1761 The Outer Battlefield Surging Hell
Big behemoths always kept an eye over each other, to notice any big business chance for them. And he hoped he'd get noticed and marked as such.
Hye planned to take this time and rest while waiting for either someone to message him or that dude from that impact to return back with news.
But after one week, he didn't get any message from either the man or anyone else and received a new message from someone else.
The third opportunity just presented itself to him on a golden plate!
[Warning! The outer battlefield surging hell is upon us! Make sure you stay away from there!] novelbin
Without any warning, such a message popped up in front of him just minutes before he'd go to sleep. At the same time, a weird voice echoed in the entire ship. It didn't just appear in his ship, but in all the other ships as well.
"What's going on?" This wasn't the first time for Hye to experience such a thing. Before the shooting star outbreak happened, he also got such a warning.
[We investigated, and it seemed this is a common thing in this area] Lily responded after one hour, as Hye asked her to dig deeper about the root of such repeated things.
[And?] [According to the workers who lived here for a long time, they believe this is some sort of a helping system to warn anyone near the outer battlefield of such a scary phenomenon]
[Scary? How?!] Hye got interested instantly the moment he read what Lily sent.
Yet this wasn't just what made him quite excited. He thought of something else, about the grand number of forces coming here, entrapped in their spaceships for long months.
They were like sitting ducks. He had a way to slaughter them, but also a way to turn them all into his forces. Even if the cube wasn't working properly right now, he had something else that he could use.
"I tried to use my techniques before, and they had tons of limitations. In a real battle, it's useless to use them. But against sitting ducks... Hehehe!"
He laughed evilly when he thought about this. His thread technique was his cornerstone when used to bind others to him using contracts. Unlike how he used these back in the apocalypse, the threads would grow small and short, not expanding and proliferating crazily like before.
He knew he needed to raise his cultivation base first to overcome such limits. But there wasn't an option for him to do this in the short term.
It was expected that he would get excited when he heard about all this. First, he'd attack many enemies, kill tons of forces, and claim ships. Then he'd try to use this to scare few to willingly join his side. If they resisted, he'd use his technique to force them to follow him.
Yet before he'd grow excited about this, he needed to see first how huge this chance was. According to the words from the workers, the ships shoved away from the outer battlefield didn't have a fixed number.
It totally depended on the amount of fleets fighting in the outer region of that place. And that meant it was all subjected to luck.
[I've sent lots of ships out to scout as you asked... But isn't it a bit risky? You do know many of these ships belong to the giants in the universe!] Lily sent him, trying to dissuade him from doing what he intended.
[No one can blame me for this, plus we are on our own from the beginning. Why should I care about those who didn't want to help us, even tried to take us down many times already?]
Hye knew she had a point in worrying over other forces. But this wasn't like he was openly going against these forces. First and foremost of all, this was the outer battlefield. It was normal for tons of fleets to get destroyed and killed.
