Chapter 816: Retaliatory Strike

Sandstorm World.

Sein had begun conducting his bloodline purification experiment almost immediately upon returning to this low-level plane.

The complexity of the experiment, involving many mysteries and knowledge outside Sein’s expertise, demanded his full attention.

For this reason, he even had to decline Tourmaline’s invitation to play with her.

Tourmaline seemed to be the only one in the Wild Gorilla World who could still think about how to have fun every day.

While Sein was engrossed in his bloodline experiments, the business cooperation between the Kermoine Serpent Warlock Clan, the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, and Black Oblivion progressed smoothly.

More than half a year ago, the Verdant Spring Space Fortress, filled with millions of enslaved subgorillas, returned on schedule last month.

This returning space fortress brought not only substantial magicoin proceeds for Lorianne, Black Oblivion, and others but also rare resources that were scarce even within the Magus Alliance’s territory.

Black Oblivion’s uncle was truly a powerful and enigmatic figure.

In an act of familial support, he offered another option for trade beyond the standard magicoins.

The resources, rare even in the Magus Alliance, were valued at double their worth.

Unsurprisingly, Black Oblivion chose the second option, leading to substantial profits, and Lorianne benefitted greatly as well.

Initially, Black Oblivion and the other magic beast kings had come to Wild Gorilla World for profit through Lorianne’s connections.

Yet, it was Lorianne who ended up capitalizing on Black Oblivion’s family ties.

The West Coast Kermoine Serpent Warlock Clan, despite their alliances with the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring and Black Oblivion, did not receive any special advantages.

All the slaves they traded for were paid in magicoins.

Nevertheless, the Kermoine Serpent Warlocks were content with their gains.

To further boost the trade volume, they even provided two space fortresses to transport enslaved creatures.

It was only then that the full strength and resources of the Kermoine Serpent Warlock Clan became evident.

It turned out that this powerful clan had more than one powerhouse among its members.

In addition to their Rank Five clan head, the Kermoine Serpent Warlock Clan also boasted two Rank Four warlocks.

With such formidable strength, it was no surprise that they managed to secure three complete planes within the Wild Gorilla Star Domain and supported a significant trade quota for enslaved creatures.

Destroying the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring would not only bring Wild Gorilla God a sense of satisfaction but would also deal a significant blow to Feylis.

Moreover, Black Oblivion and Tourmaline, who held special statuses within the Magus World, were also present in the Sandstorm World at this time.

The potential value of eliminating these two far exceeded that of taking out Lorianne, a Rank Four mage.

Tyrant Tiger King had correctly anticipated that if Black Oblivion and Tourmaline fell into the hands of Wild Gorilla God, the Magus Civilization would undoubtedly be forced to respond decisively.

This could accelerate the confrontation between the two top civilizations.

Given that neither was fully prepared for all-out war, any early conflict would see both sides engaging on essentially equal footing.

Sandstorm World was not the only target. Other nearby complete planes, such as Arbitor World and Luther Planet, were also on Wild Gorilla God’s list for retaliatory strikes.

Some of these worlds were defended by Rank Four or higher powerhouses from the Magus Civilization, while others were not.

For instance, Luther Planet, named by the Wild Gorilla Clan, had been conquered and occupied by the forces of the Magus Civilization, but the Rank Four mage responsible for overseeing the planet’s development had departed shortly after its capture, without even bothering to rename it.

Despite that mage’s absence, Luther Planet remained an essential logistical hub for the Wild Gorilla World battlefield.

The Verdant Spring Space Fortress, which had recently completed its trade of enslaved creatures, had stopped at Luther Planet for resupply on its way back to the Sandstorm World.

Though currently without the presence of a Rank Four or above mage, there were eight space fortresses, countless prism forts and war airships docked at Luther Planet.

Much of the vast wealth that the Magus Civilization had plundered from the Wild Star Domain was routed through Luther Planet on its way back to the Magus Civilization’s territories.

The planet even housed a medium-sized interstellar spatial passage.

On this particular day, Sein’s bloodline purification experiment had just reached its second stage when the once-bright sky suddenly darkened.

Even Sein’s laboratory took on an oppressive, shadowy atmosphere.

The blaring alarms and the glow of the magic shields activating forced all mages, including Sein, to halt their activities and assemble urgently.

Despite experiencing tightness in his chest from abruptly ending his bloodline purification experiment, Sein hurriedly donned his magic robe and made his way to his designated post.

Fortunately, the strain on Sein’s body was not severe; he would be able to recover after a brief period of recuperation.

As Sein stepped out of the magic tower, he barely had time to process what was happening before he saw the sky littered with countless dark dots.

These were Wild Gorilla soldiers, descending from beyond the planar barrier, one after another.

Unlike the subgorilla slaves that had been captured and sold, these soldiers were purebred Wild Gorillas.

Sein could feel their presence that they were battle-hardened elites who had fought through countless wars!
