Chapter 1096 It's Getting Harder!
Just as I got squeezed between two sides, I couldn't help but improvise. I clenched my hand over one spike from the rock spear, rotated my body in the air, before changing my trajectory.
It helped to buy me sometime, however I still ended up with few injuries.
"I have to find another way," looking at the gaps in my simple clothes that got soaked with my blood made me realise this wasn't a good plan.
It was just a reflexive move to avoid the sudden change. And now I have to think fast and find a way to survive the huge number of incoming spears towards me.
If I could just find a way to change my trajectory midair, things would be really easy.
What the heck was wrong with this test? I didn't get anything to use.
I kept using these crude methods and more injuries piled up. From my past experience with the wounds at my fists, these weren't going to heal!
However after my sixth successful escape, and when I was checking my wounds in the split seconds between the attacks, my eyes flashed with a realisation.
"I'm not without anything actually… I got this…" I didn't hesitate when I noticed the thing I got and neglected all this time; my clothes!
They were common grade in my eyes, however after getting hacked many times, it was surprising that the clothes were still holding themselves together over my body.
Only the places where the spikes penetrated got holes in them. If it was a common grade material, wouldn't it get torn to pieces already or what?

Without waiting to deduct anything more, I stripped off my upper half naked, held the clothes and rolled it to form a rope.
"Bring it on!" as the next wave of attacks were coming at me, I jumped as usual. The spikes came out from both sides, trapped me inside fast.
Yet just before I'd get scratched by any, I waved the rope I just made and hastily grabbed the other end with my free hand.
Just like an acrobatic in a circus, I changed my path midair without the help of anything but a mere rope.
"It worked, hahahaha, it worked, hahahaha!" as I landed on the ground safe and sound, I couldn't help but laugh.
This stage of the test was destined to be crushed by me.
Starting from here, things started to go smoothly for another two and half days. Like this, almost four days passed, and I got slightly more than one day left before the end of this test.
I was feeling overconfident at the moment. I managed to crush anything thrown at me, and now I was looking for the last and most deadly form of this test.
As I was expecting, the change happened without any warning like usual. Just when I was evading the incoming attacks from one rocky spear and the many spikes coming from it and the ground, I felt something was wrong.
I was in midair already, jumping over the reach of the spikes and the spear, forming a beautiful arch in midair.
However when I was there, I instantly turned around and saw something that made the hair on my back stand to no end.
The spears that I just evaded before used to fly for a few seconds before finally crashing down on the ground, releasing a storm of small rocks all over the place.
However the last few I just passed didn't experience this. I watched in amazement these spears turning around like they were guided missiles, taking a wide turn in midair, before turning towards me and coming in my direction at fast speed.
F*ck! Was I supposed to deal with all of them from now on? What the heck was wrong with the one who designed this test? Was this even called a test anymore or an attempt to kill?
I calmed myself while landing. Right now I was going to get attacked by spears and spikes from different directions at the same time. Thinking about that made me realise I was doomed!
I thought I'd get out of this without much harm. However, seeing all these spears coming from two directions made me drop this hope.
If I got out with my life intact then I'd be blessed with luck.
Luck? No, I shouldn't depend on such an intangible and unreliable factor. I took a deep breath, calmed down my mind, and started to imagine the upcoming hell I was going to face.
"Let's try it out then," I knew that trying to think about a way in such a distressful situation wasn't going to work. When things went south, one had to trust his instincts and depend on his improvisation and desire to survive in dire moments.
So instead of worrying myself and burdening my mind and soul with such useless worries, I threw everything out of my mind, focused only on the upcoming threats.
If I was going down, I'd go down while trying my best and not just while fearing what was happening.
I jumped, evaded one attack from one spear and many spikes like usual, before another one came just from my back, aiming at my blind spot.
"Humph!" as this was happening, I suddenly saw something. The spear coming at me didn't yet release any spikes as it didn't get near me yet.
So instead of worrying about the spikes, why wouldn't I try something else?
Without any delay, I pushed my leg and it hit the side of that spear. Once the two met, spikes started to grow fast.
I also saw the retracting spikes at the ground pause before they resumed their growth once more.
So the incoming spears still held the same abilities as the ones before. However, there was a minute delay in releasing their attacks, and I used this slight push to let my body fly away from the spear.
The evasion was a success, but it wasn't that great actually.
Chapter 1097 You Tricked Me!!!
Just when I moved the side, and even before my body stopped spinning midair, I saw another spear coming from the front.
And another one was following close from the back.
Sh*t! Were they determined to take my life away? Screw you all!
At this moment, I felt great enmity with the rocks that I wanted to blast every single rock in my three worlds when I'd return alive from this test.
Without waiting, I used the momentum of my body and my rope, changed the trajectory of my body again, evading the incoming attack from the front.
Then the attack from behind arrived. And without even catching my breath, I hit it with my leg, sending my body to another direction while flying again.
This kept repeating itself countless times, making me grow numb to this.
Hey mysterious dude high in the sky watching me, my human race wasn't a flying race at all! We dreamt of flying indeed, but that didn't mean you had to grant this wish to me right now!
What the heck was wrong with this test? Was it trying to test me out or trying to teach me the value of flying?
Anyway, I got myself freed from the attacks using this weird way that made me feel like I was one of those races blessed with wings on their backs.
Time passed without me realising it. My mind got weary, and my body started to ache. Despite the fact that I was doing something that seemed simple and not taxing, repeating it without having the chance to catch my breaths was something insane without doubt!
I started panting and my chest kept heaving up and down without any pause for long hours now. Sweat kept dripping over my forehead and face, even sweet salty beads got into my eyes sometimes, making me feel the burning sensation there.
Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV
My mind started to ache with an annoying headache that came from all this spinning and jumping. For such a long time, my feet never touched the ground and the farthest they touched were these rocky spears.
This feeling… I didn't want to feel it again ever in my life.
"Good, the first test is over!"
Without knowing it, my body kept spinning and jumping for an unknown period of time until I finally heard the words of that despicable entity.
When I was jolted awake, I found my body crashing on the ground, landing like a heavy rock. I glided for hundreds of metres while my body kept rolling over the ground until I finally stopped.
It took me roughly half an hour to stand up. My legs were shaking, my upper half was filled with bruises and different wounds that I never recalled when I got them.
It seemed even with my improvised way of evasion, I still got hit many times without knowing it. What? Did my sense of pain grow dull after all this spinning and jumping around?
"You got half a day of rest. Enjoy it as long as you can."
"Screw you!" I didn't show any sign of politeness anymore. I could feel injustice and bias from this test. And that meant that mysterious being, no matter who he was, was already hostile to me.
My head was still hurt and I lost any common sense or control over myself after all this fervent evasion.
"Hahahaha, you are seeking power that's beyond your reach," and when I attacked, he finally showed his true colours, "a race like yours, one that never did anything remarkable in the entire long history of the cosmos, doesn't deserve to have a hegemone!"
"It's not up to you to decide," as he acted in such a way, showing off his dirty intentions towards me, I didn't get dejected. Instead, I did what I used to do in such situations; stand tall and face such injustice with might instead of pleading with useless words.
"I know," he admitted, "but that doesn't mean you'll succeed."
"We'll see about that," just when I heard his words, I sat on the ground on impulse, closed my eyes and tried to regulate my breathing.
Losing my cool wasn't going to do me any good. I got a wimp on his intentions and now I was sure of it.
So I had to calm myself down. However when I did that, something miraculous occurred.
The energy inside my body responded to my posture and started rotating. I checked everything before, yet I missed my spiritual energy and cultivation base.
Damn! How did I forget about these and was only focused only on using the system, my class, my weapons, and my forces?
Something seems wrong here with this world… I was sure that I tried to use everything I had under my disposal. Yet for unknown reasons, I seemed to totally forget about my cultivation strength.
Don't tell me this world had a psychological effect, negatively impacting my train of thoughts and state of mind?
And just when I was puzzled, a refreshing feeling invaded my body without any restraints.
"This… Sigh! It seems you figured it out and managed to overcome the second trial…" just when I was bathed by my spiritual energy, cleansing my body from any wound, fatigue, and wrath, his words echoed in my mind.
