Gacha Sovereign Chapter 879 - Temporary Return

Chapter 879 - Temporary Return

One year later, the volcano suddenly erupted, spurting all the magma and other materials outside and releasing a tall smoke.
However, everything did not look as terrifying as an eruption would be. The lava flowing on the mountain body was no longer hot despite being out just for a few seconds.
Not long after, the mountain started shaking before the mouth began to crumble, burying everything underneath.
This might happen when a big eruption took place, but this eruption was strange as if it was man-made. Fortunately, there was not a single person on this planet witnessing this strange phenomenon.
Light flashed from the volcano before a huge explosion occurred, destroying the body along. A red fire rose from the bottom of the volcano and turned into a fox with two tails.
The fox was translucent, but one could still see its eyes were slightly redder than the rest. The fox roared to the sky, summoning a tall fire pillar.
There was a shadow inside that pillar and slowly ascended as if a UFO picked it up, but the pillar disappeared as soon as the shadow reached the fox's eyes.
The golden-haired man slowly opened his eyes, witnessing a shocking scene.
"This… What happened to this planet?" He asked in shock while looking at the greenish orange ground that couldn't flash anymore. This place was supposed to be surrounded by flame, but he couldn't see any of it.
All the memories that happened for the past few months came back to him as he realized what happened.
"Seriously? I absorbed all the Fire Energy on this planet to create the Avatar?" Alex murmured and snapped his finger, creating a Teleportation Array that would send him to anywhere in this world.
But as he expected, the previous flame that could jump from one to another was nowhere to be seen, leaving only the orange surface that was burned by the sun.
"The Avatar needs a huge amount of Fire Energy. It can be said that the Fire God wanted me to train in this place because he knew I would exhaust this planet's energy. And considering the place and distance to the sun, this planet was not meant for the living, so he didn't think much about it.
What was in his mind was Sherry. She also had the same Godly Pure Fire, but she wouldn't be able to learn Fire Authority without this planet.
[I can help you find a planet like this. In fact, there are many planets like this as only Pure Fire can use this type of planet for their cultivation.]
"Is that so? Then I don't need to worry."
[Sure. I will check the age, the energy, and other things there to get a very similar one, considering the technique might require it.]
"Yes, thank you." Alex nodded.
He then turned around and looked at the fox.
As instructed, he didn't create an image of a guy handling two weapons because the Fire God said it wasn't really practical in battle. Instead, he created an image that was capable of governing the Fire Element. And it was none other than Sherry.
Sherry had been the strongest beast that could control fire like him, so it didn't take him too long to create an image of her, albeit with another tail.
He didn't know why but felt something was missing when he created a wolf with a single tail. It might be due to him using two weapons, so he got fixated with the number of two. Nonetheless, it wouldn't bring much effect to the skill.
"Well, I wanted to create a nine tails fox, but I couldn't create a vivid image. I didn't know their elements, living style, and so on. At the very least, all the images I have about Sherry allow me to create something like this." Alex smiled.
"If I need to name this Avatar… It should be Celestial Fire Fox…"
[As usual, your naming skill sucks. Sherry is a Celestial Fox, and you only named the avatar with the addition of Fire in the middle of her race.]
"… You want to name it?"
[It's your technique. Why should I think of a name… Unless it's the name of our kid, I won't say anything. After all, I can't let you name him like your alias, Redna Xela.]
"…" Alex let out a long sigh and said, "Never mind. The name is not bad. As for my name, you can call me Nyx. It's better than Redna Xela."
[Fine.]
Alex closed the notification and took another look at his surroundings. "Such a shame, this planet won't be able to recover its energy again. To think I have exhausted the entire planet's energy…"
He shook his head and sighed. "Still, the energy didn't go to my cultivation in the early process, but when I completed the Summoning stage, all the absorbed fire energy improved my energy… Probably the excess of it. This was the reason why I needed a year to complete the first stage. Such a benefit."
Alex was also surprised by the effect of the avatar. He raised his hand, and the fox opened its mouth, shooting a fireball to the horizon.
The moment it hit a mountain, it exploded, engulfing the entire mountain.
