Chapter 1099 - Alex’s Growth
Not long after, Sullivan brought Silvia inside.
Silvia first cupped her hand to the Holy G.o.d before looking at Alex. "Do you need something from me?"
"I am wondering whether it"s possible to meet Navin," Alex asked.
"Navin? That"s quite an unusual request." Silvia thought for a moment and nodded. "I think you can. I will contact my father about this, albeit he must be partic.i.p.ating in this battle. So, if you want to meet him, either go right now or wait."
Alex turned to Christopher. "The attack will be three days later. Because of their force, we don"t need to bring too many soldiers because the snakes are elites. In other words, there will be only one hundred thousand G.o.d Rank Experts during this encirclement."
"But won"t this be a bit weird for me to not bring my own army?" The Holy G.o.d furrowed his eyebrows.
"Not at all." Alex waved his hand nonchalantly. "I have two reasons. First, you are still not a part of the real alliance, so you don"t need to bring them. Second, if you feel guilty about it, don"t hesitate to move more during the next battle. What do you think?"
The Holy G.o.d looked down and muttered a few words.
"Besides, our contract is still a temporary one. I can"t afford to risk the entire situation." Alex shook his head in disappointment.
"I understand. In that case, our Holy Kingdom will be the one taking the vanguard in the next battle." The Holy G.o.d finally accepted Alex"s proposal."
Alex then turned to Lin Xingzhi. "Tell our allies to prepare too."
"Sure." Lin Xingzhi nodded.
"Then, I guess, all that left is the oath." Alex"s vision returned to Christopher.
"Of course." Christoper and the others swore their Universe Oath according to the agreement. It was done the same way as to how it did with the G.o.d of Destruction.
Alex and his retainers also followed the contract.
After each reached an agreement, Alex and Christopher shook hands.
"Still, to think that I am the one convinced here. My intention of coming here is to ask you to abandon your idea of killing someone, so I can go to your side, preventing this war. But to think you are the winner…" Christopher let out a long sigh. "But there is no regret here. For the safety and the good of this universe, I shall risk my life to fight this enemy."
Alex nodded. "I only have one thing to say. You can"t change my way."
"I can understand that. However, it doesn"t mean that I will stand by when seeing you killing the innocent. Besides, I don"t have a plan to kill another G.o.d King. Only force them to retreat." The Holy G.o.d shook his head.
"That"s fine by me. I don"t really care. But if there is a chance, I will kill them."
"…" Despite having concluded the meeting, it seemed that the situation was far from over. Alex and Christopher fell silent for a minute before releasing each other"s hands.
"In that case, please stay here for another two days. We shall arrive within a day by using the Teleportation Formation."
"I am grateful for your hospitality."
Sullivan then brought them back to their rooms while Alex bowed to Silvia. "Thank you."
"You don"t need to. It"s my obligation."
Alex then turned to Lin Xingzhi. "How is the situation?"
"I have notified them that we are going to launch the attack as soon as possible. We should discuss it with them later. For now, I will just tell you our condition. We have fifty thousand G.o.d Rank Experts in our rank while the Palm G.o.d and the G.o.d of destruction give the same number.
"Blackwade Clan wanted to partic.i.p.ate, but they are hidden for the time being. I mean… Blackwade Clan is a merchant clan, not a fighting influence like us. Hence, it"s better for them to support from behind instead of going to the front line. I believe we have enough to face them.
"Last but not least, the ten G.o.d Beasts will partic.i.p.ate in this battle. So, we have four G.o.d Kings and fifty Rank 2 G.o.ds. I believe this is enough to destroy them." Lin Xingzhi finished her explanation with a nod.
The Elemental G.o.ds also shared the same thought.
"How about our opponents?"
"We have no exact number, but we can safely a.s.sume that there won"t be more than five hundred thousand snakes there. And there is only one G.o.d King to take care of, so I don"t think this is going to fail."
"I see. We are going to beat their quant.i.ty by quality. G.o.d of Destruction is planning to challenge the snake, right?"
"Yes."
"Instead of you, I want the Palm G.o.d to help him instead. This is a perfect opportunity for them to get accustomed to our enemies." Alex narrowed his eyes.
"I agree with you." She smiled. "I will accompany you then."
"Thanks."
"By the way, Your Majesty, we would like to know your strength. I believe that this mission is going to be dangerous, so…" Agnis narrowed his eyes. He seemed to hold the grudge about the previous Teleportation Session, so he tried to test Alex.
"Oi!" Canaan smacked his head while having a troubled expression.
Alex, on the other hand, turned around and summoned the Holy Emblem.
"That"s right. I am planning to bring my wives to the battlefield, so they can get used to this. Because of our overwhelming force, I want all Elemental G.o.ds and Guardians to protect them…" Alex narrowed his eyes.
