"Is that all?"
Liang Bing, who was diligently studying the stolen National Arts manual in Demon One, looked at herself, who had only understood less than one-thousandth of the National Arts, and then at the guy who was already sitting down with a confident expression, and couldn't help but doubt her life.
Although she didn't rely on the Void Universe Engine of the Demon One itself to analyze these traditional National Arts, she was still quite lucky, possessing top-tier computing power in the universe.
But I've only understood less than one-thousandth of it, how come that little devil over there has read the whole thing?
Seeing how fast he browsed through the pages, I thought he was just looking up something, but it turns out that's just his natural speed of reading and learning!
"When National Arts are mastered to a certain level, one can understand all techniques once one has mastered one. One's comprehension in this area far surpasses that of National Arts idiot like you!"
Wang Hao maintained his aloof, god-like demeanor, while unabashedly revealing an expression of disdain and contempt.
These words and this expression made the thin veins on Liang Bing's fair forehead throb again.
Who are you calling an idiot!
Clutching her Ruyu hand tightly, Liang Bing really wanted to unleash her Demon Claw and teach this little bastard a lesson.
"Don't you even have Mingdu anymore? You've really become so impure!"
Showing a hint of disappointment, Wang Hao turned to A'tuo was also watching and learning the tradition of National Arts, and instructed him, "Go and make arrangements later. Tell those scumbags that the upcoming training will be ten times more arduous and dangerous than before. Make sure they are mentally prepared."
"Isn't that a bit too harsh?"
A'tuo swallowed hard, startled by Wang Hao's words.
He had previously undergone Wang Hao's specialized training, which was absolutely horrific. Even someone like him, who was on the verge of rebuilding his Divine Body, was almost killed.
Many demon warriors couldn't withstand the strain and their bodies collapsed. They are now lying in the gene silos inside Demon One, waiting to be resurrected!
This kind of Hell training intensity is really deadly, let alone increasing it tenfold!
If things were really done that way, he didn't know how many would actually stick with it in the end.
As for his anger towards his queen, he didn't care much. He Dao Classic similar things countless times in the past few months. Every time the queen met that guy A Dan, she would get so angry that she would jump up and down.
Although she was furious, her queen never punished A Dan even once. On the contrary, she poured resources into him, so naturally nothing would happen this time.
Seeing that A'tuo and that little bastard were ignoring her discussion, Liang Bing was so angry that another vein throbbed on her forehead. She felt that being a queen was just too humiliating!
But after reflecting on the rapid improvement his underlings had made in the past few months, he could only helplessly suppress his anger.
There's no way around it; such extraordinary talents are really hard to find. At least, she used Demon One to survey the entire human race on Earth, but there wasn't a single person who could compare to her.
Perhaps only the mysterious Great Xia Human King on the Juxia could slightly surpass this kid.
"Ten times the danger is just my most conservative estimate."
I have a plan. If successful, our Demon Legion will possess its own unique power system. However, to truly establish this plan, the mortality rate will be nearly 100%. Be prepared for that!
Wang Hao maintained his aloof and handsome demeanor, but his words startled A'tuo so much that he almost jumped up, and even Liang Bing, who had just suppressed her anger, was taken aback.
"Hey, you little bastard, are you trying to kill your queen?!"
Liang Bing would never agree to such a high-risk, deadly plan. If her thousands of the Demon Legion were to perish because of it, she herself would not be at peace.
After all, there is still a Celestial King named He Xi sitting on Earth, and he has gathered two thousand battle angels under his command.
If the enemy takes advantage of this opportunity to attack, it will be difficult for her to escape.
This is too risky, we can't do it, absolutely not!
"Is there an alternative solution?"
Swallowing hard again, A'tuo cautiously offered his suggestion.
He himself did not approve of this risky plan; it was simply too dangerous.
"This National Arts heritage is indeed complete, but its energy system is too upright and incompatible with our demonic existence philosophy. If we want to keep up with Earth's humans and Angel Civilization in the future, we must create a power system that is unique to us demons based on it."
"Our two most powerful technologies, under the Queen's guidance, are genetic technology and Wormhole Transport technology. I'm not very familiar with Wormhole Transport technology; I plan to focus on developing genetic technology."
At this point, Wang Hao condensed a loose stream of energy in his palm and showed it to Morgana and A'tuo for analysis.
"Look, this is the energy I condensed using the National Arts system, called Qi and Blood. It is actually the product of the transformation and condensation of human bioenergy."
My idea is to use this vital energy as a foundation, combined with genetic technology, to create a completely new energy that can assist our Demon Gene in their continuous evolution. I will name it Demonic Energy.
However, to create something from scratch, I need a lot of experimental data, and using those junk samples is the best choice. At most, I should be able to collect enough data by dying ten or so times.
"But if you object, you can use that primordial demon to experiment, although it will be much less efficient."
Wang Hao had long anticipated that Liang Bing and A'tuo would not agree to the previous plan, so he had already prepared a backup plan, which was also the real solution.
