Gacha Sovereign Chapter 808 - Convincing Elizabeth

Chapter 808 - Convincing Elizabeth

"A wonderful plan." Shakdi nodded with a smile. He knew that there weren't any 10-Star Martial Saint from the four kingdoms, so they would face trouble the moment 10-Star Martial Saint monsters appeared. Hence, he completely agreed with Alex's plan.
"There are a few detailed plans, but I don't think I can cover all of them right now. Hence, I am going to unite the other influences first and bring them here. We can then talk about it."
"Sounds fair."
"At that time, the rulers of the four kingdoms should arrive here, so we can talk about this." Alex glanced at them.
"I think it's easy to convince them." The second prince nodded.
"It's settled then." Alex took a deep breath.
"In that case, are you going back after this?"
"Yeah. We might need to sync our time later when I bring them here." Alex nodded.
"Alright. As much as I want to help you, I don't think I can help." Shakdi sighed. "I need to remain here to ensure the portal does not become bigger."
"Yeah." Alex then turned around and asked them to follow him again because they needed to walk back.
They didn't need any words because they understood Alex's intention. They nodded to him, asking him to guide them outside.
"Then…" Alex glanced at Shakdi and the others before making his way back.
The group followed the same path like previously, maintaining their speed until they came out of the pillar.
As soon as they saw the blue sky again, they then looked at Alex, who waved his hand and said, "Alright then. Convincing them to participate in the next meeting might take me one or two weeks, so you should prepare before I arrive."
"Yes. Thank you for your help," they said in unison.
Alex then flew away.
Meanwhile, their guardians appeared again, looking at them with a worried expression.
However, the group seemed to have the same thought, and the same speech as all of them said at the same time. "I am going back. There is an emergency."
Of course, Alex didn't know this. He simply felt lucky to have such understanding heirs from the four kingdoms because they thought with their brains.
Alex then arrived at the previous spot where he dug the hole.
Before that, he suddenly fell into silence, watching the array.
"What… What if I am making a tunnel underground? It might be a bit long, but I can bring those people safely…" Alex thought for a moment and shook his head. "No. I will suggest it to those leaders to have their disciples make an underground tunnel. In the meantime, I should start negotiating with the other leaders."
After realizing this, he summoned the dragons again before opening the array.
It seemed he had gotten used to this situation after two times doing it, so his speed was faster than before, and the gate was more stable.
As soon as he came out and closed the gate, Alex flew away until he was out of the Space Disturbance and used his Teleportation Array to go back.
Not long after that, he arrived at his base and met Anya. "Anya, how is our condition?"
"Ah?! So fast?" Anya was startled, expecting him to go for another few days. However, she quickly regained her calm and explained. "For now, Firia is with Aileen and Song Hun discussing the matter with the Divine Kingdom. I think they are in the middle of negotiation right now. Of course, she has managed to persuade the Phantasm Sect, but they need time to prepare."
"Hmm…" Alex thought for a moment and smiled. "I will let her handle this then."
…
In the Divine Kingdom, specifically in the middle of their throne room, the three people were meeting the current ruler of the Divine Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth.
"So, you want my cooperation from something that is caused by not my influence?" Elizabeth squinted her eyes, looking at Aileen.
Firia raised her hand and stopped her. "They are not at fault too. Because this is coming from another place."
"Is there any proof?"
"No." Firia shook her head calmly. "I only want to state this one. If we lose, your kingdom will also perish."
Suddenly, the system gave her a notification.
[Firia. Alex is giving you a trump card for the negotiation.]
"!!!" Firia slightly widened her eyes before taking a piece of paper from the Inventory.
Elizabeth immediately furrowed her eyebrows and raised her guard because she didn't know what Firia's plan was.
However, when she saw a paper, she was confused. And as soon as Firia smiled after reading the paper, she seemed to have a strange feeling, knowing there would be something happening soon. Hence, she took out her sword and asked. "Why are you smiling?"
"This is just a message from my husband. He told me to take this one out when the negotiation is not in my favor." Firia lied, using Alex as her shield. Of course, the writing came from Alex.
"Hoh? Your husband." And that was what made Elizabeth more curious.
"Yeah. He simply wants to ask you… Why do you think the Gods and Goddesses disappeared from this world in the past?"
"!!!" The words echoed inside the room, shaking everyone's heart.
Even her grandfather, who was trying to find fault in her governing, couldn't help but choke. "What did you say?"
"The question remains the same." Firia smiled.
Many people began to look down, falling into deep thought. They were high ranking people in this kingdom, so they knew many things, including the legends. And they had once stumbled upon a mysterious disappearance of the Gods and Goddesses.
Firia also connected her knowledge and this question as she immediately thought about what to say.
"Don't you think it's weird to find those Gods and Goddesses suddenly disappeared? What kind of reason would such beings vanish without any apparent reason?" Firia smirked.
