Chapter 132 - 1724-1739

Chapter 1724 A Grave Misunderstanding!

We don't have time for that! The weapon will launch in five minutes at most, if not earlier than that. We need to run and evade the fire, not care about anything else, got it?]

[That will be…]

[Tough, I know, but we need to do it]

Hye knew it was hard to do that, but she had to pull everything she got to survive. Or else, she'd be strangled here, all alone.

Her value wasn't just limited to her impact right now. He planned to recruit her and make her his eyes and ears in the underground world, planning to make her as his envoy there.

He waited, and during his wait, he had to keep moving around, evading any incoming attacks and ships. He kept firing back, trying to clear the entire area around him from any enemy.

In less than two minutes, he spotted a spaceship coming like a bullet toward him. It kept evading the enemies around, not firing back. When he spotted it, his eyes shone with excitement.

"Let me lend you a hand then…" Hye looked at the incoming ship, looking like a little bird trying to find a way out from a deadly and ferocious storm.

He started to move towards it, opening fire from a far distance away toward the hostile ships surrounding it. [Hang tight there, I'm coming to reduce the pressure over you. Once you spotted a window, move through and I'll follow] he sent in the chat to her, while firing without aim, firing at anything in a wide range.

He knew he might hit her ship by accident, yet he didn't believe the fire rain he unleashed would reach the enemies at the front.

[What the hell are you talking about?!!] and just as when he got closer, he started to lock on the enemies, trying to clear a path for her ship to pass through.

[Wow! Forget about that, how come you are this good at flying that ship? Damn girl, never knew you were this great!]

[I'm asking you again, what the hell are you talking about?!!"

[About your flight with that ship, damn! What a crazy move you pulled out there!]

In front of Hye, that ship was making very dangerous turns at random times. Hye was already pulling such moves, but he needed to pause from time to time to rest. Unlike him, he spotted the nymph lady's ship moving in such a crazy way without a single moment of pause, as if she was the most experienced spaceship pilot out there!

[Dammit Hye! It's not me!] All of a sudden he read her message and couldn't help but momentarily freeze. He looked at the ship, and when he focused more, he could see the signal of the orange sun on its back.

"F*ck me! It's that pirate… Don't tell me it's him!!!" the moment he realised which side this ship belonged to, he guessed the identity of the one steering it. And in the next moment, he stopped all the fire, turned around sharply, and made a run towards that portal.

[It's that damn pirate king! Hurry your fat ass here right away, or else I'm leaving you behind!] he sent this message while fuming with rage. In the middle of his worry to see her here, he took that ship for granted to be hers.

If he knew it belonged to that pirate king, he'd have better destroyed it, and never moved to help him in any given way.

But it was too late to think about something like that. Hye moved his ship fast while asking the nymph lady about how long she'd need to come here.

[Two minutes, at most!]

[Girl! Are you playing with me here?] he couldn't believe what she sent, [three minutes ago you said you need two! And now you are asking for two?!!]

[I now know why you aren't that popular with girls, tsk! You need to learn how to be patient when speaking with a girl…]

[No time for that bullshit! Move your ass in one minute or I'm leaving!] He knew that the pirate king wouldn't come here alone. And just from the skills he showed in steering his spaceship, Hye knew he couldn't hold a candle to him, nor his elite fighters when they'd arrived here.

The moment the space pirate king spotted Hye's ship, he instantly recognised it. He saw it before when he came harassing his fleet, using the hands of the world's forces to take lots of his ships down.

"It's you, bastard…" The pirate king was enraged the moment he recognised Hye. He also spotted a ship running away from the place of the tycoons. And yet he was too busy to worry about his fleet, about his safety, rather than to link the dots back then.

Seeing Hye's ship in front of him made him feel lots of mixed emotions. He was angry, and he was intimidated as well. He saw what Hye did singlehanded with fleets of two mighty forces. And there was something that Hye wasn't aware of.

The space pirate king moved all the way here alone. On top of that, he knew about one more terrible news waiting for him after crossing that portal.

Yet while he got distracted by seeing Hye, he spotted the latter move his ship quite fast, opening fire blindly, trying to help him escape.

"What does he want?!" The pirate king went sceptical about this and didn't know how he would react to Hyde's gesture. And when Hye persisted and cleared many ships for him, he was sure now that Hye was trying to help him to escape.

When Hye stopped attacking, turned around, and made a quick escape from this place, the pirate king mistook his intentions. "Is he trying to invite me to join him?" he went hesitant for a few seconds, before deciding to follow through.

"Screw it! I've lost too much anyway, what else can happen?" he muttered to himself while thinking about the bitter reality waiting for him on the other side of that portal.

Chapter 1725 A Very Weird Situation

As he chased after Hye, the latter noticed that at once. "Damn! Are you trying to drag me down with you? Go the hell out of my way! Stop following me!!" he shouted, but no matter how he yelled, the sound couldn't survive in space anyway.

And he had no way to contact that pirate king, or else he'd have spammed him with tons of cruel insults and threats.

Two fast spaceships moved in the same direction, one after another as if they were mirroring each other. That attracted more fire and heat toward the two, and yet they were able to evade any incoming attack using their flying skills.

"He is good," the pirate king took this note to his heart, being more wary of Hye. Yet he never stopped chasing him, even when he noticed that Hye was flying in circles.

"Is he trying to waste time?" the pirate king thought about the reasons that would let Hye do such a move. If it was him, he'd just go straight forward towards the portal, leaving this battle and everyone behind.

"Waiting for someone? Or trying to lure more fleets here to get me killed?" he kept thinking about this deeper, yet the second possibility looked a bit weird and illogical. If Hye wanted him dead, then why did he help him in the first place?

So the pirate king was sure Hye was waiting for someone. And he grew curious about who that person was, the person who made him risk everything to wait for his arrival.

The wait didn't last much longer than three more minutes. As Hye expected, the nymph lady took much longer than she promised before.

[Sorry I'm late…]

[I will kill you, come on, let's leave this place…] Hye paused, looked towards the ship that kept tailing him in the past few minutes, [Get ready, it seems a big party is awaiting us back there]

[Then… Shall we proceed?]

[We have to] he knew she meant good, fearing that by going there they'd jump off the frying pan directly into the fire, [Anyway, I'm ready to deploy the entire fleet. Let's hope we have enough time to do it!]

[What if…]

[I hate what if… Let's just go there and we'll deal with whatever out there] Hye closed the chat, and took a last look at the dark ship of the pirate king before he started to direct his ship to fly straight towards the portal.

Seeing the ship Hye was waiting for arrived, the pirate king knew they were going to leave. He also took a long gaze towards this part of space, looked at all the ships that belonged to him and were fighting desperately for their lives, "see you later, in the afterlife," he bitterly muttered before moving after Hye, heading directly towards the portal.

The three of them moved quite fast, passed through lots of fire, and evaded tons of ships that tried to intercept their path. The nymph lady was the poorest out of the three in terms of flying her ship. And yet with the lead of Hye, a path was always opened and free of any enemy, and she was able to keep up.

*Fwoosh!*

Then the three passed through the portal and crossed to the other side. The moment they arrived there, the pirate king took something out, and without a single speck of hesitation, he closed that portal permanently.

At the same time, Hye and the nymph lady were in front of the most shocking situation, one that they both never imagined. Even the thought about it didn't even cross their minds at all.

[What the hell is going on here?!! Where is everyone?!!!]

Just as the situation around them was, the nymph lady sent this message over to Hye. The latter was feeling the same sort of shock as her, unable to fathom what was going on here.

They thought they'd appear in the middle of endless swarms of pirate fleets, or perhaps a world that was like a pirate base or something.

Instead, they appeared in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of space, and they were all alone!

There wasn't even a single ship aside from the three of them!

"Don't tell me…" A crazy thought flashed in Hye's mind, and he instantly started to grasp everything that happened. It seemed like this pirate king used and deployed all the forces he had under his control to maximise his gains from that war.

