Once done, I looked up at my inventory and couldn’t help but grin. My gains from these two worlds this time was beyond my wildest dreams.

If I just got access to more worlds like these two, I’d not worry about going into any auction and winning any artefact no matter how fierce the competition over it was!

It was time for me to go back.

Once I returned, I saw the same sight welcoming me. In addition to that, I didn’t find any trace of Legend.

“These people you left for me to examine are real monsters!” Just when I was looking around, I heard Lily’s voice coming from far away.

“Are they this good?” if they were this good to make even Lily speak up for them like this then I’d expect great things from them.

“They are monsters! But they need tons of stat points to exert their powers,” she stopped her chariot next to mine, jumped over my deck and added, “each time they use one of their skills, they’ll exhaust part of their stat points.”

“This…” it reminded me of the fallen gods, they also work in the same way. “Does this mean you already consumed all the stat crystals I left behind?”

“That was something I couldn’t help with,” she bitterly smiled, “I needed to test their full potential, and they were indeed quite excited to do that.”

“I understand,” I paused while thinking about this new problem. If they’d consume energy like bones or energy crystals, then it’d be much easier to deal with this problem.

But if they’d only use stat points, then I had to start amassing an endless supply of these. And that wouldn’t be enough to satisfy the needs of most of them.

“I need to find a way to get my hands over something that can make stat points for me all the time,” I was sure Silverlining and others in the universe had some sort of artefact or mines that produced such strategic things.

“Let them be on the standby for now,” I paused, “but make the best use of Stephen.”

“He is good,” she nodded in agreement, “I plan to let him lead an entire expedition alone.”

“I’m sure he’ll do perfectly fine,” I agreed.

“Are we going to start invading new worlds?” she asked, and I simply nodded.

I was thinking about ways to get my hands over such mine or artefacts. If it was an issue of mine, then I had to depend on none but myself here.

I’d ask Angelica to start looking for stat crystal mines. But I had first to make sure such a thing existed. If it was acquired using artefacts, then I’d ask Silverlining directly for one.

They are acquired through mines and as I asked Silverlining about that, he sent in more explanation, The rich energy worlds only have such chance of developing these mines

I searched but didn’t find anything like that before in my world I was puzzled more than ever right now, Is there a way to find out if a world has such mines?

It’s not a guaranteed thing he paused before adding, these stat crystal mines are only found in high energy worlds as they require lots of energy to produce such crystals. You have to know they always are situated deep below the ground, at least one mile or two below the surface

This… Do you expect me to dig the entire world looking for them? There must be a way to find these, right?

If I had to dig the entire world randomly to find these crystals then it didn’t make any sense. I didn’t believe all the races and impacts who provide such crystals used such a rude way to get them.

There is a compass you can use he finally gave me something I could work with, Let me look for a good number of these and provide them to you with your reward

Don’t bring that matter up again every time I recalled my delayed reward I got all worked up.

Sorry, but I’ll try to rush them up I didn’t believe a single word he said, By the way, I got the recordings and devices for the last battle. I’ll send them over right now

Humph! As if this will be enough to conquer the Hescos! I didn’t have much expectation for these recordings. After all, the effect I desired already happened by the recordings of the first battle.

My forces got the confidence and got stirred up after watching the recording of the first battle. Adding another recording might boost their morale, but that effect wouldn’t be as grand as the first battle recording.

Mentioning that, when are you going to fight the Hescos next?

I expect them to lay down for now I didn’t want him to jinx me, I expect them to keep themselves low and gather up their forces for a single and final battle

Hmm… They might do that he paused, But don’t be too sure. This race is too hard to deal with

I know, they are the number one race in the universe after all

Don’t mention that matter! They are only on top thanks to the stupid rules of the universe!

He got pumped up when I mentioned that, and I did that on purpose. After all, I was so mad from delaying my reward for all this time.

After closing the chat with him, I started to use my tickets and open new worlds for my forces to invade.

And from the first world I opened, something new happened!

All the worlds we invaded so far were either ruined worlds filled with zombies, worlds without any sign of life except for strong shaped monsters, or worlds with endless Hescos waiting for us out there to fight.

But as I opened the first world, I found a new thing waiting for my forces out there.

Lily adapted the last battle tactic including sending off a vanguard and scout units to check out the worlds.
