Gacha Sovereign-Chapter 1137: Winning in Everything
After witnessing her death, Alex closed his eyes for a few seconds before turning to Roy and the others with a calm expression. He cupped his hands and said, "I know that this is a bit unfair to claim my win, so I'm going to demonstrate the pill process. I think it will take only six hours, so if you're still interested, you should watch it. If I succeed, I will put it in the Auction Hall right away, where they will sell it tomorrow. That's all."
Firia understood his intention and Jeanne also finished torturing him until she feared pain more than his life, so she ended up killing him inside Alex's Space World.
Meanwhile, Firia already warmed the ingredients as if nothing happened before Alex released his Pure Fire to refine it together with her while summoning his Array.
Nothing out of the ordinary appeared again. Although Firia and Alex could only refine ten herbs at the time, the purity of each herb had been guaranteed by Alex's Pure Fire which could be considered the purest in the world.
In the end, Firia managed to refine everything and fuse them into a light-green pill. This was a 100 Medicinal Pill. It also had Perfect Purity and the fact that Alex's Fire refined it made this pill even more precious.
Even the elder claimed that this pill was a real pill that could detoxify any kind of poison no matter how weird it was.
The crowd cheered for both Alex's win and the truth Alex presented to everyone. It was an emotional rollercoaster for everyone, but they felt they knew what to do. Even though they hated each other, they couldn't ignore the fact that this universe was in danger.
As much as they wanted to kill each other, if the universe were gone, it would end up with nothing. Hence, they thought about putting their hatred down for a bit and searched for the enemies. In fact, they could even turn it into a rivalry to show that they were superior to them in case they found a trail.
Alex cared nothing of it and cupped his hand to the elders. "I have won."
The elders were bewildered and looked at each other, nodding their heads at the same time. Even without the show Alex put on or killing Roy, his main competition, there was no doubt that Alex and Firia deserved this victory based on their skill alone.
The other Rank 2 God elder finally stepped forward and announced. "This Pill Competition is Alexander Sirius and Firia Merona's Victory! The prize is ten billion Spirit Crystals and ten Rank 9 Medicinal Herbs. At the same time, he is allowed to go to the Medicine Vault to grab one herb that he wants."
"Uoh!"
Alex smiled and nodded. Ten billion Spirit Crystals was a big number, but his pocket was far deeper than anyone could imagine. As for ten Rank 9 Medicinal Herbs, it couldn't cover his loss. Luckily, Alex could get every single thing in Roy's Space Ring, so his loss was pretty much covered, considering Roy also wanted to refine the 100 Medicinal Pill.
Although it was a shame that no one won second and third places, they felt nothing but awe because there was no way they could compete against Alex and Roy even if they tried it. They just thought that today was their unlucky day and participated in the next one.
Alex, on the other hand, smiled and signaled Firia to follow the elder for the prize.
They waved their hands to the audience as they exited the hall, going toward the top floor where the herbs were stored.
Because of Alex's status, the elder acted politely, shocking everyone. But that action also gave away Alex's identity, which he didn't care about. He simply grabbed the last herb he needed for Undying Fire Body.
After that, he turned the pill in the Auction Hall before returning to the room.
Alex dropped to the couch while letting out a moan, "I'm tired."
"Haha." Firia chuckled and sat on the couch before putting Alex's head on her lap. "You've worked hard. Though I feel that you're tired because of that woman."
Alex closed his eyes and sighed. "I don't understand anymore."
"Well, let's change the topic. What do you want to do right now? Are you going to refine your body?"
"I'm not sure. Let me collect my thoughts for a bit." Alex contemplated and muttered all that he found today. "First, we have proved that the Dragon God and Phoenix Goddess are the traitors of the universe, so I'm sure that their lives will be miserable from this point on. The Phoenix Goddess's pet is also under constant onslaught from Lin Xingzhi, so I guess we can weaken them further.
"But I'm sure that this universe will become chaotic from this point on. I'm planning to take advantage of that chaos to push myself to the God King Stage. At the same time, Leoz might have become a God King and God of Wrath will have the same power as Life and Death Goddess.
"In other words, we have two Superior God Kings and one Inferior God King in our rank aside from Lin Xingzhi. I can still level up Anna in the process, allowing her to become another God King. If needed, Jeanne is qualified, I guess? I don't know since she is the only other former Rank 2 God Spirit.
"If you include me, in total, Eulja has six to seven God Kings alone. I'm sure that this strength is unprecedented since even in the past, there was not even a planet with more than three God Kings. Even Eulja only has three God Kings: the past me, the Fire God and Time God.
"Meanwhile, on the other side, they have two or three Bats and one Angel. If we think that each of them has a pet, it will be an additional four God Kings. Adding Phoenix Goddess, Dragon God, Earth God, and Battle God, they only have a total of twelve God Kings.
