GACHA SOVEREIGN

"Since that is the case, I won't say anything about it." Anya nodded. "By the way, do you feel that the fight was a bit anticlimactic?"

"What do you mean?" Alex tilted his head. It was true that they fought three million monsters. However, it didn't really feel that way. Maybe because the whole world fought together as one, protecting the world like protecting their home, the fight didn't feel it was that hard.

Alex remembered that when Jeanne came, the fight became so easy to the point he felt surreal. However, he forgot one fact… The fact that his Spirits were far above normal, especially with their True Spirit Body and Anya's support ability.

Their strength was so strong to the point normal 10-Star monsters couldn't hold a candle to them. Yet, Alex didn't feel the battle was anticlimactic. No matter how powerful his spirits were, the fact that they fought three million made the whole fight tiresome.

"If you don't feel that way, then it's fine." Anya smiled, even though she still felt it. The anticlimactic battle she was talking about was the fact that she didn't feel anything toward the monsters. Even after five thousand years fighting in the front line, she would have an unsure feeling because millions of people would die the moment Eulja went to war.

That was why every time she won a war, she still felt pity and uneasiness in her heart. Yet, it wasn't reflected on this one. Whether it was due to their enemies being monsters instead of humans or not, she chose to shake that thought off.

"Anyway, you can continue cultivating."

Alex looked at Anya leaving the room and tilted his head. He was confused about her action today but decided not to pry about her privacy even though she could see his memory because of the system.

"I will just keep going because it's only two stars more…" Alex shook his head and closed his eyes, regaining his focus.

The world slowly became quiet, literally. Due to the lack of absence of conflict, the world finally let all the rumors die. The tension between each influence was cleared for a period of time.

It seemed the Gods and Goddesses also asked the other influences to put away their hatred for the time being. At the same time, they gave the four kingdoms in the Ancient Battlefield to set foot on the surface after a long few thousand years.

The hope became a reality, and that day became the mark of a miracle. All of them kneeled in front of the Ancient Ruin to give their thanks to the Gods and Goddesses that had been protecting this world without anyone realizing it.

And with the four kingdoms emerging to the surface, the other influences started recruiting them to become their disciples. After all, they were the closest kin of the Gods and Goddesses. If they were not going to recruit someone like that, they would be foolish.

Many of them were asking about Alex's Spirit Nest, but no one knew about where his Spirit Nest resided. There were a few occasions where they spotted Letizia and Rose, but none of them actually found their base.

On the other hand, no one actually found Alex or his strong friends, shrouding them in a mystery. His name slowly turned into an urban legend from world history. A hero that would work hard from the bottom and help the entire world. He became a role model in the disciples' minds, especially those who saw him in the battle.

Alex kept cultivating during this time and finally advanced to 9-Star Martial Saint a year later. At that time, Firia had already reached 10-Star Martial Saint, making her last preparation to become a God.

After a few more months, Firia finally consolidated all of her power. Her body was also suitable to reach God Stage.

He immediately teleported them, together with all people in the base, to see her off. The destination was the coast in the southwest region. A very tall cliff surrounded that coast.

Right before the cliff stood tall a red gate that separated the cliff from the array on it. Alex understood this was the place where we needed to separate. As much as he didn't want to separate from Firia, he needed to let her go.

"Alex…" Firia called his name with a smile.

Alex smiled back and put his hands on her cheeks. "Unfortunately, this is the maximum where I can send you."

"Don't worry. I have been working hard for today, the Divine Tribulation won't beat me. After this, I am going to return to Eulja. I don't know if Zark is waiting for me or not, but my body will be strong enough to withstand the zero pressure in outer space, so I should be able to return to the Spirit Nest with my two feet." Firia shrugged.

Alex nodded. "I understand. I want you to be careful in challenging the Divine Tribulation. And I will be waiting here until you ascend."

"Yes. I am waiting for you in Eulja, where we can return together to meet Fathers and Mothers." Firia smiled brightly.

"Of course. Without any pressure on my shoulders now, I can focus on what I want to learn. Besides, I need to learn a few Divine Pills and Divine Arrays as soon as I ascend."

"Yes. With your power, you should be able to understand them pretty soon… Maybe a year or so?"

"Anyway, today is your big day. Go ahead. I am rooting for you here."

"Why don't you cultivate instead? Even though I am already at the bottleneck, I need to cultivate for a few more days to trigger the Divine Tribulation…"

"What kind of a husband am I if I don't watch your Divine Tribulation?" Alex shook his head. "Besides, it's only a few days."

Firia smiled helplessly, knowing that nothing would change this man's mind. She then decided to not waste any more time and said goodbye to the spirits and others. After that, Firia entered a small Teleportation Array that would send her to a small island where she could undergo her Divine Tribulation.

