Chapter 381
Book 6 Chapter 17.2 - Returning to Stillness
The Leigna had another function, which was that after it digested its food, it could secrete a type of high energy substance, the type of food many ultra life forms favored. Even though the conversion process would consume around half the energy, this would save the ultra life form a great amount of time on eating. However, Su currently only had a basic understanding of biological weapons, still unable to unlock this function.
A column of fire raged above the plaza, Kanos and the bodyguards’ bodies began to burn. Over ten thousand people surrounded the plaza, yet it was still orderly, no one starting a commotion or disturbance. Maca City returned to Su’s hands again, but Su knew clearly that this was just a temporary situation. As long as the empire sent over more powerful individuals to drive him out, then this city would immediately return to the empire’s hands.
Su already developed an initial level of understanding towards the empire’s society and culture, understanding that the empire’s history was a record of wars between ability users. As for ordinary people without abilities, it didn’t matter who it was that came, the only difference being a different individual to pay taxes to. Only because of this was there the current peaceful and calm exchange of rule. However, this also eliminated one of Su’s problems. Su was a bit expectant towards the rebellion of Maca City’s natives, and his instincts also gave him the most effective method, which was to choose one family among every ten to execute whenever an issue arose, as well as all who resisted. This would effectively establish fear in the hearts of Maca City’s residents, preventing them from daring to rebel again, because all those who dared rebel would die. Su immediately rejected his instincts’ proposal, the reasoning because the empire’s people’s wills were tough, this type of indiscriminate killing might very well stir up a rebellion from the entire city. Was he supposed to kill everyone in the city?
"Why not? These people are equivalent to ten thousand Herkula." His instincts coldly replied. This was its true original intent. If everyone in Maca City were used as food, it would be enough to increase the Herkula population to ten thousand. They were loyal, valiant, and could adapt to all types of environments, and they even had intelligence, unconditionally obeying Su’s every order. Only this, was a perfect army.