Who'd have known that things would turn south in such a way, ending up with him to throw away all the ships he had, running away empty-handed, alone and weak like this.

[Do you have any idea what's going on here?] The nymph lady didn't even think about such a crazy and unexpected coincidence that led to such a weird situation.

[Just wait here, I'll go and have a word with that pirate] Hye changed the way he addressed that pirate king to simply a pirate. He just adjusted his stand in the universe as he was sure this outlaw just lost everything and had to restart over from the rock bottom.

[What do you mean…]

[Just remain here, I'll explain everything later on] Hye controlled his ship and approached the pirate king's ship.

The two stopped in front of each other, just hundreds of metres apart. They didn't move, didn't do anything, and didn't have any means to speak with each other.

"Come here," Hye suddenly opened the hatches of his ship and didn't do anything else. He knew his words weren't going to be heard by that pirate, and yet he knew his actions would be grasped and understood by that outlaw.

"As you invited me, I'll answer the call," the pirate king looked at his loyal and most capable followers, "stay here, don't do anything no matter what."

"But Stephen…"

"Just do it!" The pirate king called Stephen knew if he wanted to fight Hye and take him down, he'd be able to do it. But he also knew this would take a long time as Hye showed a remarkable ability before in steering the spaceship.

Chapter 1726 I Want To Establish An Outlaw Organisation!

Not to mention he got someone on his side, another ship, with a mysterious person flying it. The pirate king didn't know what abilities this person had, and yet that wasn't the main source of fear he got towards Hye.

The weird method Hye showed before to take down tons of ships made him quite vigilant and wary of him. At the same time, trying to run away wasn't an option either. He knew his ship was fast, but it was half a beat slower than Hye. and if the latter had any big spaceship, then it'd be game over for him.

Right now his best move was to gamble that Hye didn't want to see him dead and agree to let him go away. But he never expected that Hye's appetite was much grander than what he initially thought.

Hye watched the pirate king fly into his ship. As the man entered the main deck, William sat on his seat, looking directly at the pirate king without saying anything.

The pirate king came from a giant race, one that got weird two curved spikes coming out from his shoulders. He had a rough looking face, even without having a scar it gave anyone looking at it a terrible feeling.

The moment Hye landed his eyes over him and he got one single feeling, Strong!

"So… You are the man who saved me? Thanks to that,the pirate king stood in his place for a few minutes until he decided to speak up and break the awkward silence, "tell me, what can I do to reward you?"

"Reward me?" Hye looked up and down at the giant in front of him. Even if he was a giant, Hye wasn't as small as humans. He just kept his form in such a state to make it easier to walk around his kingdom, "do you think you are in a position to let you negotiate about what to give me and what's not?"

"You…" the pirate king sized Hye up and down as well. He felt this person wasn't strong, but he still got a bad feeling about going against him.

He saw the Soulers, and that was proof of how strong and crazy Hye was.

"Don't be startled like you didn't know beforehand about that," Hye shrugged, "you are the one who ditched your fleet behind. As for me, I collected them."

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just stating facts," Hye didn't comment on the words of that pirate king, "I'm here to see what you can give me in return for keeping you alive."

"Do you think it's easy to kill me?" the pirate king knew he was losing his negotiating advantage pretty damn fast, "I'm not that weak!"

"But you'll fall in the end," Hye stated as if it was written in stone, "I fought many more formidable opponents than myself and triumphed over all. Don't take my appearance and strength as a scale for the danger you are in. with a snap of my fingers like this…"

*Snap!* the moment Hye did that, and the entire spaceship got filled to the brim with Soulers. There weren't too many of them, compared to the number that the pirate king saw, but they were enough to kill him if they wanted to, if Hye wanted to.

"Soulers? So you are using them…"

"You are here to prove your worth to me," Hye looked up and down over the pirate king, "so, what can you offer?"

"I'm not here to work for you as a servant… Damn! That hurts! Stop it!"

The moment he was about to rudely respond to Hye, a few Soulers flashed and passed through his body. Hye expected such a giant and fierce outlaw to be strong, and wouldn't fall by just dozens of Soulers passing through him.

"I want to hear one answer," Hye coldly snorted, "either you follow me, sign a contract, and join my human kingdom, or you'll fall here and end your journey and adventure."

"Human kingdom… Human kingdom… I heard that before…" Unlike what Hye expected, that pirate king seemed pretty interested in his human kingdom rather than deciding his fate, "wait a sec… You… You are that human… Hye? Yes, it was called Hye!"

"It's indeed me," Hye grinned, "and now, what do you say?"

"Wait, just tell me what do you want me to do before deciding…" the pirate king bellowed back, but the next instant few Soulers flashed through him again, invoking another series of cries from him.

"I'm just asking to get to know my future…" the man said in a much weaker tone, seemingly getting feeble than before.

"I want you to work with my friend," Hye turned his eyes towards outside, and the pirate king realised what he was referring to, "I want you both to build up a new outlaw organisation, one that'll aim to be the biggest one in the entire universe."

"This…" the pirate king had to admit to himself that he greatly underestimated Hye. he thought he'd get out from this using the few riches that he had. But in the end, he got to sell his life to this human.

That wasn't the only thing that made him shocked, Hye's ambition was. The latter seemed to set his gaze over the rich and cruel underground world of this universe. And he didn't just want to start something small, he wanted to rule the entire outlaw world, becoming the biggest behemoth there.

"It's not something new that outlaw forces are backed up by great empires and races," the pirate king slowly said, "but… Doing so will take tons of effort, wealth, connections, and time…"

"I'll grant you a fierce army of Soulers," Hye waved his hands, taking out tokens and letting them fill the ground of the spaceship.

The moment the pirate king saw them, he got totally scared, even tried to retreat, ending up hitting a few Soulers and suffering more damage.

"Wait, I don't want these cursed beings…"

Chapter 1727 The Underground World

"Scared to get killed by them? Or fearing you won't satisfy their needs?" Hye laughed, as he knew his Soulers couldn't be easily controlled or kept by anyone except him, "don't fret. I'll send them with you, and I'll keep the tokens myself," he activated his turbo collection ability, sucking all the tokens back.

"That ability… You got that…"

"Anyway," Hye did that to just shock the man further, and add more mysteriousness around himself, "what's your decision then?"

"What else can I say?" the pirate king looked around, seemingly blaming his bad luck today. He came here and dreamt about getting more wealth and riches, yet he ended up losing his entire fleet, and now his freedom, "let's sign the contract. But I have one condition…"

"Which is?"

"I want to be known as the absolute ruler of that force… I don't mean to shadow you or something…"

"That's for the best," Hye nodded in agreement, "it's better to keep our relationship secret from anyone."

What he wanted to do aligned with what Hye had in mind. He didn't want anyone to know about his association with such an underground force.

"Great," the pirate king signed the contract by the title, not the name, "I love to be known by the Orange Sun Pirate King!"

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

"It's a very long name, boring," Hye rolled his eyes, "it's better to be known as the pirate."

"That's not a name!"

"Neither the one you provided!"

The two kept going back and forth until they agreed to call the man the pirate king only.

"Now, let me hear your thoughts about how to start," as everything played out the way he wanted, Hye invited the nymph lady here before asking the pirate king about his thoughts.

"What do you know about the underground world?" The pirate king didn't know where he should start, so he asked the most basic question.

"Nothing, start from the low bottom," Hye shrugged, as he knew literally nothing about this world.

"Fine… I expected so…" the pirate king then started to speak about the underground world, starting from its history, when did it start, who helped in evolving it, and what were the main changing points in its history.

Hye was surprised to learn that this underground world started first as a move to counter the expected invasion by the other universe. The universe leaders, who were known to Hye as the system's higher-ups, were worried when the first clash happened and they expected total invasion and defeat.

So they started first to care about building up a resisting force, one that could handle the resistance of the invaders and make their lives here hellish. They were the ones who established the underground world, and that was why they were still backed up by the system and supported it.

