"Wow, one billion!"
"Oh my god!"
"Our team actually invited a World Master General with a military merit quota of one billion!"
The old man in the team who heard Ender's reply was extremely shocked, and even the Immortals 'Fortress' and 'Lightning Flash' were the same.
They really didn't expect that the person Naviya invited would be a World Master with a military merit quota of one billion.
"One billion, isn't that too exaggerated!"
"My military merit quota is only 100 million."
"Yes, the gap between World Master Generals is so huge."
The Spiritwing Clan newcomers who had just received their authority grants were also amazed, simply because their military merit quotas were several times, even ten times, lower than Ender's!
"A World Master General with a military merit quota of one billion, I didn't expect the Princess Your Highness's invited person to have such strength."
Nuwa sighed in her heart. Her status in the clan was not low, and before coming to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, she specifically looked up a lot of intelligence data, knowing what a military merit quota of one billion represented.
"Is one billion military merit points a lot? My military merit points are also 90 million," Naviya asked, puzzled.
"Princess Your Highness, one billion military merit points is already the upper limit for a World Master General," the Immortal 'Fortress' explained, "For all World Master Warriors, the lowest military merit quota is one million, and the highest is one billion."
"Among them, Normal World Master Fighters generally have 1 million to 10 million."
"Elite World Master Fighter, are between 10 million and 100 million."
"World Master General is 100 million to 1 billion..."
"The level of military merit quota represents the Virtual Universe System's assessment of that World Master's strength. The most ordinary World Master's military merit quota is 1 million, while the strongest is 1 billion military merit."
'Fortress' said solemnly, "A military merit quota of one billion. Anyone who is given such a high military merit quota means that the Virtual Universe System recognizes them as having strength not weaker than an ordinary Immortal!"
Everyone listened to their captain 'Fortress's words, and each of them looked at Ender with shock in their hearts. Most of them only felt that one billion military merit was a lot, but they didn't realize that one billion military merit represented having strength comparable to an ordinary Immortal.
"Comparable to an ordinary Immortal?!" Naviya exclaimed, "I didn't expect Atlas to have such strength, it's incredible, no wonder he's so tall."
Compared to the other members of the team, Ender appeared much calmer. It was just a military merit quota of one billion, which was nothing to him.
The team members were shocked because they didn't know that a World Master capable of rivaling an ordinary Immortal indeed had a "1 billion military merit quota."
However, a "World Master" who can kill an ordinary Immortal, or even rival and kill a Marquis-level Immortal, also has a 1 billion military merit quota.
A 1 billion military merit quota is an upper limit for World Master Warriors, not an indication that they can only rival Immortals.
Moreover, for Ender's strength, a military merit quota of one billion is easily achievable. On the contrary, the military merit quota issued by the Virtual Universe Company is truly exaggerated!
The Virtual Universe Company's requirement for him was 30 trillion military merit points!
Only by completing 30 trillion military merit points can Ender leave the Extraterritorial Battlefield. This is his "life-and-death tempering"!
For every 'Primal Secret Realm World Master', the Virtual Universe Company invests significant resources in their cultivation, so their demands are naturally extremely high.
And Ender passed through the Universe Level and World Master Rank Primal Sky Mountain, obtaining a huge 3.1 billion points, which allowed him to exchange for a large amount of Cultivation resources.
Coupled with being a Personal Disciple of Ice Summit Master, a Prodigy-level Genius implicitly even more outstanding than Kedi, considering various factors, the higher-ups ultimately set him a military merit quota of 30 trillion.
Compared to 30 trillion, 1 billion is naturally not much, which is why Ender remained calm.
"The Extraterritorial Battlefield is very cruel. Many have become World Master Generals through repeated life-and-death tempering, but very, very few can directly rival Immortals."
Immortal 'Lightning Flash' sighed softly, "As far as I know, in the entire 003 Barracks Base, there are only three or four Human Race World Masters with such strength."
"There's nothing we can do, our Human Race has a poor foundation." Fortress shook his head slightly and said, "Conversely, many of our allies, and our enemies, the Zerg's World Master Mother Queens, and the Mechanical Race's World Masters, can all rival Immortals."
At this point, Fortress smiled and looked at Ender, "Fortunately, we now have Atlas, who can rival an ordinary Immortal."
"Haha, with Atlas, a powerful expert who can rival an ordinary Immortal, our team will have the combat power of three 'Immortals'," Lightning Flash said with a laugh, then suddenly changed the topic, "But Atlas, you must hide your strength and not expose it unless absolutely necessary."
