Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 1000 - New Actor

Boom.

The explosion could be heard by everyone around the mountain, and its power was visible from afar. No one knew what kind of fight had happened there, but they were sure of one thing. It was one hell of a fight.

The Rank 6 God Elder and Quila immediately went toward the explosion as soon as it disappeared, looking around to see what happened. They desperately searched for the two bodies, alive or dead.

Not long after, they sensed someone's presence and immediately took out their weapons, wondering who it was.

The one they found was a black person that seemed to have been over grilled, but they managed to identify him by channeling their Divine Energy to see his strength.

It was the Elder on the same side. They immediately came toward him and asked what happened.

Unfortunately, the elder's condition was too bad. He couldn't respond to any of their inquiries. He had lost his arms, most of his Divine Energy, and a lot of blood, so it would take more than a year to recover.

Quila decided to take care of the elder while the other one investigated the area.

As expected from a Pure Fire Element user. His body was immune to fire, but the elder's sword was already planted on his heart, and when he checked his condition, there was no source of life anymore.

"He's died." He muttered and decided to return to Quila. When he saw the elder able to move a bit of his finger, he asked. "Did you kill him?"

The elder used his remaining energy to slightly lower his head as if he acknowledged it.

Finally, they could feel relieved because the threat had disappeared.

Little did they know, the real Alexander was already far away. His complexion wasn't like before. In fact, he looked like someone who hadn't gone through a "fierce" fight. He was completely fine, including the wound on his chest.

"To think the ability that I have never used finally has its time today," Alex muttered and looked at his chest. What he did earlier was turning his heart into the fire. He could already do this since long ago, specifically when he refined his body for the first time using that Undying Fire Body.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, he never had the chance to use it. Only when he decided to fake his death, he finally used it to make it look like he was stabbed and would die soon.

At that time, he used his Sun Descent energy that usually became his domain and exploded it by making it unstable. It released very powerful fire energy and created that huge explosion.

It would surely make them know he died because he planned to bring the elder down with him. He then replaced his body with the body double and protected it until the fire energy was subtle enough to not melt the body.

After that, he teleported away. Obviously, the elder couldn't maintain the array that locked the use of Space Element, so he could get away pretty easily.

This was a perfect staged death that he could perform in this world.

Alex then took out a token and headed in a certain direction. Without anyone observing him anymore, he used his Teleportation Array to make the journey faster and headed straight to the promised location.

It was inside another forest that Alex deemed to be safe to meet up. This time, he still had his real face, so anyone who saw him right now would surely see the real him.

When he arrived, he saw two beasts looking very harmonious. The monkey leaned on a tree and slept while the mouse slept on his lap.

It looked very comfortable, so Alex didn't plan to wake them up.

However, they seemed to sense his presence and woke up immediately. Even though they were asleep, they didn't lower their guard because someone might catch them and put them into a slave contract. For Heilo, it might be redeemable, but Leka would surely die because she already had a contract with Alex.

"Master!" Leka leaped toward him while Heilo observed the hole in his clothes. "Are you alright?"

"Leka." Alex smiled before nodding his head to Heilo. "Yes. I am fine. That's just a fake wound."

"Still, I never expected Master's face to look like this." Leka interrupted Heilo again and looked at Alex with great interest.

"Haha…"

"What are we going to do after this, Master?" Eve suddenly came out, showing her appearance for the first time to Heilo and Leka.

The two were surprised and looked at her with great interest. "Who are you?"

"I am the sword." Eve pointed at the sword hanging on Alex's waist. Because he had left that place, he equipped the sword again, so Eve could appear like this again.

"The sword?" The two exchanged looks and nodded even though they couldn't understand her.

Eve decided to explain what she was to these two. In the meantime, Alex asked Lin Xingzhi. "Can you get me another mask?"

[Sure thing. Just hide there for a while. The mask will be ready in a week, so try to get a base or something.]

"I understand. I will search for a hidden place and use my Special Array to hide." Alex nodded.

[Alright. Is there anything you like to know?]

"Not at the time being. This news will surely reach Nella's and her family's ears, so I want you to monitor Njomo and keep me updated."

[Sure, I will do that. Anyway, the plan is a success. Congratulations.]

"This might be the first time you congratulated me when my plan succeeded…Why would it come when I tried to kill myself?"

[That sounds wrong, but either case, I didn't have that intention.]

"I know…Anyway, I need to leave now. We can talk later." Alex sighed and looked at the two, who seemed to have befriended Eve. Although they couldn't touch Eve, they were happy enough just to talk to her.

Alex couldn't contain his smile when watching this scene and decided to wait for a moment until they realized his gaze.

He then said, "Let's go. We need to search for a place to live."