"Are you telling me that there is a connection between their disappearance and this incident?" Elizabeth squinted her eyes. "No… Is this also his lie?"
"It's not his lie nor his plot. This is the truth. I am sure that the Royal Family knows something about it, right? And didn't you meet—"
"Stop!" Elizabeth gritted her teeth. Such information shouldn't be revealed to anyone other than the royal family, so she didn't let Firia say it.
Although Firia found it nothing but a mere piece of information, she also had no obligation to say it. She simply wanted to threaten her because she knew Elizabeth would stop her from talking.
On the other hand, Elizabeth also found the question to be the truth. She remembered when only a few Gods and Goddesses appeared when she was in that tower… And was convinced that Firia must have something to do with it.
'They might be souls, but they were former Gods and Goddesses. Did she and Alexander learn something from them because of the special treatment?' Elizabeth stroked her chin with a solemn expression.
"How about this…
My Husband is waiting for you on the battlefield. You can go there first to check the situation and ask him about the answer yourself. I believe he has known something new right now." Firia paused. "And as I said, if we lose, Divine Kingdom will also perish."
The ministers wanted to rebuke her, but they stopped, knowing it was indeed the truth. Seeing the Freedom Sect and Blackwade Clan behind her, half of the power already gathered around them.
Besides, Firia also told her that they had gotten the confirmation from the Phantasm Sect. With them, they had enough power to represent the world.
'Still, we don't know anything about this portal, so how can we suddenly mobilize all our forces without any reason? Besides, the problem is not too big at the moment, making it hard to convince the crowd.' Letizia wiped her eyes a few times, thinking hard about this matter.
"I realize how hard it's to move, but I am sure you will be convinced as long as you meet my Husband."
"Hmm… Meeting the Divine Slayer huh… It's true that his reputation is too big as he killed many people under God Rank. If he is leading this, he might be able to slay all our enemies.'
'Pfft! Divine Slayer…' Jeanne sent a thought transmission to Firia. 'When we were in the Blackwade Clan, they were calling Master Battle Emperor because of his brilliant strategy and the fact that he had yet to lose despite fighting so many influences.
'And when we were in the Phantasm Sect, they thought him as a Harbinger of Death. Because they didn't want to get killed if they didn't comply, the sect leader was pressured to accept. They are too hilarious.'
Firia also found his unique title not long ago since she just got back from their honeymoon. Although it sounded badass, it was too embarrassing for Alex. There was even a period of him getting angry because they teased him with those titles.
Luckily, the news came while they were on honeymoon, so Alex couldn't punish them yet. And the moment he returned, he met this problem.
Firia still had no change of expression as to not change the mood of Elizabeth. Instead, she pressured her more by saying. "We are planning to meet the Seven Influences. I believe we can ask the Ancient Blue Family since you also know how they operate. As for the Drunken Pavilion, I don't think I need to say anything, right?"
What she said was true. After reaching this point, if they didn't agree to come, the only influence that didn't come would only be them. At that time, they might be scrutinized by the whole world.
Hence, Elizabeth decided. "I understand. I will go with you to see the situation."
After persuading Elizabeth, Firia continued to the next place, convincing each influence's leader to make their decision. Davi was a bit hard to convince, but luckily, it ended without them agreeing on anything to him. If they still asked for a trade with a problem like this, they would be seen as hypocrites anyway, and it was something Davi didn't want to see.
However, as one would expect, Manness was the most annoying of all. He looked fed up about this problem and wanted to stay in his sect. Firia used the other influences as well to pressure him to go to the battlefield until he agreed.
And just like that, Firia managed to grab everyone within three days.
Aileen opened the gate to the Freedom Sect before heading toward the battlefield where Alex stayed. He was standing on a cliff where he could see the general situation of the battlefield.
Far in front of him was a huge dark portal that seemed to be connecting to an ominous place. It gave powerful energy to the point they felt repulsed just by watching the energy.
Their instinct told them to not go through that tunnel because it would be the day they die.
Around that portal, they got a sight of more than thirty thousand monsters, going back and forth as they fought against the disciples of Freedom Sect.
"That is the Ancient Ruin." Elizabeth pointed her finger to a white building below the portal.
They recognized the building as well and was surprised to see that the ruin was reduced to piles of rubbles.
It seemed Shakdi decided to risk it all and abandoned the Ancient Ruin, so they could focus on maintaining the tower as to prevent more monsters from coming. They needed to adjust the rate of the monsters so they didn't outnumber humanity by much.
"This is just a small portion of them. From what I know, there will be around a few million if we don't solve this matter as quickly as possible."
"A few million?" The representatives dropped their jaw and blinked a few times as if they heard something ridiculous.
The moment he sensed them, Alex turned around and smiled. "Thank you for coming here. And yeah, what she said is completely right. I am here to discuss what we need to do to close the portal that has been unsealed again after a few thousand years…"
