GACHA SOVEREIGN

One Slash, Anna killed the Water God. Despite being arrogant, the Water God didn't seem to be that strong. He might just want to put them down, so they thought he was strong. However, Anna and Jeanne knew they were weaker than him and couldn't win against him if they were alone, hence, they had no problem coordinating with each other just to kill him.

Anna straightened her back after killing the dragon and took a deep breath to calm her heart down. She felt tired. Her "Intangible Darkness Cut" took so much Divine Energy every time she used it, so she felt she had no power left to fight against them.

"Jeanne, how are you?" Anna asked, checking Jeanne's condition. She believed Jeanne was in a worse state than her since she changed her attribute at the last moment.

Jeanne spat a mouthful of blood and dropped to her knees, feeling weak all over her body. She had been holding back this whole time to make a strong appearance. Now that there was no threat, she felt everything left her body.

She looked at Anna and shook her head. "I think I will be fine. There are some internal injuries, but nothing will destroy my cultivation or anything. So, you don't need to worry. How about you?"

Anna smiled and answered, "I'm fine too. Other than several external injuries and exhausted Divine Energy, I have nothing else."

"That's good. Let me collect our loot first." Jeanne chuckled and grabbed all of them while asking, "Do you think you can fight another one?"

"No, I don't think I can." Anna shook her head. "I will end my battle here and probably join the army to supervise everything. Besides, you should come with me, so Silvia can check your body."

"Our doctor eh." Jeanne thought for a moment and sighed, "Yeah. I probably need to come with you. Although there's no recognition yet, I should start being polite to her since Master is going to marry her."

"Haha, you just need to act like normal." Anna chuckled before teasing her. "By the way, how about becoming one yourself? Pfft, the tenth spot is still open."

Jeanne smiled and shook her head. "I don't think I am qualified."

"Well, there are several people fighting for that spot. Hmm, let me check, there are Aria, Rinrin, Carissa, and Rubia. I wonder who he will choose…"

"Master won't choose anyone in my opinion. It's just a hassle." Jeanne shrugged before looking at the north, "I wonder if Master is alright."

"Well, you need to worry about others instead."

As Anna said, there were five other big battles occurring in this area. Unlike their fight, these five were one versus one, so it was impossible to get a number advantage. That was why Lin Xingzhi only sent the strongest ones among them.

And the first one was none other than the God of Wrath, Marcus, and Earth God.

Marcus's Wrath had been soaring this whole time as he glared at the Earth God, who had transformed into a giant black bear like the Battle God.

"Hahaha, to think we would have to meet again, God of Wrath." The Earth God laughed uncontrollably, but Marcus could feel the mocking intention behind that laugh.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "You're going to pay for what you have done today. I'm not the same anymore."

"Yeah, yeah. Unfortunately for you, I don't think you're qualified to fight me. That's right, do you know how the Goddess of Destiny died? When I was about to torture her, she somehow managed to explode her body. To think she would choose the easy way out…" The Earth God laughed. "I never thought she still had that much energy after using everything to let you escape."

Marcus gritted his teeth and released his killing intent. "You scum."

The Earth God laughed and summoned a giant asteroid above him, launching it like a bullet toward Marcus. "This is how I killed your people! They loved meteor showers, right? I gave it to them! Hahaha, they hated the thing they loved right before their lives ended. It's hilarious."

"I don't know if you know about it or not, but since you've angered me, I will let you taste what it means." The God of Wrath became even stronger due to the soaring anger.

The Earth God seemed to know about it as well and purposely provoked him for whatever reason.

Hence, Marcus released all his power and controlled it to cover his fist. Seeing the purple black colored flame on his fist, Marcus jumped forward and struck the giant asteroid with his power, swallowing it and melting it like the previous one when they were still together with Alex and the others.

Surprisingly, the meteor this time was slightly different. The moment it shrunk a little bit, spikes emerged from the asteroid like a sea urchin and came out of the God of Wrath's power, thus popping out the balloon like power.

"!!!" Marcus widened his eyes in shock and got hit by the giant asteroid until it crashed to a Lower World, creating a giant crater that was easily visible from outer space.

Boom.

The shock wave of the collision was too big to the point the planet went sideways, leaving its orbit.

"Hahaha! That's it. You may get stronger when you're full of wrath, but your biggest weakness is the fact that you're becoming more foolish the angrier you are. I would rather fight someone stronger than a cunning one." The Earth God laughed.

