Gacha Sovereign

A few minutes ago,

The Martial Kings had arrived at Carageo City, and they were greeted by a single Martial Lord.

"Welcome, Seniors."

"How is it going?" An old man asked.

"Yes. We have set the stage, and Senior can use the array anytime."

"Then how about the participants in this tournament? We are purposely going this late because we want others to show their talents and prowess. That way, we can make them submit and become the pawn of our kingdom."

"There are a few noticeable people, such as Thiveapia Kingdom's genius Princess, Evelyn, or Rainbow Flower Sect's Mina. However, there are two people that perfectly fit Senior's influence."

"Hoo… Do tell."

"The first one is a female from Rainbow Flower Sect. She is the daughter of the sect master, and she has the Pure Ice Element."

"Pure Ice Element?" The old man and the others opened their eyes in surprise. "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"I see. Good good. This is excellent news for Brynhildr Kingdom since the kingdom does not have a Pure Element yet." The old man nodded before noticing something. "You said the first one… then, there is the second one?"

"Yes." The Martial Lord nodded as his expression turned serious. "The second one is a male from Heavenly Sword Sect. According to our information, he is only in his early twenties, and he has only joined Heavenly Sword Sect for three years. Within that time, He manages to advance from 1-Star Martial Master to 8-Star Martial Lord."

"I see. That must be the golden lightning boy." The elder nodded. "I have the information about that boy."

"Se-senior. I am afraid this boy is different than reported." The Martial Lord said with a bit of an unsure tone.

"What do you mean?"

"This boy is a Sword King and a Spear King despite his young age."

"What?!" They were shocked once again. The elder asked hurriedly, "What is the size of his domain?"

"Both have 100 meters." He answered.

The old man immediately pondered for a moment. A hundred meters was the minimum size for a Sword King to do a decent battle with its own power, so he was assured that this boy was really a Sword King. Still, he was unsure whether this boy was a Spear King or not since they lacked information.

"Fu…" The old man's expression turned serious. "Alright, you are not needed here. Go back to the army and tell everyone to get ready. We will destroy all the sects and kingdoms in this continent as soon as we kill the people in the tournament."

"Yes." The Martial Lord nodded his head and disappeared.

"Our main goal is this continent and its resources, but having two bonuses such as Pure Ice Element and Sword King is really a good thing. Let's move." The elder said.

…

A few minutes later,

"Show yourself." Honda Sana roared while releasing the full might of a Peak Martial King. The people in the arena were confused about this but still looking up.

Suddenly, an old man appeared out of nowhere. The old man was using a staff to support his body even though he was flying in the air.

All of his hair had gone from his head, leaving his short beard as the only 'hair' in his head. He looked at Honda Sana with his blue eyes.

Honda Sana narrowed her eyes as this was the people Alex told her. Although only this old man was the one who showed himself, she knew there were another 14 Martial Kings that were still hiding.

She looked at the old man's clothes. His long white robe had a symbol, and she clearly knew that symbol. "Brynhildr Kingdom."

"You are right. This old man is from Nilis Continent's Brynhildr Kingdom. As expected from the next leader of Northern Continent's Honda Family… No, I should call you the Servant of the Blackwade Clan. With your power, you can become the head of your second rate influence, Honda Family, but you choose to serve the Blackwade Clan." The old man said with a smile.

"Hmph. Are your Brynhildr Kingdom going to make war with the entire Wilow Continent and Northern Continent?!" Honda Sana snorted.

"Of course we know about the pact between continents. However, as long as no one informs the Northern Continent about this, we can gain an extended time of peace where we can get enough resources from this continent to grow."

"So, just to stop me, you are planning to fight with all those people?" Honda Sana looked in another direction as fourteen people suddenly appeared.

"Correct!"

"Your Brynhildr Kingdom is almost a second rate influence so long you can birth a single Martial Emperor." Honda Sana narrowed her eyes.

"Nonetheless, you are going to die in this place together with these people." The old man said as he raised his wand. "Activate!"

Suddenly, the ground started glowing as the light coming from the array beneath the arena managed to go through the gap between the stones.

"What is this light?"

"Wait, what is happening? My element…"

"Ugh, my body refuses to move!"

"What is this pain?"

The people started falling down one after another. Only Martial Kings that did not find anything wrong with it. The Buddha Sect's sect master looked around and panicked. "What is this?"

As for Cecilia and Xiang Bai, they were still calm in this situation. They just got a bit surprised when they saw the king of Zhou Kingdom was one of the Martial Kings.

Meanwhile, Alex was also down to the ground. When the array was activated, he also had a feeling of suppression since his Pure Fire was still contained inside his Phoenix Seed. However, the Pure Fire immediately broke it open and resisted the elemental suppression coming from the array, so he did not feel a single thing. Even so, he acted like he got suppressed by it and fell to the ground. Seeing that, Letizia also fell down to the ground, following his action.

Alex looked at Letizia and nodded his head.

Letizia immediately murmured, "I surrender."

Even though no one recognized this, it was still recognized by the system.

