Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

Chapter 813: Chapter 353 Hell Master, King’s Battle Machine_2

As a Divine Tree Contractor, King Cyril was not only at the Mid-King Level in his cultivation, but when he was within the domain similar to a divine realm of the Divine Tree, his strength became incredibly formidable.

Endowed with endless energy and the law power of the divine realm, even ordinary Heavenly Kings would fail to breach the defenses, especially under the Superconducting Electromagnetic Destruction Cannon that the humans crafted using the Divine Tree as power.

Add to this the presence of the strong men stationed not far at the rear in the Outer Development Department Headquarters, and one could say the defenses were as solid as a rock.

At that moment, the silver-haired youth flashed into existence in front of Jack Clark and smiled, “How about it, Jack Clark? Have you recovered from last night’s exertions?”

Jack Clark nodded politely, “Mostly recovered.”

The silver-haired youth spoke gently, “Last night’s incident has been dealt with, and your news will not be leaked out.”

“In the battle last night, you slayed the War Demon King Augusta and made outstanding contributions to the Human Federation. I’ve already recorded these merits into the Federation’s Merit Database.”

“However, as many of your files currently require secrecy, for the time being, this achievement will not be publicized and will not appear on the Human Race’s Merit Monument.”

The Merit Monument is a Divine Stele standing in the frontlines of battlefields, within the squares of the colleges of the three major empires of Blue Star. It showcases the names of those who have made significant contributions to the Human Race.

And Jack Clark, who had slain a Mid-Mythical Stage demon king, certainly deserved recognition for his extraordinary contribution to the human race.

Nevertheless, only Jack Clark was aware of the extent of his battle achievement, so he felt a bit embarrassed, “Your Majesty, would it be inappropriate to attribute this merit solely to me?”

“Moreover, had you not suppressed the true body of that demon king last night, I wouldn’t have been able to kill it. Or to put it another way, I’m not a match for it on my own.”

The silver-haired youth laughed, “Don’t be embarrassed; a kill is a kill; we only look at the results.”

“In light of the merit for slaying the demon king, the Federation will customize a King’s Battle Machine for you, valued at three million Merit Points, capable of traversing space.”

“Apart from possessing the quasi-mythical combat strength of a Peak-Ninth Layer, this fighter aircraft also embodies the pinnacle of the current Federation’s technology, such as the ability to absorb light energy, thermal energy, and cosmic radiation, converting them into Kinetic Energy.”

“Should we fail in the civilization war against the Purgatory Demon Race and our ‘world’ is destroyed, we could still retreat into the cosmic void, flying for thousands of years in search of a new habitat.”

“Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.”

“In addition, while interrogating Charles Klein, we found a lot of useful information and confiscated a portion of the Blood of Demon God from him.”

“However, the Blood of Demon God isn’t of much use to us human cultivators. But it is crucial for a confidential project of the Special Warfare Division.”

At this point, the silver-haired youth’s tone became suggestive as he asked, “Jack Clark, would it be possible for you to ‘sell’ the Blood of Demon God to the Federation and exchange it for equivalent resources you might need?”

Jack Clark spoke earnestly, “Your Majesty, there’s no need for such formality. If the Federation needs it, just take the Blood of Demon God.”

He honestly didn’t care. After all, the resources that Elder Brother Larry had applied for on his behalf were already worth several million Contribution Points, and would allow him to rapidly advance his cultivation to the late stage of the Ninth Heavens.

The silver-haired youth shook his head with a smile, “It’s not the same. What’s yours is yours, the Federation never shortchanges those who have served the human race well, let alone a junior like you.”

With that, the silver-haired youth took out a Sumeru Bracelet, “Inside here are some resources that can strengthen the foundations of the Illusory World and accelerate its transformation from virtual to reality.”

“In addition to the Heavenly Wood Branch and Earth Essence Soil that Elder Brother Larry had already applied for you, there are also four World Star Core Fragments from King Hawk’s throne, which can serve as The Heart of your World.”

“World Star Core Fragments!” Jack Clark couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, he had read about such resources in the core database of Cloud Sky.

As the name implies, these come from a fragmented star core of a shattered world, value comparable to innate runes and other law resources, capable of significantly enhancing a world’s power.

