Gacha Sovereign

"Young Lord… Are you sure about this?" The one that seemed to be the leader of the men in black asked the mysterious guy.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know if you have known it or not, but according to our information, the guy in front of us is related to the Spirit World. Seeing so many high-level spirits amongst them, I am afraid this guy is someone extraordinary."

"The Spirit huh…" The mysterious guy thought for a moment and smiled. "If I remember correctly, the previous Spirit God… No, wait!"

"Young Lord?"

"Ah, I see. So that's how it is all along." The mysterious guy smirked. "Do you trust me?"

"Young Lord?"

"Answer me. Do you trust me?"

"Ye-yes. With every cell in my body."

"Then, beat them up!"

"What?!" The leader was startled upon this request. He suddenly remembered why this person wanted to come here.

It started a few days ago in a rundown house where they usually met.

"Young Lord… This is the information about the Spaceship that we saw not long ago." The man handed a paper full of information.

"Hmm?" The mysterious guy furrowed his eyebrows. "So, there was an interesting war like this, and the spaceship seemed to be one of the allies. Have you confirmed the information about this leader like figure?"

"I don't know. I can't find anything besides the fact that his companions seem to have cultivated a technique that can boost their power after transforming a few parts of their bodies into animals."

"Then…" The mysterious guy finally finished reading it and looked back at his subordinate before dropping the paper unconsciously.

"Young Lord?" Obviously, such an action guaranteed a weird face coming from that man. He looked at his master that seemed to have witnessed something outrageous.

"Ha… Haha…. Hahaha…" Suddenly, he laughed out loud, creating more and more confusion.

And yet, his subordinate didn't ask and waited for him to calm down before he asked. "What happened? Why would you laugh like that?"

"The time is moving again."

"The time?" He tilted his head before remembering a certain matter that sent a chill all over his body. "Young Lord, do you mean…"

"Yes. It's not that long, but it's certainly moving again." He picked up a mirror and looked at his own face. "My time is moving again. It seems he is the piece that I am looking for."

"Are you going to that place?"

"Of course."

"For what reason? Are you going to make him your subordinate?"

"No. He is indeed one of the keys, but I will still beat him up. And in case I am disappointed, it's better to kill him myself. There is no need to be fixated over a broken 'key'. We can simply search for another one."

"Still, he must be something else if he can move your time again."

"I don't know. At the very least, I am going to test him myself."

"I know your way of handling things, but if you are not careful, you might get a huge problem, you know. In the case that he holds a grudge against you and haunts you, I am afraid…"

"It's fine. I don't mind. Every key is precious, but at the same time, they are not. That's why I shall gamble all of it every time I meet a key and throw them out if they do not meet my expectation. Even if they are going at me in the future, I don't mind running away. Because if it means the time can be extended, then I will have more time to find my wife. At that time, I will cross whatever tribulation is coming to me."

"…" The guy fell into silence. His wife… is his only motivation to keep going. He wanted to become a God Rank Expert or an influential figure because of his wife. For the sake of finding his wife, this guy became an absolute madman. However, it is also because of that loyalty that he could follow him with all his heart.

"Well, I guess I need to borrow a small ship from that old man to go to this world." He scratched his head.

"Ahaha… Yes. Unfortunately, I can't help you with this matter."

"Fine. This will take a while."

"And it seems their world is attacked by that world… The one that is filled with beasts."

"Oh! Maybe we can disguise ourselves as one of them. Well, if he is worth my time, he should be able to see through something this simple."

"I understand." The man paused before saying the last piece of information. "There is one more thing you need to know."

"What is it?"

"It's better for us to go together. I am afraid, but this guy has a Space Element. There is a chance of him escaping or fighting calling his teammates. That's why…"

"Fine. Bring all your friends. We shall head out tomorrow." He nodded, rose from his seat, and left the room with a troubled face.

Recalling this, the guy didn't know what to say to his Young Lord.

"Young Lord. I would like to ask it one more time. Are you sure?"

Offending the Spirit World would be a tremendous offense that his backing wouldn't dare to take. And yet, the mysterious guy only said. "The time is still the same. None of us will die anytime soon. You should have known my ability, right?"

"!!!" The men in black glanced at him and nodded their heads. The leader then signaled them to move out. "Hold their people back. Let the Young Lord do whatever he wants."

"Yes, Sir!" They leaped.

While they were conversing, Alex was also planning to do something. On one hand, he wanted to escape first to ascertain his identity. On the other hand, he was worried about the people that went inside just now. If they had many thoughts, it would be troublesome because they couldn't really delay their plan.

"Master… Who are they?"

"I don't know." Alex shook his head. "At first, I thought they were on the same side as those monsters, but it isn't the case. I think we should fix this troublesome thing first before we can proceed with our plan."

