Chapter 1767 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1767: 482 Hunger Kingdom and Sky Eagle Starship_2 Matthew suddenly asked, out of curiosity: “What if they are vegetarians?” “Take some of the more ascetic Druids or Monks, for example.” Melinda said helplessly: “I’m not sure about that…” Matthew nodded. He was just making a bit of a logical leap. Quickly, he steered the conversation back on track: “So, it seems that the Butterfly, carrying the Ether Core, didn’t crash into the purgatory in the south of Storluk.” Melinda understood immediately: “Um…that makes sense.” “If the people in Purgatory had a chance to obtain the Ether Core, they wouldn’t take the enormous risk of raiding Hume Tri-star.” “But if it’s elsewhere on Storluk, why haven’t the space undead found any trace of it after all this time?” “And…” “Why did the Devil of Hunger suddenly come here?” With the former question, Matthew did not have a clear answer— Maybe the Butterfly hid it too well? With the latter question, after taking a good look at Aline Morgan in the cage, Matthew gleaned some conjectures. “The God of Truth, carrying the Ether Core, could be considered a Strategic Level divine artefact.” “It’s entirely rational that Morgan’s Purgatory had designs on it.” “According to Melinda, Morgan’s Purgatory borders the south, so they probably observed the course of the Ether Core…” “From this perspective, all their actions seem focused on the planet itself…” Matthew squinted his eyes. He concluded that the Devil of Hunger’s disruptions at Hume Tri-star were meant to force Storluk Industries to open the Space Barrier inadvertently, pressing the planet’s local forces to support Hume Tri-star! In this coming and going, the Space Barrier would present vulnerabilities. This wasn’t just the opportunity Matthew was looking for, but it might also be factored into Aline Morgan’s calculations! If this deduction held, then Storluk Industries must have deployed significant military forces in the south to guard against Purgatory’s infiltration and invasion. Otherwise, Aline Morgan wouldn’t bother coming all the way to the outer space of Storluk to cause trouble! From this point of view, Matthew and the Devil of Hunger were essentially on the same side. However, the extreme methods employed by the latter were fundamentally at odds with Matthew’s principles. Feeling the rapid expansion of the Hunger Kingdom, Matthew realized he must make a decision quickly! Within mere seconds, Matthew followed his heart and quickly opened several domains. At that moment, He, with Lost Paradise as the core and using numerous domains he controlled, forcefully countered the influence emanating from Aline Morgan’s solidified Hunger Kingdom! This female devil wanted to devour the entire Space City in one gulp. Were she to succeed, every life within the city would become monsters that knew only the pursuit of satiation. Matthew could not accept this. Over the past few days, not only had his view of Storluk Industries’ internal governance and management level improved, but he had also changed some of his prejudices about astral world life. Even in the cruel astral world, there were quite a few friendly characters like the Mantis bartender. The community atmosphere here was quite good. Such a friendly atmosphere was almost extinct back in Aindor. Matthew couldn’t just watch as she destroyed it all! It wasn’t about allegiance. This was principle. And conviction. And with Matthew’s intervention, In an instant, the expansion of the Hunger Kingdom was effectively contained! The female devil in the cage instantly took notice. She glared toward Matthew’s box with an extremely angry look: “Who?” “Who dares to stop me?” Waves of malicious Strength crashed towards him. Protected by Lost Paradise, Matthew stood firm like a solitary island in the ocean, unshaken by the crashing waves. “Seeking Death!” Aline Morgan erupted in fury. In the next second, she uttered a string of Blasphemy. Nearly every creature in the Starry Sky Theater surged towards Matthew’s location! Melinda’s expression tightened. She grabbed Matthew’s right hand: “Tell me if you need to teleport!” Matthew calmly released her hand: “No hurry.” “These creatures are nothing…” He was just about to control these hungry slaves, When suddenly, the dome of the Starry Sky Theater was enveloped by a thick shadow! Following this, Several figures appeared on stage. They transformed from insubstantial shadows into tangible beings. Matthew and Aline Morgan immediately had their attention drawn by these newcomers, and the hungry slaves also gathered towards the stage. The first ones to appear were seven Mantis Man Secret Technique Mages! These mages, clad in noble silk robes with scrolls of Magic Scrolls tied around their waists, possessed wealth that could make even the present Matthew envious! Upon taking the stage, they released rings of golden Confinement Halos! These Halos did not discriminate between friend and foe. Instantly enveloping the entire Starry Sky Theater, most of the hungry slaves were immobilized, unable to move despite their ferocious clawing. Then, A crack appeared in the shadow above the dome. A Space Undead, adorned in magnificent metal armor, descended next to the cage on the stage’s side like a divine soldier from the heavens. At the same time, Numerous spotlights shone down from the shadow above the dome. Accompanied by the lights were beams of gray-purple magnetic field rays!
