511: Volunteering

“Oh well, you are, after all, of the Mech Clan, suppressed by the Mechanical God-King and thus stronger than other God-Kings.”

“Let me help you overcome this terror. I certainly don’t want my mount to tremble in fear when it encounters an enemy. That would be utterly disgraceful!”

Seeing Kai’s cowardly demeanor, Lin Tianwei finally intervened.

Otherwise, if something happened later, it would be his own embarrassment.

A piece of data, containing a trace of Lin Tianwei’s aura, flowed from Lin Tianwei’s tiger claw, using denilu alloy as a medium, and continuously injected into Kai’s body, merging into his database.

Kai, who was originally suppressed by instinct, immediately felt a surge of courage throughout his body, and even the two tokens before him, imbued with the Mechanical God-King’s aura, no longer seemed terrifying.

The Mechanical God-King’s aura, which had previously been as oppressive as a mountain, instantly became less formidable, almost imperceptible.

Kai was startled. Just by receiving a trace of Lin Tianwei’s aura, he actually felt a surge of confidence, as if he too could achieve great things.

Of course, this was merely an illusion; what the Master could do did not mean Kai could do.

After receiving the two tokens, the bewildered Kai immediately left the Alien Battlefield.

Because he knew that, compared to wasting words with his Master here, his Master preferred directness and seeing him return after completing his mission.

It was only after entering the Mech Clan’s territory that Kai belatedly realized that both items his Master had just given him carried the Mechanical God-King’s aura.

Didn't that mean that, at a time he was unaware of, his Master had already met the Mechanical God-King?

That was the Mechanical God-King, one of the few God-Kings in the Universe, capable of annihilating countless stars with a single thought.

His Master had actually met such a terrifying existence, which made Kai’s imagination run wild.

Recalling the slaughter Lin Tianwei had caused in the Alien Battlefield, a possibility suddenly struck Kai: could the Mechanical God-King have come to cause trouble for his Master?

However, this Mechanical God-King, who had actively sought out trouble with his Master, was not only successfully repelled by his Master, but his Master also managed to obtain two tokens from him. The implication of this was naturally self-evident.

For some reason, a thought arose in Kai’s mind: perhaps he wouldn't die this time while carrying out the mission his Master had assigned.

However, before Kai could ponder further, he was awestruck by the countless Mech Clan members kneeling on the ground, a dense sea of black.

Kai, who had left the Chaos Universe at a young age and been captured as a Slave, had never witnessed such a scene.

These were living Mech Clan members, entirely different from the soulless bodies previously referred to as mere junk.

As Kai’s mind was still reeling, he heard a respectful greeting:

“Esteemed fellow clansman, I am the one in charge here. May I ask what brings you to this place?”

Perhaps it was due to his rapid advancement, or perhaps Kai hadn't yet learned to conceal his immense power, but his terrifying aura shone in the eyes of the Mech Clan like the brightest star in the vast cosmos.

The Mech Clan here simply couldn't withstand it; prostrating themselves was their utmost respect for Kai.

Looking at the dense, prostrate Mech Clan members all around, among whom were even Venerables and Universe Masters—super-important figures Kai had once dared not even imagine—

Kai suddenly realized that in just a few decades of following Lin Tianwei, he had already completed the most terrifying leap in his mechanical life, becoming a powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the Universe.

He was even just one step away from directly crossing the final threshold and embarking on the path of a God-King.

It was only after realizing this that Kai understood just how magnificent an existence Lin Tianwei truly was.

God-King?

This seemingly unattainable goal was perhaps just a trivial path easily within his Master’s grasp; only the ultimate Eternal Dominator was his Master’s true objective.

Thinking this, Kai immediately revealed a benevolent smile and said to the surrounding Mech Clan members:

“I am indeed here to ask for your help.”

“I have a plan, a plan to achieve God-King status, that requires your participation.”

“Please, don’t be shy, come with me to the Beast King Banner to discuss it.”

As he spoke, Kai casually pulled out a large banner made entirely of denilu alloy.

The banner was incredibly simple, consisting only of a flagpole and a flag surface.

The silver-gray flagpole looked ordinary, but the most unique part was the flag surface, which was engraved with a majestic tiger head.

