Gacha Sovereign

"Yes. That's why I would like to start the training the day after tomorrow." Alex apologized to him first.

Rilt fell silent for a second and understood the situation. "I see. Alright then. Do your job first."

"Yes. I will do so." Alex nodded with a smile.

He spent the rest of the day in the mushroom house, learning about the family. He pretty much enjoyed what they did in the house.

The next day, Alex came out of the house and returned to the castle, meeting Lin Xingzhi in her room.

"I have informed them." Lin Xingzhi smiled as she glanced over Alex while checking the system once again.

"Is that so? How is the schedule?"

"They have agreed to meet you somewhere, but it seems they want to meet you separately. Luckily, I can convince them to at least be together with their own peers. In other words, you will meet the Six Elemental Gods except for Rilt and Vina and the Five Guardians."

"I understand. At least, I can finish this matter in one day." Alex nodded.

"Yeah." She nodded. "Zark has been waiting for us, so let us depart."

Alex followed her to meet Zark, and he immediately used his Teleportation Array to arrive in front of a small wooden hut.

"This is the place?" Alex narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. If we are meeting them somewhere else, they will surely destroy the building." She let out a long sigh, feeling frustrated just by thinking about it.

Alex observed her expression and shrugged. "Not that I mind though."

Before entering the hut, he checked his surroundings, finding nothing other than grass. However, the hut was a scary place.

He found six people inside the hut. Four of them were Rank 2 Gods, while the other two were Rank 3 Gods.

The moment he entered the hut, all the people inside already kneeled on one knee, lowering their heads to greet their king.

"We greet Your Majesty," they said in unison.

Alex looked at the closest person from the door. It was a middle-aged man with a muscular body like that of Korzan. He had strange red hair that even redder than his flame. At the same time, this boundless strength of his felt really hot.

Next to him was a young woman in her late thirties. Although she looked like a human, her ears looked like a fin. Coupled with her blue hair, he pretty much guessed who she was.

Behind her were two people. The younger one was a female with long green hair. She appeared to be the youngest here but still had Rank 3 God strength. There was no other visible clue that he could grasp to see what kind of person she was.

As for the older one, he had the same muscular body as that of the first one, but his hair was brown instead of red. The same as the one beside him, Alex couldn't understand what kind of being he was.

He then moved to the last two. The younger one was a male with a powerful lightning element inside him. There was also a familiar ferocity coming from his body, so Alex somehow grasped what kind of spirit he was.

As for the last one, she appeared to be the same age as the first one. Although he couldn't see her eyes, he had a feeling that this person was knowledgeable.

"I am Alexander Sirius. Although I have decided to fulfill my responsibility, I am still not your king in a sense, you know."

The first middle-aged man smiled and raised his head. "Your Majesty. With your promise to sit on that throne again, we feel relief. We won't ask for more."

"May I know your name?"

"Before that, I know that this is presumptuous, but I would like to ask what kind of spirit we are in Your Majesty's eyes," The middle-aged man asked politely.

Alex furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Xingzhi first. After she nodded, Alex then answered him honestly. "I can't really see yours, but I do see that you are familiar with magma. When I see your sharp eyes, maybe something like a dragon or something? No, probably a salamander?"

"You are correct." The middle-aged man lowered his head again. "My name is Agnis, a Salamander Spirit. I reside within the deep volcano not far away from here, and I use magma instead of fire. This humble self greets Your Majesty."

Alex nodded with a smile before glancing at the young woman beside him. "From the appearance alone, there is no doubt that you are the Water God. Well, according to my knowledge, you are like a mermaid…But if I go more extreme, I would guess a siren?"

"Yes, you are correct, Your Majesty. My name is Helena, Siren Spirit. My ability is related to water. It's even more powerful in outer space since it will naturally disperse itself, turning into hundreds of thousands of bullets in an instant. This humble self greets Your Majesty." She smiled.

Alex then turned to the two behind them. "I am not very sure with you two, so I can't really guess. There is no telling what kind of spirit you are. I can only see that the female can use plants while the older one has a very solid Earth Element."

"That can't be helped." The man raised his head with a smile. "I am Canaan, a Golem Spirit. And she is my daughter, Raisa, a Dryad Spirit. We greet Your Majesty."

Alex ignored the fact that he brought his daughter and looked at the last pair. "The same as earlier, I can't take your appearance as a clue so that I will be guessing. The young man has a ferocity that I am familiar with. He is like a tiger. As for the older one, I can feel that you have a wing behind your back. Why do you conceal it?"

The older one nodded. "I am Zerah, a thunderbird. Beside me is my son as well as my successor that will soon govern over the Lightning Spirit. His name is Saul. We greet Your Majesty."

