Atkin bent deeply at the waist, his head nearly touching the cold floor.
"Master, I've prepared to run for First Speaker of the HR Alliance, as you instructed."
"Are you really not going to use this opportunity to unite all the major powers on Earth?"
As he lifted his head, Atkin's eyes shone with fervor—the look of a devout believer gazing upon the god in his heart.
"Unite Earth?"
Su Zhe shook his head slightly.
Setting aside what he would gain from doing so,
just Luo Feng beneath the Pacific Ocean was already more than Su Zhe could handle right now. Su Zhe would rather rely on Luo Feng's strength to leave Earth and explore the universe.
It was now the second day since Su Zhe had enslaved Atkin.
As time passed, the suppression stemming from their bloodlines made Atkin revere Su Zhe more and more. It was like a Zerg Warrior standing before the Zerg Queen.
Though it wasn't Soul Enslavement, it was no less powerful.
"There's no need."
"First, consolidate the HR Alliance's power. When necessary, you can purge those powerful families outright and bring the entire alliance firmly under your control. Tell them that in this era, strength is what matters."
Su Zhe gave Atkin his instructions.
The HR Alliance was far too chaotic internally.
Su Zhe couldn't be bothered to manage it, so he would leave it to Atkin.
"Also..."
"Once you've consolidated the HR Alliance's forces, arrange a livestream."
Su Zhe spoke slowly.
"A livestream?"
Atkin looked confused. What was he supposed to livestream?
"There are two Beast Emperors on Earth. Luo Feng killed the Octopus Beast Emperor, but the Thunder Dragon Emperor is still lurking in the ocean. The monsters suffered heavy casualties during the Devourer Beast incident, but they recover faster and vastly outnumber humanity."
"And I'll personally take down the Thunder Dragon Emperor."
As Su Zhe spoke, Atkin seemed to understand. He nodded excitedly.
"Don't worry, Master. Leave everything to me! I'll make sure you become a hero of humanity!" Atkin said fervently.
"?"
Su Zhe glanced at Atkin. He had a feeling Atkin had misunderstood something.
He just wanted to demonstrate his strength and intimidate the various countries, then use that as leverage in a deal with Luo Feng.
Whatever. It didn't matter.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Su Zhe patted Atkin on the shoulder.
If he remembered correctly, the Thunder Dragon Emperor was a Planetary Level Six or Seven monster. Su Zhe was only Planetary Level One right now. He planned to hunt some King Level Beasts to increase his strength, then go after the Thunder Dragon Emperor once he was strong enough.
It wouldn't take long anyway.
"Also, arrange a fighter jet for me."
Su Zhe suddenly remembered. With a fighter jet, he wouldn't have to fly there himself.
"Understood! Thank you for trusting me, Master! I'll arrange the fastest fighter jet for you right away!"
Atkin bowed and accepted the order, then quickly disappeared through the doorway.
He was now Su Zhe's fanatical believer. Even if Su Zhe told him to die, he would carry out the order without hesitation.
After fusing with the Blacklight Virus, Atkin had gained more than just strength. More importantly, he had also embarked upon a path of evolution.
He couldn't devour and evolve as freely as Su Zhe did, constantly optimizing his genes.
But he could increase his strength by eating and devouring.
That was much faster than cultivating slowly.
The fact that he could make almost one hundred percent use of resources alone made it well worth it.
After leaving Atkin, Su Zhe began searching for the King Level Beasts hidden across the land.
There were quite a few King Level Beasts on Earth.
Even though a large number of monsters had died during the Devourer Beast incident, most of the ones killed had been ocean monsters. Land monsters had made up a much smaller proportion. It was still easy to find King Level Beasts in some remote wilderness areas.
For example,
Su Zhe went straight to Africa.
Even before the Great Nirvana, this land had been poorly developed, with few cities and a correspondingly large monster population.
Its vast wilderness had become the perfect breeding ground for monsters.
It would also become Su Zhe's perfect hunting ground.
On the African savanna,
Su Zhe walked through the middle of the grassland as if no one else were there. Not far away stood a massive pride of lions.
They were Silver Lions, a powerful monster species. They reached Lord Level upon adulthood and ruled the African savanna. They also had a high chance of producing King Level Beasts.
The Silver Lions surrounded Su Zhe, yet not one dared approach. The powerful pressure radiating from him held them back, leaving a hundred-meter-wide clearing around him.
"Roar!"
At last, a Planetary Level Silver Lion—apparently the pride's leader—could no longer hold back and lunged at Su Zhe!
"Clang!"
A layer of Black Flame Scale Armor appeared over Su Zhe's body. He took the Silver Lion's blow head-on without budging an inch.
After reaching Planetary Level, Su Zhe no longer had to distinguish between his various forms. He could change his body's shape at will.
He had combined his most defensive forms, Fire Scale Form and Rock Armor Form.
Together with the Black God Suit, very few opponents of the same level could break through Su Zhe's defenses head-on.
This Silver Lion clearly wasn't one of them.
"Rip!"
Su Zhe's right hand became a blade, and with one slash, he severed the Silver Lion's head.
[Devoured Planetary Level Three monster, gained 4 Devour Points] [Warrior Level increased: Planetary Level Two]
After reaching Planetary Level, the Devour Points gained from devouring monsters no longer increased one point at a time. Instead, they increased by multiples.
Su Zhe had only discovered this after arriving on the African continent.
That solved a problem that had been troubling him.
Perhaps one million Devour Points wouldn't be as hard to gather as he'd imagined.
Maybe devouring some Star Level or Universe Level monsters would be enough to reach one million Devour Points.
In the Swallowed Star cultivation system, the difference in strength between each minor realm was about twofold. Perhaps that was related to how Devour Points were gained, though he would have to kill more monsters to test the theory.
After devouring the Silver Lion, Su Zhe turned his gaze toward the pride. The Silver Lions had already started fleeing into the distance.
"Whoosh!"
Su Zhe sprang into action, killing and devouring several Planetary Level Silver Lions that were fleeing among the pride!
It was a one-sided slaughter.
Ordinary Planetary Level monsters couldn't last a single round against Su Zhe now.
As for the Apprentice Level monsters, Su Zhe let them go.
At this point, only Planetary Level monsters were worth his attention.
Killing Apprentice Level monsters took little effort, but gave him nothing in return.