"Oh, why?" Ender asked, puzzled.
"You don't know," Lightning Flash replied, "There are very few Human Race World Masters who can rival ordinary Immortals, and they have always been a priority kill target for the alien races. The alien races offer generous rewards for our Human Race World Master Geniuses."
"A thousand years ago, the alien races went crazy for some reason and increased the bounty on World Master Geniuses. Once a World Master Genius capable of rivaling an ordinary Immortal appears, they will inevitably face even more frenzied encirclement and slaughter from the alien races."
Lightning Flash's expression was solemn. "So, hiding your strength is good for both you and our team."
'A thousand years ago... was it aimed at me?' Ender listened carefully, then nodded slightly and said, "Understood, I will hide my strength."
The alien races started going crazy a thousand years ago, and this timing is very subtle, because he broke through to become a World Master a thousand years ago.
Seeing Ender agree, both Captain 'Fortress' and Vice-Captain 'Lightning Flash' felt relieved in their hearts. "It seems Atlas is not someone who refuses to listen to advice."
They were both afraid that a Genius like Ender would be stubborn and not listen to their advice, insisting on showing his strength comparable to an ordinary Immortal from the start.
If Ender insisted on doing that, it would undoubtedly put their team in a difficult position, attracting the encirclement and interception of elite alien teams, placing them in danger.
And facing such a stubborn person, even if they possessed the combat power to rival an ordinary Immortal, they would not hesitate to kick him out of the team.
Fortress smiled and said, "Haha, with a Powerhouse like Atlas joining our team, our survival rate will greatly increase in the future."
Everyone also laughed, and the team atmosphere was very relaxed. With Ender, a Powerhouse who could rival an ordinary Immortal, joining, they gained an extra sense of security.
...
Seven days later.
After seven days of communication, the new recruits who had just arrived at the Extraterritorial Battlefield had significantly improved their combat experience in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, thanks to the detailed explanations from the veterans.
Combat in the Extraterritorial Battlefield is different from that in the Human Territory; here, cooperation is more emphasized. Some ordinary World Master Generals, with tacit cooperation, can rival ordinary Immortals.
Ender also listened attentively during this process. Although his strength was indeed strong, this was the Extraterritorial Battlefield, where there were many Powerhouses and countless unexpected situations. Information and intelligence might not be as useful as the combat experience orally shared by veterans.
By the eighth day.
Once the new recruits had absorbed enough experience, it was time to leave the Barracks Base and head to the real battlefield.
...
In a hall with a diameter of over thirty thousand kilometers, hundreds to thousands of people occupied a very small area of this massive hall, simply because it was large enough to accommodate billions of Universe Warriors.
Seeing so many Universe Warriors gathered for the first time, Naviya exclaimed, "Wow, so many people."
"Princess Your Highness, the number of people here is not that many yet. If we encounter a large army gathering, that's when there are many people," a Spiritwing Clan veteran said. "A large army, one division alone has millions of people, and an army group has 100 divisions, totaling hundreds of millions of people."
Ender looked ahead, only to see spaceships lined up in order within the hall.
Some of these spaceships were thousands of meters in diameter, while others were only a hundred meters in diameter, and the number of Universe Warriors they held also varied.
Some spaceships accommodated millions of Universe Warriors, while others only accommodated a few Powerhouses.
"Get on the spaceship, we're going to queue," Captain 'Fortress' had already retrieved a sword-shaped spaceship, over a hundred meters long, from his World Ring.
"Understood."
Everyone entered the spaceship and proceeded along the corridor to the lounge.
The lounge had a diameter of twenty meters and a height of nearly ten meters, with an area of nearly four hundred square meters, enough for an Eleven-meter tall, normal-sized World Master to rest comfortably.
Fortress, with his dragonfly-like wings retracted, leaned gently on a sofa and introduced to the new recruits, "This spaceship is an E9-level Spaceship. It generally only travels near the Barracks Base. If it encounters an attack while traveling in the battlefield, it will be instantly scrapped."
"The most expensive part of this spaceship is this lounge, which is entirely made of F9-level metal and can withstand the material attacks of Immortals."
"Moreover, this lounge can be dismantled and moved, and can be installed on other spaceships, serving as our team's resting sanctuary."
Fortress smiled and said, "Once we are far from the Barracks Base, we will transfer to a C-level spaceship. This E9-level Spaceship is quite valuable; if it gets damaged, it will pain me for a long time."