I was startled when I heard him before I recalled what he said before. There were going to be three tests, one for my body, one for my soul, and the last was for my heart.
But he just announced one test only. Since when the second test started?
I opened my eyes and looked at the distant sky. It was still filled with densely packed clouds and thundering lightning.
Yet for a reason, I felt calmer and at ease thanks to my spiritual energy in my body.
"You tricked me?" This was the only possible explanation for all this.
This motherf*cker twisted the facts, used his authority as someone overseeing this trial of mine, and kept some news hidden.
Chapter 1098 I Passed!
"Don't blame me, blame yourself for being negligent," he indeed got a thick skin and was shameless, even more than I, "to be a hegemone…"
"Stop giving me this bullshit!" I didn't want to hear any of his garbage anymore. I slowly stood up, looked in challenge towards the sky before adding in a cold tone, "trying to use your fake authority to subdue me and make me fail? And you call yourself a man? Come here, let me teach you a lesson!"
"Hahahaha! Lovely little creature, hahahaha! Do you think you can even withstand a wisp of my power? That's hilarious!"
He kept laughing, and I knew I'd be seeking death if he really came. But for a reason, I felt he wouldn't. Or to be more precise, he couldn't.
So what was the use of being cautious of him? He was doing his best to make me fail. So why wouldn't I try and insult him a little? At least such anger in me would vent and get relieved.
"You got half a day of rest, these are the rules," just before I'd say anything, he suddenly added, "I'll wait for you to be ready. Or better, to be not, hahahaha!"
,m And in response to his provocations, I raised my middle finger, two actually, towards the distant sky. "Go f*ck yourself then while I'm recuperating," I said in disdain, sat back again, and continued healing my body and regaining my strength.
This dude was just getting on my nerves! So speaking with him wasn't going to do me any good.
Trying to trick me? Activating a test secretly without telling me about it?
Like this, I completed one test, the test of the body, with my sincere efforts. Luckily I also cleared the soul test without even knowing it.
All that remained would be the heart test, but what would it be like? I pondered for a few minutes before a thought suddenly passed through my mind.
"Wait a minute…" I slowly opened my eyes, stood up and looked at the sky in doubt, "I don't need to rest, bring it on, bring that test right away!"
"Are you sure? Your body still needs rest and healing! Stay put and rest, that's good for your sake."
Hearing these words made me much surer of my earlier guess.
Damn! I was just this close from missing it out!
The idea was simple: if that bastard activated the second test without telling me, then why wouldn't he also activate the third as well?
The test of a heart? Wasn't it also a test of one's will? Or what?
Sitting here and listening to his blabbery words, following my enemy's instructions wasn't going to do me any good.
I was sure the heart test was undergoing after he tried to persuade me to rest. Since when this jerk was on my side, caring about my body and my well being?
No way! He was doing this for his own sake, not mine.
"I said, bring it on right now!" without even hesitating anymore, I raised my fist high in the air, as if I was punching his face with it.
"Are you sure? Once started, you'll lose this chance!"
"I'm sure," stop bullshitting me. I wouldn't fall for this trick, "do it now!"
"Tsk! And here I thought I was this close from making you fail… What a regret… What a loss…"
"I knew it!" without the need to listen to the rest of his words, I knew this was the third test and I cleared it.
"You passed the third test, the heart test of heart. You have a good will and your desire for strength can't be subdued by any external factor. You passed the trial and are now eligible to step further ahead…"
Hearing his words made me feel something. This dude… He was just putting a show just now to corner me or what?
His tone showed his sincerity and happiness towards my success. Or was it my illusion?
Before thinking much about it, a glare appeared and blinded me for a few minutes. Then I found myself back into that miraculous world where I started everything from.
The first test was to see how I'd react in a fight. Of course if I knew that cultivation was allowed, then I could have used my power from it and crushed all these rocks without any struggle.
But for a reason, it seemed that mysterious beings used a special method to fog my mind and make me miss this crucial factor.
As for the second and third tests, they got activated the moment the first test started. The test for the soul was directed towards me getting over his manipulation with my mind. And the heart test was to see if I'd obediently follow my enemies orders or not.
So he had to act aggressive and show himself as my true enemy for this test to succeed. A good actor indeed, or perhaps this was just expressing what he really thought about me, about my race?
Just when I was in the middle of such deep thinking, I felt like a force was repulsing me away.
"Tsk… I couldn't stay there after returning… That world was indeed a rare chance for me…" the next moment, I opened my eyes as I got back to the real world.
It seemed when I came out of that trial, my thoughts and state of mind weren't perfect like before. And that cost me to lose the chance to keep training there.
However I got what I wanted and pushed the limit of my cultivation to a brand new level.
Even if I lacked the means to go inside the dark shadow world for now and explore the new changes in my base, the leap in power already occurred.
And that was what really mattered.
"Wow! How long was I inside that world?!"
Just as I stood up, and aside from hearing cracking noises coming from my joints, I found something shocking.
The bones grew to such a scary degree that they started to rise up in the air, sending thick branches that looked like dead and leafless trees.
Chapter 1099 The Den Of Bones
This… I didn't hesitate to summon my chariot, rose high in the air and took a grander look.
"A forest of bones? And it's stretched out for tens of miles all around? Wow!"
That part of the continent here turned all black. Soil vanished and ground now was made out of thick layers of bones that came on top of each other, forming a very dense and complicated net.
I looked at the place where all this started. The technique was now hidden under layers upon layers of bones, but its black lustre could still be spotted inside.
It was still working, and it was still providing energy to the deans of bone artefact.
Wasn't it supposed to build an entire world with bones? Or did it decide to take a new form?
Being baffled and pleasantly surprised, I started to take a grand tour around.
Previously the bones covered an area of tens of miles. I estimated from the look of the forest that the magical artefact ditched the idea of growing horizontally and started to grow vertically.
But soon enough I knew I underestimated this artefact.
The size of bones expanding on the ground already exceeded hundreds of miles. The forest of bones alone covered an area double the area I last seen before starting my cultivation.
What the heck was wrong with this artefact? Was it going to turn this entire continent into a world of bones?
And how long exactly did I take in my first cultivation session?
As I lacked any clues for an answer, I asked Lily through a direct message. And the answer was quite shocking.
[You disappeared for almost five months now. Don't tell me you didn't even realise time was passing!]
Wow! Five entire months? Wait, was that thanks for the trial? Or did time flow that fast inside that special world?
At least I got the answer to all these shocking changes from the dens of bones.
I then returned back and didn't hurry to resume my training again. I first activated the turbo mode of my class again and started absorbing the bones from the forest around.
Just seeing all these flashing dots racing up at me at a very fast pace made me grin. This was effective indeed. It wasn't just going to give me a way to train in shadow world energy, it was also providing an endless supply of bones.
After a few minutes I stopped and checked the status of one bone.
It was black grade to begin with, and it was slightly similar to the dark realm monster bones I got before. Yet the energy inside it was much thicker and higher in purity and quantity than similar black grade dark realm bones.
"Hmm… Despite it being one of the main sources of bones in the future, it's still hard to use these bones in any external trade…"
I knew these bones came from turning the endless dark shadow energy into bones. It was like forming them out of thin air.
It was a process that'd take a long time, but it was worth it indeed.
Just… The bones were all like dark realm monster bones, not like any normal bones. I didn't start trading with these dark realm monster bones before.
First I got a really small amount of them. And I planned to use them before to raise up my cultivation base. Lastly, I knew the value of each bone would be much greater than the bones I normally used in any trade before.
In addition to that, by using the way I learnt, I could turn any of such bone into a deadly bomb.
The scene of raging wildfire ocean out of my necromancer's world was still vivid in my eyes.
It wasn't something that I could easily forget. And I planned to widely use these when attacking the strong forces of Hescos later on.
So these bones held greater importance for me at the moment. However as I grew used to this, the value of bones was just like any other currency, and would depreciate with the passage of time and with further deals being done.
Even if I got sceptical about using them for now, I was sure I'd depend entirely on them at some point. And that was when the true value of this den would kick in and shine.
Preparing such a priceless treasure trove of bones in such an early stage was something I had to admit was related more to luck.
