Chapter 836 Super Dark Star Core
August 5, 10798 in the Imperial Calendar.

The Dragonblood Duke, the White Mandarin Duck Duke, the Crimson Demon Duke, and the Evil Mountain Duke are at war outside Thorn City over the ownership of the entire territory of the Old Thorn Kingdom.

Because of the Thorn King's mysterious disappearance last time, neither the Blackrock King nor the White Oak King planned to participate, and their support was not strong, since this matter was more like a change of dynasty in the Thorn Kingdom.

Of course, most importantly, a demonic calamity broke out within both kingdoms, with a total of three duke-level demon legions descending upon the land, requiring two legendary elites to personally confront them.

The eve of the outbreak of war.

Jiang He used spatial teleportation to sneak into the other side and charmed the two dukes. The war would continue tomorrow morning. A public victory would not only boost the stock value of the Rhine Star Trade Group, but also benefit the rule of the Dragon Blood Kingdom.

According to Wuhe, the only thing that would happen is the death of some gold and silver warriors.

The next morning.

The war lasted four hours and then ended.

Because of the sudden appearance of the "Quenching" Duke, the two rival dukes were defeated and surrendered. The Dragonblood Kingdom completely occupied the territory of the Thorn Royal Family and became an important member of the "one superpower and three strong powers" pattern in the Emerald World.

The message was relayed back to Emerald Star.

The value of Rhine Star Group's stock skyrocketed, surged, and exploded.

From over 8000 billion Star Coins, it soared to 32000 trillion Star Coins, officially becoming the 17th ranked super giant in the Tianhuo Star Cluster. All of this was because the Dragonblood Duke moved the capital of the kingdom to Surat Port City, and the market reacted accordingly.

At the same time, the second profit distribution meeting began.

2000 million tons of spices were transported back to Tianhuo Star. This is already the current production capacity limit of the Gluttony World. As the predecessor of the Night World, a large part of the land has not yet been transformed into arable land.

Without jeopardizing decision-making and leadership, Wuhe cashed out a massive sum of 3600 billion Star Coins, an unprecedented amount, which was transferred to Jiang He's account at the cost of curbing the Rhine Group's upward momentum.

Jiang He returned to Tianhuo Star aboard the Expedition spacecraft that day.

With this huge sum of money, he has his eye on the corresponding commodity—a super dark star that was once extremely rich but has long been destroyed by demons; to be precise, it is the dark core of this super star.

The refining and extraction of star cores alone requires the combined efforts of multiple mythical beings to transport them from the southern border of the empire to the northern frontier. The transportation itself is a huge expense, and 3600 billion star coins cover all costs. The Emperor Dragon System ensures that the items will be delivered to Jiang He.

……

The Expedition landed at Tianxing Port.

Unlike the last time we set off.

During this landing, Jiang He took in the entire view of Star Harbor.

This port is like an ultramodern wonder floating on the edge of the stars. It has completely shed the heaviness of steel and has a large number of anti-gravity towers that float in the air and rise and fall slowly.

Around the Starport, giant screens display real-time data from the Skyfire Stock Market, broadcast artistic images from alien planets, or music performances from distant star clusters, while commercial advertisements abound.

Jiang He even saw herself on the screen.

They only appeared as virtual lovers.

In order to compete with the Niat Consortium in the game market, the Rhine Consortium launched a copycat game, "Kill and Blood Love". Given that the deceased young beauty Nico was not qualified, Ugo felt guilty and launched a large-scale social experiment screening of the Immortal Pig.

Mooring point 315.

The young man in black and the girl in white had been waiting for a long time.

Jiang He disembarked, and Zhuang Ya jogged to greet her. She didn't pay much attention to the new pet that the other woman was holding; the matter of the Peacock Princess was not a secret within the team.

"Humans are born with the right to walk..." Princess Peacock pursed her red lips, her teeth clenched.

"This is part of adapting to a new identity."

Jiang He picked up the little girl with one arm and said calmly, "You know my methods."

Princess Peacock silently lowered her head. She had already lived in the bottom layer of the hive for two days. The environment there was inhuman. Rhine Alexei offered a deal: as long as she accompanied him for a few days, she would not have to sacrifice her virginity, and she could live in the middle layer of the hive when she returned.

"too naive."

"In the end, he's just a nineteen-year-old young man."

Princess Peacock was determined. Of course, her desire to live in the middle level of the Nest City was a lie; she never wanted to go back to that godforsaken place in her life. Accompanying the other party back to Tianhuo Star was the real opportunity, and even if she had to crawl like a stray dog, she had to seize this chance.

"Just say a word to someone you know."

"I must endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens."

"Once we get our revenge, we'll lock him up in the underground palace."