Their interface was different, as they got tons of missions to do. This was quite unexpected to Hye. He never thought the tasks done by the outlaws came originally from the system itself! It was like one burning his own house with his own hands, before struggling to put the fire down and repair the damage.

Yet he had no say in that. According to the pirate king, the underground world would sustain the system's support as long as the invasion of the outer universe remained a threat. And after such a long time, such a threat still continued and existed, and would continue to be present for unknown long centuries and millennia to come.

Aside from tasks and missions, and rewards granted from the system to them, there was ranking to the outlaws, their own marketplace, and even their own connection with each other.

It seemed like they got another version of the system, one that was established separately from the main system, acting as a backup version or something.

Hye got why the system higher-ups did it back then. And yet he couldn't get why they still allowed this to continue.

"Don't tell me they want them to act like a threat reminder for all the forces in the universe… To keep them trained on dealing with threats and dangers…" he muttered to himself, while the pirate king started to speak more about the current situation of the underground world.

No one knew when it started, but the big forces in the universe started to show interest in the various outlaw forces, nourishing and supporting the big ones, and making them act like their arms in that world.

They didn't just use them to reap more benefits from the rich outlaw side of the universe but also to hit their enemies without getting themselves into diplomatic issues and complications.

Even if a truce was reached, the two sides would still keep fighting using their outlaw organisations. According to the pirate king, there were few well-known names in the underground world who belonged to these big races and empires in the universe. They were known to everyone as the Ten Hell Lords, and he was far from being close to any of them.

To start there, one had to have lots of support, spend tons of resources, and deal with his followers as he was dealing with mercenaries. They would serve him as long as the promised pay was kept and would turn their blades at his back if they got a better offer or didn't get paid in time.

Things were very cruel out there and with the absence of all laws except for the law of the jungle and profit. It was a very disorganised, messy world, one that Hye knew it was best to leave to the experts and keep himself away from.

"... The currency used isn't the system or universal coins. We deal with profits, and no one will say no to anything that will make him stronger, or make him wealthy to purchase things to make him stronger. In other words…"

"The crystals are the mainstream currency out there, right?" Hye realised this was going according to logic. These folks were just mercenaries, and they adored strength to the depths of their hearts and bones.

So using crystals was expected, and the pirate king nodded.

Chapter 1728 Where Are We?

"Not only that, but for those outstanding talents, we need extra," he paused before adding, "I heard you have bones, a special type of product that was never seen or heard before in the universe. This is going like hot cake in the Ten Hell Lords upper circle, only accepting payment using these…"

"Are you telling me my bones can be used to pay others?!!" Hye didn't expect this. He was running low on crystals, and wouldn't have the ability to supply them to the mercenaries. He'd better use these over his forces and warriors, not over mercenaries.

But when he heard about his bones, his eyes shone brightly.

"I heard you have different grades of bones. The lowest grade can be used as a monthly payment for mid-tier mercenaries, and the higher grade ones can be used as annual payment for high-tier ones…"

"This…" Hye paused for a second, before asking, "if we used one low grade bone as an annual payment to all mercenaries, what do you expect things to turn out?"

"This… Are you sure of this?!!!" the pirate king got shaken. He tried, and failed to even acquire a single bone before. Even when he asked for the task rewards given to him by other big names in the business to be in the form of bones, he got ignored right on the spot.

"Why should I be joking about this?" Hye grinned evilly, knowing from the shocking response on the pirate king's face that he hit the jackpot this time, "so it's going to help you recruit more mercenaries, right?"

"If you can supply enough, I'm sure we'll create a big fuss over there…" he paused, before adding, "but we need other things to discuss. We need a base, somewhere that's not easily accessible to anyone. We need it to be discrete and secretive, with access to portals so we can go to any place in the universe quite fast."

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

"Don't you have a base already?"

"Nah, I was too low to have such a thing," the pirate king bitterly smiled, "besides, we'll need tons of ships and other war supplies for our armies. If we are going to do it big, we need to do it right."

"Hmm… How can we get these ships then?" Hye didn't think about the base problem. He already had a few solutions in mind. But for the ship's problem, he had zero options here.

"How else? We looted them, hahahaha!" Yet the answer he got was something he never expected, making him speechless for a few seconds. And his facial reaction made the pirate king laugh at him.

"That will take like forever," Hye couldn't believe this was the only method in front of the outlaws like the pirate king. And yet when he thought about the last war he just escaped from, he felt this made perfect sense.

If they stayed there for a bit longer, and if things didn't head in the wrong direction back then, then they'd have gained tons of ships over what they already had.

"How many ships did you loot from there? I know you got a lot of them," the pirate king said in envy and greed, and yet Hye didn't feel like giving him an answer.

"Tell me how many you have in your inventory," he flipped the tables over, "don't forget, you work for me and have to listen to everything I say per the contract power."

"Tsk… How annoying…" the pirate king recalled the bitter truth that he missed, "fine, I got one hundred thousand small ships, but only five big ones…" he looked pathetic when he said these words, making Hye and the nymph lady both shocked.

"Why are you looking at me like this? It's not like this was my first raid, right?" he shook his head before adding, "yet without a crew, this is nothing! I got these ships for a long time already, almost about to have rust all over their hauls…"

"Don't worry about that," the nymph lady was excited as she turned to Hye, "our boss here is going to give us everything!"

"That reminds me…" Hye turned to the nymph lady, Emily smiled in a way that gave her a creepy feeling, "here is a contract for you, sign or leave!"

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "..." she didn't have anything to say but to sign the contract. Before this, she was his business partner, but now she was his accomplice.

"Great," Hye laughed, before looking around, "where are we by the way? Are we near that war? Are we far?"

"We are safe as we are very, very far from there," the pirate king then said something about the sector they were currently in. As Hye didn't know what he meant, he turned to the nymph lady, and she seemed a bit surprised about something.

"We are close to the outer edge of the universe…" When she said her piece, Hye's eyes shone brightly.

"Are you telling me…"

"We aren't that far from that place… But…" she looked a bit hesitant, and the pirate king felt like he was missing something here.

"Hello, can any of you explain what the hell you are talking about?" he asked, but the two didn't respond to him.

"There must be a map installed in the ship," the nymph lady was more experienced in this from Hye, so he let her try but the pirate king suddenly interrupted her.

"You are messing things up here, let me get it for you… But…" he turned around before adding, "you have to thoroughly explain everything to me, ok?"

"Let's just check our current location on the map," the nymph lady was more excited than Hye about this, "then we'll tell you everything."

He was part of the little gang now, and it was expected for them to tell him about what was going on. As they checked the map that the pirate king brought from the spaceship, the nymph lady started to run a few calls to her old superiors.

Chapter 1729 Time To Finalise All Deals

"We aren't that far from that place," she finally said after an hour of communicating with others. During this, Hye briefly explained to the pirate king about all this, "We are good!"

"And the deal? The shield formation?" This was something that truly concerned Hye. Without that, he'd not dare to go there and establish a base at these mines.

There were tons of dangers out there, in the entire border region of the universe. So it was better to care about security first, before doing anything else.

"They'll ship it soon," she paused, before adding, "and the mines… Do you want these or not?"

"Of course I want them," Hye nodded, "don't tell me they aren't available!"

"Who is crazy enough to buy something hot like this except you?" The pirate king was still shocked about what he heard from Hye.

Trying to buy a group of mines located at the edge of the universe? This was insane!

"Are you telling me their prices are low?" That comment attracted Hye's attention to this point. And for a second there, the nymph lady's face dropped, becoming a bit pale.

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

"Sure, who is going to compete with you for such a thing? No way! You are going to be one of those few crazy folks who ever owned a piece here!"

"I got a shield…"

"That's not enough!" the pirate king waved his hand, as if what Hye was saying was bullshit, "we aren't speaking about forces from this universe, but forces from that big behemoth! We can stop using this formation, but how about others? Can you stop them?"