In fact, in every challenge and hard encounter, great things were destined to happen if I kept facing such challenges with ironclad will.
After checking and making sure these bones were special, I started to test another thing. I laid my hand over the ground and kept absorbing the bones in turbo mode for almost half a day.
Then I stopped, took my chariot and started a great flight again. I wanted to check the impact of using my absorption ability over the growth of this den of bones.
"Not bad… Almost lost one percent only… And the loss only came from the outer zone, not touching or affecting the forest of bones at all…"
After taking a slow tour around for a few hours I came to this conclusion. Only a small area got cleared out of bones, showing the underneath normal ground.
This wasn't because my absorption ability was weak, but it seemed the technique grew a tacit understanding and strong mutual relation with the dens of bones.
It provided strong input of energy, enough to make up for most of my absorption ability. That was great, as it meant after waiting for two more years, this place would turn into a real treasure trove for me.
And who knew, this technique might grow even bolder and increase the output of energy to a scary degree.
I spent half a year training here, and I still have two more years ahead of me. After checking on all the changes and facts about my artefact, I started to check my energy.
My cultivation base gained a high leap in strength, jumping from big base one to big base two. I didn't know what my current rank was, but it should be at least one or two at least.
Chapter 1100 Human Firearm Weapons Are Ready
This wasn't bad. I knew I'd take more time to solidify my energy and raise my base slowly. If each session took around six months like the first one, then I had four chances to train.
Getting to the top ninth small stage was a dream. I would be pleased if I ended up at stage five or six at most.
This was the limit of training for two and half years.
As I checked my energy, I found that it had made another leap. It was pale blue before, and now it is dark silver in colour.
I could also see a faint golden colour from time to time.
The energy got a good boost indeed. And when I examined it closer, I found that it grew thicker as well. It looked like what I gained from my earlier jump wasn't just a simple upgrade to my cultivation base.
My spiritual energy got a total enhancement as well. Hopefully by the end of my training here, the energy would bypass the pale gold stage and enter the dark gold stage or even better; the black stage.
Unlike what I expected, that miraculous epiphany state never recurred again. Each time I'd be sent into a simple world without the same feeling like before.
And with each training session, I took almost from two up to four months. I never had a long six months period.
I trained diligently and only took a few hours of rest each time. I checked with Lily and Angelica about the updates on their side.
Things were heading smoothly out there. The plan of strengthening my humans and other weak races and granting them access to cultivation was proceeding smoother than I expected.
And training these forces and much more was going as planned. My little Qi was doing a great job in controlling monsters and letting the scary dudes away from my forces.
Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV
According to Lily, they were now working on ten different continents. And that number was destined to grow more in time.
One year and a half years have already passed. And that made me contact Silverlining again and pay him in advance for the rest of the period here.
He was slightly shocked by the fact that the fifth quest didn't yet start. I didn't explain anything and knew he got a point to be suspicious.
According to him, not only his race sovereigns and strong names were puzzled by this, but even the Hescos higher ups were as well.
Of course they got all the right to feel so. Time flew at their end normally, but at the worlds related directly to me it passed in a different concept.
Silverlining even told me they ran checks over such phenomena and found out that at different points in the past, time flew differently as well.
Yet it never happened to run in such a way before, where what was supposed to happen in a few weeks didn't start even after the passage of a year and half.
I kept my silence towards this matter and didn't explain anything to him. This time manipulation effect was something related to me, one of my deepest secrets. And it was better to keep it hidden from the eyes of outsiders as long as I could.
I paid the price and closed the chat with him before asking Lily about the situation of the outside world. According to her, everything was processing smoother than we planned.
The warm welcome of the new mating experience between different races brought forth many new talents to my forces. Not to mention all of the new generations had cultivation already, and many of them joined my armies.
The resources gathered from the second Earth world and the pocket world were processed at great speed and high efficiency. According to Angelica, the resources we got right now was enough to cover up entire continents.
Not to mention all of these were high grade resources, considered even rare materials and some might ascend to the ranks of treasures.
Angelica proposed to use these in exchange for the unending influx of races and humans here. But I reassured her that it wasn't needed.
She led the building and mining projects, and the former was indeed going very well. The number of inhabited continents was much bigger than the ones used in training, reaching eighteen continents so far, almost double those used as training grounds.
On another hand, Lily gave me the great news about the research department. These folks managed at last to modify my human arsenal weapon systems, making them apocalypse friendly.
According to her, the newly developed weapons held much more destructive power than anything she saw before.
These scientists didn't just stop at modifying the old human arsenal. They started to create new weapons using both human and alien technology.
And these new weapons were indeed terrifying per Lily's words.
She also told me that old Gan succeeded partially in his task in deconstructing and understanding Hescos suits.
It seemed that the old man dreamt about building a totally new suit that belonged only to my forces. When I heard about this, I knew this goal would take a very long time indeed.
However it was worth the wait.
In addition to that, he developed a few weapons that could hurt those Hescos even when using their suits in flight.
But according to Lily's words, these weapons were still in the stage of development, and their number was still small.
However this was just the beginning. This all happened in a year and half. What would happen after another year?
I had high expectations for this. The dream of finally using the human firearm weapons that rendered useless on Earth was finally getting closer to being true.
Once they mastered the right way to do it, I'd then release lots of forces all over Earth and start gathering the already broken and useless firearm arsenal back there.
When wielding yourself with knowledge ahead of everyone else, even a scrap of metal would turn into a priceless treasure.
That was the power of knowledge, and that was part of my power, luckily.
Chapter 1101 Time To Use Magical Artefacts
As things were proceeding in a great way, I didn't hurry to continue my training for now.
There was still one mission that I didn't do yet; using my unused magical artefacts.
Scanning through them, I found that out of the twenty-seven artefacts I got, almost seventeen could be used now.
The rest needed a world with brutal and continuous wars and killing, or I couldn't use it in case of my fountain of life artefact.
This artefact already got used here. So using it again would be a waste, right? It wouldn't bring any new results to this world anymore.
According to Angelica, she told me that this world had around fifty-six continents. It was indeed crazy, but the crazier thing was the fact that this world was still growing.
Damn! How big this world intended to grow before finally stopping?
I couldn't tell.
However this meant I could use a few continents around and turn this region entirely into a magical artefact region.
From my experience with the artefacts I used so far, they were heavily focused on the energy used to nourish them.
In the case of my necromancer's world, I got no boost aside from the items I bought with it. So even though it was growing at a nice pace, it was still incomparable and pale in comparison to the other two artefacts.
My fountain of life gained tons of energy that allowed it to create such a miracle here. And my den of bones was going to grow endlessly as long as my technique was still going.
Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV
At this point, I felt that this technique entered a self reservation state. It didn't need any control from me, or even the need to be still attached to my left hand.
It was operating solo at the moment, entering what I called an automated state.
So as long as nothing happened to it, the dense and pure dark shadow world energy would continue pouring into the den of bones artefact, expanding it endlessly.
What would happen when bones would reach the edge of the land? Would they keep growing into the ocean bed or what?
If so, would they then start expanding all over the world, covering up the unused water grounds?
Well, I wouldn't mind that to be honest. I didn't have any use for the ocean beds anyway.
I looked at the map I got before from Lily. There was a group of six smaller continents around this one here.
"I shall start with the big thing first," I had to admit, my desire for using all these artefacts stemmed from the den of warriors.
Through this magical artefact, I could turn anyone into a summonable warrior of mine. That was indeed a wild card that I intended to use wisely and widely from now on.
So I moved my chariot fast, and headed towards the next continent. This big one would be the bone production base for me, and the next would be the warrior factory one.
And like this, these two would form the core of my strength here.
I checked the conditions of using the dens of warriors while I was on my way there. Any magical artefact would have few conditions like amount of energy, materials provided before usage, and even conditions related to the world itself.
The den of warriors needed an extravagant amount of energy that would determine the value of the formed warriors at the end. Besides they needed one million warriors as sacrifice and then extra millions for expansion and adding more features.
The issue of warriors wasn't a problem. Just checking and I found tens of billions of warriors inside my inventory. Seeing this number made my scalp grow numb.
Of course not all of them were good warriors. Only a few tens of millions were soulers and Bulltors. Others weren't that strong. Besides they lacked the support of stat points.
