"This feed really is extraordinary!" Kazer nodded with satisfaction, then instructed Tasong, "Check my battle power for me."
At that, Tasong immediately pulled a battle tester from his clothes and carefully put it on.
An electronic chime sounded, and Kazer's battle power appeared clearly on the tester. "Lord Kazer, your battle power has now reached fifty thousand—an increase of five thousand from before!"
Kazer rubbed his chin, confidence gleaming in his eyes. "Excellent. It seems Earth really is the key to our revival. Give me a few more years, and once I've absorbed more of this 'feed' from here, combined with the sixtyfold increase in battle power after I transform, the throne of emperor of this universe will be mine! That arrogant Frieza will eventually kneel at my feet!"
Before he had finished speaking, hearty laughter echoed through space. Kazer, Tasong, Kasang, and the other Scale-Head Star People exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with boundless hope and anticipation for the future.
"Kasang, where did you get such perfect feed?" Kazer asked, a note of urgency in his voice.
Kasang replied respectfully, "I happened upon it on this planet. Before I set out, Lord Tasong strictly ordered me to test the feed's quality on different planets. I came across this precious sample by chance through a human trafficker on this planet!"
A sharp glint flashed in Kazer's eyes, and he quickly followed up. "Did you keep the human trafficker's contact information? I need to get more feed like this from him!"
Kasang shook his head, a mysterious smile on his face. "There's no need to contact him, my lord. After investigating further, I discovered a more direct and efficient method!"
"What method?" Tasong and Kazer asked almost in unison, their curiosity thoroughly piqued.
"Find women on this planet and have them produce feed by mating with us." Kasang's words were calm, but they exploded like thunder in the other two's minds.
Tasong furrowed his brow, clearly surprised by the suggestion. "Is it really that simple? But what does that have to do with the feed?"
Kasang explained, "My lord, this is the conclusion I reached after conducting experiments on this planet. The women of Earth seem to share some kind of strange resonance with us. When they mate with us, the offspring they conceive naturally contain a special energy within their bodies. That energy is the perfect source of the feed we need. What's more, feed produced this way is far purer and more potent than anything we've had before!"
Tasong said, "Then arrange for more women from this planet to come here as soon as possible. It's time to pave the way for our Scale-Head Clan to rule the universe. The main body of our people will arrive shortly!"
Kasang replied, "Yes. I'll make the arrangements at once!"
Kazer suddenly burst into laughter. "Heh heh heh! In just a few more years, the time for us Scale-Head Star People to rule the universe will have come. I can already see our moment approaching!"
Tasong immediately echoed him. "Lord Kazer is right. The glorious moment for our people will arrive soon!"
Kazer patted Tasong on the shoulder and added, "Well said. But you deserve the most credit this time. If you hadn't chosen such a fine place, our moment might not have come so soon!"
Tasong replied respectfully, "You flatter me, Lord Kazer. It is my honor to make a useful contribution toward the Scale-Head Clan's domination of the universe!"
Meanwhile, in an unknown part of Earth's sky, Kasang and his squad flew at tremendous speed, clad in specially made battle suits.
"Everyone, listen up. Change your forms first and take on appearances similar to the people of Earth. We need to blend into this world without attracting attention," Kasang's voice rang out over the communicator. His squad members immediately used their abilities, their bodies and outfits changing completely in an instant until they seemed like part of the natural landscape, hard to notice.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a remote, desolate town. Most of the houses were dilapidated, and the residents' faces were etched with the hardships of life. Kasang knocked gently on the door of one house. An old man with a deeply lined face and a wary look appeared behind it.
"Knock, knock!" The light tapping broke the morning's quiet.
The old man opened the door to find a well-dressed young man with a smile on his face, holding two glittering gold coins.
"Sir, we're here looking for maids willing to work at the estate our master has just built. The conditions are excellent: two gold coins a month," Kasang said, his voice warm and persuasive, enough to sway anyone longing to change their fate.
The old man's eyes flashed with surprise and hope. He promptly agreed and quickly gathered the town's young women.
Kasang's intentions went far beyond that. He knew that this approach would not only let them recruit the people they needed quickly but also spread the word and attract more people from remote areas.
After recruiting a group, Kasang told the people of the desolate village that they could recruit others, too, for the same pay. They would also receive a small referral fee. After exchanging contact information, Kasang immediately set off again.
As they flew away from the village, one of his subordinates asked in confusion, "Lord Kasang, I don't understand. Why are we being so generous to these seemingly weak races? They're just tools to increase our strength. Helping us Scale-Head Star People grow stronger should be their honor."
Kasang smiled faintly, his gaze profound. "Power doesn't exist in isolation. It needs soil to nourish it and people's hearts to unite around it. But if we lose our reverence and respect for life, we'll eventually fall into decline. Besides, this isn't just about increasing our strength. It's also about finding a more harmonious way to coexist in this complex, ever-changing universe. And this method will attract more people much faster. Otherwise, we'd have to search for people one place at a time, which would be far less efficient!"
His subordinate understood at once, and admiration for Kasang welled up in him.
To carry out his plan smoothly, Kasang began making arrangements as they flew. "Next, we'll split up. Five of you will come with me to recruit people in West City. The other five will go separately to East City, North City, South City, and Central City to recruit people the same way. Tomorrow morning at ten, we'll take the first group back!"
