Chapter 1118: Spirit God's Power

Meanwhile, in Eulja, specifically in Alex's castle, a woman who was in the middle of cultivation suddenly opened her eyes. She was a Rank 2 God too but didn't participate in the battle. 

Looking at the window, she sighed. "I smell death…"

She stared with empty eyes for a few more minutes before deciding something.

…

As for the actual battlefield, it was chaotic, especially with how their sneak attack was read by Alex. 

"My Lord, We have been stopped by Eulja and two more influences. If I'm not wrong, they are from the Beast Kingdom and One Thousand Fire Palace."

The moment they heard that report, all five God Kings were tongue-tied. The Goddess of Destiny frowned as she wondered why she didn't think there would be a traitor in their rank. 

Unfortunately, performing divination to see everyone's fate again would take a long time and there was no way that their group could win against these people.

"Kh!" The Metal God gritted his teeth.

While they were grumbling about their predicament, Alex raised his hand and shouted. "I will leave the Earth God to you, God of Destruction. Palm God will handle Battle God. As for God of Wrath, you handle him, Holy God."

"Hmph. I don't like to be ordered, but I guess this is a better match-up." Raiju snorted and released his destruction power, channeling some of it toward the Earth God. 

"Since my son-in-law said so, I shall do my part as a father-in-law." Palm God nodded with a calm expression before getting kicked on his butt by his wife. "Just shut up. It's not confirmed yet. Every time you talk about it, I want to throw up, let alone him! Just shut your mouth and fight him already."

"Wife, how about you support me for once? You are literally embarrassing me in front of everyone." Palm God scratched the back of his head.

"If you have become a proper God King, I will stop. But I guess I won't live to see it."

"Eh! Who dares to kill you? Battle God? I will kill him right now." Palm God released his killing intent and summoned the one thousand hands behind his back. "Wait for me here."

The War Goddess only shook her head helplessly. "This is why I won't be able to see it again, you dummy."

Holy God, on the other hand, facepalmed and took a peek at his opponent the Wrath God. "I shall also do my duty. I hope I can be forgiven."

The three God Kings marched toward their respective opponent, bringing their respective army in tow.

After confirming their movement, Alex turned to Lin Xingzhi and Song Goddess, whose name was Rinrin. "Song Goddess, you will be handling the Goddess of Destiny. Xingzhi, you handle the other one." 

"Please call me, Rinrin, Your Majesty." 

"You do know that's impossible, right?" Alex narrowed his eyes. 

"Ahaha…" Rinrin made a weird smile before clenching her zither. "Then, I will handle my opponent first."

While she flew toward the Goddess of Destiny, Lin Xingzhi sent him a thought transmission, asking, 'Although I personally know Rinrin, I don't know if I can trust her just yet.'

Alex nodded in agreement. 'Don't worry. At least, she won't betray us in this battle. I will set up a meeting with her later with Silvia's student, Axis, present. You should know about his special ability, right?' 

'Ah, I see. We will see whether she tells the truth or not.' 

'Yep. After this battle ends, I hope you can tell me about the connection between her and me.'

'Well, I have told you that the Song Goddess was once a part of Eulja, but I couldn't remember who she was. Since I have confirmed her identity, I will tell you about it later.' She agreed with his request before opening her mouth. "Anyway, I need to beat that Bear." 

"Yes. Be careful." Alex smiled.

Lin Xingzhi then headed toward the Metal God with a grim expression. 

"It's enough, you idiotic bear. I don't want to hear any more sh*t coming out of your mouth," said Lin Xingzhi with a harsh tone. She couldn't contain herself anymore since the opponent was not a normal human. But a creature under someone who actively attacked and killed Alex in the past. 

There was no way she could control herself. She raised both hands as the first Element Disturbance appeared. 

At the same time, the Metal God cladded his entire body with his Metal Power, turning himself into silver metal. He narrowed his eyes and laughed. "I don't know what you are talking about, but do you think you have the chance against me, Nature Goddess?"

"Then, I will show you." Lin Xingzhi snorted. 

Before he received her attack, he turned around and shouted. "Kill Alexander Sirius. As long as we get him, we will be able to win this battle."

Fifty Rank 2 Gods came out and charged toward Alex. 

The Holy God, Destruction God, and Palm God sent all their Rank 2 Gods other than the one leading their armies such as the Saintess and War Goddess. 

Unfortunately, there were only twenty-seven people out of thirty people that came. Song Goddess also sent ten Rank 2 Gods, but it meant Alex needed to take on the remaining thirteen. 

"…" Alex narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. He knew that there was a low chance he could kill all of them here, since, unlike the Array God, this massive army had multiple destinations to escape, so he knew there would be another war coming after finishing this one.

Hence, he hid Alaya and ten God Beasts for the next war since Alaya would have regained her cultivation while the ten God Beasts would have made sure of their identities and sniff them to their nest.

Still, aside from the Five Guardians and Six Elemental Gods, he still needed to face another two Rank 2 Gods. 

'It seems I have made a mistake. I should send the God Beasts to the other battlefield while bringing Sullivan here." Alex thought for a moment and sighed. "William. Buy me time. I will try to kill one Rank 2 God." 