However, for my luck, there was a magical artefact that could solve this problem for me permanently.
It was called the mine of crystals artefact. It was aimed to create a grand mine that was able to produce different grades of energy crystals in time.
At first I missed this as it lacked anything related to stat points. However when I read its description carefully, I was excited to see stat points, orbs, and crystals among the long list of energy sources that mine could provide.
p Of course there was no total control over the type of energy crystals formed in the mine. Only by providing more energy would the mine expand and produce more crystals.
Of course it went without saying that the source of all this energy needed by these artefacts would be the same technique I used to drive energy from my shadow world and enriched the den of bones with.
This was currently my highest source of energy, and also the cheapest. It was free, without the need for me to do anything.
Not to mention the ability of this technique to grow into an automated state. However, as this state would take a long time to occur, I had to get content by just using two techniques at any given moment.
Then I'd resume training and wait until any of them wouldn't need my control anymore before starting a new technique.
This meant for the highly valued artefact, I had to postpone using them for now.
As I headed towards the next continent, I started to carefully read through the different artefacts' descriptions and select which ones to support using my technique.
To say that any magical artefact was bad was wrong. Any artefact was already on a high level, one that wouldn't bring me any loss.
But few stood on top of others actually. For example, there was the den of warriors, the mine of crystal, the den of heroes, and the haven of ores magical artefacts.
These four held the most value to me, and I decided to use them using my energy as the main source.
Chapter 1102 Almost Done
The haven of ores was just like what its name described. It would create a large world where thick veins of different ores would appear and grow higher in grade.
It's only harsh requirement was for me to provide the different types of ores I wanted this artefact to produce at the start. Considering that my world here and at second Earth already got high grade ores made me hesitate to place great value over this artefact.
However who would say no to more wealth and power? High grade ores wouldn't just serve my kingdom in the yet to come expansion, but they could be sold at any market for a high price.
In exchange for them I could ask for anything in return.
But the condition of gathering all the ores I needed to have before activating it was a sort of limitation in my eyes.
If it could produce other ores later, it would go without any hesitation in that list.
After a long time of contemplating, I decided to enrol it in my highly valued list of magical artefacts.
Of course if not for my hand being tied here with training, and then would grow busier later on thanks to the fifth and the golden quest, I'd prefer to use my technique over all of these artefacts.
However, waiting for that would make me lose a lot of time. Any artefact needed a great deal of energy and time to produce effects.
And who said I wouldn't be able to get my hands on more artefacts later on? For a reason I felt that there was a stable and reliable source to provide such artefacts to these sovereigns.
I wasn't a fool, neither were they. If they just got one artefact, they wouldn't give it away in return for anything.

After all the main use of these artefacts would be for the outer battlefield.
That meant these sovereigns already had more magical artefacts. And considering the high number and the fact that they weren't the only formidable beings in the universe made me quite positive about my earlier guess.
I just had to be patient and keep digging for news about the source of these artefacts. Then as they managed to get their hands on these, I also could get my hands on more.
Either by using wealth or power, more artefacts were destined to fall in my hands.
As I decided, I went to the next continent and started by the den of warriors first.
I simply selected one hundred million warriors and sacrificed them at the small statue of the altar that represented the artefact.
Then I made my technique while dropping a single blood drop of mine over the artefact.
Like magic, the statue shook and started to glow in black light thanks to my giant black ball formed by my technique.
As I got experience from the past attempt with the den of bones, I knew this would take days before stabilising itself.
The one hundred million warriors just stood around the altar in circles before their bodies got enveloped under a thick layer of black fog in a few hours.
I knew their fate and couldn't help but anticipate what this would bring me in the end.
As this artefact would take time to give results, I saved the bookmark of this place and started moving towards the next continent.
I decided to appoint four entire continents to the four top magical artefacts of mine. Then other less useful artefacts would have to share single continents together.
I took almost two days to cross the continent before heading towards the next. The next artefact to use was the den of heroes.
It wasn't that important for me right now as I didn't have any good warriors that I'd regret their loss. But it was still a good artefact that might be useful later on.
After executing my technique over it, I saved it's bookmark before taking a wide journey over the surrounding continents.
I saved their bookmarks, took almost ten days to finish all that, before finally jumping back to the continent of bones.
I knew the two techniques I formed would take time till entering a stage of autonomy. So I started training right away, hoping in the next few months I'd get freed from controlling them.
It took two sessions of training before these two techniques broke free from my control. I jumped to the other two nearest and empty continents to them and used the mine of crystals first.
As the haven of ores couldn't be used yet, I decided to use another artefact and power it up using my technique.
It was the fire of magic, allowing anyone living there for a certain period of time to gain a single elemental magic.
It might seem strong, but it wasn't that domineering. It has many limitations. First it needed people to stay and live inside this world for a fixed period of time, at least three months.
Second, the boost wasn't permanent. It would wear down slowly over the course of six months. Third, no one could tell which elemental magic they'd get. And lastly, it needed tons of energy to keep it running.
Putting all these cons against pros made this artefact little useful to me and my forces.
However as I got a free spot for my technique, I decided to nourish this one. Who knew what my black shadow energy would have as an impact over this artefact in the future.
As I was done with these two artefacts, putting aside the haven of ores for now while asking Angelica to start gathering up different ores from this world, the outer one, I started a spree of activating the rest of artefacts at the nearby continents.
I left one large continent for the haven of ores.
And now all I had to do was to return, resume training, and wait for the remaining eight months to pass before finally getting out of here.
Chapter 1103 Creating New Techniques
I was already excited about the fifth and golden quests, about facing Hescos, invading other worlds, expanding my kingdom, and getting to verify all the rumours and theories about zombies.
The problem with the zombie disaster was indeed interesting. If I managed to control it as that zombie race powerhouse said, then it would turn out to be a blessing.
Having a way to solve the biggest disaster was indeed great, especially when my enemies were destined to struggle and face tons of trouble with it.
Thinking about these things didn't distract me from resuming my training. As I progressed, I realised that there was no way for me to get exactly my current strength.
Was I at stage three? Four? Or six of the second big base? I couldn't tell. All I could notice at the end of these two and half long years was the improvement in my energy and strength.
I held a strength that was almost five times like I held before. And my energy changed from being silver into pale gold now.
asI ended the training for the last time, I got almost two weeks left before that deadline would come to an end.
Such time wasn't enough for me to train again, or else I'd stay here longer than expected.
I need to go back once I'm done to Earth. I left things there for so long and had to return and arrange the situation. I also wanted to know the latest updates from various races.
I also wanted to leave instructions here for my trusted and capable generals to start amassing the grand armies and be ready for battle.
However before I'd do any of that, I got something to do… Oh, they were two, not just one thing.
I still haven't used the artefact of the ores yet. I asked Angelica to gather up lots of ores, and yet I didn't go and meet with her.
But that could be put aside. Doing this would require me to use my technique, forcing me to stay here for months.
Tsk… This task had to be put aside for now.
Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV
The task that I had in mind to do was actually very crucial. According to the old man's recordings and Sith's teachings, they both emphasised over the same thing; fighting techniques!
According to the two, anyone with cultivation was trying to grow his strength not only by the baptism of spiritual energy.
This would be considered as a passive enhancement.
As for the active approach, it was via inventing cultivation techniques that suited different battle styles.
I was familiar with techniques, but mine were aiming towards a large area. In my eyes, they were like AOE skills or something like this.
However if I got myself fighting against a strong foe, just like that king back then or a hegemony grade individual with special abilities, then I'd struggle.
My techniques wouldn't help that much actually. In fact this might be considered the sore spot of my power.
"I'm using my glaive… So techniques related to it should suit me better," I contemplated and decided to start thinking about inventing techniques for my glaive.
My techniques used blood and drawing circles to take shape. However, during an intense fight against any super power, I couldn't believe he would give me the chance to execute techniques in such a complicated way.
I closed my eyes and recalled the words of Silverlining and Sith about the common paths of techniques.
Fighting techniques could be considered like abilities or skills. They could be activated by a whim and only required a large amount of energy.
Energy wasn't the problem, but how to invent techniques that would suit my glaive and get activated fast?
