GACHA SOVEREIGN

Inside the room, Alex was sitting face to face with Kyle and Stina. They had been staring at each other for a while, not knowing what to say.

"First of all, I should say this first. It's a good thing to see both of you again." Alex smiled.

"Yeah. Thank you, Master." Stina and Kyle bowed their heads. "We have got completely overtaken by you, though. We are ashamed."

"No, no. You don't need to worry about that." Alex waved his hand. "I am sure the others also haven't broken through to another level."

"Actually, Alicia has. Only her."

"I see. There is one then." Alex nodded before recalling something. "By the way, before this, I have stored many herbs inside the Inventory. Have you checked it?"

"Hmm?" Lin Xingzhi tilted her head before raising his hand. A blue notification appeared, followed by the panel for Inventory. She then found so many herbs had just been stored inside and looked at Alex with a dumbfounded expression. "This…"

"You must have realized where it was coming from, but I won't say anything right now," Alex warned her first.

"I understand." Lin Xingzhi nodded, knowing it must come from Encore. Although many questions flashed in her mind, she chose not to open her mouth.

"You can use this to power up the others, and I am sure this should be enough for others to catch up with my cultivation."

"I am not very sure. There is also a process to completely absorb the herb. It might be giving EXPs to them, but it takes time."

"Alright. I don't really mind time because we still have time. Meanwhile, I am going to increase my strength as soon as possible." Alex said with a serious expression.

When they saw his expression, Kyle and Stina fell silent, wondering if it was still alright to ask him to visit their world. They ended up deciding to visit her later after Alex solved all the problems, but Alex offered them again.

"So, when do you want to visit your daughter? If I can choose, it will be right now because I still have the time. And after that, I can start cultivating. It won't take too long, I guess."

The couple looked at each other and thought the same thing. They clasped their hands and bowed their heads. "We thank you for Master's generosity."

"Good." Alex nodded. "We can go tomorrow. Lin Xingzhi will distribute the herbs first while you can control your current new power first."

"We understand." They nodded.

Lin Xingzhi then rose from her seat and stretched her hand. "Since you two are new here, let me guide you to your room."

They had nothing to say about the offer and immediately took her hand. They followed Lin Xingzhi outside while Alex sat on the chair, facing down. It had been a tiring ten years for him, so he felt like resting.

He returned to his room and immediately slept like a log. Even Lin Xingzhi didn't bother him when she found him like this. Since it was Encore they were talking about, he must have faced so much difficulty along the way. She even became more convinced with the fact that she couldn't reach him nor pry his memory.

Yeah, memory. There seemed to be a gap in his memory that she couldn't see no matter what. And the only one who might be able to do it was the previous Alex.

She sighed in defeat. That was the man's privacy, and since he had gone such a length to do it, she wouldn't ask about it.

The next day, Alex's mind felt refreshed. All the training he had to endure during the past decade started becoming translucent in his mind. At the very least, he wouldn't recall such a thing unless he thought it hard.

After that, they gathered inside the room again as Alex asked Zark to accompany them there.

"Master. This is the compass." Zark brought along a compass that had been set on Stina's world.

Alex nodded and grabbed it while asking, "Do you want to go inside too?"

"I don't understand." Zark shook his head.

"I want you to accompany us during this time. After finishing the matter, I want you to bring them back to Eulja while Lin Xingzhi and I go to that world."

"I see. In that case, I shall also come inside the world. I won't be seen during your stay that time, or I can return here and bring you back when you give me a signal."

"Nah, it's better to go together." Alex waved his hand together before Lin Xingzhi handed him another compass. "This is the compass to go to that world?"

"Yeah. The world is called Miorea."

Alex nodded and put it inside his Inventory for the time being. Zark then clapped his hand and summoned the array as he activated it upon Alex's nod.

It didn't take too long, and Alex immediately erected a barrier right outside the planet, sealing all their power.

Lin Xingzhi raised both hands with a surprised expression and checked her body. "So, this is how you feel when your power is sealed. To think I will experience something like this… It's a bit disgusting to suddenly lose your power because it feels a bit empty, but it's not that much."

Alex glanced at her before looking at Stina and Kyle and learned that Lin Xingzhi was a special case. It seemed due to her losing so much power, it felt very different for her.

Zark proved that she told the truth because he understood what she meant. Although it wasn't quite like her, it was similar.

"I see. This is an intriguing space element. There is this special space inside our body that can contain our soul and Divine Energy. A technique that can make a world inside one's body… Such a spell does not exist, but this technique can be considered one, albeit only a pseudo technique.

"It can create one, but it's just a kind of special realm. Not a world itself." Zark shook his head. "I wonder what will happen if someone is able to create a world inside themselves and create a new lifeform. This is how heaven-defying…"

Alex paid attention to all Zark's rambling because Zark might be the one with the highest achievement in Space Element in Eulja.

