Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 736 Shattered

It was no surprise that Michael managed to overwhelm his enemies. The Elite Tekur couldn't do anything to oppose his tremendous power at this point.

Meanwhile, even the Supreme Soldiers couldn't muster enough strength to beat Michael as long as he went all out. The worst for the Supreme Soldiers was that they couldn't even fight Michael head-on in the last battle. They struggled but couldn't use what they were best at.

The Supreme Soldiers couldn't create enough Soul Energy to activate their Superior Class Soul Techniques or Soullife Arts. The Tekur suffered the consequences of relying on external means to become powerful. They died.

[See. Using your head is not that bad. You weren't even close to dying this time, even though you had to fight far more enemies simultaneously than before. It might not be as thrilling to use your head to get rid of your enemies before the real battle begins, but it is certainly competent to use your head. You can feel the thrill of being one step away from death if your plans don't work out. However, if they work out, you should go with the flow. Being on the verge of death all the time is not that nice. You should value your life more!]

Michael tried to ignore his brother, but he knew that Danny was right. At one point, Michael got addicted to the thrill of being in danger. Sometimes, he found himself not using all Soultraits and techniques to make sure that the battle would be thrilling enough. That happened far more often than he'd like to acknowledge. If anything, Michael would love to never think about his addiction to the thrill of gambling with his life.

It was just too nice…as long as everything went according to his plan. As long as Michael was the one who emerged victorious from the battles it would be fine. But a single mistake may take his life. Seeking the thrill might kill him.

Michael tried dispersing his brother's words by focusing on the corpses. He gathered the Tekur's bodies and began extracting SoulStar Fragments, Soultraits, Memory Orbs, and portions of their War Rune storage.

The stuff extracted from the deceased's War Runes was of little interest. The most interesting were the tomes and scrolls, but Michael decided to inspect them later. The Memory Orbs were consumed one after another as Michael organized the loot like usual. He digested the Memory Orbs quickly and learned something interesting.

"Since when are Tekur religious?" Michael wondered when he saw the memories of the Tekur praying.

It was unfortunate for the Tekur, but Michael overwhelmed them near the end of their prayer session. The Qi Crystals exploded a minute before the prayers would have ended.

[Looks like their prayers didn't work.] Danny noted dryly.

Michael ignored his brother once again. Instead of entertaining Danny, he focused on the memories and learned that the Tekur Queen had paired up with someone new. Apparently, the newly appointed king of the Tekur race was even stronger than their Queen. He possessed the power to grow stronger as the number of people who believed in and trusted him increased.

It wasn't even necessary to be connected to the Tekur King by a Link of Loyalty. He would grow stronger as the faith in him increased.

The Queen used this power to transform her partner into an Apostle of their God. She decreed that everyone had to pray to their God and that their faith and loyalty would be channeled through the Apostle to reach their God. That way, the Tekur would consider the Tekur King as their God's messenger, which would increase their faith in the Tekur King in retrospect.

The Tekur King would grow strong enough to deal with the enemies circling the Tekur race's lands.

"Praying killed a few hundred of your stronger believers. Funny, ain't it?" Michael mumbled without meaning it.

He stopped consuming more Memory Orbs and stored the SoulStar Fragments and Soultrait Symbols away. Interestingly enough, some Supreme Soldiers had two Soultraits. He managed to extract two Soultraits from two Supreme Soldiers, a first for Michael.

However, instead of focusing on the Soultrait Symbols, which Michael already had more than enough of, he paid more attention to the massive haul of SoulStar Fragments.

"1.1 million SoulStar Fragments. That's crazy," Michael murmured, his eyes glimmering in excitement.

The SoulStar Fragments were more than enough to upgrade Soul Grimoire to 7-Star. Of course, Soul Grimoire was an expensive Soultrait to upgrade, but Danny's Living Soul couldn't expand properly. Danny had complained a few times that his space was too narrow. He didn't want to make it sound like a major problem, but Michael knew that his brother wasn't feeling well. The narrow space within the Soul Grimoire could lead to major problems if left unattended.

Therefore, hundreds of thousands of SoulStar Fragments had to be used to upgrade Soul Grimoire.

That was exactly what Michael did. He began channeling SoulStar Fragments into the Soul Grimoire Soultrait Symbol. It would take a while to upgrade Soul Grimoire, but it was good that he wasn't in a rush. He had more than enough time left in the isolated dimension to be at peace and research some of the Superior Class Soul Techniques – the snippets of their techniques, to be precise.

It was only a matter of time before Michael could create a Superior Class Soul Technique for True Extraction. By then, True Extraction would transform into an even more menacing Soultrait.

Michael would be even harder to deal with, especially once both True Extraction and Sacred Constitution obtained their Superior Class Soul Technique.

Just thinking about creating Superior Soul Techniques brought a smile to Michael's face.

"The Flag War was pretty nice," Michael thought aloud.

He procured enough SoulStar Fragments to upgrade Soul Grimoire to 7-Star and would have more than 200,000 SoulStar Fragments left for other expenses. Simultaneously, he procured various Elite Class Soul Techniques, learned about Soullife Arts and had decent mastery over one, and procured enough snippets of Superior Class Soul Techniques to recreate them in a few months.

No matter how Michael looked at it, The second Flag War was a great success!

But now he could end it.

He continued channeling SoulStar Fragments into Soul Grimoire while creating several Extraction Globes.

Michael lobbed the Extraction Globes at the last Dimensional Pillar, transforming it into a mass of black rubble in a matter of seconds.

The Dimensional Pillar crumbled, and so did the isolated dimension. A tremor reverberated throughout the entire dimension, but that was something Michael had previously expected. He waited patiently until the large, purple Runic Gate appeared before him to return him to the Tritan Alliance.

Fortunately, the Runic Gate manifested after a few seconds, and Michael stepped through.

The isolated dimension behind him crumbled as he stepped out. It broke apart and disappeared, never to be entered again.

The last Interdimensional Flag War ended, and the threat of the Tekur was removed once and for all, hopefully.

Michael emerged on the other side of the Runic Gate. The massive purple gate hummed loudly, and cracks appeared on its surface. The cracks spread in all directions until the sound of breaking glass resounded through the vicinity. The gateway shattered.

Michael glanced at the gateway only for a moment. His attention was drawn to the people standing around the portal.

The powerhouses of the Tritan Alliance had previously been waiting for him…including the Matriarch of the Zenovia family.

[That is going to be fun!]
