619 Conversation with the Two Leaders

Alex arrived on the battlefield after confirming Ragna was dead with his Spirit Eyes. He saw that his energy was scattered and became a part of the energy in the air.
"Oh, Are you watching it too from that far away?" Atlas turned around after sensing Alex's presence.
"Yes." Alex nodded while looking at Igor. "Do you think this is the best ending?"
"I'm not sure if it is the best, but it is surely one of the best." Atlas nodded.
"Hmm…" Alex pondered for a moment and stayed silent until Igor moved his body.
Taking out the Space Ring that fell to the ground after Ragna vanished, Igor turned around and looked at Atlas and Alex with a smile. "I have completed the job."
Atlas came closer and said, "Ragna was a good guy."
"Yes." Igor closed his eyes and smiled before tossing the spatial ring to Alex. "This is what I have promised you, the blood."
Alex caught the ring and made a weird expression. If he wanted to give the blood, he could just take out the blood and hand it to him. Instead, he gave the entire spatial ring to him.
This action showed Alex how she Igor wished Alex could trust him. At the same time, he also wanted to test Alex if he was worth the trust he put in. After all, if the greed took him over, Igor would be very disappointed.
Atlas wanted to stop him but decided to watch how the situation unfold. He felt they could trust Alex because he was a different type of person.
Although Alex might look like the people in this continent who killed and plundered someone's belongings, Alex's aura was very different. He looked like a just leader that wouldn't betray his followers. This conclusion derived from how obedient Nelson was to Alex. His action was enough to tell Atlas if Alex was worthy.
However, something unbelievable happened. Their surroundings didn't change. Instead, Alex suddenly shouted out loud after finding another thing in the space ring.
"This… This is Godly Optic Flower!" Alex gasped as he found a white colored flower inside the ring. At first, he wanted to get the blood alone, but the moment he found this item, his target slightly changed.
Igor and Atlas furrowed their eyebrows, doubting his action.
"I want to exchange for this flower. You can ask me anything about this flower… Of course, as long as I'm capable of fulfilling that wish." Alex said to Igor.
"What do you mean?" Igor had a weird expression on his face as he raised his guard up.
"This flower is very important for me to increase my strength." Alex took out a white flower and said. "I can exchange something with you, or you can add another wish as a payment."
"To increase your strength?" Igor furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at the flower. It was a rank 8 medicinal herb to increase one's vision. Although they, animal tribes, never needed it from the beginning, they could give it to Dwarf or Undead."
Upon reaching this point, Igor asked. "Why do you want to use this flower?"
"They are good for my eyes. I can't say how beneficial it is for my eyes, but I can assure you it will be the last ingredient to enhance my eyes." Alex answered honestly.
"Still…" Igor paused for a moment.
"Ah. If you are not sure, I can use it in front of you right away." Alex smiled. "It's not easy to trust someone anyway."
"No, no. It's not like we don't trust you." Igor shook his head and denied Alex's claim quickly before turning the conversation around for him.
"Actually, this medicine is very good for a member of my family."
"A family, huh… It's fine then. I don't need it anymore." Alex shrugged and said. "If it's for your family member, then it's better to give it to them.
Alex's answer that came without hesitation shocked Atlas like he didn't lie. Many people could lie with their poker face, but Alex was very different. He might be able to lie with a poker face, but the feeling was very wrong. All they could see was Alex's sincerity for the three races.
Alex added. "Ah, if you don't want to, then it's fine. I might have another chance with this flower in the future, so no big deal."
He put the warmest smile to show his sincerity.
Atlas and Igor exchanged looks, thinking about the same thing. Alex truly didn't desire it with greed. He might want to get it but from a legitimate way. Although they were stronger than Alex, he wouldn't necessarily be afraid of them, especially if his identity was like how Nelson described. In that case, they didn't have any reason not to give the flower to him.
Igor nodded. "Actually, you can have it."
"Eh? Isn't it important to your family member?" Alex tilted his head in confusion.
"It is really important to my family member, but no one needs it. Rather than sitting inside the spatial ring for another few thousand years, you can take it for yourself." Igor told the truth. Even the earlier words weren't a lie.
Alex took this as a test, thinking they just tested him whether he was one controlled with greed or not. There were many scenarios running through his mind in case his greed took over. Unfortunately, it was like the auction item case. Alex was prepared to not possess it, and his sincerity convinced Igor and Atlas.
"If you don't believe me, I can use it right now to prove that I really want to use it to increase my power." Alex smiled.
"It's fine." Igor shook his head.
"Then, what do you want in exchange for this flower?" Alex asked.
