Gacha Sovereign Chapter 988 - Prelude

Chapter 988 - Prelude

Inside a room in an unknown place, Evelyn gradually opened her eyes.
"Ngh…" She let out a weak groan and found an unfamiliar white ceiling that she knew nothing about. Due to this, she looked left and right, finding that the room was nothing extraordinary. It was just a one-person room without any decoration.
"Where is this?" She muttered in a low voice and noticed that her space ring was taken away. She immediately opened the Inventory and took out a random sword without permission. This was necessary to make sure she had something to protect herself.
Evelyn narrowed her eyes and finally called someone. 'Sister Xingzhi…Where am I?'
[This is Anna. I am operating the system right now because sister Xingzhi was in the war meeting. She didn't get any record of your conversation with the one who kidnapped you, so she is preparing for war. Are you alright there? I am going to call her right now.]
'Yes. I am fine. Other than my Space Ring, I don't think I lose anything.' She looked around and observed the bedsheet, confirming that her chastity was still safe.
[Alright. Wait for me. I am going to call her soon. You can check your surroundings to make sure of your position and current predicament.]
'I understand.'
After that, Evelyn rose from the bed and concealed her presence. She looked around the room and found nothing extraordinary. Unfortunately, the room had no window, so she couldn't see the outside, which should give her information.
Without having anything to do, she began circulating her Divine Energy to see whether there was something wrong or not.
One minute passed, and the notification appeared again.
[Evelyn. This is Lin Xingzhi. Are you alright, Dear?]
'I am alright, Sister. I don't think I have any injury or whatsoever. What exactly happened?'
[That's my question. You have a conversation with the man, right? Can you tell me what it was all about?]
Evelyn recalled everything first before telling her.
A few hours ago, she had just finished her circulating the Divine Energy around her body before an immeasurable force locked her, slowly expelling her from the world.
"I see. This is the expelling force that Big Brother Alex mentioned. Well, it's time for me to go anyway, and I also have said my goodbye to my family, so I have prepared to go to chase him." Evelyn muttered and enjoyed the feeling. Although she couldn't see Rose, who finally became alone in this world, the latter must be able to see her.
"At the very least, Sister Xingzhi is also taking care of her, so I don't need to worry. It's not like there is someone who dares to fight her with her current strength, so yeah, it's fine." She repeatedly nodded before recalling Lin Xingzhi's instruction. "Hmm, Sister Xingzhi told me there would be someone waiting for me outside this world. He will bring me to Eulja. After a while, I can meet Big Brother again, hehe."
With that thought in mind, she finally felt a weird force surrounding her body. Even though she didn't use her Divine Energy, she was floating and even rotated slightly.
It was magical, but Evelyn immediately stabilized her posture since she would meet with Alex's trusted person. She needed to appear dignified, no?
As soon as she saw her surroundings, she was stunned by the sight of darkness with many jewels that shone brightly, albeit it was not enough to brighten it up. When she turned around, she found her own world.
Suddenly, an aged voice resounded in her ears.
"You are Evelyn, right?"
Evelyn turned around and took out her sword instinctively. Even though she knew Alex's subordinate would come to her, she needed to be careful. "Yes. Are…Are you the one Sister Lin Xingzhi sent?"
When she found a gentle middle-aged man, she asked innocently.
The middle-aged man smiled for a few seconds before nodding his head. "Yes, I am. I have been waiting for you."
After hearing that, Evelyn finally dropped her guard and stored her sword again. "I am Evelyn."
"Nice to meet you." The middle-aged man smiled. "Congratulations for achieving God Rank."
"Thank you." Evelyn smiled back. "Are we going to Eulja now?"
"Of course." The middle-aged man nodded and released his energy. "We are going to Eulja now. Are you ready?"
"Yes," Evelyn answered with a determinate look.
The middle-aged man then covered his, and her bodies with Divine Energy and the two finally flew forward.
Evelyn followed her with trust before she felt something weird.
'Why would Sister Lin Xingzhi send someone like this to me? I mean, Big Brother Alex himself has a Space Element. Considering the Space Element is actually not that scarce in another world, won't it be more effective to send someone with that power?
'Besides, Sister Lin Xingzhi would teach me everything about Outer Space and other things that I needed to know about this Universe. Shouldn't we keep the time minimal? Or is this a test?
'Wait a minute. Sister never gave me a mission or a test without saying anything. It might change after becoming a God Rank Expert, but it shouldn't be this drastic without any explanation. If I know how far we are from Eulja, I can see whether this is a test or not.
'What should I do? Should I sneak up and attack the man to get information about this? Although he is stronger than me, I should have enough strength to escape even in the worst situation. Should I do it? I guess the answer is obvious. If he is someone that sister Lin Xingzhi sent, it will be fine after some explanations. It's not like I am trying to kill him.'
