Gacha Sovereign

"They are snakes, dragons, phoenixes, bears, bats, and angels."

"Wait a minute…" Alex narrowed his eyes, feeling something was wrong. "I feel like these are…"

"It seems that you have some kind of information about the beast?"

"Not really. It was just the last time I met my previous self, I learned the beast's true body. "The beast had a snake head, dragon body, phoenix talon, bear paws, a pair of bat wings and angel wings."

"I see." Alaya furrowed her eyebrows and nodded in understanding.

"Before you continue, I want to show you something. I know that this might not be related, but I just want to ask your opinion."

"What is it?" Alaya tilted her head.

Al and El became her eyes again.

At the same time, Alex was contacting Silvia through the system to send some samples in the Time Box.

After getting the sample, he took out the Time Box.

"Oh?! It's the Time Box." Alaya was amazed by the appearance of Time Box. She never thought that she would see it again.

Alex nodded and summoned two bat like monsters from the box while asking. "So, what do you think about this?"

"This is…" Alaya widened her eyes as she drew a gasp. "This is one of the weapons, the Bat."

"!!!" Both Alex and Lin Xingzhi, who were watching behind the screen, were shocked. They never expected that the mysterious bat turned out to be one of the most powerful weapons."

"How sure are you?" Alex asked politely.

Knowing his doubt, Alaya began to explain. "The bat will consume every living being and turn them into their kin. However, this so-called kin is not their children or anything. Instead, they are treated as a food source.

"After sending a few of them in a world, the bats will reproduce at a rate that no one has ever seen before. And when the harvest time is over, they will go back to their mother. You can say that they are planning to create God Rank Bats into this. Do you know which one had the biggest population in the past? It was this guy." Alaya sighed.

Alex sweatdropped when he listened to her. Some of the points had been proven, making her explanation more believable.

"Back then, we fought against six to seven million even though we only have a total of two million God Rank Experts. Seventy percent of their numbers are filled with bats."

"What?" Alex's face turned serious.

"I don't know much about their strengthening, but if I am not wrong, they can become a God Rank Expert in fifty years. It seems that they are starting to reproduce again." Alaya closed her eyes, feeling troubled.

"This…" Alex thought for a moment. "Xingzhi."

"I will add more personnel for our investigation team. I will inform the Blackwade Clan and Silvia too. If we can erase them, we should have an easier time in the future."

"Yes." Alex nodded before noticing something. He turned back to Alaya. "How many God Kings for each monster?"

"One for the dragon, phoenix, angel, and snake. Two for the bears, and the rest were bats."

"Fu." Alex took a deep breath. "If we can eliminate them first, we will be able to lower their strength by about fifty percent."

"Indeed." Alaya nodded. "I am assuming there are some Rank 2 or Rank 3 God, but I don't think they have become a God King yet. The beast's revival is near too."

"Do you think we can seal the beast again? If we can, I don't think I need to rush." Alex narrowed his eyes.

"No." Alaya shook her head. "I don't know about the seal, but I know that yours should use something big."

"Well, the previous me almost died back then and used the last bit of power to do it."

"See? The requirement of the seal must be your life. If I am not wrong, there is a Space and Time Seal that uses one's life."

Alex looked down, falling into deep thought.

"What do you plan to do then?" Alex asked.

"Before that, let me explain the other monsters first. The Dragon and Phoenix are basically the same as the ones you can find all around the universe. The snake is annoying because they usually pair up with the bears to create a fusion monster with no blindspot. As for the angels…They can heal people, so our main target should be them. As for the bats, yes, they fill up the numbers."

Alex thought for a moment and nodded. "We can prepare our strategy according to their characteristics. But how it will turn out…I don't have any assurances."

"What about our situation?"

"I have no assurance." Alex shook his head in disappointment.

"Fair enough. You can take your time, but make sure you follow the time limit. The reason we suffered in the past was due to our underestimating the beasts."

"I understand." Alex thought for a moment. He didn't know whether the Palm God would help him or not, but he should be able to have Lin Xingzhi as their God King. If he used all the Spirit Crystals in his possession, he could create two more God Kings. They were probably Anna and Leoz.

After that, there was the Blackwade Clan. With their current situation, it seemed that Alex was required to make an alliance with other Divine Worlds. After all, Eulja would become weaker if he brought them to strike the other monsters before the war started.

"In that case, let's talk about how I ended up here. First of all, I used my Death Spirit to fake my own death, allowing me to reach this place. As for them, they were my eyes, would the world consider them as existences in this world?" Alaya shrugged.

After a while, Alaya continued. "As for what I want to do with you, it's obviously the contract with me."

"With you?" Alex tilted his head.