"Oh, wow! One shoot." Alex raised his eyebrows. "I can control the avatar like moving my own body, so this one is powerful. With the addition of Swallowing Heaven, I suddenly can summon so many beasts…
"Either way, I also need another planet like this to fuse this giant avatar." Alex sighed, looking at this thirty-meters tall fox. "What a big fox you are… Surely will become a target. I should go to the Encore first to see what I need to do and achieve this Fusion Stage."
Alex nodded and teleported himself to outer space, finding the red planet turned to orange. He then looked around, calculating the direction and the distance between him and the encore.
[I believe you should go back here first. I will give you some information regarding the black hole. This way, you can reach that place much faster.]
Alex contemplated and agreed to her. "I think that is the best."
He immediately turned around and went toward Eulja.
As soon as he arrived, Lin Xingzhi and the others had been waiting for him.
"I am back." Alex nodded and glanced at Firia, "I am still wondering if you can use this Fire Authority as well…"
"Sacrificial Element is not the same as Pure Element. It might come from that, but it's different." Firia shook her head.
"Is that so…" Alex was disappointed. "Anyway, let's go back first."
They nodded and returned to the castle, heading toward the usual dining room where they discussed everything.
"Before I start, I want to inform all of you a few things." Lin Xingzhi's expression turned serious.
"As much as I want to let you stay here, you have been on this planet for a year without doing anything. Hence, I am planning to give you each a mission. The Spirits will accompany you, of course." She glanced at Alex and asked, "What do you think?"
Although it was good to have nice peaceful days to cultivate here, they indeed needed to move their body a little bit, polishing their fighting skills. After all, they were not like Anna and the others who had thousands of years of experience.
"I agree." Sherry, Firia, and Alicia nodded in agreement. Alex would probably be busy for a long time since he will receive something big from the Encore. Not only that, but he also needed to consider the fact that he spent a year just to master the first stage of his Fire Authority.
And after that, Alex still promised quality time with Lin Xingzhi in another world, so they realized it would be better to work and increase their cultivation because Alex might surpass them soon.
Seeing the girls decide to do it, he sighed and gave the sign of approval.
"By the way, do we complete a mission together or…"
"All of you are going alone. You shall lead a group to a certain planet and finish the mission. This way, I can train your judgment ability and leadership."
"Sure. We are ready."
"As a reward for this quest, Sherry will get two worlds that have abundant Fire Element to learn Fire Authority. You can ask Alex how to practice it as well after this. For Alicia, I have prepared a special accessory that could boost your Ice Element. On the other hand, I haven't prepared anything for Firia, so you can ask me something."
"We don't really need a reward though, but since you are giving us this opportunity, I only want one thing, a new furnace I guess." Firia took out her Alchemy Furnace and sighed. It was slightly broken due to how much she used it.
"The place that you will be going is surrounded by Alchemy. I want you to win the competition there, so I am sure you will find a good furnace. For now, I will provide a good Alchemy Furnace for you to win the competition, medicinal herbs and some money. The rest will depend on your skill."
"If that were the case, it would be more fantastic." Firia smiled, feeling pretty pumped up.
"I want you to establish and get a name for yourself."
"I understand." Firia nodded.
"As for Alicia, you need to go to a similar competition and establish your identity as an Array Master. Don't use your Ice for the time being."
"Alright. I will do my best."
"Last but not least, Sherry. I want you to conquer a world full of monsters with one thousand spirits under your command. Because of the number, you only have a month to finish this task. I want to see the degree of your leadership because I am sure Alex would be able to clear this planet without using their own strength."
Sherry widened her eyes and sighed. This was not her good point, but it seemed Lin Xingzhi was adamant to train her ability, so she agreed. "I will try my best."
"Good. In this case, I shall continue the matter about outer space. As you might already know, there are two types of holes, Black Hole and White Hole. This is closely related to Space Element and the corresponding Array. Anyway, this is not my place to explain this because Zark will know more about this. And without further ado, Zark, can you help me?" Lin Xingzhi glanced at Zark, who had been waiting this whole time.
"Yes," Zark said calmly while walking to the front. Anna and Anya were not here from the beginning, so they didn't really need to repeat the learning process. However, this type of thing piqued All people's interest.
"Please." Alex stretched his hand, asking Zark to start.
Zark nodded and raised his hand, creating two images. One was full of black, while the other one was the exact opposite. He then started explaining.
"There are…"