"Yes, Master!"

At the same time, Aria had returned to the sect. She destroyed all evidence about her makeup and made her appearance messy.

Before going to the peak master, she took a while to recall everything she had with Alex.

"Even though it's almost two years…It feels very brief. The training was certainly not the best memory, but that's the best thing I could get." Aria smiled. "If only he told me about this…I could talk to him a bit longer and showed me gratitude to him. Well, he looked like someone who disliked such a thing, so this situation seemed to be unavoidable.

"Anyway, I need to make the peak master believe that Nyx…Alexander has died. He said that the peak master wouldn't avenge him because she had hidden his talent to the sect, including mine. It comes with benefits, but this is the weakness of this approach."

She took a few deep breaths before steeling her resolve. She then flew toward the peak, specifically the administration building in the peak where she could meet the peak master.

Two people were standing before the gate and stopped Aria, but Aria looked at them with a helpless look. She was already crying. "I need to meet with the peak master."

"I am afraid we can't let you unless you have an appointment. After all, the peak master is very busy."

"Just tell her, Aria Cypress has something important. She will understand." Aria gritted her teeth and slammed the ground.

The two hesitated and exchanged looks. After some considerations, one of them decided to inform the peak master.

Surprisingly, the peak master indeed came out of the building. When she found Aria's messy appearance, she started feeling something was wrong. She looked around but didn't find Alex.

Not knowing what happened, she approached her, helped her up, and asked her. "What happened? Where is Nyx?"

"Nyx…Nyx…" Aria sobbed even louder and stuttered. "He's… Died."

"What?!" Ilevis exclaimed in surprise and helped her walk. "Let's go inside my room first."

When they arrived at Ilevis' room, Aria was still crying as if she couldn't let go of Alex.

"What happened? Can you tell me?"

"Nyx… He died under the hand of the Siko Family, specifically Quila from the Elemental Sect. He wanted to buy the Lightning Brit Root for me, but we ended up angering the Siko Family. And it turned out that Nyx was not a Martial Saint. He had reached God Rank Expert since long ago.

"To stop the enemies that had one Rank 10 God, one Rank 7 God, and one Rank 6 God. He unleashed his true power, which seemed to be Rank 8 God, to buy me time to escape. He…He…"

Ilevis was speechless when she heard all this. "You…Everything is true?"

"Y-yes." Aria nodded. "If you didn't believe me, you could even check by asking the killers yourself. And he turned out to be a Pure Fire Element user. He suppressed the Rank 6 God with his power alone but couldn't defeat the Rank 7 God."

"…" Ilevis blinked a few times before regret filled her heart. If what Aria just said was true, then the Unsurpassed Blade Sect…No, the world just lost a peerless genius.

Alex had reached Rank 8 God, and he hadn't yet reached fifty years old. If he was given time at least a hundred years, there was no telling of how high his achievement would be. And he would surely reach Rank 1 God in the future.

Yet, because of her recklessness and greediness, she had thrown away the opportunity to protect him from the whole world. She thought Alex was just a genius among geniuses, but it seemed to be far more than that.

If she knew this, she would have reported it to the sect master and took him as the successor of the Unsurpassed Blade Sect.

Unfortunately, everything couldn't happen anymore. Not only had he died, but there was also no record about Alex in the sect. Other than the elders who knew about him, no one could ask the sect to send their force to take revenge.

Yes, everything ended because she wanted to increase the standing of her peak. She felt her heart broken and her feet went limp.

Dropping to the ground, her hand still reached the table, trying to get back up. Her pale face would surely not get replaced any time soon.

"I still need to report this matter to the sect master no matter what." Ilevis knew that she could just hide this truth from the sect master, but ultimately, she still wanted to fulfill the duty as a peak master. She gradually rose from the floor and walked to the door staggeringly.

Before leaving, she stopped, turned around, and said to Aria. "You…You go back first. I will handle everything after this. I will talk to you again later…But…I want to say this…I am sorry."

Aria only looked down and kept crying, but in her heart, she felt relieved, knowing she had fulfilled the promise to Alex.

At the very least, she already got many things from here, including his recognition, his name, and age.

She became even more eager to reach God Rank and leave this world to chase after him. Maybe, in the future, she could return to this place as a God King and meet with her family again, showing that their daughter actually never disappointed them.

And it might not take too long. After all, Martial Saint could still live for a few thousand years. Even if she had the worst talent, as long as she continued her training according to Alex's menu, she should be able to reach that stage within a few thousand years.

However, she couldn't stop her acting for now, and this would continue for several days until everything ended. She just treated this as a rare holiday from Alex's training.

With that thought in mind, she finally rose and left this place with that sad expression, making the disciples around her have a look of sympathy.
