Gacha Sovereign-Chapter 1156: Answer

After watching them go back, Alex turned around and used his Teleportation Array to send him to the Sword God Pavilion.

It took him another day to reach there.

As he expected, the pavilion remained the same as ever. While using his Spatial Gate to transfer him inside, Alex activated the token to tell her that he had returned here.

He didn't even bother with all the visible changes in surroundings and quickly reached the top floor with his Spatial Gate, finding Zera waiting for him right in front of the house.

"You have truly surprised me, Spirit God. Not only have you reached Rank 2 God this fast, but you also want to come back to this place. For what reason do you return to this place?" She narrowed her eyes, observing Alex's expression.

Alex shook his head and explained. "I have come to gain a bit more insight from you. Also, I wish to use this place to fuse my Sword Qi and Spear Qi. Will that be alright with you?"

Zera contemplated for a moment. Before agreeing to his request, Zera asked, "Has the war started?"

"The big war is coming soon. I'm afraid I have less than a decade to become a strong God King."

"Do you need my help?"

"In a fight? No. The battle will become too horrible sooner or later and I still need to fulfill the promise I have with you and the Sword God. Besides, with more than twenty God Kings involved in this war, do you believe you have the strength to change the course of this war? I don't mean to look down on you, but this is the fact."

Zera closed her eyes and sighed. "Well, I have no words to say. Even the strongest people on this planet were only a mere Rank 3 God. I understand. I shall believe in you, Spirit God. Doing my best to assist you in this training is also considered a contribution."

Alex remained silent, but a smile appeared on his face.

"I have a question for you to be honest."

"What is it?"

"What do you think about my sword intent?"

"Your Sword Intent has a different quality than the norm. For example, I can say that it's the sharpest, but it's not at the same time. Why? Due to your Spear Intent in the mix, your Sword Intent can be seen as the sharpest. Yet, when it also means that it's not a true Sword Intent, so I can't say your Sword Intent is the sharpest."

"The combination is the sharpest." Alex nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. The same applies to your Spear Intent. Normally, spears are used for one main purpose. Stab your opponent. However, everything changes because of your Sword Intent, it has the power of slashing your enemy. The explanation is similar to the one earlier, but what I want to take note of is your extraordinary perception that can fuse them.

"Like Ice and Fire, these two normally can't be fused. No, even cultivating both of them at the same time alone is already torturous enough to the point it can potentially ruin one's future. Yet, the Spirit God managed to do it in the past… Why?

"Even I don't know the answer. I once asked my master, the Sword God, and he told me one thing. Humans are like a bowl. Insert the Sword Intent in the form of liquid and you are full. If you pour the liquid, it means you are abandoning your Sword.

"However, the Spirit God was different. Instead of pouring it half to fill it again with the spear, the Spirit God turned himself into a vessel that could absorb everything. Six Elements and Two Intents, he was a monster capable of absorbing them at the same time, giving him immeasurable power that could rival those who mastered one thing to its peak.

"Everything was the result of his weakness. He turned his weakness to the strongest strength he could ever hope for. That Elementless body of his had grown into a bottomless pit that could swallow everything. In other words, that body was not a vessel anymore but was like that of a black hole."

"…" Alex narrowed his eyes and looked down, falling into deep thought. "I see. Unfortunately, my body is not Elementless anymore."

"Well, the Spirit God has that elementless body to hold all that power. But in my perspective, your power is far stronger than the Spirit God from the very foundation. I don't know why you can wield a Pure Fire and a Space Element alongside your two Intents. Your two elements alone are powerful enough to rival Spirit God's six or seven elements."

"What do you think the reason is?" Alex asked with a hesitant tone. Even though he knew Zera didn't have the answer, he just felt the need to ask.

"Well, that's the answer you need to seek. Why can your body host two Elements, two Intents, and so on? What do you think the reason is?"

Alex closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands. It wasn't easy to get this answer.

Since he started searching for the answer to fuse both his weapon qi, Zera smiled and turned around, leaving him alone.

Alex, on the contrary, began to recount his journey from the beginning, wondering if this was actually the Spirit God's power or the power he acquired in his journey.

When he first knew he had the ability to become stronger, the first thing he found was his system. There was nothing wrong with the system other than its mysterious items, such as the Elemental Orbs or Mastery Cards.

But what rubbed him the wrong way was the next big thing that happened to him. After receiving the acknowledgment of his Pure Fire, his body evolved, allowing him to host two elements. In addition, both elements were very powerful on their own.

This type of power had an ego, like when the Pure Fire showed its dominance over other types of fire. Yet, he never experienced such a clash in his body.

At first, he thought the answer was due to his Space Element started weak, so it just gave in to the Pure Fire, but it would still appear sooner or later. That was why Alex couldn't comprehend why he never experienced such a problem.

"Wait a minute… Black Hole?" Alex was stupefied as he seemed to find something absurd in his story. Although it was just a technique, he had no knowledge about the Black Hole being a Divine Technique. At least, there was no memory about it in his head despite having so much knowledge in the inheritance.

The strings began to connect with each other, turning this type of mystery to another level. "Don't tell me… Don't tell me… Ahahahaha…"

Alex facepalmed as he started feeling headache, wondering why he couldn't notice this earlier. He realized why there were Dungeon God, Fire God, Time God, and Spirit God who stretched their hands on his current self.

Everything was an arrangement. Yeah, it was an arrangement from the Spirit God. To help him connect everything and turn his body into something that could withstand all this power, the Spirit God requested the Dungeon God's system before he died and somehow sent it to Lin Xingzhi, knowing she would use it to power up his reincarnation.

The Dungeon God had instilled the Black Hole and Subjective Reality in the system automatically to shape his body to contain all the power that would come in the near future. After receiving the system, his body began to adjust itself until it became perfect when he gained the Space Element from the system.

That was why Lin Xingzhi said his body seemed to have mutated because of the Space Element inside the system in the past. Everything started to connect. All the stories in his life were all for this.

Knowing that the Unique Space Element and Alex's Sword and Spear Skill were not enough to kill the Supreme Beast, the Spirit God asked the Fire God to bestow his Godly Pure Fire since his reincarnation would have the Pure Fire.

The Spirit God then tweaked a bit of the Upper World where Alex would grow up, so he ended up going to Stina's World where he met Phitrus's soul, learning everything from him.

The Time God maintained everything to make sure what he had set up for his reincarnation wouldn't mess everything up while giving two precious rooms that had the Power of Time.

Although there was no guarantee that he would reach everything, there was still Lin Xingzhi, who would do her best to give him everything he needed. As long as he provided a bit of information, Lin Xingzhi would surely inform him and have him go for it.

"Oh, Spirit God, my past self. You were this awesome, and you're expecting me to beat you?" Alex facepalmed and shook his head. Although Sherry, Alicia, Firia, or even Kyle were not part of his plan, it ended up turning nicely. Yes, he achieved all this and how he could fuse his Sword Qi and Spear Qi was his Space Element. This was the answer.

When he found the answer, Alex couldn't help but laugh. Yes, all he did was laugh. His face contained the trace of longing and hope, conveying his hidden desire.

Tears of joy couldn't help but come out after laughing so hard. He dropped to the ground and looked at the tower ceiling, which had become a sky due to the array.

"Seriously, Alex, my past self… There are so many things I want to talk about with you, but one thing that I really want to say right now…. I wish I lived in the same era as you, even though you're my past self. I'm sure we will be a good buddy."
