Taken aback by this surprise attack, the phoenixes began crying, signaling them to fight back.

Alex only smiled as he used his Pure Fire to the utmost limit to see whether he could suppress them or not.

The moment the Golden Fire showed its might, the Fire Spirits or even the Fire God's God Beasts started feeling the pressure and ended up lowering their heads. And Alex didn't even mean to suppress them.

This showed how much Alex's Sun God Fire could affect Fire Element users.

As one would expect, the Phoenixes also experienced the same thing. They suddenly felt their fire get taken away from them as if they couldn't do anything in front of the absolute monarch. Still, it seemed that because their strength was equal to Godly Pure Fire, those above Rank 4 Gods managed to resist Alex's suppression.

Alex channeled a bit more of his power to stop suppressing his ally and pressuring his enemies.

"Ten God Beasts are to deal with the Rank 4 Gods or above. The rest will eliminate all those phoenixes who can't do a single thing anymore."

"Uoh." In an instant, they already knew that this battle would be over in an instant. There were ten Rank 2 Gods among them, but they were simply overpowered by Lin Xingzhi and the others.

After knowing their fate, the phoenixes tried to escape either to the top or below them, but Alex and Lin Xingzhi intercepted them in two opposite directions.

There was no mercy at all. Even though his suppression couldn't go too far, he still managed to kill around fifteen thousand phoenixes under the suppression, minimizing their casualty.

The battle lasted for two hours before all phoenixes died floating in outer space like a normal bird.

"Haha, the battle was pretty anti-climatic." Lin Xingzhi laughed as she visited Alex after everything was over.

"It's good to feel this anti-climatic. I don't want to waste our resources and to see dying spirits tore my heart." Alex shook his head with a serious expression. "How is our force?"

"A few hundred have fallen… Well, I think it's around three to four hundred. If there is no suppression, we might have lost more than two thousand spirits since the Phoenix Sun Fire is so powerful."

"In any case, this will be a huge blow for the Phoenix Goddess. After all, she must have prepared this to add her personal army to get twenty Rank 2 Gods. This is extremely dangerous since the other weapon must have created it as well."

"Ah?!" Lin Xingzhi widened her eyes, never expecting this. "Fair enough. If we think it like that, there will be double the number from that war five thousand years ago. This is going to be a little rough since we have killed the snake but haven't found its army."

"Yes. There is a possibility of them coming out later, so I want to make our number equal first."

"So that's why you want us to attack the phoenixes here?"

"Exactly. Unfortunately, it seems they are going to hide the Bats until the last moment, so we don't have any hope. For now, search for the dragons and angels. We need to kill them as soon as possible."

"I understand. But we don't have their information about them at the moment… Only them."

Alex smirked. "What are you saying? Don't we have good bait?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Lin Xingzhi tilted her head, not understanding his intention, before she looked at the phoenix corpses floating in outer space. "Now I see."

"Yep. Carry all the Rank 2 Gods and destroy the rest." Alex nodded with a smile and changed the topic. "Since I'm with you guys, I will continue my practice in Eulja since this universe will undergo a huge tribulation soon."

"I understand."

Alex thought for a moment. "Now, I am wondering what I should do right now… I mean, I have done everything I can until this point. I don't have any more goals until I reach Rank 2 God."

"Hmm…" She thought for a moment and shook her head helplessly. "I also don't know what to do at this point. You may need another two to three years just to reach Rank 2 God if not more, because you have gathered all the herbs. The only way to make another breakthrough will be another Divine Medicinal Herb that is equivalent to White Ash Pill."

Alex thought for a moment and sensed ten presences coming to him.

"Spirit God."

"Oh." Alex smiled and turned around, looking at the ten God Beasts before him. "I'm glad that everything is settled without any problem."

"Yes. Thank you for fulfilling our wish, Spirit God."

"It's fine. I hope that you all can help me in our next fights again."

"Don't worry. We won't rest until that beast dies, Spirit God."

Alex nodded with a smile. "I understand. No one should know about all of you yet, so I think you need to hide for the time being until the time we fight together again."

"Yes. We will quickly disappear from the battlefield. If you need anything, please contact us again."

"Thank you." Alex waved his hand with a smile, looking at their backs as they left the battlefield. He then turned to Lin Xingzhi, "Anyway, do you have any suggestions for my training?"

Lin Xingzhi thought for a moment. "Since you can only start cultivating your Law… not related to an enlightenment when you have reached Rank 2 God, then I only have two suggestions for you."

