Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1789 - 1003: Return to the Sky Wolf System! (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Typically, Red-tailed maintained just a superficial edge.
Logistics and the information hub adhered to Red-tailed's commands mainly due to respect for her role as Wolf Queen and the support from the Serpent Emperor.
Maybe on Earth, Red-tailed truly qualified as a supreme prodigy!
Yet across the immense starry expanse, her abilities ranked at most as mediocre or just scraping into elite status among cosmic prodigies.
Despite access to premium elite resources and the immense fortune from her Wolf Queen position, Red-tailed had merely advanced to the pinnacle of Heavenly Venerate after all this duration.
One could argue that Red-tailed lacks the standing to operate independently anymore; she's dropped from the premier fighting tier in the Wolf Pack Civilization.
Such a situation has turned commonplace!
Su Lin experienced no deep sorrow or letdown,
since Cousin, Wolf Father and Wolf Mother, Wolf Sister, along with Xiao Hui and the Grey White Little Wolf, had already paved the way.
These core companions and nearest relatives who initially joined him in forming the wolf pack's early framework now step back from the central arena of the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Certain aspects evolve with the passage of time!
Yet that's the truth of it!
Su Lin offered them plentiful chances and abundant elite resources, though some matters can't be compelled.
Furthermore, this cosmic realm stretches endlessly, brimming with endless prodigies and oddities,
thus occasionally when these old guards and family members shift to secondary roles, it might not spell misfortune.
For one, prior to any breach of the Wolf Pack Civilization's central base, they remain shielded from danger.
If not, should his Wolf Father, Wolf Mother, Wolf Sister, Cousin, Xiao Hui, or Red-tailed actually perish in external conflicts, Su Lin might plunge into a brief frenzy and spiral out of control based on his present mental condition.
In essence, connections forged in vulnerability and deep-rooted family ties strike deepest at the soul.
Consider "Nightmare," who remained brutally merciless yet voiced a last desire to seek forgiveness from his maternal clan, right?
"Wolf Lord, the supplies delivered from key planets and stockpiled on Earth suffice to fuel the Wolf Pack Civilization's diverse armed units for centuries of conflict. The blood sustenance, condensed into blood stones, totals exceeding 53 trillion blood stones. Ancestor-grade exotic flora fruits surpass 7 trillion, realm fruit specimens exceed 6 trillion, Heavenly Venerate tier counts merely tens of millions, and beyond the Nine Heavens exist solely the Heavenly Leisure Lotus and the Cedar King!"
Red-tailed began by detailing the assets in the current logistics stockpile.
Since assets form the bedrock of every faction; possessing them unlocks endless possibilities.
Lacking assets, their extensive armed forces amount to mere figures, struggling even to rally into action.
Ultimately, without satisfying basic needs or supplying enough to uphold the Heavenly Boundary Mark, the Wolf Lord's influence alone could spur them briefly at best.
"Beyond assets, what's the advancement in headquarters weaponry and armaments, plus how many uniform armors and stellar energy arms have the development team crafted?"
Su Lin pressed on with questions.
A subdued frost emanated from his presence,
causing the assembled hundreds of War Kings to adopt grave demeanors, despite their ignorance of recent events.
"To the Wolf Lord, Lev's absence from the development sector lately has slightly hampered progress, though manufacturing hasn't lagged. Uniform armors follow set designs for bulk creation. So far, more than 870 billion units stand ready, chiefly allocated to the Star Battle God Army,
Past acquisitions like star energy cannons, star energy rays, and various lethal devices have undergone partial upgrades by the development team and mounted on the Southern Territory Mountains and Earth's barriers, with leftovers directed to the Star Battle God Army. Regarding replicated star energy cannons, auxiliary mecha, and unique nuclear origin explosive bolts, plus atomic-scale toxic hazes, their experimental yields proved lackluster, so most went to Direct Lineage One and Two."
Su Lin absorbed Red-tailed's briefing and gave a nod, glancing toward the remaining War Kings: "Good, then proceed, step up and detail the forces your individual units command at present!"
Having departed for six or seven millennia, Su Lin gleaned from Qing Ming's words that the Charm Fox and Phantom Army dispatched earlier might have faced disasters,
yet as a faction's head, he required full grasp of every armed asset at his disposal prior to any maneuvers.
At present, the Wolf Pack Civilization ranks as a stellar Nebula powerhouse, overseeing innumerable trillions of clans and races, with martial might nearing a trillion trillion scale.
It's akin to tugging one strand that shifts the entire form,
given billions of dependents relying on him and the Wolf Pack Civilization's safeguard.
Su Lin won't, driven by fleeting rage or fury, jeopardize their security and existence.
Additionally, upon his return these past days, Su Lin skipped assessing the Wolf Pack Civilization's overall might, instead tasking the Sand Fox to compile and collect every scrap of data on the Sea of Star Sand and the Phantom Army's latest actions through the night.
Yet the Sand Fox's overnight compilation halted sharply centuries back.
The Sand Fox only knew that in that era, the Charm Fox and Phantom Army had seized a cosmic passage over ten light-years in length.
This cosmic passage ran from the Sky Wolf System straight to the Heavenly Horse Stellar System.
En route, multiple minor stars, a dispersed star, and even the Heavenly Horse Stellar System fell under control by the Charm Fox and Phantom Army.
Frankly, for the Charm Fox to swiftly claim such an enormous domain,
especially by diving in as a Heavenly Horse, scheming across millennia, then sparking turmoil to ascend via cunning tactics, Su Lin had foreseen this outcome.
However, with zero updates for centuries and factoring in Qing Ming's lingering spirit, Su Lin sensed the barely veiled scheme and taunt from the Sea of Star Sand.
They seek not just to incite, but to engage the Wolf Pack Civilization head-on, settling supremacy over this twenty-plus light-year cosmic domain!
A fresh colossal entity inevitably confronts myriad trials before solidifying its stance.
Should the Wolf Pack Civilization yield or falter here, their forthcoming expansions into the Star Nebula for grand designs and rule would suffer the harshest setback imaginable.
.....
Meanwhile, Tiffany in the Human Fortress served the elites as little more than a handy instrument. Against her many helpless counterparts, she ranked as disposable frontline fodder the leaders could jettison freely. After enduring so long in the Arctic alongside Sander without any aid from the Human Fortress, Tiffany's spirit had turned icy. Witnessing how pledging to the Wolf Clan yielded fresh Variant Species meat, Tiffany and Sander chose decisively in near unison.
Su Lin studied the pair's faces, detecting their sincere feelings that matched his goals. He could largely infer that amid the Ice Age, human order had splintered badly. Even a minor boon could secure their eternal allegiance, a bargain Su Lin eagerly accepted. Awe gleamed in his gaze.
Which mighty race could overpower the Mad Thunder Skyhawk so dominantly and boldly haul its remains toward the Land of Adventure?
Under the stunned stares of the Predators, a White Wolf exuding superior might emerged. His velocity blurred beyond visual tracking, reduced to a fleeting pale specter gliding past, ethereal and traceless. When eyes refocused, the White Wolf perched on a far-off ridge, baying at the heavens, guiding the White Wolf Pack further into the Arctic...
This spectacle etched deeply into countless Predators' minds, an indelible memory spanning lifetimes, of that gleaming silver-white White Wolf form, forever unforgettable thereafter.
For that White Wolf stood as the mightiest energy wielder they'd witnessed across all creatures, wielding strength that deterred any approach, and surveying all with disdainful scorn, instilling terror in their cores!