"Unfortunately for us, we know that we don't have enough fighting strength yet because the Holy God, the God of Destruction, and the Palm God hadn't reached that stage yet. My prediction… It will take three of them to handle two God Kings from their side.
"That's why the potential of God of Wrath and God of Destruction is priceless in this place… That's why I agree with Alaya's request to take in God of Wrath as her disciple." He ended his explanation with a long sigh.
Firia tilted her head in confusion. "I can somehow grasp seventy percent of them, but I don't think I can help you in any way."
"No. You have helped me enough." Alex shook his head with a smile.
On the contrary, Sullivan and William looked at each other, finally knowing why Alex seemed to be rushing this whole time.
"Anya, you heard me, right?"
[Yes. Anna has been telling me that she is ready to become a God King right now so she can consolidate her power for a longer time. But the decision is up to you.]
"Do you know how to operate the system?
[Ehm, let's wait for Sister Xingzhi to come back.]
"Alright. I will level up Anna after she and Lin Xingzhi come back." Alex nodded and lazily turned around to Jeanne. "That's it, Jeanne. I'm wondering if you have the interest to become a God King too?"
"Well, I have understood a bit of the concept after getting the lecture from Queen Lin Xingzhi. I have asked other Rank 2 Gods about their visions and somehow build a little bit of my understanding of Law. But… I'm not very confident to grasp that strength." Jeanne shook her head in disappointment. "Besides, Your Majesty will lose seventy to eighty percent of your Spirit Crystals the moment you increase Queen Anna's level."
"I will be using Eulja's money. Besides, in this current purge of another Divine World, we should have no problem getting one hundred billion Spirit Crystals. It means Eulja only needs to waste half their money for this. If we don't have enough money, I can even take a loan from the Blackwade Clan.
"I'm sure that the guarantee of protection from Eulja or even yourself alone for a period of time will be enough for Blackwade Clan to lend us the money. Though with the way Song Tao acts, he will send all the Spirit Crystals to me. Such a good guy… Even I don't have the heart to take advantage of that kindness." Alex chuckled.
Jeanne looked down and closed her eyes. She then dropped to her knees. "If that's the will of Your Majesty, I, Jeanne, shall follow it. In the future, I will earn enough money to pay you back."
"No need to think about it. Do you think it's hard for me to earn money?" Alex smiled. "That's right. I still have the revenue from the system… I will open it when we're back."
Jeanne then lowered her head until it touched the floor. "Jeanne wants… No, please allow Jeanne to become a God King."
"Granted." Alex smiled. "For now, you're to return to Eulja to prepare yourself and talk to Anya. As soon as Lin Xingzhi returns, I will start the process immediately."
"Understood, My King."
Anya knew what to do and asked Anya to summon Jeanne to her side, so they could discuss their advancement to God King.
"Huft. To think that the Dungeon God is even scarier than the past me…" Alex closed his eyes.
"I see. So that's how it is." Firia seemed to understand something.
"Yes. If the time allowed him, the Dungeon God could actually create an army of God Kings. He could use the Dungeon to see the potential of every person in the world who challenged it. Then, he could determine whether to use his resources to level them up.
"With enough loyalty, he could turn them into the retainers that allowed them to restart their cultivation, but with a chance of becoming a God King. It would take a long time, but it was a good method. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time to do this." Alex nodded. "Well, I can utilize it right now because of Lin Xingzhi's unconscious action to send the spirits to help me back then."
"Haha…"
"Anyway, I will send all of you back after getting the money. Then, I will search for a world or two to make a dungeon before refining my Undying Fire Body to the utmost limit. After that, I'm planning to absorb the Sun Essence and become a Rank 3 God."
Firia thought for a moment and let out a long sigh. "It seems I can't help you with my strength. Even when you reach God King, I will probably reach Rank 6 if not Rank 5 God. It's hardly enough to help you. And if we think about it, all your wives other than Anna, Silvia and Sister Xingzhi will be useless in this battle."
Alex never thought about that aspect because there was something he always believed in. He gently put his hand on her face and said with a smile. "I have never thought of you that way. You're a Highest Ranking Alchemist. Your pill will be useful in so many battles, helping the people needed.
"Alicia's Array Plates can also help lives. Sherry's Pure Fire and Letizia's Pure Ice will help us greatly in suppressing our enemies. Anya's support is as good as our Light Elemental God, while Rose's arrow can snipe every single enemy to reduce their number. Of course, Rose is not my wife.
"Evelyn right now also has Sacrificial Fire from Sherry, so she will also become a great support on the battlefield." Alex smiled. "Look! Wife… You all can help me, so please don't say you're useless or something? I have never thought of you that way and never married you because of that intention."
Firia closed her eyes, trying hard to stop the tears from falling.
"Thank you. Really thank you."
"What thank you? We all are family. A family will help each other without expecting thanks." Alex made a big smile.