"Thank you for introducing yourself. I don't know if I am worthy of being your king, but I will keep striving to be a better person than I was yesterday. I hope that you can help me during this period." Alex smiled.

"Of course, Your Majesty. Your will is our wish."

"And if it's possible, can you speak more casually with me? It's kind of tiring to act like this all the time," Alex said, feeling that all these people actually restrained themselves this whole time. In fact, he could sense the displeasure when they talked formally like this. "And you may rise."

"That's good then. We will take up that offer." Agnis smiled and rose from the ground, followed by everyone. "Before we talk about an important topic, may I speak something first, Your Majesty?"

"Go on." Alex stretched his hand, letting him do what he wanted.

Agnis then looked at the Golem Spirit, Canaan. "Still, why the heck are you bringing your daughter here? You should know that your daughter is not matched with his majesty, right?"

"What is your problem?" Canaan gritted his teeth before looking at Zerah, the thunderbird. "Look at her, doesn't she bring her own son?"

"I am bringing it here because I will soon retire… Probably within a few hundred years, so it's the best chance for him to understand more about this matter. And I don't have a hidden intention like yours." She snorted.

"What did you say? Do you want to fight?" Canaan narrowed his eyes.

"This is why you are a barbarian. In your brain, you only think about the fight. This is why you bring your daughter here. It's better to go home and have your own tree to satisfy your urge." Her expression darkened as she said all those words.

The next second, they are already in front of each other, clashing their hands. Zerah was holding Canaan's fist and released her lightning while Canaan only used his brute force.

Lin Xingzhi waved her hand and released her Divine Energy as those two instinctively retreated, feeling that their hands would be cut if they didn't do it.

They looked at Lin Xingzhi, whose expression was already dark even though she was smiling.

"If you two can't cut it out, should I send both of you back right now?"

"Sorry." The two immediately lowered their head but still glared at each other as if telling each other, "It was your fault."

"Alright. That's enough. I am here to talk with you guys." Alex smiled. "And when I am here, I don't know what topic I should talk about."

"Actually, we have a few things to say, Your Majesty. As much as we want to follow your order, it's better to not call us unless you have become the Spirit King officially," The Water God, Helena, said.

"I understand that. For now, I plan to lay low." Alex nodded with a serious expression.

"In that case, we feel relief. Without Anna, Leoz, and Jeanne, we only have twenty Rank 2 Gods in this world, so it's hard for us to defend ourselves for the time being." She sighed.

Before answering her, Alex asked Lin Xingzhi with a thought transmission. "Do they know about the system?"

"A little. Mostly, they are aware of it but don't know much of its function."

Alex nodded and turned around. "Although I don't have a plan to use this plan, just know that I have an assurance in an emergency situation. For example, I can make two Rank 1 Gods in an instant, but it requires all the resources in Eulja's treasury.

"Besides, it will also attract our enemies. They will surely join hands to attack us, so if possible, I want to avoid this situation until I am strong enough or there is no way out." Alex explained his card in hand.

All of them were amazed and confused at the same time. They were curious about his plan, but as long as he had this assurance, it was enough, they thought.

"Besides, I still don't know which rank they were previously…" Alex furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Xingzhi. "They" in his mouth were on other than the spirits that followed him through the system.

Since he had reached this point, she thought it wasn't a problem to tell the truth. "Leoz, Anna, Jeanne are Rank 2 Gods. Anya, Nelson, and Greg are Rank 3 Gods. The rest are Rank 4 Gods, but they are close to Rank 3 Gods to be honest. Well, they were your closest retainer, so that's why they were chosen."

"How many Rank 3 Gods do we have?" Alex asked.

"Hmm…We have around two hundred Rank 3 Gods. The Ten Guardians itself consists of four Rank 2 Gods and six Rank 3 Gods. If you ask where the other Rank 2 Gods are, they are enjoying their lives in their own territory. You will probably not meet them unless Eulja is on high alert."

"I see. It's better if this world is always in peace." Alex nodded with a smile before turning back to Helena. "What else?"

"We would like to know when are you planning to become the true ruler?" Helena brought the second question.

"If possible, I plan to drag it as long as possible. But in an emergency, I will immediately do it if it's necessary." Alex paused for a moment. "I don't know if this is an answer, but the ideal time for me is Rank 5 God. With my current strength, it will probably be enough to protect myself."

"I see. That's a relief." Helena nodded.

"In that case, on to my next question." Helena paused for a moment while fixing her hair. She looked at Alex seductively while asking with a mellow tone. "I wonder if Your Majesty happens to have an interest in someone like me?"

"What?" Alex widened his eyes while the others were shocked.

"That's not fair!" The other three Elemental Gods shouted in unison.