When merged into the essence of Giant Beasts, this would make conversion faster and might even allow for earlier refinement of essences derived from the skeletons of quasi-mythical and even Mythical Giant Beasts.

The silver-haired youth smiled slightly, “These World Star Core Fragments come from a relic, and they are of no use to King Hawk himself, so consider them additional compensation for the Blood of Demon God.”

Jack Clark expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, King Hawk, as well as the generous gifts from all the seniors.”

Such a divine item, worth as much as the Blood of Demon God for just one fragment, was not so much a compensation as it was a direct gift to him.

After discussing Jack Clark’s Merit Value settlement issues, the silver-haired youth glanced at the time, “Jack, wait here for a bit, the Life Crystals should be brought back soon.”

“No rush.”

The two then stood atop the tree canopy, chatting casually like any ordinary friends would.

However, most of the conversation was led by the silver-haired youth, who introduced some forbidden areas of the mythical world to Jack and what to pay attention to when encountering these dangerous zones.

After a period of rest, Jack was set to delve deeper into the mythical world for exploration.

With Jack’s current combat power comparable to the Ninth Heavens, the Giant Beast projections he could summon comparable to ordinary king-level warriors, the Star Ring that could withstand a hit from a Heavenly King or even a rule, and a forbidden weapon that could instantaneously transport him back to the Human Federation headquarters, he was, in all aspects, armed to the teeth—adequate to roam freely around the Human Federation’s areas adjacent to the mythical world. Therefore, the silver-haired youth did not dissuade him from adventuring.

In this era, each rising strong man has his fortunes, like him.

For these strong men with great destiny, forceful interference could backfire, potentially causing the loss of opportunities to ascend to higher levels.

Of course, opportunity and risk coexist; there is no absolute in such matters. Even king-level warriors can fall unexpectedly in some dangerous forbidden areas.

As they spoke, a thunderous noise soon came from below, an ‘elevator’ soared along the trunk of the Moonlight Divine Tree, swiftly reaching the top.

Then the elevator doors opened, and two girls in white tracksuits, with delicate features and probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, stepped out carrying a hefty box.

Both girls, with a Late-Stage Fifth Layer Heaven physique and agile figures, hopped through the branches, reaching the two men in a few breaths, and respectfully said,

“Your Highness, the Life Crystal has been delivered.”

The silver-haired youth smiled gently and nodded, “Thank you for your hard work.”

The two girls quickly shook their heads, “It’s not hard. It’s our duty.”

After looking at Jack with curiosity—having been at the divine tree base for so many years, it was the first time they had seen someone standing shoulder to shoulder with the silver-haired youth—

“You may go back to your duties.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The girls nodded respectfully, then leapt away through the branches.

“We only had time to collect the crystals; the Unique Beast materials need to be slowly dissected and evaluated. Once that’s done, we’ll settle them into your account.”

When Jack and the others returned, the Seventh Legion Garrison had dispatched a logistical spacecraft troop to clean up those Unique Beast corpses.

But thus far, they had only managed to collect the Life Crystals from the Mutated Beast corpses. As for the flesh, scale armor, and other materials, they required meticulous separation, processing, and transport.

Under normal conditions, once the Mutated Beasts were dealt with completely, thirty percent of the total value would be credited to Jack’s income.

The reason it’s only thirty percent, of course, is that multiple stages such as separation, transport, preservation, and refinement all incur enormous labor and material costs; it wasn’t feasible to offer a full reimbursement.

Unless you transport them back by yourself.

The silver-haired youth, giving Jack an appraising glance with a slight smile, said, “Take it and go practice. I know your talent can convert the energy of High-level Life Crystals.”

“I am very much looking forward to the day you break through to the Mythical King stage. By then, our Human Race will have gained another supreme strong man capable of reigning over the battlefield.”

This time, Jack didn’t reply modestly but smiled, “Actually, I’m somewhat looking forward to it as well.”

With that, Jack said his goodbyes, grabbed the ‘heavy’ box, and leaped down, descending straight from the sky to the base of the divine tree where many Closed-door cultivation rooms were established.

Under the respectful gaze of the administrator, Jack casually applied for a cultivation room, entered carrying the box with its compressed internal space, and prepared to convert Attribute points.
