Gacha Sovereign
chapter-612

The evil smile on Alex's mouth made the spirits serious. They didn't know what Alex was thinking, but they had a gist of it.

"Do you know about Blood Gem? A shiny gem that can let the Black Devil Sect gain their current power." Alex asked.

'...' The spirits were speechless after hearing his question. They had expected this coming.

"Yes. I have seen that gem. It's a red-colored gem, with very powerful energy. The Black Devil Sect doesn't know how to use this gem and somehow only uses it as their source of power that lets them control the blood and turn them into Blood Pill and Berserk Pill." Narman affirmed.

"I wonder if you can steal that gem from them?" Alex smirked. He was planning to have Narman steal the gem and bring it to here. That way, he didn't need to destroy the Black Devil Sect first to finish his job here. At that time, Alex didn't need to visit this realm again.

"I am afraid I can't infiltrate that place. Although they are using it as a ritual or something, there will be around five Martial Monarchs there. Even if they put it back on their treasury, two Martial Monarchs will stay there with a Space Element Barrier covering the treasury." Narman answered honestly.

"I see. Space Element and Martial Monarchs. They are indeed hard to bypass. Besides, that barrier will certainly have the key. To get the key alone will require you to fight another Martial Monarch since there is no way that key will be given to a weak person." Alex let out a long sigh, knowing his plan had failed.

At first, he thought about summoning Nelson there and asked him to kill those Martial Monarchs. But they would be stopped when they encountered the barrier.

"Yes… The key is in their sect master." Narman confirmed another problem.

If they needed to kill their sect master just to get the key, it would be better if they killed the whole sect along with him. There were two reasons for that. First, by killing him, the entire sect might panic and do something unpredictable. If that truly happened, Alex needed to reconsider his plan. Secondly, there might be a probability where the sect master actually stayed alive until the reinforcement came.

At that time, Alex would need to recall Nelson because the plan failed. The real problem was after that. The Black Devil Sect might reinforce or do more preparation in their fight against him. He didn't need to make the enemy have a need to raise their strength unreasonably.

After thinking of those two reasons, Alex completely abandoned the idea. "Alright. We are going according to the plan and get that Blood Gem after exterminating the Black Devil Sect."

"Yes." Not only Narman, but the spirits in his room also shouted.

"Alright. We are done with this matter, I guess…" Alex nodded. After getting a nod from every spirit, Alex tossed Narman's card back to the Inventory.

"As for the next topic…" Alex fell into silence for a minute before saying, "I guess, since Rose will only be dangerous because of Blackwade Clan and Fire God Clan, I will know about the situation on Heavenly Continent first."

The spirits said no objection, so Alex took out Nicole's card and asked her. "Nicole. You are in the Blackwade Clan, right? How is your situation?"

"I haven't done many things other than observing the Blackwade Clan and trying to get into the successor's head," Nicole reported.

"Hmm?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows. "So, what is the status update there?"

Nicole paused for a moment and said. "Blackwade Clan is in the middle of preparing their force to hunt you down with Fire God Clan. The successor has been very suspicious about this and investigated it on his own. In contrast, he learned a few conspiracies between the first elder and the fourth elder, which lead to the controversial thing between you, the third elder and the fourth elder.

"He is then investigating the Blackwade Clan on the Heavenly Continent and has found something very controversial from the third elder's story. He slows down the preparation and somehow manages to slow it down for a few months.

"A few weeks ago, he had presented the problem with the Patriarch and the Grand Elder, but they declined his plea even though he knew they were in the wrong. The reason was simple, the living first elder and third elder are more important to the dead.

"In other words, they have truly given up the matter and just created prestige for themselves. After all, they can gain the trust of disciples and elders that they will protect them if they suffer from injustices."

"Hmm…" Alex furrowed his eyebrows. It would seem that this successor had some righteousness, despite it not fitting with the clan's way. It was easy to see that his effort actually would only lead to a conflict inside the clan and make it unstable. On the other hand, the Patriarch and Grand Elder were planning to sacrifice an outside (him) to get the stability inside the clan.

The last problem they needed to worry about was Spirit Nest's actual strength. They should have investigated him thoroughly before moving out. And the fact that the successor gave another few months for preparation, they should have finished their investigation.

Alex was wondering why they would act against him and what kind of thing they actually found about him. He could only imagine these two answers for the time being.

The answer to his second question would be nothing… Or at least, they would only trace him back as the disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect and have a disciple named Rose as well as a protege named Evelyn.

Luckily, Evelyn was taken care of by Manness, so even if they knew about Evelyn's existence, the only thing they knew would be Old Manness's disciple. As for Rose, Ngina was with her, so he could inform her when to hide.

