The Empire's Attitude

On the Empire's third military planet, Konot Planet, a general with a powerful aura pushed open the room door and walked in.

"Everyone, you've received the latest intelligence, right? The Empire's research institute has specifically studied the Lothar Alliance's super gene potion and obtained some of its data."

Quite a few people were seated at the conference table in the room at this moment. Upon hearing the general's words, they couldn't help but start discussing amongst themselves.

"This super gene potion has a certain probability of accelerating the growth of Gene Warriors. Although it has some impact on intelligence and other aspects, if we can control it, the Empire will have a secret weapon in the future!"

"Just received intel, the Lothar Alliance actually managed to repel Brook's attack using cosmic creatures spawned by the super gene potion."

"Even though Brook isn't particularly strong among Apocalypse Level beings, that's still an Apocalypse Level combat power!"

"They actually managed to repel him!"

Everyone was chattering, discussing the matter of the super gene potion.

The general who had entered first frowned upon seeing this and then spoke, "Everyone, quiet down!"

Hearing the general's words, everyone quickly shut their mouths, and the conference room became utterly silent.

Everyone looked at the general with solemn expressions.

This person was no ordinary general; he was General Xier, one of the Empire's 36 Pillars.

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

Xier scanned the council hall and then slowly said, "The Empire's higher-ups have already made a decision on this matter."

"We plan to... go 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 troubles in the future!"

Although the Free Federation and the Empire were not enemies, competition in certain fields was inevitable.

Clashes between their military forces were also common, so the Empire naturally did not want to see the Federation master another emerging technology.

"The other side has an Apocalypse Level being; we'll send two of our own to crush them!"

Xier said loudly.

Upon hearing Xier's words, the expressions of those in the conference room varied.

A female officer stood up and asked, "General Xier, the public opinion on this matter isn't good. We can only proceed secretly, but... near the Bander Starfield, many temporary troops have already witnessed the outbreak of super gene incidents. I'm worried... the temporary troops might not be tight-lipped!"

Hearing the officer's words, everyone in the conference room turned their gaze towards her, their eyes showing a hint of surprise.

What this female officer said was indeed a very serious issue.

Currently, the entire universe had a strong sense of revulsion towards the Lothar Alliance's super gene technology or super gene virus.

If the Empire wanted to control this technology, it certainly couldn't publicize it widely, as it would easily arouse public dissatisfaction.

Formal military personnel had signed Confidentiality Agreements, so they weren't too worried about them leaking information. Even if something did leak, there were corresponding solutions.

However... temporary troops had fewer restrictions. Once disbanded, all the soldiers in that temporary army might scatter, making them untraceable and unmanageable.

If someone were to post this matter online, it would be a huge problem!

A sharp glint flashed in General Xier's eyes, and he sneered, "None of you here have survived without wading through seas of blood. Do you still need to worry about such a trivial matter?"

"It's simple: dispatch two armies. One to seize the super gene technology, and the other to silence the witnesses!"

General Xier said calmly.

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

This was consistent with what everyone had expected.

Temporary troops, to put it bluntly, were no different from scattered civilian forces.

The Empire wouldn't bat an eye even if such an army were completely wiped out.

Furthermore, no one was afraid of causing trouble.

Those who could join temporary armies usually had no connections or backing.

Otherwise, they would have been directly assigned to the formal military.

These people, if killed, would be killed without anyone caring.

"Alright, we don't need to pay special attention to these temporary troops. Their average combat strength doesn't exceed mid-Level 7. We can directly dispatch 50 Level 7 Mecha Warriors, and the mission will be easily completed!"

A military officer stood up. He was the general in charge of low-level mecha warriors. Upon hearing this, he directly pushed open the door and strode out with decisive steps.

Soon, a warship took off, leading 50 Level 7 Mecha Warriors into the starry sky.

At this moment, on the spaceship of Temporary Army No. 32, a large number of soldiers were crowding the entrance to Su Ming's dormitory.

However, this time, they weren't looking for Su Ming to repair mechas; they were looking for Warren!

After Su Ming woke up these past two days, he was swamped with mechanical repair orders. Seeing so many orders, Su Ming, with a headache, handed them over to Warren for repair.

He himself still had to repair his own mecha and had no time to fix more mechanical equipment.

Unexpectedly, Warren's repair results were also quite good. Over the past ten-plus days, this kid had continuously exchanged Military Merit for various mechanical repair knowledge.

His mechanical skill had significantly improved as a result, and his repair methods were subtly diverging from Su Ming's.

Su Ming was quite pleased with this.

If Warren only learned mechanical knowledge from him, he would only be following his path and would never be able to possess anything of his own.

Now, with his extensive knowledge, he worked with impressive skill, much to the satisfaction of the soldiers.

Su Ming took out a brand-new component and began to disassemble it skillfully.

His expression was focused, and he automatically entered a state of complete absorption.

In this battle, although his mecha hadn't been directly hit, constantly maneuvering through various energy rays had still put a strain on it.

The mecha's interior had already sustained some hidden damage. While it didn't affect piloting, if not repaired promptly, the mecha's lifespan would likely be impacted.

After an earth-shattering battle, Su Ming's Brain Domain Level had erupted to its absolute limit during the fight.

Therefore, Su Ming's Brain Domain Level easily achieved a massive breakthrough.

At this moment, Su Ming's Brain Domain Level had surged directly from its previous 5000 points to the 7000-point range.

A Brain Domain Level of 7000 points was already considered mid-level five, and when combined with his mecha and Starlight Points, it could likely unleash terrifying combat power equivalent to high-level seven.

However, Su Ming's Physical Level... had now become the bottleneck.

It was only 5200, just barely breaking through the category of a low-level five Gene Warrior...

Su Ming gave a wry smile. Others worried about how to increase their Brain Domain Level, but he was troubled by how to elevate his Physical Level.