Ender nodded slightly. Although this E9-level Spaceship was made of alloy, its surface had Law secret patterns solidified, making its value far exceed that of ordinary E9-level Mechanical spaceships.
"C-level spaceships are different. They are mass-produced and purchased at a very low price. Even if a hundred or a thousand are lost, I won't feel any pain."
Fortress laughed, "C-level spaceships are just slow to accelerate, but as long as there's enough time to accelerate to light speed, they can still enter the Dark Universe, and moving the lounge onto them can still ensure our safety."
The newcomers expressed their understanding. In this Extraterritorial Battlefield where Immortals roam, E9-level Spaceships are indeed easily damaged. Since they are going to be damaged anyway, why not choose a cheaper C-level Spaceship?
"By the way, since this is your first time in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, I'll show you something spectacular," Fortress said with a smile, opening the virtual simulated external view.
Ender was sitting on the sofa, but his eyes could no longer see the sofa or the floor. He only saw the vast hall and the spaceships lining up.
As time passed, spaceships swiftly flew into the passage one by one, and soon, the spaceship Ender and his team were on also flew into the passage.
Flying along the passage, after a straight flight of approximately hundreds of thousands of kilometers, it began to turn, flying along an curved passage. All the spaceships followed this curved passage.
Just a moment!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Along the straight passage, hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, gates fell one by one, beginning to close tightly.
At the same time!
The outermost passage gates of the entire massive Barracks Base began to open. Out of tens of thousands of dense passages, only a few hundred passage gates were opened.
Naviya looked at the surrounding virtual simulated scene and asked, "Uncle Fortress, where is the spectacular sight you mentioned?"
"Haha, Princess, you'll know in a moment."
Fortress smiled. He also called Naviya 'Princess Your Highness', but he wasn't as respectful towards her, after all, he still had his Immortal privileges.
"Activate energy defense," Fortress commanded the spaceship's intelligent brain, "Depart."
As soon as the words fell, the spaceship Ender and his team were on instantly flew out from one of the passage exits of the massive Barracks Base.
Whoosh!
Flying out from the massive Barracks Base into the Void, all team members instantly turned to look at the massive Barracks Base behind them. Even the veterans, who had gone out to battle many times, couldn't help but turn back to watch.
Because—it was too spectacular!
The entire Barracks Base was at least several million kilometers in diameter; it was a war base even larger than the sun!
At the same time, the surface of this colossal war base was completely enveloped by a layer of colorful energy shield. This was an energy shield covering a war base several million kilometers in diameter, truly immense.
How shocking is it to view the sun up close? Let alone viewing such a menacing war base up close.
"Colorful energy shield," "mysterious and powerful solidified Law secret patterns," "Mechanical muzzles several hundred kilometers in diameter," "dense passage points," "innumerable energy points."
This was a perfect existence that elevated the violent war machine to the stage of "art"!
"Wow!"
Naviya exclaimed. Even though she was a girl who loved beauty, she couldn't help but be excited when she saw the huge war base behind her.
"Isn't it spectacular?" Fortress looked at the war base and said with a smile, "The reason I chose this name is because of this magnificent war base."
"More than just spectacular!" The Spiritwing Clan new recruit, Harvey, stared intently at the war base, his eyes filled with fanaticism. "This is simply art! The ultimate art!"
Ender also nodded slightly. Even with his experience, seeing this war base with a diameter of several million kilometers felt spectacular.
"Not just spectacular." At this moment, Lightning Flash spoke, "This 003 Barracks Base is an AAA-level Spiritual God Base. Only an Advanced-stage Universe Venerable or above can destroy it, but inside the Barracks Base, it is absolutely safe."
"Absolutely safe..." Ender listened, shaking his head inwardly. "This so-called absolute safety is only relative. In the Extraterritorial Battlefield, where Universe Venerables rarely appear, an AAA-level Spiritual God Base is certainly safe."
Let alone a Universe Master, even a Universe Overlord-level expert could probably break through the defenses of this AAA-level Spiritual God Base.
War bases like 'AAA-level Spiritual God Base' and 'Star Fortress' are more for dealing with Immortals and ordinary Universe Venerables, providing a safe resting place for soldiers on the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
In the struggles at the level of Universe Overlords and even Universe Masters, they are simply useless.
Whether it's the Human Race, or other Pinnacle forces or powerful forces, the competition for resources is primarily dominated by high-end combat power.
"Alright."
As they moved further away from the Barracks Base, Fortress spoke, "Now we need to transfer to a C-level spaceship. Next, we must be careful of sneak attacks from the alien races..."
