The Empire's Attitude

The Empire's third military planet, Konot Planet. At that moment, a powerful general pushed open the door and walked into the room.

"Everyone, you've received the latest intelligence, right? The Imperial Research Institute conducted a special study of the Lothar Alliance's Super Gene Potion and obtained some of its data."

There were quite a few people seated around the conference table. Upon hearing the general's words, they all began discussing it among themselves.

"This Super Gene Potion has a certain chance of accelerating the growth of Gene Warriors. Although it affects intelligence and other areas to some extent, we can bring it under our control. In the future, the Empire will have another secret weapon!"

"We just received the intelligence. The Lothar Alliance actually used Cosmic Creatures produced by the Super Gene Potion to withstand Brook's attack."

"Although Brook isn't particularly strong among those at Apocalypse Level, he is still an Apocalypse Level combatant!"

"They actually managed to withstand him head-on!"

Everyone talked over one another, discussing the matter of the Super Gene Potion.

The general who had entered first frowned at the sight. He then said, "Everyone, quiet!"

Upon hearing the general's words, everyone promptly shut their mouths, and the conference room became utterly silent.

Everyone watched the general with solemn expressions.

This man was far beyond an ordinary general. He was General Xier, one of the Empire's 36 Pillars.

His combat power had reached Apocalypse Level long ago. Although he rarely took action nowadays, no one doubted General Xier's strength.

Xier swept his gaze across the council chamber and slowly said, "The Empire's higher-ups have already reached a decision on this matter."

"We are preparing to... head to the Bander Starfield and seize the Super Gene Technology for ourselves. If the Free Federation obtains this technology, it will likely lead to a series of unnecessary problems in the future!"

Although the Free Federation and the Empire were not enemy nations, competition between them in certain fields was unavoidable.

Their military forces also clashed from time to time, so the Empire naturally did not want to see the Federation gain control of another emerging technology.

"The other side has an Apocalypse Level combatant. We can simply send two of our own to crush them into the ground!"

Xier spoke loudly.

After hearing Xier's words, the people in the conference room wore various expressions.

A female officer stood up and asked, "General Xier, public opinion will not be favorable on this matter. We can only proceed in secret, but... many Temporary Armies near the Bander Starfield have already witnessed the outbreak of the superpowered incident. I'm worried that the Temporary Army's mouths... won't be easy to control!"

Upon hearing the officer's words, everyone in the conference room turned their gazes toward her, and a strange glint appeared in their eyes.

What the female officer had said was indeed a very serious issue.

The entire universe now harbored intense hostility toward the Lothar Alliance's Super Gene Technology and Super Virus.

If the Empire wanted to take control of this technology, it definitely could not publicize the matter on a large scale. Otherwise, it would easily provoke public dissatisfaction.

The regular army had signed Confidentiality Agreements, so no one was particularly worried about them spreading the matter. Even if it did get out, there were corresponding ways to deal with it.

The Temporary Army, however, had few restraints. After it disbanded, all the soldiers in it might scatter in every direction, making it impossible to trace or manage them.

If someone posted this matter online, it would become a real headache!

A sharp glint flashed through General Xier's eyes, and he sneered. "Everyone here has walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Do we really need to worry about such a trivial matter?"

"It's very simple. Dispatch two armies. One will seize the Super Gene Technology, while the other will silence the witnesses!"

General Xier spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing General Xier's words, no one showed any surprise.

It was exactly what they had expected.

The Temporary Army was, in plain terms, no different from a civilian irregular army.

For an army like that, even if it were completely wiped out, the Empire would not feel the slightest pain.

Besides, no one was afraid of causing trouble.

Those capable of joining the Temporary Army usually had no connections or influence behind them.

Otherwise, they would have been placed directly in the regular army.

Those people could be killed without consequence. No one would care.

"Fine. We don't need to pay special attention to these Temporary Armies. Their average army combat power doesn't exceed the mid-level of Level 7. We can simply dispatch fifty Level 7 Mecha Warriors and complete the mission with ease!"

An officer stood up. He was the commander responsible for low-level Mecha Warriors. After hearing this, he immediately pushed open the door and strode out with decisive efficiency.

Soon, a warship rose directly into the air, carrying fifty Level 7 Mecha Warriors as it flew into the starry sky.

At that moment, a large number of soldiers were crowded outside Su Ming's dormitory aboard Temporary Army No. 32's spacecraft.

This time, however, they were not there to ask Su Ming to repair their mechas. They had come for Warren!

Over the past two days, Su Ming had faced a huge number of mechanical repair orders as soon as he woke up. Seeing all those orders, he had handed them over to Warren for repairs.

He still had to repair his own mecha and simply did not have time to repair any more mechanical equipment.

Unexpectedly, Warren's repairs were also quite effective. During these ten-plus days, the boy had continuously exchanged military merits for various kinds of mechanical repair knowledge.

As a result, his mechanical skills had improved substantially, and his repair methods had gradually diverged from Su Ming's.

Su Ming was quite pleased by this.

If Warren continued learning mechanical knowledge from him, he would merely walk the same path as Su Ming in the future and could never develop anything of his own.

Now that Warren had broadened his knowledge, he was already doing a decent job, and even the soldiers were highly satisfied.

Su Ming took out a brand-new component and began dismantling it with practiced movements.

His expression was focused as he automatically entered a state of complete concentration.

Although his mecha had not been hit directly in that battle, constantly maneuvering among all kinds of energy beams had still placed a burden on it.

Some hidden damage had already appeared inside the mecha. Although it did not affect operation, if it was not repaired in time, the mecha's lifespan would likely be affected.

After experiencing that thrilling battle, Su Ming had pushed his Brain Domain Level to its absolute limit.

As a result, his Brain Domain Level had easily achieved a massive breakthrough.

At that moment, Su Ming's Brain Domain Level had soared directly from its original 5,000 points to 7,000.

A Brain Domain Level of 7,000 was already at the mid-level of Level 5. Combined with his mecha and Starlight Points, it could probably unleash terrifying strength at the upper level of Level 7.

As for Su Ming's Physical Level... it had instead become the factor holding him back.

It was only 5,200, barely enough to break into the range of a low-level Level 5 Gene Warrior...

Su Ming smiled bitterly. Other people were troubled by how to increase their Brain Domain Level, while he was troubled by how to raise his Physical Level.
