Subjugating Magneto significantly increased the possibility of waging war across stars. Furthermore, Magneto was not weak either. If given support, he just might become a fearsome force among the Humans.

At that point, Yu Zi Yu’s control over the Human Race would have further cemented.

In the shadows, there was the Dark Council, commanding the dark forces. In the light, there were Empress Ling Er, Saintess Aisha of Buddhism, and now Magneto in the fold.

It could be said that if they unite, Yu Zi Yu would silently control 40-50% of the Human Forces.

*Haaaaa…* Yu Zi Yu took a deep breath, feeling satisfied with the current situation.

As a matter of fact, Yu Zi Yu had no plans of gaining complete control over the Human Race. He knew that it was totally unrealistic. However, just by relying on these 40-50% of the Human forces, Yu Zi Yu could influence the entire Human Race in secret, and in return gain some suitable ‘cannon fodder.’

Yu Zi Yu knew that there would be casualties inevitably in war across stars. And he was totally unwilling to send the powerful Transcendents of Misty Mountains.

He believed that it was better to use outsiders.

And as for planting so many people among the Humans, Yu Zi Yu had his reasons. Compared to other races, numbering in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, the Human Race had a huge population numbering in billions. With such a huge population, even if only a few powerful Transcendents were born, those few would still amount to an astonishing number.

Moreover, the Human Race was an Innate Spiritual Race. Many terrifying races from the previous era awakened using the Human Race as a medium. Therefore, rather than saying he was controlling the Human Race, it was more accurate to say that Yu Zi Yu was plotting against the terrifying races of the previous era.

Of course, Yu Zi Yu was not planning on ignoring various Mutant Beasts and Sea Creatures, as well as races like Mutant Bees, Locusts, and Rats, who were known for their numbers. He was planning on cultivating competent leaders who could indirectly control these races.

With a faint smile, Yu Zi Yu pondered on plans for the future.

…

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Yu Zi Yu, his recent actions had thrown the entire Human Race into a state of panic.

America, the most technologically advanced Human Nation, suffered not only lost Skyhaven, the city built with sweat and blood, due to Yu Zi Yu’s arrival, but also lost two Great Generals.

As a matter of fact, the entire America had only a handful of Natural Disaster-Class Superhumans. And now, they lost two of them in quick succession, including the highly renowned Master of Magnetism.

…

In a meeting room in America, with tension in the air…

*Bam…* Someone suddenly slammed heavily on the desk. “Idiots! You freaking idiots! It’s been three days, three whole days! Yet, what did you come up with!?”

The person shouting was ‘Apocalypse,’ another Natural Disaster-Class Superhuman, who was filling in for the Master of Magnetism to lead America’s World of Superhumans.

According to the rumors, he was America’s secret weapon, but his temperament was extremely volatile, and only the Master of Magnetism could put him in his place.

Now, with the Master of Magnetism gone, there was no one who could restrain him.

*Hmph…* With a cold snort, Apocalypse’s gaze turned cold as he asked icily, “Tell me quickly, should we fight or not? If we fight, I will immediately lead the Army of Superhumans to advance towards Misty Mountains…”

At this, a weak voice suddenly echoed in the office, “Can we win? 18 Superhumans almost got wiped out… If we go, wouldn’t we just be heading to our deaths?”

A wry and anguished voice put the entire meeting room into silence.

Even the usually volatile Apocalypse could not help but take a long deep breath, falling silent.

However, at that moment, someone else reminded everyone “Just yesterday, White Tiger — the Third Great Beast of Misty Mountains crossed the ocean and demanded tribute from us. And warned us that if we refuse, Misty Mountains will declare war on us.”

“Tribute…!?” Apocalypse ground his teeth in fury, his eyes reddening with bloodshot fury.

[Utter humiliation, this is utter humiliation! To think that the peak forces of Humanity are being asked to pay tribute! Damn these beasts!] However, before Apocalypse could erupt in anger, the same person added further.

“Just three hours ago, the Vatican refused to pay tribute. In response, they were attacked by six Natural Disaster-Class Mutant Beasts, accompanied by the roar of a Giant Dragon. The entire Rome was destroyed and countless were killed. Among the dead was the Pope, who fell in battle, his blood staining the city walls. Furthermore, two Light-Attribute Spirit Stone Mines were uprooted and taken back to Misty Mountains…”

“Right after that incident, ASEAN and China both offered a mine to Misty Mountains. These tributes, rather than simply being offerings, are more a show of submission…”

Hearing this, the entire meeting hall sunk into a suffocating silence.

After an unknown amount of time…

*Haaaa…* A sigh escaped Apocalypse’s lips, breaking the silence. Even someone as temperamental as him was helpless. “Forget it, I don’t want to die yet. I won’t be dealing with Misty Mountains anymore. I can’t afford to provoke them, so I’ll just avoid them…”

Dropping this sentence, a slight tremor shook the space, before Apocalypse disappeared without a trace.

“Uh…” Seeing this, everyone present could only smile bitterly. Even the one in charge had fled.

However, none of them realized that this was just the beginning. Because, at the same time…

*Rooooaar, rooooaar…* Deafening and spine-chilling roars shook an entire sea.

Accompanying the roars was a figure covered in spikes, resembling a giant Serpent, 2,000-3,000 meters long, thrashing the entire sea.

Leviathan, the Sea Beast King, and also one of Yu Zi Yu’s Sentinels. At this moment, patting Leviathan’s forehead, a blonde girl gently spoke, “Big guy, don’t be agitated. We’re here to negotiate, not to fight. Let’s hope that we can resolve this through negotiation, that would be best.”

Despite her words, a trace of sadness flashed in the blonde girl’s eyes.

As the former Mermaid Queen, she naturally understood her Brothers’ fiery tempers.

[If they knew that I’m here to ask the Sea Clan to pay tribute, they would probably want to kill me, but things are out of my hands. While Master has always hidden his strength and remain low-key, Elder Sister Ling Er is anything but that. The fact that she is known to the world as Empress already speaks volume for her dominant personality. Once she assesses the complete disparity between our strength and the rest of the world, she would deploy all the Natural Disaster-Class Experts, including the nine Great Beasts, the three War Generals, as well as the Left and Right Guardians…]

[Even the top-tier Experts subjugated during the invasions of Australia and Africa, like Behemoth, Redbeak Platypus, Spirit Cat, plus the Natural Disaster-Class Superhumans of the Barbarian Clan, and fearsome Mutant Beasts like the Black Serpent and the Snow Lion that have reached Tier-4  are under Elder Sister Ling Er’s command, We are all at her disposal…]

*Haaaaaaiz.*

[Commanding such a fearsome force in secret, no wonder Elder Sister Ling Er’s dominance has become so overwhelming, suffocating not only the Human Race but also other Mutant Beast Clans.]
