Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1600: How to Handle This

Zhang Lie and the others didn't think poorly of aliens; rather, they believed that humans could cooperate with, but not depend on them, let alone become their lapdogs. This was consistent with the Milky Way's policy on the forces of the dimensional world.

That said, many genetic hunters thought differently, and there were plenty like N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian.

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian replied, "We do still have opportunities to fight. Each month, genetic hunters have to fight against genetic lifeforms."

Yang Ze sniffed. "Have to? What's the difference with being in the fourth realm at large, then? If you're going to need to battle with genetic lifeforms regardless, you might as well do it more freely."

Sun Xiaowu scoffed. "I'm sure there's more to it."

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian cried out, "All the hunters within lead great lives. It's far better than the fourth realm at large!"

The members of Team Zenith were clearly dubious of that claim.

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian continued to try to convince them. "Given your strength, you'd easily rise to high positions. You wouldn't need to fight against genetic lifeforms, and you could return with whatever you claimed from the treasuries. Given your strength, you'd be core members of the organization and earn the right to freely enter and leave that world at will!"

The appearance of Team Zenith had all but bankrupted the Ancient Gods' Abode.

Eternal Sun had lost five of its members, while the Ancient Gods' Abode had lost three—but those three members were part of its now-lacking core offense.

They had obtained nothing from the treasury and had even sacrificed their core members.

The Ancient Gods' Abode surely wouldn't be a match for Eternal Sun or the Demonic Temple now.

If they were to return like this, they would surely suffer, but...

If N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian managed to recruit Zhang Lie and the others, it would be akin to recovering all that lay within the treasury. The others might have failed their missions, but it would have exceeded the conditions for success. It would be rewarded with merit and obtain an elevated status in the organization.

As to whether Zhang Lie and the others would be killed or end up as members of the Ancient Gods' Abode, N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian didn't care.

In other words, N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian intended on selling out Zhang Lie and the others.

Of course, the members of Team Zenith weren't fools. Yang Ze was about to reply with a scathing retort when Zhang Lie said, "Alright."

Everyone was taken aback. N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian cried out, "You're willing to join the Ancient Gods' Abode?!"

"That's not an issue, but I'd like to see whether this supposed world of yours really is real, and how strong your leader is."

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian smiled in delight. "I'm sure it won't disappoint you!"

Sun Mengmeng raised a hand. "Hold on. We need to discuss this further."

Sun Mengmeng tugged on Zhang Lie's sleeve and brought him aside. Everyone else from Team Zenith huddled close by. Sun Mengmeng asked, "Captain, what are you thinking? Are we really going to join the Ancient Gods' Abode?"

Zhang Lie rolled his eyes. "Why would we?"

"Then why did you agree?" Sun Mengmeng was taken aback.

"Don't you want to see the world that the Ancient Gods' Abode controls?"

"I am interested, actually..." Yang Ze said.

Sun Xiaowu shrugged. "I don't care."

Fang Yi rolled his eyes. "I'm not interested, either."

Every member of Team Zenith had a different response. Zhang Lie smiled and asked, "Don't you want to see if those genetic hunters are really having a good time?"

"What are you planning, Captain?" Sun Mengmeng asked.

"Although this N'tse-Kaambl said a lot of nonsense, we obtained one important piece of information: the Ancient Gods' Abode, jointly attacked by Eternal Sun and the Demonic Palace, has lost much of its manpower. This is our best opportunity to enter their world. I'd like to have a chat with their leader, too."

Sun Mengmeng understood what Zhang Lie meant immediately. "Captain, you intend on striking at the Ancient Gods' Abode, then?"

"That depends on what they've done in the past. If the genetic hunters within really are protected, then we'll let the Ancient Gods' Abode slide by. I'll make sure the hunters gain the ability to enter and leave the world at will. Most importantly, we need to make those organizations know that the hunters of the Milky Way aren't an easy target for them."

"And if the hunters aren't doing well?" Sun Mengmeng asked.

Zhang Lie shrugged. "What else? Then there's no need to leave the Ancient Gods' Abode around, is there?"

Once Team Zenith had come to a consensus, they returned and replied to N'tse-Kaambl in the affirmative.

"You must be tired from the fighting. Rest well while we reclaim the goods from the second warehouse."

Zhou Ying stayed behind to take care of N'tse-Kaambl—or, rather, to watch over it and prevent it from running away or making a mess.

N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian really was tired after all that fighting, and didn't have the energy to continue exploring the warehouse. She accepted their 'favor' and rested.

Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith headed toward the genetic lifeform storage.

That part of the warehouse was particularly cold. Bu Wentian had flash-frozen entire genetic lifeforms and stored them within.

There, they could see all sorts of frozen genetic lifeforms on display, almost as if they were in a museum for ice sculptures.

There were so many disaster- and peak-grade lifeforms that all the hunters at a gathering point would be able to max out their disaster gene fragments.

Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith headed deep into the storage, and were taken aback when they saw ten giant ice sculptures encased in a thick layer of ice. Despite all that, they could still feel tremendous vitality brimming from them.

Sun Mengmeng gasped. "These are..."

"Monarch-grade lifeforms," Zhang Lie said seriously.

None of them had imagined that Bu Wentian's warehouse would contain monarch-grade lifeforms.

Yang Ze asked, "What should we do with them?"

"At least for the monarch-grade lifeforms, we'll break the ice and kill them immediately."

Although the monarch-grade lifeforms were strong, they had been flash-frozen. They called for Zhou Ying to join them, then easily finished them off.

[You successfully killed the monarch-grade blackwind elf. By consuming the flesh of the monarch-grade blackwind elf, you may receive one to ten monarch gene fragments.]

[You successfully killed the monarch-grade inkscale leopard. By consuming the flesh of the monarch-grade inkscale leopard, you may receive one to ten monarch gene fragments.]

[You successfully killed the monarch-grade blackwind mantis. By consuming the flesh of the monarch-grade blackwind mantis, you may receive one to ten monarch gene fragments.]
