Chapter 437 - Great Astley Empire: Fruitful Rewards
The Great Astley Empire has collapsed. Their leader has died in Souta's hand and he also acquired the secret weapon of the empire.
No one could oppose him now.
No one had that kind of power.
Even assassination wouldn't work because his individual strength was cut above the rest. No one could deny that Souta was the strongest person that they've known.
Once again, Souta showed his brutal side to the people by executing the generals and commanders of the empire. Several hundreds of B-rank experts have died. Only a few of them were A-rank.
This force was already enough to kill Souta. In fact, even fifty B-rank was enough to fight him. As long as they had different classes in their group that could fill up their weakness then it will not be a problem.
More than six hundred commanders and two hundred generals were a huge force that even Souta would have to avoid clashing directly. He was just a third evolution monster, not a fourth evolution monster who could easily kill hundreds of B-rank in the blink of an eye.
Well, Souta simply wanted to extract the parasite in their bodies. Collecting a number of parasites that almost reach a thousand was a huge haul. He was satisfied with his loot this time. All the other things simply didn't get in his eyes.
Money and high-grade equipment were nothing to him. His equipment was still better than those treasures that were inside the treasure vault of the royal palace.
Souta, Franklin, Torkez, Lydia, Jamine, Alice, and the leader of the organizations that helped the Liberation White Army was sitting around a long table.
They were having a meeting about what should they do now that the empire has collapsed. Is the liberation army going to establish a new nation or not? Everyone wanted to discuss it.
Souta simply looked at all the people in the room with a plain expression. He didn't want to do anything about it as he was going to leave soon. Before he goes back to the Great World Imperium, he will check the living labyrinth in Planet Eidin first.
'This is tiresome...'
He sighed inwardly as he rested his head on his palm. He looked at them and heard that Lydia and Jamine were interested in establishing a new overlord nation. A nation that could support the hundreds of planets under the rule of the empire.
He was amused. They wouldn't be here if not for him. The Great Astley Empire will discover the Great World Imperium and will try to attack it. Then, they will wake up the World Serpent and it will be the start of their destruction.
"What do you think, Souta?"
Souta raised his eyebrows as he noticed that everyone was looking at him. He didn't know what to say as he was remembering the events that happened in the game.
"About what?"
He asked without changing his expression. He wanted to finish this meeting as soon as possible. So he tried to think of a way to finish it.
Then,
"Okay, we'll establish a new country and that country will be called Astros. This country will support all the planet that was under the rule of the empire previously. It will help them stand on their own. I'll leave the establishment to all of you."
Souta said to them.
"Then, who's going to be the leader of the new country?"
Someone asked. But others knew that Souta was going to be the leader of the new country. No one was more suitable than him to be the leader of the new country.
"Hmm... You will know it soon. We will announce it after the establishment of the new country."
Souta smiled and quickly dismissed the meeting. After everyone left, he sighed in relief. He finally had a time alone.
He checked his system and looked at the notification that he received.

The reward that he got this time was extremely good. It was natural since he got an "S+" score in the chain quest completion grading. The bonus reward was too good for him. Although the skill points were only five at the very least he got himself several cards.
The cards that were implemented in version 2. He already answered this question a few months ago. The function of his system maybe was the latest version of the game.
He should start by remembering the functions that were implemented in each version.
In version 2, the cards became one of the rewards in a quest. The biggest event here was the "Demon Invasion" and the "Rise of the Mechanic Country".
In version 3, the cards became an item that could be traded to other players. The biggest event in this version was the "War of Titans and Giants", "Gluttony of the Gods", and "Power of Patience".
In version 4, the title system was implemented. The biggest event in this version was the "Age of Exploration", "The Great Labyrinth and the Subterranean World", and the "Death Plague".
Trading the cards. He couldn't use it since there's no one like him in this universe. He's the only "Player" in this whole cosmos. Then, there's the title system in version 4.
Now that he thought about it, he hasn't done anything or triggered something that could give him a title. Well, his level was too low so he couldn't acquire a title. The requirements for getting a title were hard. For example, if he cleared the Dungeon of Eternal Light alone there's a chance that he could get a title.
It depends on how many players have completed it before. But since he was the only one, he was sure that he would get a title. The only problem was that his strength was too low for him to complete the requirements to get a title.
Acquiring a title could give him a boost in his strength. It depends on the title that he acquired. Also, there's a title unique to each class and other classes wouldn't be able to acquire it.
Aside from the bonus reward, Souta was satisfied with the skill that he got from the special quest. The [Ruler of the Sub-world] was a great skill. It seems that he was will be forced to rule these sub-worlds that the Liberation Army freed.
In this case, he wouldn't be able to avoid contact with other civilizations. The sub-worlds were divided into different grades; particle, mid, and high. It was divided according to the level of the mana density.
The Eiden Planet mana density's level was 24 while the Astley Planet was only 7. The difference was huge but both of them were particle worlds. For a planet to become a mid-world, it needed to have at least level 100 mana density. And for a planet to become a high-world, it needed to have at least level 200 mana density.
In fact, the highest mana density that was recorded in Great World Imperium was a planet called Yvlin. The mana density of this high-world was level 343. This planet was under the rule of the Purple Cloud Dynasty.
It was high yet compare to the Great World Imperium, it's nothing. The Imperium's mana density was level 700 and some of the extreme places of this world have higher mana density just like Mount Olympus which has a level 812 mana density.
"It's unavoidable..."
Souta muttered as he leaned his back on his chair. He looked at the ceiling and narrowed his eyes. The start of acquiring a high-level quest will start here. His power was probably sufficient enough to clear some of it.
He could understand how much different this world was from the game. It's the reason why he had to gain his strength as soon as possible. Who knows what will happen in the future. There are a lot of events that exceeded his expectations so he should prepare himself ahead of time.
The parasite queen and the parasites will be a great help to him.
He was really glad that he took this quest and he also got a blessing from the god of hunt. It will be useful to him until he reaches the level of the monster lord.
Well, should he roll the random card?
