Chapter 399: Tsuka’s Awakening
Soon after their meeting, the Star Alliance started moving like a machine.
Tearing down all the buildings they’d set up, they collected the various materials and dark technology for storage.
Leaving their base for good, they could only take everything with them.
Although it might be insignificant, it was the treasure they’d dug through sweat and blood.
Meanwhile, as everyone was packing, a few representatives began walking around the stronghold, telling them the news.
“What? The Star Alliance is leaving this place?”
“Does that mean it’ll be ours?”
Instead of thinking of the danger, they quickly thought of the profit the Alliance would leave behind.
Situated on one of the main veins, the resources around were truly infinite.
Even after mining for months, they hadn’t even made a dent as resource points continued to grow.
If the Star Alliance left, did that mean it would be theirs?
As for recruitment? To hell with that!
Unfortunately, they were merely dreaming, as a cold voice shattered their reverie.
“Before leaving, we’ll cut off this main vein, leaving nothing behind.” Fisher reminded.
“This—how could you be so cruel?”
“Can’t you leave us something?”
“That’s right! We’re all from the Solaris domain! How could you cut off our lifeline?”
“If you don’t want it, you can leave it to us!”
Although the resource point could only produce tier 5 resources, it was more than enough for them to upgrade their shelters to level 5.
As for level 6 and level 7? Those were too far away.
“It’s not possible. Cutting off this main vein isn’t out of selfishness, but because it’s a necessity.” Fisher sighed.
Some knowledgeable Void Marshals also nodded, understanding the reasoning behind his words.
To conquer the core vein with their strength was naturally impossible.
As a place that could produce tier 6 and tier 7 resources, no matter how much talent or numbers they had, it would be like an egg hitting a stone.
To even have a fighting chance, they had to destroy all the main veins connected to the core vein.
Although it would weaken the place, the resources that were already generated wouldn’t disappear.
Only the dark beasts that depended on the power of the dark energy would be weaker, giving them a tiny chance.
Thus, not only the main vein where they were situated, but all the other main veins occupied by other top alliances would be cut off.
Even those main veins that hadn’t been occupied needed to be pursued and destroyed.
Soon, with a few people explaining the matter, everyone calmed down, then began to feel fear.
It wasn’t the fear of death, but the fear of failure.
With all the main veins destroyed, would the resources around even be abundant enough for their shelters to advance?
Even those with level 4 shelters began to feel gloomy.
Having only a level 4 shelter was merely a passing grade.
If they wanted to advance perfectly, they had to upgrade their shelters to at least level 5.
However, without the main veins supporting the endless generation of resource points, coupled with the dangers, could they achieve it with only a few months left on the clock?
Thinking of the Star Alliance’s proposal, they couldn’t help but be silent.
Those with tier 4 shelters could join with their entire team.
Those with level 3 and below could only join individually.
Nonetheless, they had to listen to the orders of the Star Alliance from now on.
As for going alone? It wasn’t possible.
Unless they were close to other top alliances, they couldn’t join the raid without a representative from the Solaris Alliance.
“You have a few days to decide. Whether to follow us or not, it’s up to you.” Fisher said, taking his men to continue spreading the news.
—
A few days later, as everyone finished packing up, Tsuka finally reached the tipping point and advanced.
Lighting up the dark plane, all attention unconsciously turned to it.
Watching a mysterious beast shoot up to the sky, everyone unconsciously gasped.
“This—”
“Isn’t that the mysterious beast of the Nova Team?”
“Did it advance to level 5?”
“Huh~ Awesome! A shining light! A shooting star! The Nova Team achieved the impossible!”
Reaching a level 5 shelter was everyone’s dream.
Yet 99% of them failed to reach it.
However, the Nova Shelter, a first-timer in the Ashura Path, reached it easily!
With about half a year left on the clock, they’d managed to score a perfect sheet.
Even those cosmic teams with level 4 shelters in the Star Alliance couldn’t help but feel envious.
Although they were part of the Alliance, their chances of reaching level 5 shelters were slim.
Perhaps, if their raid on the core vein were a success, they could also reach this seemingly impossible goal.
Thinking of this, they unconsciously clenched their fists, ready to give everything.

Meanwhile, Nash leisurely examined Tsuka, who’d grown into a monstrous giant.
From a thousand kilometers, Tsuka had shot up to three thousand kilometers.
Bloating three times its size, Tsuka was a colossal giant.
That was just in terms of pure height. Including its length and width, anyone who gazed at Tsuka would think they were staring at a wall.
“You’re so big now…”
“Tsuka~ can still grow.” A voice echoed in his mind.
“Hmm? You can finally speak?!”
In the past, while Tsuka could convey its intentions to his mind, it was all instinctual.
Now, however, Tsuka could converse with him in complete sentences.
“Tsuka is a top-tier mysterious beast, so speaking is easy!” Tsuka snorted proudly.
As its bloodline awakened, so did its memory.
Knowing it was one of the eight celestial elephants, Tsuka couldn’t be prouder.
“I see. You really are great!” Nash praised.
Usually, a mysterious beast could only talk once it advanced to level 6 or 7.
Tsuka, however, given its top bloodline, was able to do so as early as level 5.
“Tsuka is the best!”
“Haha, you really are. So what ability have you awakened this time?” Nash asked in excitement.
Since Tsuka was able to awaken its intelligence, the innate ability it awakened should be different.