The last problem would be his current situation. Looking at how he acted on this continent, they might find it sooner or later. No matter what disguise he used, they would know it was him since no one managed to create such a stir except for him.

"I see. The only hope to stop the Blackwade Clan is still in the hand of that successor. Nicole, I believe we should have the successor try it once more." said Alex with a cold tone.

"But how can we convince him? After convincing him, how can we convince the Patriarch and the Grand Elder?" Nicole asked.

"I'm planning to use my VIP Card to convince them," Alex said.

"!!!" Nicole gasped, never expecting him to suggest this.

"VIP Card itself came from the system in which I can fully control with the Inventory. Even if they somehow take this forcefully, we can take it back easily. On the other hand, showing the card will convince him because no one could prove the card's existence.

"In other words, I want you to present the card to him, but don't let him check it. We can then throw a few bluffs to make him believe this card is real… well, it's real though. At that time, you can just say you need to stop this first if you want the master of the card presented himself before you." Alex suggested a plan.

"Hmm…" Nicole didn't accept this task easily because it contained a huge chance of failure. She didn't want to promise him something she wasn't sure about. "I don't know if it will succeed, especially when I can't let him check the card… But I will try."

Alex also understood the risk. If he could let him check the card, the situation would be easier. But he wasn't sure what kind of problem this card would actually bring to him. Song Qiang said it might be something good, like having a certain power in the Blackwade Clan. Still, a power without strength backing it up, it would soon crumble from those power-hunger people.

He wanted to use it after arriving at the Heavenly Continent, thus resulting in his decision.

"I will try my best on this matter, but I can't promise you, Young Master. I hope you can forgive me."

"It's fine. I have given you a risky plan, so I have considered it. If we can't solve this matter, I will try to ask Old Manness about this." Alex ensured.

"That's right. We can still use the Drunken Pavilion as a threat. This will give us a higher chance of convincing him." Nicole flashed with enlightenment, coming up with a great plan that led her to convince the successor.

"By the way, how is the situation over there? Like, have you found Senior Sister yet or Letizia? And how about Evelyn's condition?" Alex asked.

"The general situation became pretty heated because of your existence. Nonetheless, they don't have a huge impact on the continent or whatsoever." Nicole answered his first question and thought about the second question, thinking of a way to explain without hurting Alex.

"You have the second answer, right? Just tell me about it?" Alex demanded an answer while preparing himself for the worst.

Hearing his words, Nicole took a deep breath and said, "Yes. We haven't found Song Yu yet, even though we have searched around the continent. I could say that her chance of being alive right now is pretty slim."

"I see." Alex bit his lips when he listened to the answer. The spirits closed their eyes as well, hoping Alex didn't act recklessly because of this.

"I will remember them first… First Elder and Third Elder of Blackwade Clan. When I'm strong enough that the Blackwade Clan can't oppose me, I will kill them." Alex said while releasing his killing intent.

"We, spirits, exist to fulfill your wish, so even if you want to ruin this world, we will surely destroy it," Nicole said sincerely. All of the spirits nodded their heads. They might say they exist to fulfill Alex's wish, but they only got it after Previous Life Alex saved them and gave them a reason to live.

Seeing how their king protected them, raised them, and protected them again to the point, he sacrificed his life was enough for them. Spirits were purer than humans, especially one in this world. They wouldn't betray Alex, who had done so much for them.

Alex couldn't say anything about her words and only swore that he would protect them with everything he'd got. "By the way, how about Letizia?"

"Letizia… Actually, we have found Letizia. Her pure element caught the eye of an elder who visited the Northern Continent. It turned out that the elder was the Grand Elder of Snow White Mountain. They are considered the same level as Blackwade Clan and Fire God Clan.

"However, she had yet to find out that Letizia had a full loyalty to Heavenly Oath on you. Letizia seemed to have no intention of revealing her relationship with you. The one thing I worried is if they know about the relationship, the entire Snow White Mountain might chase you and become the third influence that will fight us as of now."

"It's second. I believe you can convince the Blackwade clan." Alex smiled.

"Thank you for your trust, Young Master. I will try not to betray your expectation."

"As for Letizia… I don't know whether she doesn't want to say it or because the Oath binds her in her heart. Nonetheless, we can leave that aside for the time being." Alex nodded. "If we fight with Fire God Clan on Heavenly Continent, her intention will be clear."

"Understood." Nicole paused for a moment and said. "Then, the last information about Evelyn. I just got information from Ngina, who asked me whether they needed to hide or not. It seemed that Rose had made contact with Putri and Song Jia. As of now, she is acting carefully while increasing her strength."

"I see. At least, she has some peaceful time right now because it will soon turn chaotic." Alex nodded.

"Yes. I have reported everything to you, so I will take my leave and try to convince the successor."