[Mission: First Rank in Martial Lord Tournament (Complete)

Reward: Premium Gacha Tickets 20x & Super EXP (UR) Card]

[Mission: First Rank in Martial Grandmaster Tournament (Complete)

Reward: UR Spirit Card x1

Note: If Host participates in the Martial Lord Tournament, you will automatically complete this mission as soon as the tournament ends.]

Alex smiled as he immediately said to the system. "Use the Super EXP card to Jeanne."

[Processing]

[Jeanne (Thunder)

Level: 46/80 (6-Star Martial King Stage)

Exp: 124321/370000]

Jeanne immediately advanced a whole realm from 6-Star Martial Lord to 6-Star Martial King. This was his backup plan since Nelson could not help him with the army. After all, in one on one fight, she might not be as powerful as Leoz, but she certainly was the fastest one who would finish the battle.

So, Alex wanted Jeanne to assassinate as many as Martial Lord as possible. And with this, the situation had changed. He did not have the time to go through the Premium Tickets and UR Spirit Card, so he ignored them first.

Alex then observed the people in the air and saw only the people from Zhou Kingdom had the blood red energy. He thought it was normal as the enemy would not want to use that pill to their Martial Kings. But it was also a relief for him since his spirits would not need to watch out for the Berserk Pill.

In the air, the old men then looked toward Alex and Letizia. "Both of you have high talent, so I will offer you this. Swear your undying loyalty to the kingdom, and we will nurture you!"

Alex, who was on his knees, snorted. "Leave sleep talking when you are asleep."

"You bastard, when Elder Ryan is talking, you only need to shut your mouth and accept it gratefully."

"Hoho… I like this young man's strong personality. But, I wonder how long you can hold onto that personality of yours? I cherish your abilities, so I will make sure you do not die. Still, I don't say you won't feel pain if you decide to reject me from the get-go." He then turned to the Martial Kings from the Zhou Kingdom. "One of you beat him first and make him swear his loyalty to Brynhildr Kingdom. Don't worry, as long as he has sworn his loyalty, he would not be able to betray us no matter how much he hates us."

One of them nodded and moved toward Alex.

"You bastard!" Honda Sana tried to save him, but she was blocked by ten people. Two from each 5-Star to 10-Star Martial King, except the 9-Star Martial King. They immediately released their Spiritual Energy and surrounded her so she could not save him.

Honda Sana gritted her teeth as she watched a Martial King come to Alex. She murmured before smirking, "50 seconds…"

Meanwhile, the 1-Star Martial King came to Alex and snorted. "Heh… You have stopped our plans a few times and killed many of our people. This time, I will make you understand pain."

He grabbed Alex's hair and raised him up. "You are lucky since Elder Ryan fancy your abilities. If not, you will have the same fate as all the people inside this city. Death!"

The people gasped when they heard that. Even so, they could not do anything because of the suppression that they knew nothing of.

"51… 52…" Alex murmured as he smiled. He slowly raised his hand as he covered it with his Sword Domain.

The Martial King snorted as he thought this was only Alex's last struggle. "Even if you are a Martial King, you won't be able to fi-eh?!"

Just before he finished, he realized his vision turned upside down before he saw his body without a head.

In that instant, Alex used a very fast movement and sent his head flying with his hand that was acting as a sword. The light that came from beneath the arena started to disappear, and the people began to notice the change.

"Eh? I can move my body again?"

"That's right, that feeling is gone."

The people rose from the ground with a clueless expression.

Alex only snorted as he looked up. "Trash."

"!!!" They had yet to realize what was going on, but the fact that one of the Martial King's had died in Alex's hand was clear to see.

Suddenly, someone was rushing toward Alex with a sword in his hand. After seeing his comrade died, he could not hold this feeling. "You bastard, how dare you to kill him!"

"Don't kill him!" Elder Ryan wanted to kill the one who rushed to him. Still, he and the others were stopped by Honda Sana as she released her Spiritual Energy.

Alex only smiled when he saw him coming. He took out Anna's card and summoned her secretly.

"!!!" The Martial King immediately recognized this pressure that was coming from his side. He immediately swung his sword to the right, but it was too late.

"You dare to point your sword to my husband. You deserve death!" Anna's scythe was already on his neck and immediately beheaded him.

"Hiss-!" The people could not react at all as they saw a heavenly beauty suddenly come.

However, it was different for the people from Brynhildr Kingdom. Elder Ryan immediately shouted, "Mica, Zink, kill them! They have realized our plan."

Seeing Anna was a 5-Star Martial King, he immediately sent two 6-Star Martial Kings.

The two nodded and charged toward Anna and Alex. However, at this time, Alex summoned Leoz and Jeanne at the same time.

"!!!" The two Martial Kings realized faster than the Martial King from Zhou Kingdom, but they were still too late. Even though Leoz and Jeanne could not kill them, each of them managed to get one hand.

The two Martial Kings immediately retreated while looking at them.

Alex said as he summoned Fabio, the last Martial King, "You want to fight with numbers? I have too. Better quality than yours to boot."

In the arena, there were Alex as well as four Martial Kings beside him. Alex said, "Do it."

Four of them nodded to his command and said,

"True Spirit Body!"
