Magnus was completely wasted.

Although this guy had a Train Level as high as 15, he had never entered the Wasteland. His parents could only increase his physical and mental attributes through training.

To gain them through potions or other opportunities, he had to venture into the Wasteland himself.

After all, no matter how powerful a top-tier Train Conductor was, they would never have too much of these two attributes: physical strength and mental fortitude.

Taking advantage of the night, Ye Qiyan left Magnus in the tent. He himself took Eve and headed for the battlefield outside.

From the cracks in the Void, all sorts of bizarrely-shaped Void lifeforms continued to pour out endlessly. During the day, he had secretly tried using Gluttony to devour these monsters.

The result was rather unexpected.

Gluttony could indeed eat these Void lifeforms.

However, after eating them, it couldn't transform them. It could only gather the energy after digestion.

[Reinforcement]

This energy could be used to reinforce the lifeforms Gluttony had previously devoured and could transform.

This was a pleasant surprise discovered by chance during the day.

Exactly how to operate it required some experimentation.

Therefore, he chose to leave the camp on this night, cross the City-State's protective barrier, and come to the wilderness outside the city, specifically the Novice Group area, to conduct experiments.

With Eve's speed, they quickly used capture nets to snag some Void lifeforms that had been beaten to near-death but still had a sliver of life left.

After devouring and utilizing them through Gluttony, Ye Qiyan figured out the conditions for reinforcement.

The energy digested from 10 Level 1 Void lifeforms could reinforce one Level 1 lifeform that Gluttony could transform.

The energy digested from 10 Level 2 Void lifeforms could reinforce one Level 2 lifeform once.

The level after reinforcement remained the same; it only enhanced the basic abilities and physical strength of the body.

Logically speaking, to reinforce a Level 8 lifeform that Gluttony could produce, only 10 of them would be needed.

But if he wanted to capture Level 8 Void lifeforms, he would have to go to the Advanced Group of the Hunting Military Gathering.

That place was the real battlefield in the truest sense. Even now, those high-level Train Conductors were still fighting there.

Even if he used Arrogance to enter that area undetected, as soon as he tried to capture a Level 8 Void lifeform, he would definitely be discovered.

So...

"Since I'll be discovered either way, might as well go big and finish early."

The corner of Ye Qiyan's mouth lifted in a slight curve.

He unbuttoned his collar.

The Hunt, which had been coiled around his left arm, immediately poked its head out, looked around, and let out a not-so-deafening little roar.

The next moment, The Hunt dove into the Armament Space.

As Ye Qiyan raised his palm, his five fingers curled as if grasping something.

[Module·Major Consumption Reduction]

Dark golden specks of light surged from all directions towards the high heavens.

The sound of mechanical drives resounded across the desolate plain, shaking the sky and earth!

[The Hunt·Transcend Mode]

"ROAR!!!"

An ear-splitting roar drew the gazes of many Train Conductors in this direction.

The moment they clearly saw that colossal dark golden dragon, expressions of shock, confusion, or pleasant surprise appeared on everyone's faces.

"That's... that mechanical dragon belonging to the Demon Mech-Dragon Man, Altos?!"

"So it's true! What City Lord Tengo said was true! The Emperor's Order really is here!"

"Haha! This guy's bounty is already sixty thousand Train Coins! If I could catch him!"

"Don't dream. This one is the genuine article, a top-tier Train Conductor. Report the information up the chain and let the higher-ups send someone to deal with it."

"He's coming this way! Damn it, does he want to kill us?"

"Run!"

They abandoned their prey, allowing The Hunt to break through the magical barrier of the Advanced Group zone.

Upon the Dragon Beast, Ye Qiyan stood between the dragon horns.

Mist swirled.

The sea of clouds in the night sky obscured the moonlight.

The world plunged into darkness, yet it made this dark golden Overdrive Dragon even more dazzling.

"Well then, the hunt begins."

One man, one dragon, one Mechanical Girl.

What they faced were all the Void lifeforms within this entire Advanced Group region.

Who would win?

Without a doubt~

Three minutes later.

When The Hunt departed, what remained on this plain was devastation more terrifying than the spatial cracks themselves.

The dozen or so Level 8 Void lifeforms that had existed here were swept clean, all becoming a feast for Gluttony.

People looked at everything within the Advanced Group zone. Someone was the first to exclaim with awe:

"Amazing... so strong. As expected of Lord Altos. Did he come to help us defeat the monsters?"

"Who knows what this madman from the Emperor's Order wants? Maybe he just came to kill for the sake of it, or to snatch those Void lifeforms. Hmph, people from this terrorist organization only know destruction. We just escaped quickly, otherwise he would have definitely killed us too."

Another person's tone carried a mix of jealousy and mockery, which provoked dissatisfaction from others.

"Are you an idiot?! Everyone knows Void lifeform corpses are useless, even the recycling station can't process them.

And! Other people in the Emperor's Order might be madmen, but Lord Altos definitely isn't! Do you know how many people he saved in Suoluo City?! My life was given by Lord Altos! You say one more bad word about that lord, and I'll end you!"

The two stared at each other, sparks seeming to fly where their gazes met.

"How could someone from a terrorist organization save people? He just had his own interests! Have you been brainwashed?"

"I don't care about that. I only know which lord saved my life. Brainwashed? I'll crack your skull open first to see if there's anything to wash inside!"

The two began to brawl.

As for the cause of their dispute, Mr. Altos of the Emperor's Order~ was currently using the Void energy devoured by Gluttony to reinforce a Transformer.

The total amount of energy gathered was from sixteen entities.

Using it all could reinforce a Level 8 Transformer to a state nearing the limit of that level.

Since the user could only be Level 8, there was no need to hesitate about who to use it on.

The Steam King.

A being that had once given him some trouble, considered the most powerful type of dungeon BOSS in a Level 8 Station World, though now reduced to a unit of combat power measurement.

But whenever the Gluttony Army appeared, it was always the Steam King who paved the way.

Therefore, it was the most worthy Transformer to reinforce.

The reinforcement process wasn't complicated.

After completion, although the Steam King was still Level 8, its physical strength had ascended a major step compared to before, and its combat power was much higher.

Ye Qiyan was pleased, but at the same time, he was pondering something.

Why could the Void lifeforms devoured by [Demon Card·Gluttony] be used to reinforce the Transformers?
