Chapter 675 - 289: Devouring the Plane, Extra Gains, Resurrection
And after the plane collapse, its will would perish too.
No longer able to mobilize the power of the plane to shield against outside intrusion.
The power of the plane dissipated after the collapse was absorbed wave after wave by Lear.
The collapse of an entire plane emits energy far stronger than a landslide or earthquake; for the beings living on the plane, it’s a disaster of extinction.
But for Lear at this moment, it was an immense reward.
Using Swamp Power as a lead, he began to devour the power of the plane, which all transformed into the Origin Power of the Divine Kingdom.
The already solid plane barrier continued to strengthen.
Meanwhile, the boundary area extended outward and expanded again.
He could feel this plane like a fallen whale, with rich flesh freely available for him to take.
With the massive infusion of power from the plane, the Swamp Divine Kingdom gradually expanded from 180 kilometers to 200 kilometers.
Once again, an increase was encountered.
But after reaching 200 kilometers, he felt an obvious bottleneck arise.
No matter how he tried, progress could not be made.
Finally confirming... the Divine Kingdom had reached its limit, unable to improve further with existing methods.
To continue expanding, new techniques were necessary.
Lear sensed this, his eyes showing some regret.
He had hoped to reach a 300-kilometer diameter in one effort, but now it was impossible... yet the power of the plane was not wasted.
All of it was used to fortify the barrier of the Divine Kingdom.
Additionally, due to the influx of massive Origin Energy, the rules of the Divine Kingdom became complete, and the transformation of the Swamp Divine Race quickened...
The devouring process lasted a full 5 hours, until the afternoon, when the space crack completely vanished after a final explosion.
The void returned to normal, with no trace of anomaly detected.
It was as if everything that had happened was a mere illusion.
Thus, this sudden event came to a complete closure.
And this time, with intelligence prompting in advance, the layout yielded exceptionally rich rewards.
Including the previously enslaved Two-winged Demons, this Level-18, 5-Star military force totaled 26 squadrons!!
This is undoubtedly an exaggerated figure!
More importantly, throughout the process, he had paid no price.
Merely having Kalanis and an Extraordinary Vampire block the front briefly.
Also, additional gains included the collapsed dimension plane providing vast power from the plane.
Making the barrier of the Divine Kingdom thicker and its area expanded to the extreme.
It felt somewhat delightful.
After gathering his thoughts, Lear looked at the elegant, wing-flapping, bone sword-wielding Two-winged Demons and nodded in satisfaction.
Excellent, very excellent!
With this army in hand, the power at his disposal soared again.
Once the Cold-blooded Cavalry is fully transformed, boosting the number of Masters of Marshes to two or three squadrons, Weilu City need not worry about any outside threats.
On the spot, personally commanding, Lear mixed the new Two-winged Demons with the previous ones, having the veterans teach them the rules of Weilu City.
After settling things here, Lear didn’t idle; he ordered Kalanis to take a large unit of Two-winged Demons to leave the swamp and head to the Bone-Eating Werewolf’s domain to bring back all Deltha people.
The Bone-Eating Werewolves were located 320 kilometers southeast, these underground beings enslaving over ten thousand Deltha people as food reserves.
These people, in his eyes, are precious assets.
They are not just labor, but also followers.
Kalanis went on her mission, taking a full unit of Two-winged Demons and 4 squadrons of Bubble Beasts sourced from the Original Plane, setting off immediately.
This fierce warrior didn’t need to waste words; her slight release of aura instilled immense fear in the Two-winged Demons.
With no inner resistance, they obediently followed her into action.
After Kalanis left, Lear looked at the bald, hooked-nose, blue-eyed Extraordinary Vampire.
He issued orders as well.
"Go bring back all the warriors of the Stevens Clan..."
"Yes, Sovereign!"
The external situation is unpredictable, so gathering strength in hand to build up one’s foundation is never a bad move.
Vampires need blood to maintain their life traits and combat strength; supporting thousands is not easy.
But with a pig farm already developed, he’s not afraid of raising this army.
After the Extraordinary Vampire departed, Lear glanced at the intelligence.
The remaining intelligence items have time limits, and it’s not yet time; impatience won’t help.
Only the third 2-Star intelligence refreshed yesterday is actionable now—
Mire Swamp↓ 400 kilometers south, a dimension plane will appear.
Inside lives over ten thousand Half-Elves, whose leader is a Level-15 Half-Elf Hero; defeating them with absolute power will allow direct assimilation of these Half-Elves.
Half-Elves are hybrids of Elves and Humans, and Lear had enslaved over a thousand before.
These beings are not only highly attractive but also skillful and agile; with faith conversion, they become highly steadfast, providing a stable source of Power of Faith.
Being smart, with excellent learning and execution abilities, they not only play key roles in all positions within Weilu City but also over a hundred Half-Elves have become administrative personnel in the City Hall.
Moreover, not just in ordinary jobs but even in adulthood, they generally surpass Level 5, serving as ready reserves in wartime.
A truly ideal race.
The only flaw perhaps is their inherited Elven pride, but it is not really an issue.
Lear slightly perceived this; now with the Goddess of Misfortune in the Original Plane as reinforcement, the surroundings are peaceful.
