Chapter 462: Different Frequencies of Thought
Chapter 462: Different Frequencies of Thought
"Too much, too much!!!" Chen Mo was so angry that his entire body was trembling, his face turning a dark purple.
Duke White Frost also looked extremely grim. He had not expected the situation to develop this way.
A head was placed on Chen Mo’s bedside table, its three eyes wide open, clearly indicating it had died with unfinished business.
They did not recognize which of their compatriots this head belonged to, so it could only have come from one place: Sam, who was on his way to them.
From the last contact, the other party was expected to arrive in about three to five months. After all, traveling through the darkness, it was impossible to cover tens of thousands of miles in just a few days, and Sam’s strength was indeed limited.
But they never expected him to arrive early. This was good news, but the fact that only his head came was the worst news possible.
And who could have done this? It didn’t take much thought to figure out—it had to be that damned Lord. Who else could it be?
After all, they had recently offended him, and now only he had the capability to do this. All the 3rd-rank and above divine-class Extraordinary Beings had been annihilated, and the only one who could dispatch such high-level combatants was the Lord.
Moreover, the other party had previously used every means to extort his divine artifact, even resorting to comprehensive suppression. Killing someone now was just a matter of course.
But even though it was expected, they could not accept it. After all, it was their compatriot.
"Have you still not found where his territory is? A mere 6th-rank Lord, and he dares to be so arrogant!" Chen Mo’s face was twisted with rage, wishing he could tear the other party to shreds.
"You need to calm down. We cannot lose our composure," Duke White Frost quickly advised. Although he was also furious, they could not let anger cloud their judgment.
Otherwise, things could go wrong.
"Still not? That coward, if he had the guts to face us, he wouldn’t have used such despicable means to kill. That scoundrel, I will not ally with such a scoundrel!" Although Chen Mo was gradually calming down, he was still muttering curses.
"He wants to provoke us. We cannot act rashly now. We need to wait until we have the military equipment capable of killing a 6th-rank before we make a move. Then, he will just be a minor annoyance." Duke White Frost also wanted revenge, but their strength was insufficient.
Without enough force, even a desperate resistance would be suicide.
"We are the offspring of the Gendaya civilization, with powerful technology. That so-called Lord is merely a native from a backward and ignorant world. Although he has temporarily gained power, he is still just a native. As long as our plan succeeds, killing him will be no harder than killing a chicken."
Duke White Frost was relatively calm, understanding the practicalities.
A 6th-rank in the Gods' Kingdom corresponds to a Divine Servant level, which might be powerful in this era, but in the Gendaya civilization, it is nothing much.
Whether in terms of weapons or genetic enhancements, reaching 6th-rank is easy. As a civilization on the brink of exploring other worlds, they naturally have no shortage of high-level combatants.
Therefore, a 6th-rank is nothing to them. However, they need a lot of time to recover, as they are starting from scratch.
"I understand. I won’t let anger cloud my judgment. But this is clearly a threat, and we need to resolve it quickly. If he can kill Sam, he can kill others." Chen Mo knew they couldn’t defeat the other party now, so he could only endure for now.
But he was worried that the other party might become more aggressive. If this was just the beginning and the other party continued to kill step by step to force them, it was not impossible.
The thought of it was humiliating. He, a proud offspring of the Gendaya civilization, was being manipulated by a backward and ignorant native.
"Find a way to stall him. In three months, we will have completely modernized our territory, and 6th-rank military equipment will be widespread. Then, it will be uncertain who will kill whom." Duke White Frost estimated the time and also needed to find a way to stall.
"I know. He is just after wealth. But as a Lord, he won’t be satisfied with ordinary things. We have nothing that can satisfy him."
Chen Mo said helplessly.
Duke White Frost thought for a moment and then said, "If there's no other way, we can just stall him. We can tell him we'll give him the wealth once we earn it. It won't be too late."
He knew that Chen Mo really had nothing left. When they arrived, they had brought three divine artifacts, but they had already given them up to save their lives.
"From my interactions with the Lord, it's clear that he is a greedy and shortsighted person. He only cares about short-term gains and doesn't think about the future. If I really say that, he will only become more aggressive." Chen Mo had never had a good impression of the Lord.
"That's a problem. If possible, could the Mother Goddess intervene again and turn this Lord into one of us?" Duke White Frost pondered.
Chen Mo's expression changed slightly. "You want to issue a bloodline task to him? But there's one issue: he might already be a member of the Three-Eyed Clan. Otherwise, where would he get the gene decrypter? He couldn't have made it himself. In his backward world, it would be impossible."
"The possibility is low. Perhaps his territory just happened to be located on one of the old bases, and he gained some of the technology. It might have been a bluff to trick you. If he really had become a member of the Three-Eyed Clan, why wouldn't we sense his mental connection?"
"So, whether it's the Abyssal Web or the Book of the Wise, it's likely that he just obtained some remnants of the Gendaya civilization and turned them into special structures. He doesn't have much real power. Otherwise, why wouldn't he just destroy us outright?"
"There's no need to target us so specifically. The last suppression was probably calculated using the base's AI. The number of high-level combatants is likely not many."
Duke White Frost analyzed the situation and concluded that the Lord was just lucky. If he had real power, why would he hide and not just destroy them?
After a thorough analysis, Chen Mo felt more at ease. "Just a lucky native, but he does have the strength to pick us off one by one. Fortunately, he is shortsighted and greedy, which is his weakness."
"So, as long as we can stall, he's nothing special. The key is whether we can actually stall him." Duke White Frost felt that the Lord wasn't much, but they couldn't afford to fight him head-on. Otherwise, their losses would be significant.
"In that case, we can only send some benefits to stabilize him temporarily, and then quickly find the 6th-rank hero unit he's using to attack us. We'll strike with a decisive blow when the time comes." Chen Mo suggested that they could show weakness publicly but act covertly.
There's no such thing as a thousand days of defense against a thousand days of thievery. It would be best to eliminate the Lord's key assets once and for all. Otherwise, he would continue to extort them in the future.
"Alright, you go and communicate with him, and I'll investigate in secret. We'll strike when the time comes." Duke White Frost knew that as the strongest in the territory, he had to take the lead. Although Chen Mo was also 5th-rank, there was still a gap between them. After all, Chen Mo had been a civil official and had been idle for a long time, leading to a significant decline in his combat power.
Duke White Frost, on the other hand, had recently led a large army to destroy a duchy, proving his formidable martial prowess.
"Resolve this quickly. The enemy is likely still nearby, waiting for the Lord's next instructions. Be cautious and communicate through the mental network if you find anything." Chen Mo reminded him. After all, this was a 5th-rank fighting a 6th-rank. There was definitely a risk, even with the help of Gendaya civilization's powerful equipment, Duke White Frost couldn't guarantee a 100% win.
Chen Mo didn't believe the Lord would withdraw without getting what he wanted. He was certain that the enemy was still hiding nearby, just not in his territory, which was fully covered by the mental network.
Even a 6th-rank couldn't escape the mental network's perception, with the Mother Goddess overseeing it.
Therefore, they could only investigate slowly. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to resolve this issue.
