Chapter 1169: Arrangement
Like Alex's progress, the other side had also progressed so much. Because of the continuous fights, they had become the center of the attention of this universe. Many wanted to fight together with the Spirit God because of the information that had been spreading like mad fire.
They never thought that such a beast was attempting to reach the stage that nobody ever achieved before, making him the strongest in this universe for a day. It was enough for him to slaughter the God Kings in this place.
And with the Spirit God and the others falling, the number of the current God Kings was not enough to handle his servants. Hence, the people began to feel scared because their turn would soon come and ask Lin Xingzhi to allow them to join the fight.
Unfortunately for them, Lin Xingzhi rejected all of them because she didn't know whether they were traitors or not. If there were traitors among them, backstabbing once was enough to turn the situation around.
That was why Alex wanted her to reject everyone to avoid any backstabbing. If they came to the battlefield, they could treat them as an enemy. At the very least, it wouldn't be that bad to treat them as enemy reinforcement since traitors will surely kill one of them first before making their appearance.
If they were enemy reinforcement, Alex would surely command the entire group to react accordingly. That kind of adjustment wouldn't hurt them for a period of time. Within that time, the fight between Alex and the beast would've ended.
After a long pursuit, Lin Xingzhi gathered the God Kings in their group.
"How is the situation?" She asked Anna.
"Everything is good. It seems we're pretty lucky. Not only do we manage to lower their number even more to the point we outnumber them by ten times, but we have prepared everything to fight all out with them. For now, we have a gist of their location, but we're not one hundred percent sure." Anna nodded with a serious expression.
Lin Xingzhi thought for a moment and nodded. "That's pretty good. Maybe Alex's Law is playing with fate...Haha."
No one actually objected to it since they thought the same.
Suddenly, Alaya raised her hand and asked, "What do you think if we fight all out right now?"
"I am not sure." Lin Xingzhi shook her head. "There is a possibility that the beast will come out and wipe all of us out. Without Alex, I don't dare to go there. After all, there's a chance that the beast will forcefully end his cultivation and hit us.
"In the future, even if Alex returned here, the beast was nowhere to be seen." Lin Xingzhi sighed, feeling that the situation was simple yet too complicated.
The Palm God tilted his head in confusion and asked, "In fact, we can actually fight them right now as long as the Spirit God is here. What is he doing? If the beast were cornered continuously, we would've ended the battle already."
The Magic Goddess shook her head helplessly, not knowing how this guy had a daughter that managed to become the Spirit God's wife. She decided to explain it to him, "If we attack them right now... We may win the war, but at what cost? I believe only one or two of us manage to live after that war."
"Is that so?"
"Just think about their strength. You alone won't be enough to kill them completely. If they decided to attack you without thinking about their lives, it would be mutual destruction." The Magic Goddess sighed. "The Spirit God must want war without casualty because we're his allies.
"And I, God of Destruction, God of Wrath, Nature Goddess, Life and Death Goddess have been preparing for this, right?"
Lin Xingzhi nodded, acknowledging her statement. "You must have felt the difference between the master and servant. For now, there are five masters, one bear and four bats. Five of us will deal with them while the rest of you fight the servants.
"Although I don't want to look down on your strength, this is the best lineup. Let's see our whole situation first. Their masters are Earth God, Evil God, Vampire Goddess, Blood God, and Demon God. I will handle the Earth God. Who is going to take the others?"
"I am wondering whether I should pick Evil God or Demon God. After all, a Magical Girl needs to defeat the bad guy. And according to the story, these two are fit to be my enemy." Rubia playfully answered her question first so no one would take her enemy.
"I will handle the Blood God. Blood is the source of life, so my power is at an advantage here." Alaya shrugged, ignoring the Magic Goddess.
Meanwhile, the God of Destruction thought otherwise, asking Rubia, "Why don't you fight that Vampire Goddess?"
"What? You can't fight against a woman, God of Destruction? How cute." Rubia stuck her tongue out.
Raiju crossed his arms as veins bulged on his forehead. He clicked his tongue and said, "I will handle the Vampire Goddess then."
"That's good."
They then turned to the God of Wrath since he would be fighting against the Evil God. Evil and Wrath might be a bit related, but the God of Wrath surprised them by his action. Instead of accepting his role, the God of Wrath, Marcus, lowered his head to Lin Xingzhi, begging, "Mistress, may I request to fight the Earth God in your stead?"
Lin Xingzhi widened her eyes as the others looked at him with amazement. Lin Xingzhi thought for a moment and asked, "Why?"
"Although I didn't have any feelings for the Goddess of Destiny, she had sacrificed her life for me to escape that encirclement and ended up dying in the hands of the Earth God and Battle God. I am not a man if I can't settle this grudge and gratitude." Marcus looked at Lin Xingzhi with a serious expression.
Seeing this reaction, Lin Xingzhi paused for a moment and kept staring at his eyes to see his resolve. In the end, Lin Xingzhi sighed and said, "If the fight were to start before his return, you would deal with him. Otherwise, you shall ask this matter Alex. I will follow his decision."