This Beast King Banner was none other than the Cyber Virus launching station Kai had built from denilu alloy to successfully penetrate the Cyber Virus.

Perhaps because of the proximity of the Mech Clan, they could even see the Cyber Virus swirling around the Beast King Banner, a dark, imposing sight.

However, before they could fully grasp the meaning of Kai’s words, a tiger’s roar echoed, and countless Cyber Viruses began to invade their consciousness data.

It wouldn't be long before Lin Tianwei’s Cyber Ranch would become even more prosperous… Fritz’s speed was very fast, or rather, given Fritz’s strength, there weren’t many places in the vast Universe that would take him much time to reach.

Unlike Lin Tianwei, a rogue Cosmic Beast with no foundation, the well-established Fritz possessed numerous methods,

especially his terrifying teleportation array, which could instantly transport him to most desired locations.

Hot, scorching, extremely hot!

Everything was crimson; it was as if this was a world made of flames.

It was this distinctive world that made Fritz realize he had arrived in the territory of the Blazing Sky God-King—the Burning Sky Domain.

Terrifying Blazing Sky Flames drifted everywhere here. Without special tools or the Blazing Sky God-King’s guidance, even Fritz, a peak Universe Master, could not smoothly cross to the other side and enter the Blazing Sky Divine Hall, which burned like fire.

Taking a deep breath, Fritz mustered his strength and respectfully called out:

“Blazing Sky God-King, Fritz, President of the Chaos Universe Alliance, requests an audience.”

Fritz revealing his identity was not out of arrogance, but simply to attract the Blazing Sky God-King’s attention.

A Cosmic Beast without some status truly couldn’t hope to be granted an audience by the Blazing Sky God-King upon arriving here.

Making noise indiscriminately and angering the Blazing Sky God-King could even lead to a fatal disaster, as the Blazing Sky God-King was famously short-tempered.

It was precisely for this reason that Fritz was convinced the Blazing Sky God-King would definitely not be as unreliable as the Mechanical God-King.

Due to his personality, any Cosmic Beast daring to offend the Blazing Sky God-King would absolutely face retaliation from the Blazing Sky God-King, and his wrath would only be appeased after the enemy was burned to ashes.

Since that mysterious Novice Village Killer dared to commit such an outrageous act, brazenly killing Lahe, then he must have already prepared for his own demise.

Under Lin Tianwei’s immense power, even separated by vast distances, Fritz dared not show the slightest disrespect towards Lin Tianwei, already using the honorific “that one.”

As soon as he thought that Lin Tianwei would soon die, the deep furrows on Fritz’s face finally relaxed, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

He was finally going to get rid of the super troublesome Novice Village Killer and no longer live in fear.

Even existences like Lahe and Balota, who had God-Kings backing them, were ruthlessly slaughtered by Lin Tianwei, let alone him, a mere peak Universe Master who was only slightly stronger.

Thinking this, Fritz felt a bit annoyed again. The Novice Village Killer was truly unappreciative.

He had once sent his subordinates to contact him, sincerely inviting the other party to join the Score Farming Alliance.

With the other party’s terrifying strength and value, it would be easy to accumulate tens of millions of merit points in just a few hundred years.

Who knew that the other party was extremely unappreciative, not only rejecting his kind invitation but also devouring the envoy he had sent out.

Fritz had no idea that the hundreds of billions of merit points, which seemed numerous in his eyes, were merely something Lin Tianwei could obtain with a little effort.

In just a few short years, a slightly diligent Lin Tianwei had already amassed hundreds of billions of merit points, and after killing Lahe and other Cosmic Beasts, his wealth had super-multiplied, making his family fortune abundant.

If Fritz wanted to beg for mercy, it would be simple: kneel down and surrender, offering trillions of merit points to Lin Tianwei. If Lin Tianwei was in a good mood, he might choose to leave the Alien Battlefield.

However, Fritz was clearly somewhat oblivious, so Lin Tianwei could only let him experience more of the surprises he brought.

The Blazing Sky God-King’s temper was indeed as volatile as Fritz had imagined. Fritz’s request for an audience had barely sounded when he already received the Blazing Sky God-King’s reply.

A flame, shaped like a human figure, suddenly floated out from the Burning Sky Domain and instantly landed in front of Fritz, saying:

“Fritz, what brings you all this way?”