"We don't want anything. As long as you can let us go home, you are already considered as our benefactor. This flower wouldn't be enough to repay you." Igor shook his head. "Besides, your swords give me the courage to face my grandfather after these few thousand years. It might be a little bit forced by the situation, but it is the best ending I could hope for."
Igor's smile showed his true feeling as he put his hand to the back of his head, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the emotion.
"Thank you." Alex nodded.
"Now, now. You still need the blood to complete your weapons, right?" Atlas reminded him.
"Ah, yes." Alex infused his Spiritual Energy inside the ring and took out a small bottle of blood. Even though it was only a few blood droplets, Alex could see the enormous energy contained inside it with his Spirit Eyes.
"With this, I have finished all the materials." Alex was satisfied with the result.
"Hum…" Atlas stared at Alex for a couple of seconds before asking. "May I ask one question?"
"Sure." Alex nodded politely. He used to treat someone stronger as an elder in his early day, but he didn't know why he treated them less and less when he slowly got stronger even though they were still far stronger than him. Of course, Old Meanness was different because he was his teacher, Maxwell, friend.
"What is your opponent in the outside world?" Atlas asked mysteriously.
Alex tilted his head and asked back, "Why do you want to know? I mean, you only want to go back, right?"
He was afraid that these races took back their promise and caused a chaotic situation in the world.
"No, No. It's only a curiosity of mine, so you can choose to not answer it." Atlas shook his head before asking it once more. "I am just curious whether the outside world is still the same as it was in the past."
Alex thought for a moment, wondering if it was alright to tell them about this.
Surprisingly, Atlas took an oath. "In the name of Gaia, I swear not to disclose any information regarding you in any form."
"I promise too." Igor nodded.
Alex frowned his eyes and turned around, looking at Nelson, who didn't have any reaction about this. 'You?'
Instead of answering him, Nelson explained the promise. "Gaia is their God. It can be said the existence of Gaia binds them more than the humans and Heavenly Oath.'
Alex didn't ask for this, but it made him think that it was fine to disclose information to them to a certain level, of course. "I have many enemies."
"Many enemies?" Atlas and Igor were surprised. As a peace-loving race, they didn't really have many enemies unless they considered a few worlds that were aiming at their power as those.
"Yeah. The first and the closest one is the Black Devil Sect. The sect that is holding your Blood Gem right now." Alex explained.
"Blood Gem!" Igor gasped as he looked at Atlas with widened eyes.
"Yes. I asked him to retrieve the Blood Gem for us." Atlas affirmed. "Unfortunately, even with the Blood Gem, the spaceship still couldn't fly at the moment."
"What do you mean?" Igor was never good with this type of thing, so he rather asked.
"After activating the ship with the Blood Gem, we still need to do some adjustment, maintenance, cleaning and so on. Looking at how big the ship is and only Dwarf who could do it. It will take a few years before it can fly to the sky." Atlas let out a long sigh.
"A few years? Not a decade, right?"
"Yeah."
"It is fine, I guess. We have been here for a few thousand years anyway, so a few years aren't a big deal." He shrugged.
"There is another problem with it… Two, in fact, internal and external." Atlas warned.
"What do you mean?"
"The internal problem is how to convince our subjects. I know they are already resigned to their fate to live their whole life in this place. Announcing this information to them might incite their heart a little too much, so…" Atlas stopped.
"There might be a riot, huh…" Igor closed his eyes. "I can see it, especially if we don't give any good excuse for them to stay still for a few years."
Igor could picture it if others used it to incite the mass and created a riot. That wasn't what he wanted to see. They might be the ruler of their respective race, but it didn't mean there wasn't a being that could challenge them. If it suddenly happened at a time like this… Igor shuddered.
"Anyway, I believe we are peace-loving races, and they are just a kind of impatience in going home. That's why we will first spread the rumor about it, and when it's ready, we will announce it officially." Atlas advised.
"I don't really mind." Igor nodded with a solemn expression. "How about Zekhram? He needs many people to do this."
"Yeah. We can only wait for another few years because fewer people know, the better." Atlas nodded.
"Alright. I will cooperate with you."
Atlas nodded and fell into silence. Igor kept staring at him with a weird expression as they were talking about something privately. Not long after, Atlas asked Alex. "Who are your enemies? If I may ask."
Alex didn't know what they were thinking but answered nonetheless. "Other than the Black Devil Sect, I might need to fight against the Fire God Clan. As for Blackwade, I'm not very sure at the moment."
"I see. Such a nostalgic name." Atlas nodded with a severe expression. He had experienced that war, and the brutality of that war still lingered in his mind. He took a deep breath as if he decided something and changed the topic. "In any case, we have gotten everything needed for the weapons. Let's drop off the Igor first and bring Zekhram to the Soul Altar."
Having no reason to reject, Alex nodded his head and created teleportation for them.