"That's why we are going to use those hundred thousand ships of yours," Hye evilly grinned, making the pirate king have a bad omen about this.

"But…"

"Don't worry, pal," Hye patted his shoulder, "that piece won't be just a base of mine, but will be known as a base of your outlaw force."

"Why not screw me instead? Huh?" the pirate king directly bellowed, and Hye couldn't help but laugh at him.

"We need a front," Hye laughed, "if I announced to the world I'm here, then it won't just be those from the outer universe you'll need to worry about. Besides, with our current location, and formation protecting us, there is no sane force that will try to come and take you down, right?"

"..." The pirate king knew this all made perfect sense, but still being here and declaring this place to be his felt quite bad. He didn't get what was wrong in Hye's proposal, and yet he had no reason to refute it.

Hye found it quite amazing to have such a perfect front that'd move all the eyes off him. He wasn't that worried about the other universe's forces. After all, he already fought them before when he was in the apocalypse. Not to mention he knew the perfect counter for these; cultivation.

During the past twenty years, he made sure to not only train his forces on fighting tactics and such but also focused on elevating their cultivation bases. Even with the help of the time difference in his second Earth world, they didn't make such a big improvement as one might expect.

But they were at least good enough to defend that piece of the universe. He has had such a thought before. If the cultivation method came originally from the other universe, wouldn't that mean anyone training on it wouldn't have enough progress until he'd go there?

"So… Now what?" As Hye went into silence, lost in his deep thoughts, the nymph lady cleared up her throat, "I got the seller on wait… You need to decide how large is the area you want to buy, and…"

"Is there such a thing?" Hye got jolted awake from his thoughts, and looked at her before adding, "Is the area sold that huge?"

"Let me show you…" she went towards the control unit of the ship, bringing the map up in front of their eyes. It was projected to them as a holograph, with tons of dots and lines there, marking the grand zones, sectors, and even small zones in the entire universe.

"We are here," she selected a place that was at the edge of the universe. Weirdly enough, the map showed the universe as being cubical in shape, "and that's the place where we are going to buy in…" she pointed at another spot, and then enlarged it.

"And this is the area that the seller is offering," she marked a large area with her finger, leaving behind a red circle.

"Damn! It's at least five sectors!!! Is that for real?!!!"

"Not five, but ten," she corrected him, "all this area is filled with tons of unexploded mines. Not to mention there are lots of void planets there. You also ordered tons of manmade planets, and few are ready to be delivered… So…"

"I don't care about any of that," the size of this area wasn't clear to Hye, as he didn't know in the first place how huge a sector was, "I want to ask about the limitation of the protective formation. How many sectors can it cover?"

"Anything you want," the pirate king was the one to answer this question, "I don't know how you got a way to get it, but if it's the famous defensive shield formation, then it's going to cover any area you want. All you need is to purchase more anchor points, expand it, provide enough energy source to run it as much as you like, strengthen it as you wish…"

"Is that true?" Hye turned to the nymph lady, and the latter showed a surprised look on her face while giving the pirate king a doubtful gaze.

"I'm a pirate kind, I have to learn about the strongest ways to stop me from doing my job, right?" he puffed his chest, before adding, "Back there, that world of merchants had such a formation, yet they were stingy to run it on full power. I heard they just provided it with enough energy sources to show at most ten percent of its capabilities. If they run it at full cylinders, then nothing could have passed through it, not us, no Hescos, no one!"

Chapter 1730 Hye, The Tycoon!

"Oh, that means…" Hye turned to the nymph lady, and the latter rolled her eyes.

"Energy sources are a problem to others, not you!"

"You mean my bones?" Hye grinned evilly, and she couldn't help but think about slapping his face every time he boasted about his bones.

"I get it then," he turned towards the map, where a large circle surrounded an enlarged part of it, "Tell the seller that I want everything he can offer to me."

"This… do you even know how much we are speaking about right now?!!" She was totally shocked, but Hye didn't even consider any of what she just said.

"And tell the ones making my artificial handmade planets to deliver them here, the same goes for the protective shield makers, got it?"

"..."

"You… You are crazy!!!" Even the pirate king couldn't control himself, "The price of buying a sector here may be small compared to any other place in the universe, but it's still quite an astronomical amount of wealth… And you want ten of them!!!"

"I want everything, not just ten," Hye corrected him, turning to the nymph lady to make sure she got what he meant, "Tell him to give me everything, round it up by using these bones as a standard method of payment."

He took five bones, all were the grades of his normal bones starting from green up to dark gold grade. She accepted them in a monotonous way, without showing any emotion on her face, as she was still stupefied by his craziness.

"Don't blame me if the price came in ten figures!" she left this comment, trying to shake him back to reality. And yet he never cared.

Ten digits? That wasn't something impossible for him. He knew he was going to spend a ton of his bones this time, enough to make him feel the loss. But these were all normal bones, and he already got more than enough to pay a hundred times such an offer.

Not to mention he could get more anytime he wanted by going to any ongoing war and collecting the bones from there.

In addition to all this, he was building up his base, one that would mark his true beginning in this universe. He didn't like how he performed so far, running away like a coward, hiding and jumping from one world to another.

This was going to be his permanent base, the one he'd use to unleash endless campaigns, train his forces, and even invade the other universe.

And with the presence of the pirate king and the nymph lady at his side, he was sure this base would turn out to be quite scary in the eyes of many forces in the universe, another layer of protection indeed.

But he had to think and consider the start phase of all this, consider the future as well. If he left any area around uncontrolled by him, then the same seller would sell these to any force in the universe, inviting more trouble to him.

He preferred to suffer a bit of a loss today, than suffer a ton more tomorrow. At the same time, he wanted to control as much area as he could, so he wouldn't face such a problem again in the future.

"You do know you are going to sell your liver for this, and it won't be enough!" the pirate king sighed, before thinking for a moment there, "on another thought, even if you sold both kidneys, it won't do!"

"We'll see," Hye laughed and didn't care that much about what he just said. He waited for the final response from the seller and the people making his formation and artificial planets.

His wait didn't last more than a few minutes this time. The nymph lady turned to him with a face that spoke for itself. It seemed as if she was telling him: Told you about it, warned you not to do it!

"Just tell me how much they want…"

"Well… Let's start with things we already agreed on," she cleared her throat before adding, "The formation guys are ready to deliver it in around one week. They want half payment now, and half when we receive it. A special delivery process with a special type of contract will handle the process. As for installing it, it's either on us, or they can send technicians to do the task…"

"I don't want anyone to come here," Hye strictly refused, "plus it's better for my people to learn how to fix all this, learn all the ins and outs, right?"

"Sure, but that will take time to do, not to mention the anchor points can get damaged. I already sent the updated surface area that's needed to get covered, and they ran the numbers…"

"And?" Hye didn't like such a great detailed report without getting directly into the main point. How much would this cost him exactly?

"Well… They want two billion bones, all at silver grade… This…"

"Deal!" Hye didn't even hesitate in the slightest. This figure wasn't as high as he expected it to be. After all, he expanded the area to cover a huge stretch of space, not just the initially limited area he was supposed to obtain and control.

"Are you sure?!!! Are you nuts?!!!" the pirate king screamed from the side, but Hye never cared about his opinion.

"You do know once I send the confirmation, they'll send me a contract that you'll sign," the nymph lady tried to warn him again, and yet he was determined to close the deal.

"Do it," he firmly said, "how about the artificial world makers? How many have they made yet? And how much do they need?"

"Ahem… Okay, they have made around fifty worlds so far, each one costs one million pale gold-grade bones… So…"

"Deal!" Hye acted like real tycoons should. He never showed any care or worry about the price tag presented to him, only agreeing without even hustling around the price, "How about the seller of this area? How much does he want?"

Chapter 1731 We Got Three Weeks Then!

"Well… He said if you just want the ten sectors, each will cost you one hundred million blue-grade bones… If you want extra around, he can provide triple this, amounting to thirty-three sectors in total. However…"

"However, what?" Hye didn't object to the price, it was the cheapest so far out of what he heard from her.

