"For the specific improvement, please wait until you obtain the Commander permissions upgrade opportunity," the System didn't leak any information.
Su Chen smirked. The System's being so tight-lipped meant there must be something significant.
In reality, the various rewards before were decent, but what he valued the most was the last one: the opportunity to randomly draw from a civilian version.
It's worth noting that some of his super units were from civilian versions, and their strength wasn't inferior to official versions. Ju Ling with the Soul Slayer sniper rifle, for instance. With a single shot, there's no super unit that would dare stand in its way.
Guangtou Qiang, the supposedly indestructible cockroach, possessed formidable melee capabilities, bordering on terrifying.
Yun Ru, Su Chen's chief scientist, overcame many technical challenges, bringing some unique technologies to his faction and enhancing his strength.
Libra had two personalities and had a grasp of Psychic power comparable to her father, Yuri. In terms of sheer destructive power, it exceeded even him.
Li Shaolong, from the faction Su Chen was most familiar with, brought some of his familiar technologies here. Surprisingly, he was also a martial arts master, which caught Su Chen off guard.
These super units from civilian versions greatly aided Su Chen.
It could be said that they were responsible for half of his achievements!
If he could obtain a complete civilian version, his strength might experience a quantum leap. Who knows what kind of overpowered Weapons or unrealistic settings were present in those versions? One shot could potentially destroy the world.
Community versions of this game often didn't bother with balance, focusing instead on maximizing enjoyment. Su Chen couldn't help but wonder when he could create something equally fun.
Unfortunately, Su Chen had to kill the second Dream Shadow Clan in a year to complete the task.
"The first Dream Shadow Clan reached the ninth tier. So, conservatively estimating, the next one is at least a strong being at the level of a small star system, or even a large star system. This means that I have to develop to a level capable of dealing with a strong being of that magnitude within a year," Su Chen was somewhat distressed. The challenge was quite daunting.
Even if he acquired many ninth-tier planets, they wouldn't be a match for a ninth-tier being from a small star system. To reach that level within a year, he needed vast resources!
While others were thinking about how to lead better lives, Su Chen was already contemplating how to rapidly develop and deal with the Dream Shadow Clan arriving on Earth in a year.
At this moment, Wind Tide and Scorpion, still in seclusion, hadn't received the news yet. After all, this situation had developed too quickly. Other Mutant Beasts would need some time to receive the news from Beast slaves.
About three days later, both Wind Tide and Scorpion opened their eyes simultaneously. Their auras had reached the peak of the eighth tier!
In such a short span of time, these two beings that were initially at the Mid-Term Eighth Order had advanced to the peak. Their progress was astonishingly rapid.
"Scorpion, your Zerg race is truly unique. You managed to enhance your strength quickly by absorbing pure energy," Wind Tide looked at Scorpion with a trace of admiration in its eyes.
Scorpion smirked, "No, it's not just us Zerg; you're also part of the Zerg. When we control this planet in the future and make contact with the Brood, our potential will be limitless!"
Being a Zerg super unit, Scorpion possessed a special talent - the ability to assimilate other species and become part of the Zerg. The transformed Zerg still retained its individual consciousness. While it couldn't reach the level of a super unit, it was far superior to a regular Zerg.
In other words, Scorpion could mass-produce pseudo-super units among the Zerg.
The only downside was that this ability could only be used at intervals. Otherwise, it wouldn't have just transformed Wind Tide but also every eighth-tier Mutant Beast.
In their minds, their current strength was more than enough to dominate Earth.
The final eighth-tier peak Human had perished, and the most powerful among them were now only at the Mid-Term Eighth Order. How could they compare to them?
Wind Tide and Scorpion were in high spirits as they emerged from seclusion. Their gazes were proud, as they believed this planet should belong to them.
Just then, Wind Tide spotted a dark figure rushing toward them from the distance. Its brows furrowed as it recognized that the figure was none other than its confidant, the one who had been conveying messages.
"What's the matter that's making you so frantic? You're not at all elegant in this state! Do you need me to teach you how to be an elegant Mutant Beast?" Wind Tide's eyes widened, emitting the aura of an eighth-tier peak expert.
The confidant was instantly scared out of its wits. Its eyes were filled with shock. This level of power... It's definitely not just the Mid-Term Eighth Order. Did Sir achieve a breakthrough?
"Congratulations, Sir! Congratulations, Sir! Sir has finally reached the Late Eighth Order. Truly a blessing for us Mutant Beasts…" Before the confidant could finish flattering, Wind Tide flapped its wings, emitting a foul odor.
The price of becoming a Zerg was that its body remained in a state of partial decay, and the pungent smell almost suffocated its confidant.
"Enough with the pleasantries. Tell me about the situation outside."
Even though it wasn't the first time the confidant saw Sir's appearance, it still felt a strange sensation.
"Yes, Sir." The confidant suppressed the urge to vomit and quickly said, "Just three days ago, Emperor Wu attacked Humans alone. As a result, the nine Human Kings at the eighth-tier peak who had been hidden all this time appeared. They..."
"Wait, what did you say?" Wind Tide's voice suddenly rose. It had trouble believing what it just heard.
"I said the nine Human Kings at the eighth-tier peak..."
"That's impossible! How could Humans have so many eighth-tier peak Kings? Didn't they only have one, who died?" Wind Tide refused to believe. After enduring so much pain to become an eighth-tier peak, only to find out that Humans had nine of them? Are you f**king kidding me?
"Sir, we all believed Humans only had one eighth-tier peak before. If it weren't for Emperor Wu reaching the ninth tier and attacking Humans, we might have been kept in the dark. Sir, the era has changed!" The confidant said with difficulty.
Wind Tide looked dazed. Emperor Wu had actually reached the ninth tier?
How did the strength of Emperor Wu, who was at a similar level as itself, advance faster than its own?
More importantly, Humans had actually killed the ninth-tier Emperor Wu. Its eighth-tier peak strength was nothing compared to that!
Not just Wind Tide, Scorpion was also in shock.
They had only been in seclusion for a short period, yet the outside world felt like it had undergone decades of change. Had Humans truly become this strong?
After a while, Scorpion said, "It seems we need to adopt a different approach to deal with Humans."
"What approach?" A glint of determination flashed in Wind Tide's eyes. To eliminate Humans, it was willing to pay any price! (To be continued...)
