Gacha Sovereign
chapter-982

Alex stood before Igor and the Undead King, Rhoas.

"May I know what the conditions are?" Rhoas asked.

"It's simple. I will give you a Divine World. Although it will take a while for you to get accustomed to it, it should have all the necessities you need. And no one will bully you. In exchange, you will strengthen our defense. I would like you to start inventing Rank 9 Runes, especially a Tower that can fend off God Rank Experts." Alex smiled, stating his first condition.

"I see. Are you going to use it to protect the territory?"

"Yes." Alex had been talking with Lin Xingzhi when he was on the way, so he knew the condition and Eulja's territory. He just needed to negotiate the terms to have a win-win situation.

"I can agree with that. The tower can also protect the surrounding planets. If you have enough resources to build many towers in the nearby planets, you can even create a huge Rune Formation that could fend off the enemies. For us, it's a kind of the protection that we need."

"That's my plan. It's like having a castle and a wall." Alex smiled before putting on the second condition. "The second condition is for all of you to follow the law of our territory."

"Law?" Rhoas thought for a moment. "I agree with that. It's your territory, so we should obey that. It's just…"

"Eulja has a different set of laws." Alex smiled.

"But the law is still the same, right?" Rhoas, Igor, and Atlas were shocked.

Alex closed his eyes and asked. "Do you know what is the true essence of law?"

"Hmm?" Rhoas tilted his head and recalled his laws. "A tool to govern our subjects with punishment."

"No." Alex shook his head and looked at his eyes. "Law is a wish."

"A wish?" This answer was unexpected. Even Rhoas, who had been leading the Undead for so long, couldn't comprehend or relate to him.

Alex took a while before explaining the whole thing. "Yes. A wish. A way to guide both a world and its people toward the ideal state that one envisions. After having people under you, what do you hope to happen to all the people living in your territory? How do you wish them to live their lives? What direction do you wish to take them?

"We don't want people to kill, so we create a law to not kill by using the tool called punishment. Of course, some experts understand this and try their best to do it. And I, Alexander Sirius, will be the one overseeing that the rule will be followed closely. This is my way to fulfill people's wishes and take care of their insecurity." Alex smiled.

Not a single one could contain their shock. Their jaws dropped to the ground, wondering what they just saw. They didn't know why but Alex was glowing in their eyes as if they just saw what the appearance of a true ruler was.

It touched upon the essence of their hearts.

Alex also felt happy when he saw this. If the king didn't even think about this and had a flat emotion, they might be a king that didn't care about their subjects. Seeing that all of them cared, they were considered good rulers too.

Rhoas seemed to have decided this and walked toward Alex before kneeling on one knee right in front of him.

This was followed by Igor and Atlas.

"I, Rhoas, will represent my race and bow down to my king. I shall spare no effort to fulfill the land that my king envisions."

"I, Igor, will ensure my brother will follow you, my king."

Lin Xingzhi kept smiling throughout the entire process. Despite knowing that he had many flaws, Alex still thought about his subjects. This was why many followed him. Considering the spirits were not like humans that were greedy for power and wealth, it could be achieved.

Loyalty was number one in Eulja, and Alex always kept his promise and moved forward. It moved everyone's heart, and the Spirit World then united and became feared by many."

Alex smiled and helped them up. "Let's move forward together."

Meanwhile, Aria just arrived a few moments ago. Although she only listened to a few things, she understood why people liked Alex. He had this unique charm that pulled people in, including her.

Yeah, Alexander's name also took part in this, but without his true nature, everything would be for naught.

"Ye-yes." The three smiled and nodded before Rhoas realized another matter. They just discussed the countermeasure for the agreement with the Unsurpassed Blade Sect and got deviated a bit. So, Rhoas stepped up and presented the problem. "My King. Actually…"

Rhoas explained the situation from his point of view. His version was more complete than Atlas's, so he could get enough information to think about something.

"What is your plan?"

"Evacuating the beastman tribe to either this continent or Dwarf's."

Alex thought for a moment and asked again. "How many people do you wish to kill?"

"We hope none, but there is aggression already, so we can't really let them away, no? According to the report, there are also many that want to help us, but we need towers to scare those who are lawless. So, I can't really say how many people will fall…"

"I see. Make sure you don't cross one-fifth…So, about twenty thousand." Alex nodded. "And I have an idea for you."

"Please tell us, my king."

"Have most of them go here and clean this continent, especially the mines and buildings. After that, teleport to the Dwarf's territory and clean that up as well. As for the one in beastman's territory, just destroy the tower and be done with it. You need to leave right away."

Rhoas understood his plan and added. "They can't attack us if we leave right away anyway, so there is no harm of them knowing this. Even if they call reinforcement or get people who are not bound by the agreement, we would have reached Your Majesty's territory."

