Hye didn't mind such a result, nor the time taken in doing this. At the end, he made them focus on mass producing them, and he ended up having tons of them after twenty years.
On the other hand, Hye started to focus on raising the levels of his forces. He learnt from Silverlining that U.Stat crystals, or the USC, weren't that easy to acquire.
Most of the races dealt with them as strategic weapons and assets for their people and forces. Even when Hye tried to make a trade with his bones, the offers he got from many races were really disappointing.
There were mines scattered all over the universe, ones that had tons of these USCs. but it was expected that all of the big races were already fighting and seizing most, and the rest fell under the control of many weaker races and empires.
Even if they were weak, they were much stronger than Hye. That put him under a great dilemma. The fastest way to raise his forces' might was by using these USC. And without them, his forces would always be weak, not able to fight against other races and empires.
Without having such might, Hye knew it was impossible to secure more resources and lands. That was a vicious circle, one that brought quite the headache for him for the past twenty years.
Hye already has the tech needed to build intergalactical portals. These were the safest way to travel through the vast universe. He also gained the tech to build ships that could travel across space, and these came as a golden chance for him.
His new world, the Grand Earth, might be situated in the middle of the universe. There weren't free resources anywhere around to be found, no lands to conquer. But that wasn't the case for the second Earth world.
That world was a singular world, one that was situated in the middle of black hole. Hye placed more hopes on exploring that part of space, the only part he could get access towards and might find lots of undiscovered and free resources.
But to build enough space fleet, he got to spend lots of wealth and bones on this. Not to mention he gained that tech a bit late, just fifteen years after the end of the apocalypse.
Yet Hye focused on developing a grand fleet in the past five years. He managed to have around a hundred ships and kept them stored until now.
He trained lots of forces and gained more armies and generals. Yet without ongoing wars, it was impossible to have an experienced army. And that made the soldiers and armies surviving after the trial priceless in his eyes.
Hye appointed Lily as his vice, Isac as the general leader of the construction projects, Karoline for supplies and resources, and Legend to lead the training of armies and generals.
Things weren't just going smooth for his kingdom, but for himself as well. The old curse with girls got solved after killing that god. And now Hye had his own harem of ladies, including Lily, Isac, Karoline, and even Sara.
From his girls he got twelve sons and twenty daughters. This might be great, but he refused to let them live into the second Earth world, even refused to let them get born there.
He wanted them to live their lives normally. His kingdom had one hundred years of protection, enough for his kids to grow up normally and enjoy their lives.
Yet he planned training sessions for them. He didn't plan to let them all become generals, but he made sure all of them got trained on military actions.
Who knew what future would carry for them. During all this time, Silverlining tried many times to invite him to come over and visit the Toranks empire. Yet he wanted to remain inside his Grand Earth world, enjoy such a peaceful life and make sure his kingdom was walking on the right path.
But after twenty years, he realised it was time to go out and visit the vast universe. Once he decided, he told everyone close to him to make various preparations.
In his eyes, his kingdom was like a newly born beast. And that beast just grew fangs and claws, was ready to move and announce its presence to the entire universe.
So Hye didn't just plan to come out from this shell and visit the Toranks race, he intended to start an all-out display of power.
He might have very little chance in taking worlds for himself, but he already studied and gathered information all these years about the right spots he might attack.
Not to mention he wanted to start exploring space outside the second Earth world.
Right now Hye was sitting in his palace, lying over his golden throne, with all the big names in his kingdom surrounding him.
The entire hall was filled with lots of figures. Be it a grand general or a capable official, all were sitting in front of him, waiting for his answer.
"So… You advise me against trying out attacking any world for now?" Hye raised his eyes over the windows he was reading their content for the past hours.
The officials and generals already prepared lots of data and documents about the current status of the army and kingdom, including their overall opinion about what they should and shouldn't do.
Hye didn't like this. He knew they got a point in their demonstration, but he still wanted to give it a try.
In his eyes, he had enough armies to fill many worlds with, lots of capable generals, and many deadly weapons.
The main concern everyone was worrying about was the portal network linking any world with the bigger alliance they were part of. Yet Hye already studied everything about the various powers in the universe, and knew the general situation wasn't that bleak and gloomy.
Many forces already were strong and scary, but they got most of their military power scattered to protect the more important places in the universe.
