Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1028 Old Enemies

A few months passed after Michael's secondary body was formed. He was busy in the Origin Expanse and didn't hear much about the trouble in the cosmos. Hiraku and some other Super Awakened, as well as a few dozen Divine Subordinates, talked about the situation in the Titan War sometimes, but Michael never intercepted when something went wrong, which happened more often than Michael had hoped for.

A few Super Awakened died to Divine Lifeforms as a result of underestimating their enemies. They have been fighting and defeating powerful enemies for months now, only to overestimate their power while also underestimating the possible power level of enemy Divine Lifeforms. Some Divine Hyumans might actually be weak, but that didn't mean everyone was weak. Not everyone would die from a Soultrait Combo of six to eight Soultrait Symbols. Some would block the incoming attacks or evade them. Or they would attack the Super Awakened long before their Soultrait Combo could be unleashed in the first place.

Michael chose to give the Super Awakened some free time and pull them away from the battles in the cosmos. Most of them didn't want to relax and lusted for vengeance, but that was exactly what Michael wanted to prevent. The desire to take revenge on their enemies was hard to control. Michael knew that better than most, and he could already see his friends and comrades loosening themselves and dying miserably in the attempt to take revenge.

Michael, however, did not want this to happen, which was how he forced some paid time off onto them.

They still trained a lot back in the Origin Expanse and ended up hunting some highly aggressive monsters as well, but the danger level was not as great as it would have been against Divine Hyumans.

But while they were displeased, Michael was very pleased with himself. The death of the Super Awakened was bad, but the gains he made were tremendous. Michael had no idea where the Supreme Human Alliance produced all those High Awakened and Divine Hyumans because there were way too many enemies, and it looked like their numbers would never decrease, but it was not all bad.

The Divine Subordinates and Super Awakened brought back mountains of corpses from their hunts…and they hunted a lot. The Soultrait Symbols and SoulStar Fragments, as well as the portions of War Rune storages extracted from the deceased, filled the Jungle Shop's warehouse to the brim. Simultaneously, the Super Awakened gained a lot, roughly 10% of the SoulStar Fragments from every Awakened they had hunted and brought back. That was a lot, and it most certainly motivated the Super Awakened to work harder.

Some Super Awakened managed to advance their Soultraits to 7-Star, whereas others focused on pushing all Soultraits to 5-Star and 6-Star first. Everyone had a different tactic, but the Super Awakened never failed to surprise him with their tactics and recent purchases. The Soul Spheres had already been created, but not many had started infusing SoulStar Fragments into it to form Empty Soul Sockets. That was until recently when some Super Awakened discovered a planet filled with very familiar beings. Oddly enough, the Forest Rangers and Warlock Centaur Scouts, alongside the Minor Typhoon Rocs, discovered the exact same beings in the Origin Expanse.

The Tekur were back! "Do you want us to fight the Tekur right away, or do you wish to negotiate with them first? They might be enemy of the Supreme Human Alliance, which would help us. Defeating them would decimate them and weaken our numbers drastically if we are unlucky to encounter one of the Tekur's strongest powerhouses," Siegfried Dragoon inquired when he first heard about their encounter with the Tekur.

"Do you know the Tekur? We fought them in the Tritan Alliance because they tore open a portal to one of the Berserker's planets." Michael asked out of curiosity.

"I do know them. The Tekur are considered the pest of the universe. Nobody wants to fight them because their grudge is never-ending. They're as petty as you can get. Fight them, and they will make sure to fight you until the end of time. I managed to fight and defeat one of their Lords in the Origin Expanse, but the losses were too great. Especially when more Tekur appeared out of nowhere. I was sure to have eliminated all of them, only for Assassins and smaller units of their kin to appear near and within my territory when I was still a reigning Lord." Siegfried told Michael. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Michael hadn't heard a lot about Siegfried's past and his time in the Origin Expanse, but the old man was a valuable comrade and a trusted subject. "That being said, you can never defeat all of them. Maybe you can crush one of their planets, obliterating tens of billions of their kind, but even if you burn all of their planets to ashes, you will never kill all of them. Some of them will survive, and they will grow again. This time, more resilient and stronger than ever. And they will want to hunt you!"

Michael nodded slowly while considering Siegfried's words.

"But if they hold a grudge, they will hate me already. I fought and killed them in the Interstellar Flag War. The first time, I was too weak to kill all of them. Some will remember me and probably resent me a lot if they're as petty as you said. If they hold onto grudges like no other race, they will recognize me and attack." Siegfried frowned but nodded slowly, "In that case, let's send someone else for negotiations. I don't think they will work because Tekur isn't known for sharing their living space with others, but the least we can do is request negotiations. If they deny them and attack, we can retaliate without any qualms."

Michael was unsure if that was necessary, but he nodded.

"Let's deploy one of our Forest Elves or Silverfangs, though. I somehow doubt they like humans and maybe not even Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs, given their encounters in the first few years of the Interstellar Flag War."

Siegfried thought about it for a moment and agreed, too.

"That might be for the best."

Now that they came to a conclusion, Michael deployed an escort of Forest Elves to follow Lilica, who was going to negotiate with the Tekur. Nobody expected anything great and Michael was actually certain the Tekur would attack the Forest Elves, but he trusted Lilica to survive. She was strong and not so easy to fool.

However, Michael didn't expect the escort of Forest Elves to get attacked by the Tekur even before they reached the borders of their territory. Assassins of the Tekur must have invaded the outer areas of the neighboring territory with the intention of inflicting as much harm as possible.

Little did they know how stupid it was to attack Lilica and her escort in open lands. The escort was full of powerful Awakened with multiple Tracking Soultraits, Danger Sense Soultraits, and the means to retaliate with both brute force and deadly tactics.

Lilica spiked the Assassins with a barrage of arrows the moment they initiated the attack. That was how the war with the Tekur began both inside the Origin Expanse and outside in the wide-open cosmos.
