Chapter 112: Chapter 112: The Alien Fused with Hell Power
?
"This haul is plump, let''s head back and talk, it''s not safe here," Qin Muye decided to return to the Church after harvesting the Iron Blood Warrior.
If there really were aliens nearby, he had no wish to engage them head-on.
However, he also had to consider how to deal with this issue. If the Preachers from the Hell Church won, then all was well; but if they lost, wouldn''t that lead to a total collapse?
Compared to native civilizations, when facing slaughter weapons like aliens, they often fell short. They weren''t like the Iron Blood Warrior who possessed sufficient Technology Civilization.
Even though the Power of Hell was present, it was clear that Hell didn''t care at all about these affairs and was more of a scourge.
''It''s not like there''s no way to deal with it; in fact, there''s a permanent solution, but it''s a bit risky.''
Qin Muye''s plan was simple: to stand by and watch the fire burn from across the river. Whether it was the Preachers from the Hell Church or the aliens getting burnt, he would just watch. If the former won, he would snatch the aliens; if the latter prevailed, he would capture the Preachers for research.
As for a considerable alien threat, that too was simple: he would open the gates of Hell, letting the Power of Hell pour into the entire Akman Town, and then, he would detonate about a dozen Crimson Invasions, ensuring a thorough cleansing. He could even contribute a significant amount of Rubies to the Federation of States.
The only problem was that staying around Rubies for too long tended to turn people into Rubies as well.
Yet such an action was likely to harm the innocent, as the explosion would leave no living beings.
He could seek out and eradicate the Alien Queen now, while it was still in its nascent phase, but this did not align with Qin Muye''s interests.
His main task involved dealing with all sorts of monsters and urban legends within Akman Town. It would be far too much work for him to kill them one by one.
Better to have the aliens lend a hand.
Aliens, as a species, could not possibly cooperate with these monsters and Murderers. They were more inclined to use them merely as hosts for breeding.
Even demons and devils from Hell may not be spared. After all, aliens have never been a species inclined to subordination.
Qin Muye was essentially raising a threat within and using others to eliminate enemies indirectly. However, he really had no certainty in this matter, as the aliens were no longer pure sci-fi creatures but slaughter weapons tainted with the Power of Hell. Who knew how strong the enemy could be?
Therefore, Qin Muye could also possibly end up in trouble.
But as for the trouble, he was rather indifferent. After all, the situation was already chaotic. Who knew if the Engineers would descend tomorrow? Then the fun would really begin.
Moreover, if things did go south, he could always escape. This time, he aimed for a rating of S or above; anything less would have little significance for him.
What he lacked now was not these minor Resources or a Treasure or two, a Profession, but buildings like the Magic City Wall and Alchemy Towers that could help advance his territory.
As for other things, to speak frankly, it would be better to wait for the arrival of the Engineers or the mothership of the Iron Blood Warriors. Qin Muye could then seize another opportunity to loot.
''Worst comes to worst, I''ll just have to build a few more Magic Pools to blend in some
Experience.''
Leveling up, after all, sometimes didn''t require going out at all; hiding and leveling up was
just fine.
As for combat experience, it was entirely unnecessary. Should Qin Muye have to personally enter the battlefield, it meant the realm was on the brink of destruction, and what use would combat experience be then?
Once his Floating City was complete, wouldn''t it be better to directly bring the realm to the
instance?
It was just that his realm hadn''t fully developed yet. Once developed, Qin Muye wouldn''t need to expose himself so much.
Handle quests? Simply issue commands. He wouldn''t need to think much about it then. With various strategists providing wisdom and numerous armies at the ready, to do anything would just be a word away.
This was the correct way to be a Lord, not personally charging into battle or even having to manage diplomatic relations with other powers himself-otherwise, what use would his
Heroes be?
After returning to the Church, Qin Muye let out a sigh of relief. The journey had been tiring although he hadn''t walked much, but he did get a scare from the shoulder cannon of an Iron Blood Warrior earlier.
Added to that, the mental strain had been intense. Now relaxing, he naturally felt fatigue set
in.
''Damn, I seem to vaguely remember a plan about self-transformation, right?'' Qin Muye recalled this matter and quickly located it, which was, well, about as far along as creating a
new folder.
Soon, Qin Muye gave up on that as well. Never mind, he would deal with it later. After all, he wasn''t lacking in physical fitness. Once technology advanced, he would just travel by Iron Blood Spaceship, not even needing to walk.
Even if he improved his physical fitness, it would be only a minor embellishment, hardly
worth the time.
After resting for five minutes, Qin Muye dove back into his research on Hell Power. He felt this energy held immense potential, comparable to his own Crimson.
He planned to learn from various sources and see if he could combine the two types of power, Crimson and Hell, to form a new energy unique to himself.
It was also for that reason that Qin Muye had let the alien go, thinking of turning the situation
to his advantage.