The three arrived at the docking station's terrace.

The delicate face beneath the Peacock Princess mask was flushed with embarrassment.

The people of Tianhuo, who used to look up to him, now cast curious, doubtful, and contemptuous glances at him. This complex gaze made him feel uneasy.

Several inspectors quietly approached, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the demon-race hybrid mark on the woman's mask. The Empire always adhered to human supremacy, and hybrid beings were non-citizens, so they could be treated however they wanted. The lower their social status, the more discrimination they faced, and the fewer people were willing to have sex with other races.

"Sir, please make sure your pet doesn't hurt anyone."

“It’s very obedient.” Jiang He turned around, pointed to the streetlight pole by the roadside, and ordered, “Leave your mark.”

Princess Peacock: "..."

You're not actually human, are you?

Princess Peacock almost ground her teeth to powder; she was now wearing long sleeves and trousers, and she was sure she would get her trousers dirty.

Jiang He asked, "Can a disobedient demon hybrid dog enter Skyfire Avenue?"

The inspector scratched his head, looking troubled: "In principle, it's not possible, Your Excellency Alexei. Perhaps you could communicate with my superior to discuss it."

Rhein Alexei, the renowned head of a super-corporation on the planet Skyfire, and a pioneering war hero.

Jiang He waved her hand in refusal, "I'm a law-abiding citizen, so let's just forget about it and send it back. It's no big deal."

Princess Peacock's mind went blank.

A mere inspector was hardly worth exposing her true purpose; her strength was far too weak. But if she returned to the capital like this, what would have been the point of her arduous journey? Whoosh!
Princess Peacock approached the star lamp pole, feeling utterly humiliated.

Do we need to pay a sanitation fee?

"You're joking. We're not that strict. A pioneering hero like you deserves some preferential treatment. It's just that the demon hybrid hound is indeed a bit dangerous. That's fine. Have a nice day."

Several inspectors left.

Few people would want to clash with such a big entrepreneur unless absolutely necessary.

Extremely beast-like behavior nearly broke his spirit.

A week ago, Princess Peacock could never have imagined such a life. She felt like she was about to shatter, especially now that she had a point of reference: the little girl in Rhine Alexei's arms, who clearly received all the trust and favor.

The four boarded the flying vehicle, and Wuhe reported the situation.

"Boss, the Emerald Fleet and battleship group entered the Gluttony World from Skyfire Port via the Rainbow Bridge this morning. The Saint Lilith's promotion can begin at any time."

"The Dragonblood Kingdom is basically integrated. The five dukes are working together, and the efficiency has exceeded my expectations. We now have two hundred thousand-man warrior regiments and forty standard mage regiments. The Emperor's camp of the Emerald Empire has sent us a batch of supplies, with the requirement to strike as many stubborn old noble forces as possible in the Blackstone Kingdom and the White Oak Kingdom."

"As for Tianhuo Star, the Rhine Star Trade Consortium controls ninety-two subsidiaries, with a total value of 32500 trillion as of this morning..."

When Jiang He and Wu He were exchanging intelligence.

In the back seat of the flying car.

Zhuang Ya stared at Princess Peacock with a calm expression.

Princess Peacock whispered, "You're so cute. Can you tell me how old you are? I know the best cake shop on Tianhuo Avenue. When I was little, you used to take me there all the time..."

"If you dare to run away, I'll kill you," Zhuang Ya said, lowering her eyes.

Princess Peacock's pupils constricted.

Zhuang Ya straightened the other person's collar and said coldly, "The fact that he's being treated like this, wasting his energy, means that you're probably the one who did the wrong thing first. So the only reason you're alive now is that you're being his pet. I've killed a lot of people, but I'm not a small number either, but I'm not one less than you. But then again, even if I just killed you, he wouldn't really blame me."

Finally, stay away from me.

"Next time you strike up a conversation, make sure your pants are clean first."

Princess Peacock felt ice-cold all over.

The core members of the Rhine Star Trade Group are all villains. This seemingly harmless little guy has a coldness in his eyes that is exactly the same as that man's.

"Boss..."

Wuhe winked quietly behind him.

Jiang He pretended not to see it and then calmly asked, "What did the Alexei family say?"

Wuhe suppressed a laugh and said, "There is a banquet tonight. The Duke invites you to participate. Princess Gem and Francis will also be there."

Jiang He asked curiously, "You should have known this long ago: the Gem Princess is the future reincarnation of the Gods."

Lilith is a bad woman, that's undeniable.

"I'm laughing at something else, can I not say it?"

"Whatever you want," Jiang He replied indifferently.

