30 Time to go back.

After one month.

Kiel was sitting on a rock. He felt many emotions as he remembered the series of events. His new body, the relic that they have been contesting was actually an broken ancient mother-ship, the army of Nekro'ti. There were a lot of questions he wanted to ask but Emilia kept her mouth shut tight.

He muttered. "I've only scratched the surface of the truth. I guess, there's still a long way to go."

He felt the massive flow of power in his body, he felt that his strength is many times stronger than the past when he still had his old body.

"This is the new me now...."

Kiel got used to his new found body and started re-cultivating again. With his powerful body and his bloodlines had bee resolved. The strong shackles that once held his talents has been undone. In no time he was able cultivate back to 10 stage of the body refinement realm.

Emilia felt that Kiel's past cultivation techniques were a bunch of trash and has given him two cultivation techniques, namely; Cosmic Flame Scriptures and the Chaotic Blizzards Technique. They were harder to practice but with the help of Emilia, he was able to practice both to the elementary stage.

With his two powers, he was able hunt grade one demon beasts, one after another. By the day he practiced his fighting techniques and at night he cultivated.

Kiel could easily match and upper grade one demon beasts. He could go head to toe with his bare hands.

"Fighting with grade one beasts can no longer help me improve anymore. I need to find something stronger." He said

He looked inside his Harmony ring and saw the piles of bones, fangs, skins and cores of the beasts he hunted.

He said. "I'vs already hunted and dissected more than fifty beasts. This should be more than enough to last me. I should go back to Cloud Valley city."

Although they found valuable ores and corpses of stronger demon beasts near the corpse of the unknown monster. Emilia denied the thought and instead used it to expand the base and build more Nekro'ti.

"It's about time I talk to Emilia." He said,

The entrance of the base was a small cave hidden behind a waterfall, just kilometers away.

Emilia had the robots built a train connecting the entrance. This made it more efficient than walking by foot.

Kiel arrived inside the base. Seeing the giant corpses, being scanned by robots, to the towering mother-ship, Kiel never got tired of it. The base was no different from a small village, different kinds of robots roamed and had something to do. These robots had decent AI's and looked like they were alive, they had their own thoughts. Sounds of tools and metals never ceased, newer facilities and factories were built.

In the distance, freshly made Nekro'ti slowly marched out of the factory. Kiel adored this robots, they had better AI's than the rest, and were much more cool looking. He who was a mechanical fanatic back on earth, it rendered him awed every time. When ever he has nothing to do, he would stroll around or browse the database. Though most of them were too advanced, with the help of Emilia, he was able to slowly understand some of its concepts.

He went to Emilia. She was sitting in lounge drinking a cup of tea.

"Where did you get that tea?" He asked and took a sip in his own.

"I had Skully buy some for me. the base is going smoothly and there's not much to do." She said as she stretch her hands..

"You have money?" Kiel asked, his brows raising.

She squinted her eyes, laughing. she said. "Don't even think about it. It's my own money."

Kiel mused. He said. "Your money? you got them from killing those cultivators."

Emilia stuck out her tongue. she said "It was their own fault for being greedy!"

A group of Nekro'ti, numbering up to 50, lined in front of Kiel. "Master" They said with a deep voice.

"I know you want to go back, so take this group along with you." She said.

"Just this?" Kiel said, a little disappointed.

"What? you know that we have only more than a thousand of robots here. Most of them being workers and scanners. We only have five hundred fully functioning Nekro'tis and our supply of ores is getting low, I assume it would last us for three months. That is unless we find another mine. But I don't want to bet, I want assurance. You'll have to find a way to get a stable supply of ores. " She said.

Kiel frowned. This fifty Nekro'ti were more than enough, each one of them having the strength of a foundation stage Cultivator. He said. "Fine they'll do. When I get back to the city. I'll try to find more ways of getting those ores"

"We also need higher quality ores . The mother ship need stronger and more specific types of ores." She added.

"I will. By the way what the status of the space-ships." Kiel asked.

"The first batch will be done soon. consisting of three corvette class space-ships. A corvette class could hold at most 20 persons. They are the most basic parts of a galactic fleet. Though these batch aren't space worthy since the grades of ores aren't up to par. They are more than enough for now." Emilia said

Kiel nodded and said. "I see, we really do need stronger ores. Don't worry, I'll have it done." He stored the group of Nekro'ti and went on his way.

