Gacha Sovereign
chapter-611

Alex, Nelson, and Zekhram entered the so-called control room.

Alex already had no expectation about the machinery or maybe a high-tech engine and touchable projection screen. Nonetheless, it still piqued his curiosity to see what kind of control room the spaceship had.

Inside the room, precisely in front of him, stood a small podium. The podium had a golden leg and a head like a trophy.

Zekhram quickly explained what this golden podium was upon noticing Alex's gaze. "This is the Golden Podium. We put the Blood Gem in this bowl shape hat, and the ship would be up. Although it might be a little unusual for you, specifically about how actually a Blood Gem had enough power to power the entire ship…

"The answer is actually pretty simple. The Blood Gem might not have an attack or defend technique despite being a peak rank 8 item. However, the amount of energy that it can hold is actually close to those Divine Items."

"..." Alex thought for a moment and felt it was possible. He might haven't seen a Divine Item, but his knowledge alone could show him how mighty a Divine Item was. "I see. The energy is more than enough to cover the weakness of this item… In fact, it somehow enhanced the item even further. It might not reach the Divine Item level, but it was close. What is it? Semi-Divine Item?"

Alex recalled his memory for a bit and nodded after finding the name. "Yeah, Semi-Divine Item."

Zekhram also nodded in agreement. "Anyway, we can put the Blood Gem here. Then we can look at the other spots."

Alex nodded and observed his surroundings. It was mostly made of translucent metal as a replacement of glass in his mind. However, blue lines on the floor piqued his interest, making him trace the blue line.

This blue line's head was connected to the golden podium while the tail was connected to a box. It was quite a big box with a giant keyhole on it.

"Atlas must have entrusted a key for you. This key is to let you choose whether we are qualified or not, especially when we ask you to run through all of this process when your initial goal was a simple Energy Fusion." Zekhram said with an embarrassed tone.

"Actually, we want you to know about us better to know that we are, in fact, not battle loving races. It is so we can prove that we don't seek chaos and just want to go home."

"..." Alex narrowed his eyes. Although it looked like he was telling the truth, he couldn't trust his words yet.

"In any case…" Zekhram shook his head first before continuing. "That hole over there is to plug in the key. It's to let us fly the ship… The key would trigger the energy from the Blood Gem and channel it through the entire ship."

Even Zekhram's knowledge was only to a certain extent. The real person who was one of the builders of this ship was his grandfather. The grandfather then passed his knowledge to his father, which the latter also passed it to him. Nevertheless, there was bound to be some knowledge lost in the process, so he was also a bit unsure.

"I understand." Alex nodded. After knowing about the ship, Alex felt he had nothing to ask anymore as his curiosity had all been answered.

Noticing his expression, Zekhram nodded and asked to confirm it. "Do you have anything more to ask?"

"I don't have." Alex shook his head. "Though, I wish to have a space to recover my energy."

"Sure, I will lead you to the room." Zekhram nodded.

They left the ship, returned to Zekhram's study room, and walked to a special build room. In this room, there was a kind of material that absorbed all the mist and erected a barrier to prevent the smell from coming in.

"This is your room."

Alex checked the room with his Spirit Eyes to see if there was anything hidden inside the room. It seemed that his worry was unnecessary, so he entered the room with Nelson.

"Then, I will leave." Zekhram closed the door and walked back to his Study Room. He took out a letter behind a bookshelf and opened it.

'If you don't have anyone liberating the cursed barrier that prevents you from leaving, there will be a certain person that will liberate it. He will come with a sword and a spear that I made today.

'As soon as that person comes, you must treat him as a friend, not an enemy. In case you treat him as an enemy, there won't be any hope for you to come back home. In fact, you might even die.

'I, Teodross, promise you that you will only get benefit from this. At that time, the three races should meet him and become his friend. No matter what you do, you will need to become his friend.'

Zekhram let out a long sigh after reading the message from thousands of years ago. This was a message that had been preserved from his grandfather's generation. He looked at the ceiling and muttered to himself. "Is this really the right thing to do? I can see his power that is beyond measure, but… I can only believe in him… No, we can only believe in him as he will be the only one that can help us from this situation. Besides, that handsome shadow man actually knows about our real identity… Who are they really?"

