The ships seemed to come from different origins, and different forces, and that made them unable to join hands together. Not to mention there was a lot of mixture out there, with many ships of both universes near each other.
Old enemies couldn't overlook their grievances and differences that easily. So during these days, the ships didn't unite together as Hye feared, but they started a huge war with each other.
Any ships from one universe targeted ships from the other one, fearing these to attack and hit them in their backs.
The situation was least to be described as chaotic! And yet Hye didn't get much data about any of that, as he was using his small ship radar.
"Shall I go back and collect my loot? Or should I press forward?" This was a puzzling question after the passage of four more days. His warriors already cleared all the ships that were attacked by them, leaving behind a grand grave of silent and empty ships.
In a moment of loss, he suddenly decided to take out one huge ship. He didn't know if the ships gathered out there would flock his way, unite their efforts to take him down or not. To be sure and safe, he decided to take one flagship of the other universe and filled it with his warriors with cultivation bases.
The shield reappeared, and he was about to sit on the captain's seat and think over this when he got something new. The radar of this ship worked on its own, doing something that could be described as an automatic start-up thing. The moment that happened, Hye saw a very interesting situation.
Before, at his small ship, the radar there showed just points flashing on a green screen. Yet this time, it was a holographic show, with a very large area of coverage, and tons of details.
The moment he saw the general map appear from that radar device, he got fixated in his spot. "Oho… What do we have here?" the moment he spotted what the radar picked, he couldn't help but evilly smirk, "They are fighting each other… That's not bad, at least this way I'll be able to gain more ships…"
He never expected that never even thought about it. Yet the enemies were fighting among each other, not caring that much about him.
As this happened, there was no danger for now for him or his forces. "Yet… I need to do it discreetly, without arousing too much heat towards me…" He sat on his seat, rubbing his chin, thinking more about this.
Currently, the ships which escaped from his reach were busy fighting each other. They weren't a danger for now, but if he interfered, and reminded them again of the grand threat he posed, they might drop their enmity for now, and work together to take him down.
He didn't want to see such a result, not at all. So instead of acting now, he started to further study the current situation, checking the radar even more.
As he started to study the current situation even further, he found out more details. The fighting ships weren't united as he feared before but were fighting in small numbers. Yet as they were close to each other, the scale of this big war looked as if they were all fighting and working together from a general view.
"... With more time passing, more small fleets will meet up and join hands with others from the same forces, or from the same universe… I can't let this happen…"
As he decided, he started to give orders to his Soulers. He took out Lucas, and let the man handle his warriors. "Form small teams, and send them in these directions…"
Hye sat in his main deck and gave a long series of orders for Lucas. The latter relayed them all to his warriors, while Hye sat there and started to examine the ongoing process of the war and his warriors.
He decided to isolate the fighting fleets into small clusters, with areas that would be vacant of any living soul within. Doing so would take much longer, and he was ready to wait.
The ships without any crew would look like dead ones. They might get hit and damaged from the battles going on everywhere, but he didn't care. This way, the risk of small fleets merging together would fade away.
Yet to have such an effect, he had to wait for five days. Even when his radar couldn't show more of his warriors, Lucas told him they were still fighting more ships.
That told him how grand the entire collection of ships here was! Not to mention he was dealing with ships in a ball-shaped zone, and he was just at one part of it.
That meant there were tons of ships he didn't manage to claim before, endless battles going on, and his warriors would take much longer to get to their destination and fulfil the task.
"Screw this… I'm going to make new Soulers and Reapers…" After a few more days, his patience ran thin. Even if he couldn't see a thing, Lucas kept him posted with the updates. And so far, there was a single update, that his forces were still attacking more ships, clearing them from any living soul there.
He underestimated the reach of this grand war, and he had to intervene fast and add more Soulers and Reapers to make up for all this.
If anything kept steadily rising up for the past twenty years then it'd be his soul points. His forces didn't fight any war for twenty years, that was true. But they kept training and killing endless monsters, and all of this added up to his soul count.
As he didn't get any use for his soul points, he simply kept stacking them. And right now, he intended to make a bold move.
"I'll use half of the point, form Soulers and Reapers," he muttered, and after a series of system messages, he approved the decision.