However, the asteroid soon melted as Marcus's flame appeared and swallowed both the asteroid and the Lower World. Of course, he didn't have enough strength to destroy the Lower World.

He jumped out of the crater to outer space again and glared at the Earth God.

Marcus, surprisingly, became calm as if the rock earlier hit his head so hard that he began to act weird. He took a deep breath and released a different type of wrath. This time, it wasn't like vicious anger, but anger that came from a deep calm sea that would swallow everything when there was a chance.

The Earth God felt something was wrong and released the same stone to test the sudden change.

This was when Marcus showed his different strengths. He punched forward and released the black purple flame from a distance, enveloping the entire rock.

Surprisingly, when the fire hit the rock and was supposed to melt it, it didn't go that way this time. Instead, the temperature became even colder as the rock started freezing and the residual energy was pushed back.

"!!!" The Earth God narrowed his eyes and covered his paw with a giant rock, striking the asteroid with his hand.

Bam.

The asteroid cracked and shattered into pieces. As soon as he saw the opportunity, Marcus released his strength even more and swallowed the Earth God.

"Ah!" The Earth God gritted his teeth and blocked it with his hands, but he was already inside it until he summoned a giant rock shield and deflected the flow.

"I'm a fool? Maybe, but I believe you are dumber than me." Marcus snorted.

The Earth God narrowed his eyes and roared as loud as possible. An Earth Elemental Disturbance appeared above him before the Earth God entered it and changed the shape from a huge ball into a giant golem.

"…" Marcus narrowed his eyes and felt something different from this one.

Surprisingly, the Earth God disappeared from the battlefield as Marcus turned left, finding that giant body next to him.

'It's that fast with its giant body?' Marcus was taken aback and punched the giant hand that came to him. "Divine Wrath Fist."

To his surprise, the golem changed shape again and formed a spike on top of the fist. Not wanting to get pierced, Marcus dodged to the side and ended up getting hit by the flat surface, getting flown away.

He stopped and spat a mouthful of blood.

"Hahahaha! Now, now. Let's go at it again! Just like you, I will be destroying all your allies before helping my own King." The Earth God looked down on Marcus, still feeling that Marcus was far weaker than him.

"Is that so?" Suddenly, Marcus took out one of the memory crystals he had and activated it.

What made the Earth God surprised was the fact that the crystal showed the condition of his teammate. And when he saw what Sherry had actually done, for the first time, the Earth God showed an expression of anger.

He clenched his teeth and glared at the Earth God. "What are you showing me?"

Marcus shrugged and acted nonchalantly. "Before the war starts, I've asked the others to bring a memory crystal so everyone can understand each other's situation. Unfortunately, I don't think you have the chance to win this."

The Earth God roared and charged toward him. "It will be different if I kill you first and head toward them."

Marcus smirked and said, "Oh, you still have a sense of camaraderie? How cute."

The Earth God obviously had something like that. After all, they stemmed from one root, which was the best. Even a normal person would get angry if someone actually took their arm, let alone when they cripple them.

Although the Earth God was the Supreme Beast's two hands, he could still feel anger swelling in his heart when the body and anything else got injured.

And this was what Marcus wanted. The moment he saw the Earth God's uncontrolled anger, he raised his hand and gripped it tightly.

"Wrath Control, Divine Anger."

Suddenly, a black and purple light appeared next to the Earth God. Yes, this was none other than the personification of the Earth God's wrath.

Marcus enhanced that power and turned it into an explosive ball, forcing it to explode.

"!!!" The Earth God was taken aback and flinched to the side, but it was too late. He realized that Marcus simply wanted to anger him. Unfortunately, this realization came far too late.

Boom.

Marcus smirked and said, "I'm Wrath itself. Whenever there is wrath, I will be present."

What he did earlier was controlling someone's wrath. This was the result of his training. In the past, he only managed to influence someone's emotion and used his own wrath to attack. But after Alaya's training, he understood that he could channel his power and become the Wrath itself.

Normally, the Earth God wouldn't feel anger toward him just because he got shown something like that. Yet, without him knowing, Marcus had been using his power to influence his anger, so his emotion was more sensitive to his provocation. This was the true art of emotional manipulation that he learned from Alaya.

He watched the Earth God spat a mouthful of blood and got blown away to the side while screaming in pain.

"How is the taste of your own wrath?" Marcus smirked.
