Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1507 - 640: Becoming the Northwest King!

But what's even stranger is that their eyes are both golden, yet completely unfocused, just like two robots.

"Sindo, what do you think?"

Upon hearing the bald man's question, the two men, their eyes vacant, turned to the bald man in unison.

Maybe it's because their synchronization is just too high, there's an inexplicable sense of unease about them.

And that's not all—when they spoke, even their mouth movements and gestures matched perfectly, making their voices overlap. The result was a jarring, unsettling sensation, sending chills down anyone's spine.

"I think we should probe a little."

"If I remember correctly, Qiu Tu's Cataclysm Pathway hash is 'Order-Politics.'"

"So it's quite possible he doesn't have any real trump card—he just wants to quickly unify the Northwestern Region, boosting his own power."

Upon hearing Sindo's words, the pink-haired female pirate retorted, "That doesn't make sense."

"Even if he unifies the Northwest, that wouldn't necessarily push his strength to Eighth Rank."

"And even if he somehow did reach Eighth Rank, he'd only be at the initial stage. His power simply isn't enough to stand against the other Trialists."

"So why would he bother with something so pointless?"

At this, the pink-haired pirate paused, then added, "Besides... even if he really has no trump card and is just bluffing."

"If we take him out, what good does that do us?"

"He can rule the Northwest because he's part of the human upper echelon. We're not, so after killing him, it'd be tough to smoothly assume his power."

"And without taking over the power, the whole Northwestern Region would end up a hollow shell. Not only would that not boost our overall score, but it's also likely to attract unwanted attention from other factions."

Saying this, she glanced first at the bald leader, then at the twins across from her, and continued, "Besides... as strong as all four of us are—each at Eighth Rank—only the boss is at the late Eighth Rank, the rest are barely early Eighth."

"Our average strength is decent, but compared to other forces, we're still somewhat weak."

"So, what we should do is keep a low profile and wait for our chance, instead of throwing ourselves into the spotlight."

"Only this way can we win the Heavenly God Trial, become the ultimate victor of the Heavenly God Trial!"

Before the bald man could refute the pink-haired pirate, Sindo both shook their heads in perfect sync.

Then, with those vacant eyes and a mechanical "buzzing" voice, he said, "Who says that only winning the Heavenly God Trial makes you a victor?"

The two of them turned in perfect unison to glance at the pink-haired pirate, then continued, "Our strength really isn't all that great. Trying to compete with those old monsters at Eighth Rank Peak for the Godly Positional Frame is a stretch."

"But, have you forgotten? The only reason we got a spot this time was because we happened across a newborn, lone Eighth Rank God, and we barely had to pay any price."

"So... theoretically, as long as we don't waste our quota for this trial, and seize as many benefits as possible, that's already a huge win!"

Here he paused, then fixed his gaze on the pink-haired pirate and said, "Besides... Mei La. You've got to realize, the current Edge Region hasn't been fully infiltrated by the Boundless Heart Sea yet; the Cataclysm energy density is still low."

"That means any Cataclysm creatures or materials born in this period—actually, their value isn't bad at all."

"Once the Barrier Mountains collapse and Cataclysm energy floods in, all those Cataclysm creatures and materials out there will get a big upgrade in quality."

"Even if the overall quality won't be that high in the end, at least the quantity will be massive."

"So, right now the Edge Region is pretty much littered with silver..."

Hearing Sindo's analysis, Mei La frowned slightly and couldn't help saying, "But you just said, these resources aren't particularly high quality, there's just a lot of them."

"We're not like Mist Veil Society, who've been building up within the Edge Region for years, slowly harvesting resources and then moving them to the Core Region to improve quality."

"Where would we get the time and energy to do stuff like that?"

After hearing Mei La's words, Sindo stared at her expressionlessly, replying mechanically, "We really don't have the time or means. But... Qiu Tu does."

Mei La, the pink-haired pirate, froze for a second upon hearing Sindo, then a flash of realization flickered across her bronze face. "So what you mean is... Qiu Tu's going to gather resources, and all we have to do is rob him?"

Sindo nodded faintly, then with his blank expression and unfocused eyes, said, "If he wants to ascend to Eighth Rank, he'll have to pour resources into refining the Boundless Heart Sea Region."

"And since he'll be racing against time, as the Northwest King, he'll surely leverage his power to aggressively collect and scavenge every last resource from across the Northwestern Region. Then just dump it into the process, no matter how inefficient!"

"We're talking about resources accumulated in the Northwest for decades. Even for us, that's a hell of a prize."
