GACHA SOVEREIGN

"If you don't want your son to die, I suggest you leave this place and promise to never have any thought of getting me or harming this place."

When the cat princess saw what she did and recalled what happened a few years ago, she realized that this was still within Sherry's expectation.

However, there was one thing that Sherry or anyone in this Beast Kingdom knew.

It was the personality of the Array God.

He looked down as if he was shaken before shouting desperately. "No, don't kill him!"

In an instant, Sherry believed that she had gotten the advantage in this conversation.

"I only have two demands. First, throw away the thought of getting something from me. Second, never go to me again. Or I will kill your son!" She snorted.

"Dad! Save me!" Young Master Sun looked at his father desperately. If he had the ability to move, he would have raised his hand and struggled. The trauma he had when he faced her for the first time flashed in his mind, turning his personality upside down.

"Okay, okay. Young Lady, you should put him down first!"

"Enough! I need your Universe Oath in one minute. If not, I will torture him before your eyes!"

The Array God looked down as his expression darkened. He opened his mouth after considering everything in his head. "I understand. By Heaven and Earth as the witness, I, Sun Gong, promise…"

Sherry smiled inwardly as the others realized that no one could defeat Sherry among the princes and princesses in this term.

However, something unexpected happened. The cruelty of the Array God knew no bound to the point he thought nothing of her threat.

He continued the oath, but with a different context.

"Promise that I will destroy the Beast Kingdom, enslave Sherry, and take her Pure Fire. That's right. You said one minute, right? I will torture you and your kingdom first in one year before destroying it! I will show you despair!" The Array God smirked evilly.

Even Young Master Sun dropped his jaw as if he couldn't believe what he said, let alone Sherry, the Beast God, or any other people in this room.

"How about this?!" Array God simply pointed his hand toward Sherry before a stream of light shot out of his finger like a laser. It pierced the young man's stomach before hitting Sherry.

Sherry was blown away and rolled on the ground, but she still held the young master, knowing that this was her only bargaining chip, even though she knew it wasn't effective. She once again underestimated the cruelty of people.

Array God quickly waved his hand and pulled his own son out of Sherry's grasp before the Beast God shouted in anger as he charged toward the Array God. "You Bastard!"

"Hmph!" The Array God blasted him again.

Suddenly, just like how they never saw his cruelty, Sherry also held another trump card.

Before the light hit her, a shadow emerged and stopped the attack. A Dark Divine Energy enveloped the room, and its strength was capable of rivaling that of Beast God's.

Shadow came out of the ground next to her feet before a pair of black wings appeared on Sherry's back.

"Wha—" The Array God didn't see it coming and planned to attack her again. Even though he couldn't kill her due to that oath, he could see what she was hiding.

Suddenly, the shadow around his feet flew to the ceiling and hit the array that helped the Array God suppressed the entire room.

Without that array, everyone in this room could move their body again.

Just like how the Beast God had taught them the whole time about the family, they quickly appeared in front of Sherry… Everyone, except the young man who tried to sell Sherry off to their enemy.

"Ahaha…" The Beast God couldn't help but chuckle when everything happened before his eyes. It was amusing and scary at the same time. "Array God, that oath of yours might be your biggest regret. What do you want to kill me first or destroy this kingdom? Sorry, If you kill me or any other people here, the Beast Kingdom will be destroyed. In other words, you will be punished by the Universe Oath.

"At the same time, you couldn't destroy any building here because everything could be considered my Beast Kingdom. Luckily, this is what I am. It seems that becoming a good man will really pay off in your life or next life." The Beast God smirked.

Array God realized his mistake. If he didn't try to make them feel despair, he wouldn't be trapped in this situation. However, his biggest miscalculation was the fact there was something or someone hiding behind Sherry.

The Array God swallowed his pride and clenched his teeth as he turned around. "Mark my words. I will fulfill that oath. Before that, you will know what it means to be suffering under the suppression of my Divine World."

The Beast God smirked and harrumphed. "We will see. One year is enough."

"Hmph!" The Array God left the room in anger.

The atmosphere in the room gradually returned to normal as the black wings on Sherry's back disappeared along with the shadow.

The Beast God let out a long sigh, not because he was useless in front of Sherry, but due to one of his sons. The only one that didn't move to protect their own family no matter what the consequences.

He was indeed disappointed, but he felt deeply hurt by that action.

Shaking his head a few times, the Beast God turned to Sherry with a serious expression and asked. "Shery…May I know—"

Sherry simply shook her head. "I have decided to remain here for a year because I can see that all of you…Except for one, dared to protect me without thinking of the consequences. For that, I sincerely thank you, but in the future, I won't stay here."

