The reality of the energy shortage greatly diluted the joy and excitement Saine had felt after creating the first Level-4 robot.
The Magic Cube's energy reserves had already reached their limit. This was something that could have been foreseen long ago.
At present, the Magic Cube not only had to supply energy to the vast legion of low-level robots stored within it and the Combined Fortress Group.
It also needed to replenish the energy consumed by Saine, Fumila, Gongsun Wudi, and the others in the Despair World.
Especially the latter. The energy consumed by three Level-6 Creatures was even greater than that required by the Combined Fortress Group in standby mode.
Recently, Saine had also begun manufacturing experiments for high-level Intelligent Robots of Level 4 and above.
With large numbers of heavy production lines put into operation, it was only to be expected that the Magic Cube's energy reserves would be unable to keep up with expenditure.
If he were in the Star Realm, Saine could easily obtain vast quantities of Energy Crystals to sustain his experiments and cultivation.
War was, at its core, a contest of resources!
By swallowing up the Galente Federation, Wizard Civilization had obtained enormous quantities of energy blocks, along with the Federation's energy-production technology.
At present, energy was the one thing they lacked least.

Nor did he have fat sheep like the Galente Federation that he could slaughter at will.
The several battles they had experienced before showed that even Level-4 and Level-5 Creatures, after surviving in the Despair World for long enough, became exceptionally tough Hard Bones to crack.