According to these two, the system complemented the cultivation path. After all, for most of the people living in the universe, getting their cultivation was a system underhanded move.
However it wasn't the case for me. My cultivation was an obvious anomaly and it just happened without the intervention of the system.
Could the system really help? I didn't know if it was going to work or not.
However there was no loss in trying.
According to Sith, to create a technique I had first to envision it in my mind deeply. It was like creating the techniques but in my mind. And then the system was supposed to do the rest.
I took a deep breath, cleared my mind, and started to think about my glaive. What were the best kinds of attacks that I could create by it?
My dragon glaive was so damn heavy and domineering. Glaives were either very sharp, very swift, or very crushing in nature.
My light glaive followed the swiftness path. My heavy glaive was one that was so sharp. But my dragon glaive gave me the impression of being crushing in its attacks.
So whatever I should use, it'd be best to have a crushing nature in it.
The attacks that could generate his speed and move the glaive fast weren't favourable nor attractive to me.
The ones that could crush the enemy in one blow were!
Closing my eyes, I envisioned myself holding the dragon glaive and waving it around. A shocking air pressure wave like tsunami erupted and cleared the world all around me.
Another attack landed and the ground all around shook, gaps appeared as rocks flew high and moved at a speed enough to bring fire over them.
I jumped high and waved the glaive around, releasing crescentic shaped arcs, each enough to explode and leave behind a mushroom shaped explosion.
"These are nice," I felt great while having such an experience. However when I opened my eyes, I got many notifications and one little surprise.
[You got a chance to gain a technique]
[The system analysed your cultivation base and weapons in inventory]
[A match found]
[The dragon glaive is matching the fighting technique you created]
[Please give a name to this technique]
Chapter 1104 Getting Armies Ready
[Technique description: By holding the dragon glaive, you'll pour your spiritual energy into the glaive, making it burn the energy and release a wide area attack that will envelop an area of ten miles in radius. The area will suffer from a heavy pressure, releasing torrents of fire around, burning anyone standing in]
[The technique is overbearing! And you'll need to pay one third of your current spiritual energy as a price]
[Please give a name to this technique]
.
.
.
[Please give a name to this technique]
Seven messages appeared, and all of them described the scenes I had in mind. All were related to my dragon glaive, and all created techniques that could be activated using the system help.
The prerequisite of this was that I'd have enough spiritual energy, hold my glaive in the action, and then the technique would be activated.
"This is amazing!" Thinking back about my trip and struggle in the dungeon before to get my hands over a handful of skills for my weapons, I realised how domineering this way was.
However even if it was a great shortcut, and gave me such awesome and destructive techniques, each technique cost a large amount of my spiritual energy.
The weakest took one fourth of my spiritual energy, and there were two who took ninety percent of my spiritual energy.
That meant that I wasn't able to use these domineering techniques one after another. It was a limitation set by the system to keep things fair.
But since when things were fair? The system always had many loopholes, and I always suffered thanks to this kind of sh*t.
Playing fair? No f*cking way I'd do that! If others weren't playing fair, why would I be an honest man then?
Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV
If the system limited my techniques by the high expenditure of energy, then it was a simple matter. Using bones would solve all this in no time. And I could even repeatedly use the techniques without any cooldowns!
The system seemed to get a good guarantee by placing such high energy expenditure on my techniques. So it didn't force any cooldown on any of the techniques.
Hahahaha! That system… It was really garbage piece of sh*t!
I named the seven techniques by giving out random names. I knew the system wouldn't guess my intentions until it'd be too late to act.
I got the ability to come up with many techniques later on. But I wasn't in any urge to add more techniques right now.
The system was a naive fool indeed. Once it sat a rule over something, it wouldn't change it even if truth proved fairness didn't exist.
Just seeing the current lousy state of any apocalypse trial was enough to make me sure of this guess.
So why would I rush and come up with weak and useless techniques? It was better for me to wait and think deeply about it, and take my time to come up with lethal techniques later on.
Once a fool would always be a fool, this statement really applied over the system.
After doing all this, I got a message from the system next that startled me.
[The wait is over! The Krishn world already absorbed the worlds you provided to it]
[Congratulations! The new Krish world is expressing its gratitude to your actions. From now on, you are the sole owner of this world with the ability to move it around as you feel like]
[The world's will is expressing her gratitude, and she now can help you at any conflict or trouble times you may face]
"This… Wasn't that two weeks remaining?!!" I got shocked by this before I guessed the reason and calmed down.
It seemed the experience of coming up with new techniques wasn't that simple. Was it like getting into cultivation? It had to be, or else how could two weeks pass just like this?
It was great news for me to hear that the long wait ended. Two and half years… That was the longest period I ever experienced since coming here.
But it wasn't all that good. I missed my chance to give orders to Lily and others to assemble the armies.
Let me think… I still had time if I remained here, at least for one month.
I could stay hidden here, send Lily and Angelica out to start amassing the armies.
Once they were done, I could simply return to Earth directly. This would save me the problem of tight time.
[Where are you?] I sent this to Lily and Angelica before adding, [Playtime is over. Now it's time for us to go to war. Meet me up at the first continent we came here at]
[It's time? At last! I'll give the orders for armies here to start organising themselves] Lily sent.
[I'm going back right now!] Angelica didn't seem that excited, or perhaps she said a few words because she was very impatient to leave?
I knew they would take time to arrive at the place of gathering, so I took a few hours to absorb more bones from the den of bones around me.
[We are here, where are you?]
[You do know that you have a habit of giving out promises and failing them?]
I looked at the two messages who were sent by the two ladies at the same time. I rolled my eyes while muttering:
"I never did that thing as delaying my promises… Only Isac has the right to say such a thing to me… Tsk…"
I took out the staff and instantly jumped back to where the two were.
And when I arrived there, two glaring pairs of eyes were looking at me in anticipation.
"We are finally going to return to the bustling action of war, hahahaha!" Lily laughed the moment she jumped back on my chariot. She revealed part of her personality I never knew existed.
She loved wars it seemed. Or might be action in fighting? I couldn't tell.
"We have been dwindling here for such long years!" Angelica harrumphed, "look at me! Even my body grew up beautifully and yet you didn't come even once to check it over, humph!"
"..."
Chapter 1105 Terrifying Monsters!
Now I knew why this sexy fiery lady was angry at me. When I looked at her, she indeed got a point.
Her body grew ripe at certain places, giving her a more mature touch to the eye.
Sigh! If not for my curse, I'd have already added you to my long list of ladies waiting like yourself.
"Let's bring everyone over first," I cleared my throat, "we have one month time according to this world's estimates. That meant ten days back in the outer world, and almost half a day at Earth time."
"Such complicated sh*t about time gives me a headache!" Angelica rolled her eyes while moving her hands over her body on purpose, over revealing her exquisite curves and delicacies.
With a deep sigh I couldn't help but move my eyes away from her. "This is the time schedule for us. Don't forget it… One month here, ten days out there."
"Are we going to gather everyone here?" Lily asked before adding in doubt, "if so this will take much longer than that."
"No need," I shook my head, "just let the ones ready to fight to move away from the battles. Leave the newbies there to fight and train."
"But…"
I got what she was fearing. So I said to reassure her, "I'll pay a visit to little Qi and make him decrease the intensity of the attacking monsters everywhere."
Her face beamed with relief, "But this is just temporary. After all, the influx of fresh people won't stop even when we are at war."
"Not a problem," she still held her relaxed appearance, "I'll go and deal with things in the outer world. Angelica can deal with things here."
Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV
"Sure, I have a staff and it's easy for me to do it."
I looked at the two girls, knowing that with them here many things would be solved.
"Good, I'll wait for you here in one month's time then. Don't take too long, ok?"
I watched the two moving away, one flashed through a portal she opened using her staff and the other simply ascended to the upper world using the exit high above our head.
"Time to go and tell that little Qilin to hold back his forces," I muttered while thinking about turning those strong enough to my warriors.
I already used the den of warriors back there, but didn't try to use it.
I opened a portal to where little Qi was while asking myself what the changes at that side were.
Two and half years passed, not short and not too long. But from the earlier signs, I held high hopes for that monster army.
But nothing I expected could be compared to what welcomed me when I arrived there.