Facing the Blazing Sky God-King’s inquiry, Fritz recited the speech he had long prepared, portraying himself as a righteous and selfless president, willing to sacrifice for the alliance members.

His purpose in coming here, naturally, was to seek justice for Lahe.

As he spoke, deeply moved, Fritz even burst into tears, saying:

“Lord Blazing Sky God-King, Lahe died a terrible death. He didn’t even leave a single corpse, presumably having been completely devoured by the enemy.”

“It’s just a pity that my strength is too weak; I simply cannot defeat an enemy who committed such an atrocious act.”

“I can only implore Lord Heavensea God-King to preside over justice for Lahe.”

“If Lord God-King is unwilling to expend a large amount of divine power for divination for Lahe, I can mobilize the entire alliance’s strength to find the enemy’s whereabouts for Lord God-King.”

Unwilling to expend a large amount of divine power for divination—this was entirely something Fritz had imagined.

Although this seemed somewhat inconsistent with the Blazing Sky God-King’s character, it was also the only explanation.

Could it be that the Blazing Sky God-King was truly unable to divine the whereabouts of a Cosmic Beast that hadn’t even reached the God-King realm?

However, Fritz could never have imagined that this was indeed the truth; even if the Blazing Sky God-King expended a large amount of divine power, he simply couldn’t divine Lin Tianwei’s whereabouts.

Yet, how could the Blazing Sky God-King admit to such a humiliating fact?

He could only feign aloofness, as if things were exactly as Fritz had imagined.

It wasn’t that he lacked the ability to locate Lin Tianwei; he simply couldn’t be bothered to waste the effort.

Despite this, the flames of the Blazing Sky God-King’s hatred for Lin Tianwei did not diminish much; on the contrary, as time passed, they burned even more fiercely.

He urgently wanted to know Lin Tianwei’s location, desperately wanting to burn Lin Tianwei completely to ashes.

In this situation, Fritz, who proactively came forward offering to provide Lin Tianwei’s whereabouts, was like a godsend to him, like finding a pillow when one wanted to nap.

After all, as a God-King, although he had the ability to dispatch enough people to search for Lin Tianwei’s whereabouts, he couldn’t overdo it and let other Cosmic Beasts know the truth of the matter,

making them think that his strength was insufficient, unable to even locate a mere Universe Master.

The Chaos Universe Alliance was also an incredibly powerful force in the Alien Battlefield.

As long as Fritz was willing to help, finding Lin Tianwei’s whereabouts would be as easy as turning over one’s hand, and then he could easily eradicate this Cosmic Beast that dared to challenge him.

Thinking this, the flames representing the Blazing Sky God-King seemed to burn even more intensely out of joy, and he slowly spoke:

“This is a Blazing Sky Token; it has a very special connection with me.”

“As soon as you discover the enemy, send a message to this Blazing Sky Token, and I will arrive in an instant, letting him know what it means to not provoke a God-King!”

“You may withdraw. If you can quickly discover the enemy’s whereabouts, this Blazing Sky Token will be your reward for assisting me.”

Reward? Blazing Sky Token?

Fritz had never imagined that his proactive offer of help this time would come with such a reward.

The Blazing Sky Token seemed like a simple token, but just the two words “Blazing Sky” were enough to make it priceless.

Although it couldn’t fully represent the Blazing Sky God-King, it was enough to make most Cosmic Beasts show him respect out of deference to this token.

The most terrifying thing was that through the Blazing Sky Token, he could also communicate with the Blazing Sky God-King.

Even if the Blazing Sky God-King only made a slight move, helping him just once, it would definitely be a sure profit for him.

Thinking this, Fritz even felt a lot more amiable towards Lin Tianwei.

After all, if it weren’t for an outlaw like Lin Tianwei, the Blazing Sky God-King wouldn’t have given him such a generous reward.

Without hesitation, Fritz’s massive body immediately prostrated itself before the Blazing Sky God-King, saying:

“Fritz will naturally comply with Lord God-King’s instructions as quickly as possible.”

“Rest assured, as long as the enemy is still within the Alien Battlefield, he will absolutely not escape my grasp.”

“Within half an hour at most, Lord God-King will receive my message.”

“I am already eager to see this detestable Cosmic Beast burned to ashes by Lord God-King!” (End of chapter)
