Chapter 566: A Vast Number of Star Gods
Chapter 566: A Vast Number of Star Gods
"Found them, there are actually more than a dozen Star Gods hidden in this star domain alone," Qin Mu Ye's expression was somewhat shocked.
Currently, they are all at the 8th stage, just at the initial level. Qin Mu Ye could wipe them out by himself, even the lower S-rank beings in the Shining Universe Server would be decimated.
The Star Gods were in the process of merging and sleeping. If it weren't for Qin Mu Ye using the Civilization Son weapon to detect them, they would definitely not have been found. It took him nearly ten days just to adjust, and he even had to use a significant amount of the Star Array's computational power to achieve this.
"Assuming there are ten Star Gods per star domain, even without considering the unknown star domains, the number of Star Gods in the known star domains alone is..." Qin Mu Ye's expression was one of disbelief. If it were just one star domain with ten Star Gods, it wouldn't be a problem, but there are hundreds of thousands of known star domains. How can anyone handle that? Even one Star God per star domain would be overwhelming.
"This cosmic will has really fragmented itself into countless pieces," Qin Mu Ye was dumbfounded.
He hadn't expected the 9th stage to be so exaggerated, capable of splitting into so many 8th stage beings. Even if the entire Shining Universe Server is the opponent's home ground, this was still too much.
"It looks like the plan to take over will have to be more cautious," the results of this investigation surprised Qin Mu Ye. He had underestimated the gap between the 8th and 9th stages.
However, he didn't want to give up just yet. A larger plan was forming in his mind.
"I'll directly turn the Star Gods. When the cosmic will's minions are all mine, I'll see how you can still win."
Qin Mu Ye's idea was simple. Since these Star Gods haven't completed their fusion, if a direct approach won't work, he would break it down into steps.
The fact that the Star Gods haven't fully developed is the greatest convenience.
This process is very similar to what happened on the Magic Continent. If Qin Mu Ye had been able to detect everything and act earlier, the Mother of Races wouldn't have been able to return. Everything would have become Qin Mu Ye's advantage.
The current situation with the Star Gods and the cosmic will is the same.
"Seizing the initiative makes many things easier."
"However, this can't be done too overtly; it needs to be done covertly."
Qin Mu Ye piloted the Civilization Son weapon to a deserted planet. This was a resource planet that had already been stripped bare, with no life forms left on it, so it hadn't become a no-man's land. It just floated in space like a corpse.
It was not only inconspicuous but also repulsive.
But it was precisely in this situation that a new life was reviving within the corpse. Once it successfully emerged, the ravaged body would burst forth with an extremely terrifying force.
After Qin Mu Ye arrived, this opportunity was clearly lost.
The Civilization Son emitted an invisible frequency, continuously inducing mental resonance. A will within the originally lifeless planet began to stir and awaken, seemingly prematurely awakened and somewhat confused.
Before this will could react, Qin Mu Ye once again activated the Civilization Son's invasive frequency, and the awakened will instantly fell into a state of stagnation.
It was as if its soul had been extracted, appearing very dazed.
"Good effect, now it's time to act."
A trace of Abyssal power from Qin Mu Ye spread over and was instantly integrated into this will.
Feeling the new connection, Qin Mu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
"Success, this thing has become one of my avatars."
"And it still retains enough self-awareness without the cosmic will noticing any difference."
This single avatar wasn't much, but what if there were tens of thousands, even millions? When the cosmic will uses the Star Gods to form a gestalt consciousness and regain its strength, things will get interesting.
"This is just the beginning."
Qin Mu Ye knew that converting and infecting them one by one wasn't practical, given the sheer number, which even gave him a headache. Therefore, he needed a highly infectious method, allowing the Star Gods to infect each other and all become his avatars.
Fortunately, Abyssal power is very adept at this, and with the Civilization Son weapon, which specializes in dealing with the Star Gods and the cosmic will, the task was more feasible.
