Gacha Sovereign
chapter-893

Inside the courtyard, Alex was sitting on a bench with Lin Xingzhi, watching how the sky far away from him brightened in red.

"A bonfire?" Alex asked while sipping his wine on that couch, relaxing his body from training.

"Indeed. Beautiful, isn't it?" Lin Xingzhi nodded.

"Just for entertainment purposes, yes, it's beautiful. But when you know many people died there, it's not."

Creak.

Someone pushed open the door of their courtyard and searched for them.

Alex glanced at his left, finding two women walking toward him.

"Stina, Ellen."

"Master." Considering Ellen also had turned into Alex's contracted beast, she also started to call him Master.

"Is that Kyle?" Stina glanced at the flash in the dark sky.

"Yeah. Do you think I am too cruel?" Alex asked with a poker face. "There are many people who have nothing to do with this, but I have decided to kill them."

"It's how we have been surviving this whole time. It's the usual thing, so why should I think about it?" Stina shook her head. "I am just thankful that Master only let Kyle do this to the two that are attacking the phoenixes. I will feel weird if you ask him to destroy this world itself."

"Nah." Alex shook his head while adding inwardly. 'If I am someone like that, I might kill all the Devils in that world before returning to Eulja because many Devils are going to be involved after the elimination of the Green Devil Tribe.'

"In any case, as long as Master is fine, I am fine too." Stina nodded.

He stared at her expression for a while and let out a long sigh. "Anyway, let's move on to the next topic. How are you, Ellen?"

"Thanks to Master, I have got a second chance to do this. Mother also has told me about many things, including about Father. Ellen is very thankful to Master."

Alex sighed. Looking at her, the previous Supreme suddenly popped out in his mind as he furrowed his eyebrows.

'Now that I think about it, my previous self didn't seem to go to this world without a reason! And the upper world where I trained to God Stage was the same. He must have gotten the foresight about the future and laid down all the groundwork.

'The Supreme and other people… The problem is… There are numerous possibilities, right? How can he be so sure I will be going here?

'No. Should I say that is the reason why I was born on Earth after five thousand years? He must know that the only place I would go was Agar World. And from that world, I didn't have any other world to go to except Moose World, the upper world.

'Everything now makes sense. He had calculated everything and laid the groundwork. In fact, it might be the reason why the Supreme seemed to have expected me to come.' Alex fell silent for a few minutes as he once again admitted defeat to his previous self. 'I really can't waste this life…'

Alex became a bit more fired up when thinking about this.

"Alex?!" Lin Xingzhi tilted her head in confusion.

"Ah, I am sorry. It's nothing." Alex shook his head before continuing. "Anyway, I am glad you are alright, Ellen. Don't need to care about the burden as my contracted beast and just live your life freely."

"Yes. Mother has said the same thing." Ellen smiled and bowed to him. "Still, as long as you are here, I shall serve you as much as I can."

"For now, I think you should calm the entire castle because they are worried about you."

"You don't need to worry. I have made a statement for that, and the elder who came with you will help me spread the information. The situation will become calm soon… Maybe in two or three days."

"In that case, I won't need to worry and enjoy my stay here."

"Please." Ellen raised her hands as if she was checking them. "Actually, my strength has returned to Martial King due to Master's ability. And the power is consolidated well. I shouldn't have a problem achieving a breakthrough to Martial Emperor soon and regain my former cultivation. If it's strength, I believe the me now is stronger… Well, only after I reach 1-Star Martial Emperor that I will have enough strength to surpass my previous self."

"That's good."

"Thank you."

"Still, I am wondering what is happening there…" Alex turned around and looked at the horizon.

…

"Ah! Save me!"

"Kill him! Hurry up!"

"Attack!"

Many wails echoed in the city, containing hatred in their voices. The fire was everywhere, razing everything to the ground and reducing humans into ashes whether they were innocents or not.

Kyle stood tall above the city, watching how his fire extinguished these many humans. He saw many guilds appearing one after another, followed by the royal guards and the king.

They looked at Kyle standing above with a terrified expression. They had been fighting him for an hour, but nothing could hit him.

He suddenly disappeared.

The next thing they noticed was the sound echoing in their ears as they lowered their vision, finding Kyle punching the ground.

Cracks started to appear and spread all over the city. The city itself was around twenty kilometers in radius, but it was swallowed by a crater made by Kyle's punch, sinking the city.

"What is this ridiculous power?!"

The humans were terrified.

Kyle looked around to search for two people. The first one was a woman with two elements.

As soon as he found her, he appeared in front of her while releasing his killing intent. "You are Lilian, Master's former comrade. I will give you two minutes. Leave this city along with your guild, and no harm shall fall upon you. If not, then everyone will die here!"

"You—" Lilian gritted her teeth. She was the one accompanying Alex during his stay in this world. Never once a scene like this appeared in her mind. 'Why?!'

