Chapter 1165: Last Plan (1/2)
”We're retreating.” The Supreme Beast needed to take this action. Although he hated to say it, his current strength wouldn't be enough to stop the Spirit God's Nine Purities Slash. There was a possibility that the Spirit God couldn't use it more than once because it took so much Divine Energy, but he also didn't want to risk it.
There was always next time as long as you didn't die. And he had no preparation like the Spirit God when he died. Hence, retreating was the most logical action to take in this situation.
As if they knew about his order, the monsters began escaping from the battlefield in systematic order like this had been planned before.
Even Alex, who saw the whole thing, couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. He halted his steps and watched how they left one by one until all the God Kings decided to regroup with him.
”What should we do, Alex?” Lin Xingzhi asked. There was a trace of bloodlust in her eyes, telling him that she wanted to kill them, but she was unsure whether to do it or not.
Anna, Jeanne, and Leoz had the same intention, asking for Alex's order.
Before making his decision, Alex turned to Alaya and asked, ”How is your condition?”
”With the energy I've stolen, I believe I can reach my top condition in one year instead of four years.” Alaya nodded. ”I'm sorry that I've been useless this entire war.”
”No need to think about it.” Alex waved his hand and contemplated.
Suddenly, the two God Kings that became their reinforcement came toward them, clasping their hands. ”Spirit God.”
”Thank you for coming here. I never thought that two more God Kings would be joining us in this battle.” Alex nodded while checking their bodies to see whether they had a parasite inside them or not since he didn't want a traitor mixed in their ranks.
”No, no. Although I admit that I hate you because of your actions, when I realize you're doing something to save the universe, I know that I need to protect my home. And because of Navin, who risked his life to convince me… Yeah, I came here.”
”I'm the same.”
Alex looked at these two, who turned out to be the God of Shadow and Water God. ”Even so, I need to thank you for coming here. As you can see, those beasts have been planning to destroy this universe since five thousand years ago. I believe this is the best time to eliminate them.”
”Hahahahahaha!” The Palm God laughed and bragged. ”How is it? My Navin can help you, right? Muahahaha.”
”Annoying.” The God of Destruction shook his head. ”How about you step down from your title, Palm God? Your newest disciple is even more useful than you.”
”What did you say?” The Palm God got triggered and glared at Raiju.
”Alright, you two, stop! This old man can't afford to hear more loud noises after that battle.” The Holy God sighed and went between the two.
Song Goddess, on the other hand, asked Alex. ”So, what are we going to do now? Should we pursue them?”
”Have someone trace their location, but I don't think we need to pursue them. It will be bad for us when they decide to turn around and hit us. We've lost too much in this war, so don't let anyone who can be saved die.” Alex shook his head.
”I understand.” The Song Goddess nodded.
”Still, we can't afford to let them free because the Bats will surely destroy many more worlds. As much as I don't care about the lives in those worlds, I don't like the idea that our enemies will be multiplied. We will corner and pressure them but don't get too close, so we can retreat all the time. I'm afraid that beast is planning for the worst.” Alex frowned.
”The worst?” Alaya suddenly noticed something and remembered the scene of the past. After some contemplating, she said while drawing a gasp. ”The stage above God King.”
”!!!” All God Kings widened their eyes and looked at Alaya with a shocked expression. They never even considered something like that.
Alex acknowledged and continued, ”I don't know, but my past life gave me a certain memory. It was the fight between him and the beast. In that fight, the beast was said to be close to reaching the next stage.”
”But wouldn't it be not wise? I mean, if he advances to the next stage, he will be expelled from this universe.”
”You will have some time. I don't know the exact time, but I think there are a few hours to a day. In that time span, the beast will kill all of us before his servants destroy the rest. I'm sure that's enough, right?” Alex let out a long sigh.
”…”
”Should we hide then?” The Magic Goddess, Rubia, asked with a serious expression. If the other party wanted to kill them, as long as they hid for a period of time, they shouldn't need to worry about it and kill the rest.”
Alex shook his head. ”The beast comes from another universe and a bigger one on top of that. I'm afraid the beast has some connections there, so if he escapes this universe and brings reinforcements, all of us will be defeated at that time. The best choice here is to kill him to avoid future problems.”
Although they agreed with Rubia's suggestions, Alex's reasoning seemed to be more valid. It was like someone from the Upper World went to a Lower World. If he returned to the Upper World and brought a thousand people there, the Lower World would be destroyed.
”Still, it doesn't change the fact that we need to fight against someone above God King.”
”I know.” Alex's expression turned grim as he said, ”Leave the Beast to me. I will make sure to kill him.”
”Spirit God, this is not a joke. Even with your strength, it's impossible to win against someone that powerful. And with how you fought him on equal ground earlier…” Raiju gritted his teeth and didn't continue.
Alex looked down with a small smile. ”I still have one trump card. I don't know if it will bring us any good, but I need to try.”
”…” The God Kings exchanged looks, knowing that they had no idea how to fight the beast other than to trust Alex. After a long pause, they nodded their heads in succession.
Alex smiled. ”Anyway, our plan is to corner them in one place while maintaining our distance. I'm sure they are going to come back as soon as possible.”
