Atkin bowed deeply, his head nearly touching the cold floor.
"Master, I have already followed your instructions and prepared to run for the First Speaker of the HR Alliance."
"Do you truly not intend to take this opportunity to unify the various powers of Earth?"
As he looked up, one could see that Atkin's eyes were filled with fanaticism—the look of a devout believer beholding the deity in his heart.
"Unify Earth?"
Su Zhe shook his head slightly.
Setting aside the question of what the point of doing so would be.
The mere existence of Luo Feng beneath the Pacific Ocean was not something Su Zhe could deal with right now; Su Zhe preferred to leverage Luo Feng's strength to leave Earth and explore the universe.
At this moment, it was already the second day since Su Zhe had enslaved Atkin.
As time passed, that suppression originating from the bloodline made Atkin hold Su Zhe in immense reverence, a feeling akin to a Zerg warrior encountering a Zerg Queen.
Although it was not soul enslavement, it was no less effective.
"There is no need for that."
"You are to consolidate the power of the HR Alliance first. When necessary, you may directly purge those noble families and take absolute control of the entire alliance's strength. Tell them that in this era, raw power is the only true path."
Su Zhe instructed Atkin.
The HR Alliance was far too chaotic internally.
Su Zhe couldn't be bothered to manage it, so leaving it to Atkin was for the best.
"Additionally..."
"Once you have integrated the forces of the HR Alliance, arrange a live broadcast."
Su Zhe said slowly.
"A live broadcast?"
Atkin was somewhat puzzled. A broadcast of what?
"Of the two great Beast Emperors on Earth, Luo Feng killed the Octopus Beast Emperor back then, but there is still a Thunder Dragon Emperor lurking in the ocean. Although the monsters suffered heavy casualties after the battle with the Devourer Beast, their recovery speed and numbers are not something humans can compare to."
"And I will personally take action to finish off the Thunder Dragon Emperor."
As Su Zhe spoke, Atkin beside him seemed to understand something and nodded excitedly.
"Rest assured, Master. Everything is on me! I will definitely make you a hero of humanity!" Atkin exclaimed excitedly.
"?"
Su Zhe glanced at Atkin; he had a nagging feeling that Atkin had misunderstood something.
He only wanted to display his strength to deter the various nations and, incidentally, use it as leverage for a deal with Luo Feng.
Forget it, it didn't matter.
"Then I leave it to you."
Su Zhe patted Atkin on the shoulder.
The Thunder Dragon Emperor, if he remembered correctly, was a Planetary Level six or seven monster. Su Zhe was currently only at Planetary Level one; he planned to hunt some King Level Beasts first to increase his strength, and once he was strong enough, he would go find trouble with that Thunder Dragon Emperor.
In any case, it wouldn't take long.
"Arrange a fighter jet for me as well."
Su Zhe suddenly remembered; with a jet, he wouldn't have to fly himself.
"Understood! Thank you for your trust, Master! I will immediately arrange the fastest fighter jet for you!"
Atkin bowed to accept the order, his figure quickly disappearing outside the door.
He was now completely a fanatical believer of Su Zhe; even if Su Zhe ordered him to die, he would execute it without hesitation.
After fusing with the Blacklight Virus, beyond the increase in his strength, the most critical aspect was that Atkin had also opened up a path of evolution.
Although he could not wantonly devour and evolve or continuously optimize his genes like Su Zhe.
He could still increase his strength through feeding and devouring.
Compared to slow cultivation, devouring was much faster.
The near one-hundred-percent utilization rate of resources alone was already a massive gain.
After leaving Atkin's side, Su Zhe began to search for those King Level Beasts hidden on land.
There were quite a number of King Level Beasts on Earth.
Even though a large number of monsters had died in the battle against the Devourer Beast, the batch that perished back then consisted mostly of ocean monsters; land monsters had participated in a smaller proportion. In some remote wilderness areas, it was still quite simple to find traces of King Level Beasts.
For instance.
Su Zhe came directly to Africa.
This land had been poorly developed even before the Great Nirvana, with little urban coverage and, consequently, a high number of monsters.
The vast wilderness had become the perfect petri dish for monsters.
It would also become the best hunting ground for Su Zhe.
On the African savanna.
Su Zhe walked through the center of the grasslands as if no one else were around, with a massive pride of lions not far away.
These were Silver Lions, a powerful species of monster that reached Lord Level upon reaching adulthood; they were the overlords of the African savanna and had a high probability of producing King Level beasts.
At this moment, these Silver Lions had surrounded Su Zhe, yet not a single beast dared to approach him. Intimidated by the powerful pressure radiating from his body, they left a hundred-meter radius of empty space around him.
"Roar!"
Finally, a Planetary Level Silver Lion, seemingly the leader of the pride, could no longer restrain itself and lunged at Su Zhe to bite him!
"Clang!"
A layer of Black Flame Scale Armor manifested over Su Zhe's body, and he took the Silver Lion's claw strike head-on without budging an inch.
After breaking through to the Planetary Level, Su Zhe no longer needed to distinguish between his various forms; he could alter his physical state at will.
Forms like the high-defense Fire Scale Form and Rock Armor Form had been combined by Su Zhe into one.
Coupled with the Black God Suit, those capable of piercing Su Zhe's defenses head-on at the same level could be counted on one hand.
This Silver Lion was clearly not among those capable of breaking his defense.
"Slash!"
Su Zhe's right hand transformed into a blade, and with a single strike, he severed the head of the Silver Lion.
[Devoured a Planetary Level Tier 3 monster, gained 4 Devour Points]
[Martial Artist rank increased: Planetary Level Tier 2]
After reaching the Planetary Level, the Devour Points gained from consuming monsters no longer increased point by point, but rather in multiples.
This was something Su Zhe had only discovered after arriving on the African continent.
This development solved Su Zhe's dilemma.
Perhaps gathering 1,000,000 Devour Points was not as difficult as he had imagined.
Perhaps by devouring some Stellar Level or Universe Level monsters, he would be able to scrape together those one million Devour Points.
In the cultivation system of Swallowed Star, the gap in strength between each minor realm was roughly twofold; perhaps the acquisition of Devour Points was related to this, but whether that was truly the case would require killing more monsters to test.
After devouring that Silver Lion, Su Zhe set his sights on the pride, but those Silver Lions had already begun to flee into the distance.
"Whoosh!"
Su Zhe erupted into motion instantly, killing and devouring all the Planetary Level Silver Lions that were trying to escape amidst the pride!
This was a one-sided slaughter.
Ordinary Planetary Level monsters could not last a single round against Su Zhe at this stage.
As for those Apprentice Level monsters, Su Zhe let them go.
Now, only Planetary Level monsters held enough appeal for him.
While killing Apprentice Level monsters was effortless, it yielded absolutely no gains.