Having a new objective, Evelyn sneakily took out her sword, ready to have this middle-aged man as a hostage to answer her question.
However, she severely underestimated the man in front of her. With just a little fluctuation of energy, he suddenly disappeared.
"!!!" Evelyn's heart skipped a beat and turned around, but she felt a sharp pain on her neck that seemed to be imbued by something powerful. It struck her nerve system, and she fell unconscious.
The Palm God furrowed his eyebrows and looked around before carrying Evelyn away.
'That's the story.' Evelyn finished her explanation.
[I see. It's been five hours since you fell unconscious. I will have Eulja search for your location. You can try using a Teleportation Array or channel your Spiritual Energy. I will ask someone to make a token and send it through the Inventory to see your location.]
'I understand.' Evelyn calmed down and nodded. 'Is there anything I need to know about this?'
[Yes. First of all, the one who kidnapped you was a God King, known as Palm God. He is too obsessive with Alex, so I believe his motive was something like this. His daughter is with Alex right now, but I think she is only a bait. Anyway, I will be reaching you soon.]
'Alright.' Evelyn nodded, and without wasting even a second, she immediately took out a Teleportation Array, but to no avail. The Array Plate wouldn't get activated, so there must be something stopping it. After that, she placed her hand on the wall and injected her Divine Energy since she sensed that the normal way couldn't get out of the room.
Unfortunately, none of her attempts were successful. It meant she was trapped here.
Not long after, Lin Xingzhi sent Zark's token that could track someone like Alex's token. However, Zark was a Rank 3 God, so his power was far more powerful. In fact, he had helped the achieve to record the world and its direction to make the compass, so the token should be powerful enough to locate Evelyn.
Evelyn immediately grabbed the token.
'I have it with me now. Can you find anything?'
[Yes. We are on our way. Hang on.]
Evelyn nodded before she sensed a presence coming to the door. She remembered that her Space Ring was confiscated by them, so she instantly dropped the idea of bringing the token with her since it would be suspicious.
Instead, she hid the token under the bed and stored the sword inside the Inventory. And when the door was opened, she immediately waved her hand, trying to strike whoever came since they must be the enemy.
The one who came was none other than the Palm God. He easily grabbed Evelyn's hand and released his Divine Energy.
"What do you think you are doing?"
"I just want to kill my enemy!" Evelyn released her killing intent.
"Do you think a mere Rank 10 God like you can do anything to me?" The Palm God snorted and dragged her. "Follow me!"
Evelyn felt the force behind the hand and couldn't resist. Despite trying to free her hand, the Palm God wouldn't budge at all.
Meanwhile, Lin Xingzhi rose from her seat. The Six Elemental Gods and the Five Guardians were right behind her, reading the conversation.
The old man from earlier smiled. "This has gotten interesting. What are we going to do now? Although I am a bit reluctant since my son-in-law is not on the battlefield, and I also need to rescue someone that has yet to be his wife, I am ready."
"Who was rumbling about having no grandchildren yet? If there are more wives, won't you…" Lin Xingzhi glanced before turning serious. "Instead of aiming for Alex, I think you lot have a better chance for our kids. Of course, I am not handing them easily. Unless they love each other, I won't…No, I think you need to make an explanation to Alex."
She chose to tell them this to control their desires and raise their morale. After all, half of these people actually still wanted to marry their daughter to Alex. So, giving them a bit of a hint at this moment should keep them together until Alex came back as a ruler once again.
She then turned to Zark and asked. "Anyway, Zark, where is she?"
Zark looked at the 3D map he left earlier and pointed at nothing. "She is here."
"Empty space?" Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes before realizing. "No, a spaceship, huh."
"Yes." Zark nodded, confirming her guess.
"We can't really fight without a plan…So, here is my order. For now, only me, Zark, the Six Elemental Gods, and the five Guardians will go. I believe this should be enough to handle a single spaceship. Anna will take care of Alex in the meantime, while Anya takes care of our battle plan if this leads to war.
"Korzan is to stand by and be ready to lead our force at a moment's notice. Evelyn should be able to take a Teleportation Array Plate with an opening now that she is not inside a room that is isolated inside. We are going to create an opening if he takes her as hostage.
"As long as she is not dead, we can have Light Spirit God to heal her. Other than that, we will proceed with caution." Lin Xingzhi commanded.
"We hear and obey." The eleven Spirits bowed to Lin Xingzhi.
Anna then took a seat again while Korzan disappeared with Anya. Zark then created a Teleportation Array and engulfed everyone in the room except for Anna.