"The extra zone pokes into the forbidden zone," She looked at the pirate king, and the latter moved his head away as if he knew Hye was going to accept such a crazy offer."

"What's the forbidden zone?" but Hye didn't get it, and the nymph lady could understand why.

"It's the area that's considered grey, in between the two universes, without anyone claiming ownership," the pirate king said, "It's very dangerous, and lots of wars raged in this area. The initial war started at this zone, and legend says it belonged to us, lost it at first, then reclaimed it. Since then, we have gone back and forth around it. So…"

His words had a clear message to Hye; Don't ever touch that area, it's deadly!

And yet the latter did exactly as the two expected, didn't reject such an offer, and instantly signed the contracts over the ownership of each sector, and other deals as well.

He paid tons of his bones, and this was by far the largest deal he made after the end of the apocalypse. He even doubted he ever struck such a huge deal before with anyone at the time of the apocalypse.

"You are crazy," the pirate king kept repeating whenever Hye received a contract and signed it. The nymph lady remained silent, knowing that Hye showed how truly unfathomable he was.

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

She was like everyone else in the universe, thinking Hye had a limited supply of his bones. They got all the reasons to feel so, as his bones were considered a novel thing in the entire history of the universe.

And yet he kept showing signs that he had an endless supply of them as if he could make them just by thinking or something.

"How long do we have before everything is delivered?" Hye finished signing everything, and now all that remained was to wait for everyone to deliver what they promised.

He knew his interests were protected by the system, and yet he wanted to know how long before he got his hands on everything.

"Two weeks at most," she paused, "the ownership of these sectors will be handed to you in a day or so. That seller is generous enough to offer an army of experienced…"

"Don't want any," Hye interrupted her words, "thank him for me, but let him evacuate the entire area and leave everything to me."

"Isn't it better to have them around?" the nymph lady couldn't understand why he firmly declined, "we are still in need of forces to defend us…"

"He doesn't want any spies over what he's going to do, right?" the pirate king got what she didn't. And when he said it like this, she realised why Hye refused firmly like this.

"How about the rest?" he asked, ignoring this point totally, "How long will they get here and install everything?"

"The artificial worlds will be delivered in ten days," she paused, checking over something on her interface before adding up, "they'll bring them in the form of metallic balls. At the moment of their release, they'll expand and turn into gigantic worlds. It won't take more than a few days to get it done. But…"

"The shield is what bothers me," Hye paused, "How long do we have before they bring it here and give us instructions to build it?"

"Two weeks," she sighed, "that's just to bring it here. If you let them install it, then we'll take a week or so. But…"

"Hmm…" Hye never thought such a task would take a long time. But he still didn't change his mind about letting his warriors learn how to install these, "I got the right people to do the task. Anyway, we got two weeks then… Let those artificial worlds wait for this time, to arrive here after we installed everything.``

"Ok," she didn't object and relayed the news, while the pirate king asked:

"We have two weeks, roughly three if we are going to wait for the shield to get installed. What shall we do during this time?"

"What else?" Hye shrugged, "We'll train our forces. Take out your fleet, and I'll take mine. We'll supervise the training of my warriors, let them have a taste of how to fly a ship in space, how to evade, and how to fight."

"This…" The pirate king still felt pain whenever he recalled this point. He blamed his talkative mouth for bragging about having such a large number of ships. And now these ships would be taken away from him.

"Don't worry, I will hand over part of them in the end," Hye said as if he was the one acting generous here as if all the ships belonged to him. And that was true if we were speaking technically here.

Hye went out and took tons of ships that he looted before. The nymph lady did the same, as she had many ships that she didn't have time to hand over to Hye.

As for the pirate king, he was the last to join the party. When he saw the tens of thousands of different ship models and sizes standing motionless in space, he didn't feel that bad anymore.

"You got too much for a single raid battle!" he said in envy, while Hye shrugged.

"I didn't lose much back there, didn't join the fight using my ships as you can tell."

"Ah, that Soulers tactic is awesome! You should lend me a few, okay?"

"If you are willing to share their burden," Hye rolled his eyes, and the pirate king seemed pretty scared when he heard that.

"Forget it, I'm not a monster like you," he said in a bitter tone, making Hye and the nymph lady laugh at him.

Chapter 1732 Time To Go Back!

"Let's start," Hye simply moved around the grand fleet he had, spreading his warriors inside every ship there. He just let all the warriors aside from Soulers and Reapers come out and train. As for these two, he had different plans for them.

"You are going to use a flagship now?" The nymph lady saw him leaving one huge ship behind before he finally went towards it.

"I'll use it as a base for the training," he went towards the ship, and the other two followed to watch. The warriors he took out had one task to do, get themselves familiar with the ship control systems.

He left them a day to do so and didn't need to tell them anything. They just spread all over the space, taking a huge area here, while trying out everything, except the firing system.

It'd look bad if they misfired and hit each other! As for himself, once he entered that ship, he deployed his Soulers and Reapers, before taking the suits he claimed before.

"Wear these, train on them out there," he pointed towards the space outside, before turning to the two beside him, "lead everyone in the training. I'm going away for a while."

"Where exactly?" the two of them looked at him as if they were looking at a crazy man. He didn't say anything, simply opened the door towards his second Earth world, and said while vanishing through:

"Did you think I'd leave my well-protected world without having a way back? Keep working, I'll be back in a few days at most."

And like this, he left them totally speechless, at a loss for words or comments about what to say.

Hye didn't just leave because he was bored, or wanted to rest. He wanted to arrange things back on Earth and prepare his armies for what was about to come.

He never expected when he started out his journey to end at such a point. He got what he desired, but got a hot piece of cake, a place that was destined to be filled with tons of battles.

Hye wasn't feeling any regret at all. This place was going to be his base for future expansion. It wasn't only near the outer battlefield, but it was also highly secured.

Be it the promised shield grand formation, or the unique place of this area, this area was going to be perfectly safe from the Hescos at least.

They'd be insane if they decided to move their fleets and come here to attack him. If they did, they'd end up crossing paths with lots of other universe armies, tons of harsh battles, and would lose too much without gaining anything in return.

As for the threat of the other universe forces, he already had an idea. He got lots of forces to train and raise their cultivation bases, but they still lacked stat points to enter the universal stage of power.

He'd give them the crystals he harvested from the Crystal Heart and didn't use them yet. At the same time, he wanted to speak with the research department about different issues.

They needed to learn how to make spaceships, and learn how to build tons of spacesuits. Without enough supply of these, his space fleet would always be at the risk of getting destroyed, just like how it happened with the pirate king.

At the same time, he planned to invest in making more of his Soulers and Reapers. During the past twenty years, he made more of these, but he didn't focus on this, and didn't take this matter seriously.

He mistakenly thought his current forces of warriors were enough to let him make a good name in the universe. But now he knew even if he multiplied this by one hundred, it wasn't even enough!

There were lots of challenges and obstacles he needed to overcome and solve. But at least he had a roadmap about what to do.

He also wanted the research department to study how to establish and repair the axis and nodes of the grand defensive formation, learn even how to build versions of their own, and even go to the extent of evolving and upgrading it.

The moment he passed through the portal, he arrived in the middle of the first ever established training grounds here. When he looked around, he grew melancholic about this place.

"It brings back lots of great memories," he muttered while looking around. The place was still filled with tons of his kingdom's people and warriors, fighting against endless streams of monsters.

The training ground wasn't the same as before and wasn't barren like before. There were tons of fortifications, walls, and even trenches and war weapons to help in defending this place and what lay beyond monsters.

The normal killing speed of his forces here exceeded killing a million monsters per day. This was on regular days when there weren't any outbreaks. If there are any, then this number could increase by ten up to fifty fold.

This added tons of spirit points to his class. And yet he never upgraded his class yet. He never felt the urge to do so, and felt it was all cool with the past peace he enjoyed.

