Chapter 944 Black Sheep

Chapter 944 Black Sheep

Dealing with the Lords of the Divine Alliances was a little problematic. The Lords were Divine Lifeforms and several hundred years old. Some were even older and should have been knowledgeable and thus understanding of their situation. Unfortunately, Divine Lifeforms were also known for being prideful. In fact, even Higher Lifeforms, especially young Higher Lifeforms with above-average talent, were arrogant and unnecessarily prideful.

Crushing their pride might not be the best solution, but it was certainly the most time-efficient way to become their Lord. If crushing their pride didn't work, and they were to turn against him...they would have to die.

Michael didn't want to kill them as they worked together to defeat the Dragys, but he was not a pushover either. If they wished to fight him, Michael would jump into battle right away.

Black Sheep stared at Michael, his eyes widened in terror. His lips parted, but no word escaped his lips. The paralyzation of the Beast God poison started working.

His body was torn apart. First, his skin peeled, revealing bubbling flesh which splashed in all directions. His bubbling flesh revealed his corroding veins, arteries, energy paths, and organs. His organs were still fine, but they splattered apart or peeled like his skin once the disintegration beam reached these areas.

Michael raised an eyebrow at the gruesome death, but he didn't feel any regret. The disintegration beam had been prepared for him. He would have died - or maybe not - if he had been struck by the disintegration beam instead. Percy released a Qi Sword to pierce Black Sheep's throat, which earned him the energy influx and death portion of the Divine Lifeform. He wouldn't waste tens of thousands of SoulStar Fragments and a great Soultrait Symbol by leaving Black Sheep like this.

"I would have spared him, but he attacked me first. Keep in mind that I protected my life. If not for that, I would have kept him alive and exiled his fat ass out of the Untamed Jungle. I won't force anyone to stay here. I can help everyone move out, but I think it would be best to stay together and work on the Untamed Jungle's growth. The Untamed Jungle has a Divinity, a massive mana vein that had once supported a Primal Region, and the perfect conditions to reclaim its former glory with centuries of dedicated work and progress."

Michael didn't need everyone to stay, but if the Divine Alliances stayed, he might as well expand his business by adding dozens of races. Now that he claimed the Grand Region, he could expand his trading business drastically. He would need more workers and resources to establish a few dozen Pentagon Forts or similar structures around the Untamed Jungle's resource deposits, but that was hardly a problem. Michael had acquired a decent amount of resources from the Dragys Settlements and the Dragys corpses. He was bound to have enough to do whatever he wanted, especially with his business with the Thorn Merchandise. He could sell them a few more powerful Soultrait Symbols, probably a dozen or two, and acquire everything he needed to spread his Pentagon Forts all across the Grand Region. Or most of it, at least.

It wasn't like Michael was bad with economics, but his fort was combat and training. Maybe negotiating was something he was decent, but it wasn't like he was an expert with decades of experience.
