Chapter 459: All Business in Mind

"You… what do you mean by this?"

At this moment, Ma Huainan's voice actually began to stutter slightly.

If he lost the support of the people in front of him…

Then, given the terrifying strength the opponent was currently displaying,

having his Divine Kingdom Core seized would just be a matter of time.

By then, he wouldn't even have a last chance to turn things around.

"Young Master Ma."

Weng Chonghe sighed.

"It's not that we aren't willing to help you."

"It's just that wanting to block an army of this scale would mean losses that are simply too huge for the five of us brothers."

"The subsidies given to us by the Federal Government are simply not enough to cover the consumption."

Speaking of this, a hint of a smile appeared on Weng Chonghe's face.

"I've heard that Peerless Prodigy-level Geniuses always receive extra military merit subsidies for their first ten years on the Frontline."

"You see…"

His voice was meaningful.

Although he wore a smile on his face, hidden beneath that smile was a trace of an unspeakable implication.

Ma Huainan's expression stiffened.

He was no fool, so he naturally understood the meaning behind the other party's words.

"How… how much do you want?"

"Twenty million military merits."

Weng Chonghe stated directly.

"Very well."

Ma Huainan had almost no hesitation.

At this moment, he was truly scared.

Compared to his Divine Kingdom being destroyed, what did a mere twenty million military merits amount to?

As long as he could survive, there would be opportunities for everything in the future.

"Wait."

Weng Chonghe suddenly added.

"Twenty million military merits for each of us five brothers will do."

Hearing these words, Ma Huainan's skin couldn't help but twitch slightly.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Fine."

"What kind of bullshit Federal Government personnel."

"What kind of bullshit serving the people of the Federation?"

On the surface, Ma Huainan showed no change, but deep down he was already cursing up a storm.

"Full of principles on the lips."

"All business in mind."

Once upon a time, he was one of the dazzling Geniuses of the Primordial Academy.

Countless people took the initiative to curry favor with him, major corporations competed to invest in him, and later on, he even became husband and wife with Sima Yurao.

Along his journey, what he saw was almost entirely goodwill and flattery.

Therefore, he had always thought…

that his status and his talent represented everything.

But until now, when he fell from the Peak to the bottom of the valley,

and when his Divine Kingdom faced destruction, he truly saw this world clearly.

It turned out that many people's approach was not out of appreciation, but rather because they valued his worth.

Investing in him was for profit.

Following him was for profit.

Even marriage was likewise an exchange of interests.

Now, these so-called reinforcements stepping in were similarly because of profit.

Only after truly experiencing despair would a person see clearly those things once obscured by halos.

And only after falling would one understand that this world never revolves around any single person.

"Hahahaha!"

Weng Chonghe suddenly burst out laughing.

"Everyone, Young Master Ma is the future Peerless Prodigy of our Human Race."

"Now that he hasn't grown up yet, how could we possibly watch such a Genius fall before our eyes?"

"Furthermore, the opponent is illegally invading a fellow clansman's Divine Kingdom."

"Today, no matter what, we must expel them!"

Finished speaking, Weng Chonghe waved his large hand.

"Form formations to meet the enemy!"

"Drive the enemy out of the Divine Kingdom!"

"Yes!"

The army behind him responded in unison, and that fierce-looking deity from earlier also wore a smile at this moment.

"Rest assured, Young Master Ma, with the five of us brothers here,"

"your safety will definitely not be a problem."

Twenty million military merits was no small sum.

It was enough to buy quite a few precious resources, and even exchange for a few s-class war structures.

This support mission was simply a massive profit.

As for whether Ma Huainan would break the contract later, they weren't worried at all.

Although Ma Huainan possessed SS-class Divine Kingdom talent and had huge future potential,

he was, after all, someone who had only recently broken through to become a deity.

Now that the five of them knew the coordinates of his Divine Kingdom, if Ma Huainan really dared to renege on the debt, they naturally had ways to make the other party pay the price.

Directly invading the Divine Kingdom carried too much risk.

But finding ways to restrict the development of a deity had many methods.

By then, what Ma Huainan would lose wouldn't simply be one hundred million military merits.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

As Weng Chonghe's army began to advance forward,

on the other side, a large number of high-tier zombie believers also walked out from the ten thousand corpse military tombs.

Stepping onto the battlefield, cold Mechanical armor covered their entire bodies.

The next moment, countless Intelligent Weapons activated simultaneously.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Energy cannons filled the sky, instantly tearing through the heavens and bombarding toward the Human Race army.

"Fourth Brother!"

"Fifth Brother!"

Weng Chonghe's expression changed.

"Immediately deploy the defensive grand array! Block these attacks!"

"Yes!"

The two Martial Arts deities acted immediately, and blood-colored barriers rapidly rose to fend off the artillery fire filling the sky.

However, looking at the dense Intelligent Weapons in the distance,

Weng Chonghe's expression grew increasingly grave.

"Fifty to sixty billion sets of Intelligent Weapons?"

"And they are all at least tier-three Intelligent Weapons?"

A trace of shock flashed through his eyes.

"This is impossible."

Such a scale of Intelligent Weapons would require huge resources and time to forge, even for a Mechanical deity.

Furthermore, the opponent was a deity taking the Corpse Cultivator path.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Weng Chonghe's mind.

"Could it be… standing behind this person is also a Mechanical deity?"

The manufacturing cost of a set of tier-three Intelligent Weapons was extremely expensive in itself.

If sold in the Federal Mall, the price might even double or triple based on the cost.

Yet the Corpse Cultivator deity before him now actually possessed tens of billions of sets of Intelligent Weapons.

This simply couldn't be explained by simply being wealthy.

Weng Chonghe quickly made a judgment: the opponent absolutely could not have purchased all of them through normal channels.

The greatest possibility was that behind this Corpse Cultivator deity was a Mechanical deity friend.

Their relationship was extremely deep, willing to even hand over such a massive Intelligent Weapon legion to the other party via a rental method.

Just as Weng Chonghe was thinking, the sky of the entire Divine Kingdom was completely covered by countless energy beams.

Dense energy cannons tore across the horizon like a rainstorm, bombarding toward the location of the Human Race army.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The instant the energy cannons landed on the defensive grand array, terrifying explosions sounded one after another.

Under such dense attacks, the originally rock-solid Qi-blood barrier actually began to vibrate violently.

Under normal circumstances, after the grand array endured attacks, the Martial Arts believers could continuously mobilize their own Qi power to repair it.

But this time was different; the number of energy cannons was simply too vast.

Before one round of attacks had even ended, the next round of artillery fire followed closely behind.

The moment the previous attack was just negated, a new energy cannon had already struck the exact same spot, giving the grand array no chance to recover at all.

"Boom!"

Finally, an energy cannon pierced through a breach in the defense and landed directly inside the Human Race army.

A violent explosion sounded, and tens of thousands of believers instantly turned into blood mist.
