What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

Although the entire planet Blue Star is rich in resources, there are ultimately limits to both the reserves of magic crystals and the number of native humans.

It cannot be ruled out that some of the colonists had already plundered enough wealth and were now focused on attacking the inland and seizing the "White Rift," the passage home.

However, some forces actually regarded other colonists as targets for plunder, and their desire to open up the White Cavern in the inland areas was not strong before they completely annexed them.

They could even reclaim the resources that remained on the Blue Star plane despite their opposition. However, if these resources flowed into the Osider civilization through the White Cult and were protected by various regulations, it would be presumptuous for them to try to seize them by brute force, given their status.

In the civilized society of the Osider plane, "plundering" is a "business" that only large families and powerful forces can engage in.

The arbitrator's proposed solution was acceptable to both the Hundred Cities Federation and the Beast Alliance, but General Iron Tower, following the orders of the Red Emperor Eugene, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, our third leader—I mean, the Red Emperor—said that we will not participate in matters concerning the Free Alliance's waters!"

373 Chris's "Allied Curse"

Upon hearing General Iron Tower's words, the eyes of the fourth-tier amethyst python and the platinum deacon Okameng simultaneously turned sharp, like knives, as they looked at him.

"What does your Benadot Empire mean?"

The burly man with dreadlocks seemed oblivious to the meaning behind the words of the two faction representatives. He casually sat back down, picked up a melon, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while munching on it, "It means exactly what it says."

"Your Excellency the Arbitrator, what do you think?"

The handsome platinum butler attempted to leverage the Mercenary Guild's influence to coerce the Bernadotte Empire into providing assistance.

But the arbitrator's eyes were covered by a white cloth, which had the same effect as sunglasses, so they couldn't see his thoughts.

The Amethyst Python sneered, "General Iron Tower, what are you saying? If your Bernadotte family isn't going to contribute to this battle, then can our alliance's beast army sent to the Hero Sea be withdrawn?"

General Iron Tower scratched his head and said, "I don't really understand this either. You can talk to our boss about it. All I know is that we're not involved in what's being discussed today!"

No matter how the Hundred Cities Federation and the Beast Alliance tried to coerce or entice him, General Iron Tower remained unmoved, focusing solely on his gossip-watching business, and occasionally even flirting with his maids with lecherous eyes.

The arbitrator sighed inwardly. It seemed there was no hope of getting the Benadot Empire involved today. The Red Emperor was truly cunning and treacherous, sending Iron Tower, this unreasonable fool, had actually worked wonders.

If it were another fourth-tier expert attending the meeting, even if they weren't forced to send their own fourth-tier combat power, they would still have to contribute some resources to show their support.

Fortunately, he still has a hand that can gather four fourth-tier units, which should allow him to steadily suppress the native powerhouses.

"Alright, everyone stop arguing. Whether the Benadot Empire members participate in the war or not is another matter. Let me introduce another person to you."

The arbitrator clapped his hands, and Chris, dressed in Odyssey-style attire, entered the hall.

After breaking through to the fourth tier, his appearance became much closer to his original self.

Seeing the many powerful figures on the stage, Chris was not nervous at all. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, everyone. I am Chris."

The atmosphere on stage changed, as if it had frozen instantly.

Even General Iron Tower stopped watching the show, his large, white-eyed staring coldly at Chris.

Platinum Butler Orim said, enunciating each word clearly: "Deep Blue Bug?"

The Amethyst Python bluntly questioned the arbitrator, "Why did you bring this Deep Blue Clan in here? I don't want my sons to have their bodies taken over!"

The arbitrator had anticipated everyone's reaction. He chuckled and said, "Please calm down. We are in the native plane now, not the Osider plane. The rules of civilized society don't apply to us. Even if we cooperate with the Deep Blue Clan, we won't be punished by a fifth-tier powerhouse."

He looked around and said, "The Benadot Empire is unwilling to contribute, and I don't think any of the three of us would want to add another fourth-tier member. So this friend from the Deep Blue Clan is just the right person to fill that gap."

The Platinum Butler looked at the Deep Blue Clan with utter distrust. This race had a terrible reputation in countless planes; the title of "bug" was not something one could easily acquire.

