Wizard: Grinding to Lord of Truth

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Expedition Is Plunder

"Right now, we need to confirm one thing. Is this happening in just this one Multi-Brain Realm, or in all of them?"

"If it’s just one or a few, then it’s simple. We’ll just slow down their development."

"But if it’s all of them, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

As Andre spoke, a red light flashed in his eyes.

"What do you plan to do?" Piedra asked Andre, feeling a shiver of dread.

"Have you heard of the Idiot Potion?"

As he spoke, Andre took out a pale blue Potion from his Storage Ring.

"You intend to use a Potion to destroy the intelligence of the Multi-Brain Race?"

Sander instantly understood Andre’s plan.

"The Multi-Brain Race is the fastest developing branch of the Multi-Body Race because they have multiple brains."

"With several brains working in unison, their development is naturally faster than the other branches."

"But if they drink the Idiot Potion, their development will slow down."

Andre nodded. With that, he had laid out his idea.

"Do we have to be so cruel?" Jessica asked Andre, a flicker of compassion in her eyes.

"We’re here on an expedition, and the goal of an expedition is to seize all of an Otherworld’s resources."

"Right now, these guys have started using the world’s resources to develop their race, and that’s something we cannot allow."

"Every resource they consume is one less resource for us to obtain. If we let them continue like this, there’ll be no point in even starting the expedition."

Andre’s words made Jessica shiver. ’She never imagined Andre thought this way.’

"This is the nature of an expedition. All wars are fought for one thing: gain."

Rote looked at the frightened Jessica and patted her on the back.

"Originally, I planned to enslave the Multi-Brain Race and bring them back to the academy."

"After all, such an intelligent race would be excellent as assistants or as slaves."

"But now, they already have the beginnings of a civilization. This is bad news."

"A highly developed civilization will never submit to another."

"Even if the other civilization is more advanced than their own, a conquered civilization will still try every means to resist."

"And at times like these, a conquered civilization will often give rise to so-called Children of the World, children of the plane, or ’favored ones.’"

"Every time such a figure appears, they bring extremely severe losses to the conquerors and could even cause a complete reversal of their situations."

"The conquered become the conquerors, turning the civilization that originally subjugated them into their slaves."

"From the looks of it now, these figures are bound to appear among the Multi-Brain Race. Because the Multi-Brain Race is the most intelligent existence in this entire Otherworld, we must slow their development."

"To buy time for the Expeditionary Corps that will follow!"

At Andre’s words, Sander and Piedra nodded.

’Expedition’ was just a euphemism. In the end, it was all about plundering resources.

And resources are finite in any world. If you take more, someone else gets less.

In that case, the only way to monopolize all the resources of a world was to eliminate the competition.

As an Expeditionary Corps of the Wizard Civilization, they naturally had to side with the Wizard Civilization. It had nothing to do with them personally; it was simply a matter of the position they were in.

"Now, let’s split up and investigate all the realms of the Multi-Brain Race. Then we’ll communicate and decide which method to use."

As he spoke, Andre put away the Idiot Potion, boarded the Morning Sky, and left the Expedition Base to begin his reconnaissance.

"Let’s go!" Rote pulled Jessica to her feet. They boarded their respective Star Realm Battleships and began to follow in Andre’s footsteps, scouting the situation among the Multi-Brain Race.

After the three of them left, Sander, Piedra, and Karina also boarded their own battleships and headed off in different directions.

This time, they had to gain a complete grasp of the Multi-Brain Race’s development.

「Two months later.」

The six Star Realm Battleships returned to the Expedition Base in succession. After returning, the six of them gathered to discuss the matter once again.

"On the three continents I was responsible for, only two realms were in this situation."

Andre reported his findings.

"I only found one!" Rote said with a sigh. Jessica shook her head.

"I found three in my area!" Piedra said then.

Sander shook his head. Lastly, Karina also shook her head.

"So, in total, six realms have begun rapid development. There are only seventeen Multi-Brain Realms in total. Six out of seventeen is over a third—that number is already extremely high."

Andre’s expression was incredibly grim.

"Also, there’s something else we need to pay attention to."

"These rapidly developing Multi-Brain Race have started dispatching envoys to other Multi-Brain groups to teach them."

"Once they succeed, the civilization of this entire world will undergo a world-shaking transformation. For us, that is terrible news."

At that moment, Piedra delivered another piece of extremely bad news.

"It seems our arrival has awakened the world’s consciousness."

"Although our own Realms aren’t high enough to fully awaken it, the Power contained within the Star Realm Battleships was still enough for the world’s consciousness to start moving against us."

Andre’s eyes darted around for a moment before he voiced a guess.

"So, should we make our move?" Rote asked, looking at Andre.

"Of course. The world’s consciousness has started to move against us; we can’t let its plans come to fruition."

"Therefore, we must slow the development of the Multi-Brain Race."

Andre nodded and then said,

"But at the same time, we must also be careful about the quantity of the Potion we use."

"Our goal is to slow their development in the short term."

"We need to buy time for the arrival of the Second and Third Expeditionary Corps, allowing us to take this world."

As he spoke, Andre took out eighteen boxes of the Idiot Potion.

"These eighteen boxes of Idiot Potion should be about enough. Any more and the sudden change would be noticed by the Multi-Brain Race."

"Now, let’s split up and deploy these Potions in the realms of the Multi-Brain Race."

Andre handed the eighteen boxes of Potions to Piedra, Sander, and Rote.

There were exactly six of them, and now, there were exactly six developing Multi-Brain Realms.

It was a perfect match. The six of them would each be responsible for one realm. Immediately, the six of them boarded their Star Realm Battleships once more, heading for the Multi-Brain Realms to use the Power of the Potions to delay their development.