"Yes. Since not a single person from your world could attack you, their only reinforcement would probably be from the nearby territories. But when I passed around the area, I didn't see any sign of living, so I thought you would be fine."

"I agree. The closest one here will need more than two weeks to reach us. We would have gone by that time." Rhoas nodded and praised Alex in his heart.

On the other hand, Alex knew why Lin Xingzhi wanted them. If it were another planet, she would have hesitated. After all, these people genuinely wanted to protect their people and wouldn't easily betray him, which made them perfect to be their vassal.

Besides, their Eulja was already weakened due to his long absence, so he agreed with them joining Eulja.

This would be a backup plan from his original plan, which used a few God Kings to protect their territories. After all, the original plan took too much resources and time, so he needed something like this first.

"I shall go back to my territory then." Igor bowed to Alex. "Please excuse me, my king."

"I will leave it to you." Alex nodded with a smile.

Atlas also knew his mission. He then bowed to Alex since he needed to leave too. "Please let me be the messenger to let the Dwarves know about this."

"Alright." Rhoas gave his approval too, so it should be fine.

With the two leaving this room, Aria, who had been watching them from the corner, finally walked toward them.

"She is…My Queen. I—" Rhoas misunderstood Aria because she followed Alex, so Alex stopped him from going to that hole and corrected him. "She is Aria, the one who has been helping me while I am in that world."

Aria politely clasped her hand before Leka leaped to his shoulder.

Rhoas also bowed his head like a gentleman.

At the very least, Aria didn't look that different after seeing undeads. He was afraid she would be making a fuss about it, but it seemed to be just his unnecessary worries.

"That's right. If possible, can you help me find her brother? You don't need to take him here or do something special. Just make sure you don't kill him."

"May I know his face? I can then ask my special team to search for him to ensure his safety," Rhoas asked.

Alex then fell silent, realizing that he had no picture or memory crystal. Even Aria couldn't draw his face or had his picture, so there was no way to give him what he wanted.

Suddenly, Lin Xingzhi came out and acted like her time had come.

[This is the time for me to shine. After this, you won't think that you hate your own privacy get breached!]

Alex was startled by the notification before recalling what the system did on his privacy.

[Check the Inventory!]

Alex instantly understood when he checked his Inventory. There was an image of Adrian that seemed to be freshly printed.

[I love technology.]

'I agree.' He nodded and took out the picture before handing it to Rhoas. "This is his picture."

Aria was surprised to see Alex have it, but the latter only grinned and said, "My own network."

Knowing that Njomo could follow anyone without knowing, she believed he could do something like this.

Meanwhile, Lin Xingzhi was teasing Alex about how he was angry about this privacy in the past.

[Hehe. I used the fact that I could see everything about you and store it inside. After that, I used that memory and took the picture before printing it. So, what do you think about this now?]

'Yes, yes. You win. If I didn't share any of this, we would be stuck. We can't really get any confirmation about Aria's brother. What do you want me to say?'

[I love you.]

'Love you too.' Alex scratched his head, knowing that he had lost.

When Rhoas had the picture, he shouted. "Guard!"

Another Undead came in and kneeled in front of him. He then handed the picture. "Ask Ganthu to mobilize the special team to search for this person and ensure his safety. Make sure he doesn't realize he is being protected."

"Understood." The guard nodded and left the room.

Rhoas then turned to Alex and asked. "What would my king do after this?"

"I don't know. I am planning to search for treasures. I mean, the mines should contain gems and other things too, right? I will take that since this planet will soon get occupied."

"Yes, I don't mind. It's better than giving it to them."

"Don't worry. You should remember her, right?" Alex pointed his finger at Leka.

Rhoas finally noticed and remembered.

Before he said anything, Alex continued. "I am planning to take her to bring me to the deep mines. According to Atlas, you can't really extract anything there, no? That's why I am planning to have her as my guide to get all the treasures from those buried treasures. I won't touch anything that you can touch."

Rhoas's expression turned serious, and he nodded. "It's not like we can do anything about it, so yeah, it's better to be in your hand rather than them. Besides, my King will give us a planet that has many resources, so it's already our win. Even if my king wants everything on this planet, we will offer it to you."

"It's fine. I don't need it. You can use that resource to make a new settlement in that world." Alex smiled.

"I understand."

"After that, I will probably enjoy the beach to sweep away my stress." Alex shrugged. "Of course, I will dedicate today to discuss your new planet with you."

"If you want to go there, I do have a few recommendations." Rhoas then turned to Aria. "Before that, I believe we should have a room for the young lady first."

"What do you think?" Alex asked.

"Sure. I will be a cultivation maniac in a cave later." She nodded.

"Yeah, yeah." Alex shrugged.