"Yes. It seemed that Julian actually told you about the contract with my spirits. However, the real contract is with me." She shook her head. "I am not a human, you see. Anyway, no need to know about my race, I only ask you to form a contract with me."

"What kind of contract are you talking about?" Alex asked in confusion.

"Life and Death Contract."

"!!!" Alex widened his eyes. "You…"

"I know what you are thinking. Although I am like this right now, I can recover my God King strength in a decade. By making a contract with me, I can channel my power into your body, creating a third eye. This third eye will have the power of Life and Death. Of course, you would need my permission to use it, but you can say I become your supporter."

"Can I know the pros and cons first? I don't want to make a Life and Death Contract without fully knowing what I have gotten into."

"Sure. Let me tell you about the terms first. We have four terms in this contract. First, if either of us dies, the other will die as well. This means I won't betray you and vice versa. Second, I will grant you my Life and Death power in exchange for your protection. Third, I will follow your command as long as it is within my means and you can't force me to do it. Last but not least, this contract is an equal contract. There is no master or servant."

Alex furrowed his eyebrows. The terms were quite dangerous, especially the first one. However, if she could regain her strength within a decade, she would become a powerful friend to have. There wouldn't be any betrayal as well, so he thought this was a good point.

The third point gave him an advantage because he could order her to do something. This would prove to be useful for Eulja. And since he planned to be the strongest in this universe in the future, he could afford to protect her just fine.

"There are a few benefits you can get from gaining my power. First, you will have a third eye that you can hide at any time. The Life Power will strengthen your cultivation while the Death Power will boost your Soul Power.

"And since we will be a partner if you take the contract, you should know the reason for the second term. I just want to retire you know. Having the Spirit God to protect me in my retirement sounds like the best retirement ever. It's not like I am planning anything big, but this type of assurance is something that I need." She smirked.

Alex thought for a moment. "I want to add something for the third term. I know that I can't force you to do it, but you should agree if we need to discuss it and reach the best conclusion."

"I don't mind." She nodded with a serious expression.

"Have you contracted someone else?" Alex asked.

"Nope. I seldom met people, so yeah, I was alone most of the time. I didn't have my own hometown, so I wandered around aimlessly while enjoying my life. In other words, you are my first and probably last."

[That sounds wrong, but whatever.]

Alex twitched his eyebrows when listening to Lin Xingzhi's response. He shook his head helplessly before saying, "Alright. I can agree with your terms. Besides, your existence might be able to help me convincing other God Kings to participate in this battle."

"Fair enough. There is little to no information spread because of the oath back then, so convincing the people of this era will be hard." She nodded with a serious expression.

"Exactly." Alex nodded.

"Alright. We have a deal then?"

"Yes."

"In that case, let's proceed with the ceremony."

"What ceremony? We just need to take an oath, right?" Alex tilted his head.

"Yes. Just follow your instinct because you will know what you need to say after saying my piece." She smiled.

"I understand. Please start."

"Let's sit down on the floor first." She stretched her hand before turning to Mithra and Lan. "Can you two please stand back? We need to clear up some space."

The two, who had been silent until now, nodded their heads and retreated a few meters from them. They never expected that Alex was this type of bigshot and had a very dangerous mission. Despite that, he was still so kind to other people.

There was never a regret in their heart to find Alex, but when they heard this, they were entirely in awe, wanting to be someone like him.

They watched how the process progressed without letting out a single sound.

At the same time, Alaya stood before him because of their difference in height. She closed her eyes and started chanting.

"I, Alaya Na Varavas, accept my lifelong friend, Alexander Sirius. I will help him in any way possible and act according to the contract we have agreed upon. I will accompany him until I die or he dies because this life has turned into our lives. Almighty Hades and Grand Gaia, please heed my prayer, for I, the Manifestation of the Great Codex of Samsara, Alaya Na Varavas, plead with my life."

Information began entering Alex's head before he opened his mouth. "I, Alexander Sirius, will become Alaya Na Varavas's lifelong friend and won't ever leave or abandon her. Almighty Hades and Grand Gaia, I, Alexander Sirius, shall etch my name in the Great Codex."

Alex stretched his hand toward her before she cut a bit of his index finger and used the blood to dye her lips.

She walked closer to Alex, gently grabbed his head, and kissed Alex's forehead for five seconds before releasing him. "That is the power of Life and Death, your Third Eye…"

Alex felt the power inside the eye, slowly opening his third eye. The third eye had the pattern of yin and yang and released a powerful aura from it, one would make people warm and feel assured, but at the same time, gave a chill colder than Pure Ice. They met Life and Death at the same time.

"…Samsara Eye." She smiled and looked at Alex's face, satisfied.
