Chapter 1125 - Wishes
Inside a certain planet, four people stood, facing each other.
"Do you think the Spirit G.o.d will forgive everything you have done, especially with the fact that you have prepared to kill every single person in Eulja"s territory?" The Earth G.o.d gritted his teeth.
No one said anything because the answer was obvious. Eulja currently stood right on their front gate, preparing to attack them at any moment"s notice.
They looked at each other and shook their heads, knowing that they had no chance to handle the Spirit G.o.d alone.
"So, do you have a plan, Earth G.o.d?" G.o.d of Wrath narrowed his eyes.
"That"s why I have a proposal. Since the only way to escape this situation is to become a villain, why don"t—"
Bang.
Before the Earth G.o.d finished telling his plan, the G.o.d of Wrath suddenly slammed the table, becoming angrier. He was already angry because the Holy G.o.d betrayed him. However, the moment he realized that he had been on the wrong side this whole time, he was mad at himself.
Whatever the reason, there was no chance that he would agree to something like this.
Recalling what the Holy G.o.d said back then, he glared at the Earth G.o.d. "No! You"re crazy. Even if I need to die, I won"t betray this universe! Even if I am the Spirit G.o.d"s enemy, there are still standards!"
The Earth G.o.d stared at him in silence before the Battle G.o.d opened his mouth. "G.o.d of Wrath. Sit down."
"What did you say?" The G.o.d of Wrath released his killing intent toward the Battle G.o.d. "I"m quitting. It"s better to be killed by the Spirit G.o.d rather than betraying this universe."
Suddenly, two more people entered the place. The first one was a male in his forties. He had purple hair and a muscular body. But the most noticeable thing would be his dragon horns and tail.
Meanwhile, the second person was a red-haired female. Like the first guy, she had one feature that stood out. It was the pair of wings on her back.
"Yo! Bear. To think you would have come to beg us for partic.i.p.ating in this…" The guy smirked as he released his aura, telling the others that they were G.o.d Kings.
"You…" The G.o.d of Wrath recognized them and realized what had been going on. "Dragon G.o.d, Phoenix G.o.ddess, don"t tell me you two are…"
"No wonder. This guy has the knowledge about it." The Phoenix G.o.ddess nodded with a calm expression as she looked at the Earth Guy. "Bear, what are you doing here?"
"Second brother has died." The Earth G.o.d closed his eyes and answered with a hoa.r.s.e tone. "The Snake has also died."
"I see. The Spirit G.o.d, huh."
"Yeah. It turns out the Life and Death G.o.ddess hasn"t died."
"What?!" The Dragon G.o.d widened his eyes in shock. Although he himself wasn"t the previous "Dragon" that fought against her, he inherited that memory through the parasite. He gritted his teeth and released his killing intent. "Good, good. To think I would be able to settle this."
"She won"t be able to fight for at least ten years. We are here to wait for our Master, so don"t mistake your priority, Dragon."
"Fine, fine." He snorted and looked away.
"Phoenix, I want you to bring your pet here to help me kill the Spirit G.o.d."
"Haha. You two have pets, right? I don"t need any." The Dragon laughed as he looked at the Battle G.o.d. It was obvious that the Battle G.o.d was Earth G.o.d"s pet. This was what Silvia told Alex about them being able to influence only one person.
It turned out that there were two bears this whole time, the Earth G.o.d and Metal G.o.d.
"How about that birdie?" The Earth G.o.d asked.
"He needs a longer time. The same applies to the Bats." Phoenix G.o.ddess shook her head. "Besides, the Spirit G.o.d has gotten a clue about the Bats appearance, so I am a.s.suming there is a chance that they will appear to hit the bats."
"Because of their numbers, the Bats are the most dangerous in a battle. It"s normal for the Spirit G.o.d to focus on them." He thought for a moment. "Alright. With this, we have seven people to launch an all-out attack against the Spirit G.o.d."
"Why do you include me? I already said I wouldn"t partic.i.p.ate."
"You brat. If we said that you are, then you are going to do it." The Dragon G.o.d glared at him as he released his pressure.
However, the G.o.d of Wrath gritted his teeth and released all his energy. "Try it."
The Dragon G.o.d suddenly disappeared as he struck the G.o.d of Wrath with his fist, blowing him away from the room.
The Phoenix G.o.ddess looked at them and shook her head before joining the battle. "If he doesn"t want to, he needs to die. See you later."
"…" The G.o.ddess of Destiny closed her eyes.
Seeing this, the Earth G.o.d and Battle G.o.d stared at her. He asked. "What are you going to do now, G.o.ddess of Destiny? Join us! You won"t need to die if we win."
Little did he know the actual reason she closed her eyes was to calculate her own fate. She let out a long sigh and said, "The chance of me escaping this ordeal… Is zero. Huft. If I knew the situation would escalate like this, I would have accepted Song G.o.ddess"s invitation. Besides, my last chance to escape has gone…"
The last chance in her mouth was obviously the G.o.d of Wrath, who was being pursued by two G.o.d Kings.
The two G.o.d Kings snorted as if it was their victory.
"But…" The G.o.ddess of Destiny paused for ten seconds before her eyes shone the moment she opened her eyes. "Just like the G.o.d of Wrath, I do believe that death is better than betraying this universe."
"!!!" The Earth G.o.d and Battle G.o.d realized that she planned to do something and stood up, jumping toward her.
