I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 570: The Star Alliance’s True Strength

"What do you mean?"

The number of planetary systems within the Star Alliance numbered over a million.

That meant there were at least hundreds of quintillions of people they needed to protect.

Coupled with the enormous resources needed to sustain them, what could they be other than a burden?

"Haha, what if everyone you thought was weak was actually a reserve army?"

"An army? Are you kidding?"

While advancing down the extraordinary path might seem easy for them, for most people, it was nearly impossible.

No matter how hard they trained or how much time they spent, most couldn’t advance to tier 1 Void Warrior Rank, let alone anything higher.

As for using resources to propel them further, that was even more unthinkable.

Even with the Star Alliance’s wealth, it couldn’t afford such a wasteful endeavor.

"Hmph, you’re underestimating Nash."

"With just a manual and a potion, a millionth of the people under the Star Alliance have already advanced to Void Commander Rank!"

"What are you saying?"

Although he could understand each word individually, combined, they made no sense.

A millionth of hundreds of quintillions advancing to Void Commander Rank? Was that even possible?

If it were only Void Warrior, he could still wrap his head around it. But Void Commander?

That was already a force capable of turning the Solaris Domain upside down!

While a Void Warrior could barely manipulate void power, a Void Commander could use it to shatter planets.

Even if they were no match for dark beasts, their utility had undergone a complete revolution.

Like ants, numbers alone didn’t matter. But when those ants grew to the size of humans and could fly, it was a different story entirely.

"Haha, believe it or not, the Star Alliance really does have such a force." Blair muttered, watching Varra’s stunned expression.

The manual Nash had created was truly heaven-defying.

Ignoring talent and focusing only on spirit and will, anyone determined enough could advance without a bottleneck.

And that was without any resources.

As long as there was void energy in the atmosphere, they could advance all the way to Void General Rank without issue.

Paired with the potion deduced by multiple tier 4 scientists, one that could increase both the speed and potential of each individual, it was safe to say everyone in the Star Alliance had a genuine chance to advance further.

"And it’s not just the army. Our scientists too. Aside from Nash, who recently advanced to tier 4 Scientist, we also have twelve other tier 4 scientists and more importantly, a tier 5 scientist!" Lionas added.

"This—, wasn’t there only five?"

During their time in the Xenus Junction, most had already learned how Nash had recruited five tier 4 scientists.

So why were there seven more? And a tier 5 scientist? Was that even possible?

Most tier 5 scientists were already at tier 8 or 9 realm, which was well beyond the Star Alliance’s quota.

"It’s Joventus. The rising scientist of the Solaris Domain."

"No way. That big shot joined the Star Alliance? How was there no news?"

Joventus was one of the most promising scientists in the Solaris Domain, having become a tier 5 scientist at only tier 6 War Emperor Realm.

Right now, he should only be at tier 7 War Saint Realm, well within the Star Alliance’s quota.

"We didn’t know either. Perhaps Lord Azalea suppressed the news to prevent even more scientists from being poached by the Star Alliance." Blair chuckled.

Having their scientists taken one by one, yet powerless to stop it, must be the most infuriating thing imaginable.

"It seems the Star Alliance really does have what it takes..."

With the backing of a powerful force from the Xenus Alliance, a massive army, top scientists, and Nash’s seemingly bottomless wealth, he felt more convinced by the second.

"Just a month left. We’ll see what the Cosmic Competition is really made of."

"I’m looking forward to it."

---

Soon, with all the pieces assembled, time began to pass in a blaze.

With only a month left before the Cosmic Competition, every cosmic team across the Chronos Empire entered a state of frenzied preparation.

In the Star Alliance, the virtual simulation was pushed to its highest intensity, with almost every cosmic elite fighting tooth and nail.

On the dark plane, every civilian soldier fought to the edge of death, hoping for even a hint of advancement.

From logistics to civilization managers to construction teams, everyone was doing their best to prepare the Star Alliance for what was to come.

The new planetary systems that hadn’t been bound into the runic array due to a lack of time were also being transported to the core of the territory so they wouldn’t be caught in space disarray.

The tier 3 Void Commanders and tier 4 Void Venerates also seized their last chance to advance, pushing one step further.

Meanwhile, deep within Star Alliance territory. Nash, the leader and commander of the alliance, was making his final sprint.

From refining the rest of his module systems to advancing to the tier 5 Void Marshal Realm, he left nothing on the table.

Filled with quiet urgency, he squeezed every second and minute to their fullest, doing everything he could to give himself the highest chance going into the competition.

---

Soon, amidst everything, the long-awaited Cosmic Competition arrived at the doorstep of all.

"It’s time..."

Walking out of his seclusion chamber, Nash couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

At any moment now, they would be transported to the Wild Void Area.

"Do you know how we’ll be transported, Commander?" Julius asked, stepping up beside him.

"I don’t know exactly. It’s said the Chronos Emperor’s power will wrap around everything and throw us into a new territory." Nash answered, his mind elsewhere.

Even though it was a recorded fact, he still couldn’t fully believe someone possessed the power to encompass an entire cosmic empire and move it with a single thought.

"The Chronos Emperor must be incredibly powerful..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Suddenly, just as Nash was reflecting on it, a powerful force wrapped around everything in the surrounding space.

"This—"