The legend said this place could only be entered by a peak 10-Star Martial Saint that almost reached God Stage. At the same time, there was no way to go back from this island. Despite it being a small Teleportation Array, the truth lies underground.

There were too many symbols seeping around the rock underground, and many Arrays protected them to make sure no one ruined its foundation.

As for the location of the island, it was still unknown. Some said it was inside the sea. Some said it was in the center of the five continents, ensuring that the place was untouchable by the humans. That was why every time someone attempted this, they would go to this place.

Yet, because of the importance of this place, no one dared to claim it was theirs. After all, if they knew that someone actually ascended, it should be coming from their place. At that time, the influence would lose their only 10-Star Martial Saint and get attacked by so many enemies at once. Hence, it was better to let this array be a neutral area that not a single person could claim it as their own.

Hence, this place was completely untouched. It seemed after being sealed by the Spirit God, this place was a kind to a key. If they chose to unseal the world and become a Divine World again, they would be able to do it as long as they used that island.

As for how to liberate the seal, only the Gods and Goddesses in that tower might know. As long as they deemed it was dangerous to even attempt such a thing, this world would never see the day they could become a God Rank Expert and stay in this world at the same time.

Alex, on the other hand, didn't really have any interest in knowing such a future was possible. After all, he didn't plan to return to this place anymore unless it was necessary.

After thinking all of that, he finally closed his eyes, waiting for Firia's Divine Tribulation to start.

It took her five days before Alex to see a cloud gathering in a certain area.

"That… That is the last Divine Tribulation. It seems she has passed the other nine. If she passes this, she will ascend to the God Rank."

"But doesn't she need to transform her body to Divine Body first?"

"Yeah. I think it will take a few hours at most, depending on your ability."

"I see. And I think we need to think up a name for your God Title." Anna glanced.

"What do you mean?" Alex tilted his head.

"It's as I said, we need to come up with a title, befitting your God strength. Remember why we call others with Time God, Dungeon God, Death God, and other names? They were actually titled because of their ability. Dungeon God had created too many places to increase one's strength and kill many, so he was tilted as such. Time God was the master of time, so he was crowned by that name. The same as Death God, who understood things about Death and Reincarnation.

"I am actually Moon Butterfly God while Anya has Sun Butterfly God. Leoz is a Thunder Berserker God. The others have as well, but I think the name is pretty simple because it's related to their Spirit Race." Anna nodded. "Though Vera might need to change her title because Alicia will be taking her title, Ice Phoenix God."

The group was thinking the same thing when Anna mentioned this topic. They wanted Alex to be known as the Spirit God again. But it seemed the other person had already decided his own title if needed to be.

"If I need a name, then I will just be called Gacha God." Alex shrugged.

"…" Although they had predicted that Alex would choose something like this, they still felt hopeless despite wanting to beat him.

"What?" Alex tilted his head. "I mean, I have been getting stronger by my Gacha System. And I can even grant my Gacha to other people. At the same time, isn't it interesting to see people opening Gacha themselves?"

"Are you going to trick them by giving a huge prize that they couldn't refuse but with a very low percentage? That way, you can get so much money." Anna rolled her eyes.

"Oi! I don't have such a plan… Yet."

"…"

"What? If you are hoping for me to get my previous title, Spirit God, I will not do it. As I said in the past, I won't follow my previous life's footsteps because I will always be me. If I take that title, I am not sure if I am still myself or not." Alex explained with a serious expression.

"That's just our wish. But the title is not as important as the person itself." Anna shook her head and smiled.

"Fine…" Alex suddenly felt a huge fluctuation of energy in the sky. Without him realizing, Firia had finished her Divine Tribulation and was in the middle of remolding her body.

Alex thought for a moment and decided to continue talking before he saw a pillar of light coming from the horizon. Without doing anything, he already knew that Firia had ascended.

He stretched his hand to the sky and smiled. "Wait for me in another year or two, we will meet again."

Alex then looked at his spirits and created a Teleportation Array. "Let's come home, shall we?"

He snapped his finger, and the group disappeared from that place.

Meanwhile, right outside the world, Firia found a white-haired man with a butler outfit.

"Zark…" Firia nodded with a smile.

"Milady, let me escort you to Eulja." The guy humbly bowed his head.

"Sorry for troubling you."

"It's my pleasure. Besides, Master is going to ascend soon, so I am thrilled to come back here."

"Such a reliable guy."

"Thank you for your praise."

"Let's go then."

"Yes." Zark snapped his finger and summoned a Divine Teleportation Array.