However, the G.o.ddess of Destiny was one step ahead as she utilized all the energy in her body.
"Fate… Alter."
"NOO!"
The room was enveloped by light and no one knew what happened after that.
…
In Eulja, the situation wasn"t as tense as the alliance. After hearing Alex"s request, Lin Xingzhi started explaining.
"Let"s talk about it one by one. First is the last herb for your Undying Fire Body. Whether it"s fortunate or unfortunate, that herb is in the hand of Pill World."
"Pill World." Alex narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah. That"s why I haven"t been able to tell you."
"You don"t want me to go there while hoping to find another herb like that, right?" Alex sighed.
"Exactly. However, since you already want it, I can only tell you."
"How to acquire it? Don"t tell me it"s war…"
"Nope. That"s why I don"t know whether this is fortunate or unfortunate. The pill tower has two types of compet.i.tion, individual and duo, each happening once in ten years with five years of interval. Firia was once a runner-up in the solo fifteen years ago right before she returned to Eulja."
"Hmm…" Alex narrowed his eyes. "So, the one coming right now is…"
"Yeah. The duo compet.i.tion. At first, I let Alicia partic.i.p.ate that time and become the runner up, but this time, we are going to take the victory." She smirked.
"You don"t mind if I am known there?"
"Yep. There is no G.o.d King in that world. The strongest is only a Rank 2 G.o.d. Hence, it"s fine for you to appear there as long as you bring Sullivan with you. Besides, you can handle a Rank 2 G.o.d by yourself, right? Although the news will spread sooner or later, I don"t think it"s easy to spread this kind of news to many planets. There are time gaps."
He thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes. I think that"s a good idea. Then how is the compet.i.tion related to the herb?"
"There is one reward that allows the partic.i.p.ant to enter their treasury to get one herb from them. Hence, whoever won the first place, he/she was forbidden to enter the second time. That"s why Firia could still partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion."
"So that"s how it is." Alex nodded. "I think it"s fine. Firia"s skill is good enough to become the runner-up, so I believe in her. I will become her supporter this time."
"Okay. You should tell her after this."
"Sure."
"Then, let"s move to the second topic. I have multiple worlds. You can choose two among them and plant your dungeons there."
"Good. That"s easy. Just tell me the information about them earlier."
"Will do. Besides, I believe those worlds can"t hold a candle against your power, so I think it"s fine to finish it quickly."
"That"s my plan."
"Since the third has been discussed, let"s check the fourth one. Rank 3 G.o.d, huh… Do you have any concrete plan about this?"
"I am not sure myself. First of all, I want to become a Rank 3 G.o.d because I can reach Rank 2 G.o.d with Silvia"s help. Although it"s not necessarily able to let me jump one level, I am sure it will bring so many benefits to me. Then, I will use the room that your father created to learn about my Law the moment I"m good enough to become a G.o.d King."
"I see. That"s a good idea to reach G.o.d King. But the problem will be how to reach Rank 3 G.o.d first."
"Yes. That"s why I"m wondering if you have any good things to share?"
"I don"t have one but if I had to say, it would be related to the fifth wish." Lin Xingzhi explained.
"Ah, the brightest star, huh…"
"Yes. Just like how you absorbed the planet"s essence, I think you will be able to increase your cultivation by a large amount with cultivating the Sun or Star Essence."
"I doubt I can reach Rank 3 G.o.d, but I think it"s good enough." Alex nodded with a serious expression. "Do you have a star like that?"
"I am not sure about this, but I think the brightest sun that won"t affect any living beings if it dies…" Lin Xingzhi recalled the name for a while before opening her mouth. "There is a star called Moyak Star. In that area, there was a planet that used to host millions of people.
"Unfortunately, they all died because of that sun. I think it was due to another Fire Disturbance occurring in that area and created a smaller star. And the bigger one absorbed the smaller one, burning the planets nearby. I think this one is good enough for you."
"Alright. Let"s go with that. First, I will be partic.i.p.ating in the tournament before going to create some dungeons. Only after that will I go to this star. What do you think?" Alex asked her opinion about his current plan.
"Yep. I think that"s good enough." Lin Xingzhi agreed even though there were some flaws since Alex had the ability to deal with it by himself. "It means you will be leaving three to four days from now."
"I need the report first or my heart can"t rest easy after all." Alex chuckled as this was his job as a king. He needed to know more about his planet. "Anyway, I will be leaving now to say h.e.l.lo to others. Do you need anything? I can bring it to you."
"Nope. Just do whatever you think is right. I will be here."
Alex nodded and smiled. He left the room and went around Eulja to greet his citizens, soldiers, retainers, and wives. Of course, Sullivan accompanied him to make sure nothing went wrong.
It was his first time doing this as he gained an understanding of the heaviness of the name of Spirit G.o.d.
The expectation of the citizens, the admiration from the soldiers, the loyalty of the retainers, and the love of his wives… He needed to shoulder everything without abandoning the others.
…
Three days later. It was the day where Alex was supposed to go to Korzan to read the status report, but he turned out to be unable to do so because something ridiculous just happened. Both Lin Xingzhi and Alex dropped their jaws when that happened as they simply couldn"t react.
The G.o.d of Wrath, who he thought to be an enemy, came to Eulja and prostrated in front of Alex.
