also feel a certain amount of pressure. That was why he believed he only had a single Fire Technique.

While refining his body, Alex thought about getting two or three Fire Techniques that could boost his overall ability.

His master might be able to teach him one or two techniques, but he also had a variety of techniques inside his head, so he wasn't sure whether to ask him or not.

Since the refining process was automatically done by his Pure Fire, Alex decided to search through his mind while enduring the pain.

He searched for techniques that he could use and turned out to have found two Techniques. The first technique was called Divine Petal. The technique called a single lotus made of fire and hit someone or an attack before deploying all of its petals to strike the target.

It was a highly offensive technique that could improve his overall abilities.

The second technique was known as Star God Divine Control. It basically allowed him to control a Fire Disturbance. Whether he wanted to pour that power into his attack or even his sword, it was up to him.

These two techniques would undoubtedly become useful for him in the near future, so he began to look into the information to learn it. Although he didn't want to admit it, because he had gotten used to such excruciating pain, he could even do something like this even in the midst of pain. He didn't know whether to be thankful about it or not, so he distracted himself with the information while refining his body.

The refining process took a year and Alex's cultivation seemed to have improved again. When he finished his training, Alex gradually opened his eyes with a serious expression and looked at his hand. He purposely cut his palm with his nails until it bled, but a second later, the wound already disappeared.

"So, this is the true Undying Fire Body. External Injuries are not that much of a deal. Even if I lost a limb, I could regrow it by using this Body Refining Technique. Even Internal Injuries would get healed naturally far faster than anyone else.

"No wonder why this Undying Fire Body is so good. If I take another look at my cultivation, it seems I will be able to reach Rank 3 God when refining Sun Essence later." Alex smiled and rose from the bed.

He visited Lin Xingzhi about his success and told her that he would need more time because he had two more techniques to learn. In total, he might be away for three years, for the very least, so he left everything to her and asked her to contact him if an emergency happened.

Lin Xingzhi agreed and asked him to say goodbye to the others first before leaving. And there was a chance that the next tournament needed to be canceled because the situation had grown too hot.

Alex nodded, talked with everyone, and left Eulja.

Meanwhile, in the Palm God's planet, he and his wife sat on the floor, looking at Navin with a serious expression.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Navin?" Palm God asked.

"Yes, Master. I feel like this is the only way. Please let me do it." Navin lowered his head.

Palm God couldn't understand his request, but since he truly meant it, he could only agree. "I understand. If you need anything, you can contact my wife or me. We will try to help you."

"Thank you, Master."