Even now he didn't feel the need to do so. He planned to summon more Soulers and Reapers, as they formed the backbone of his entire spaceship's hijacking strategy.

"Time to go back and say hi," Just as he wanted to open a portal back to Earth, he got two weird notifications from the system.

[Warning! You already have new anchor points linked to this world. That place is saved successfully]

[Which place do you want to go to?]

Just when he wanted to open a portal to Earth, he got these two messages. Then he got two options, the two were written in a long series of numbers.

"Hmm… Which place is Earth and which is the new base?" he muttered to himself, before taking his staff out, "I saved the location of that place in the staff, thinking I need to use it to go there. But now, I don't need any of that…"

Chapter 1733 Meeting With Everyone

Hye opened the interface window of his staff, and there he found all the saved locations he bookmarked. When he spotted the first choice, he found out that it was greyed out, meaning he couldn't go there if he tried.

"Damn! I was this close to screwing myself…" he heaved a deep sigh of relief, before looking at the long series of numbers next to the first spot saved in that interface.

"So the first choice is for the new base, and the second one is for Earth… Interesting, I almost was about to select the first spot moments ago…"

He thought that the oldest saved spot would come first, but this wasn't the case. When he selected the second spot, a portal opened up and he passed through while feeling a bit worried that he selected wrongly.

"Phew, it's my Earth," Hye arrived back at the same place he once left from. When he appeared, he found tons of armies waiting, training in colossal training camps, "Lily indeed did a great job with everyone else," he muttered while nodding in satisfaction.

[Where are you? Gather up at the same spot I left from] he sent this message over, while waiting for his friends to gather up.

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

[You came back?]

[At last!]

[I thought you'd take forever!]

He received lots of messages, before waiting for almost an hour before everyone gathered here. He found even the five leaders of the research department here, and that made him smile in contentment.

"I know, I know you want everything out of these ships to get properly copied… don't worry, I'm sure it'll take a long time to do so, but it's still doable in the end."

"So… When is it our time to join that stage?" Legend rubbed his hands, acting impatient, "I always heard about wars in the universe, but didn't get a chance to experience any."

"Yes, I want to fight in space!" Sara also chimed in, while others looked very eager to go out and try this universe.

"That's why I'm here," he paused, before adding in a serious tone, "The universe isn't just about spaceships. There is still the problem of crystals. I gained tons of crystals from this adventure, but it's not enough. Not to mention we have a ceiling, one that we need to go to the outer battlefield and do something there to break it."

"Let's work with what we have then," Lily said in a decisive tone, "with what you have, how many warriors and people of ours can you support?"

"Well, it's hard to tell…" Hye never calculated what he got. He collected the harvest from the Crystal Heart, planted more trees, and supported them all using his bones, and yet he never counted any, "But I'm going to distribute everything to you evenly. Select the most capable ones, strengthen them, then wait for me to come back and bring you towards the new base of ours."

"Do you need us to build anything there?" Isac said, before adding, "If so, we need tons of workers. You mentioned a huge number of worlds there, right?"

"I didn't count that either," Hye sighed, "but we'll need lots of people to build and make these worlds inhabitable. Ah, I also need capable teams from the research department, to learn how to place the nodes and axis of the grand defensive formation. At the same time, I need them to learn how to build this in the future."

"More impossible work for us…" Old Gan sighed, and Hye totally ignored his remark.

"I'll need the teams of the research department to come with me back to the universe. I'll also need all of your upgraded armies and warriors to follow me with all of you."

"You'll take us right away?!!" Everyone was surprised by this, but Hye slowly shook his head.

"Not everyone, of course. You'll select just the best this time, the ones leading your armies and forces. Then you'll leave with me, leaving a few capable ones to select the bulk of your armies, move later when we establish the base… Also select extras, as we'll gain more crystals from wars out there."

They got his point. He just needed them to select the army-capable officers and team leaders, the ones who were going to lead others in the wars out there. For them to do so, they needed tons of experience first, and Hye intended to take them back to learn such stuff.

Chapter 1734 Going Back To The Flagship

"How long do we have?" Isabella asked, and Hye gave them two days.

During which, he rested and did nothing much. He already had ten days before the arrival of the shield makers, during which he was sure everyone would be able to familiarise themselves with spaceships and space battles.

He gave them many ships, and tons of crystals as promised. The moment they used these crystals, they felt the same amazing changes he felt.

"Damn! We weren't strong before, we weren't even close…"

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

"This power… And we are just at level one!"

"We need to gather more crystals, or else the rest of our armies won't be useful…"

They kept speaking among themselves while Hye listened and said nothing. He knew this peace was temporary, and wouldn't last the moment they stepped into their new base.

He didn't forget to stress over selecting those with the highest cultivation bases as the main point in determining everything. The main threat lay in the forces of the other universe, and these wouldn't get defeated except by using spiritual power.

Hye kept resting, while everyone was working for two days straight. He kept checking on their progress using messages, with many asking to go to the other world to select more from the warrior pool there.

So he left instructions to arrange their forces into millions each. He'd go back and lead the first batch first, then let them move to other smaller ships before sending someone back to bring another batch.

This would take a bit longer, but it was the only feasible way to do it. If he had three hundred flagships, he'd simply jump from one to another, letting his forces appear and fill them. But he had much lower numbers than that, and so this was the main plan he could use.

He also told them they might not be able to accommodate all of them. He already filled most of the ships with his warriors, and he needed them to train. As for the extra ships he had, he already handed them to the research department and for those leading the training grounds.

He wanted his warriors and fighters to train on these ships, learn the basic skills of how to run and let them fly, how to let them maneuver and move in the air. It wasn't a great thing indeed, but it was going to help to let them be familiar with the ships.

"You are back… What the hell… Who are they?!!!" Just when he arrived back at the big spaceship, he found the pirate king waiting for him there.

He was in the middle of his words when he spotted the incoming forces behind Hye. They showed no end to them, spread all over the ship by Hye's orders.

"They are just the tip of the iceberg," Hye laughed, "don't tell me you want a few of them."

"If they are strong and able to fly spaceships, then why not?" The pirate king stayed for an hour watching the endless stream of fighters coming from the portal, "Tell me, how many do you get? Are they this good?"

"They are just newbies in the universe," Hye shook his head, "give us a few weeks, or months, and you can select a few of them and add to your forces."

"Tsk! What a regret…" he looked at these fighters while asking, "Are they all warriors? I see tons of different races, even many I can't tell which race they belong to!"

"They are my private army, just one of many," Hye didn't satisfy the pirate king nor did give him a good answer.

Chapter 1735 You Lost Ten Thousand Spaceships Just To Train!!!

Hye knew this was thanks to the marriage that happened between many races, ending up giving birth to many new subraces. And when they married each other, it was expected for more variations to rise.

"You do indeed are far more mysterious than what I read about you," the pirate king sighed, "you made a ruckus twenty years ago. But what I read isn't half close to what you showed just now."

"Hahaha, you are exaggerating!" Hye knew this wasn't anything close to what he had back in his two worlds.

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

"I know what I'm talking about," the pirate king seriously looked at everyone coming out from the portal, "They aren't that strong in terms of stats and levels, but they all have cultivation bases, something that is not common to see in the universe."

"We are this close to the outer battlefield, and it's just normal for me to focus on such an aspect," Hye shrugged, "or else we are screwed."

"It's still remarkable," the pirate king sighed again, "you did all this before even stepping into the universe. I'm curious, if your plan succeeded and my pirate fleet managed to claim lots of loot and resources, what would you reach in the end?"

"Nothing much," Hye evilly grinned, but that grin made the pirate king feel like he was standing in front of a monarch or something.

"You… Is really something," he only said that, before returning to silence.

"What? I didn't do anything wrong," he shrugged, and they couldn't help but want to explode in his face, "Anyway, she is going out to do a long mission for me, so…"

His meaning was clear, even if she looked like another girl added to his harem, she was still going to stay away for a long time.

