Chapter 1124 - End Of The Great War
Meanwhile, on the other battlefield, something beyond everyone"s imagination happened.
Although his body was full of injury, Korzan ripped the fifth Rank 2 G.o.d apart before starting to pant. He truly exhausted his all to defeat five Rank 2 G.o.d on his own. Even his enemies couldn"t help but fear him as a monster.
Sherry made a weird smile and asked Sullivan beside her. "Korzan is this strong?"
"Yeah. I said it earlier. Korzan is Alex"s first retainer. He has been following Alex"s shadow this whole time, allowing him to absorb Alex"s knowledge as much as he could. That"s the reason why he is the closest one to G.o.d King." He sighed.
"I see." Sherry shuddered. "I think we"ve almost wiped them out."
"Yes." Sullivan nodded. "I think His Majesty has ordered a retreat too."
"In that case, let"s settle this fight and return."
"Agreed. I have rested long enough, so I think I should join the battle again."
"Take care."
After another two hours, they officially wiped every single enemy that came toward them. In this battle, Korzan managed to kill five Rank 2 G.o.ds by himself. Meanwhile, Sullivan killed three, albeit other than his first opponents, the other two were eliminated with the help of their respective opponents, so it wasn"t as hard as Korzan.
At the same time, Maxwell and the Beast G.o.d realized that even without Lin Xingzhi holding the fort, Eulja had no need to worry. Korzan was the real person who protected Eulja in secret and had been keeping a low profile this whole time.
Korzan was known as a gentle and loyal guy, but they never expected that he became so violent that no one could withstand his anger. They died miserably as their body melted into molten lava.
After wiping out their enemies, Korzan raised his hand and shouted. "This battle is over. It"s our Eulja"s Victory."
"Uoh!"
The excitement couldn"t be contained anymore. However, Korzan knew that this was the time to part as he continued. "All troops. We are going to return triumph."
Another cheer erupted as they began retreating while taking care of all the trash they killed in outer s.p.a.ce.
Still, even though the battle didn"t last that long, Eulja suffered quite a lot of damage. Yes, they might have wiped out around forty percent of the enemy"s power, especially those on the main battlefield, but five percent of their soldiers had died.
This might look like not a big number, but considering Eulja"s scale, it was more than twice the other"s force. In addition, the other allies also suffered a loss on their side.
Unfortunately, they couldn"t really seize Metal G.o.d"s property right now because this situation might be a trap for them to lure Alex deep into their territory before killing him.
Alex had predicted it since there was a possibility of the second "weapon" hiding among them.
As one would expect, there was a huge party in Eulja. Even the ten Commandants were invited to join and this became the first time for Alex to meet them.
He greeted and offered his thanks to them one by one while trying to know each of them. Still, no matter what he had to say, this war really took a toll on his body and mind. He was a bit tired after experiencing a big battle as he impressed everyone with the fact that he killed a Rank 2 G.o.d by himself.
As for his mind, he couldn"t stop thinking about the preparation of the next war because he truly had moved all twenty Rank 2 G.o.ds in Eulja: Six Elemental G.o.ds, Five Guardians, Six out of the ten commandants, Lilda, Sullivan, and finally Korzan.
This meant that other than his trump card, he truly had nothing to counter a more powerful enemy. This turned into a headache for him until Lin Xingzhi told him to drop the matter until the party finished.
Alex agreed and ultimately hugged Aria. She was the reason why they could win this war. She truly had a different perspective in terms of war just like how he preferred. Predicting the enemy"s plan was really big for the current Eulja and meant a lot to Alex since there was no need for the unnecessary death.
Aria was frozen after that because that was the first time she got that hug, especially considering Alex was a demon when he trained her. That warm hug was truly different from what she had gotten so far, making her unsure of what to do.
In the middle of the party, Alex stepped out a bit with a mellow expression.
Anya found and approached him before asking. "Do you have something in mind again?"
Alex let out a long sigh and eventually nodded his head. "I wonder if I should level Anna up to Rank 2 G.o.d to bolster our rank. The cost of becoming G.o.d King is too tremendous. According to her present cultivation, I think I only need half of the resources to level her up to Rank 2 G.o.d."
"Hmm. That"s a nice question." Anya contemplated and said, "Anna, Leoz, and Jeanne… These three are former Rank 2 G.o.ds. It"s true that we can increase our strength, but I think it"s better to hold that thought for a little longer."
"Is that so?" Alex smiled. "I will listen to you then. Maybe I"m overthinking this."
"Yeah. You should rest first."
Right before he could rest, the Song G.o.ddess came to the party, making all of them bewildered.
