Gacha Sovereign

The party was enjoyable. Everyone had their own share of fun.

A few hours later, they wrapped things up and called the beasts that had been waiting for them.

Surprisingly, Leka came together with Heilo. She specifically sat down on his head while asking him to move faster, so she could meet her Master.

"Ya, it's been a while, Leka."

"Master!" Leka called his name, showing how happy she was to see him again.

"Fufu. It's been a while, you two." Alex smiled before turning to Heilo. "I think you know why I called you, right?"

Heilo nodded with a serious expression. "After enjoying my life here, I believe it's better to accept it."

"Right? I have been telling you so since the beginning. Master is good." Leka patted his head.

The group laughed.

"That's right. Before that, I want to introduce you to three of them. I don't know if I can show them since there are Korzan's wives, but I guess I can now." Alex smiled. Since Korzan and Zark had also left the garden, there were only him, his disciple, and wives.

He took out his sword and spear before calling them. "Eve, Ellie, Eliot."

The three weapon spirits came out.

"Hello. I am Eve, Master's Sword Spirit."

"I am Ellie, while the one beside me is Eliot, my twin brother. I inherit the Phoenix Blood while my brother inherits the Dragon Blood. A pleasure to meet you all." Ellie bowed her head while grabbing Eliot's hand to have him bow too.

"Nice to meet you. I am Lin Xingzhi."

"Yes, we know. Although we haven't met all of you, we have been sensing your presence this whole time." Ellie smiled before turning to the other girls. "Alicia, Firia, Anna, Anya, Letizia, Evelyn, and Rose."

"Ho ho." Lin Xingzhi nodded.

"That's good then."

"Well, since you all have met each other, let's begin the process for Letizia's first contract." Alex nodded and turned to Letizia.

The latter nodded before looking at Heilo with a serious expression.

Heilo came closer to her and concentrated.

Suddenly, Letizia felt a weird feeling entering her mind, asking her permission.

"I accept." She had been brief about what would happen, so she immediately accepted the request.

Suddenly, she felt something hot was on her back.

"Uhm." She furrowed her eyebrows. "Is this the tattoo?"

"Yes. I wonder what the tattoo is?" Alex pinched his chin while looking at Letizia.

"Ehm…I don't dare to show my back…" She feared that it would make it uglier, so she tried to reject him, but Lin Xingzhi already grabbed her hands, restraining her.

"Alright. Close his eyes." Lin Xingzhi shouted to Leka, who immediately covered Heilo's eyes with her hands. At the same time, Ragi, who followed them, got covered by Anna's Dark Curtain.

Rose smiled brightly with her fingers dancing back and forth. "Hehe… I know how Sister Letizia works since I have been doing this for a while…"

With just a split second, her hands slipped in her clothes as she stripped her.

"Waawaawa—" Letizia panicked while Lin Xingzhi turned her around, so her back faced Alex.

They found a full monkey tattoo behind her back.

"As expected from the first one. It's a full-body tattoo." Anna observed the tattoo.

"Yeah." Feeling bad, Alex also unbuttoned his shirt and showed his back to Letizia. "Here. This is mine."

Letizia fixed her clothes while glancing at Alex's back. The first one, Sherry, indeed had a full-body tattoo on his back.

It was truly a cute fox. However, she also found there were three wings behind the fox with a tail underneath it.

"The three wings represent Stina, Kyle, and Ellen, while the tail is Leka," Alex explained.

"How about making another contract with a phoenix? Won't the fox have two pairs of wings? It looks more beautiful." Lin Xingzhi commented on the whole picture.

"Oi, oi. You are saying that fully knowing I only have five contracts left?" Alex sighed.

"Of course. Well, there is no telling what will happen in the future. Besides, you are planning to create an array with Eulja's logo on your back, right?"

"Is that the one you mention about the Holy Emblem?" Alicia's interest got piqued by their talk. "The concept is fresh, so I believe this will be hit in the Array Master's holy land. Well, it's better to be popularized first before creating a record there. After all, we can't afford to have someone steal this technique."

"You are going to help the research?" Alex asked.

"Probably. Do you want to join too?"

"I will pass. I have too many things to do, but I think I will ask you to teach me more about Arrays. It's not like I am leaving again for the next few years." Alex smiled and looked at Firia. "Of course, I will be asking for you to teach me Alchemy."

"That's right. We both found something interesting. It's the combination between Array and Alchemy. Have you ever thought about using an Array to do Alchemy?" Alicia asked with an excited expression.

"Ho? I have seen it somewhere in fictional stories, but I have never seen one myself." Alex shook his head.

"We are just trying it out for now. Although I am required to know Alchemy and Firia also need the knowledge about Array, we don't need to build one ourselves. In other words, we can support each other." Alicia explained.

"That's interesting."

"Right? I can control the Fire and Ingredient distribution with Alicia's Array. Of course, Alicia also needs to know how to handle the process and medicinal ingredients' characteristics to make it work. All in all, the success rate, the speed, and other things are high if we master this technique." Firia nodded in agreement.

"And if you, the owner of the Godly Pure Fire and also the master of Array Master with a special Space Element, I believe you will be the strongest in this area." Alicia supported Firia's statement.

