Chapter 265: The Mysterious Figure Behind The Scenes
—–
The world of Amphibi was slowly being occupied by the many space pirates around the planet, the Saphibian tribes were being pushed farther and farther from their original lands, however, many of them were still managing to survive and prosper.
Nonetheless, the space pirates expanded more and more, while capturing the tribes they found and enslaving them. They forced them to extract the rich resources of this planet such as the nutrient-rich soil that was within the depths of the shallow swamp oceans that covered this planet, nourished after millions of years of many lifeforms perishing and filling it with nutrients with their decomposing bodies over many years.
However, it was also because of the many ancient and powerful beings that had perished in the past that had also changed this soil and even made it into a very incredible divine material highly bought all around the Galaxy. Not only mortals could use it to make crops easily grow in their fields and feed countless of people across planets with this rich and magical soil, but Gods could buy it as well and use it on their divine realms, which would allow them to easily grow plant-type divine materials and make a lot of profit by how fast they could grow!
But this entire organization wasn’t letting other organizations come here to grab a piece of their pie, therefore, they had to be very careful and guard the space frontiers from any enemy ship that could try to land here and extract this resource.
Within the capital city they had built atop the planet’s north pole, which was really covered by any ice due to how warm the planet’s temperature was, filling everything with swamps and jungles, there was a signal emerging within the artifact that one of the powerful entities assigned to this planet held.
“Hm?”
The man looked into the artifact as he noticed something rather strange, three of his elite workers, who were all powerful God-Realm beings, suddenly died.
Out of nowhere.
He knew that they had died because there was a special chip in their bodies which kept track on people.
When the person that held the chip died, the chip would quickly realize this and send a different signal back to the person inspecting these gods.
However, the chip itself was already completely destroyed, so it appeared with no signal.
“They died?!”
Of course, it was completely possible to take out the chip and make it as if they had died, but the man had already seen the skull-shaped icon that appears when someone died. These three gods had indeed perished before the chips were destroyed.
“Impossible… there shouldn’t be anyone in this entire planet capable of even fighting a single god, how come they slain three of them at once?! And the time of their deaths is almost synchronized! Is there someone within these pitiful amphibians capable of slaying three gods or… could there be a traitor within my men? No… that’s unlikely, they’re all enslaved to me, within the contract it shows they cannot try to kill each other, or they’ll be severely punished and stopped before that even happens… So who…? Who did this?”
The man looked into the artifact and then utilized some magic, infusing his vision into it and then looking through the entire planet through various satellites stationed around the planet.
He expanded his vision and then looked around the place where they had formerly died, it took some time to do, and it would be impossible to do if it wasn’t because the chips had left the last signal there.
“Huh?”
What he saw was rather surprisingly unappealing, it was just a small tribe of Saphibians living their lives as if nothing. But somehow these simpletons had actually slain three gods?
How come?!
How was this even possible?
Could it be that they had some sort of God-Realm divine beast they had tamed?
The man inspected and there was no gigantic monster these people were taking care of.
Then what else?
He looked around intensively but to no avail there was nothing he could find.
He was incapable of sensing auras or divinities through these satellites, and his powers couldn’t let him see in detail from so far away, so this was everything he could do for now.
Nonetheless, this made him very doubtful, he began to ponder what it could be, as many questions emerged on his mind, alongside many theories of what could had truly happened.
Within these theories there was one about invaders from outside.
He suddenly remembered that two days ago he had felt the strong presence of a thing, a living being descending from outer space.
He had expected it to be a dying Cosmic Beast. It wasn’t so uncommon for these beasts of outer space to suddenly die out of old age and then slowly have their bodies pulled by the gravity of a nearby planet, without enough strength to move away, they would end ultimately being thrown into the planet’s atmosphere and clash over its surface, usually dying in the process.
He had been expecting this to happen already and had even prepared for the extraction of this corpse which would meant a bit of extra money as he could sell cosmic beast materials in the black intergalactic market.
However, nothing like that happened and when this living entity, which wasn’t really a spaceship and this is why he didn’t attacked it, landed on this planet, it suddenly dissipated from his radars.
“Could this living being… be something else? A god? No, I would had sensed the divinity! Then what? How…? Tch! There’s no point in thinking this too much, overthinking the situation will only make me waste more money, I will have to send a fleet there, but… if they can slay three gods what makes it impossible for them to not be able to slay more? Hmph… Oh, maybe I could use THAT… Heh, imbeciles, to think you would try to come to my planet, kill my servants, and then attempt to rob me as if nothing!” laughed the man, his plans were quickly set in motion…