"Those little darlings all have to be born using the bodies of you humans from Earth as vessels. Queen, I remember you said you wanted to maintain your humanity. Have you changed your mind now and are you preparing to become a true demon?"
Liang Bing was greatly surprised, and A'tuo, who was standing next to her, was also very curious about it.
They are beings who have traversed the universe for tens of thousands of years, so they naturally do not possess the characteristic of being merciful. Even if all of humanity on Earth were to perish, they would not feel the slightest sadness.
What they were curious about was that A Dan would actually propose such an inhumane solution; this was quite a change.
"I will continue to uphold my own beliefs, but humans are a very complex species, with good people and bad people. What I uphold is only the part of the good people. As for those scum who have done all sorts of bad things, they are the targets I will fight when I am a human police officer!"
Moreover, the arrival of you aliens has made me realize that a catastrophe is imminent for Earth. At this critical moment of life and death, keeping those scum and scoundrels around will only disrupt order and make the situation on Earth worse. It's a good thing to get rid of those scum first."
Maintaining his aloof and handsome demeanor, Wang Hao calmly uttered a sentence that sent shivers down the spines of both Liang Bing and A'tuo.
"The initial state of that garbage foundation is too poor. To collect enough data, we need to increase the quantity of the foundation. Here's what we'll do: get 100 million initial demons to start, and if that's not enough, we'll get more!"
"One hundred million!"
"Damn it, today I truly understand the saying in your Great Xia, 'There are always people more capable than you, and heavens beyond heavens.' Compared to you, you little bastard, I'm as pure as Xiao Bai."
A'tuo and Liang Bing were both terrified. This was a hundred million lives, not a hundred million grains of sand!
They just started doing it on a whim, and this is only an initial investment. Who knows how many hundreds of millions they'll have to lose to actually develop that Demonic Energy system!
Even if their Demon Civilization is known for its cruelty and depravity, this data is still too shocking!
"My bottom line is half of the total human population on Earth. Before that half is depleted, I will do my best to create more Demonic Energy."
"Your Majesty, I need you to grant me the highest level of authorization for our Void Universe Engine."
Wang Hao once again casually uttered a shocking number: back in the Super God anime, it was shown that after the first wave of war, the Earth's population had been reduced by half.
That's a number in the billions, but only a small fraction of them were actually killed by aliens. Most were probably killed by scum and thugs within humanity itself.
This is evident in the Black Armor series of anime, where both the two scumbags who tried to humiliate Leina and the mafia organization that invaded Great Xia committed unforgivable and heinous acts.
With such examples before him, he naturally understands where his bottom line is.
Of course, revealing this was only to fool Liang Bing; if we were to be serious, a few hundred million experimental subjects would be about right.
This number is enough to identify all the hidden dangers and scoundrels among humanity today, enabling humanity to be more united in future interstellar wars.
This was also another major purpose of his infiltrating the demons as an undercover agent: to use the demons to identify and utilize these scumbags and potential threats.
Although this approach is somewhat inhumane, it's better to get rid of those scumbags sooner rather than later compared to the harm they might cause.
Anyway, he's not some saintly hypocrite, and there's really no need to be too picky about that kind of scum.
"Fine! You're tougher than me this time, I'll listen to you! I'll order all the resources on Demon One to be directed towards you, so don't let your queen down in the end!"
Shrugging, since the other party had already expressed their opinion, Liang Bing naturally wouldn't object, anyway, she had absolutely no connection with Earthlings.
She's now quite interested in the Demonic Energy this little bastard mentioned. If they can really develop it, their demonic powers will undergo a qualitative transformation.
"Keep it discreet, don't let them find out."
After giving a reminder, Wang Hao strode towards the central control room, where the Void Universe Engine of Demon One was located.
Simply put, this thing is a low-spec version of Big Clock, but it has extremely strong computing power.
The next step is to deduce a completely new power system based on data. This cannot be done by ourselves alone, so we need to rely on the power of supercomputers.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to steal the technological data that the demons stored in the Void Universe Engine, which was one of the main reasons he infiltrated the demons' side.
There was no other way; among all known civilizations in the universe, the genetic technology and Wormhole Transport technology controlled by the demon were the most advanced. These technologies would greatly help him create the most perfect Body Refinement, and he had to get his hands on them.
Of course, he had wanted to develop this magical Demonic Energy for a long time, but he lacked sufficient basic data to support it. Now, with countless initial demons provided by the demons as experimental subjects, it was only a matter of time before he created this Demonic Energy energy.
Once he can conjure up Demonic Energy, he can use it as a basis to deduce and replicate other types of genetic energy, laying a solid foundation for a perfect Body Refinement.
After all, while the National Arts system is good, it has too few followers and many flaws. Most importantly, the National Arts system cannot evolve the genes of practitioners.
This is the most fatal point!
If this point cannot be remedied, even if he pushes the National Arts system to the Great Firmament Realm, it will not be of much significance.