"Well, I will be asking you to teach me that, but I think we won't do it for one year or so." Alex agreed with their plans.

"Yes, let us try it first." The two gave a thumb up to him as they were eager to try it.

"By the way, Master is asking for a fight. How about you two joining us? Maybe he will reward us something if we can beat him…" Rose suddenly interrupted them with an invitation.

"That is interesting. I am in." Alicia decided to participate.

"Hmm, I think I will join as well. I am curious about my power too." Firia nodded.

"With this, we have two Rank 9 Gods and three Rank 10 Gods. There is finally a chance to defeat a Rank 8 God." Rose smirked, planning to beat her master with this.

Lin Xingzhi shook her head helplessly while asking. "Rose. You don't know about his recent development. First of all, Eve, Ellie and Eliot are part of his strength. And his strength is equal to Rank 7 God when he is a Rank 8 God, let alone with his strength reaching the peak Rank 8 God."

"What?!" Rose's face turned pale. "Ah, our chance just disappeared. How about you joining us?"

"Haha. Well, if there is a reward, I will participate. However, Alex will surely punish me so that I won't participate." Lin Xingzhi rejected her.

But it didn't stop Rose from recruiting the last two. "How about you two? We can fight him this time."

"We were previously a Rank 2 God, but I think we can participate in this considering we are only a Rank 9 God this time?" Anya thought and looked at Anna, who replied with a nod. "Good. We will join. It's not like Alex's experience will put him at a disadvantage when fighting us."

"Good. Four Rank 9 Gods and three Rank 10 Gods. With this, we might be able to beat him." Rose smiled as if everything went according to the plan.

"Look at you…You are scheming to beat your own Master." Alex shook his head helplessly. "Of course, the punishment for you will be far more than the others. Remember that."

"What?!" Rose retreated while asking. "Can I take back my words about fighting in a group?"

"Nope. You will surely "ENJOY" the punishment." Alex made a sinister smile, scaring Rose.

The others started laughing.

"That's right." Alex then turned to Ragi. "How are you? Are you doing fine with this new environment?"

"Well, it's not a perfect environment to grow, but I will be fine if I am only focusing on my cultivation. However, I would like to request Sir to give a bit of your flame. I mean…Just hitting me with your flame a bit. I can use it to temper my physique. Although it's not the best way to cultivate, it will surely help me in the long run. Of course, I will do whatever Sir needs, so I don't look like leeching of Sir Alex." Ragi politely asked.

Alex became curious and summoned his fire. He gently spread the fire around Ragi's body and let it burn Ragi's body.

"How about this?" Alex asked.

Ragi closed his eyes and nodded. "Thank you very much. This will surely become a perfect way to temper my body. According to my father, the previous Fire God used this way to enhance my parents' bodies, so yeah, it's really effective."

"Just ask me if you want more since I have no plan of going anywhere for the time being." Alex nodded.

"I understand." Ragi bowed his head to Alex, showing his thanks again.

"By the way, you are going to meet my parents after this, you know," Anna added.

"How about after the fight?" Alex asked.

"Sure. The fight won't be that long anyway." Alicia nodded while looking at Firia.

"Yes. Well, I won't be suppressed by your Pure Fire, but I doubt I will be useful in the battle." She shrugged before patting Rose's shoulder. "That's why prepare yourself for the punishment."

"Wait. What?! Why are you giving up just like that?" Rose started seeing how dim the future fight would be.

"Haha. That's why I said you shouldn't talk big, especially in front of your Master." Alex laughed while gently hitting Rose's head.

"Ugh. I am already bullied even before the fight starts…This is just a master abusing his disciple." Rose pouted.

"Oh, you also need to meet with the Five Guardians and Six Elemental Gods. I have promised them. As for the Ten Commandants, they are not here at the moment, so I will just notify them about your presence," Lin Xingzhi reminded him about his schedule.

"Alright. I will leave it to you. Now that I think about it, my schedule here is pretty tight, isn't it?" Alex scratched the back of his head.

"Agree."

"Anyway, I have a planet near this place that suits to be your fighting arena. All the resources on the planet have been excavated while no one is living there at the moment. We usually used it to hold a competition or something, so it's perfect. How about going there tomorrow?" Lin Xingzhi asked.

"Sure." Alex nodded.

"I will ask for the compass. For now, you should rest after doing all those things outside. Well, we also need to give way for the newbies." Lin Xingzhi smiled while winking at Anna and the others.

"I don't mind."

"Same."

"Before that, Letizia, Rose, Evelyn, I will be sending you three to the planet I was in not long ago to learn Weapon Qi. It will surely benefit you, and I have the perfect mentor for you. Of course, you can stay in this world for another month before training there. After that, should we go somewhere?" Alex smiled.

Evelyn's and Letizia's eyes brightened. It was the invitation for the honeymoon, showing that he already accepted them.

The two became even more eager to complete the training. Their eyes intertwined as they nodded at each other, sharing the same mind.

"Of course, Rose won't be part of it. This will be included in the punishment when you lose against me in the fight tomorrow." Alex didn't forget to tease Rose again.

"No way." She could only sulk after all this while the garden filled with laughter.