"Hmm? I'm listening."

"Let's take a look at your repertoire. Fire, Space, Sword, Spear, Array, and Alchemy. Among those, you have perfected your Space, Array, and Alchemy. And now you are aiming for your Fire Element Arts, right?"

"Yes."

"Then how about making a move for your Sword and Spear?"

"What do you mean by not perfect? Oh, wait. I think I know." Alex came to a realization and looked down, thinking about it. "The Sword and Spear Qi are not fused yet. I have been using them this whole time and forcefully fuse them with my intent. However, I should complete it like my intent."

"Exactly. Because you have been busy with other things, I'm sure you forget that your sword and spear are your very first foundation."

"I know. I think I will return to the Sword God's Pavilion to meet her again to talk about this and make sure that nothing goes wrong. After all, other than me, she has the most in-depth knowledge about weapons."

"Sure. You can do whatever you want."

"What is the second suggestion?" Alex asked.

"You can just go treasure hunting, eating all kinds of medicinal herbs you have found or turned them into pills to increase your strength." Lin Xingzhi smiled.

"Leka!" Alex widened his eyes, remembering the small cute mouse he met during his training.

"Yes. You have never taken her out since the last time. Well, she has understood your situation this whole time, but I think you should go somewhere with her along with those three weapon spirits. They all love adventures, right?"

"I see. I will do it then until I reach Rank 2 God." Alex nodded. "I will try to reach Rank 2 God within two to three years. I believe that's a perfect time to start another war against them."

"Yep."

Alex nodded with a serious expression and waved his hand. "Let's return then."

…

Three days later, something big happened, especially among the alliance.

They gathered once again and talked about it. Sitting on the main seat was none other than the Phoenix Goddess, who was in the middle of this entire problem.

Next to her was a Dragon God, Earth God, and Battle God.

"Spirit God! You Bastard!" The Phoenix Goddess slammed the table. Her face was twisted. If Alex were here, he would have been messed up by the Phoenix Goddess in all kinds of torture.

"Phoenix Goddess, you need to calm down. I understand that you have lost your army, but we need to calm down." The Dragon God calmed him down.

"Do you think I can calm down? He has massacred the entire population of mine." The Phoenix Goddess roared as her fire emerged from her body, pressuring every single of them. However, this also showed her anger toward Alex and the others also knew it.

"Tch." The Earth God thought for a moment and said, "With this, we have lost more than we predicted. And the Supreme King still needs a long time to come out of that seal. Won't this mean we're screwed up?"

"Do you think our Supreme King hasn't predicted something like this? He has. He has given the arrangement for the Angel to fix this situation. What we need to worry about is how to stop the Spirit God." The Dragon God shook his head helplessly."

"We need to kill him!" The Phoenix Goddess kept spouting about it because of her anger.

However, the Earth God ignored her and replied to the Dragon God. "In that case, we can focus on the Spirit God. How about luring him inside a place? Although the Bats and the Angel aren't ready yet, we still have the advantage against the Spirit God and his alliances."

"Indeed. Still, it also means we are risking our lives since our position will be exposed. I'm sure that the Spirit God will take that chance to attack us."

"I know, but you need to know if we want to stop them, the only way is to hit the Spirit God. Dealing with allies first may lead us to another ambush since they're the obvious targets."

"But this may be the real intention from the Spirit God… What if when we plan to do this, the Spirit God is laughing?"

"…"

They couldn't come to an understanding because Alex's manipulative mind had yet to be deciphered by them. They simply couldn't comprehend why Alex was able to make all of these unpredictable moves.

"If that's the case, how about we take it one step further? We will order our army to go toward a certain planet where we set up an ambush. The Spirit God will surely show up at that point, so it's the time for one of us to go toward his planet and destroy them while the rest of us keep him there.

"Of course, we just need to buy time until everything is over. Other than our soldiers from our human form who will die, I don't think we will lose that much. What do you think?"

They looked at each other and agreed with this plan.

"That way, we can smear the Spirit God's reputation too. We need a careful plan for this and the preparation may take years."

The Phoenix Goddess slammed the table and said, "I will do it. As long as I can see the Spirit God fall into despair, I will do everything."

"How about we make him go to another planet first as a build-up?"

All of them suddenly came into a realization as they began planning about their trap, trying to force Alex into despair. They prepared to do anything to make sure that this plan was foolproof.