"This… Damn cool!" I appeared hovering in midair on my chariot, to be met with a scene of endless grand monsters on air and ground, extending to the end of my sight.
Each monster was already a couple of hundred of metres in length. Those on the ground had much bigger bodies than those flying, but the difference was compensated by the huge wings these flying beasts had.
Each one gave me a vibe of being a strong foe even to me. Some had halos of different lights covering up their bodies, like a sort of protective coat of energy.
Seeing this made me drool over turning all of them into my warriors. Just having such a grand army at my disposal, summoning them at any given time and throwing them into any difficult battle was indeed a great thing.
"Oh, master is here, master is here, hahahaha!" Just when I was still absorbing the current unbelievable situation in front of me, the cheerful tone from little Qi attracted my attention.
"Well… You grew a bit since our last meeting," I couldn't help but get more surprised by the changes in its body.
Saying that these grand monsters were huge was simply incorrect. Compared to little Qi, this dude was at least five hundred metres in length.
As he grew bigger, he grew fiercer as well. Right now it has many sharp and dangerous looking spikes coming out from different places of its body while some weird looking crystals appear around its neck.
It looked much stronger than before. It seemed this little dude did indeed get benefits from these silly games he was supervising over others.
Well, as long as it grew stronger it was better for me.
"I missed you, lord," it came over, flew for a few times before adding amidst its laughs, "I waited for lord to come, but lord took a long time to do that."
Right now it has the ability to speak normally like any sane race. I nodded in satisfaction. Waiting for this long didn't just allow my forces to grow stronger, but my elites also grew and evolved.
What would be the case for my other pets? Would they also give me such a pleasant surprise as well?
I had to wait until the brutal fights would erupt and then call them all and watch their current progress.
"Listen… From now on we will do this…" I started to relay my next orders over to it. It has the ability to control monsters over here and the outer world. So it would do this task of lowering the intensity of the ongoing fights everywhere for me.
"Well, I can do this here easily but about those waiting outside…"
"I'll take you out right now myself," I waved my hand before adding, "but first, you'll have to send these eltes here over to a place…"
I didn't tell much about my dens of warriors except that it was a treasure that'd allow all of the monsters to be on my side all the time.
"Wow! Such a treasure exists? Can I also join them?"
"Silly little Qi! You already are connected to me and can be summoned whenever I want wherever I want," I rolled my eyes before adding, "just let them pass through here and then go into the place of my treasure. It's a wide spacious land covered with a magnificent looking dome."
Chapter 1106 The Modified Rocket Launchers
I indeed wanted to send them to the place of the den of warriors, however I didn't plan to act as their babysitter or guide or something.
"Tell them this and then let's go to the surface," this was the farthest I could do for these monsters. After all, I still had a very important mission to carry out after doing this.
I left for two and half years, and even before leaving the research department already broke through many of the hindrances about turning my human arsenal weapon system into apocalyptic grade weapons.
And now I wanted to go back and see the end results of their hard work myself.
"I just hope they won't be just focused on making new weapons and not mass produce the old human weapons," I muttered while opening a portal and entering the second Earth world.
*Fwoosh!*
Just when I arrived there, the first thing that I saw was a strong gale of refreshing wind. For a reason, the world here changed and looked livelier and more refreshing than before.
The colour of green appeared again all over the place and it seemed to have another change; it wasn't limited to trees this time.
I saw long stretched grassy terrain filling the world around. Instead of the dead looking land all around, the prosperous looking green fields appeared in front of my eyes.
"This… The world indeed does change…" I knew that with the merge of many worlds, this one would show a qualitative leap.
But I didn't get any time to waste on exploring this world for now. I had to hurry back, examine the far important research department achievements before finally sorting out everything and leading all back to Earth.
Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV
And then we'd start the fifth quest and face the disaster of zombies.
"You stay here and organise everything first," I said to little Qi before adding, "I'll leave you in this world for now. To get in, you can use this dome as an entrance. To leave, you can walk through an exit passage."
I didn't intend to bring it with me for now. First I didn't know if it was really strong outside this world or not. And second, the idea of losing my monster control puppet was too heavy for me to accept.
So it was better to not gamble with the little dude's life. I didn't get any replacement for its great role, and it would do a fantastic job in creating formidable monster armies for me.
After saying this, I returned back inside and made sure to install a few portals linking the continent of monsters to the place of my den of warriors.
Like this I ended all the preparations needed to gain warriors. As for my luck, I'd have to wait.
After all, to create a warrior, each single one of these had to wait inside for almost one month. The good news was that I didn't need to be here to pick them up.
They'd just pop up into my inventory as my warriors once it was done. So there was no need for me to worry about this point for now.
"Time to see what you all did…" before I came to meet up with little Qi, I left a simple message for old Gan. I asked him to gather up everyone as a round of inspection was about to commence.
I simply jumped over there, and the scene that welcomed me was something that made my smile appear and slowly it turned into a chorus of laughs.
Depending on capable scientists was the best move I ever did indeed!
What lies before me was a great gathering of tanks, rocket launchers, and even fighters. Things that looked normal in the eyes of any human who lived that era or read about it through historical records like myself would spot the glaring differences almost instantly.
First of all, the ugly brown and green exterior of all the military weapons had changed. That wasn't just by spraying a new colour over them but by laying out a new metallic layer formed of many ores over these.
The outer surface of each weapon wasn't smooth as before. It was filled with many indentations and bulging, taking an irregular form.
Yet with the use of such high calibre ores, the surface of all these weapons started to reflect light and show a myriad of new colours.
The best in my opinion were these metallic black, silver, red, and blue ores which interacted together to form a sort of a sci-fi feeling of contrast.
Such changes weren't just limited to the bodies of these weapons. The inner structure seemed to have fundamental and revolutionary changes as well.
I could see a few weird looking poles and spears coming out from the inside of these weapons. At the same time, the weapons installed over the vehicles showed obvious changes as well.
Let's take these rocket launchers for example.
They used rockets before, long cylindrical rockets with pointed heads carrying warheads was the standard of these.
Usually they had the pale yellow colour as their main, and the bigger and taller they were the stronger they'd become.
The rocket launcher I used before had eight barrels where it'd launch rockets from them in succession. Each barrel was almost half a metre in diameter, ten metre in length, held over the vehicle in an oblique horizontal way.
However the ones I saw right now had huge changes to them.
First the number of barrels grew by a lot. The previously eight barrels arranged into two rows changed into almost fifty. Each barrel got thinner and shorter, as if they didn't need such a huge size to launch the rockets.
They were arranged in five rows, each had ten stacked side by side. There was also enough distance between each barrel, allowing it to change direction separately thanks to a rounded base at each one.
That meant in a fight, each single rocket launcher could target fifty different targets in fifty different directions without the need to make a single move!
Chapter 1107 The Modified Tanks And Fighters!
In addition to that, I saw a shimmering dome surrounding these rocket launchers.
Without the need to ask, these were surely a force field formed by some sort of technology, giving these weapons another card of protection.
Next to each rocket launcher was a small cabin that was placed horizontally on the side of the vehicle.
Each vehicle had two of such cabins, and they extended all the way from the front till the back, going for more than fifteen metres or so.
Ah, I forgot to mention that the overall size of these rocket launchers increased by almost one fold. It wasn't just the sole case of the rocket launchers, but it also happened to the rest of the arsenal.
I saw one cabin open and a few rockets were arranged on the side of each rocket launcher. These weren't anything like the huge and explosive rockets I knew and saw before.
Each rocket was just like a rod, not exceeding ten centimetre in diameter, and almost half a metre in length.
The rockets showed the greatest transformation of all. They seemed to be made from special ores which gave a dangerous purple and black colour at the surface.
They got the same typical shape of the old rockets as the lost human civilization. They had a tapering end, and a base with four extensions like wings.
However there was a form of a ball at the end of each rocket, which gave me the impression it was the core of the revolutionary changes made here.
Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!Smart TV
Putting the rocket launchers aside, tanks showed the second most shocking changes.
Tanks in the past human arsenal of weapons were known as the grim reapers on the ground. A single tank could hold an army of soldiers with light weapons. Alone it could change the course of the entire fight.
