Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 983 Torn



Chapter 983  Torn



Top Head was in rage. His plan did not only fail but also shattered in the worst possible way. Michael was alive, the Divine Lifeforms chosen to become Michael's Subordinates – for a few minutes until he would be killed and the Links of Loyalty severed – were not there anymore and in full control of the man they'd betrayed just now, and the Elders realized that they'd been betrayed as well.


Also, the Floating Union was no more. The Floating Union was one of the most – if not the most – valuable assets of the Altors Union. The powers of the Floating Union greatly surpassed a Demi God's power. They rivaled a god's abilities!


"Why did you do that?" One of the oldest Elders asked, his voice cracking in anger. He approached Top Heads fearlessly. So what if Top Heads was stronger than him? Would Top Head tear off his head in front of everyone? Maybe, but that didn't matter at this moment.


"Why did I do what? Trying to protect 600 innocent Divine Lifeforms from slavery? Are you seriously asking me that?"


The Elder shook his head. He sighed deeply, "You can only see what you want. You're twisting our facts and promises to each other and Michael Fang. Look what your betrayal caused."


He opened his arms widely, pointing at the empty space all around them. The Floating Union had once been where they floated right now. The only object left in this place was a spaceship which one of the Elders had retrieved from his War Rune storage.


"Do you really think it was a good idea to face a Demi-God openly like this? Everyone present knew about his God Curses and that he could use their Divinities. Are you underestimating Divinities now that you've used the accumulated potential of the Void Ingots? You are a fool to believe the potential of others pushed you closer to the prowess of a Demi-God. Your strength might have grown and will continue to grow, but you will never become a full-fledged Demi-God!"


Top Head growled in anger. One of his arms shot forward and coiled around the Elder's neck. The men and women around them gasped in surprise, but the oldest Elder looked straight into Top Head's eyes. There was no trace of fear in his eyes.


"You can only hope Michael Fang isn't going to take revenge. If he does, your betrayal marked the first day of the Altors Union's destruction. Congratulations, you achieved something great. You are the sole reason the Altors Union will cease to exist!"


Top Head wanted to kill the Elder for his words, but he hurled him through the air instead. A roar escaped his lips, and he turned away in anger.


On this day, the Altors Union's Council split. Not even the higher-ups of the Altors Union could trust each other at this point.


How could others trust them if they couldn't even rely on each other anymore?


**


Even though Michael had been betrayed, he didn't think about destroying the Altors Union. The Elders were even more shocked and terrified about the Heads' actions than Michael. They didn't know about the betrayal.


'Taking the Floating Union is enough to make up for their mistake. Also, 600ish Divine Lifeforms with five and six Soultrait Symbols each is a respectable force. I don't even have to deploy the Divine Lifeforms near the Altors Union's borders now that the deal fell through. Maybe the betrayal was much better than expected. I gained a lot.'


Michael shrugged. Not getting betrayed would have been a lot easier, but the Altors Union's betrayal didn't make things much harder. If anything, it transformed some of the plans he'd disposed into the garbage bin earlier into valid plans. After all, he didn't have to be considerate of the Altors Union anymore. He could exploit them now!


Michael needed the Altors Union, though in a different way than the Altors Union had been hoping for. Probably.


"Where do you want to be deployed?" Michael asked the Divine Lifeforms lightheartedly. He retrieved a bunch of Teleportation Tokens and gave one to each of the Divine Lifeforms. They might have betrayed him, but Michael needed to give them access to his territory. They wouldn't be allowed to stay there, but that wasn't why Michael gave them access in the first place.


His reasoning was simple. The Divine Lifeforms would be deployed at the Altors Union border to stir trouble and attract the Supreme Human Alliance's attention, but they were told to collect all corpses and release them inside the Untamed Jungle for Michael's subordinates to preserve until Michael returned to extract them.


Michael didn't expect all of his new Divine Awakened to survive, but all of them ought to return his investment with interest. That was the least he expected from all of them. Of course, doubling, tripling, or quadrupling the initial investment would be better. Most, as a matter of fact, would achieve the latter. Killing a pair of Divine Lifeforms would be enough to do that.


"C-can we stay here?" One of the Divine Lifeforms.


"You mean the Novix Galaxy? I don't particularly care, to be honest. But once you're done conquering the Novix Galaxy, your forces will either be spread thinly along the borders to kill as many as possible, or I will throw you into the Genox Galaxy to conquer a bunch of planetary systems before the world turns upside down.


One good thing about allowing the Divine Lifeforms to keep fighting for the Altors Union was their motivation. The Divine Lifeforms didn't like Michael. They already disliked him even before the Link of Loyalty was established, but now that their scheme failed, they loathed him. That contradicted the Links of Loyalty and caused considerable damage to their souls.


Michael didn't like that kind of self-torture and chose to decrease their hatred with a simple move. The Divine Lifeforms' lives wouldn't change much. They would continue to fight the Supreme Human Alliance and could consider themselves the Guardians of the Altors Union. They might no longer be part of the Altors Union, but the sentiment mattered little.


All that mattered was that the Divine Lifeforms could conquer a bunch of planetary systems and kill some Hyumans.


"But first, we will change a few things about your Soultrait Symbols. I sincerely doubt most of you want to keep your Soultrait Symbols. Everyone will now write down their Soultraits and exchange information with each other. You can trade your Soultraits among each other if they're not perfectly compatible with you. I won't intervene in your trades. Make sure not to waste too much of my precious time, though!"


The Divine Lifeforms didn't know what was going to happen at first, but they were glad Michael didn't torture them for their betrayal. The downside, I thought, was that nobody knew what was awaiting them. A superior with temper issues was annoying, but at least you knew what was waiting for you. A dead silent superior was the most frightening.


After all, the silent ones were the most deadly.


Michael read the thoughts and emotions of his new Subordinates through their Links of Loyalty and Mind Watcher and smiled.


Maybe he'd been betrayed, but the overall situation was still pleasant. He couldn't complain about it.


A bloody battle against the Supreme Human Alliance awaited them!
