Gacha Sovereign

A few days after they came back, Nelson finally arrived. He wanted to meet Alex immediately, but Alex was in a crucial step.

"Ha!" He was controlling his fire, condensing a pill. "Condense!!"

This was the only thing Alex did in the past few days. He was busy making the Energy Pill and became a 9-Star Martial Lord. As for Sherry, she had gone through her evolution and fell asleep. Kyle needed two or three months before he slept.

And since the others also did not have anything to do, they were searching for a 10-Star Martial Lord monster for Alex since the Alchemist Guild could not provide that.

After making the pill, he recovered his Spiritual Energy and swallowed the pill. He needed around three days just to break through to the 9-Star Martial Lord. After that, he came out of his room. He saw all of his spirits in this house, waiting for him.

"Sorry, it took me a bit longer," Alex said.

"Take all the time you need, Alex." Anna smiled. The others also said with their own unique response.

"That's right. I will chop the one who dares to complain!" (Anya)

"It's not like we are waiting for you, alright." (Tsundere Couple)

"Gahaha… I am focused on my training, so I am fine." (Leoz)

"I am Young Master's shield. I am ready 24/7 to make sure no one injures you." (Greg)

"Haha… I am always in this place, so it is a shame that I can't protect the one in need out there." Artur laughed.

"Patient is the basic requirement for one who walks in the shadow." (Nelson)

"Master… This is already a week… my punishment is already over, right? Can you summon my brother? I promise I will be a good girl." (Jeanne)

Alex smiled at them. He took his UR Spirit Card, which he got from the reward. Alex said, "Summon."

The card turned into Jean's card and summoned a gate in front of them. The guy was very handsome with long light blue hair. His crystal blue eyes could charm many women out there. He wore fancy but a bit open clothes, making the others see his perfect body underneath.

He walked toward Alex and kneeled in front of him like a perfect guy. "Jean greets Young Master."

When Alex wanted to say something, Jeanne suddenly leaped toward Jean and clung on his neck. "Jean!!! I miss you."

"Ah, Sister. I also miss you. It's been a while indeed." Jean smiled. He looked like a perfect guy outside, but none of the spirits could look him that way. After all, they knew his character…

"Let's go! We need to play right now! I am frustrated right now, so I will make sure you have your fill tonight." Jeanne said with a big smile.

"Sister…" Jean looked at her with a troubled expression. However, his expression turned into a blissful expression of a sudden. "You make me blush…"

All of them twitched their eyebrows, including Alex. Jean was a hardcore 'M'.

"Good good good. As expected of my brother." Jeanne nodded happily.

"Still, we are in the presence of Young Master, so we should wait a bit first… But, thinking how Young Master will punish me if I disobey him… guhehe…"

Alex already clenched his fist upon this point, but before he knew it, the others already took out their weapons while making a scary expression.

"Stop your play for the time being. If not, I will need to punish you, Jeanne… As for Jean… I will be nice to you and treat you like a king."

Jean suddenly dropped his jaw and fell to the floor while saying, "No no no… Young Master. Please don't do it, I beg you."

"Master… you can only say that because you don't understand the true pleasure in torture!" Jeanne shouted. "The goal of torture isn't to harm the body. In fact, there's no point in killing someone. Granting death is the easiest and most boring thing you can do.

"Torture is about killing the heart. That's why I normally won't take any life or knock the target out. I will make sure to make them alternate between relief and anxiety, which will gradually kill their spirit. I will try to inject or do something that they think is a bad thing, but actually not, just like trying to make them relax by injecting a muscle relaxant medicine. However, they will think it is something that can take away their consciousness.

"First, I will gradually take away their ability to control your body and keep them from sleeping. They will be conscious, but they won't be able to do anything. Then, I will be able to completely have my way with them. They will stop being able to tell the difference between pleasure and pain. They will forget ethical concepts such as "good" and "evil," as well. Everything will be chaos. Eventually, they will tell me everything and won't even feel remorse since such emotions will be long lost to them anyway.

"Look, I am very kind, am I not? I don't actually kill them if I am not forced by the situation. And they are pretty boring anyway when they are broken. That's why Jean, who will endure everything that I throw to his way perfectly, is the best brother I can have. This is the true pleasure in torture. Master, how about you try it too?" Jeanne explained passionately.

"I see. Torture huh… You want me to try it too?" Alex narrowed his eyes.

"Yes! I am sure you will know the true pleasure in torture." Jeanne said proudly, thinking she managed to persuade Alex.

"Then, you can't do anything to Jean for a month."

"!!!" Jeanne just got the shock of her life. "Ma-ma-master!"

