Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: The Alien Fused with Hell Power

?

"This haul is plump, let's head back and talk, it's not safe here," Qin Muye decided to return to the Church after harvesting the Iron Blood Warrior.

If there really were aliens nearby, he had no wish to engage them head-on.

However, he also had to consider how to deal with this issue. If the Preachers from the Hell Church won, then all was well; but if they lost, wouldn't that lead to a total collapse?

Compared to native civilizations, when facing slaughter weapons like aliens, they often fell short. They weren't like the Iron Blood Warrior who possessed sufficient Technology Civilization.

Even though the Power of Hell was present, it was clear that Hell didn't care at all about these affairs and was more of a scourge.

'It's not like there's no way to deal with it; in fact, there's a permanent solution, but it's a bit risky.'

Qin Muye's plan was simple: to stand by and watch the fire burn from across the river. Whether it was the Preachers from the Hell Church or the aliens getting burnt, he would just watch. If the former won, he would snatch the aliens; if the latter prevailed, he would capture the Preachers for research.

As for a considerable alien threat, that too was simple: he would open the gates of Hell, letting the Power of Hell pour into the entire Akman Town, and then, he would detonate about a dozen Crimson Invasions, ensuring a thorough cleansing. He could even contribute a significant amount of Rubies to the Federation of States.

The only problem was that staying around Rubies for too long tended to turn people into Rubies as well.

Yet such an action was likely to harm the innocent, as the explosion would leave no living beings.

He could seek out and eradicate the Alien Queen now, while it was still in its nascent phase, but this did not align with Qin Muye's interests.

His main task involved dealing with all sorts of monsters and urban legends within Akman Town. It would be far too much work for him to kill them one by one.

Better to have the aliens lend a hand.

Aliens, as a species, could not possibly cooperate with these monsters and Murderers. They were more inclined to use them merely as hosts for breeding.

Even demons and devils from Hell may not be spared. After all, aliens have never been a species inclined to subordination.

Qin Muye was essentially raising a threat within and using others to eliminate enemies indirectly. However, he really had no certainty in this matter, as the aliens were no longer pure sci-fi creatures but slaughter weapons tainted with the Power of Hell. Who knew how strong the enemy could be?

Therefore, Qin Muye could also possibly end up in trouble.

But as for the trouble, he was rather indifferent. After all, the situation was already chaotic. Who knew if the Engineers would descend tomorrow? Then the fun would really begin.

Moreover, if things did go south, he could always escape. This time, he aimed for a rating of S or above; anything less would have little significance for him.

What he lacked now was not these minor Resources or a Treasure or two, a Profession, but buildings like the Magic City Wall and Alchemy Towers that could help advance his territory.

As for other things, to speak frankly, it would be better to wait for the arrival of the Engineers or the mothership of the Iron Blood Warriors. Qin Muye could then seize another opportunity to loot.

In terms of value, he placed greater emphasis on Knowledge that could significantly enhance the strength of his territory, as opposed to something that only increased his personal might.

Unless it was a Divine Artifact or an Epic Profession that could aid in the development of his territory, other things held little value for him.

"Master, something was spying on us just now, very likely the aliens you mentioned," Tian Qi suddenly spoke up on the way back.

Qin Muye narrowed his eyes in contemplation, "The aliens have their sights set on us, tsk, they want the genes of the Spirit Monster, but I am also interested in the genes of the aliens. These slaughter weapons are naturally very much favored."

Moreover, once he had mastered the mature technology, he could even sell the aliens as Biological Weapons. If Umbrella could do it, why couldn't he?

If it weren't for the lack of corresponding virus technology, Qin Muye might have already started selling them.

Although he dealt in luxury goods, the actual money-makers were military arms. After returning this time, he planned to provoke the various Kingdoms and forces of the Magic Continent into war, which would make his arms sell even better.

Gathering Resources to construct Floating Cities or implement new era reforms all required resources. If he began to decipher some of the Iron Blood Civilization's technology, the expenditure would undoubtedly increase.