Obviously, many people actually recognized her because they remembered the people Alex had picked up in the past.
"Your Majesty." Rinrin lowered her head and greeted him.
"You"ve come." Alex smiled. "Well, for now, enjoy the party."
"Yes."
Before she could continue, Carissa barged in as she pushed her off while saying, "You. Don"t you dare to seduce him."
"I am not doing it. Are you trying to frame me because I am better than you now?"
"Kh! Even if you are stronger than me, I am more useful." She fought back.
"Really? How about telling me about it? I will give you a chance to redeem yourself even though I am stronger than you and almost rendering everything you have useless."
"I can warm his bed."
"I can too. Besides, you haven"t even done it yet."
"I can make him feel good. In addition, there is an aphrodisiac."
"I can do it too with my music. I can even show it to you right now."
"I have…"
The two began to argue like in the past. Even Korzan laughed, recalling the matter a few thousand years ago.
It was when the two were young.
Carissa often brought medicine herbs since she had an interest since young, showing Alex that she could become a medicine expert. Meanwhile, Rinrin showed her talent in music and tried to make Alex comfortable by hearing her music.
In the end, they blamed each other after knowing that Alex liked both of them. They tried to lower the other"s image in front of Alex by using pranks. It continued even until they became old enough.
After stopping the argument, Alex brought her to everyone, introducing her. At the same time, Silvia was there with her student. Axis had a secret mission from Alex and didn"t hesitate to help him since he got everything he needed in Eulja. Doing something so simple couldn"t show how much he was grateful to him. Luckily, it seemed they could trust the Song G.o.ddess.
Still, the moment Alex finished introducing her, Carissa quickly teased her again as the two began to pick. The Elemental G.o.ds and Five Guardians cheered for both of them. No matter their age, these two seemed to have no chance in becoming an adult when they met each other.
They ended it with a performance from Rinrin, which turned out to be amazing. Her music could affect the real world itself. No wonder she was known as Song G.o.ddess.
Alex also enjoyed this party and finally returned to his bed, trying to rest.
Seeing that Alex was tired mentally, Lin Xingzhi called every single one of his wives. Even Silvia was called and somehow ended up doing it together with the others.
Although Alex told her that she was already a part of it and asked her to wait until the war finished to announce their marriage, it was still a huge relief for Silvia since this meant recognition.
Alex already told her that if he married her right now, it would be labeled as political marriage to create a relations.h.i.+p between him and Palm G.o.d in this dangerous time.
It would give her a terrible reputation, so Alex requested to hold their marriage after the war even though he didn"t care much about other opinions. And even if Silvia didn"t mind, they still needed to think about their children"s feelings. If people branded them to be the kids from a political marriage mother, they would surely feel hurt.
After agreeing with the arrangement, their relations.h.i.+p became like this.
Either way, Silvia was pretty satisfied. She might be embarra.s.sed earlier, but that didn"t matter anymore. Anna also felt happy to find someone "Normal" among Alex"s wives. After all, Anya, Lin Xingzhi, Sherry, and Firia had become a pervert. Letizia was conservative. Evelyn was wild… The exact opposite of Letizia. Hence, Anna finally created an alliance for the "normal" with Alicia and Silvia to fight the perverts.
The next day, Alex felt refreshed even though last night was a mess. The others seemed to have woken up and continued what they were supposed to do instead of flirting with him. Although flirting was nice, they wanted to become independent and did their best for him and Eulja, so they didn"t want to slack.
Alex also understood them and often visited them randomly, calling it bonding.
After recovering, he put on his clothes and walked to Lin Xingzhi"s room.
Lin Xingzhi stopped operating the system when she saw Alex. "Do you need anything?"
"Yes. I want the report about yesterday"s battle or should I go to Korzan?"
"You will probably need to ask Korzan. Though, he still needs to recover a bit. Maybe you should ask him in three days."
"Okay. I think I can rest a bit for three days."
"Good."
"Now, I want to talk about my next course."
Lin Xingzhi thought for a moment and asked. "What do you want to do?"
Since Lin Xingzhi was usually the one who offered him a mission, he needed to think a bit before saying, "I have a few objectives. First, I want to refine the last piece of my Undying Fire Body. Second, I want to turn two more worlds into a mining zone to get more Spirit Crystals. Of course, I"m talking about the system dungeon here. Third, I have promised my Master to go to a compet.i.tion. Fourth, I want to reach Rank 3 G.o.d. Fifth, I want to cultivate in front of a star… If possible, the brightest sun you can find. Make sure that I won"t do any harm to any living beings if I absorb the star."
Hearing these objectives, Lin Xingzhi couldn"t help but say. "That"s quite a lot, huh."