"What if this guy betrays us during the battle? I'm not sure I can survive being ambushed at close range by a fourth-tier Deep Blue Clan member!"

The arbitrator said, "Regarding this, everyone can rest assured. This friend from the Deep Blue Clan is very sincere. He has already placed an allied seal in his mind. If he ever has any thoughts of betraying us, hehe..."

To be honest, the arbitrator didn't expect this Deep Blue Clan member named Chris to be so agreeable, even agreeing to place a curse mark in his mind. Isn't he just a henchman who obediently delivered himself to their doorstep?

When placing the curse mark, the Arbitrator couldn't resist his greed and wanted to change to a curse mark with even stronger control, such as a slave curse mark. Having a slave of the Deep Blue race would be a very cool thing, even in the Osider plane.

But his professional experience ultimately led him to choose to give up.

"An ally's curse?"

The three fourth-tier powerhouses looked at Chris at the same time. Although there was still a trace of disgust in their eyes, they were at least no longer so wary and nervous.

With the Alliance Seal in place, even if you have to choose a back-to-back partner, Chris will be the best choice.

He might even risk his life to shield you from a blow. This is why other fourth-tier powerhouses would rather die than cast such a curse mark. If they were to die in battle to save these so-called allies, they would really be at a huge loss.

With a wave of the arbitrator's hand, a shield-like symbol appeared between Chris's eyebrows.

"Alright, alright, since he's a good brother with the mark of an ally, then of course we welcome him to join our big family!"

"You should have said so earlier! Every race has good people and bad people. I think Chris's little brother is a great guy!"

Seeing how quickly these fourth-tier players changed their tune, Chris wore a warm smile on his face, but inwardly he was cursing, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."

If it weren't for the ally seal placed in the space between his eyebrows, the fourth-tier Osiders probably wouldn't have bothered with him at all.

Unfortunately, Laozi is not stupid. Zian has a way to seal or remove this curse mark on his own.

As soon as Chris made a move, a deep blue light emanated from the blue crystal diamond floating in the space between his eyebrows. Although the main body of the cursed seal was not obviously damaged, the array at the top was completely destroyed!

As long as Chris is willing, the limitations of the cursed seal are no longer a problem.

"Then, if no one objects, we can begin to formulate a concrete plan."

The platinum butler beckoned to Chris, signaling him to come up and participate.

Chris smiled slightly and followed.

On an unnamed island in the Ironblood Sea, Qian Youque threw Zhao Xiaomo to the ground without any mercy, and then rushed into the sky.

The idea of ​​breaking through to the fourth level in the clouds had been brewing. If they didn't get rid of this little girl soon, she would be caught up in this phenomenon, and if she encountered any danger to her life, who knows?

Money was like a tiny black dot, breaking through the control of the field in the heavy fog. It was an impactful thought, but it seemed that it did not take the strange phenomenon with its slightly challenging mechanism into account.

No sooner had Qian Youque left than a dark figure appeared beside Zhao Xiaomo.

Are you alright?

The person who arrived was Chen Tianyang. If he hadn't been fast enough, he really wouldn't have been able to catch up with Qian Youque, who flew around at will.

Zhao Xiaomo's only remaining movable organ is her eyes.

She blinked frantically, wanting Chen Tianyang to take her away as soon as possible.

But by the time this lingered, the strange phenomenon in the sky had already become too late.

A deep male voice sounded behind him: "Hey, little guy, did you suffer on the way here?"

374 The Profound Meaning of Soul Seeds

Chen Tianyang has always been a calm person.

Whether on the battlefield or in life, few things can move him.

The Ironblood Army's supreme commander, the powerful "Undying Underworld King" Tie Yousong, was drawn to his composure, which is why he regarded him as his successor.

But when the voice appeared behind Chen Tianyang, he felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a large hand, and a strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

He was like a weak antelope, while the person holding Zhao Xiaomo hostage was a lion on the grassland.

Even so, he remained calm and composed, manifesting his soul weapon, the "Sea-Suppressing Hammer," and slowly said, "Why did you do this? Aunt has waited for you for so long, and this is how you treat her?"

As he spoke, Chen Tianyang turned around, staring at Qian Youque with incomprehension and anger in his eyes.