Similar to him, who was discussing things with himself, Alex also discussed their course of action from now on. He rushed to this place after his training, so he never knew any information from his spies. Hence, he summoned every single spirit and took out all N Squad cards, planning to have a thorough discussion.

"I want to discuss it with you guys when we are inside this realm, but I have been going back and forth, so I'm sorry." Alex let out a hollow laugh.

"We understand." Anna nodded with a smile. "Since all of us here, we should discuss everything from the start. Where should we start?"

Alex thought for a moment and glanced at Anya, who gave him the authority to decide. "I will go with our future course in this realm. As you already know that we are currently facing a certain issue where I need to go back and forth… If I'm not making an excuse like this, I might even meet the three rulers in a day. Hence, I need time to think about our future course."

"You are right. This place seems to be civil." Anna nodded.

"Yeah. The problem is whether we will actually leave this place and leave Alex here alone… might be with Nelson, or continue staying inside his card." Anya presented the problem out loud.

The spirits thought for a few minutes.

Leoz gave the first answer, "It's better if we leave this place and kill some monsters. To be honest, we can start killing some Black Devil Sect members if they aren't holing up inside the sect."

Anna and the others agreed with his thought. They only thought it this way because they also knew these three races like Nelson. Only Alex was actually clueless that the three races were, in fact, from a world that never fought.

Yet, they also couldn't tell him about it right away because they were unsure what kind of influence it would bring to Alex. The worst case, he might become overly conscious of his past, and his personality might change. This was what everyone did not want to see.

On the other hand, clueless thought about their choice carefully and gave them a 'go.' Alex thought for a moment and looked at Anya. "You will be in charge of them. Make sure you don't do anything reckless. If the Black Devil Sect locks themselves, just pull back and wait until I'm done. Besides, Stina, Sherry, and Kyle will be with me in the later part."

"Understood. We are going to kill monsters most of the time, so you don't need to worry." Anya nodded with a smile.

"Yeah." Alex nodded. "Alright. Time to get more outside world information. I have practiced for two months before entering here, there should be some shift on the continent."

"Which one do you want? We can ask Narman for the situation on Sacred Continent, we can ask Ngina about Rose and ask Nicole about Heavenly Continent. You choose." Anna replied.

"Hmm… We are basically on the Sacred Continent, so we are going to ask Narman." Alex nodded. He asked for information on this timing because there might be a change in the future course after knowing them. It would be better if they could prepare first.

Taking out Narman's card, Alex asked. "Narman, how is the situation over there?"

"As we have expected, the Northern Continent has a great change. First of all, there is an alliance between many second-rate influences to oppose the Black Devil Sect. The Ancient Blue Family doesn't dare to help the Black Devil Sect, because the loss outweighs the gain.

"Although there is nothing concrete in the rumor around this alliance, I have found out that the three influences actually band together and give their support of the second-rate alliance to pressure the Black Devil Sect.

"The Black Devil Sect put up a fight, but as long as there are still us in the dark, they can't do many things. The alliance takes this chance to suppress the Black Devil Sect. Considering how brutal the Black Devil Sect acts in this continent, they gather a huge amount of followers. Even many rogue cultivators decide to join this alliance.

"For the other three influences, they are happy if the Black Devil Sect is out of the picture. They know the agreement between Black Devil Sect and Ancient Blue Family will crumble if the former is destroyed.

"They are also trying to search for any information about us, but to no avail. I'm not too sure about the Ancient Blue Family, but I believe they have sent some information to their main family. You can ask the details about them from the others.

"As for the Black Devil Sect itself, they are currently hiding in their sect. There is no movement from them.

"The alliance also doesn't dare to antagonize the Black Devil Sect so much because they know how scary it is to face the full brunt of an angry Black Devil Sect with their Berserk Pill. Although we have killed around thirty percent of their people or cut down sixty percent of their power, they are still formidable if all of them are fighting to the death.

"That's why I'm assuming the alliance is waiting for you to make a move before they even move." Narman finished his report.

Alex fell into silence, pondering over all the reports before he suddenly smiled with a certain evil intention.
