Chapter 600: Chapter 596: The ‘God’ Prowling the Void Chapter 600: Chapter 596: The ‘God’ Prowling the Void In the world of Erathia, all powers with the ability to colonize the Void tend to be exceedingly moderate when wielding warfare to conquer other worlds. If unnecessary, they would never use weapons of mass destruction or biochemical weapons that could irreversible harm to the world, and always try to keep slaughter within certain limits.

Because once the destruction inflicted upon a world exceeds a certain threshold, the world teetering on the edge of annihilation will conjure a will, and then emit anguished laments and cries for help which only entities like the Epic can hear.

And then there is no aftermath. In the world community where Erathia resides, once a world issues its wail of despair, the legion that damaged the world can basically declare its end, because Epics would inevitably respond to the world’s cries for help.

Therefore, colonizing other worlds and using force for conquest would only be used as a last resort. For example, the Locust Civilization this time was determined to be uncooperative and valueless, a type of plundering civilization.

There are always some civilizations innately adversarial to other civilizations and unable to coexist with other civilizations. In the face of such civilizations, force is the only method left other than resistance.

“Terence, how many Giants can rally under my command and fight for me?” asked Prince Mureya.

“All the Storm Giants under my command, along with the Tidal Giants, Mountain Giants, Cloud Giants, Mist Giants, in total there are 275,958 adult Giants. Each one of them can fight for you,” he replied.

“275,958, it’s a lot more than I had anticipated,” Prince Mureya stroked his chin. This number had indeed surprised him. He remembered that when he was in the Titan Islands, the combined number of giants under his command of all types and age groups was just over 100,000.

But now, he had as many as 275,958 adult Giants under his command. It was a breathtaking quantity. An adult Cloud Giant is of Gold Rank, and all these Giants have been enhanced by Mureya’s bloodline radiation.

However, those nearly ten thousand Cloud Giants who had been with Mureya the longest started exhibiting some abnormal phenomena due to long-term exposure to the aura of Mureya’s bloodline, such as hair discoloration and scaling. They were no longer normal Giants.

But compared to the benefits of breaking free from the shackles of the bloodline, these abnormal phenomena were trivial. What really troubled the Giants was that no matter how hard they tried, the probability that Giantesses become pregnant was decreasing year by year. Other than that, everything was perfect.

“Recruit two hundred thousand Giants. After a year, accompany me to the Void,” Mureya commanded. “Giants who are underage or elderly do not qualify and must stay put on Xena Pus. You will finalize the list, Terence, and choose all the participants within three days.”

“As you wish.” The Storm Giant Leader complied and went off to start preparations. He needed to gather all the other Giant Leaders and assign tasks.

“Cynthia!” Mureya looked at the Red Dragon who called herself the commander of the Punishment Legion. “Tell me, how many Five Colored Dragons do you have under your command?”

“Counting me, there are 393 in total. Among them, 24 are Mage Dragons.”

“Hmm,” Mureya nodded. So far, he had journeyed through five subcontinents. Red Dragon Renata stayed on the Osroni Continent. On the Depluson Continent where he currently resided, White Dragon Clodia lead six White Dragons to stay and develop locally instead of returning to Xena Pus. This was something Mureya and the Academic Overlord Dragon had agreed on.

As for the over 300 dragons under Cynthia’s command, they were the Mage Dragons adopted by her after Mureya had made a start on the Ionian Continent. They found joy in being Dragon Masters, especially when they shared the pain that Mureya had imposed on them with their kin. This delight deeply bewitched these brutal creatures.

“How many dragons are there above Gold Rank?”

“125, the rest are underage dragons and juvenile dragons,” answered Cynthia. Currently, the food in Xena Pus was exceptionally good. Especially under the fair system that distributed resources based on ability and contributions, the juvenile dragons could enjoy the taste of Legendary Flesh from time to time.

“Alright, all these Dragons must participate in this war,” Mureya didn’t need to ask whether the Dragons were willing to or not. He didn’t believe their natural instincts would allow them to resist the temptation to plunder the world’s resources.

“By the way, I brought your sister back,” Mureya seemed to remember something and opened his semi-plane, letting out six pig dragons.

Therefore, when Jessica led the other five pig dragons to fly leisurely out, the administrators of Xena Pus were all stunned. What kind of special dragon creature was this?

“Is this a dragon?” Cynthia looked down at her slim, proportionate dragon body that possessed a savage kind of beauty, then gazed at the six “pigs” that had dragon horns and dragon wings in front of her.