Along the way, He killed grade one demon beasts.

"No luck! So far I've only encountered middle and higher grade two demon beasts! I need to find a lower grade" He said.

A faint hiss was suddenly heard. With Kiel's had better senses due to his strong body. He looked around and saw a large python slithering in the thick branches of the trees.

"A Violet scaled python! Finally!" He said. A smile appeared and made a stance.

One and a half beast stared at each other. Kiel beckoned his hand. The python clearly provoked bared its fangs on to Kiel

Kiel dodged. Flames appeared and he brandished his palm. His palms slipped but burnt marks appeared on its scales. Everytime he punched and kicked, it would only slip.

He said. exasperated. "Why is it so slippery!"

The python hissed and Kiel heard swishing sounds, he made an attempt to step back but the tail smashed his chest, sending him flying and crashing to a tree.

He gritted his teeth. He said. "Damn, he's also much faster than me."

The python open its mouth and green liquids came splashing out. Kiel rolled to the side, and looked back, he saw the barks and leaves melting, creating smoke.

Sweat appeared on his forehead. He said "I would have melted if I was a bit slower. fighting this python is trickier than I thought. I need a different approach"

Kiel dashed. Ice and frost appearing below his feet, he slid underneath the giant body of the python.

He attacked with his icy palms, it slipped but blocks of ice appeared on its body.

"Nice!"He shouted.

The python became more aggressive, it became faster and fiercer. It lunged forward, baring its fangs. Kiel opened his palms and made a wall of ice. keeping a safe distance from the raging python.

The python slammed its body towards the ice wall, smashing it to pieces. It raged as it chased after Kiel.

Kiel used his ice powers to cope with the fast approaching python. Using the trees as cover, he weaved through as he sent out spears made from fire and ice. The python wiggled its body in pain, burnt marks and ice blocks appeared around its body.

Soon it became slow, Kiel noticed it and started engaging it on close quarters. He became relentless, landing punch after punch, kicks after kicks.

bruises also appeared in Kiel's body, after all this was still a full pledge lower grade two demon beasts, but this bruises meant nothing compared to the excitement he felt.

As the last ditch effort for survival, the python suddenly increased it speed and lunged, its body trying to coil around Kiel.

Kiel retreated and waved his two palms and a small blizzard was unleashed, slowly it turned the head of the python in to into a block of ice.

his legs gave out and he let out a breath. "Finally! This python is too hard. Its a good thing that this python was one of the weaker demon beasts or else it would have been a disaster for me."

He dusted his clothes and started dissecting the corpse. He said. "This scales could be sold but most of them are burnt. Only the gallbladder and core is a used for me."

As he was busy with his spoils, he suddenly heard hisses. He breath suddenly halted and looked behind him.

It was like the violet python he had just slain, but was bigger and its scales having a darker hue. Kiel quickly dashed away and a cloud of smoke appeared where he was a second ago.

His breathing became ragged. He said. "Its much faster and stronger. This one could be a middle grade two Violet scaled python!"

The python slithered towards the corpse, it let out a series of hisses before it looked at Kiel, making his heart skip a beat.

He made his escape and left walls of ice. Agitated he said. "Damn, why do I have to be unlucky. That must have been its parents!"

he looked back and his face became paler. The rows of ice wall he left were bulldozed by the enraged python, barely stopping it. The distance between them quickly shortened. He shouted in his heart. 'I'm sorry! I didn't know it was your child!'

He gritted his teeth and made his decision. Five Nekro'ti in hooded robes appeared, each sending out multiple shadows of spears. Blood and wounds appeared around the body of the python.

Kiel moved back and kept a distance. He let his Nekro'tian warriors do the work. He only send out five since, because of its inefficient power supply and it takes a hours before they could self charge their power supplies to full. They needed stronger ores and better facilities to make better power cores.

The five were more than enough, they had excellent team work and were battle experienced. Each battle were recorded in then sent to the database of the mother-ship to be examined and improved, then used along as they program newly made warriors, ensuring the quality of their fighting capabilities. Their battle prowess becomes more fine-tuned with each battle.

Soon the five were able to kill the pythons. They all had broken parts, it was a good thing that Emilia also gave him repair bots and spare parts for this kind of situations. He stored them to get repaired and went his way towards the corpse

He dissected the corpse. He muttered. "Emilia should teach them to be gentler next time, the corpse is all mangled up. Only the core is sellable."