Jiang He closed his eyes to rest, controlling the Saint Lilith Devouring Battleship Group in the Gluttony World. It was a standard Imperial main fleet, and sub-mythical-level warships were indispensable. They were required to suppress legendary peaks on the battlefield for a long time, or even cooperate with other warships and legendary powerhouses to complete the encirclement and annihilation.

[Name: Progenitor Battleship - Saint Lilith]
[Category: Weapons]
[Level: Sub-Mythical]
[Effect ①: Undying Moon Spirit - Before the master dies, the warship will not be completely destroyed, but will reduce its level to absorb damage until it becomes a plank. It can evolve by consuming other ships. Progress bar: 0/100]
[Effect ②: Descent of the Curved Latitude - Using the current location as the origin, the Primordial Warship can directly descend to the location observed by the holder. The cost is the same regardless of the distance, and it can be used 1,000 times per day.]
[Effect 3: Moon Goddess - Sub-mythical level of sturdiness and resilience]
[Effect ④: Firepower Group - 81.81 km long, equipped with 12 sub-mythical level magic elemental cannons (area cannons/single-target cannons), 36 holy spirit level elemental cannons, and 360 legendary level elemental cannons. It can activate the Crimson Moon form, transforming into a battleship giant with the power to annihilate legendary elites on its own.]
[Note: This is the dowry He gave to his beloved.]
The promotion of the Saint Lilith marks the official establishment of the Emerald Fleet. Moreover, the Saint Lilith's firepower is three times that of a standard space carrier. As for its fighter squadron, it is led by the Evil Dragon Riders.

……

The flying car arrived at the trading alley.

Princess Peacock remained silent throughout, sitting in the back seat with her arms wrapped around her extremely long and beautiful legs, eavesdropping on the conversation between Rhein Alexei and his subordinates.

The Rhine Star Trade Group has a huge financial black hole.

She already knew this, but she never expected these people to be so crazy as to commit crimes against the wind again.

When Rhein Alexei got off the carriage, Princess Peacock could not hide her excitement. But when she turned around, she saw the girl who was disguised as an innocent-looking person. The moment the girl held a sword, she was shocked to find that her strength was far beyond her imagination. She was an elite powerhouse of the legendary era and ranked among the top in the entire Tianhuo Star Group.

"You are his... offspring?"

Princess Peacock was terrified, yet unable to resist her curiosity.

The fact that a legendary elite would behave so obediently in the face of a hero of the pinnacle is still somewhat surprising, even though Rhine Alexei is clearly abnormally powerful.

“Spouse,” Zhuang Ya replied coldly, “It’s just that the situation is a bit complicated right now, but it has nothing to do with you.”

Having completed primary school in the post-apocalyptic world and then a private school in the world of the Deer Chaser, she has long since acquired the mind of a normal person through continuous learning. However, since someone is clearly unwilling to change the current relationship, she can only respect that and let nature take its course.

Princess Peacock wisely kept quiet. The other party was already very irritable, and continuing the conversation might really lead to their death.

Inside the trading alley.

Jiang He and Wu He entered the Class B room.

The Emperor Dragon System still looked like a little dinosaur, but it was much more enthusiastic than when they first met. The financial black hole behind Rhine Star Trade was not within the scope of the Empire's artificial intelligence.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Rhein."

"I'm also glad that you didn't fall into the arms of the Four Pillars Gods. Before you became a demon prince of war and lust, the Emperor favored you. This is your Dark Star Core."

Jiang He obtained a star core that was only the size of his palm. This thing was so heavy that it almost crushed his power. He immediately digested the sin of gluttony, and the power of gluttony - black sun, one of the king's privileges, grew rapidly and powerfully.

[Title: Gluttony - The Power of the Black Sun]
[Category: Skills]
[Quality: Near Mythical Level]
[Effect ①: Black Sun Domination - In areas shrouded by the black sun, targets experience a 30x increase in energy, stamina, patience, stamina, and recovery.]
[Effect ②: Sun King - Knocks down a large amount of the target's authority into power, lasting for seven natural days (for those of the same rank and below)]
[Effect 3: Black Flame - Sub-Mythical Flame (Dark Gold)]
[Effect 4: Black Sun Authority - Transcendental Nullification]
[Effect 5: Gluttony Lord - Supreme Ruler]
[Note: All royal blood must end with the sword.]
"We can intensify our efforts on Emerald Star."

Dark golden sunlight rippled across Jiang He's body. The Gluttony Black Sun Authority's upgrade this time didn't actually bring about a qualitative change; it's estimated that it won't reach the true mythical level until then. However, the numerical increase is still not to be underestimated. In addition, with the Emerald Fleet reaching the main force level, the Dragonblood Kingdom that our side is supporting can completely expand again.
