Chapter 2062 Gains and New Deals to be Made!
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed!
During this time, the world's problems with the part of the population that didn't want to fight the outside enemy increased, with more attacks and more people joining the cause of those who wanted to surrender to the aliens.
World leaders had tried to convince their populations that the external enemy was not coming to this world to talk or to replace the world's experts. They were coming to take over their world, kill everyone in their path, and only keep what they were interested in: the world's resources.
For the members of the Mechanic Empire, all that mattered in this world was how it could be used to their advantage with the economic exploitation of these lands.
They already knew everything there was to know about the Spiritual World because the group of space explorers had spent centuries there, studying what it was like, the civilizations, technologies, forms of power, language, and history of the world.
The aliens just didn't know about the world's greatest secrets. Still, even the ordinary population of the Spiritual World didn't know about them... In other words, this population wasn't necessary and would only cause headaches for the invaders.
But even with many arguments and proofs that the enemies won't come to the world to talk, the world leaders still couldn't convince everyone. Most of the world's population was on their side for the time being, but the number of rebels was becoming alarming.
Only in some of the more radical states of the Central Continent had things not gotten so bad during this period due to the extreme actions that had isolated these places from the rest of the world.
These were the cases of Blackrock, Albano, Rosser, and the Flowers Kingdom, which had begun expelling the families of people associated with the rebels from their states and killing people who publicly expressed their rebellious thoughts.
Unlike the Black Plain Empire, these places didn't have much to offer the world. As a result, they had all come under heavy criticism from the world's powers and had lost many of their old allies.
However, this was not the case for the Black Plain Empire. Not only had the Minos' empire begun to do even more business with these states, but it had not lost a single deal as a result of its actions.
It must be said that during this period, two more massacres, like the one years ago, were carried out by Minos. Therefore, the incidents in this state remained under control.
Apart from these more radical states, only the states where there were Gods were not so chaotic at the moment.
Otherwise, the Spiritual World was getting colder and colder and had problems everywhere.
Meanwhile, some of the forces in this world were making fantastic progress with alien technologies!
...
Minos and his wives had been getting stronger and stronger over the past few years, but none of them had made any breakthroughs during that time.
Minos was currently near the peak of level 89, but he was at the end of his stage, which meant that it would now take him longer to level up than his wives.
He didn't expect to reach level 90 for at least 3 years, so he didn't waste any time thinking about reaching the 10th stage or improving the quality of his physique.
But his wives were in different situations, and they all intended to level up in the next 12 months, with some of them close to finally becoming high-level Sages.
The rest of the family was also becoming stronger, with the children rapidly approaching the 5th stage and becoming more mature.
Lily, Rowan, and Hollie were still teenagers. Still, they would soon come of age and begin to take on more responsibility.
However, they were far from dealing with the important issues of state that Sarah, currently at level 77, had already dealt with.
Surprisingly, however, someone who no one expected to be relevant at this time did. Kendrick, who had recently reached level 71, had joined the enemy technology development group in the previous months after demonstrating great skill with the alien armor.
Kendrick had an innate ability similar to his father's, energy boost. As he grew stronger, he displayed powers more similar to those of Minos.
Because of this, and the cultivation with the chaotic energy of the giant skeletons he did with his father's help, this young man was already one of the most compatible with the alien armor in this state.
He couldn't use the armor Sages wore because it required him to strengthen himself. But Kendrick had been working closely with the army professionals, serving as one of the official testers of the alternative armor models the army had developed over the years.
For the time being, his work was still minor. Still, the entire government and the upper echelons of the army already had high expectations for him.
Meanwhile, Minos' group's progress with the alien technologies they had been studying had been very good over the years. Although they had slowed down so as not to benefit the elves too much, they had improved their previous knowledge by more than 30%.
All of the army's armor, ships, and spaceships were now based on alien technology, while more advanced versions were being developed in secret in Dry City.
But the partnership with the elves had also helped the empire!
Through the information shared by the elves, Minos' group learned many useful things in developing new techniques, strengthening their soldiers, and manipulating resources from the world.
As Minos had expected, the elves' view of the enemy's technologies differed greatly from his and his people's. Upon receiving the elves' insights, he and his group soon realized the methods the elves understood were more compatible with the new methods of empowering cultivators and managing resources more efficiently.
As a result, new techniques and ways of absorbing and even harvesting resources were used throughout the empire. At the same time, Minos and his government sought out various powers in the Spiritual World to do business similar to that one.
Since Aurae had forced him to hand over his advancements, why shouldn't he hand over the same things to other powers in exchange for new ways of looking at alien methods?
Minos had spotted this opportunity after realizing the usefulness of the deal with the elves and was currently in Dry City receiving envoys from the Continent of Beasts to discuss the matter!