The God of Wrath clasped his hands politely. "Thank you very much."
"That's the arrangement. Now, we shall split the remaining to all of you. The enemies have Dragon's Pet, Water God. He is a Naga Race that can control water. I need two people." Lin Xingzhi continued with the arrangement.
Since this was the first one she mentioned, to smooth the process up, Anna and Jeanne raised their hands at the same time.
"Jeanne and I will handle this enemy. Jeanne has an elemental advantage, so I believe we can win. Well, I will be too ashamed if we can't." Anna scratched the back of her head. Meanwhile, Jeanne repeatedly nodded her head to show her support for Anna's statement.
"That's the first pair. Then, there's the Bear's Pet, the Battle God. Two people."
They stayed silent for a minute before the Palm God raised his hand. "I think I will fight him. In the past war, I have met him once, so I will settle the fight. As much as I want to deny it, the Battle God is stronger than me because of that power. It's because of that power, okay?!"
"..."
The people fell silent as they thought the same thing, 'He said it twice.'
They facepalmed, knowing how the Palm God hated to lose. After contemplating for another minute, the Holy God raised his hand. "I'm among the first allies you have, so I will be helping the Palm God. I have fought together with him once against a Bear and a Snake, so I think it's a good idea."
The Palm God narrowed his eyes. Surprisingly, he didn't say anything useless as if he was against the idea, telling people that he alone was enough. Instead, the words that came out of his mouth were, "I will be counting on you, Holy God."
"Likewise." The Holy God smiled.
"And since Alex has killed two Bat Pet's, there are only two more, a Lycan and a Panther. There are only four of you left." Lin Xingzhi looked at the remaining four with a serious expression.
The Song Goddess suddenly put her elbow on Leoz's shoulder while saying, "I have grown up watching this guy, so I will be fighting together with him. As for the fight, I don't care much. The other two can decide first."
They then turned to the reinforcement that Navin brought, the God of Greed and God of Strength.
The two exchanged looks and nodded.
"I understand. We will fight together." The God of Greed nodded and asked, "Which one do you like?"
The God of Strength thought for a moment and said, "Lycan. Let's go kill that wolf. I don't know his title since he's not recognized by the universe."
His partner nodded his head, confirming their target.
"Then we will take the Phanter..." The Song Goddess smiled and gave a thumb up.
"That's all for the arrangement for the God Kings. Now, let's move on to the second matter. It will be the positioning for the Rank 2 Gods who will handle all our armies. For now, we have many Rank 2 Gods. My Eulja has Six Elemental Gods, Five Guardians, and two more. In addition, we will also bring the former Fire God, Phitrus's God Beasts, which means another ten Rank 2 Gods. If we add the help from the Blackwade Clan and others, we can add another five Rank 2 Gods at maximum." Lin Xingzhi explained.
"Wow, Eulja alone sent twenty-eight Rank 2 Gods without their Commandants?" The Holy God widened his eyes. "Well, I will give the command to my daughter, the Saintess, to lead the other nine Rank 2 Gods to help."
"I have eight that will help me." The God of Destruction nodded.
"I have seven." The Magic Goddess clapped her hand apologetically. "I have equipped them with my power though, so they are worth more.
The Song Goddess scratched the back of her head, wondering if these people were flexing or not. "I only have six with me, so don't expect much from me."
"..." The God of Greed and God of Strength exchanged looks and said, "Our combined forces only have ten Rank 2 Gods. Because of our far location, we can't contribute much and leave our place unguarded after all."
"In other words, we have a total of sixty-nine Rank 2 Gods then." Lin Xingzhi nodded with satisfaction. She patted Marcus's shoulder since the person had a sad expression. Knowing that all his people had been slaughtered by those beasts, he must feel frustrated. So, Lin Xingzhi said, "We will have all these people to kill those beasts without mercy as well as protecting our battlefield.
"Those who appear on the battlefield will be considered as enemies even if they're not. I'm sure we have sent enough threats about it, right?"
The God Kings nodded with serious expressions, agreeing to what she said. Only Rubia stuck her tongue out while correcting her, "I don't see any threats. It's just a friendly warning. We don't want collateral damage."
The God Kings shrugged their shoulders, ignoring her useless comments again.
Rubia pouted and complained, "Why is no one taking me seriously?"
"Are you seriously asking that question?" The Palm God looked at her with an annoyed face.
"Of course! I have been serious this whole time."
"Such a weird complex." The Palm God shook his head helplessly before he got blown away by a small explosion on his stomach.
The Magic Goddess shouted, "Are you trying to pick a fight against a Magical Girl, the helper of justice? Fine by me! Let's fight!"
Lin Xingzhi and the others only ignored both of them and continued discussing the battle plan.
Unbeknownst to them, the battle between Alexander and the Supreme Beast still continued to this day, trying to reach the next stage as soon as possible. Surprisingly and unknowingly, the one who won this battle was none other than Alex, who met his tribulation first.
