Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 548: Chapter 116: Space Becomes Constant, Beyond the Cosmos?

Like the shattering of a spatial mirror.

A colossal Snake Head emerged, its pupils like silver full moons.

As it continuously extended its form out from Subspace,

its terrifying posture and physique delivered a powerful shock to the many Deities present.

Its entire body was the color of ink, yet also like transparent blackness.

Its overlapping scales resembled upright blades.

It had only just made its Initial Entry into the Authority Level.

In its snake form, Kukudar’s body already exceeded one hundred million kilometers in length.

It had to be said.

Even Lince had to marvel; it was truly the sole Ancient Deity to have emerged from a Barbaric Planet.

With such a foundation and Potential, the gap between it and other Ancient Gods was completely clear at the Authority Level.

The Authority Level of the Feathered Insect God and the Frost Giant was completely incomparable to Kukudar’s.

"Bro... Brother, I have not failed to live up to your expectations."

Following a sudden contraction of the dense blackness, Kukudar’s Divine Body was completely withdrawn in the next moment.

What now appeared before Lince and the Deities was a black-haired youth.

Influenced by Blue Star, as well as by Lince and the seven second-tier Players, Kukudar had long ago chosen what his regular form would look like.

And this youth, who appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old, was Kukudar.

"Mm, not bad."

"Now, with you watching over the Star Empire, I can be at ease."

Lince was also in his original human form at this moment.

And the hundred-plus Deities who had come on this trip, regardless of their strength, all appeared in human form.

The Feathered Insect God and the Frost Giant were, of course, among them.

The two of them looked at Kukudar with expressions of undisguised envy.

Although they were all Authority Level, the gap between them—in terms of their bodies and even the Power of their Laws—seemed to be immense.

However, for these two, there was nothing to complain about.

After all, Kukudar was their direct leader.

Kukudar had been the one to subjugate them in the first place.

Besides, how much had Kukudar consumed to ascend to the Authority Level?

Over the past five hundred-odd years,

the entire Star Empire, under the direction of Lince, the Dragon God, had delivered an unknown number of Death Stars and other fine things.

The mass of these objects thrown into the ’Black Hole’ alone exceeded the matter of at least one-third of a World Community.

This had practically cleared out all the matter in one direction of a certain World Community occupied by the Black Prison Race.

Therefore, they felt it was only natural that Kukudar would be so terrifying after devouring such vast resources to achieve the Authority Level.

If they had been fed so many resources when they were ascending to the Authority Level,

at the very least, they might have been able to trade up for a more powerful Law Authority.

But they might not have been able to handle such a blessing anyway.

After all, their Laws had nothing to do with the Dark Law, so they wouldn’t have been able to digest such a massive amount of matter.

"Hm... Huh?"

"Brother, are you planning to go into ’Meditation’ for growth again?"

Kukudar asked, taken aback for a moment.

"Yes and no."

"However, I do need to spend some time dealing with certain matters."

"Alright, we can talk about this later. Don’t just stand here talking to me."

"Go on. Go catch up with your seven ’teachers.’ They’re all waiting for you."

Lince smiled faintly, then glanced meaningfully at the seven second-tier Authority Users behind him, including ’Brother Cheng Takes Off’.

Seeing this, Kukudar had a moment of realization.

He immediately nodded.

"Oh, oh, of course, Brother."

"..."

———————

Kukudar’s ascension was undoubtedly another enhancement to the foundation of the entire Star Empire.

But in the end, everyone chose to keep it a secret.

Besides the Deities, it was impossible for the mortals of the world, or even other races, to know about this.

Ultimately, it was all hidden away to serve as a trump card.

Furthermore, the Star Empire’s power was already immense.

It had even begun to cause many powerful civilizations surrounding the World Communities under their control to show signs of forming alliances.

The emergence of this situation was inevitable.

Just as when the Black Prison Race and the Titan Race became powerful to a certain degree, the chances of encountering other powerful civilizations, or even Ancient God civilizations of the same Authority Level, became much higher.

Therefore, it would be best for the Star Empire to be more conservative in its future conquests.

They couldn’t afford to be the tall tree that catches the wind.

Thanks to the exploration function of the Cosmic Game,

the Star Empire had no need to keep grazing on the grass near its own nest.

They could cross different Star Sea dimensions to reach other, non-adjacent World Communities.

They could develop slowly, eventually growing into a terrifyingly vast civilization. Only then would it perhaps be a good time to devour the surrounding powers, which were vaguely beginning to unite, in one fell swoop.

As for Lince?

He really couldn’t muster any desire to conquer other Authority Level Deities.

Authority Level Deities were all like burrs.

Not only were they impossible to kill, but even sealing them required considerable effort.

If he had to personally intervene every time the Star Empire’s expansion ran into an Authority Level being, then he could forget about doing his own things, let alone enjoying any peace and quiet.

So, even with Kukudar as a new trump card, and even with the Feathered Insect God, the Frost Giant, and ’Brother Cheng Takes Off’ making a total of four Authority Level beings,

they were, in the end, far from invincible.

The Cosmic Star Sea was vast; there was no telling if they might encounter an existence as strong as the Titan Race or the Black Prison Race in the very next World Community.

To be honest, the basic policy Lince had set for the Star Empire’s expansion was this:

As long as they didn’t encounter any Authority Level beings, they could expand as they pleased.

But if they did—especially an Authority Level Ancient God—they were to treat them with a measure of courtesy.