Giving any army a group of tanks, tens or even hundreds, was enough to demonstrate the power and mightiness of that side. Plus it'd secure any win for any army provided that there weren't enough missiles to target these.
They were grand beasts made out of cold metal, could gallop earth and crush anything in their path.
Yet the trend in making tanks was to make them have a strong manoeuvre and strong firepower. Also adding high end armour was something necessary as well.
But this wasn't the case here. With the simple use of that shield force, the tanks didn't need any armour like before.
That seemed to inspire my scientists with a brilliant idea to transform the entire shape of these tanks.
First the general shape of these tanks changed from being rectangular into oval. The standard one cannon installed over the front changed, and the tanks down below had four cannons aiming at a different direction.
Each cannon was installed over a circular base, allowing it to move around freely. In addition to that, there was a central circular platform where two long cannons were installed upon it.
These seemed to target the aerial monsters and enemies. Like this, these tanks couldn't be said to be just a weapon of land, but also a versatile weapon that could entangle in ground and aerial warfare.
The standard way of moving the tanks didn't change much. In addition to that, the change in the shape and the lack of armour made it possible to clear the upper part of the tanks, and make them look more like boats!
They change from just being a mere weapon of kill into a tool of transferring almost one hundred soldiers inside. There were all different kinds of weapons installed there for these soldiers to use, starting from modified machine guns up to rocket launchers and small cannons.
The tanks gave me the impression of being similar to my chariot. They even had two levels, while they only lacked the ability to fly.
Putting tanks aside, the next thing that attracted my attention were the fighters.
Fighting planes were something deemed to be the deadliest in ancient human warfare. From the look of it, that lunatic who had the stealth bombers didn't drop his dream of modifying these planes.
And when I saw them, I couldn't help but admire his will and determination. Of course he succeeded, and the new fighters standing in huge lines showed great changes that made me interested in having more of them.
The old-fashioned fighters were used to mimicking birds. That was the general concept humans adopted before. And they got all the reasons for doing that.
After all, aside from birds, there wasn't any other source of inspiration for humans.
However it seemed after interacting with different races in the research department, my humans started to gain a better view over this matter.
Planes that looked like birds changed and looked more like UFOs right now. They were all circular, with two protruding wings and a pointed frog that still referred to where they started from.
Just like tanks and rocket launchers, these fighters gave a modern and advanced impression like they came from the future.
They also grew in size, with the smallest ones being at least tenfold in size as the original fighter. Even when parked, they hovered off ground for ten metres or so, meaning their engines worked in different ways than what humans usually used.
"Are these anti-gravity engines or what?" I looked closer and saw a few bellows of air pushed from their bottom at specific parts. It seemed like air getting boiled over the surface of a wildfire, arching and twisting while rising up in an unnatural manner.
But these air currents were moving downwards before hitting the ground and renouncing to the side.
Apart from the outer metallic and cool looking surface that was covered in different alloys and colours, the fighters had many cannons and machine guns with barrels appearing from almost everywhere at the bottom.
There were a group of rockets that were much smaller and deadlier than the ones used in rocket launchers. I could even see air emitted from these rockets as if they were on the verge of exploding at any given second.
Chapter 1108 The Portable Suit
The entire body was covered so I couldn't see what was inside, however I was sure the smallest one could accommodate even a hundred soldiers.
As for the biggest ones, they looked more like motherships in my eyes, with the ability to host thousands inside.
The upper surface of each fighter had many barrels that could launch many attacks everywhere. Also there were few bigger barrels which resembled those installed on rocket launchers.
"Lord, you are finally here," old Gan led everyone while wearing bright smiles. Well, of course they did a great job here and all had the privilege of showing off and being happy.
"You did great," I said while moving my eyes back to the two representatives of the army companies.
They simply smiled and said nothing. It seemed during these past years, their temperament changed and they stopped their argument.
"I'm flattered," old Gan laughed, "on behalf of the research department, I'm expressing our gratitude for lord's support. And we hope you are satisfied with our new creations."
They indeed changed. It seemed they selected old Gan to be the speakerman for them. Well, at least that saved me the headache of dealing with many at the same time.
"I've checked part of your new toys," I said while moving my eyes around, "these fighters are really a nice addition."
"Hahahaha, lord is really kind," even when I moved my eyes around, no one spoke but old Gan, "we developed these based on the initial designs provided by your race and different blueprints from different races. As lord can see, each single fighter can now perform as a single task force, capable of engaging in many battles…"
Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV
He started to explain the additions and changes of these fighters. As I expected, the interior was designed to act as a mobile war battalion, enabling many forces to be boarded and work together with the ground units to perform better results.
The weapon system of these fighters depended on the new novel technology invented here. They transformed the monster cores and high energy grade ores to be the source of power, enabling such behemoths to wield a deadly fire power.
According to his words and detailed explanation, the warheads of the rockets were changed and had a use of a novel technology that depended over using explosive ores and materials harvested from my worlds here.
They worked over stimulating the explosive nature of each ore and high grade material, using the force of impact or remote control detonation to create a scary explosion.
Just from his words I could see these long lost and forsaken weapons of war of my ancient human civilisation kicking again over the apocalypse level and creating enough havoc to be feared.
That was great! That was awesome! That was exactly what I dreamt about when I first started this project.
After such a long time, I could finally reap the fruits of my planning and preparations. They didn't let me down, and I hoped they'd continue to work as such later on.
"As for the other project I had," after explaining the different values and changes over the human arsenal weaponry systems, old Gan then shifted the topic towards the most important project; the Hescos suits!
These suits were indeed a headache for me and my forces. If I was around, I could simply toy with them. But with the presence of twenty-two worlds I had to invade, it wasn't logical nor practical to depend just on me and my high end warriors and fighters.
Even if they made such great progress in transforming human weaponry into something that could play a role in the apocalypse, it wasn't enough.
Our enemy would be the terrifying Hescos. And without the presence of some sort of tech that aimed specifically at their suits, all this wouldn't be of much help.
Against other races and monsters, I was sure these weapons could perform great. After all, from the sheer number on the ground, I could say they had the ability to arm up to five armies of mine.
But this wasn't enough! I needed more! And I knew where the main problem lay.
They lacked initial weapons to modify! So even if they had to reconstruct them from scratch, it'd take much longer than modifying an existing tank or fighter.
Also old Gan spoke about modifying a few ships brought over by the two army companies. But the scope wasn't enough to even form a small army with them.
I knew where the crux of this problem lay, and decided to start expanding the scope of my activity on Earth.
It was time to go for an old and forsaken human arsenal weapons hunting quest.
But first I wanted to hear all about his own research. After all, old Gan was the one who was responsible for dealing with such a problem.
"From the look on your face and that bright smile, you shall have great news to share," I said before laughing, "come on, stop acting mysterious and spill all the beans."
"As lord guessed, we already broke through many of the suit's functions and abilities," old Gan paused before suddenly taking a small ball out. It was big enough to be held by his fist.
It was a metallic purple black ball, with few lines engraved over its surface. These lines kept emitting yellow light as if there was something beating deep inside.
"Let me introduce to the lord this new invention of ours… We call it, the portable suit," and as he said it, he tightly squeezed the ball before magic happened.
This small ball suddenly turned into some sort of liquid that spanned fast and covered up his body in mere seconds. At one moment he stood in front of me with his armour and clothes, and the next he was totally covered with black and purple metallic suit, with a central energy source that appeared on his chest and back.
This energy source gave me the same impression about the core energy in my Bulltors. Just from one look, I could feel danger coming from this suit.
Chapter 1109 I Got A Suit!
"What does this suit do?" I couldn't hold back my curiosity and asked, "is this like the Hescos suit?"
"No, its main function is to negate the effects of the Hescos naturally born suits," he said while his voice seemed to be transported by some sort of a microphone or something, "beside that, it augments one's strength, speed, defence, and agility. It's like giving someone a boost in everything. Not to mention each one can be equipped with all sorts of weapons."
He suddenly took a few rods out. Each rod was like a finger in size. They all had the same black purple outer appearance, with few yellow lines all over them.
Once he took them out, he simply threw them over the suit and then they changed the same way the ball did. Different weapons appeared next, including and not limited to small rocket launchers, laser cannons, different guns, and even grenade launchers.