"Master treasures his friend, so leave. And the reason why Master didn't reduce this kingdom to ashes in the past was simply that he gave them mercy. Unfortunately, they didn't treasure it and attacked my daughter." Kyle snorted and flew again, ignoring anything she said.

He then grasped the king's neck as soon as he found him and floated right in the middle of the city.

"Who are you?!" The king tried to resist him, but everything he did couldn't affect Kyle. He grabbed his hand but couldn't move it too.

"You cut my daughter's wing and fought against the phoenixes, and you are asking who am I?" Kyle released his fire, burning the king starting from his feet, slowly raising to his legs and body.

"This is just a misunderstanding—"

"And this misunderstanding results in this catastrophe. No matter what you say, nothing will change right now. You and everyone in this city will die." Kyle's fire rose to the sky before creating a giant phoenix above them.

Cry.

The phoenix let out a loud cry, making one feel chill all over their body.

"I haven't used this for a long time, but this is my current strongest technique." Kyle released the phoenix as it dove down right to the center of the city. "Phoenix Descent."

The entire city brightened as it was engulfed by a giant explosion. Ruby had felt danger and brought everyone in her guild to escape, but when she saw this, complicated feelings crept into her heart. But more importantly, she was confused.

No one could predict someone as strong as Kyle would attack this city under Alex's name.

If his servant was this strong, how strong he is right now?"

The question would remain unanswered forever because those who saw the city reduced into ashes in a single technique feared him to the point they trembled to just even hear his name.

After the human's city, the Elven Kingdom became Kyle's next target.

He exactly did the same.

Torching the tree, burning the entire city, and bringing the king as if they were in the middle of a trial. But no one was lucky enough like Lilian and her guild.

Every single elf in this place died under Kyle's merciless fire. Even the world tree turned into charcoal.

Only despair, fear, unwillingness, and… regrets filled their heart. They had heard about the war obviously, but none stopped it.

Because of that, doom descended upon them.

Kyle took a deep breath as he finally calmed down, looking at the city he just burned.

"My job here has finished, but I still need to kill those soldiers that are camping around the continent and end this." Kyle sighed and disappeared, heading back to the Phoenix Continent.

…

Far away from the two kingdoms.

The priest that guided Alex to the human's town stared at the glowing sky outside his house. He let out a long sigh as his eyes glowed as though he was possessed by someone.

"The humans have decided to smear the king's name… And invited the doom upon themselves. Whether the human will go extinct after this or not, I can't do anything. The same applies to Elves… Well, considering they have planted many spies on all continents, I am sure they won't go extinct. Anyway, let's make this your punishment from inviting God's Wrath."

He closed his eyes, recalling a scene where he presented himself in front of the king to stop him from doing something stupid.

Three years ago.

Inside the throne room, the priest walked on the red carpet.

"I welcome you, the priest who guided the Supreme, Alexander Sirius."

"It's my honor to meet you, Your Majesty." The priest bowed and greeted him like a noble. Even though he was a human, he didn't have any more loyalty due to him living in that place for too long.

The king frowned and misunderstood him, thinking that the priest was actually arrogant because he once guided Alexander Sirius. However, he tried to suppress his killing intent and asked. "I would like to ask one question."

"Your Majesty… If you are thinking about attacking the Phoenix Continent, I implore you to stop thinking about it right now. The moment you attack the Phoenix Continent, the consequences will be too high for you to handle.

"At the same time, you shouldn't harm the people he knows because they are his treasures. And their relationship is not something like 'I have them as my hostages, so you should follow my command.'

"Instead, it's something like 'That you better do. If anything were to happen to the ones he knows, you will be the first one made to answer. If there is even one scratch on them, this entire country will be made to answer…'

"I don't mean to threaten Your Majesty, but that's what the World's will told me. I swear that I don't say anything other than the truth." The priest bowed his head.

"Wha-!"

"How dare you?!"

The ministers started causing a ruckus, but the king immediately stopped him.

"Wait!" The king released his killing intent as he snarled. "Just you wait! Now that I have gotten the crystal that can let me increase my strength, I will make sure he regrets it when he comes back here! One human can't handle the relentless attack from a kingdom. No one shall kill him! I will show him that I will stand at the top in this battle, and I will decimate those phoenixes! Mark my words!"

The priest stared at him without any expression and bowed his head again, turning around and leaving the throne room.

…

The priest then opened his eyes again as he let out a long sigh, watching how the World Tree turned into a bonfire, and the human castle changed into a grill.

"What you are challenging is not a human, foolish humans. You are challenging the scariest God out there, Alexander Sirius." The priest let out the last sentence before the glow dimmed down, and he regained control of his body.

He clapped his hand and prayed. "Oh! Please forgive those innocent people that have their fates tied into this corrupt kingdom. Let those humans that are currently in another continent know what people mean by fear and harmony, so they won't suffer another catastrophe like this again."
