Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 823 Civil War?

Kraft Viton was a valuable asset. He provided Eren with the intel to pinpoint the hubs where most traitors gathered. It didn't even take ten minutes before Eren was up-to-date and ready to leave.

"Why are you helping? You're putting yourself in danger. The SHA will eliminate you when they discover this," Eren said, but the old man could only shrug.

"I have been dealing with other races for a long time and cannot abandon my principles. The Supreme Human Alliance would kill me whether I help you or not. Helping you out won't worsen my situation. However, it might improve things for me and the Tritan Alliance's future."

Eren agreed silently before he made his move. It was time to destroy some places, obliterate a few families, and get rid of some pushovers.

He traveled to the SHA hub hidden in the Saphirelake Military Academy, where he encountered a few Higher Lifeforms guarding the entrance. Eren's extensive leathery wings unfolded before the guards, who responded by charging at him. Their bloodlust was more than enough reason to kill the guards right away.

Eren's claws slit through their throats with a rapid, incredibly precise action. The Higher Lifeforms didn't even see Eren move. He was too fast. All they felt was a sting in their throat and something warm and runny trickling down their chest. The instance they looked to the ground, the Higher Lifeforms collapsed, dyeing the floor crimson. A pool of blood congregated around them.

Eren levitated lightly in the air. He leaped across the corpses and entered the Supreme Human Alliance's hub in the Saphirelake Military Academy. This was unnecessary, but Eren didn't kill the people in the hub immediately. He checked them out first to see if there was someone of interest or someone with enough strength to compete with him. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

"Olivia Blaze traveled back to Elyra, or whatever that tiny planet in your solar system is called, right?" Eren asked, not expecting anyone to answer.

Unsurprisingly, none of the humans in the hub answered. Instead, they attacked Eren, who shrugged lightly as he conjured dozens of silver droplets around his body. The droplets shot in all directions, piercing through the hearts, throats, and skulls of the men and women charging at him.

The targets slumped dead to the ground, leaving only a few humans alive. They trembled violently, their eyes widened in terror as they witnessed the death of dozens of Higher Lifeforms. It wasn't like the Higher Lifeforms could do something, either. They didn't even perceive Eren conjuring the silver droplets when they dropped dead to the ground.

[Are you having fun playing with Higher Lifeforms?] Sylver asked, but Eren ignored his Curse. The Silver Dragon knew toying around with weak-ass Higher Lifeforms wasn't fun. Their perception was too slow to respond to his attacks in the first place. Even Tier-6 powerhouses would have difficulties keeping up with the speed, perception, and control of a Divine Lifeform.

A Divine Lifeform could easily attack dozens of times before an ordinary Higher Lifeform at the sixth Tier would notice that something happened. Of course, that depended on the kind of attack and various other factors, but in various cases, the Divine Lifeform should be able to kill a Tier-6 Higher Lifeform several times before they could respond.

"Olivia Blaze traveled back to Elyra, right?" Eren repeated himself, his eyes transforming into silver-slitted pupils, narrow vertical slivers that portrayed Eren's predatory instincts in great detail.

"Y-y-e-ess…They left a while ago…"

Eren tilted his head, "They?"

"Professor Zenovia and Professor Zeus went with them."

'Michael's girlfriend, I remember her.'

"Thank you," Eren said before releasing a barrage of silver droplets to kill the remaining humans in the hub.

He released his energy in all directions, engulfing the entire hub in a flood of silver lights. Upon perceiving everything in the hub, Eren made sure to store everything that could come in handy in his War Rune storage. A moment later, he transformed the silver energy into blazing flames to burn everything to ashes.

It took mere seconds to burn everything to a cinder. Eren morphed the silver flames back into energy with a minuscule loss in the conversion and retracted the energy.

"Should I check on the kids?"

[Kids?]

"Michael's friends."

[Why would you check on them? Just finish what you came here for and return once you're done. Staying in this energy- scarce galaxy is disgraceful!]

"Whatever," Eren murmured, taking a deep breath. He stretched his power thin and unleashed a significant amount in all directions. The Saphirelake Military Academy and dozens of kilometers around it were coated in silver for a few seconds. Eren used the few seconds to search for Michael's companions and everyone who seemed to have been in touch with curse power.

Far more Awakened at the Peak of Tier-3 had been in contact with curse power than expected, but it was obvious that the minuscule amount attached to them wouldn't affect the Awakened in any way. However, there were also a few Awakened, probably Michael's friends, who were much more attuned to curse power than the rest. Eren felt like he should inspect on their situation because it was anything but good to be exposed to this much curse power while not even being a Higher Lifeform, but he didn't have enough time.

He attached a sliver of energy to the Awakened and imprinted their appearances into his mind to tell Michael about them later. If they were members of his territory, it would be fine. The curse power's effect would be transferred to the owner of the Curses in the Origin Expanse. However, if that was not the case…Michael may have to do something.

[Leave. What are you idling around? You might be an old, rusty wreck, but you shouldn't be like this. You're Divine Lifeform. Age is just a number for you, ain't it?!]

Eren ignored Slyver like usual and left the Saphirelake Military Academy. There wasn't much more for him to do here. It was time to move to the solar system, a place colonized by humans only. Most SHA hubs were located in the solar system, and Eren made it a mission to destroy as many as possible.

He left the orb and returned to space, where he put on the space-traveling gear once again. When the space around him began rippling, Eren morphed into a argent flash. He left the Lumina Stellar System and arrived in the solar system near Elyra.

Eren visited Elyra first.

Since he had been given several information sheets from Kraft Viton, Eren knew what he had to expect. However, the situation was even worse than described. Elyra was more chaotic than announced.

It was utter chaos, to put it in simple terms. Death and destruction ruled everything.

"Did a civil conflict break out already? That is…unexpected…"

Eren levitated high in the air, ready to move to the closest SHA hub, but it didn't take long before a bunch of powerhouses attacked him. They must have perceived him.

[They're using the Primordial Bloodline Technique.] Slyver warned Eren, who nodded slowly.

"The Patriarch of the Blaze household is among them," Eren murmured, stretching his neck until it cracked quietly.

"This will be interesting."

[Have fun.]