Looking at all this, I finally gained the general idea of the research department.
It was said that scientists' main hurdle was to find the path of their work and the theory which they'd work upon.
It seemed my research department took inspiration from me, and selected the path of turning each single fighting unit into a formidable powerhouse as their main path of development.
Be it old human arsenal weapons, new generations of invented weapons, or these suits… All aimed towards turning a single unit into a single force that could fend off against armies.
And to be honest, I loved such an approach! Especially when they got this out of me.
"And this one's for you, lord," while I was happily thinking about the great merits the old Gan provided by these suits, he took out a golden black suit and handed it in a careful way towards me.

I held the suit and felt its smooth outer surface. Even if it gave me the feeling of being made out of special ore as the main alloy, it also worked as any normal fabric would do.
"Is it special?" I asked in doubt and old Gan mysteriously smiled. He took out two boxes and handed them over to me as he said:
"These are the supplementary weaponry systems we developed so far. They are all top notch, just like this suit."
"Thanks," I didn't think that much of this suit and stored it alongside the two boxes inside my inventory. Although I was curious to test it, it wasn't the right time to do so.
"You did all great, but without producing enough, these won't be that helpful," I moved my eyes around everyone, and they had a moment of struggle and hesitation on their faces.
"We already are aware of this, lord, however… Our current numbers can't help but produce limited numbers. We can build many assembly lines as factories, but we lack the manpower and the space required for so."
"Are you joking?" I couldn't help but shake my head. What do these people think? These were even considered problems?
After contacting Angelica first, I turned to them and said:
"I'll assign ten grand continents for all of you to make these factories and assembly lines. As for the manpower, tens of millions, hundreds of millions… Whatever you need will be provided at the spot."
Were they joking? Their department held the highest importance in my entire kingdom. What would I be if I didn't support them with such trivial matters?
"Also I'll make sure the supply lines of ores and different materials will be steady and overwhelming. The problem is…" I couldn't help but move my eyes around the human old arsenal weapon systems that got modified, "we need much more of these. Any solutions?"
"Lord, don't need to worry," just when I was prepared to listen to many complaints and doubts, old Gan broke into a wide smile as he confidently added, "part of these assembly lines will be directed at building the main frame of this old human tech. We got many researchers who specialised in making these toys, so lord doesn't need to worry."
"Oh," my eyes gleamed when I recalled this. The two arm companies who joined me didn't come empty handed and brought with them thousands of their top researchers.
I never imagined for them to reverse engineer the blueprints of these human old weapons. If that was true, then I didn't have to worry about anything at all!
"Alright, I'll start deploying transport portals here, linking this place with the other continents I promised. I'll also try to add more in the mix so you'll have more room to grow… Is there anything else for you to show me?"
Up till now I was already satisfied with what they all did. Even if these weapons weren't yet mass produced, this wouldn't be a problem in the long run.
After all, I needed first to handle the troublesome fifth quest. Once things stabilised at my end, I'd start focusing on invading other worlds.
The time of my invasion should be planned right. So going too early or too soon wouldn't be beneficial to me. I had to arrive when the crux of this disaster would be wreaking havoc all over these worlds.
And if I managed to find a way to control these zombies then things would be much better for my side.
One day on Earth would be equal to twenty on my second Earth, equal to sixty up to eighty days here. That meant by staying in the fifth quest for ten days, enough time would pass for these factories and assembly lines to run and stack a huge amount of weapons for me.
This was the true beauty of having such amazing time manipulation ability without doubt.
"We have created different version based on the tech we salvaged,
" The face of old Gan beamed with excitement before he waved his hands and the next moment lots of things appeared all around.
One word would best describe these weapons… They looked like they came all out from futuristic machine based civilization from the universe!
Chapter 1110 New Weapons Look Cool!
"Don't tell me you focused more on producing machines with shocking appearance!" I rolled my eyes and he laughed.
"It just looks amazing having such cool toys moving around, right? Let me introduce you to our latest tech… The only regret is that we didn't have time or manpower to mass produce these…"
"I told you already, your problems are all solved! Why caring to mention these again to me?" I gave him a warning glance, and she had to stop his bullshit from now on.
Problems would be stated for me to solve, and once solved there was no need to keep mentioning them. Or else, I'd be annoyed.
"Hehehe, I was just joking," this old Gan seemed to have many problems in his personality or what? However I waited on the side while he started to move around the weapons he brought over.
If one had to describe them all in one word then it would be: Huge!
The smallest one was at least fifty metre in length and thirty in width. Not to mention their outer appearance had many protruding barrels and different weapons, adding more size to them.
"This is the first baby I want to introduce," he stood in front of what could be called a modified tank version. Yet this one didn't steer on steel rails and only floated off the ground using some sort of expulsion engines.
"This can be deployed on any battlefield with one special effect… To negate the suits of Hesos and deprive them from all the mighty defensive functions they got."
"Just like the suits? But much bigger and harder to move around?" I raised one eyebrow as the main disadvantage of this weapon was clear in my eyes.

"Not like the suits, as the suits would only negate the effects of a single target. But this…" he patted on the body of this weapon as if he was patting his child, "it can disarm the Hescos in an area of a mile radius."
"Mile… That's interesting…" Thinking about this made me see the future potential of this weapon.
"We still are working on the initial versions," old Gan sighed, "the future versions will have a much larger scoop. But deploying a hundred one of these in a single battlefield will ensure the Hescos to lose their advantage in one hundred mile radius."
"Provided that they didn't get damaged," I still had the issue of them being too big and slow to move to highlight.
"That's why we have the other baby here to help," he moved around and there was a group of cylindrical rods flying ten metres off the ground at least.
Each one was like a pillar, extending for another ten metres before ending up in fan shaped ending.
"This is used to activate a defensive shield," old Gan pointed at the one group of ten rods before adding, "we used the same technique used in the suits to provide these with enough defensive power. So if Hescos can't fight against each other thanks to the difficulty in penetrating their defences even with their own weapons, we can depend on this baby to ensure the safety of the disturbing weapons."
"That… But being passive isn't going to bring much security, right?"
"That's why the third and fourth babies are here for," he motioned his head towards two different weapons.
One was a huge circular disc with many oval shaped lights arranged neatly around. The centre of this was a net made out of a thin fibre.
It didn't give me much of an impression, but the other one did. It was like a gigantic cannon, one that would only appear in the minds of lunatics.
It got wheels, even propulsive engines all over its irregular base. The cannon was at least one hundred metres in length, and it gave a frightening feeling when thinking about firing it.
"This one is called the freezing weapon. Upon activating it, anything flying at a distance of five hundred metres length and half a mile radius would be frozen in place like time itself stopped."
Old Gan then pointed towards the cannon before adding, "then this beauty can launch a wide attack, a missile that can expand and cover up almost the same area affected by the freezing weapon."
"Oh… You seem to love weapons complementing each other," a flash of realisation hit me when I noticed the different styles of weapons he introduced.
And as if he wasn't embarrassed or surprised by my revelation, he simply laughed while saying:
"Only when weapons work in harmony will they show off their real beauty."
"I get it… So the two can cover up the sky and they are very handful in dealing with the annoying aerial monsters… Even installing these on the top of the floating forts will be a killer. But how about the ground attacks? How do you plan to deal with these?"
"It's simple," unlike what I expected, old Gan seemed to be prepared for everything, "not only ground, but also aquatic attacks… I have these test types as my first models… You can check them then."
Just as he said it, he waved his hand and a large group of mechanical monsters appeared.
They were huge, but not to the degree of those monsters bred by my little Qi. yet each and every single one of them gave a strong and dangerous vibe from their metallic bodies.
Giant monsters with different shapes appeared. Some were suitable to operate in waters, others could work on ground perfectly fine. There were even a few who had wings.
Just with a glance I could feel a weird familiarity from these.
"Aren't these… Monsters that are living here in the world?"
"Lord has keen eyes and good memory," he praised and I didn't give a damn about his words. With my serious gaze he added, "the process of making these requires the sacrifice of many monsters by using some sort of an array. In fact… Ahem, I had to take inspiration from the huge array that lord used to grant others super powers."