If they could create a world inside their body, it would be insane. The world itself was made due to the Disturbance that needed a lot of energy, so it wasn't possible to see a God Rank Expert created a world just yet.

"Anyway, it's nice to see you are having fun with this sudden feeling, but I am going to teleport us right now," Alex informed them and used his Teleportation Array this time. "And I hope I won't teleport us to another throne room. I have gotten sick of it."

In the blink of an eye, the scenery came again.

The pain started spreading from his chest to his entire body. He had experienced this a few times, so he had grown accustomed to it and activated the sealing without much problem.

They checked their surroundings and found themselves surrounded by skies on the horizon. There was a direction where they found a city, but this was enough for Alex to recognize this place.

"This is the flying continent…" Alex exclaimed and checked whether there was an angel nearby.

"By the way, Alex, I have been wondering, but why are you sealing all of our cultivation? Isn't Martial Emperor the limit of this world?"

"I don't have much control over this. I need to improve it for the time being because it is taking my concentration to seal many people at once. And the simplest way is to seal everything instead of adjusting it to Martial Lord." Alex sighed in defeat.

He found this weakness when he sealed the three girls' power when he visited Agar World, their home planet.

"I see." Lin Xingzhi nodded before glancing at Stina. "Since it's better to fly than using a Teleportation Array, do you know the direction?"

"I know. It is this way." Stina pointed her finger toward the sun. "With our current speed, it will probably take a few hours."

"Sure. We can't really place any more burden on Alex, so he can easily maintain his control." She nodded before tugging Alex's hand.

Alex nodded and said, "Let's go."

"Who are you?!"

When they were about to take off, they heard a sound coming from the city. It was another angel that seemed to be going for a patrol.

Since Stina was well-known in this world, she instantly appeared before him and said, "It's me. Due to various reasons, I somehow end up here. I plan to immediately leave this place and head back to my castle."

"Y-you are her highness Stina. It's rude of me." The angel immediately kneeled in front of her.

"Umu. I have returned to this place just now, so I hope you won't say anything to your king yet as I am planning to visit him a bit later."

"Ehm…" The angel had trouble agreeing as he looked away as if he wanted to say something.

"What is it? You can't keep the secret?"

"N-no. Since your highness has just returned, there is a problem in your territory."

"What?!" Stina furrowed his eyebrows. "What had happened when I was away?"

"Ehm…"

"Speak!"

"The Phoenix Continent is fighting the humans and elves right now."

"!!!" Even Alex and Lin Xingzhi turned their head upon hearing this as if they just heard something interesting.

Alex helplessly shook his head and muttered. "Oh boy. This again. When we visited the family in Agar World, they also had a conflict with this. Even though it was only around a decade or so… Wait, a decade? That is far enough time to start a conflict like this. It seems my sense of time has been shattered by cultivation…"

Lin Xingzhi heard his murmur and chuckled. She winked her eyes as if telling him that they wouldn't participate in this matter and let the couple solve it.

Alex shared her opinion and nodded to watch the show.

"Due to the recent conflict between the previous Supreme, Alexander Sirius. The human king started harboring ominous feelings upon the Phoenixes. The hatred sparked when the elf saw how their genius princess got too obsessed with him.

"And when she actually chased him, the elven princess's life crystal that had been showing her life energy shattered. In other words, she died in another world.

"The humans then devised a plot to get the Elven King joined them and succeeded. With the crystals had been returned to the former owner, the king had been using it to increase his power, so it was hard for the phoenixes to fight back. That's what I have heard from the city. It seems to be a rumor, but people are saying it's coming from our Wise King himself."

Stina furrowed her eyebrows and asked again. "How is her condition?"

"Her Majesty Ellen has been heavily injured from the joint force of the Elven King and the Human Sovereign."

"Is there any treaty with the other races?"

"The human managed to make a treaty with the Sea Race and Angel Race. The Dragon Race kept their neutral stance and decided to stop the war when Her Majesty Ellen got injured. They thought it would be best to not kill any leaders during this war.

"They seemed to have some sentiments with Alexander Sirius. But I am afraid they can't participate more than this." The guard shook his head in disappointment. He never thought he would see war again in this life.

"Good good good! That Shelka had tried to endanger my master by bringing some useless pricks. And now they are going to aim for my daughter?" Stina was on the verge of blowing up.

However, Kyle patted her shoulder, telling her to calm down. When she turned around and snarled at him, he saw a scary face from Kyle.

"This is interesting. They are not allowed to kill any sovereign, right? Since that is the case, I will return the favor by not killing the Elven King and Human Sovereign. But I will use their human castle as coal and their World Tree as a branch to heat up this world a little bit. For now, let's go back to our home, okay?"

The guard turned pale, wondering if it was alright to tell them this. He might need to inform his king about this to see what he could do.