"Still she is another one to compete with," Angelica rolled her eyes, and the other girls nodded in agreement.

"Ahem, let's speak about what you are going to do here then," Hye changed the subject pretty fast before he'd end up in trouble, "you are going to train over various ships. Your forces will train on how to steer the ships, fire the weapons, and how to attack and survive in space…"

He started to give his long list of instructions, and they dropped an eye for that subject for now. They decided to deal with the source of trouble themselves whenever they got the chance to, and if she didn't leave as he promised, they'd force her to leave using their own ways.

As he gave the order, they started to spread all over the fleet, train over different ships, and get used and familiar with these ships and how to fly and fight in space.

There wasn't any source of danger around to make them train on evasion and firing, but Hye solved this by planning some sort of drill. He arranged the fleet into twenty different armies, each led by one of his capable generals.

He let Lily lead the overall drill, asking the fleets to fly by each other, evade the ships, and try to not hit a single one of them.

It was indeed difficult at first, and many ships were destroyed. Luckily he asked them to wear suits before doing this, so they didn't die as they ejected themselves out of the ships before getting damaged.

Slowly they started to grasp how to do it, and eventually, they started to fly in complicated setups and complex paths, evading all the ships around, without suffering any more losses.

"You do know you are insane, right?" Watching all this from the side made the pirate king sigh, "you lost ten thousand ships just to let them know how to evade and fly? This is a big loss…"

Chapter 1736 The Outbreak Is Coming!

"Considering the huge and scary battles we are destined to face, it's not a costly price at all!" Hye shook his head, "They need to prepare for the worst. And without any dangerous place here, this is all we can do for now."

"Tsk! It's still a huge loss!"

The pirate king was feeling bitter about such a grand loss. Ten thousand ships wasn't a small number, and yet Hye treated it as if it was just nothing.

Hye ignored the pirate king, and focused on the training ongoing for his forces. At the same time, he kept counting the days until the arrival of what he purchased.

Days passed fast, and in a flash the news reached him.

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

"They are close from here?" William heard this before turning to everyone who was gathered in the flagship he took as a base. They witnessed him with tons of interesting twists, and many ups and downs. They were by his side in the apocalypse, and they were here now when it was time to start invading the universe.

"We are going to build our new home here," he said these words, and they were enough to express to them what he was thinking and feeling, "let's go, we'll go to the location of our new home. Let's announce our presence to the universe with a big bang."

They all shouted in pure excitement. Humans didn't know about the universe until now. But from what they experienced so far, they knew how grand such a chance was. And the ones who came from other races knew how huge such a step was.

The fleet moved in twenty grand armies, and went after his flagship. He kept the nymph lady by his side, as she was the only person here who knew the way.

[Prepare for a grand battle! Spread the fleets over, we also need ships to go and scout the space around]

"It's bad timing," the nymph lady got what he was worried about the most. And she couldn't refute such a possibility.

This zone had one single source of danger anyway, the spread of the battles between the two universes' forces. Calling it an outbreak or anything else wouldn't matter, as aside from this threat, there wasn't anything else that could endanger them.

[I'm going to lead the vanguard army!] Sara suddenly sent, and without any warning, Hye saw a large fleet accelerating, breaking away from here.

[Hey! This isn't an army! And there isn't any vanguard army here! Damn! I meant fleet!] Hye hurriedly responded to her, trying his best to stop her. But as she always was, she didn't listen to him and went directly towards the far distance.

[I'm going to see what's coming and inform you about it, isn't this what vanguard armies do?]

[You… I'm sure you are just playing with words! You know I asked for a scout, not a vanguard!]

[Hmm, both look the same to me, hahahaha!] She acted as herself, and didn't care about anything as long as she was going to have some fun out there.

During the post-apocalyptic peaceful period, she was one of the few who regretted not having turmoil or hard times. The moment danger appeared, she decided to jump straight toward fire without any speck of hesitation.

[Let her go, I'd have gone myself but she beat me to it!] Legend sent to him, and Hye thanked his luck that Legend had more control over himself and thought about things thoroughly before doing anything, not like her at least.

[Stand on guard then, she may need our help] Hye's initial plan was to know what was coming to them, and find a way to turn around all this mess and trouble, before meeting up with the formation team. Once they established the grand formation, they could counterattack without worrying over many things.

But now they had to watch for enemies attracted by Sara towards them. And on top of that, Sara was in danger. And they might need to intervene to help her.

Chapter 1737 They Dare To Look Down On Him!!

The grand fleet began to prepare for battles. Hye spread his Soulers and Reapers in preparation for the need to hijack any spaceship near his flagship. At the same time, every other general started to spread their orders around, asking everyone to be ready for a fight.

The wait didn't last longer than four hours before Sara returned with the grave news.

[Hye, this is big! This is huge! It's not an attack between two forces, it's an outbreak of tons of burning shooting stars, heading across from one direction to another, sweeping and destroying anything in their path…]

She relayed the news, and didn't stop there, but also shared a video she just recorded with him. In there, Hye saw something that made him slowly stand up from his seat.

There weren't just a large number of them, but the entire universe seemed to be built from such shooting stars! There wasn't anything else but these shooting stars, burning and destroying anything in their path, sweeping even stars, ending up detonating them fiercely, adding more firepower to them.

Such a scene was way beyond his wildest imagination. "Damn! We are screwed!!" he felt the urge to move away, but where?

Everywhere was filled with these shooting stars. [Return, return fast] he gave the order before adding, [and try to find a way to escape this!]

[There is no way but by passing through them] she said something crazy, [I tried to move around, to find where these shooting stars end, and so far they seem endless!]

[We need to go below or above them] Hye already sent what Sara sent to him to everyone else. And the one who brought up such an idea was none other than old Gan, [They look like they came from a dying star or something. That means they expanded outwards from a single point, and gained more numbers and momentum by destroying stars and planets on their path]

Old Gan came on top of the research department folks, as he said he didn't trust anyone else to study the grand defensive formation but him.

[Why not try and find a way on the sides?] Hye asked, and old Gan explained the theory again, this time he recorded a video explaining things while drawing.

According to him, these shooting stars would spread in a conical shape. It'd grow to cover a scary stretch of space horizontally, but vertically they'd be thin no matter what. So it was safer to move either upward or downward, to evade the incoming impending death.

[Let's try this theory then] As no one gave other opinions but old Gan, Hye decided to follow his advice and plan, [Let's move up, all of us move up!]

As he gave such an order to everyone, he asked Sara to retreat in an oblique path, heading towards upwards. They met together after one hour, and then it was time to see if old Gan's theory would work or not.

"It worked! Hahaha! You have a genius man on your side, hahaha!" The pirate king couldn't help but laugh when he and others spotted the scary shooting stars moving way below them.

[At least we evaded danger] William sent this to everyone, [But we'll keep scanning the space upfront. Sara will lead the scout team]

[It's the Vanguard team!] Sara sent back, as if she didn't like being called the scout team leader, [And I'm leading an army, not just a small unit!]

[Just make sure you are safe out there] Hye didn't want to lose much of the fleet she led at such an early stage of developing their new home. Sara had a very bad record of losing most of her forces, one that was even close to the scary track of the jumper.

So far, the jumper didn't appear once again in front of Hye's radar. He was sure that troublesome girl was somewhere in the universe, making trouble and bringing bad luck to anyone she ended up with.

As the grand fleet flew on top of the shooting stars, everyone couldn't ignore such a majestic scene passing down below them. Hye wasn't an exception, as such a grand scene never appeared before in the apocalypse.

"Country pumpkins…" The pirate king muttered from the side when he noticed how everyone looked at such a scene with shock and surprise.

The universe was like an ocean, filled with lots of mysteries and unknown phenomena, ones that weren't any less impressive and grand than this one.

To pass this area, they took roughly an entire day. They didn't know why they took such a long time, but it felt like they took a detour to bypass these shooting stars.

During this, the team who brought the shield formation here kept speaking with the nymph lady, complaining about the delay in timing.