“Big sister, it’s me!” Jessica called out to her older sibling, while waving the wings that could barely lift her body. The reason why she could fly was due to the spell she had cast.

No matter what the Red Dragon sisters were chatting about or reminiscing, Mureya turned his gaze to Ancient Green Dragon Fiona. “Prepare the supplies for the legion’s expedition and speed up the production of Steel Golem, but don’t sell them anymore.”

“Or, send someone to bring Troy from the Lockman Kingdom and Yingdila back. I need them for this war.”

Muria issued commands one after another, and the whole of Xena Pus gradually got busy according to his will…

…

“I really envy your father, he can participate in the Void Conquest without even applying.” On a cloud island in Xena Pus, a green dragon was lazing in a tree crown twisted by magic, looking at a somewhat gloomy Cloud Giant teenager. Next to him, there were also two curious dragon-changed Griffins, they were the pets of the Cloud Giant teenager.

“What’s there to envy? I heard from my mother that the Void is full of dangers everywhere. If you’re not careful, you could die. Besides, there are many powerful demons in the different world.” The Cloud Giant teenager’s face was full of worry. “Participating in the Void War, my father might die! I don’t want to lose my father.”

“What are you thinking?” This green dragon had a strong spirit-light and magic, which were clearly unmatched with its race and age. It extended a claw and patted the Cloud Giant teenager on the shoulder,
“The Void isn’t as dangerous as you think, you should know, I’ve applied three times to participate in the Void War to Sister Cynthia, but all of them were rejected. Told me to stay put.”

“War can lead to death…”

“Indeed, those human baldies were right, the next generation of Xena Pus is living too leisurely, even having a guy like you who fears war.”

“I’m not afraid of war, it’s just that I feel this war… is not necessary…”

“Are you stupid?” The little green dragon looked at his playmate with a strange glance. “What do you mean by an unnecessary war? Without launching wars, where would Xena Pus get resources for development? Relying on trade with human merchants, when can we truly complete the final form of Xena Pus, which is currently less than ten percent complete.

You were born in such a good time and place that you haven’t experienced the crisis where you could die in the next moment.”

“Have you experienced it?”

“Of course, I was born from an abandoned dragon egg, you can’t even imagine how hard it was for me to survive back then. The best food I had at that time was insects and rats. Sometimes when I couldn’t find food, I would gnaw tree roots and eat dirt. If it wasn’t for Fiona finding me in the jungle and bringing me here, I probably would have died long ago.

Also, when I first arrived, the Lord of Dragons was in slumber, and enemies attacked Xena Pus every day. Then, every day, Giant Warriors were falling. You were born after the Lord of Dragons had awakened, so you haven’t experienced the pain of being weak.”

“I asked my father if there was a way to avoid going to war. My father said that participating in the Void War is his responsibility and obligation. Since Prince Muria accepted and sheltered the Cloud Giants, then the Cloud Giants have the obligation to fight for him.”

“Your father still sees clearly. Where is there something in this world that only enjoys benefits without paying?” The Green Dragon sneered, his face showing resentment, “I really want to fulfill my responsibilities, and join the Void War! I’m already strong enough, why can’t I participate?”

… Time is passing. With the release of Muria’s war mobilization order, one legion of Giants after another gathered, a total of two hundred thousand Giants, plus their tamed war pets, the number exceeded Muria’s estimation, directly surpassing one million.

“It’s still not enough. Even if the number doubles, my Void fleet could still carry them all,” Muria looked at the more than five hundred neatly arranged ships in the three fleets floating next to Xena Pus and lightly sighed.

“Prince Muria, you are really amazing. You’ve got so many Void battleships from just one trip.” Looking at the Giants boarding the ships from the cloud island, the golden-haired Dragonborn Maid looked at Muria with admiration.

“It’s nothing, most of them are scout ships and destroyers, there are very few main force ships.” Muria waved his hands seemingly indifferent, but in reality, he was bleeding in his heart, he was already in debt by five hundred million, if he lost, he dare not imagine, even if he sold himself… um, perhaps he can pay off the debt.

…

“Huh! What’s this fluctuation?” An existence that was touring the starry skies and wandering between worlds turned his head with surprise. Behind him, there were thirteen rings of light rotating, emitting the power that twisted space-time.

He looked to the endless distance, where at an unknown distance, three fleets were transitioning. A Hybrid Titan with a yearning face on the central fleet caught his attention.

“How odd, such a young boy has ran into the Void, it’s too early! What nonsense!”