She ended up looking at the boy who didn't move and kept mocking her. "One bad sure, couldn't represent all the good. However, the bad usually was more visible. That's my decision. If Beast God feels displeased, I won't say anything."

"…" The Beast God let out a long sigh. The reason why Sherry agreed to come with him was due to his and his family's reputation. They were watching out for each other and became famous with that principle.

Sherry believed that she could become a part of it and the Beast God also wished Sherry could genuinely become one of them. Yet, it was impossible now. "I can promise you that one year in the future, there won't be any more threat coming from the Array God. That's all. If you would excuse me…"

Sherry cupped her hands and bowed politely to the Beast God and the other princes and princesses, leaving the hall while ignoring whatever they tried to say.

She simply returned to her room.

On the contrary to her fierce appearance, as soon as she returned to her room, Sherry dropped on her butt and looked at the ceiling. She didn't know why but tears began streaming down.

She threw herself to the bed while hitting it. "Why… Why… am I so useless? I have tried everything and in the end, I will need to rely on him! Why! I am sick of being protected, I also want to be someone who can protect him!"

She felt frustrated because at the last minute, she really needed to rely on Alex.

Suddenly, a crow came out of her shadow and flapped its wing while sending a thought transmission. "Milady."

"Crow! I-I…" She cried.

The crow landed on the bed and looked at her. "This is also my blunder, Young Lady. I don't know that the Array God would have that kind of personality. Besides, you have done everything you can. Even at one point, I think you're gonna succeed."

"I don't need the process. In the end, if it can't succeed, it's useless!" Sherry shook her head. She looked at the crow. "You even needed to come out."

"I am the only bodyguard of the former Spirit God. It's my duty to protect you because you are in the most dangerous position. And as a Rank 2 God, I can confidently vouch that you and your skills are befitted to be a queen. Please don't beat yourself like that."

"What Queen? I am just a useless one who can't do anything alone."

"Milady, you are the first to reach Rank 8 Gods among your peers. You have understood the system of a kingdom, allowing even the Beast Kingdom to have more connections through you. If you are in Eulja, I believe that number will be multiplied.

"The way you behaved this whole time showed the pride of Eulja. And you wouldn't back down and plan everything accordingly to solve your own situation. To be honest, I would like to pledge my allegiance to you had I never pledged my allegiance to my king. That's why, please cheer up, Milady. As long as you can feel the frustration despite achieving many things, you can keep getting stronger and stronger. I believe that you will reach your goal in the future."

"Ugh…" Sherry kept crying in front of the crow. When she left Eulja, Lin Xingzhi sent the crow to protect her. She never knew it first until the crow presented himself in front of her. From that time, he had been teaching various things as if he was her teacher.

That was why she became even more disappointed in herself.

"There is one more thing. I am sure that Milady doesn't know this, but it seems my king has planned his coronation in one or two years. I don't know about his current condition, but this war might be the perfect time for his majesty."

"What do you mean?"

"My King is feared throughout the universe, but after leaving his position empty, many planets have been looking down on us, especially with how we are so passive. We only have one order from Korzan. It's to keep expanding and saving our strength. That's why after getting reduced to forty percent of our original power, not only have we restored to our former glory, but we have even tripled its glory.

"Still, there is one thing lacking for our Eulja. It's dominance. We need to show the consequences of provoking the Great Eulja like how the Spirit God did in the past. With Young Lady's effort, although unintentional, I believe that we can reinstate the glory which comes in a perfect time of my king's coronation. Hopefully, my king can reach Rank 5 God and finish his coronation as soon as possible."

"Are you saying that Alex will go to war?"

"Yes. For you, this might be a war to help you, but for my king, it's the war to assert dominance. With this, Eulja will become more united. That's why Young Lady might want to reach Rank 7 God as soon as possible because the time, where Eulja faces war one after another, will soon come."

Sherry gritted her teeth and asked. "What should I do?"

"I think Milady has the answer already. After all, you have grown to this level without my help."

Sherry clenched her fists and looked up. "I will create even more connections, starting from this Beast Kingdom to the lower level one, so when the time comes, we have enough people to go to war in the name of Alex. I am not too good with business, but I can improve the financial system a little bit. In the future, Alex wouldn't need to worry about money for war. After all, I have been eating money this whole time, I should know how to earn what I eat."

The crow nodded, feeling happy that Sherry had found a new determination.

"Thank you, Crow."

"It's a given. I am currently Milady's bodyguard and I never regret it."

Sherry smiled and took a few deep breaths. "To achieve that, I might need your help. Will you help me?"

"Of course."

Amidst her tears, a smile blossomed on her face, brightening the atmosphere in the room.

"Alright. I won't fail again this time."

The crow nodded with a smile. "May fortune be with you."