Hye told her to explain things to them, and they still didn't like such a response. Hye didn't know why, but it felt like these people were acting all arrogant, looking down on him.

[Change of plans, make arrangements for them to stay and build the formation] Hye suddenly sent to her after half a day of travel over the shooting star outbreak, [They are going to stay here for as long as it takes to lay down the formation]

[Are you sure? Didn't you reject such an idea before?] The nymph lady didn't get why he changed his mind. But he stressed over this point, making her negotiate again before ending up with him paying more bones to hire them.

This was his way to humiliate them for acting this arrogant and looking down at him. Hye never liked anyone dealing in such a way to him, and he intended to let them work like slaves, and he'd show himself to all, showing off as being their lord or something.

[How about us?] Old Gan sent this message the moment he received the news, [What shall we do then?]

[Just watch, learn, and keep asking questions]

Chapter 1738 Lily Is Going To Torture Them!

Hye evilly grinned, [And make sure to show an attitude of belonging to a mighty force, got it?]

[Hmm… Don't know why, but are you doing all this to show off?!!] Old Gan felt surprised by this, and yet all he got was for Hye stressing over this point.

Hye couldn't believe the workers he hired to look down on him in such a way. The moment they passed the area of shooting stars, they arrived at the point of meeting with the formation team.

"This ship… Damn! They decorated their spaceship as if it was a grand hotel or something!" Hye blinked twice while watching the spaceship that wasn't any smaller than his flagship. Size wasn't the issue, but this spaceship was decorated with lots of golden ornaments, torches, and lights, even statues of different creatures were around the outer surface of it.

At first glance, this didn't look like anything like a spaceship, but like a luxurious mansion of someone obsessed with showing off. [You are going to lead the negotiations and dealings with them] he sent over to Lily when he got over his surprise from this ship.

[How about you?]

[I'll just keep watching from the sides] he intended before to show off personally, but now he changed his mind. Such folks wouldn't respect the lord showing his face to them, and would even mistake it as a sign of weakness or something.

So instead of this, he decided to do as any proper lord would do, leaving his followers to deal on his behalf, and he just watched from the side.

Lily was his most trusted friend, and she knew what he wanted to do. She led all of the strong forces in the fleet, and surrounded that ship while giving the workers inside instructions about what to do.

The area they needed to cover was formed of many sectors, and they needed to cover this. It wasn't practical to use that decorated spaceship, and Lily strictly ordered them to come on board and work with their men.

The workers tried to stick to their ship, but Lily didn't let them have it. This was the first slap on their face, and they eventually had to listen to her requests, especially when the nymph lady told their superiors about their stubborn attitude and complained about this.

The contract had punitive fees for breaking the contract. And so they had to listen to Lily's instructions, leave their ship, and come to Hye's.

Seeing this made Hye evilly grin, even laugh.

"Why are you laughing like this?" The pirate king didn't see any aim of any of that and didn't get why Hye was feeling this excited.

"Lily is going to give them a very hard time, hahaha!" Hye laughed again, knowing that Lily got what he wanted her to do perfectly well.

After that, everything happened the same way he envisioned and hoped for. The moment they boarded the various spaceships, they got the same treatment that any worker should have.

They didn't enjoy any privilege, and didn't get past any arrogant attitude without being shouted at and even punished. Few of them even ended up in big fights against Hye's forces, ending up with the nymph lady complaining to their superiors again.

In the end, the formation team got strict orders to be cautious while dealing with Hye's troops. They got that Hye wasn't a pushover, wasn't nobody who came to hire them without knowing what that even meant.

To hire them meant that person was quite powerful and very wealthy in the universe. Even if he had no background, like Hye, it didn't mean he wasn't nobody.

Hye knew that quite well, and yet the workers who came here thought he didn't. So they acted as if they were generously helping him here, as if they were doing a favour, not getting paid extensively and richly for their services.

In the end, they had to lower their heads, or else they'd get severely punished by breaking the contract penalty, which was around ten times the initial paid amount of bones.

Once their temper and attitude got fixed, things started to go smoother from there. Hye watched the various ships move towards far places, traveling even for weeks to arrive at their designated spots.

They had to lay the foundation of the grand defensive formation at the border of his controlled zone. In each ship, there were many who belonged to the research department. Once the orders came from their higher-ups to listen to everything Hye's forces wanted, lower their heads, and act humble, old Gan took this as a sign to start.

He messaged everyone he brought with him, asking them to start asking tons of questions about the formation.

How to lay the foundation, how to activate it, and even how to repair any errors that might happen. Gradually and under the tons of questions asked, the workers started to spill out some important knowledge about how to make the formation in the first place.

Everything they said was instantly delivered via messages to old Gan. The latter had a few of his most capable researchers by his side, and started to work on the tons of data received from their men, arranging and sorting them out, before finding the most valuable knowledge.

As they stayed for a long time with Hye's forces, these workers couldn't keep their mouths shut in the end, leaking more knowledge and valuable experience tips.

Two days after the departure of the ships carrying the formation guys, the teams responsible for building the planets arrived.

Hye already had a detailed map of this zone, one that contained everything he'd need or think of. During these two days, he already consulted with the pirate king and other friends he had around about the best places to build the planets here.

They got just a few dozen of them, and that wasn't enough to fill this insane zone. Yet they need to think carefully about where to establish these planets, as this had to follow the general layout of the future design of this zone.

Chapter 1739 Defence Is Their Top Priority

The one who Hye listened to her opinion the most was Isac, and she with others drew a rough plan of the general design of this area.

Against what Hye thought initially, they agreed to place the planets at the border areas of their new home. This would serve better as defensive bases, and frontline military camps in the future. As Isac said herself, protecting this place was the top priority for them, then inhabiting the entire area came second.Please visit https://novel-next.com website to read fastest update

Hye didn't argue or object to that. Any infiltration or damage would have a much worse impact than slightly delaying the plans of inhabiting this area. Not to mention the main bases for Hye right now were his Earth and second Earth planets, not here.

Not to mention he needed time to gather more people and move them here. The population he had back at the two worlds was growing insanely without a doubt, but they weren't enough to even fill five planets out of these going to be built here.

And if they moved half of their military forces, they'd not fill five more planets at most. In the end, they'd not be able to inhabit more than ten worlds out of tens of worlds getting built here.

In addition to that, the second top priority they had to focus on was to mine crystals from rich mines here. The entire area was filled with tons of crystal mines, planets that were formed entirely out of crystals.

Yet he knew the moment they started to find a stable source of population, then everything would roll over the right path. Population was the core of everything, the most important chip in building any force.

From them, he'd get a huge pool of talents to support his kingdom, and this isn't just limited to military forces. At the same time, the number of forces he'd be able to train would be tremendous enough to let him properly defend this place without any speck of worry, and start to lay his hands over other places around or even to the outer battlefield and make a name for himself out there.

The two teams started working, and the one to end earlier was the one laying down the planet's cores.

"I believe they'll take a few months to finish doing this…" Hye sighed, didn't realise that having such a grand area was going to be a problem for him, "I shall arrange defensive fleets and scatter them around…"

As they started building everything here, the last thing he wanted to see was for outsiders to come and wreak havoc everywhere. Hye decided to send out all of the fleets around, to secure the working teams, to do patrolling missions, and even sent a few to scout as well.

This time, he didn't let Sara go. This wasn't the time for her to do what she wanted, and if things went bad, he lacked any ability to save her.

At this point, the large number of ships he thought he had turned out to be lacking a lot. To protect such a grand stretch of area, they needed at least ten times the current size of the ships Hye had. And that wasn't the perfect situation even.

"I hope nothing bad will happen," he sighed, before finally turning to the nymph lady and the pirate king who were the only ones remaining behind, "Listen, the previous owner of this place left us lots of workers and slaves. Go and gather them from the entire zone, and let them wait for me here."

"What are you going to do?" the pirate king sniffed trouble coming, excitement in his eyes, "I want to come with you."