"Let's start by converting a hundred thousand Star Gods. Although it might just be a drop in the ocean, I wonder if I can complete it before the Star Gods fully awaken."
Based on Qin Mu Ye's observation of the Star God he just converted, the fusion was already very high, almost ready to break out.
True chaos is about to begin.
In Wang Wei's memories, the disaster of the Star Gods lasted for two thousand years. But according to Qin Mu Ye's estimation, even two years would be a stretch for various civilizations to survive. The sheer number of 8th stage beings is something the natives simply cannot resist.
If Qin Mu Ye fails this time, he will run away immediately rather than stubbornly fight. The number of 8th stage beings is ridiculously high.
Even if their individual strength is slightly lower, the sheer quantity can make up for the quality.
If they were to fully hatch, a horde of 8th stage Star Gods swarming towards Qin Mu Ye would force him to turn and run rather than fight to the death. He truly cannot win.
Even if these Star Gods were to be compared to the lower S-rank beings in the Shining Universe Server, the gap is significant, but Qin Mu Ye cannot guarantee that all of them are lower S-rank. There might be some Star Gods with strength comparable to his own.
Things don't always go as Qin Mu Ye plans. The Star Gods being at least 8th stage doesn't mean they won't grow and become stronger. With the support of the cosmic will, this process is very fast. Therefore, to win, he must complete his plan as quickly as possible in the early stages. Otherwise, if the process drags on, there will be no benefit.
With such a large number of 8th stage beings, even the three major powers would likely kneel and surrender immediately.
The combined 8th stage beings of all the forces in the Shining Universe Server probably wouldn't even make up one percent of the Star Gods, and they wouldn't be defeated one by one but crushed all at once. Who could possibly win in such a scenario?
Before truly facing the vast number of Star Gods, Qin Mu Ye didn't feel the pressure. But when he confronted them directly, the pressure was real and immense.
After infecting the first Star God, Qin Mu Ye continued to infect the other Star Gods in the star domain, becoming increasingly proficient.
"This speed won't do." After infecting ten Star Gods in the star domain, Qin Mu Ye felt the efficiency was too slow.
"First, I'll return to my territory and have the goblins help me. There's strength in numbers."
He couldn't possibly travel through all the star domains in the server at an overloaded speed without causing a backlash from the natives. Such behavior is like a nuclear bomb walking through a busy street; even if you know it won't explode, it still causes anxiety. Moreover, 8th stage beings crossing boundaries is taboo, and they might be besieged by others.
"With the Abyssal infection device and the Star God radar, there shouldn't be any problems."
Qin Mu Ye was also a bit anxious; otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of this only after handling ten Star Gods. It's like floating on three pieces of wood while crossing a river, thinking there's no danger, only to realize they are crocodiles. Since the fact of crocodiles is established, the difference lies in the type of crocodile. Turning these crocodiles into Yangtze alligators gives a sliver of hope, whereas a saltwater crocodile would mean certain doom.
"The efficiency might be a bit low." Qin Mu Ye pondered. If the goblins were to handle it, they would need to infect at least a hundred thousand Star Gods.
"And time-wise, it would probably take a month for each Star God, and more time if they are stronger."
The Star Gods are weaklings to Qin Mu Ye, and infecting them into avatars is quick because he is the one doing it. But they are still 8th stage beings, far beyond what 7th stage goblins can handle.
Even without danger, it would take a month to infect each one, a conservative estimate.
Improving efficiency might not be realistic because the goblins are operating the devices. If their actions are too fast, they might be discovered. Dying isn't a problem as they can revive, but a chain reaction could be disastrous.
"Deploying a million goblins should be sufficient." Qin Mu Ye estimated the number of goblins, feeling a bit tight.
The goblins are responsible for many projects, such as the GROX Empire's ring world prison project. After the initial batch, Qin Mu Ye gradually added another million goblins to fully understand and dismantle the ring world, bringing everything back.
Fortunately, Qin Mu Ye doesn't have to worry about this, as he only gives orders. The goblins handling this task are the Black Hand.