"How about creating another portal on that hole? I believe we should get more reinforcement in this situation. Our opponents are either 9-Star or 10-Star Martial Saints. Even with our strength and number, it's still hard to beat them." Anya gritted her teeth.

"I know. Still, that guy cut my portal earlier. The time needed to bring the reinforcement… I doubt we will have that time. As long as we kill one of them, we should be able to create an opportunity."

"I understand."

"Seeing that guy is targeting me, I will handle this person myself. Even though our gap is big, I should be able to contain him. By using that, you guys need to get rid of the rest."

"Making yourself a bait?" Anya frowned.

"His obsession in me is too great. It's better to do this, so all of you can focus. If needed, I am ready to use the EXP Cards."

"…" Anya fell into silence and nodded. "Alright then."

…

At the same time, there was another party that seemed to have their own discussion.

"Milady. I have canceled all your matters for today, and the spirits have also returned home." Korzan nodded.

"Korzan… Do you doubt my decision?"

"No…" Korzan, previous life Alex's right-hand man, paused for a moment before letting out a long sigh. "A little bit."

"I know that it's hard to swallow. However, there is something you need to know first. Come here." Lin Xingzhi waved his hand, asking him to come closer.

Korzan walked carefully. Before he looked at the screen, he looked at Lin Xingzhi's hand first. "Milady. Your hand…"

"It's fine. I just clench it a bit too hard earlier."

"…" Korzan fell into silence. She said it was a bit too hard, but he could see that it penetrated too deep to the point he could see bones from the wound. From this alone, he realized that Lin Xingzhi didn't want this more than him.

In other words, there must be something serious going on. Since Lin Xingzhi didn't want it to be treated, Korzan decided to look at the screen. It was at this time, he saw the picture of that man, especially his eyes.

"Those eyes…" Korzan opened his mouth in surprise.

"You should know that my Father is the former Time God, right?"

"Yes. However, his excellency didn't have these eyes…"

"Because he chose another path. My father told me when I was a child. There were two paths to awaken one's time element. First would be a huge emotional fluctuation. As you know, people usually realize their elements and unintentionally awaken them before five years old.

"However, if one possessed Time Element and got a huge emotional fluctuation without him knowing his own element along with other conditions… He would awaken the second path.

"My father awakened his Time Element normally. Because of that, his Time Element got strengthened, and he became a master of time manipulation. On the other hand, the second path would be the awakening of Time Eyes." Lin Xingzhi explained with a troubled look.

"Then, this young man has awakened his Time Eyes?"

"Yes. The ability of Time Eyes is different for each person. And because of this awakening, the power in his Time Element will be weakened. That's why he needs Sword to complement his time ability." Lin Xingzhi paused.

"If everyone is different, then milady…"

"From all the information that I got from my father, his eyes seemed to resemble one type of eyes."

"And that is…"

"Eyes of Death. Its ability is a bit complicated, but there is one thing for sure. It can calculate someone's lifespan."

"!!!" Korzan opened his eyes wide. "I see. Master shouldn't meet this person in a normal situation. There must be something going on for a person like him to visit our Master…"

"Yeah. I am still unsure whether what I am thinking is true or not, but no matter how hard it is, I need to watch this fight to its conclusion."

"Still, I believe milady will still visit this guy after this fight."

"Hmph! Although he doesn't have an intention to kill my husband, he still attacks him. That's why he should pay the price. Besides, he should have guessed Alex's identity by now. Even so, he still uses himself as bait… In that case, I should pay a visit to this person, right? Maybe 'correcting' him a bit."

Korzan smiled, knowing she was planning to beat him into pulp.

"Seeing this scene, I believe the time is near. Alex needs to get stronger as quickly as possible because there is no telling what will happen in the future."

"I understand. We should be able to get his home plane easily, and I will personally work on this." Korzan nodded before asking another question. "By the way, if I may ask, what is Milady's prediction about this problem? No, what is this problem itself?"

"Korzan…" Lin Xingzhi closed her eyes for a few seconds before a chilling killing intent leaked out of her body. "Do you want to lose your Master twice? I have no plan to lose my husband twice. Even if it means I need to lie to my own husband or he will be angry at me for eternity, I am still not prepared to lose him twice."

"!!!" Korzan didn't know why, but he somehow understood the real meaning behind her words. Even now, he still occasionally has a nightmare about that accident. If not because of that incident, their master would still work as the Spirit God. "Still, even if he is different… Master is still with us. This Korzan is ready to offer his life at any moment, let alone lying. Even if I need to go for eternal torture, I shall keep this a secret."

"Remember. Tell no one about this. Even Alex asks personally, you shall never tell the truth. Only you and I can know this matter for the time being. When the time comes, I will tell Alex the truth myself."

"I understand." Korzan nodded with a solemn expression. "Then may I request another thing from you?"

"What is it?"

"I would like to watch Master's battle with my own eyes."

"…" Lin Xingzhi thought and nodded. "Suit yourself."