"We don"t mind, but we also need to have someone protect Your Majesty." Helena nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I will have Lin Xingzhi with me. Is that enough?" Alex glanced at Lin Xingzhi.
"I am more than enough." Lin Xingzhi smiled while shrugging.
"As for my strength…" Alex paused for a second before waving his hand, creating the same spear that the Array G.o.d used.
"Divine Spear Array."
"!!!" The Elemental G.o.ds widened their eyes in shock when he saw Alex releasing that array in an instant. However, Agnis didn"t share the same sentiment as he tried to protect his body by raising both of his hands to guard this attack.
Just like Agnis having a grudge, Alex also wanted to tease this guy who had been acting like this the whole time.
Once again, Alex broke their expectation when he suddenly clenched his hand as if trying to grasp something.
What even more surprising was the fact that Agnis had his hands blown away from the inside.
"Wha—" Agnis widened his eyes and took the spear with his body.
It blew him away and let him crash to the wall.
*Cough Cough*
The pain started spreading all over his body despite not having a physical injury. The spear pressed his chest a bit too far, but luckily, he was a Rank 2 G.o.d, so an attack at this level wouldn"t really kill him.
"Do you have any complaints, Agnis?" Alex narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
"N-no." Agnis coughed a few more times before kneeling on one knee and cupping his hand. "I apologize for my rude remark, Your Majesty."
The Elemental G.o.ds just couldn"t believe what happened. To think that Agnis would be in his mercy, it looked bada.s.s. Of course, if it were a normal fight, Alex wouldn"t stand a chance against him, but it was so different when Alex was in control like this.
"Your Majesty. That style… Is it the Dungeon G.o.d?" Helena furrowed her eyebrows.
"Yes."
Helena looked down, falling into deep thought before saying, "I heard the Array G.o.d"s style was emphasizing in maximizing the number of arrays that could be built at once. The Array G.o.d managed to create ten Divine Rank Array at once within five seconds.
"However, the Array G.o.d has a different approach. Because he can"t have both, the Dungeon G.o.d pursued two characteristics: Accuracy and Speed. From what I know, the Array G.o.d could summon five Arrays in succession at the same time as the Array G.o.d made his ten.
"Of course, there is a difference between them, but no matter what, these two are very important to the Array Community. Most of the Array Masters are pursuing the Array G.o.d"s path because no one knows how the Dungeon G.o.d could increase his speed to that extreme.
"They also couldn"t replicate his deed because the Array G.o.d and Dungeon G.o.d"s path couldn"t be fused unless a monster appeared. Just like Your Majesty fusing your Sword Intent and Spear Intent together…Only you managed to do that. Your Majesty. Are you—"
Before she finished her question, Alex stopped her before shaking his head. "No."
"I see." Helena sighed.
"With my Intent, Weapon Qi, Elements, Divine Energy, Elements, I can"t afford to add something that requires me a huge amount of Energy or I will be doomed," Alex explained. "Hence, I am going to leave as it is."
Helena nodded and stopped talking.
Alex thought for a moment and looked at Lin Xingzhi. "Sullivan will protect Sherry. Agnis will go with Evelyn while Helena needs to accompany Letizia. Canaan will stay beside Firia while Zerah shall be with Alicia. Rilt and Vina will accompany Anna and Anya since they are your daughters.
"As for Rose, I will leave her to William. Silvia… Hmm, the Palm G.o.d has his own battle. The War G.o.ddess might be accompanying her, but I will ask Carissa to help her. I mean, her ability is useful in this battle. As long as she has Carissa, a poison expert, with her, I am sure she can help many people. I will talk with the War G.o.ddess about her protection, but if she were to leave, I will ask the West Guardian, Exegesis."
"We hear and obey." The Elemental G.o.ds cupped their hands politely, receiving the order.
"Alright. Since I have two days to spare, I should relax for a while." Alex stretched his hands. "You all should prepare everything you need. There is a possibility of someone coming if we don"t finish them fast."
As he said the last message, Alex turned around and left the room with Lin Xingzhi.
Meanwhile, the other Elemental G.o.ds looked at Agnis as Rilt asked. "Why did you let the spear hit your chest, Agnis?"
"…" Agnis had trouble explaining it, but he still opened his mouth. "I was not sure myself. There was a kind of force that exploded right in front of my chest, blowing my hands away. Later I noticed that the spear already hit my chest. If it were another Rank 5 G.o.d who didn"t know His Majesty"s ability, I believe they would have died."
"I see." Helena closed her eyes. "It seems that His Majesty is becoming more and more monstrous. I heard from Lin Xingzhi that one last place is vacant… Maybe I should sneak into his bed…"
"You wait, old hag! I am not going to let you seduce him!" Rilt stopped her as they began fighting each other again.