"Your Majesty…" William widened his eyes in disbelief. Even the others also looked at him worriedly. Although they knew that Alex could fight someone more powerful than him, they only believed it was a Rank 3 God, not a Rank 2 God. 

"Trust me. Since it's going to be out sooner or later, I will use it all here." Alex nodded while activating his Spirit Crown.

"Then take this." Rilt had transformed to his True Spirit Body and increased Alex's strength like any others. "This will make me less worried." 

"Haha, thanks." Alex smiled. 

"Uoh! What's this? I can't accept something like this. To think His Majesty himself is going to face this danger." Agnis seemed to be lamenting over the fact that Alex wanted to fight a Rank 2 God. "Are all of you not ashamed of yourself? I'm going all out from the beginning. True Spirit Body."

Seeing his reaction, they sighed and activated their True Spirit Body. The Guardians also prepared for the battle as they leaped toward the remaining Rank 2 Gods. 

"Spirit God is in danger!" shouted someone from their rank as they saw a Rank 2 God slipped past their line and headed straight to Alex.

Alex looked at the blue-haired middle-aged man that came to him. According to what he had seen inside his body, he had a wind element. They might have learned about his Godly Pure Fire, so he couldn't complain about this. Instead, he focused on his skill. 

Although this was only for one time thing, he might be able to gain an advantage for this battle. He smiled and summoned both his sword and spear.

"Die!" The blue-haired Rank 2 God shouted while slashing his blade. 

Alex narrowed his eyes and used the power from the Spirit Crown, Spirit Step, and the additional strength from Rilt to meet this blade. 

"What?!" He alone was surprised because he knew he could push Alex back, but the effect wasn't like what he imagined. 

While clashing like this, Alex released all his Divine Energy and got blown away. 

He spun his body and leaped toward his enemy once again. 

However, this time, Alex looked so weak as he managed to send his sword flying before stopping his spear and grasping his neck. But then he realized someone's presence behind him and saw another Alex appear out of nowhere.

"!!!" He instantly noticed why the people hadn't shouted yet with their leader captured in his hand. It turned out that everything was a lie and what he had seen the whole time was a lie. 

Unfortunately for him, Alex was already so close, slashing his sword and spear at the same time. 

The enemy snapped fake Alex's neck to confirm his observation and forced himself to swing his sword toward Alex to stop that attack. 

Clang. 

"Tch." Alex clicked his tongue when he saw that his enemy managed to stop him, albeit barely. Even so, he seemed to suffer internal injury because of that force movement. 

This was Subjective Reality. An illusion technique that was subjective and could change what they saw depending on the user. It looked like a normal illusion technique, but if one took another look, there was one major difference. 

Instead of altering someone's vision, this one changed their perception and could affect the real world. The latter was impossible in the realm Illusion Array, but this was the original technique of the Dungeon God; there was no way it could be compared to a normal technique. 

Alex didn't want to waste this chance and activated his Fire Authority, covering his body with animal parts. At the same time, he channeled his power to his weapons. 

"One Sword Kill, Blade of Extinction."

Two Sword Waves flew out of his sword, blowing the Rank 2 God away as he still struggled to destroy this attack that contained Alex's Pure Weapon Qi, Absolute Blade Intent, and his two elements. 

"Kh! I won't lose." He shouted as the wind covered his sword. "Unlimited Burst." 

The sword released a powerful wind that tried to chip away the strength of the Sword Wave before destroying it. 

But Alex had arrived in front of him and thrust his spear. 

"No, you won't!" He gritted his teeth and raised his sword to stop the spear. "Severe Shot."

The sword contained powerful Wind Energy that seemed to be pushing anything that touched it away, but Alex truly released all his power. 

"Twin Fusion Spear." 

The spear struck the sword before bending the wind, sword, and reality itself. Unlike his previous control over Space Element, this one had been reinforced by Solidified and Covering Technique, so this thrust was even stronger. 

"What? My sword is ben—Gah!" The Rank 2 God gasped as he couldn't believe what he saw before an excruciating pain appeared on his back as Alex's fire element hit him like how this technique should be. 

Alex didn't stop there and slashed his sword downward, planning to take an arm. He used Weapon Qi, Soul, Intent, Element, and Divine Energy in this technique and released the mighty slash. 

"Five Purities Slash."

His opponent held that bending sword with two hands to blow that spear away and blocked Alex's sword. Yet, Alex took this one step further. 

He regained control over his spear and slashed it downward, using the same thing as his sword. 

"Five Purities Slash."

"Not good!" 

The slash took his opponent's right arm as he released him for a bit to adjust his state, passing his body. He then turned around, only to be greeted by a scream.

"Argh!" His opponent widened his eyes in pain, staring at Alex in disbelief.

"Huft." Alex took a deep breath after taking that arm.

Meanwhile, all the God Rank Experts out there were shocked by Alex's performance, especially those who saw him in the competition. They knew Alex wanted someone who had strong martial prowess, not just their cultivation. And this made them even understand why he desired such a person. After all, he was the perfect example of such a person. 

With his Rank 4 God strength, he could cut a Rank 2 God's arm without a helper. 

Every God King and his followers thought of the same thing. 

"So this is the Spirit God… Abnormal."