"You said I need to learn about it too, right? Here, I will try it on you. If you somehow sneakily do it, then it will be a year, ten years, and so on." Alex smiled with a very very dark expression.

Jeanne fell on her butt, thinking this was only a dream. Her stare was empty like a broken toy.

"As expected of Master… only Master can handle Sister… If only I were in my sister's place...Guhehe." Jean drooled a bit. He did not even realize he called Alex with 'Master,' not 'Young Master.'

Alex then came in front of Jean. He helped him up as he was still kneeling.

"Master?!" Jean looked at him, confused.

"It's a nice day, isn't it, Jean?" Alex smiled.

"Yes. It's a nice day."

"I see. How about having tea? I will make it for you." Alex made a big smile.

Jean froze when he heard that. Alex simply continued, "Then, you can rest for a while. Don't worry. I won't give you any mission since you have endured so much."

"Ma-Master!" Jean was scared out of his life.

"Fufu, then we can chat about all the things and enjoy our lives."

Jean shuddered as he instinctively scratched his neck. "Ah! Master, please stop! Don't do this…"

He fell to the ground while scratching his necks until it was red, and eventually, he could not do anything like his soul had come out of his body.

The others were looking at each other while making a weird face. They had the same thought. 'Whether it is in the past or the present. Only Alex can handle these two perfectly.'

Alex took a deep breath before calling all of his spies: Nicole, Nano, Ngina, Njomo, Noel, and Noah.

"I am sure a few of you already know this, but I will stay on this continent to train my basics for a year after my tribulation to Martial King," Alex said.

"We are going to the Northern Continent first then?" Anya instantly realized what he was trying to say.

"Yes." Alex nodded. "Of course, all of you will stick around with me for a few months until my advancement is over. But it seems Nelson is going to stay in Nilis Continent."

Nelson nodded. "It should be fine if I am alone. Since I am a Martial King now, I also have the power to control my soul. This way, I can make a perfect clone and cover a wider area. And since Young Master won't have to deal with Nilis Continent or Sacred Continent, I can take my time to investigate all of them."

"That's what he said. Any of you have a problem?" Alex asked the others.

All of them instantly shook their heads. They all knew Nelson's ability and knew he would do his job well, so they did not have any objection about his plan.

"And who will oversee this continent?" Alex asked.

"Ah, I will do it." Ngina volunteered. "I think the others would be more useful in the Northern Continent. And I am sure Young Master needs a translator for Njomo and the others. I will do that job."

Alex looked at him and ultimately nodded his head. "I see, thank you."

"As for the others, what would you do?" Alex then asked the other UR spirits.

Anya was the one who answered him. "We will go to the Northern Continent first before you. This is to make us accustomed to their custom and make preparation to welcome you. We also can raise our level there. Since the monsters over there are powerful, we can advance by leaps and bound within a year."

Anna suddenly came to him. "Alex… I am thinking about going with them too, so I can't accompany you for a year."

"I see…" Alex looked at her for a while. "I… Thank you."

Noticing the situation becoming awkward, Anna tried to change the topic. "Actually, My sister is the one who will accompany you here. Since my power is more useful for combat than them, it is better this way. She can take care of Sherry and Kyle as well as that brat, Evelyn, at the same time."

"You will?" Alex looked at Anya.

"Yes. I will make sure everything is alright. You already know about my Light Element, and I don't really possess enough combat skills and are more focused on support. Since they are not going to do something big and just raise their level, I don't think I am needed.

"And when all of us gather again and have reached Martial Kings or even Martial Emperors, I think it will be good to make a little group and spread our name in the Northern Continent. This way, we can avoid any small problem just by using our name. I will handle the development and make our group as mysterious as possible to avoid our group from being targeted." Anya smiled.

"Then, you are going to think of a development plan in this house?"

"Yes. I will get general information from the spies anyway, so I can draw a map and other things for you." Anya nodded.

"Well, I agree with it. As long as the others don't have any objection, then we will proceed this way." Alex nodded.

The others obviously did not have any objection. Even if they had, they would not be able to come up with a better plan anyway.

Nelson then came to the front and presented him with a space ring.

Alex grabbed the space ring and checked what was inside. Inside the space ring were many space rings. Because of the limited space inside the space ring, they just stored the space ring that had many things inside another Space Ring. This way, they could have infinite storage. It seemed Nelson also had sorted all of them according to their types.

"Thank you, Nelson."

"It's nothing." Nelson nodded.

"Alright. For the time being, all of you can do anything. I will start refining my body." Alex said. He was also planning to open his gacha. After looking at them for the last time, especially the broken Jeanne and the dead Jean, he came back to his room.