For this man, Zhao Jinyin never married. After his accident, she disregarded the opposition of many high-ranking officers in the Iron Blood Army and was willing to be demoted to deputy commander in order to save him.

In the end, when the man woke up, he didn't even have the slightest desire to see her!

Chen Tianyang was furious; he couldn't stand by and watch Zhao Jinyin be bullied like this by a man.

The strange phenomena in the sky dissipated, and the fluctuations of laws around Qian Youque gradually disappeared. Faced with Chen Tianyang's questioning, his expression remained calm.

"I have now abandoned human emotions. If you think you can sway me with that, you're dreaming."

Blue light flashed in Qian Youque's eyes. During his coma, the deep blue consciousness completely consumed him.

Moreover, unlike others, because of his exceptional talent and tenacious character, Qian Youque waged a long war of attrition against the primordial particles.

During this process, Qian Youque, through his own efforts, actually showed signs of breaking free from the erosion of the primordial particles!

Among the countless beings in countless planes, hundreds of millions are being eroded by primordial particles, but those who can reach the level of Qian Youque are extremely rare.

It's hard to say whether it was a lack of money or good luck, but his struggle attracted a single glance from the "Deep Blue Mother Plant" from multiple dimensions.

Just this single gaze that traversed countless dimensions was enough to infect Qian Youque with the Deep Blue consciousness, instantly transforming him and giving him the potential to become a "sub-plant".

In the history of the Deep Blue Clan, the lowest achievement a life form could be noticed by the Deep Blue Mother Plant was the fourth rank. Almost a few days after Qian Youque was infected by the Deep Blue consciousness, he broke through the bottleneck and found his own path.

Although this path appeared under the interference of the mother plant, it is indeed a real law of profound meaning, and even its level is quite high. If Qian Youque had not been infected by the Deep Blue consciousness, he might not have been able to comprehend this level of law of profound meaning.

However, the price was that he was forced to give up his human identity and become a Deep Blue race life form with great potential.

Even the previous Deep Blue Commander probably couldn't compare to him in terms of talent.

"Abandoned human emotions? You think you can pay off your debt to Auntie with just such a casual remark? How laughable!"

Chen Tianyang sneered and pointed the Zhenhai Hammer at Qian Youque.

The hammer, which was originally only three inches in size, suddenly stretched to one and a half meters, and the hammer itself became as big as a rum crate.

It is covered with mysterious, ancient runes and reliefs, and on the surface of the hammer, there are faint elemental bands made of a mixture of water and gold elements slowly circling.

This hammer possesses a restrained power and seems unremarkable, a stark contrast to the incredibly powerful Zhuxian Four Swords. However, those geniuses ruthlessly suppressed by Chen Tianyang know just how terrifying the hammer's power lies beneath its unassuming exterior.

The name "Zhenhai" is not just a boast, it's earned through hard work!

Zhao Xiaomo was secretly worried behind Chen Tianyang's back. Black Face was considered the number one among the younger generation, but his opponent was a well-established powerhouse. Just in terms of ranking, Chen Tianyang was dozens of places behind him.

Not to mention, the mentally challenged uncle seems to have made another breakthrough in his strength.

The oppressive aura he exuded just now was very similar to that of the Commander!

"Chen Tianyang, you can do it!!!"

Zhao Xiaomo could only pray desperately for Chen Tianyang in her heart, hoping that he could hold on until the commander arrived.

Qian Youque slowly floated up from the ground. "Your strength is quite impressive. If it were the old me, it would have taken a lot of effort to deal with you. Unfortunately, I am no longer the same person I was before."

Chen Tianyang silently prepared himself, gathering all his strength for the moment.

"Actually, your life and death are of no concern to me. The native life on this plane will eventually be destined to become nourishment for our Deep Blue Clan. Considering that you two have some talent, I can give you a chance."

At this point, Qian Youque's lips curled up slightly, "How about becoming my subordinates? Although I can sense that there are many of my kind in the Azure Star plane, my predecessor was human after all. Taking in a few subordinates who were originally human and training them can be considered as repaying the nurturing grace of this plane."

"Sorry, I have no interest in becoming a monster."

Chen Tianyang has made his move!