"Do we need to eliminate this alien?" Tian Qi asked.

"No need, it seems that it's about to come into its own," Qin Muye's eyes with the crimson pupils quickly locked onto the alien.

The alien was not merely contaminated by Hell Power but had fused with it. Precisely because of this, its original stealth ability became ineffective in the face of Qin Muye's crimson pupils.

The alien, like a venomous snake, hid itself well, but the Hell Power it radiated shone like a bright light in the night in the eyes of Qin Muye.

This alien was very likely the same one that had captured the Iron Blood Hound. It should have been laying in ambush for the Iron Blood Warriors, but Qin Muye's intervention had caused it to set its sights on him instead.

The group quickly left, and the alien did not follow for long, seeming to realize that Qin Muye and Tian Qi, along with the other Spirit Monsters, were tough nuts to crack, so in the end, it didn't continue to pursue them.

Qin Muye noticed the alien's departure and then said, "Send someone to track this alien and find its lair."

Not dealing with the alien was correct, but that didn't mean Qin Muye would simply return. Aliens possessed considerable intelligence, and assuming an Evangelical Spirit Monster could mimic them might lead to them being on guard. Naturally, caution was warranted.

A Spirit Monster squirmed and transformed into a bird, flying away and stealthily tailing the alien from a distance, unnoticed as it went in search of new prey.

'When I get back, I must develop a communication network between Spirit Monsters.' Previously, Qin Muye had intended to use the Magic Network, an Intelligent Magic, as the core to develop a magical internet system, but he had been too busy, and it was delayed until now, still undeveloped.

He didn't have time lately either, not with his research into Hell Power still ongoing.

Therefore, it would have to wait a bit longer. He estimated he would focus on it after completing his research on Iron Blood Warriors' technology and the Floating City blueprints, among other things related to his realm.

Suddenly, he realized that his research on dragons hadn't been completed either.

Thinking of all these tasks only made his head spin more, the workload seemed to be ever-

increasing. Despite having delegated responsibilities, if this continued, he would have no time left for leveling up.

'Worst comes to worst, I'll just have to build a few more Magic Pools to blend in some

Experience.'

Leveling up, after all, sometimes didn't require going out at all; hiding and leveling up was

just fine.

As for combat experience, it was entirely unnecessary. Should Qin Muye have to personally enter the battlefield, it meant the realm was on the brink of destruction, and what use would combat experience be then?

Once his Floating City was complete, wouldn't it be better to directly bring the realm to the

instance?

It was just that his realm hadn't fully developed yet. Once developed, Qin Muye wouldn't need to expose himself so much.

Handle quests? Simply issue commands. He wouldn't need to think much about it then. With various strategists providing wisdom and numerous armies at the ready, to do anything would just be a word away.

This was the correct way to be a Lord, not personally charging into battle or even having to manage diplomatic relations with other powers himself-otherwise, what use would his

Heroes be?

After returning to the Church, Qin Muye let out a sigh of relief. The journey had been tiring although he hadn't walked much, but he did get a scare from the shoulder cannon of an Iron Blood Warrior earlier.

Added to that, the mental strain had been intense. Now relaxing, he naturally felt fatigue set

in.

'Damn, I seem to vaguely remember a plan about self-transformation, right?' Qin Muye recalled this matter and quickly located it, which was, well, about as far along as creating a

new folder.

Soon, Qin Muye gave up on that as well. Never mind, he would deal with it later. After all, he wasn't lacking in physical fitness. Once technology advanced, he would just travel by Iron Blood Spaceship, not even needing to walk.

Even if he improved his physical fitness, it would be only a minor embellishment, hardly

worth the time.

After resting for five minutes, Qin Muye dove back into his research on Hell Power. He felt this energy held immense potential, comparable to his own Crimson.

He planned to learn from various sources and see if he could combine the two types of power, Crimson and Hell, to form a new energy unique to himself.

It was also for that reason that Qin Muye had let the alien go, thinking of turning the situation

to his advantage.
